My jeep is currently back at the dealership for the second time because the ESC turns off/on own its own. The first time this happened, the ABS and check engine lights came on and stayed on. The dealership said it was a faulty sensor and replaced it. Now a few months later it is doing the same thing again, and now the windshield wipers come on when I use the left/right turn signals, turn the headlights on, and sometimes just driving down the road. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle. The dealership service manager stated to my husband that its not safe for the vehicle do this. However, the dealership says that the vehicle does not display an error code, and they cannot recreate these issues. Vehicle also makes a grinding noise when turning and the steering feels very vague and bouncy. These issues happen randomly during both city and highway driving. My jeep is a 2014 compass, fwd, 5-speed manual transmission. It has been at the dealership for over a week this time. The ESC issue is a safety issue, as well as, the wipers. It seems to be an electrical issue and makes me wonder if the airbags, ABS, cruise control, etc. Are at risk of failure to operate properly.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 jeep compass. While driving at various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed and an unusual squeaky noise emitted continuously. On separate occasions, the transmission exhibited a violent jerk. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to locate the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10.

Vehicle began making loud squeaking noises at 6,000 miles. I have brought it to the dealer 3 times for the issue and every time they claim it is the nature of the vehicle. There are two different squeaks: 1) when I take my foot off the pedal (seems to be from the front) and 2) when I put my car in reverse (seems to be from the back). The dealer simply insists there is nothing they can do.

Squeaky brakes and acceleration problems. When I have a need for speed, the car down shifts and then accelerates is the best description I can give.

I have taken this car 3 times to the dealer and now it is going on the 4th time to fix a squeaky sound. I am tired of returning. It needs to be fixed and by the way after 4 times I do believe it is considered a new car lemon.

I kept hearing a squeaky noise that I could not determine where it came from when I would pull off. I took my car to the dutchess jeep dealer and called a few times also to report but they could not find anything. Then finally after my persistence, dutchess said there was a bulletin that said there was a problem. Dutchess scheduled an appointment rectified but now my car squeaks while driving esp when pulling off. Could this be a lemon?
