Front Suspension Control Arm problems of the 2017 Jeep Compass

Two problems related to front suspension control arm have been reported for the 2017 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Front Suspension Control Arm problem

Failure Date: 11/23/2020

On 11/23/20 I was at quirk Chrysler Jeep dealer getting an oil change and I was informed that both front lower control arms needed to be replaced the vehicle has only 33,906 miles. 2018 Jeep Compass vehicles were recalled for this same issue. This is a safety issue to have these parts fail prematurely.

2 Front Suspension Control Arm problem

Failure Date: 09/18/2020

My 2017 Jeep Compass has been having difficulty with steering/pulling. The left lower control arm and ball joint were found to be excessively loose/worn at 43,000 miles. The ball joint was previous replaced prior to 24,000 miles. This part has now been recalled on 2018 models but not 2017. The need for two such replacements on a car with 43,000 miles is terrifying and needs to be investigated.
