2009 JEEP COMPASS 4X4 Electrical System Problems

THE CAR WILL NOT START. GET IN THE CAR, TURN THE KEY, NO SOUND FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. NO CLICKING, NOTHING. THE RADIO WORKS, THE FAN WORKS, THE LIGHTS WORK. HAVE CHECKED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, STARTER, NONE OF THAT IS THE PROBLEM. SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH JEEPS BASED ON INTERNET SEARCH. HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE. DOES NOT PUT OUT A CODE FOR A CODE READER TO SCAN AND REPORT.

1) WATER LEAKS THROUGH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS (NEAR SUNROOF PANEL). WATERSPOTS ALSO ON ROOF. I AM WORRIED THAT I'LL GET AN ELECTROCUTION AT SOME POINT IF I USE MY INTERIOR LIGHTS AFTER IT HAS RAINED/SNOWED. ALL OPTIONS ARE FACTORY. 2) CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION/ENGINE NEED TO BE REPLACED AT 49,000. THIS IS A MANUAL, AND SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED THIS SOON. WHEN YOU REMOVE THE OIL CAP, THERE IS COMPRESSION IN THE TANK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ASAP. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ONLY WAY TO DO THIS IS GET A NEW ENGINE (OR REBUILD EXISTING.) THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND UNWARRANTED FOR A VEHICLE SO "NEW". DUE TO BEING A SUBSEQUENT OWNER, THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY PROVIDED BY CHRYSLER/JEEP. *TR

THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH COMES ON CONTINUALLY ON THIS VEHICLE; EVEN WHEN ALL FOUR TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. AS AN EXAMPLE, I JUST HAD NEW TIRES INSTALLED, ALL WERE SET TO THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE, AND WITHIN HOURS OF LEAVING THE TIRE SHOP, THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON. IT COMES ON CONTINUALLY. THERE WILL BE PERIODS WHEN IT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE AND OTHER PERIODS WHEN IT ILLUMINATES EVERY FEW MINUTES. THIS IS NOT ONLY AGGRAVATING BUT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN A RED WARNING LIGHT CONTINUALLY ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH, YOUR ATTENTION IS CONSTANTLY DRAWN AWAY FROM THE ROAD TO THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. THIS IS A NON-FUNCTIONING WARNING LIGHT AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *TR
