NHTSA Complaint #10824656 — 2015 JEEP COMPASS

THE POWER STEERING RETURN HOSE WAS IN CONTACT WITH THE FRONT SUSPENSION SWAY BAR AT CURB CONDITION WITH THE VEHICLE STATIONARY. THE SWAY BAR MOVES A COUPLE INCHES WITH SUSPENSION TRAVEL AND THIS WILL RUB ON THE POWER STEERING HOSE CONSIDERABLY AND CAN WHERE A HOLE CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST AND A FLAMMABLE FLUID SPRAYING IN THE ENGINE AND EXHAUST AREA. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT FCA HAS BEEN SHIPPING VEHICLES LIKE THIS IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THEIR SAFE DESIGN GUIDELINES OR AT LEAST 1.5 YEARS NOW FROM JULY OF 2014 UNTIL NOW. I WORKED AT FCA IN 2014 AND TOLD THEM TO CONTAIN THIS ISSUE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND I WAS IGNORED BY MY FCA MANAGEMENT AND PLANT QUALITY PEOPLE.
