The 2007 Jeep Compass has 3 recalls, the most serious involving an accelerator pedal that can bind or stick, making it difficult for the driver to control vehicle speed.
Small bushings in the pedal assembly can work loose and cause the pedal to hang rather than return to idle, though applying firm brake pressure can override the throttle in most situations. On the lighting side, daytime running lamps on certain vehicles were not properly set up during assembly and may not illuminate at all, reducing the vehicle's visibility to other drivers in daylight. The third recall applies to Canadian-market vehicles only and involves an owner's manual that omits required information about rollover risk and off-road operation guidelines.
