Consumer Description

2010 JEEP COMPASS HAS FRONT END PROBLEMS THAT ARE NON-FIXABLE. CAR DOESN'T HOLD AN ALIGNMENT (4 SETS OF FRONT TIRES IN 3 YEARS), HAD TOTAL FRONT END CONTROL ARMS, INCLUDING JOINTS, REPLACED. NEED TIRE REPLACEMENT NOW FOR OUTER WEAR. CAR VIBRATES AROUND 40 MPH AND GETS WORST AT HIGHER SPEEDS. WAS TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS THAT THIS IS THE NORM AND THE COMPASS FRONT END AND STEERING IS BAD. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS THE GAS TANK BELOW THE BUMPER AND GETS LOWER IF YOU FILL WITH GAS. KNOWN HAZARD BUT NO RECALL OR BUY BACK.
