Bought and have had nothing but problems

I bought a 2015 Jeep Compass and loved it at first. It was very cute, very cost efficient and I loved the fact that I could get a Jeep product for that price.. I am now regretting it. 1.) I had the car a few months and something in the transmission slipped and came loose. It was fine when I would put it in reverse to back out of my drive way or parking spot but when I would put it in Drive, it wouldn't actually go into drive. I would have to Put it in park and then put it back into drive a few times. I was not very happy considering that is not safe. 2.) I complained a few times about the transmission because of the "Whining" noise that it made when I got off the gas. I was told by service department that it was just the CVT transmission that was making the noises and that it was "normal and that there was nothing they could do." 3.) When I reached about 25,000 miles, the brakes started squealing. Brakes shouldn't have to be replaced with that low of miles. I went ahead and had them replaced to see if the squealing would stop. We have had them cleaned and scuffed and it still squeals. All other reviews that I have read has the brakes squealing in Reverse but mine only does it in Drive. I took it to the dealership to have them look at it and We were told that there was nothing they could do to make the squealing stop. It would be a continuous problem that couldn't be corrected due to the fact that there is disc brakes in the front and drum in the rear. With the drums, the brake dust doesn't have anywhere to do. So now every time I take it to have the oil changed and tires rotated, I have to tell them to clean and scuff the brakes while it is in their possession. 4.) Don't expect to get up to full speed very fast. Since this is only a 4CYL, it seems to have problems getting up to speed as any other 4cyl's I have drove. Personally, they shouldn't even offer these in 4CYL. I really thought this would be a vehicle that I would love but I have had nothing but problems out of this vehicle. My opinion... DO NOT PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE.

Our experience has been terrible. We bought a 2015 Jeep Compass Latitude in January. It has 4 wheel drive, moon roof, automatic with capability to drive as manual. Our issues have been the following. Navigation didn't work 2nd week over owning it. They replaced it, works now. Next week as I back up you can hear high pitch noise.(like when your brakes are going out) We took it in 5 different times. And overtime after we have picked up still the noise. Especially if you have put the emergency brake on and then try reversing. Now it has been making the noise as I stop. We have been given the excuse of humidity. The current line we are given is all Jeep Compass makes this noise. (Something we didn't know before the purchase). Wondering if anyone else is having these issues? Because to date mine still makes this terrible noise.

2015 Jeep Compass sport 2.4L manual

I really don't understand why this vehicle gets such a bad rep. Why even take the time to write a review if you're just renting it? Obviously it's not your vehicle so of course there are going to be things you don't necessarily like. Everyone who writes reviews like that I just picture them in their Honda Prius looking cool af. Anyways I can't complain about the Jeep Compass, I love it!

In the 4 years since I purchased my 2015 compass , continues to have squeaky break issue , break dust they say .. squeals like a pug with any weight in back seats or trunk area , already had to replace the transmission at 40,000 miles , gas mileage is not the greatest , electrical issues , using blinkers and lights go out , rear lights not lighting up at all ... definitely not even CLOSE TO THE QUALITY OF MY 2000 CHEROKEE.. Guess that why this one was a $ 17,000 mistake
