Service Brakes problem #1

The contact's husband owns a 2025 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle came to an abrupt stop on several occasions. The abs and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer; however, the failure could not be diagnosed, but an unknown recall repair was performed; however, the failure recurred while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the failure was caused by a defective steering module. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the dealer had recently diagnosed the vehicle with an electric parking brake system failure, a stuck electric parking brake switch, and a potential signal failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and denied the contact’s request for buyback assistance. A case number was provided. The vehicle was not repaired and remained with the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.

Service Brakes problem #2

3 times the emergency braking has shut off during braking. The emergency braking system goes offline and displays a “needs service indicator” it has been to the dealer for repair 3 times. Each time I was told that there is no current repair solution. They simply reset the system and send me off. Each time the reset works for a few miles but does not solve the problem. The indicator is on again for a 4th time! I have only owned this car for 9 months! this is a major braking problem and needs to be addressed as I feel the company cares little for this safety issue.

Service Brakes problem #3

My [xxx] mother (Jeep enthusiast) bought a 2025 Jeep Compass. One week after she bought it the rpm light started flashing. The dealer stated the main computer (electrical system) completely failed. There is no stability in the car. There's no braking system, no power steering, no cruise control, no nothing, the seat moves without her adjusting it, the automatic dimmer switch turns on without user intervention - the Jeep is a complete lemon. It is unsafe to drive. It's like an octopus without a head. They said they'd buy it back from her for $14,000 less than she paid - a week ago. The part is on back order. She recently moved interstate and is forced to between states - 5 hours each way. I am beyond livid. She's been a lifelong Jeep owner who has been treated horribly by this company. What is the recourse??? she bought it [xxx] and has 4,000 miles on it. What can we do? information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
