general problems of the 2009 Jeep Compass

Front and rearsubframe extremely rusted, making it dangerous to drive. Fuse box under front hood in front of driver side rusting out wiring. Not main fuse box but the one with relays.

The contact owns a 2009 Jeep Compass. While driving various speeds, the air bag warning indicator illuminated and the anti lock braking system, electronic stability program, and traction warning indicators would remain illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or local dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs due to the diagnostic fees. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Electronic throttle control has severe problem, almost stalling out at highway speed. Iam scared of a 'stall-out" while in traffic that could result in severe injury or death. First severe occurrance was on may 15th,2015. And has been occurring frequently eversince.

1) water leaks through the interior lights (near sunroof panel). Waterspots also on roof. I am worried that I'll get an electrocution at some point if I use my interior lights after it has rained/snowed. All options are factory. 2) clutch/transmission/engine need to be replaced at 49,000. This is a manual, and should not need to be replaced this soon. When you remove the oil cap, there is compression in the tank. This is extremely dangerous and needs to be replaced ASAP. Unfortunately, the only way to do this is get a new engine (or rebuild existing. ) this is completely unsafe and unwarranted for a vehicle so "new". Due to being a subsequent owner, this is not covered under the lifetime powertrain warranty provided by Chrysler/Jeep.

The low tire pressure warning light on the dash comes on continually on this vehicle; even when all four tires are properly inflated. As an example, I just had new tires installed, all were set to the manufacturer's recommended tire inflation pressure, and within hours of leaving the tire shop, the low tire pressure warning light began coming on. It comes on continually. There will be periods when it does not illuminate and other periods when it illuminates every few minutes. This is not only aggravating but it is a safety concern. When a red warning light continually illuminates on the dash, your attention is constantly drawn away from the road to the dashboard display. This is a non-functioning warning light and Chrysler needs to address the problem.
