Front Suspension Wheel Bearing problems of the 2007 Jeep Compass

The car began pulling in the front right tire intermittently. I was a half mile from home, so I turned around to go back home. As I drove into the driveway, the front right tire and entire front right suspension completely fell down (almost completely off) and the tire was pushed sideways and into the frame of the wheel well on the car. The car came to an immediate and abrupt halt. Had I been driving on the road when this occurred, my car would have flipped and I would have crashed and could have been killed! this is a huge safety problem and defect that I believe should be part of a recall. I have read many reports of problems with this model/year concerning the wheel bearings, lower control arms, and tie rods. I have great concern driving this vehicle in the future after it is repaired.

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!.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Compass. While the contact was driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle began to pull to the left. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the front ball joints and front the wheel bearings would need to be replaced. Also, the technician detected that additional repairs could possibly be required. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 112,000. The VIN was unavailable.

I recently had my 2007 Jeep Compass in to dealer to check out why vehicle was handling improperly . Found out I needed $3000 of front and rear suspension prts including control arms front and back wheel bearings x 4 ,ball joints the whole bit in researching this I find I am one of possibly thousands with the same problems on the same year Jeep Compass. I have been loyal to Chrysler even after owning a neon with many problems but this is definately the last Chrysler Dodge or Jeep product I will ever purchase. This vehicle is simply a lemon and should be recalled.
