#64 of 85 Radio powers off and then on without warning by hondajeep95 Sep 14, 2008 (8:30 am)
I have a '07 Compass Limited with a 6 CD changer and Satellite radio. For some reason it powers off unexpectedly (lose all displays and sound) by itself for 3-5 seconds and then it plays again as expected. This happens despite if I am listening to the CD, radio or satellite. This can happen every 5 minutes or every couple of days. I plan to have the radio exchanged at my Jeep dealership however, I was wondering if anyone else experienced this problem..

Replying to: scepter2112 (Sep 13, 2008 1:19 pm) That was the exact mileage that we brought ours in at. Good luck, let me know how it goes. We are still haveing leaks that Jeep can't fix. We just don't drive our brand new, paid in full, 2007 Jeep Compass, when it rains anymore.

Replying to: jeep1717 (Aug 11, 2008 11:14 am) I am having the exact same issue with my 07 Compass. Just today I have taken the car in for the 5th attempt to fix my leaking sunroof.   In the previous four repair attempts I have had the entire sunroof assembly replaced, the gasket around the glass replaced twice, both the front and rear drains replaced, and had the headliner replaced. A star case has been opened on my vehicle and corporate has been out to look at the problem once. The service manager has indicated to me that basically every thing that could be done has been done.   I have opened a case with Chrysler customer relations and now get past the people in India pretty quick, but I am not getting very far with corporate. Corporate, while being very sympathetic, told me that I needed to take it back to the dealer AGAIN! This after I told them that I no longer believed that the problem could be fixed and I wanted the car replaced.   Anyway, I dropped the car off at the dealer today and sent a certified letter to Chrysler informing them that I want to lemon law the car. I'm not sure what will come of it, but I just can't have a car that can't go out in the rain. I have also talked briefly with a law firm, but figure I will try to go through the arbitration process once myself and see where I get.   I have to say that I take some comfort in the fact that I am not the only one having this problem, no offense. I had been told by my dealer in May of this year that they were unable to find any documentation internal to Chrysler regarding the problem. It seems that some Patriot owners are starting to experience the same problems. Hopefully there are enough people having this problem to cause Chrysler to really try to find the root cause.

Replying to: cclewell (Oct 27, 2008 3:44 pm) Well-I guess I can now consider myself among those of you with this problem. I was feeling pretty good-but over the weekend at 14,998 miles, I began to have this problem. Odd thing, was it leaked (from snow, I believe) and then when I washed it to get the snow/salt off-it did not seem to leak, my guess is that this has to get to a certain level before it tries to "get out" the best way it can.   I am off to talk with the dealer today.   Has anyone encountered problems with the ABS or 4 wheel drive component? Whenever the ABS engage or if I try to use the 4WD (have only used it two times in almost 24 months due to this issue) it sounds as though the vehicle is coming apart and the brake pedal shakes violently under your feet. The 4WD issue has been in snow both times and in reality, it makes the vehicle difficult to control.   Thanks for any info. Replies to this message: farout (Dec 17, 2008 5:15 pm)

Replying to: gmcint (Dec 15, 2008 1:13 am) I bought a 2007 Compass Sport 4x4 on April 4,2007 the price was $23,730. We tarded it in on Aug. 31,2007 with a little over 10,000 miles on it. By far this was a HUGE waste of money! The 2.4 L engine was completely gutless, and the CVT was the worst transmission I have ever had in my 45 yeras of driving. The dash was so uneven and big gaps and such cheap plastic junk everywhere! There was no place soft to put your arm. The gas mpg was average was 22 mpg which was horrid. The Compass required a heavy foot to get the darn thing to move, and had no ability to accomodate any item larger than 26" high. The Compass for me was a vehicle that did not meet my expectations, except the Siruis Radio, that has been real nice. I insisted the Pacifica I bought to dump the Compass have that radio. By the the Pacifica AWD Touring gets 24 to 26 mpg consistantly, and a high of 28mpg!   The 2009 Compass has a new dash that is pretty nice, the sound deading is much better, and thy say the engine has had some minor changes. Oh, the sunroof did not leak, as of when we traded it in.   farout

Replying to: jeep1717 (Aug 11, 2008 11:14 am) Hi, I had this exact same problem with my 2008 Compass that I got as a birthday gift just this past June. I took it to the dealership and it was fixed the first time. There are drainage tubes that they had to clean out. However, now I have a new leak problem. When it rains my entire driver's side back floor fills with water. I have looked around the trim of the door and the seal is unharmed. I have felt the vertical part of the floor and it is dry. So, it seems as if the water is coming from the floor. So, what I am thinking is that after "fixing" the tubes they caused the water to re-route through the side frame and that is why nothing else appears to be wet. So, needless to say I am terribly upset because like you I did not buy my Jeep close to home and have to travel over an hour to the dealership for repairs. I must say that although I have wanted this truck for a long time I am starting to get tired of the repairs. I can't even enjoy it.
