ACCORDING TO TECHS AT DODGE DEALERSHIP BOT FRONT ANTI LOCK BRAKE SENSORS ARE BAD. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY DRIVEN ON PAVED ROADS. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 27203 MILES ON IT. LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND GOING OFF FOR A MONTH. IT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW 2 SENSORS COULD GO BAD AT THE SAME TIME UNLESS THE SENSORS ARE OF POOR QUALITY. THESE SENSORS ARE ORIGINAL SENSORS. SAFETY EQUIPMENT SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECT TO COST SAVINGS. THIS VEHICLE IS WELL WITHIN THE MILEAGE FOR WARRANTY AND ONLY TWO MONTHS OUT OF TIME WARRANTY. HOW DO 2 SENSORS GO BAD AT ONCE? RESEARCHING THESE PROBLEMS ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP.

I CAME DOWN A HILL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, STREET THEN BECAME LEVEL AND I CAME TO STOP SIGN, I STOPPED AND MY ENGINE DIED AND MY EMERGENCY BRAKE CAME ON. I HAD TO REMOVE FOOT FROM BRAKE, PUT BACK ON BRAKE, RESTART ENGINE AND THEN I COULD DISENGAGE EMERGENCY BRAKE. DEALER IS TELLING ME THIS BECAUSE IT WAS LOW ON OIL. BUT I WASN'T EVEN DUE FOR A FEW HUNDRED MILES FOR AN OIL CHANGE.

BRAKES HAVE A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE WHEN I STOP, I WAS TOLD IT WAS ABS SYSTEM, I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR OR LOANER THAT MADE SUCH A SCAREY NOISE. IT HAS BEEN WORKED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS BRAKE CHANGES, ROTARS, SANDING DOWN ETC. STILL DIES IT

MY CAR EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT BUTTON HAS TURNED ON ALL BYITSELF WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE CAR STOPS AND SHUTS OFF. THEN I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND I HAVE TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK, PRESS THE PULL ON P BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. A CAR BEHIND CAN CRASH INTO ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE FEBRUARY, THIS MORNING WAS MY 6 TIME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR ANYMORE, AFRAID OF TURNING OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING

THE BRAKES ON THE COMPASS ARE VERY SENSITIVE. WHILE DRIVING OR FROM A COLD START, APPLYING THE BRAKES AT SLOW SPEEDS WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LURCH TO AN ALMOST EMERGENCY STOP. I OWN 4 VEHICLES AND NONE OF THE OTHER CARS HAVE BRAKES AS TOUCHY AS THESE. MY FAMILY REFUSES TO DRIVE THE COMPASS BECAUSE OF THE BRAKE ISSUE. THE DEALER TELLS ME THERE IS NO RECALL OR TSB ON THIS ISSUE.
