When starting the vehicle the error message comes on with the man holding the air bag and it comes on bigger in the dashboard too. And feels like the car runs hotter with this message on. If someone is riding in the passenger side and I get into an accident. It could be deadly for that person. So the area is on the passenger side. Yes spoke to the dealer at flow Volvo in greensboro nc, and she know about the problem of the car also. I do see in 2017 there was a patrolman that noted the kbb about the situation. Now I was no there so I do know abything about it,just read this on the kbb information for the car. And as I have stated when you start the car the the warning lamp with the man comes on small holding the air bag and in the dashboard also. Also uploading pictures of the warning lamps.

The seat belts on both sides of the rear seats have frayed completely through the belt webbing at the same exact point. Where the belts connects to the retractor I believe is the name of it. Both belts are entirely separated at the point where they pass through the outer wall. If my inspection station didn't notice the problem on the passenger rear they would not have looked at the driver's side rear which was not completely separated and any occupant could have seriously been hurt. The dealership inspected them and confirmed the damages described above and the manufacturer (Jeep) also was notified of this defect. They were no warning signs.

Electrical.

Seat belt will randomly disengage and not remain clicked into the lock on the both front seats but is more common with the drivers side. Will need to click it in and out of the lock until it finally re-engages the lock.

Since 2023, my vehicle has had water leakage coming from the back right passenger side from the seat belt opening and right side of the back trunk. This is a major concern because my son’s car seat is seated on the right back seat where the water leakage is coming from. I don’t want any mold to grow under his car seat or on his car seat. Also I gave jumper cables in the back of my trunk for safety. What if they were to get soak and wet then they are not able to work. Also I put my groceries in the trunk of my car. I don’t want them to get spoiled or become contaminated.

The gear selection lights near the gear shift go on and off for no apparent reason. I can not see which gear I am in at night. I am afraid that this is indicative of a more serious electrical problem. I am still under warranty because I purchased added care plus from directly from Jeep that covers me through the end of December 2024. I took the vehicle to Jeep dealer ch urness motors in the dalles, oregon. The owner and service manager told me that my car "is not broken enough" for them to repair. The owner, tim urness, stated that they only repair items with warning lights and that they do not honor the added care plus warranties sold by Jeep dealers unless they've sold it. Additionally, my auto stop start battery is malfunctioning, and the engine is making a strange noise. Stellains Jeep cares is not responding to my calls concerning the warranty or getting the car towed to a different dealer for service. I live in a rural area, so I will need to travel 200 miles round trip to have my car serviced and I have been advised that I will need to make the trip at least twice to have the car first diagnosed, then serviced. I know that NHTSA does not normally handle these sorts of problems, but it is a safety issue, also I would like direction on where to report the dealership and stellantis for not making necessary safety repairs covered under warranty. I had a previous issue with the same car's seatbelt webbing and had to fight to get the repair made. Thank you.

The webbing on my passenger side seat belt is inexplicably worn and ripped. It looks as if it became worn over time by the seat belt latch vibrating against it. The webbing fabric may have been irregular too. It is very strange, I will attach photos. I don't know when or how the damage occurred because I rarely have passengers in my vehicle. It was discovered yesterday when I did have a rider. The damage is too high up on the belt to have been chewed by the dog. The dog has never been left unattended in the car, is too small to have reached the belt, and is secured in the back seat with a harness and locking tether while traveling. One dealer, c. H. Urness motors in the dalles, or, wanted to charge me over $300 for repair and make me wait 3 months for the part despite my car being under warranty. They offered to expediate the process to five days for an additional fee. Supposedly the part is out of stock but for and additional charge, it can become "in stock" in five days. University auto in ellensberg, wa is attempting to make the repairs under warranty. I should hear back from them in the next few days. I am concerned that I can not safely transport passengers until the repair is made, that one dealer is attempting to overcharge and make me wait for the repair, and that there may be an issue with the manufacture of the seatbelt itself. Thank you.

Radio stops working when it wants and then comes back on, but only a few stations end up working then after. Only wants to work 40% of the time. Have not been to the dealer ship yet. Also the passenger seat when there is an actually passenger in the seat says there is not and the Jeep dings the whole car ride, even though they are buckled up. The car thinks that they are not.

The seat belt latch will not engage to properly restrain. It comes undone with very little force or pulling.

Both the passenger and diver seat belts don't latch correctly. Causing them to randomly un-latch while driving or even just initially trying to latch them when getting in. There is no odd movements causing this and they sound and act as if there is no problem until the un-latch. Have had a mechanic look into it and they confirmed that isn't not an every time failure but they are unsure as to why it works and then doesn't since it functions as it's supposed to. The only warning I get for this is the unbuckled light/sound after the incident happens.

Drivers seat belt randomly unlocks when traveling at any speed and on various road surfaces. I travel less than 2 miles to work and total on average about 20 miles/week. It has even happened on the highway while going 65mph (was not adjusting my position or moving in anyway). I purchased my 2016 Compass 4 months ago, and this has happened over 2 dozen times. It is also happening more frequently. I know the seat belt is clicked in properly because the alarm & dashboard light turn off. I hope it is investigated ASAP before is causes serious injury or fatality.

The vehicle was involved in a rear-end and front end collision, the vehicle was stationary at a red light with another vehicle in front. The vehicle behind me rear-ended the Jeep Compass at approx 50 mph pushing me into the vehicle in front of the Jeep Compass. No airbags deployed and the vehicle's seat belts failed to lock causing myself to hit the steering wheel.

Randomly the chime will come up along with the seat belt sign when a passenger is in the front seat with the seat belt on. Have not had the seat belt come out yet but would not like to have that happen.

Active headrest restraint system deployed while vehicle was parked in the driveway. Vehicle was parked in the driveway overnight, the following day we noticed that the headrest had sprung forward. Upon inspecting the headrest system I noticed that the retaining pin was still engaged in the retaining mechanism and that it had sprung because the plastic that holds the retaining pin had broken.

Driver side seat belt latch is not latching to the buckle. While putting seat belt on it disengages from the latch system completely. Several attempts to re-secure the buckle into the latch continues to allow the seat buckle to become unlatched. Extremely unsettling as while operating my vehicle knowing my seat belt comes undone at any time. Nothing is touching the buckle or latch system to cause the unbuckle at any time. Have checked by looking into the latch system to ensure no debris is inside.

Tl- the contact owns a 2018 Jeep Compass latitude. The contact stated that when his daughter started the vehicle, the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the eastchester Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram dealer (718-547-5500, located at 4007 boston rd, bronx, NY 10466)where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be repaired. The contact stated that his daughter was not provided a loaner vehicle e. The contact was told to get a loaner vehicle for two days, to be reimbursed by the dealer. The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and did not help. Additionally, the contact stated that while his daughter was at a stop light, the vehicle was rear-ended by another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The contact's wife, who was at the front passenger's seat hit her head on the dash board and suffered a concoction, the contact stated that seat belt did not hold the passenger in place. The driver sustained a back injury. The driver and the front passenger were taken to the emergency center. A police report was filed. The vehicle was damaged but was not towed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and sent someone to investigate. The investigator stated that the seat belt performed as was expected. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 19,000. Fe.

Passenger backseat seatbelt buckle, inside broke apart and is unable to receive the tongue. Car was stationary. Daughter was unable to buckle herself in seat.

The passenger seat belt mechanism does not lock. It appears to be locked in but when you pull on it, it does not stay in the locked position. In the event of an accident the passenger will not be protected. My sons friend was in the passenger seat of the vehicle and it came unbuckled when they came to a stop at a light. I do not see any recalls at this time and have found complaints to Chrysler about the problem with no resolution.

Right now it doesn't run because the brain went out while I was driving back to work from lunch. There's no response to the vehicle and the other day it completely stopped dead while I was driving 65 on my way home from work. To top my matters off with this vehicle it's had the cruise control recalled and replaced and many other parts it's a terrible vehicle. To top my stress with it my seatbelt doesn't lock when it's supposed to so if I wreck looks like I'm going through the windshield. I honestly wish I could afford another vehicle because mine I feel is going to be the death of me. I have a video of what it was doing before it completely shut down can't upload any pictures because it wouldn't do justice.

I have been trying to get in contact with bensons Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram in greer SC since the spring of 2019 about recalls on my Jeep. Finally, my dad decided to just call Chrysler and they sent us to the big o which is in greenville SC the instructed us they would order the parts and call us when they come in. It has been about 7 months since we called them in either June or July about this and since it is airbags and seatbelts we are very concerned with my safety if I was to get into a wreck.

My passenger seatbelt clip broke. All on its own. Never in an accident. Nothing should of caused it. I have low miles on the car and I have had nothing but problems. This seat belt clip is going to cost me more then $300. I just bought the car a year ago. Not fair!.

Code coming up, something to do with accelerator and front seat beat snapper stopped working year ago, been snapping from driver side into passengers. It won't take seatbelt in.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Jeep Compass sport fwd. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v-668 (seat belts, air bags) however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.

The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect. Nd.

I was involved in an accident on February 28, 2019 when I veered off into a ditch, my vehicle flew into the air after hitting a driveway, and flipped at about 55 mph. I was driving on a rural farm to market road. I was driving and the only one in the vehicle. My seatbelt never locked as I wrecked. It was buckled but never engaged. I submitted to Jeep for review and they denied my claim and said the seatbelt was working properly. My seatbelt was all the way stretched out and even frayed at the top where the loop is. My l1 instantly blew up into my spinal cord and I suffered severe injuries.

The passenger seat belt does not seem to full engage when I click my seat belt. I had noticed when we came to a sudden stop while driving to a nearby store and the self belt came undone right after I had clicked it in. Thankfully the convenience store is only a mile or so away on a main highway route. I strongly believe this is a safety issue and since then have made sure to double check by pulling on it to see if it's fully engaged. There are time where it'll keep coming undone and I have to keep clicking it on until it fully engaged.

About 10 days ago, my Jeep Compass was involved in an incident where I had to apply my brakes all of the sudden, as a deer jumped right in front of my vehicle,out of bushes. As I was applying brakes, the abs brakes did not engage, as my brake pedal did not tap back, and when Jeep finally stopped, driver seatbelt did not lock, as it should have, and I have hit my head on the ceiling, at the point where it meets the windshield. The incident has reoccurred with seatbelt failing to lock again, today, 10 days after the issue was reported to Jeep officials, who have failed to take immediate and appropriate action in this potential life threatening matter. As I have excreted all available resources of getting help in this incident resolution,I kindly ask u. S. Government to take charge of this issue and investigate in an appropriate matter, as I may be not the only owner affected by the driver seatbelt failure and this issue needs to be addressed before possible fatalities occur related to similar vehicles being involved in actual mvas and driver seatbelt not engaging the locking mechanism, when needed. As in both incidents mentioned above, my vehicle was in motion coming to a complete stop as a result of brake pedal application. Both incidents took place on rural roads with average speed limit of 45mph.

The vehicle jerks on acceleration or loses power and the engine bucks and sputters while in motion. When rolling up windows while stationary the lights dim or engine sputters. This has happened off and on for the past two years. Only recently has is scared me because I was about to pull out into oncoming traffic. I was told by the dealership in chantilly, va there is nothing wrong with my engine. My passenger seatbelt gets stuck after being engaged. I had it replaced in fall 2012 at a dealership in woodbridge, va. I still have this issue and the new dealership will not replace it because it already was in 2012.

"Jeep Compass recall". Good afternoon, I was unaware that my Jeep is under a recall. I haven't received anything in the mail regarding the recall. My address hasn't changed and I haven't heard anything in writing about my Jeep's recall. I would at least like a letter explaining my recall so I can get this taken care of as soon as possible.
