Five problems related to wiper have been reported for the 2016 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Occasionally, while driving, the vehicle will exhibit catastrophic electrical system failures. I was driving home just last night, and my headlights, turn signals, horn, windshield wipers, dash lights, hazard lights, and cruise control all turned off. I was able to limp it home with the help of someone driving in front of me, because I could not see. Imagine doing 45 mph on a turn at night, in an area with no streetlights, and all of a sudden your headlights and running lights turn off. I'm lucky I didn't hit a tree. No hazards means no one would have seen me on the road waiting for help until it was too late.
Takata recall my Jeep was t-boned, by on coming traffic. Both doors on the right side, were smashed in. The doors were smashed in, meaning the doors were inoperable. The doors can't be opened, or shut. None of the air bags, in the entire vehicle deployed.
When it is raining or when the snow on my Jeep begins to melt, the sunroof leaks. The sunroof controlls and overhead lights (which is located next to the sunroof) fills up with water and leak all over; on the driver, front passenger, dashboard, etc. Creating a distraction while attempting to drive.
Takata recall. At random moments without hitting the wipper switch at all the windshield wipers will come on. This has happened multiple times. Sometimes if I turn my blinker on which is a opposite stick they will activate. When this does happen my lights will flicker very briefly. I have had no kind of alterations done to the vehicle cosmetic or electrical so I have no clue what is causing this. And yes every time it happens it's while the vic is in motion.
When running the ac the windshield inside becomes foogy and makes ot harder to see when driving. Chrysler says its normal. Could cause a fatal acident.
