Body problems of the 2007 Jeep Compass

The frame infront where the motor and steering attach rotted completely threw, separated at the weld. It is a safety hazard where steering is affected. The dash lights for the traction, abs, and even the cruise control are on and those items are no longer functional. This car was purchased in 2017, holiday automotive in fondulac, WI with this condition apparent. The mechanic who changed my oil reported it to me in the spring of 2018. And as of this spring the car is undrivable as it is broken. If this were to break while someone were driving it, an accident would happen.

Purchased a 2007 Jeep Compass 2nd hand and found rear subframe and suspension parts is severely rusted . The vehicle clunks and hopps with every bump in the road. If you run over the reflectors while changing lanes vehicle will abruptly jerk in the directionyou are going. Took it to Jeep there was a recall for this problem that expired in 2017 I dont think there should be an expiration date for a safety hazard that thousands of Jeeps and or dodges have they told me they cant help me.

While moving , every bump or crack in road created a rattle and thud and would vibrarate though steering column. Went to repair garage and was shown rusted crossmember barely holding together. Plus sway bar broke loose from rusted area.

Front sub frame is rotted right through, apparently a common problem on these vehicles.

I have a 2007 Jeep Compass 4wd. The rear subframe on the driverside is rotten out and making the driver side rear wheel bend. I have a 4 year that goes in my car, and I have looked online. Jeep was made aware of the rust rot, and choose not to do anything.

Severe corrosion to the frame and sub frame of the Jeep Compass. The front sub frame is separating from the frame and now the vehicle is unstable and unsafe to drive. There should not be this much corrosion on a 2007 vehicle of any kind.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Jeep Compass 4x4. The contact stated that there was a failure pertaining to the warning light illuminating for the tpms alerting the contact to check the front drivers side tire. The contact had serviced the tire with some air and without knowing, the cross member had fractured into the tire, upon making a left turn from a fueling station and the vehicle was unable to be driven.

The vehicle was then towed to a second facility for testing and diagnosis. A dealer had not been contacted yet to diagnose the failure.

The vehicle failed inspection last week due to x58 front/rear crossmember being completely rusted and in dangerous condition. Apparently this was under warranty because this has been a serious issue. I was not aware of the problem nor the warranty and now I'm stuck with a car that is not drivable.

Started hearing a lot of noises in the front end, took it to my local mechanic. He said the front cross member was rusted in 2, which was causing everything to rock. Not safe to drive. He said this has been an ongoing problem for a long time with Chrysler products.

The underneatheth is rotted and there was a secret recall! because as a owner of a Jeep I ever got a letter and if you look online almost everyone with this year Jeep has the same problem.

Severe corrosion of crossmembers & incomplete dealer servicing of issue. A TSB # 23-012-14 issued 5/19/2014 extended coverage of crossmembers to unlimited mileage & 10 years. Dealer replaced front crossmember 02/2017 within coverage period but claim condition at time of rear crossmember didn't also warrant replacement despite lack of metal structure to walls of crossmember and have declined to extend repair to an obviously long existing problem of rear crossmember condition.

I heard noise in the front of the vehicle and was told that the front subframe cross member is completely rotted. By looking at the Jeep you would never know anything is wrong because it is well maintained. I was wondering if there are any recalls for this type of problem in upstate NY.

I drove for several hours when my car started sliding to the side. I stopped to check and both my back tires were angled inward and completely ruined. I took the car to a mechanic for alignment, but he could not move the parts due to an excessive amount of rust. He mentioned that the whole subframe and arms had heavy corrosion and whole and the pieces could break anytime soon and I should not be driving the car. An extended warranty is applicable to the k frame for the model of my car but Jeep will not honor the warranty on my particular vehicle. I haven't drove the car since.

I'm just going to list the problems with dates to make it easier to get a visual of the problem! 2009 4x4 indicator light came on - oil leaking out of some 4x4 box/bearings missing went bad 50,000 miles can't remember the exact name of the part, but could call the dealer and find out what it was, 3/7/12 - cv nut lock covers needed replaced - rusted out, left outer tie rod replaced, 3/17/13 - both control arms replaced, 4/3/13 - right tie rod (inner and outer) replaced, 1/17/14, front engine cradle replaced, 3/28/14 - right wheel bearing replaced, both controls arms replaced again, axle replaced, 5/16/14 - notified that right tie rod needed replaced again. This is by far one of the most poorly designed vehicles that I have owned. It currently has 80,000 miles on it and all of the things replaced should not have needed replaced and not have needed to be replaced twice to boot! I would never again purchase or recommend purchase to anyone. Parts going bad this quickly is a danger to any other parts that may go unnoticed until it's too late!.
