2007 Jeep Compass complaints

REAR DRIVER SIDE SUSPENSION RUSTED AWAY FROM FRAME. SUB FRAME EXTREMELY RUSTED NEEDS REPLACED PER JEEP DEALER CAR WANDERS NOW AND ROLLOVER FEAR. CONTACTED FIAT CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. DENY ISSUE IS THERE'S SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY. INTERNAL MEMO ALLOWED FIXING OF ISSUE UNTIL FEB 21, 2017. BUT SINCE I WAS UNAWARE THERE WAS A SAFETY ISSUE UNTIL FAILURE HAPPENED APPRX MID AUGUST 2018.

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW, BOTH FRONT TURN SIGNAL LIGHT COVERS HAVE FALLEN OFF EXPOSING THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHT FIXTURES. BOTH FELL OFF WITH IN A MONTH APART.

SEVERE CORROSION OF CROSSMEMBERS & INCOMPLETE DEALER SERVICING OF ISSUE. A TSB # 23-012-14 ISSUED 5/19/2014 EXTENDED COVERAGE OF CROSSMEMBERS TO UNLIMITED MILEAGE & 10 YEARS. DEALER REPLACED FRONT CROSSMEMBER 02/2017 WITHIN COVERAGE PERIOD BUT CLAIM CONDITION AT TIME OF REAR CROSSMEMBER DIDN'T ALSO WARRANT REPLACEMENT DESPITE LACK OF METAL STRUCTURE TO WALLS OF CROSSMEMBER AND HAVE DECLINED TO EXTEND REPAIR TO AN OBVIOUSLY LONG EXISTING PROBLEM OF REAR CROSSMEMBER CONDITION.

REPLACED FRONT TIE RODS, SWAY BAR LINKS AND PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL ARM 1 YEAR AGO. NOTICED LOTS OF NOISE AND VIBRATION COMING FROM UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WAS TOLD IT NEEDED DRIVER SIDE CONTROL ARM AND REAR CONTROL ARMS BUT THE CROSS MEMBER AND SUB FRAME WERE SO RUSTED OUT HE TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STILL BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE EVEN WITH NEW PARTS. THE COST OF REPLACING THE CROSS MEMBER AND SUB FRAME WOULD MORE THAN EXCEED THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE

FILLED GAS TANK. AFTERWARDS ENGINE STALLED IN TRAFFIC.

WHILE COMING TO A STOP, AT A LIGHT IN HEAVY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES FELT SHARP JERK IN STEERING WITH A LOUD SNAP NOISE. NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS WHEN LIGHT CHANGED AND I PROCEEDED FORWARD APROX. 2-3FT WHEN CAR CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP JERKING TO THE LEFT. IMMEADIATELY PLACED CAR IN PARK AND LOOKED OUT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW TO SEE FRONT LEFT WHEEL ANGLED BACK APROX 35 DEGREES AND JAMED INTO FENDER WELL. CALLED TOW COMPANY AND POLICE ARRIVED TO DIRECT AND DIVERT TRAFFIC, NO POLICE REPORT MADE BY POLICE BECAUSE NO INJURIES OR OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED. TOW TRUCK DRIVER & POLICE BOTH STATED I WAS FORTUNATE, BECAUSE HAD I BEEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN IT HAPPEND IT COULD BEEN VERY SERIOUS AND/OR FATAL TO NOT ONLY ME BUT OTHERS AS WELL. CAR TOWED TO NEAREST REPAIR SHOP WERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT SUBFRAME ASSEMBLY HAD ACTUALLY RUSTED/ROTTED THROUGH ON LEFT FRONT END OF VEHICLE AND BROKE WITH EVERYTHING ATTACHED TO IT (STEERING LINKAGE, LEFT AXLE, TIE ROD, ETC.) COMING LOOSE. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THERE HAND BEEN A SERVICE BULLETIN 23-012-14 ISSUED FOR FRONT AND REAR CROSSMEMBER CORROSION AND LOOKING AT OTHER FORUMS (IE MYJEEPCOMPASS.COM) AND SAFECAR.GOV AS WELL. CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE GIVEN CASE #34535927.HAD TO PAY TO HAVE CAR TOWED AGAIN, THIS TIME TO A JEEP DEALER TO INSPECT AND CONFIRM SUBFRAME FAILED. WHEN I ASKED WHY THERE WASN'T A RECALL INSTEAD OF JUST A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT NOBODY SEES EXCEPT THE DEALER I COULD NOT GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER. JEEP DID

CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING TANK EVERY TIME. RUNS ROUGH THEN STALLS AND POWER STEERING CUTS OUT, LOCKS UP ON THE ROAD. WHEN RESTARTED IT STALLS AGAIN SEVERAL TIMES. VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY IN A HEAVY TRAFFIC.

OUR 2007 JEEP COMPASS HAS BEEN STALLING COMPLETELY (ENGINE SHUTS OFF) SHORTLY AFTER WE FILL UP THE GAS TANK. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR AROUND ONE YEAR. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE GAS STATION, USUALLY WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF PUMPING THE GAS. WE FEAR FILLING UP THE TANK TO THE TOP BECAUSE THE CAR HAS STALLED IN LANES OF TRAFFIC. IN THE BETTER CASES, IT STALLS AT A RED LIGHT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE WERE ENCOURAGED TO FILE THIS REPORT AFTER CORRESPONDING ONLINE WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCED THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE.

THE CAR STALLS AND CUTS OFF AFTER FILLING THE TANK ALL THE WAY. IF NOT COMPLETELY FULL CAR WORKS.

DEC 2015- MY CAR MECHANIC FOUND ROTTED OUT FRONT END SUB-FRAME/ CROSS MEMBER'. HE KNEW ABOUT A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE SO I WAS ABLE TO GET IT FIXED. ( IMPT PLS NOTE: CHRYSLER HAD NEVER REACHED OUT TO LET ME KNOW ABOUT THIS- EVEN THOUGH WHEN I LOOK UP THE RECALL FOR CORROSION IT'S CLEARLY LISTED ). NOR DID CHRYSLER TELL ME THE REAR CROSS MEMBER WAS ALSO ON RECALL AND WOULD LIKELY BE NEEDED AND SHOULD GET IT DONE BEFORE THE SEPT 2017 END OF WARRANTY. FORWARD TO APRIL 2018 - I DISCOVER REAR CROSS MEMBER SUB FRAME IS BADLY RUSTED OUT. CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SX THEY TELL ME THAT IT'S RECALL WARRANTY RAN OUT SEPT 2017- SO THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR THIS TIME. I FEEL CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR AS THEY DID NOT TELL ME ABOUT REAR END PROBLEM WHEN I COULD HAVE HAD IT FIXED BEFORE THE UNBEKNOWNST TO ME END OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IN SEPT 2017! I SEEK YOUR HELP TO REVIEW MY COMPLAINT AND REQUEST TO OFFER LEGAL REASONS THAT WILL CHRYSLER HONOR THE RECALL WARRANTY. WHICH WAS VALID FOR SALT BELT STATES- LIKE MA WHERE I LIVE. I BELIEVE THE REFERENCE # IS 23-012-14.

CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING TANK ( NOT OVERFILLING ) . RUNS ROUGH THEN STALLS AND POWER STEERING CUTS OUT LOCKS UP ON ROAD.

REAR CROSS BAR AXLE IS DEFECTIVE. THE WHEEL SUSPENSION IS DETERIATED TO THE POINT THAT THE WHEELS PROTRUDE OUWARD FROM THE VEHICLE CAUSING EXTREME WEAR ON THE INSIDE PART OF THE REAR TIRES TO THE POINT OF WIRES ON RADIAL TIRES ARE EXPOSED. THE OUTSIDE PART OF THE TIRES SHOW MINIMUM WEAR. MECHANICS SAY THIS CROSS BAR AXLE IS POOR QUALITY STEEL OR STEEL THAT WASN'T CURED AND FINISHED PROPERLY. THE CROSS BAR AXLE IS LITERALLY ERODING WITH HOLES OCCURRING RIGHT THROUGH THE AXLE ITSELF. FEAR IS THE CAR IS BECOMING TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT FEAR THAT UPON HITTING A BUMP THE REAR WHEELS WILL SPREAD APART AND THE CAR FALL TO THE GROUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND HAD IT TOWED TO WESTBORN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (23300 MICHIGAN AVE, DEARBORN, MI 48124, (877) 295-7806). THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A DEALER BULLETIN FOR THE SWAY BAR AND THE CROSSPINS, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR BRAKE REPAIR SERVICE, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND CORRODED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK ON MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS IT STALLS SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW MILES. I'VE READ THE BLOGS ON THE WEB AND IT APPEARS TO BE A FAILURE OF THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VAVLE. THE ONLY FIX APPARENTLY IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,2000. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND IT HAS STOPPED ON HER IN TRAFFIC TWICE AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. LUCKILY SHE ESCAPED BEING HIT BY AN ONCOMING CAR. THIS IS SO WRONG! THIS IS A DEFECT AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

VEHICLE STALLS OR WILL NOT ACCELERATE, ENGINE RUNS ROUGH, AFTER FILLING UP TANK WITH GASOLINE. PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF DRIVING. CREATES A DANGEROUS AND SAFETY ISSUE. HAPPENS AT EVERY TIME FUEL TANK IS FILLED. THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE. NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE, EMERGENCY BRAKE, FOUR WHEEL DRIVE UNAVAILABLE, AND COLLISION CENTER INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (BOARDWALK JEEP, 1 BAIR ISLAND RD, REDWOOD CITY, CA 94063) STATED THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE TECHNICIAN WAS DIAGNOSING THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS KEPT FROM AUGUST 29, 2017 TO NOVEMBER 4, 2017. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE ENGINE INDICATOR CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

THE VEHICLE HAS A PURGE VALVE OR OTHER ISSUE THAT IS VERY COMMON THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO SHUT OFF AFTER FILLING UP GAS. THIS LEADS TO VEHICLES SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, LOSING CONTROL OF STEERING AND ACCELERATION AS WELL AS OTHER POWERED THINGS, SINCE THE CAR SHUTS OFF.

INITIALLY, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON THE RIGHT STOP WORKING. USED HIGH BEAM FOR AWHILE. TRIED HAVING BULB REPLACED. WORKED FOR A SHORT TIME. NO POWER GETTING TO HEAD LAMP.

K FRAME FRONT AND REAR IS ROTTED. MY CAR WON'T PASS INSPECTION. NEEDS MANIFOLD STYLE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WON'T PASS INSPECTION. CAR STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC EVERY TIME WE REFUEL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL CLUNKING NOISE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE SUBFRAME AND CROSS MEMBER WERE RUSTED.

THE CONTACT CALLED A MANUFACTURER AND WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER TO BE INSPECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 160,000.

ROT TO SUB FRAME THAT IS AFFECTING STEERING CONTROL

ROTTED FRONT SUBFRAME. THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET.

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK THIS VEHICLE WILL STALL. THIS HAPPENS ROUTINELY FOLLOWING A FUEL TANK FILL-UP AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE ARE MANY CONCERNS ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB OF JEEP COMPASS AND PATRIOT OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITHOUT RESOLVE. MANY PEOPLE ARE SUGGESTING THAT THE GAS TANK, CHARCOAL FILTER AND ROLL-OVER VALVE NEED TO BE REPLACED TO RESOLVE, WHICH COMES AT A PRICE OF $2000+ PER VEHICLE. THIS NOTIFICATION OF A PROBLEM IS PROACTIVE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED PRIOR TO BECOMING REACTIVE TO INJURIES OR FATALITIES.

STALLS AFTER FILL UP. WE DO NOT TOP OFF OR OVERFILL THE TANK. EVERYTIME WE FILL THE TANK UP TO THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF, THE ENGINE STALLS WITHIN ABOUT 30 SECONDS. GENERALLY, THE ENGINE WILL STALL IF IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT AFTER FILLUP. THE ENGINE DOES NOT STALL IF THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING ABOVE 25-30 MILES PER HOUR. THE ENGINE STARTS RIGHT BACK UP WITHOUT PROBLEM, BUT WILL CONTINUE TO STALL. AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN A FEW MILES, THE STALLING ISSUE DISAPPEARS ENTIRELY.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND THE LEFT FRONT CROSS MEMBER THAT HAD RUSTED AND WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED FAILED AND FELL ON TO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE.LUCKILY SHE WAS GOING SLOW ENOUGH AND WAS ABLE TO CONTROL VEHICLE TO SAFE STOP. IF SHE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENED IT COULD HAVE KILLED HER AS WELL AS OTHERS.I HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON NOVEMBER 2016 FROM A AUTO SALES COMPANY. AFTER THE FAIL I LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A EXTENDED (10) WARRANTY (IE X58) THAT WARNED OF THIS PROBLEM AND A FIX PROVIDED BY COMPANY. I WAS NEVER TOLD THIS INFORMATION WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND SHOULD HAS BEEN REPAIR BEFORE BEING SOLD TO ANYONE OR AT LEAST INSPECTED. I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER REP THAT THE VEHICLE IS STILL REGISTERED IN CANADA AND THEY HAD NO IDEA THIS CAR WAS IN UNITED STATES SO THE INFORMATION NEVER FOLLOWED THE CAR. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE CAR MAKE WAS IN SEPT OF 2006 EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2007 ON TITLE AND THE WARRANTY GOES BY MAKE DAY SO MY CAR IS 6 MONTHS OUT OF A WARRANTY THAT I DID NOT KNOW EXISTED BECAUSE THE CAR IS STILL REGISTERED IN CANADA. THE INFORMATION THAT THIS VEHICLE FRONT OR REAR SUSPENSION COULD FAIL SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE UTTER MOST CONCERN FOR SAFE BY THE CHRYSLER COMPANY OF CANADA AND NOT A I HOPE YOU GOT OUR LETTER THAT YOUR CAR MY KILL YOU OR YOU FAMILY AT ANYTIME FROM RUST FAILURE IN AROUND 10 YEARS OR SO AND WE KNOW IT !!! AS OF TODAY CHRYSLER HAS NOT MADE A DECISION ON WEATHER OR NOT THEY INTEND TO FIX THIS VEHICLE BUT T

WHEN I PUT GAS IN THE CAR THE FIRST 20 MINTUES THE CAR TURNS OFF WHEN IN MOTION ON ANY STREET BUT ONLY IN THOSE 20 MINTUES. AFTER THE 20 MINTUES THE CAR IS FINE AND IT SAYS IT HAS NO ERRORS AND IT DOESN'T TURN OFF.

MY MACHANIC JUST TOLD ME THE TIPM IS BAD AND NEEDS REPLACED! HE SAID IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER HAS TRIED TO HIDE UNDER THE RUG!!! I GOOGGLED THIS AND YOU GUYS REFUSE TOGET THE ISSE RECALLED! MY AIRBAGS COULD JUST DEPLY THEMSELVES WHILE I'M DRIVING!!! AND YOU NUMBNUTS DON'T FIND THAT ALARMING? I'M AM GOING TO BLAST THIS ALL OVER FACEBOOK...EVERYDAY!!! DO YOUR JOB & GET THIS RECALLED NOW!!! OR YOU WILL SEE ME ON THE NEWS, POINTING MY FINGER AT YOU NHTSA!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN RANDOMLY SOUNDED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE OWNER'S MANUAL INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO FUSE TO CONNECT AND DISCONNECT TO PREVENT THE NOISE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THIS VEHICLE STALLS AFTER FILLING UP TANK, YOU FILL THE TANK AND A COUPLE MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL STALL, THEN IT IS GOOD UNTIL NEXT FILL UP. THIS IS MY WIFES CAR AND IM AFRAID FOR HER SINCE SHE TAKES THE EXPRESS WAY ALL THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL FAILED TO PROVIDE ENOUGH POWER. ADDITIONALLY, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

IT WAS LIKE A GHOST TOOK OVER IT SCARED ME TO DEATH. MY LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, BLINKER CAME ON WOULDN'T GO OFF, WIPERS WERE GOING FULL SPEED AND THE DASH WHERE IT TELLS YOU SOUTH, NORTH, EAST AND WEST STOP WORKING. IT'S SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THIS CAR AND READING THE FORUMS WITH THE SAME ISSUES SHOULD BE A RECALL.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN APRIL 2016. IN JUNE 2016, MY HEADLIGHT STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. IT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF ON IT'S OWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. AFTER ABOUT 6 WEEKS OF THE CAR BEING IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP, DUE TO THE LIGHT WORKING ON IT'S OWN AND THEM NOT HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE I WAS HAVING, THEY FINALLY SEE WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE TIPM FAILED, AND REPLACED IT. FEB 2017, MY WIPERS BEGAN TURNING ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN, OR JUST NOT WORKING AT ALL. THEY WOULD GO ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING, NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF, AND AT TIMES THE SWITCH WOULD NOT EVEN TURN THEM ON WHEN I NEEDED THEM. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY HAVE AGAIN DETERMINED THAT THE TIPM, WHICH IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, HAS AGAIN FAILED. THEY HAVE NOT DETERMINED WHAT IS CAUSING THE CONSISTENT FAILURE OF THE TIPM, AND HAVE HAD IT FOR A WEEK NOW.

DRIVING MY JEEP COMPASS AND THE FRONT END STARTED I THOUGHT IT HAD MY ROCKS UP IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM TOOK A MECHANIC AND HE BLEW EVERYTHING OUT THERE ALL THAT STUFF AND THEN IT STILL CAME BACK MAKING THE THUMPING TALKING NOISE LIKE WHEN YOU TURN TURN YOUR WHEEL TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT OR WHEN YOU BACKUP AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT.

I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND IT WOULD HARDLY MOVE FORWARD, OR PULL AHEAD BACK IN THE DRIVEWAY. HAD IT TOWED TO THE GARAGE AND THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID ITS WIRING AND TRANSMISSION.

CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 23-012-14 FRONT AND REAR CROSS-MEMBER CORROSION . BY WHAT I READ IT SHOULD BE COVERED, BUT DEALERSHIP TOLD THE GIRLFRIEND THAT IT ISN'T ... THIS MEMBER IS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH BUT THEY HAVE STATED IT IS NOT COVERED. THIS ISSUE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE DEATH IF FINAL FAILURE CAUSES A CRASH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

AFTER REFUELING THE CAR LOOSES POWER AND STALLS. LAST WEEK I REFILLED THE CAR AND I STALLED IN TRAFFIC. WHEN IN STALL SITUATION DRIVERS NEED TO BE AWARE THAT STEERING IS DIFFICULT. I THINK THE STALLING IS CAUSED BY FUEL GETTING INTO THE EVAPORATOR CANISTER
