NHTSA Complaint #11246384 — 2017 JEEP COMPASS

TAKATA RECALL, BOUGHT THE CAR IN APRIL 2018 AND AFTER 2 MONTHS I STARTED EXPERIENCING A STRANGE KICK COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING, I TOOK IT NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND COULD NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM UNTIL 7 MONTHS LATER WHEN IT STATTED TO DO IT KORE OFTEN. AFTER SOME RESEARCH AND TALKING TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH THE SAME CAR I FOUND OUT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. UNFORTUNATELY, BY THE TIME THE DEALERSHIP REALIZED IT WAS A DEFECT, MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. 2 DAYS AGO, MY CAR COMPLETELY WENT OUT AND DIDN'T TURN ON, I HAD TO TOW IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW I AM BEING CHARGED OVER TWO-THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GET AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM FIXED. ON TOO OF MAKING MY MONTHLY PAYMENTS, I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A LEMON VEHICLE I PURCHASED.
