general problems of the 2008 Jeep Compass

I bought a used veichle from a small private used dealership in las vegas nv believing it had 134000 miles when in reality they knew that was not the real mileage it has over 172,000 cant get my money back cz they say I bought it has is they tamper with the odometer and lie to me I was recently aware when I got insurance from gico it was there when I saw the thruth about the veichle true history and odmeter the dealership name is emporio auto sales located 2685 n nellis blvd, las vegas, nv 89115.

Balance shaft module has left metal in our oil. It went bad causing our engine to go dead while we was driving down interstate.

The subframe is rotting out to the point it's dangerous to drive.

I just got gas and was about to pull into traffic when out of the blue my engine just stopped running. The radio and lights were still working but when I put my foot on the gas pedal I never moved. I had to restart the engine just to get going again. There was not even any warning lights on the dashboard and still aren't.

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that there was engine cradle corrosion. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they diagnosed that the engine cradle would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle failure mileage was at 80,000. Ds.

2008 Jeep Compass engine cradle failed nys inspection due to premature rusting. 2007 model year was extended warranty for 10 years on engine cradle because of premature rusting. My Jeep was manufactured in March of 2008. I am sure the engine cradle part was manufactured in 2007 and placed into the 2008 because no replacement or update was made to the part between 2007 and 2008. Jeep refused to cover the 2008 which I had to pay for repair. This part if not repaired and during an accident will cause serious structural damage to the vehicle which could cause serious injury or death to the occupants in the vehicle. I have taken photos and the failed nys inspection notice. I have also made a copy of this report for my records.

My husband was driving the speed limit which was 70mph. All of a sudden the car slowed down to 40mph. It would not go any faster. He even tried to give it a little more gas but it still would not go any faster. Then it slowed down to 35 then 30. There was nothing you could do. It sounded like the transmission would not shift. It sounded like it was in a lower gear and would not shift to a higher gear. The car then started to over heat. We opened the sun roof, rolled down the windows and turned off the ac. We even turned the heat on as recommended in the manual but no luck. We ended up having to stop. On the interstate this was horrible. I thought we were going to be hit from behind. People are going to fast and even though your in the right lane they don't slow down but try to go around you. It's the people who can't get over into the left lane and just about run over you that is terrifying. We were told by the Chrysler dealership that this happened to the Jeep Compass all the time. Sometimes 1-2 times or 2-3 times. They will diagnose the problem and fix it. How can you fix something after its run the transmission so hard? my thing is put a new transmission in it and whatever else it needs new. We have a bumper to bumper warranty and I can bet we will be charged something. Who is to say it won't happen again, or when my grandchildren are with me? I wish I had known about this problem with this Jeep I personally wouldn't have bought it. It has already been paid off and darn, look what just happened. I would like to know how many other people have had this same problem and how many times and what was done about it.

When the car pulls up to a stop light the entire vehicle shakes, and the idle drops. It drops from an normal idle 500-600 to below 500. Then shakes like a tractor.

I stopped at a stop light, began to accelerate when light turned green and the car started shaking. I pulled into a gas station, at that point my car would no longer move while pressing on the gas pedal. I had to be towed to a local mechanic and was informed my transmission had failed.
