2017 Jeep Compass Steering problems

I am reporting a serious steering/suspension safety problem with my 2017 Jeep Compass. After picking the vehicle up from the dealership following repairs/service, the vehicle was significantly more difficult and frightening to control than before. While driving, the Jeep will suddenly veer toward the shoulder/ditch or toward/over the center line even though I have not intentionally moved the steering wheel in that direction. I have to repeatedly correct the steering to keep the vehicle in my lane. The problem...

Tire rods and suspension failed vehicle is unsafe to operate .

When driving my Jeep Compass, there have been numerous instances of the vehicle stalling out when slowing down or stopping at a light/stop sign. This has happened on busy roads, at busy intersections, and on country roads. When it happens, I cannot control any aspect of the vehicle; the breaks no longer work, I cannot turn the wheel, I cannot change gears or easily put it into park, and it takes multiple attempts to turn it off and back on. There are no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the...

The contact owns a 2017 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while driving at approximately 60 MPH, there was an abnormal clunking sound detected. While turning the steering wheel, the abnormal sound was detected. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who stated the failure was due to the rack and pinion. The parts were back ordered. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.

While driving at highway speeds, the engine shut off and power steering is disabled. The dashboard says that the car is still on and will not restart the car. This is an EXTREEMLY dangerous situation, and my family is lucky to be alive. The problem had been reproduced by Christian Brother Automotive. They have replaced the camshaft sensor as well as the batteries and updated the firmware of the car. The issue continues to persist, and Christian Brothers will not release the car to me. No the Vehicle has not...

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.

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.

Car stalled 4 times in the last 4 months while at stop lights. I was stopped at light and when I went to move again the car stalled-all panel lights flashed and car would not turn on again. After multiple attempts the car finally started. After the most recent occurrence I drove immediately to the nearest midas because oi was afraid to drive it any farther. They ran diagnostics and could not find a definitive answer. The battery was fine.

Tl* the contact leased a 2017 jeep compass. The contact stated that the steering wheel made an abnormal clicking noise. The steering wheel was replaced; however, the failure continued with the steering wheel being structurally unsound. In addition, the fuel gauge failed to provide a proper reading. The gauge indicated that it was empty when there was fuel in the fuel tank and vice versa. The vehicle was not repaired after it was taken back and forth to manhattan jeep (629 w 54th st, new york, ny 10019, 1-(877) 225-8709). The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 10.

Car shuts off when coming to a stop when the auto off/on is turned off. Engine light finally started coming on but did not at first. After restarting the car and trying to pull out it dies again sometimes leaving you in the middle of an intersection. I got stranded for about 20 minutes when it shut off. Eventually I was able to get it restarted and get home with it. Not sure if this is related but when turning I can hear a "ding" like a bell. There was also a light that came on which looked like a lightening bolt....

My daughter purchased a brand new 2017 jeep compass from papas dodge in new britain, ct. The stop/start feature on this vehicle intermittently fails. When this occurs the vehicle is in motion and the engine stalls causing loss of steering and brakes. The dealer apparently can not emulate the problem but they do not drive it on a daily basis. My daughter is terrified to drive this car and was almost in an accident as a result. Also, this vehicle has excessive oil consumption. Have to add 1 1/2 quart between oil changes.

The ess system activated when I stopped for a red light. When the light changed and I let go the break, the engine sputtered and the emergency break turned itself on, the wheel became very stiff and the breaks became very hard to press, cause me to roll forward when I tried stopping. The only way I could regain full control was to restart the car while I was in the middle of an intersection.
