Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that the back hatch after locking the vehicle would not open even after the vehicle is unlocked. When this failure occurred the key was not able to be used to manually unlock the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated.

I got into my 2012 Jeep Compass ( 4x4 latitude version) and noted a drip of water on the inside of my windshield. At first I thought maybe my windshield was leaking and took note of the area. Well, I began to back out and a bunch of water came down on me through my interior light and along the edging of the ceiling of the interior along the windshield. I have had this happen to me twice before, and the issue has to do with the sunroof because of a design flaw in the sunroof drains. Researching the internet, this is an issue that has been around for years with Jeep models. I fear this will not only cause premature aging of the body due to the water coming in contact with body parts that are not meant for the weather elements, but also the risk of the water getting into areas of the dash causing electrical problems or even the vehicle computer parts under the seating. When the water collects on that ceiling panel, it drains through the interior light down onto the transmission shifter and the car stereo, and also along the paneling along the front windshield into the dash area.
The rear bumper is melted around the exhaust pipe as if there was a fire. I drive my 2 children in this car constantly. I bought this car a month ago. I was shocked to discover the melted plastic bumper and want Jeep to repair it all, exhaust pipe and bumper and problem that caused the melting, at no cost to me ASAP.
