Description of the problem	Today, 4/20/2016, i heard what sounded like metal dragging the ground in my 2011 jeep compass. After parking, i inspected under the car to find a metal pipe hanging down to the ground near the front left tire. I easily pulled the pipe out, and discovered it is the cvt transmission fill tube. It appears the tube rotted off from wherever it belongs. I have found multiple reports of the same thing happening to other jeep models as well, particularly the patriot. While i have yet to determine any detrimental performance effects (it just happened today, and i have yet to drive it again), the tube could have easily dislodged while driving and struck a car behind me, endangering the lives of others. My jeep only has around 40,000 miles, and has been kept up to date on all maintenance requirements. If i hadn't found other jeep owners with the same problem, i would have concluded it was caused by a mechanic during a recent oil change. However, because i have found dozens of other complaints (and also assuming there are others who never even noticed that the tube had rotted off), i feel that the nhtsa should be aware of the issue, and take appropriate action. Thank you.
