We received a recall notice in october of 2016 and the remedy for these issues are still not available.
Computer ECM fails tractions light on etc.
I received a recall for a defective seat belt and air bag assembly in my 2012 jeep compass weeks ago. Because this vehicle is used in a fleet capacity, I pulled it from service immediately. I talked to dodge and was told there is no remedy at this time. I then asked for a loaner vehicle until my vehicle was safe to drive and was told that dodge doesn't have a rental program for recalls. I don't know how this manufacture doesn't have a plan to rectify an inconvenience that their customers have to go through regarding a problem that wasn't the customers fault to begin with. I'm very unhappy dodge treats customers like this.

The vehicles may experience loss of air bag and seat belt pretensioner deployment capability in certain crash events due to a shorting condition resulting in a negative voltage transient that travels to the occupant restraint controller via the front impact sensor wires. There is currently no fix for the recall and the notice was sent out in october. It is unacceptable to take this long, I don't feel safe driving.

I purchased the jeep febuary 28th 2013, from orr honda texarkana tx. I was not informed the vehicle had any problems or recalls at that time. Within a couple days of having the vehicle I noticed the seat belts would spontaneously unlock and open. I also noticed that the vehicle seemed to have an acceleration problem it was sluggish and sounded like it was not changing gears. When I was stopped to make a turn and began to turn the car stalled on me in the middle of the intersection and quit, it started back and I was able to get out of harms way. Although I have had it at the dealership for the recalls and the problems I described over five times a total of 2 full months combined and was told the recall issues were resolved I picked it up on 3/15/14 from the dealership and drove it home, it died on me while driving, I was able to get it to the side of the street and sat there until it started again, I got it home got up to go to work the next morning and although all lights and alarms are working it only clicks when u try to start it. It will start up immediately with a boost. I have not and will not drive it due to the stalling and dying while driving. I am a pediatric home nurse and I transport disabled children so not only is my life in danger with this vehicle so are the lives of the disabled children I care for during my job. During the months it was in and out of the shop I missed so many work days I had to give up my position and start a different position due to the lack of reliability of this vehicle. I do not want the vehicle anymore nor will I ever trust it again! At this point I am paying over $600 a month for payment and insurance on a vehicle that is not safe to drive. I have nearly a 19,000 debt on this vehicle and it has been nothing but a nightmare.
While driving at 70 MPH on I 90, I adjusted my posture, slightly elevating my hips and leaning back against the seatback, whereupon the seatback suddenly collapsed backward, leaving me looking at the ceiling. Fortunately I was virtually alone on the road and was able to quickly recover my upright position without loss of control. I stopped and examined the seatback adjustment and discovered that the seatbelt had intruded between the seat and the adjustment lever in such a way that my upward motion disengaged the lever so that my backward pressure allowed the seat to recline.
