1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 04/06/2020

The Jeep Compass 2008 truck was on the highway and it turn on the airbag light and it started to turn it of and back on until it just left a solid airbag light. My vehicle hasn't in no accidents or any off rode use.

2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 12/09/2014

When I rains very heavily or snows, water will start to leak out of the front dome light. Sometimes it drips, sometimes it is a steady stream that comes out. I talk to the dealership and they are not sure why it is doing it. When it happens, it is very distracting as the water spills all over my dash, radio, and gear shift.

3 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2012

Overtime it rains my front dome light fills with water and it drips/leaks/gushes out. Brought it in several times, they "clean the filters" but it continues to happen. This has happened since October of 2008 when I bought the vehicle. I now drive with a towel to hold over light or I lay it across under light to catch the water. This is very distracting and could easily cause an accident. I also had so much water leak into shifting knob area that something shorted out in my car and it started on its own! there were no keys in the ignition and it was running. I was drivable with keys in the ignition, but it would not turn off! dropped it at dealers overnight and it was dead in the morning. This terrified me! had my barking dog not awakened us, we could have been poisoned with carbon monoxide. This is why I keep a towel in the car.
