Since I bought the Jeep Compass 2007 standard, the brake ground and I felt in my feet something wrong with the pedal (brake) and the driver seat belt, several times spoke with the dealer about this, they checked the car and all the time told me the brakes is ok, I send a letter to Jeep company to explain what was happened and nothing they did. Two days ago I was cleaned the car and found down the brake pedal a leak, I went to the dealer and they said: The brakes booster is broken, and I have to paid for that. Thanks to god I didn't have any accident, (fortunate) but I never felt me safety. The Jeep Compass brakes 2007 came bad.

While trying to stop on slippery surfaces 3 out of 5 times my ABS is non existent and my wheels lock up I first noticed this in December 2009. Last night I was driving on a icy snow covered road. I was coming to a stop sign, I applied my brakes and I didn't feel like I was stopping. I gave the pedal more pressure and I started to fishtail almost colliding with a parked vehicle. The next stop sign I came to ABS worked fine. After that my wheels locked up. This vehicle is a complete joke. Also note vehicle is equipped with good snow tires.
