A knocking noise has slowly come into play from the hood of my 2019 Jeep Compass. With some research, it appears to be the front driver's side axle causing this noise while in operation. The knocking sound is caused by the CV joint at the end of the cv axle shaft. As the cv joint wears down, it becomes less able to absorb shock and vibrations. If I were to continue driving with a damaged CV, the joint will disintegrate further, making driving impossible. I will not be able to control the vehicle and may get involved in an accident. This issue is out of my control unless I simply don't drive it. This is also a stock part that wasn't expected to need replacing within 5 years of having the vehicle. My current mileage is roughly 76,000 miles to which I don't drive more than I need to.
After having my Jeep for less than 7,000 miles, I noticed that my front two tires were completely bald on the insides. Brought it to multiple shops and the dealership where I got it, I was told I needed to rotate my tires more and that new cars get poor quality tires put on them. I was also told to monitor my inflation and it has been kept perfectly. I have rotated my tires at around 8,000 miles and am currently at 12,000 and I can already notice the same wear pattern on my tires. Nobody can find anything wrong with my car (alignment, tire pressure, suspension, everything is right) or an explanation of why this is happening.
Alignment went out on camber, no factory adjustment is available. The choice is wear tires uneven and risk a blow out or put in after market adjustments. Alignment is a normal part of the maintenance of the vehicle, not making the adjustments available is wrong and makes the vehicle unsafe to drive without greater cost to the consumer.
