What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep compass. The contact stated that there was liquid on both front floorboards of the vehicle. In addition, while driving at 30 MPH, another vehicle attempted to merge into the lane and crashed into the driver's side of the contact's vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained minor neck inquiries that required medical attention. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed, but was taken to a collision center for repairs.
My wife says that as she approached a red light on a city street the vehicle had trouble stopping and that it felt like the front wheel was going to come off the car. When I looked at it I noticed a ton of corrosion on the front cross-member and sub-frame and one side had completely split apart.
