| I bought a 2007 jeep compass 11 months ago from lithia chevrolet/dodge/jeep. it had 64,000 miles on it. in the 11 months that i have had the car the rack and pinion and steering pump have had to be replaced twice. at my expense. the ball joints have been replaced. my struts and brand new tires are destroyed. the whole bottom of the behicle feels like it is going to seperate from the frame. i started having these problems within 1 week of owning the vehicle. the dealership would not honor the warranty and would blow it off as me being silly. the check engine light has been on 3 times and rather than fixing the car they just reset the engine light. | |||

| Cvt transmission started making noise and not shifting at 42000 miles. no accident occurred but since jeep/dodge service departments are not authorized to perform maintenance on cvt transmissions it had to be replaced. due to issues with jeep/dodge a new transmission would have been on backorder for a minimum of 30 days. i was not able to wait that long so i found a low mileage transmission in a salvage yard and had the service department install it. because i purchased my jeep approx. 2 weeks before the lifetime powertrain warranty was initiated i had to bear the entire cost. *tr | |||

| Was dropping daughter off at the bus stop when first noticed that shifting into first gear was difficult. then it happened again when i was at a stop light, the car would not shift into 1st or 2nd gear, waited and pumped the clutch and it went in. next day was leaving home and the car would not shift after i stopped at a stop sign, and returned home after the car finally went into gear. mechanic told us that the slave cylinder was leaking profusely. our 2007 jeep compass 4x4 manual transmission only had 38,121 miles. we have been told that by several mechanics that this should not happen to a car this new with so few miles. all of the parts were on back order and our car has been in the shop nine days. jeep has fixed the problem, but has not taken the responsibility to pay for the entire repair. *tr | |||
