6.9% of complaints about the 2015 Jeep Compass came in the first year, which is unremarkable for a 2015 vehicle — around the middle of the 195 model-years on record. The median complaint arrives at 5.9 yr in service. The most-reported system is engine (30 complaints), typically at 5.3 yr or about 53,000 miles.
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015 Jeep Compass and Patriot vehicles manufactured January 1, 2015, to May 11, 2015. During assembly, the power steering hose retention clamp may have been installed at an incorrect location, resulting in the detachment of the low pressure return hose.
If the power steering fluid return hose detaches, it would leak fluid and increase the risk of a fire.
WE PURCHASED THE JEEP COMPASS ON 11/15/14. WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. WE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES BETWEEN 11/15/14 AND 12/12/14. ON 12/12, THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG. WITHIN ANOTHER WEEK, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING BACK ON AGAIN. WE HAVE REPORTED IT AGAIN AND TOOK IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE LAST TIME THAT THERE WAS NO ONE THERE THAT KNEW HOW TO FIX IT. WE REALLY LOVE THE JEEP, BUT ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING A CAR WITH AIRBAG ISSUES AND WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED QUICKLY. *TR
