I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND IT TACKED HIGH 3-4 FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DID NOT DRIVE ALTHOUGH FOOT WAS TO THE FLOOR ON GAS PEDAL IT WOULD JUST NOT MOVE, KNEW IT WAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT ENGINEERING AT CHRYSLER HAS TRIED EVERY FIX THEY CAN THINK OF TO AVOID REPLACING TRANSMISSION WITH NO SUCCESS. WAITING SUPPOSEDLY FOR NEW TRANSMISSION AND HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALER FOR 20+ DAYS. I HAD THE CAR FOR 52 DAYS PRIOR TO FAILURE AND IT ONLY HAD 2025 MILES ON IT. *TR
2014
STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD
PURCHASED A NEW 2014 JEEP COMPASS, AND 2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING ON MY WAY HOME I SET CRUISE CONTROL AND LET MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL. WHEN I MOVED MY LEFT FOOT CLOSER TO MY SEAT, MY SHOE TRIGGERED THE HOOD RELEASE LATCH. THE HOOD POPPED UP A FEW INCHES, AND IF THE UNDER HOOD SAFETY WASN'T THERE THE HOOD COULD HAVE OPENED COMPLETELY. SAME THING HAPPENED 4-5 DAYS LATER, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE WAY THE LATCH PROTRUDES NEAR THE PEDALS IS THE CAUSE FOR THE MULTIPLE TIMES I'VE ACCIDENTALLY TRIGGERED THE HOOD RELEASE. *TR
