Attached is a work order request for a defective door handle on my Jeep Compass. The driver side door handle we have determined is wrapped in metal and is delaminating. It has caused a hand injury to my daughter due to the wrapping on the door handle coming apart and being extremely sharp. We have taken the car to our local dealer for inspection and they have verified that this is not normal and we believe the part is defective. Additionally, the passenger side handle is starting to do the same.

HELLO, 3/4/2015 MY BROTHER BOUGHT A 2013 JEEP COMPASS ON HIS BIRTHDAY OF THE SAME YEAR. OVER THE LAST FEW (4-6) MONTHS, WE HAVE CUT OUR FINGERS, REPEATEDLY ON THE CHROME COVERING THE DOORS HANDLES. WE ARE NOT TALKING PAPER CUTS NOR ARE WE DESCRIBING EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS, WE ARE DESCRIBING A VERY DEEP AND OPEN SLICE, MOSTLY TO THE NERVES OF OUR FINGER TIPS, CAUSING ME TO MISS WORK. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE A COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEM (HIV) & MY BODIES ABILITY TO REPAIR AND HEAL IS MUCH LONGER TH

DANGEROUSLY DROPPING INTO LIMP MODE WITHOUT WARNING OR ABILITY TO OVERRIDE FOR SAFETY. EARLY FULL SYSTEM TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITHOUT NO OPTIONS FOR REPAIR. FINALLY DIED BY MAKING WHINING NOISE, GOING INTO LIMP MODE AND STAYING THERE. THE EXCESSIVE COST OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION MAKES IT NOT COST EFFECTIVE. ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE ALTOGETHER.

Jeep first issues was at 89k, not shifting. Second issues was at100k transmission over heated. Dealer/ warranty had me changed the fluid and filter for transmission. Third issue, 130k transmission made a whining noise and stopped. Jeep was towed to the shop. After doing some research, turns out that the transmission on several these Jeep’s have same issue. The transmission should be on manufactured recall.
