WHILE TRYING TO STOP ON SLIPPERY SURFACES 3 OUT OF 5 TIMES MY ABS IS NON EXISTENT AND MY WHEELS LOCK UP I FIRST NOTICED THIS IN DECEMBER 2009. LAST NIGHT I WAS DRIVING ON A ICY SNOW COVERED ROAD. I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN, I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I WAS STOPPING. I GAVE THE PEDAL MORE PRESSURE AND I STARTED TO FISHTAIL ALMOST COLLIDING WITH A PARKED VEHICLE. THE NEXT STOP SIGN I CAME TO ABS WORKED FINE. AFTER THAT MY WHEELS LOCKED UP. THIS VEHICLE IS A COMPLETE JOKE. ALSO NOTE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH GOOD SNOW TIRES. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MECHANISM WOULD NOT FUNCTION WHEN THE LEVER WAS PUSHED DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE KNOB HAD TO BE TURNED IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN HE ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LEVER COULD BE PUSHED DOWN IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE THE WIPERS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400.
