2007 Jeep Compass complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK AN UNUSUALLY LONG TIME TO FILL UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED THE 2007 JEEP WITH LOW MILEAGE FOR MY CHILD'S FIRST CAR. UPON THE FIRST REFUEL THE CAR HAS EXPERIENCED STALLING WITHIN A HAL MILE OF REFUELING. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, AS WELL AS TO THE NEIGHBORNING JEEP DEALER. TIME AFTER TIME I WAS ADVISED THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. TODAY UPON REFUELING THE CAR STALLED UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION AGAIN. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS AND RESEARCH ONLINE THAT I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN A RECALL HAD NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. THE STALLING OCCURS AT A DIFFERENT TIME LEAVING NO GAS STATION, AT THE FIRST MOMENT OF IDLING, AFTER TRAVELING A SHORT DISTANCE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANY DRIVER ALTHOUGH EXTREMELY SO FOR A NEWLY LICENSED DRIVER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GO AROUND ANOTHER DRIVER, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WAS STUCK TO THE FLOORBOARD. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE SPEED INCREASED TO 90 MPH IN A 40 SPEED ZONE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

GAS TANK WILL NOT TAKE FUEL. WHEN FILLING IT WILL ONLY TAKE ABOUT 0.3 GALLONS BEFORE STOPPING OR SPRAYING OUT. MECHANIC SAID IT MIGHT BE VENTILATION SYSTEM.

I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT AND BACK SUSPENSION. I BOUGHT THIS USED, AND I THINK I WAS NOT GIVEN THE PROPER INFORMATION REGARDING THE CAR.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR CUTTING OFF, ESPECIALLY WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT ON LOCAL ROADWAYS. IF IT DOESN'T COMPLETELY SHUT OFF THE SENSATION TO CUT OFF IS DEFINITELY FELT. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE SPARK PLUGS AND HAD THOSE REPLACED, HOWEVER, THE SITUATION CONTINUES TO PERSIST. I HAVE BEEN TOLD ON ONE OR MORE OCCASIONS IT MAY BE THE FUEL PUMP. I WAS RECOMMENDED I TAKE MY VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE OTHER ISSUE THAT IS ALSO VERY PRONOUNCED IS THE NOISE MY ENGINE MAKES WHILE IDLING. IT CAN BEST DESCRIBED AS A LOUD WHIRLING SOUND BUT NOT QUITE A RATTLE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD MY CAR SOUND SO NOISY. I HAVE NOTICED PERHAPS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON INVOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ME ENGAGING THEIR USE. I HAVE SEARCHED JEEP'S WEBSITE REGARDING ANY RECALL INFORMATION ON THESE AFOREMENTIONED ISSUES BUT TO NO AVAIL.

AFTER FILLING UP VEHICLE IT STALLS OUT WITHIN TWO MILES IT HAPPENS AFTER EVERY FILL UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE AND PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL ODOR EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL CAP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED AND A TUNE UP WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED TO SHIFT GEARS AND WAS JERKING AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ON 6/30/13. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OXYGEN SENSORS AND THE O2 HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER ON 1/14/16 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,483.

WHENEVER THE GAS TANK IS FILLED UP, UPON DRIVING 1-2 MILES AWAY FROM GAS STATION ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANY ROAD, THE ENGINE SPUTTERS AND STALLS. TODAY THE ENTIRE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND LOCKED UP. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE TIME.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK VIA GAS PUMP AUTO SHUT OFF, THE CAR WILL STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED THE LAST TWO FILL UPS. THE CAR HAS 92389 MILES ON IT. THE FIRST TIME, IT STALLED AFTER STARTING THEN AGAIN AFTER ENTERING HIGHWAY GOING UP HILL WITH LOADED DUMP TRUCK RIGHT BEHIND ME. HE BARELY MISSED HITTING ME FROM BEHIND. PLUS CAR LOOSES POWER STEERING. 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS NEXT TANK FILL UP AND STALLED BEFORE LEAVING GAS STATION. AFRAID TO DRIVE AND HAVE PARKED CAR. ROLL OVER VALVE IS NOT WORKING (STUCK OPEN?). IF CAR WAS IN ROLL OVER ACCIDENT, FIRE COULD RESULT FROM SPILLING FUEL. AFRAID WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF PULLING ONTO HIGHWAY FROM RAMP AND STALL IN FRONT OF 18 WHEELER.

SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE STALLS AND UPON RESTART RUNS ROUGH FOR SHORT TIME. WE HAD ONE INCIDENT WHERE A FUEL LEAK DEVELOPED AFTER REFUELING. THE STALLING ISSUE HAS ALMOST CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BE STRUCK AND CLEARLY HAS CAUSED A CONTROL ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLES ENGINE LOSES POWER SHUTS DOWN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED AND NO CODES WERE TRIGGERED OR STORED. THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T SEEM INTERESTED IN ADDRESSING MY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE REJECTS FUEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

1. FUEL PUMP STARTED ARCHING AND NOZZLE TO HOSE WAS COMING LOOSE-SMELT GAS WHILE IN MOTION, GAS GAUGE STARTED DROPPING DRAMATICALLY 2. HORN STOPPED WORKING-WHILE DRIVING I TRIED TO WARN ANOTHER VEHICLE WHO WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT WHILE I WAS BEHIND THEM, LUCKILY THEY HEARD ME YELLING 3. BACK WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED WORKING WHILE IN MOTION TRYING TO BACK OUT IN THE RAIN 4. STRUTS WENT 5. ROTORS WENT 6. CROSS MEMBER-NOTICED WHILE DRIVING AND TOOK 2 WEEKS BEFORE DEALERSHIP COULD GET MY APPOINTMENT RIGHT TO GET IT TAKEN CARE OF SINCE IT WAS RECALLED 7. TIPM IS GOING. LOST POWER TO 2/2 OUTLETS IN THE VEHICLE. 8. CV AXLE IS GOING. SOUNDS REALLY BAD AND SOUNDS LIKE BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. TREATED THIS VEHICLE WITH LOTS OF CARE AND SO DID PREVIOUS OWNER. THIS TELLS ME THIS IS NOT A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND A SAFE VEHICLE I CAN DRIVE MY DAUGHTER IN.

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL IN REGARDS TO AN IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE SO I WENT TO DIFFERENT DEALERS TO TRY TO GET IT FIXED BUT NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO SEE ME TO FIX THE ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD UNTIL MARCH 2016 THERE WOULD BE MORE PARTS COMING IN AND TO COME BACK DURING THAT TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS LIQUID ON BOTH FRONT FLOORBOARDS OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO MERGE INTO THE LANE AND CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

THE FAILURE WITH THE BRAKES RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. UPDATED 02/12/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT LAST LONG. DEPRESSING THE BRAKE AT A CERTAIN SPOT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF, AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MAINTAIN IMPORTANT FLUIDS. *JS

MY WIFE SAYS THAT AS SHE APPROACHED A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET THE VEHICLE HAD TROUBLE STOPPING AND THAT IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT WHEEL WAS GOING TO COME OFF THE CAR. WHEN I LOOKED AT IT I NOTICED A TON OF CORROSION ON THE FRONT CROSS-MEMBER AND SUB-FRAME AND ONE SIDE HAD COMPLETELY SPLIT APART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ACCELERATION FAILURE. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. IT WAS ALSO DIFFICULT TO VIEW THE ODOMETER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS A RECURRING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO FIND A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000. IN ADDITION, ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2013, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STALLED, BUT WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS A RECURRING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE CONTROL ARM AND BUSHING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 153,000.

AFTER REFUELING, VEHICLE STARTS UP AND DRIVES AS NORMAL FOR A SHORT TIME UNTIL REACHING THE FIRST STOP OR STOPLIGHT, AT WHICH POINT THE ENGINE RETURNS TO IDLE. THE ENGINE WILL BEGIN TO SPUTTER/WEAKEN (FULL FOOT ON THE GAS BUT REACTS AS IF IT IS ONLY DOWN 1/4 OF THE WAY), THE OIL LIGHT TURNS ON, AND THEN SUBSEQUENTLY DIES WHILE STILL IN DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE THIS FIRST OCCURRED ON JAN. 31, 2015. EVERY TIME IT OCCURS, IT IS IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING, DESPITE USING DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND BRANDS. FIRST EVEN OCCURRED WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT FROM A LIGHT INTO ANOTHER PARKING LOT. (SPUTTER, THEN DIED) ANOTHER EVENT WAS WHILE I WAS IDLING AT A RED LIGHT. (ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED) THE MOST RECENT EVENT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING 45 MPH DOWN THE ROAD, AND IT BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND WEAKEN AFTER THEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, UPON WHICH I PULLED THE CAR OVER IN THE ROAD, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS IF I HAD BEEN ON A HIGHWAY.

MY VEHICLE STARTED LOSING POWER INTERMITTENTLY. IT WOULD REMAIN RUNNING, BUT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT WOULD FLASH. AT FIRST, THIS WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, SOLVED BY PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT. EVENTUALLY, THIS BECAME AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE, UNTIL EVENTUALLY, THE CAR WOULD NOT EVEN START DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY, WHICH SOLVED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL RECALLS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR MY YEAR AND MAKE AND MODEL, BUT THE DATABASE STATES THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AS I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES IN FAST-MOVING TRAFFIC ON NARROW SHOULDERS.

THE CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN VERMONT IN TORRANCE EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE CURB. EARLIER THAT WEEK ON SUNDAY AUG 26, 2015 I HAD TO HAVE MY BATTERY JUMPED BY AAA. INSTEAD OF DRIVING AROUND I LET THE CAR RUN FOR HALF AN HOUR. I REVVED THE ENGINE AND THE RPM STOPPED WORKING ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON. I STARTED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY AND IT HAD CLUNKING SOUNDS WHILE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS WHICH DISAPPEARED UPON DRIVING FREEWAY SPEEDS. UPON TRYING TO PARK THE CAR AT WORK IT JERKED WHILE IN REVERSE. I DROVE THE CAR THE NEXT FEW DAYS UNTIL IT FAILED ON AUG 31ST WHILE DRIVING HOME ON VERMONT. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE SCOTT ROBINSON CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN TORRANCE, CA. TESTING THERE REVEALED THE CAR NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION AT ONLY 70,000 MILES. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT DUE TO ANY FAULT OF MINE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A AAA APPROVED REPAIR FACILITY TO GET A SECOND OPINION AND AM WAITING TO SEE IF THE CAR REPAIRS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT'S FORTUNATE THE CAR DIDN'T FAIL ON THE FREEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE BALL JOINT AXLE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2008, IT IS A 2007 JEEP ( 2014 OR AROUND). WE HAD TIRES WEARING OUT, AND TOOK IT IN FOR ALIGNMENT AND SPENT AROUND $200 TO FIX TIE RODS AND ALIGNMENT. ABOUT A YEAR LATER WENT IN FOR OIL CHANGE TO DEALER AND THEY SAID MY ARM CONTROL IN FRONT OF CAR ( 2) NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I GET FROM READING ON LINE AND JUST THAT THEY KNEW THAT THIS WAS A POSSIBLE PROBLEM, THAT THIS WAS A COMMON THING. SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I AM WRITING THIS TO TRY AND GET THIS AS A RECALL, I PAID THE ALMOST $1.000 TO FIX ( MY DAUGHTER, WE SHARE CAR) BUT COULD YOU LOOK INTO THIS AND SEE IF IT IS OCCURRING MORE THEN NORMAL ( ODDS ARE IT IS) AND WHAT THE WEAKNESS IS IN THE CONTROL ARMS, AND BECAUSE IT CAN SO AFFECT ONES ABILITY TO CONTROL CAR, HAS TO BE PUT ON A RECALL. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *JB

I DROVE FOR SEVERAL HOURS WHEN MY CAR STARTED SLIDING TO THE SIDE. I STOPPED TO CHECK AND BOTH MY BACK TIRES WERE ANGLED INWARD AND COMPLETELY RUINED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC FOR ALIGNMENT, BUT HE COULD NOT MOVE THE PARTS DUE TO AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF RUST. HE MENTIONED THAT THE WHOLE SUBFRAME AND ARMS HAD HEAVY CORROSION AND WHOLE AND THE PIECES COULD BREAK ANYTIME SOON AND I SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING THE CAR. AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IS APPLICABLE TO THE K FRAME FOR THE MODEL OF MY CAR BUT JEEP WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY ON MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE. I HAVEN'T DROVE THE CAR SINCE.

APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS AGO THE HORN ON MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS BEGAN SOUNDING AT RANDOM. IT WAS DISCONNECTED AND IN 2014 IT WAS TAKEN TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP (ATLANTIC AUTO GROUP, NORTHFIELD NJ). I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE HORN PAD AND THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART. A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND WOULD BE IN AT THE END OF JANUARY. FROM THERE I WAS CONTINUOUSLY TOLD IT WAS ON BACK ORDER UNTIL NOW JUNE 12TH 2015 WHEN I WAS TOLD THERE ARE OVER 30,000 ON BACK ORDER AND ESTIMATED SHIP TIME IN AUGUST 23RD 2015 (AS PER ATLANTIC AUTO). NEEDLESS TO SAY I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO TOLD ME THEY ARE SWITCHING MANUFACTURERS AND DO NOT HAVE ANY TIMELINE AS TO WHEN THIS PART WILL BE IN. I CURRENTLY STILL DO NOT HAVE A HORN AND HAVE BEEN OFFERED NO HELP IN THE MATTER OTHER THAN LOOKING IN A SALVAGE YARD FOR ANOTHER ONE. I DRIVE AROUND WITH 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN MY CAR EVERYDAY AND I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THIS SITUATION IS BEING HANDLED ESPECIALLY SINCE IT SEEMS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE (30,000 ON BACK ORDER) !!

I WAS DRIVING INTO THE PARKING LOT AT WALMART AND THE CAR ACTUALLY TURNED ITSELF OFF. I COASTED INTO THE PARKING SPOT AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. I TURNED THE IGNITION AGAIN AND THE CAR TURNED ON AND THEN TURNED BACK OFF. I CALL AAA AND THEY TOWED THE CAR TO NTB. THEY HOOKED THE CAR UP AND STATED THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THEY STARTED THE CAR AND IT STARTED FINE. AFTER I LEFT, I GOT MAYBE 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. I CALLED NTB AND THEY WERE ICE ENOUGH TO COME TO WHERE I WAS. THEY WERE ABLE TO START THE CAR; HOWEVER, AS SOON AS HE BACKED UP TO TURN AROUND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. HE TOLD ME TO LEAVE THE CAR, BUT IT'S HARD TO DO THAT WHEN THEY THEMSELVES DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG AND HAVE NO CLUE AS TO THE COST. WE SAT FOR 10 MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. I DROVE HOME WITH NO MORE INCIDENTS. FOR THE NEXT 4 DAYS NOTHING HAPPENED. ON THE 5TH DAY, IN TRAFFIC ON 459N WHICH IS HEAVY AND CRAZY, THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF AGAIN ALMOST CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME, WHO WAS TOO CLOSE ANYWAY, TO HIT ME. I PULLED OVER AND HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME WHERE IT'S SITTING NOW. I HAVE GONE OUT TO CRANK IT AND IT TURNS OVER, BUT I'M NOT DRIVING IT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT THIS SATURDAY TO TAKE IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP ON GRANTS MILLS WAY TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIND EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG WIT THIS DEATHTRAP. AFTER LOOKING AT FORUMS ONLINE, THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. IT'S NOT JUST ME. *TR
