| While traveling in highway at 65 mph, my 2007 jeep compass jerked and i loss acceleration down to 40 mph and then it would not go any faster even with the gas petal down to the floor. got off highway and car only would go 25 mph. just had a tune up two days prior to this problem. when the car jerked and loss acceleration, the engine came on and began to blink and ring. after the tune up the dealership said everything was good. i guess that wasn't true. problem with transmission? | |||

| 2007 jeep compass. consumer states problem with automatic transaxle and transmission overheat *tgw the consumer stated two of the three jeeps she owns were having the same problems. during high speed driving, on hot days the automatic transxale oil became extremely hot, and the transmission overheat light would illuminate and the vehicle would slow down slightly until the automatic transaxle cooled down enough to allow a return to the requested speed. the transmission fluid was low due to a leak in the transmission pan. *jb | |||

| I have a 2007 jeep compass. and for the past year i have had several issues with the vehicle stalling when i am decelerating or stalling when at a complete stop. some times the vehicle jerks so bad that my seat belt locks up. i took it to the dealership where i bought it and they said there was nothing wrong with it but that the tech's are unfamiliar with the new transmission in this vehicle. i also have problems with the driver side seatbelt it clicks when i put it on but then all of a sudden it will come right off. i had a screw stuck in my front tire today and could not get the front tire off when we finally got it off we figured out why it would not come off there is rust. i am very unhappy with the problems and scared that the vehicle will stall when i am on a major highway. *tr | |||

| My 2007 jeep compass began to make creeking noises under the hood at about 58,000 miles and then it quickly grew louder and more omnious sounding at about 60,000 miles when going at slow speeds and on uneven ground. i work on the road and so the miles pile up quickly. however, i live in the city and do not take my car off road. i assumed the noise was my sway bar - again - as did my mechanic and he told me to get it to him when it was convenient. it became obvious that the noise was likely more than the sway bar and i dropped it off to my mechanic. he diagnosed it as needing new ball joints and some tire rods. i searched the internet for a recall or known issue and there is a multitude of other compass owners who have had to have the ball joints replaced at less than 60,000 miles. that is not satisfactory longevity for ball joints. this is a $900 repair that should not be paid by the consumer. a recall should be made for this issue. a vehicle in this condition is extremely unsafe to drive to those within it and others on the road. | |||
