STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

On 6 occasions in varying driving conditions โ€œService AEB System Immediatelyโ€ message and warning lights has appeared on instrument cluster. When this occurs all safety features are also disengaged. Furthermore, on a different occasion the vehicle was parked for 4 hours and after starting the vehicle I received a โ€œPower Steering Overheatโ€ message and warning light on the instrument cluster. Due to this the steering also became stiff. Finally, on 4 occasions now a โ€œParking Light Outโ€ message has appeared on the instrument cluster. When exiting the vehicle it is observed that the DRL in the passenger headlight will frequently turn off during operation and just go black. Then after restarting the vehicle will come back on. This vehicle has already been in service twice (and is going in a 3rd time this week) for these issues and have shown no signs of resolution. I am seriously wanting to lemon law this vehicle at this point as it does not feel safe to operate with the many electrical faults.

LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

I purchased a brand new 2025 Jeep Compass Latitude, and shortly after, I started getting repeated error messages for several safety features, lane departure unavailable, blind spot monitoring unavailable, auto high beam unavailable, and automatic emergency braking unavailable. These warnings appear randomly: sometimes as soon as I start driving, other times 5โ€“10 minutes later, or even after 30 minutes to an hour of driving. Thereโ€™s no consistent pattern, and when they activate, all the affected systems stop functioning until I restart the vehicle. Iโ€™ve taken the vehicle to the dealership three times for this issue. The first time, I was told there was nothing they could do because no active code showed at that moment. The second time, they said they couldnโ€™t look at it because they had no loaner available. The third time, I left it for nearly two weeks. They said they test-drove it, the error never came on, and that Jeep engineers have acknowledged this is a known issue with some Jeep and Dodge models. I was told there may eventually be a recall or software update, possibly within a year, but no fix is available right now. I donโ€™t feel safe driving a new vehicle with unreliable safety features that turn off unexpectedly and canโ€™t be repaired. I rely on these systems for highway and night driving, and itโ€™s unsettling that the dealer and manufacturer both admit to an issue but expect me to continue driving and just wait for a future update.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

I have this 2025 jeep compass and while driving in highway Iโ€™m getting the Auto emergency brake is unavailable notification in my cluster window and iโ€™m unable to turn it on. Tried to service multiple times but no fix has been found. I have all the documents handy with the video showing the issue duplicated and still no response from The manufacturer and dealership. Itโ€™s a serious safety hazard for me and my family to drive this vehicle in highway. Now the dealership is refusing to provide anymore repairs on this vehicle for this issue and still it remain unfixed. Need help to fix this issue or investigate on this issue.

SUSPENSION,STRUCTURE,WHEELS

Accident On [XXX] at [XXX], I headed out of the Timberlane Estates neighborhood to go to volunteer at the NWR in Crystal River and was behind 3 other cars going out of the same neighborhood. As I started to turn from [XXX] (25 mph) to [XXX] (decelerating to about 10), I had to fight the steering wheel trying to straighten it out but instead the car continued left and hit a car at the stop sign. This shook me up quit a bit. When I got out, the driver of the hit car and I traded information. We both have State Farm Insurance. Called State Farm to report the incident and took pictures of the front of both cars and of the skid marks. Called my husband and as we waited for the tow truck, we realized that the CV joint (?lower all joint) was totally out, which also caused the tire to flatten as well. We realized from the skid marks that this occurred as I was starting my turn. Thatโ€™s why I lost control. There were no injuries, though I was shook up thru the next day and sore in my right wrist, shoulder and neck. Car went to Jim Hudson Collision Center Crystal River, FL. Car was inspected by them and the State Farm Insurance adjuster. The attached photos are from the Hudson Collision Center. I have a few taken at the accident site if you want them too.

AIR BAGS

The defective part is: the air bag under the steering column or in that area, on the driver's side. Date of accident: [XXX] --There is a police report but I don't have it yet. Report number [XXX] I hit a parked car in the middle of the road after turning a corner on [XXX] .. This info may be relevant for speed questions, I think around ten MPH. The airbag deployed and became detached from the vehicle, hitting my lower legs causing a severe wound in my left lower leg. I was in the hospital for five days and had plastic surgery to repair a deep wound. After the collision, I got out of the car. I got back in to retrieve my purse and noticed that airbag was laying on the floor under the steering column attached to a large black nut detached from the vehicle. Reports and inspections: --Avis Corporation owned the vehicle, I assume they inspected the damage to the vehicle after the accident. The Liability Insurance Certificate name is Aon Risk Services, Inc. in the state of Florida --Tetra Tech was my employer and insurer of the vehicle and myself, I'm sure they inspected the vehicle --Sedgwick manages claims for Safety National Casualty Corporation on behalf of Tetra Tech, Inc.. I'm sure a Sedgwick representative is aware of the vehicle condition and inspection. --I do not have knowledge about the extent or focus of their investigations.

My [XXX] mother (JEEP enthusiast) bought a 2025 JEEP Compass. One week after she bought it the RPM light started flashing. The dealer stated the main computer (electrical system) completely failed. There is no stability in the car. There's no braking system, no power steering, no cruise control, no nothing, the seat moves without her adjusting it, the automatic dimmer switch turns on without user intervention - the JEEP is a complete lemon. It is UNSAFE to drive. It's like an octopus without a head. They said they'd buy it back from her for $14,000 LESS than she paid - a week ago. The part is on back order. She recently moved interstate and is forced to between states - 5 hours each way. I am beyond livid. She's been a lifelong JEEP owner who has been treated horribly by this company. What is the recourse??? She bought it [XXX] and has 4,000 miles on it. What can we do? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
