I had my compass not even 2 weeks after I bought it before I had transmission issues. Every time I tried going on a road trip and it went past an hr of driving, the transmission light would come on, the rpm's rose and the speed decreased.... It has been in the shop 9x over the last 7 months and between the dealer and Chrysler I can't seem to get them to realize the importance of having a car that you are paying on (ins and car payment). It has been at a dealership waiting for Chrysler to give the go ahead for a new transmission for 3 weeks now... A nightmare! If they hadn't guaranteed me a manufacturer warranty on the transmission I would be responsible. But the car is under the 100,000 mile warranty mark. Problem!?! The car and the fact that I was sold a Canadian car without my knowledge and that is the loophole that is screwing me. Do yourself a favor, don't think twice about a compass and make sure it wasn't brought over the border!!!

I went with the manual tranny which I regret. The low torgue requires you to bump up the rpm's quite a bit to get this thing going. Once going it's fairly responsive as long as you keep the tach above 1800 or so. If you shift at or above around 3200 or so, you feel a LOT of vibration coming back thru the clutch pedal and the reverse gear seems to have been delivered with some rough teeth - sounds like you are grinding hamburger if you go very far in reverse. Handling on the other hand is very good. It's fun to corner with this rig and it stays very flat. It's quite on decent roads and rides comfortably. The center armrest is too short and cumbersome (it moves fore and aft).
I hate this Jeep!

This is the second Jeep I have owned, the first being a older Grand Cherokee that I loved. I bought this one with high hopes, that have been dashed. It has the most uncomfortable front seats I have ever sat in. It started rusting when it was only 3 years old. We have taken it in several times for evaporation faults. There is hardly a center console to rest your arm on if you so choose. It is very loud when you reach speeds greater than 55mph. Overall it just has a very cheap feel.

We had the 2011 Compass, Jeep 70th Anniversary Special, which came with leather seats, a sunroof and upgraded floor mats and trim. IT performed very well and was economical. The electronics were helpful but not confusing. I would recommend this as a great starter SUV or normal duty car. Comparing it to our 2011 Grand Cherokee Overland, this is the little brother or sister; great performance with similar electronics and much better fuel economy in a lighter, smaller car that's much easier to park and better all around for young drivers.
