| Description of the problem | I bought my 2007 jeep compass brand new. I never off-road and i try to drive cautiously avoiding pot holes. I was hearing this weird noise and brought it in to a dealership today. They told me i need to replace the lower control arm costing me several hundred dollars. After searching on the web and seeing all the similar complaints i am convinced this should be a recall. Jeep needs to do something this is not right. This is a repair that should not be needed on such new vehicles. |
