One problem related to front suspension hub has been reported for the 2008 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Ball joints needed to be replaced. . . . I purchased 4 brand new tires around the end of 2012. The front two tires were so bad due to the ball joint/barrings I had to purchase two new front tires in April 2014. That's when I actually noticed it. I'm sure they needed replacement sooner than that. I was told both ball barrings and something called a hub barring to both the left and right wheel were so bad they were surprised I made it this long without the wheel locking up on me. I'm $1800. 00 in the hole due the this problem. I'm now seeing this is a serious problem with Jeep Compass. They need to do something to accommodate all of their customers for this ongoing problem. I want some answers!!!.
