What owners wrote
While at milosch palace chrysler jeep dealership in lake orion I noticed the power steering return hose was contacting the front suspension sway bar at stationary curb condition. This is a design violation which I told fca about when I worked there in 2014. The issue has existed now from july of 2014 until now. The hose can wear a hole in it due to a 2 inch rubbing interference with suspension movement and the vehicle will lose steering assist and power steering fluid can spray in the exhaust system causing a fire.
2016 jeep compass with 51k miles. I took it in for a tire rotation and my drivers side tie rod was warn so much that they would not allow me to drive it out of the shop. My 90k mile tires needed replaced at 30k miles.
