general problems of the 2014 Jeep Compass - part 2

On 6/19/14 we checked out a 2014 Jeep Compass sport. During test drive we could hear air noise. Dealer assured us it would be fixed. We signed contract, took car back for them to test to verify air noise. It was verified. They put new weather stripping on two door's windows. The "fixed" weather stripping immediately was buckling and the air noise was still there and water came in after they washed the car. Took car back and the dealer said they needed to replace weather stripping on all four doors. Took car back for repairs. The dealer said three of four windows looked o. K. He said he didn't know how the fourth one could be fixed as he didn't think adhesive could be put on adhesive, and he'd call me the next day to tell me what can be done. None of the other windows have adhesive. As of the next day the weather stripping is coming off, buckling, etc. On all four doors again even the one with some adhesive on it. Continued air noise. Even right after the weather stripping was fixed there was air noise. Still no call from the dealer as of 8/19/14 am calling Chrysler. I have read one other complaint as mine on edmunds.

I bought my car 2/5/14, brand spanking new (only 35 miles on it). I was stopped at a stop light at night far away from my home waiting for it to turn green. At this point the car has about 365 miles on it. The car jerked a few times but sounded like it was about to take off, like it was shifting by its own. Car did not rpm. It stopped jerking however happened again a few seconds later. When the light turned green, the car would not go anywhere. I had to press on the gas for a long time before the car decided to move or even shift into a gear. Car would move but only in 1st gear, it rpm'd all the way to 4. The temperature guage showed that the car got hotter than usual. Once I found a safe place to park, I idled into a angle parking spot and by then the car wouldn't move anymore - solid engine light came on. Once I got a hold of the dealer they gave me instructions for towing. As soon as the car was put on the flatbed tow truck, all you could see was transmission fluid all over the ground. It looked like blood, everywhere. That happened on 2/12/14. It is 2/25/14 - car is still at the dealer waiting to be fixed, apparently parts are national backorder and I am angry. I had my car for 8 days; dealer has had it going on 13 days now. At least, though, I am thankful it did not happen on the expressway or what not. I could have died. The transmission is not safe; could potentially cause an accident.

Purchased a new 2014 Jeep Compass, and 2 days after purchasing on my way home I set cruise control and let my foot of the pedal. When I moved my left foot closer to my seat, my shoe triggered the hood release latch. The hood popped up a few inches, and if the under hood safety wasn't there the hood could have opened completely. Same thing happened 4-5 days later, while driving down the interstate. The way the latch protrudes near the pedals is the cause for the multiple times I've accidentally triggered the hood release.
