NHTSA Complaint #10346032 — 2007 JEEP COMPASS 4X4

I BOUGHT MY JEEP COMPASS LESS THAN A YEAR AGO WITH 42,000 MILES. ITS NOW ABOUT 10 MONTHS LATER AND I HAVE 46,000 MILES ON THIS JEEP (I.E. I DON'T DRIVE IT A TON) I HAVE DONE ZERO OFF ROADING AND I ALWAYS TRY TO AVOID POTHOLES AND BAD ROADS. TOOK IT IN TO INVESTIGATE SOME LOUD NOISES COMING FROM FRONT... ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT MY LOWER CONTROL ARMS HAVE TO BE REPLACED DUE TO BAD BALL JOINTS, OUTER TIE RODS ON BOTH SIDES IN THE FRONT, AND NEW BRAKES AND FRONT LEFT ROTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I FIND THESE PROBLEMS TO BE ABSURD, CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. ALL OF THIS COSTING OVER $1000 TO REPAIR. JEEP NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND CLEARLY RECALL THESE ISSUES. I AM NOT HAPPY AFTER READING ALL OF THE SIMILAR PROBLEMS OF OTHER JEEP COMPASS OWNERS; AND IT MAKES ME EVEN MORE UPSET TO LEARN THAT MOST OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE RE-OCCURRING WITHIN 2-3 YRS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.. ORJEEP WILL BE LOSING MY BUSINESS IN THE FUTURE... THANKS! *TR
