Three problems related to body have been reported for the 2019 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Parked 2019 Jeep Compass in normal parking lot went inside for a few hours then heard popping noises from parking lot. Ran outside to see engine caught on fire and burst into flames via the engine compartment damaging the entire front half of the vehicle. After flames put out, there was a large hole in the hood of the car going down into the engine that damaged the windshield, bumper, engine, light, tires and doors. Other cars around mine were damaged as well as the fire spread. Was parked at hotel parking lot for a few hours before caught on fire.
The windshield wiper came off during a storm the day I bought the vehicle. 3 or 4 weeks later the front bumper popped off under the passenger headlight while driving down the interstate. Local dealership told me the vehicle was not assembled properly at the factory.
I bought this vehicle at hawk Chrysler Dodge Jeep 7911 w roosevelt rd, forest park, IL 60130 on 04/8/19 . I drove off the lot without a proper explanation/presentation of my vehicle, no one went over the features with me. When I arrived at home, a family member pointed out that the lcd screen qhere the mileage is displayed was not working. At first I thought it may turn on with one of the button on the vehicle because I've never owned a vehicle like this. After 10 -15 minutes of playing around with buttons I couldn't figure it out and called the dealership, the salesperson said to bring it back for an update. On the way back to the dealership I got into a car accident because I was on my way back to the dealer and I did not realize how fast I was going since mileage was not displayed. Now, I have damage on the front driver side of the vehicle less than 24hrs later. It is now 04/23/19 and the vehicle is under the dealership possession because the part to the lcd screen is on back order. According to the salesperson, I just needed an update, wrong.
