Two problems related to transmission failure have been reported for the 2007 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that the struts, ball joints and wheel hubs had to be replaced on the vehicle three times. The dealer stated that the parts were designed to wear. The contact stated that the transmission also failed. The dealer advised the contact that the cvt part was the cause of the failure and the entire transmission would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 128,000.
The cvt transmission failed. There is a public danger because of sudden failure and engine revving to maximum rpm. . . Total loss of power to drive train. The cvt transmission replacement costs should have been debited back to the supplier at 100%. I see this is a common problem in the vehicles manufactured with the cvt transmission. Chrysler would not complete the repairs until we agreed to share in the cost. I feel this item should be recalled as a safety issue. I also feel that Chrysler should refund our $750 to us in good faith.
