Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK TUBE IS BROKEN IN IN 5 YEARS WITH LESS THAN 42000 MILES! NO ONE TOUCH IT, JUST TODAY AFTERNOON, AFTER I FILLED THE GAS, I FOUND SOMETHING STRETCH OUT IN THE FRONT UNDER THE COVER, I LOOK CLOSELY, A TUBE! I OPEN THE COVER, AND FOUND THE TRANSMISSION TUBE HAS BEEN BROKEN SOMETIME! NO ONE HAS TOUGH INSIDE, AND THERE IS NO ACCIDENT IN MY CAR. THE JEEP COMPASS DESIGN MUST HAVE DEFECT, I SEARCH ONLINE, MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAME PROBLEM! ALSO, COULD NOT PULL UP THE WINDOWS, BUT COULD PULL DOWN THE WINDOW, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS DEFECTS.
