| Description of the problem | It starts with the steering wheel is loose and at first we had no idea what was going on. This issue i have with my jeep compass 4x2 year 2011, is the same exact recall on the jeep wrangler stated below: i called chrysler group llc, 800-247-9753 today sept. 14 2014. I spoke with the recall dept. They said the compass, at this time does not have this recall. Only the wrangler below, which has the same exact issue as i do. So, i have to tow truck my jeep tomorrow morning, to my local jeep dealership, service dept and pay out of pocket. Chrysler recall dept said keep my receipts if more ppl complain then there may be a recall just like the wrangler has below. This is exactly what happened to me>>>>> but this is wrangler, not my jeep compass. Per the wrangler recall solution: (wranglers with 3. 6-liter v-6 engines, chrysler says a power steering fluid line can wear a hole in the transmission oil cooler line. The suvs can leak fluid, damaging automatic transmissions. Dealers will inspect the lines for free and replace them or install a protective sleeve. The recall begins in july 2013.) it's also recalling 221,000 jeep wranglers worldwide from 2012 and 2013 to fix transmission fluid leaks, according to documents posted thursday on the national highway traffic safety administration website. I am frustrated because my 3 year warranty just ended last month aug. 2014. I researched on the internet and read a lot of other people encountering the same issue. |
