VERY HOT DAY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. DRIVING NORTH OF I-15 FREEWAY. FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I OWNED THE CAR (ORIGINAL OWNER) I PLACED THE A/C BLOWER CONTROL SWITH IN POSITION 4 (MAX POSITION). AFTER A FEW SECONDS SMOKE BEGAN TO BILLOW OUT OF THE OPENING OF THE BLOWER CONTROL KNOB.

FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON COMPLAINTS OF THE ENTIRE JEEP COMPASS LINE AND IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. MY JEEP COMPASS 2010 STALLS RANDOMLY WHEN I DRIVE AND IS A MAJOR HAZARD. 2 MECHANICS INCLUDING A LOCAL DEALER ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM (WHICH IS A COMMON THEME IN ALL OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE JEEP COMPASS). IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES WITH ME (ANOTHER COMMON THEME) AND IT MAY EVENTUALLY TAKE A DEATH FOR IT TO BE ON THE RADAR FOR AN ACTUAL REC

THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINS ON AND IT CHIMES.

my front and rear sub-frame rotted out, making my vehicle dangerous to drive for me my family and other passengers that ride in my vehicle,it is also a danger to other vehicles and persons on the road. Chrysler knows of this problem with 2010 jeep compass but has never issued a safety recall, it seems only fair that Chrysler should held responsible to recall this vehicle since they used cheap parts knowing they would not hold up in states with heavy winters and the use of salt on roadways.

EVERY TIME I FILL MY JEEP UP IT STARTS JERKING THEN COMPLETELY QUITS. I RESTART MY JEEP AND START TO PULL OUT ONTO THE STREET AND/OR HIGHWAY IT STILL JERKS FOR THE FIRST FEW SECONDS THEN QUITS. I HAD A ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND HAD TO REPLACE THE CANISTER COSTING ME $248.00 NOT COUNTING LABOR COST. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUES FOR THE LAST SEVEN MONTHS TO DATE, THE JERKING AND SHUTTING OFF OF MY JEEP

ABS LIGHT TURNED ON AND STAYED ON. I HAVE A JEEP COMPASS 2010 AND DURING THE FIRST 28,000 MILES THE ABS LIGHT TURNED ON. TALKING WITH SEVERAL OWNERS OF JEEP COMPASS AND DODGE CALIBER NOTICED THAT THOSE GUYS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. CURRENTLY MY COMPASS HAS 42,000 MILES AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THIS A RECALL FOR WARRANTY OR REPAIR BY THE WARRANTY OR I HAVE HAS TO PAY FOR THIS. *TR
