2011 JEEP COMPASS Visibilitywiper Problems

WIPERS GO OFF WHEN MAKING A TURN AND/OR TURNING SIGNAL LIGHT ON. VEHICLE RANDOMLY GETS ENGINE LIGHT ON COLD DAYS (NEW ENGLAND WINTERS). THE JEEP WILL JOLT WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE OR STALL FOR A MOMENT BEFORE BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN STOPPED (AT A LIGHT FOR EXAMPLE) AND SOME NIGHTS THE JEEP WILL NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATE AND NO "REVVING" SOUND OCCURS AS THOUGH THE CAR DOES NOT REGISTER THAT IT NEEDS TO ACCELERATE AND ACCELERATION SLOWLY INCREASES TO NO MORE THAN 25-30 MPH AND STALLS AT AN INCLINE. NO LIGHT COMES ON WHEN ACCELERATING ISSUES OCCUR. WHEN ACCELERATING ISSUES OCCUR, THEY TEN TO OCCUR INNER CITY RATHER THAN HIGHWAY.

TH E COVERAGE OF THE SEATS BELT IS EXPOSED. THAT IS IN THE TWO FRONTS SEATS. THE MIRROR OF THE WINDSHIELDS WERE TAKEN OFF PARTLY AND/ OR TOTALITY BROKEN.

WE (MY HUSBAND AND I) WERE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY TO WORK AT 7:00AM WHEN IT IS STILL DARK OUTSIDE, WHEN ALL THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF (HEADLIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS AND THE HAZARDS WOULD NOT WORK). THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS THEN SHUT OFF AND IT WAS RAINING OUTSIDE. WE HAD THE JEEP TOWED HOME. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT ONE OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT COMPASS OWNERS HAVE IS THE TIPM WILL GO OUT AND CAUSE SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE WHOLE VEHICLE. I HAD TO HAVE IT FIXED AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR $651.00 BECAUSE IT IS A DEALER SPECIFIC PART. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED IN THE COMPASS WHEN IT HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE GRAND CHEROKEE, WRANGLER AND DURANGO. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT IF MY HUSBAND WASN'T SO QUICK TO GET THE JEEP OFF THE ROAD AND GET US OUT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 1 MPH OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD CRACKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR WINDOW. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDOW SHATTERED AND CAUSED A HOLE THE SIZE OF A VOLLEYBALL IN THE REAR WINDOW. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.
