What owners wrote

On december 9, 2016 I rented a jeep compass and on that day I had a roll over accident. I was driving in the country. Very low traffic area. Before applying the brake, I was driving at a safe speed for the road conditions - fifteen to twenty MPH on fresh snow and some packed snow over a paved road base. At about twenty to twenty five feet before a stop sign I began to apply the brake. The brake did nothing. There was clicking noises and the compass seemed to accelerate.
