Bought and have had nothing but problems

2015 Jeep Compass High Altitude Edition 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
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.
Never again

I can't wait to pay off this stupid 2015 Compass so I can set it on fire and piss on its ashes. I've never been more uncomfortable in a vehicle. This stupid jeep is the biggest mistake of my life. Every joint in my body hurts from driving this stupid thing and the worst part is that nobody else feels pain from it so everyone thinks I'm delusional.
