Massive Oil Leak on 2011 Jeep Compass
Attention 2011 Jeep Compass owners - Today I had a massive oil leak in my 2011 Jeep Compass, only had 4900 miles. Started my daily commute, which was interupted by a the oil light coming on. White smoke (oil smoke) was coming from the under side of the vehicle. Had it towed to the dealership and they found that the oil filter housing cracked, draining the engine of all but about 2 qtrs of oil. Dealership claimed the factory must have overtightened the oil filter, causing it to crack. I am now wondering how much life I just took off of my engine with low oil. Dealership simply did an oil change to resolve this issue. New Jeep owners beware, take no crap from the dealership...its documentated.
So far so good
I've owned my 2011 Jeep Compass for just a week now and have been quite satisfied with my purchase. The only issues I've had with the vehicle thus far have been user induced. However it's only been a week, and I'll definitely be willing to post again if/when I do run into any problems.

Would probably never buy again.
Purchased our 2011 Compass in December of 2013. Loved the Jeep for a few days until I realized how awful the gas mileage is! At best it only gets 240 per 16 gallon around the city and that's during the summer when the traction is turned off. After a few months of ownership, the side plastic piece along the passenger seat broke from simply getting in and out of the seat. Now today, January of 2015, at 37K miles it had to be towed twice due to computer issues not sending signals to the fuel pump. Can't wait to see that shop bill and can't wait to get a new vehicle!
2011 Compass
This was my first new vehicle purchase. I traded in my 06 Mazda hatch for the jeep. I had loved the Mazda and it's sporty-ness, but we were looking to get a family vehicle. The jeep is very sporty yet still the SUV feel. My gas mileage is decent( it'd be better if I drove it more like an SUV and not my Mazda). Great Jeep! (especially for the money)
My first Jeep
Very stylish, but very compact on the inside. Unfortunately I purchases a CVT transmission with 4x4 but the deal I got was too great! It lasted me a long time. Used it for everything, camping, off roading, and a daily driver. Milage was a little low, even for highways. About 21 combined, nothing after market. Space was very limited in the back seat and the cargo area. Overall, it was a good car but I decided to upgrade to a Subaru Crosstrek. More space, AWD, and lifted higher.
