2007 jeep compass control arms, right outer tie rod. I was hearing some squeaking when I hit a bump and a little grinding as I pulled up to traffic lights. I took the vehicle into get an oil change and asked for the mechanic to check it out. I was told the vehicle is unsafe to drive due to total failure of the control arms. Cost to fix: over $1000. With the control arms being such a common issue with this vehicle, jeep should really consider issuing a recall.
