What owners wrote
Wife was driving on the highway when car started to swerve from side to side and the brakes locked. She smashed into the barrier and whole car was totalled. Don't even know how we can get compensation for this.
It starts with the steering wheel is loose and at first we had no idea what was going on. 14 2014. I spoke with the recall dept. They said the compass, at this time does not have this recall. Only the wrangler below, which has the same exact issue as I do. So, I have to tow truck my jeep tomorrow morning, to my local jeep dealership, service dept and pay out of pocket. Chrysler recall dept said keep my receipts if more ppl complain then there may be a recall just like the wrangler has below.
