2012 Jeep Compass owner complaints

The transmission dipstick tube broke off. When I parked the vehicle I noticed the part on the floor at my home. Don't know when it may have broken.

My Jeep has start to put off the smell of rotten eggs. I believe that the catalyst converter has some kind off issue. There are fumes coming out of my car and in my car. I believe it is a result of a bad catalyst converter. Engine light has been coming on after I have changed the sensors. There is no way the catalyst should be bad. I read there are issues with this model vehicles catalyst converter. This has been on going for over a year and a half and I have been replacing parts spending money that are not fixing the problem

2012 Jeep compass check ball issue I have a 2012 Jeep compass with 59,000 miles on it. During a fuel stop two weeks ago, I discovered the nozzle would shut off after fueling for a few seconds. To ensure it wasn't the nozzle at the fuel pump, I tried 3 other pumps at different gas stations. So, I took the vehicle in to the dealership to get a diagnosis. The mechanic said the check ball valve in the fuel tank is stuck and the only way to have this issue repaired is to replace the entire fuel tank. The total cost with the new fuel tank and labor will be $1,600. Just to have a second opinion, I took it to a well respected local mechanic in my town and he told me the same thing. I know the smaller jeeps, like the compass, have had fuel tank recalls in the past because of ventilation issu

I bought the vehicle about 3 years ago and about one month into the purchase, the engine light has been steady on and off for the last 3 years. We have brought it to a dealer, we have had the vehicle pass inspections, once the car is reset the engine light goes off. The code that has consistently come up is the catalytic converter, which we were told numerous occasions that it's just a glitch. Now, the light will not go off after a reset and are being told that we need to replace the whole catalytic converter (which I can not afford) and don't even know if it's a true issue being since the engine light constantly being on since the purchase of the vehicle and now won't go off at all. I'm wondering why this car/VIN hasn't showed up on the recall list with the others with the catalytic conve

Unable to fuel vehicle. Gasoline refuel stops after 1/4 gallon is pumped. Gas sprays back on person filling if you are not expecting the splash. Jeep indicates that this vehicle is not covered under recall m11, as it was built on feb 1, 2012 and the window for recall was december 20, 2011 through january 5, 2012. According to the VIN, my vehicle is within 200 vehicles of the recall. Jeep is replacing my gas tank as a cost of over $1500.

Unable to refuel vehicle. Regardless of gas station or pump, you can only pump about 0.2 gallons of gas before pump shuts off.

A month or so after buying my car (used) it started to struggle going up hill. As time went on the struggle uphill turned into stalling. Then it progressed to extreme difficulty getting up to speed when just getting on the freeway. Soon it started to over heat if driven longer than an hour. With all of the issues put together it ha become very stressful and scary to drive. We took it into the mechanic and he discovered the smooth transition transmission is faulty and causes the car to overheat. He said it was a matter of time until the transmission drops. I no longer feel safe taking my family anywhere in the car. Between the sluggishness, stalling, overheating and transmission my car is a ticking time bomb. If any of this happens on the freeway my family and possibly others could get seve

Driving on the turnpike 11/10/2016 at 530am nearing ext. 6 my truck shut off, I made it to the car shop and they stated it was the sensors. I proceeded to call the Jeep dealer and they stated senors are not covered in any warranty and that my extended warranty does cover it as well. Im very disappointed in the pointless purchase of my warranty, and the fact that I could have been killed on the turnpike. Also my truck makes this loud squeaking noise but I have taken it to 3 shops and no one knows what it is, but they all agreed it is not the brakes.
