If you own a 2016 Jeep compass and you are driving over 50 miles please make sure you have a fire extinguisher in that vehicle. I purchased a new 2016 compass 7 months ago and while driving down I-95 I decided to pull in one of the rest area. When I turned off the vehicle I noticed smoke coming from under the hood, I popped the hood and was about to look when I noticed flames coming from the middle, back area of the hood, around where the transmission is located. I ran into the building looking for a fire extinguisher, by the time I got to the building I could see the flames making it way out from under the hood. Two workers at the rest area saw the smoke and came with fire extinguishers. By the time they got the fire contained, everything under the hood was burnt. The dealership said that they have nothing to do with that, its between me and Chrysler. I filled a claim with Chrysler the same day, Its 29 days now and I am getting the run around. Every time I call, I am being told that I will receive a call from a case manager. Its just been the worst experience ever.

Such a disappointment

2016 Jeep Compass Latitude 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

It looks great from the outside and even the inside is not bad. My problem is while driving it... It "jerks/jolt" you while driving like its trying catch it breath. They when you are trying to gain ahead on another car it "revs" very hard when only trying to get to 50-60 mph. I mean the RPM gets near (5/6) before I reach 45 mph. Closing, It is more dependable than my old car, but I am highly disappointed. I wish I can give it back!

2016 Jeep Compass High Altitude 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

I bought mine used with 22k miles. It’s the high altitude and I added my own radio with the Apple car play because that’s invaluable to me. All these reviews have me shaking my head. If I buy a Charger and it’s sluggish, okay valid complaint because it’s a car mad for speed. Anyone that buys any truck, SUV etc. and complains about speed and fuel efficiency is crazy. It’s like biting i to an apple and composing it doesn’t taste like an orange. This is a solid vehicle for the price. It’s a Jeep not a Cadillac so it’s noisy as Jeeps tend to be. It has a small gas tank but I am consistently getting 280 miles to a tank with 90% highway miles. Ride is smooth, seats are very comfortable( and I have 3 bad discs in my back). Lots of room in the cargo area. Rear seat could have a bit more legroom but the passengers I have had said they were comfortable. Rear seats recline 35° which none of the haters mention. Lots of goodies like heated seats, remote start, tilt steering wheel, sunroof and leather accents with hand stitch accents. Sorry but those alone would cost much more in other vehicles. I’m a speeder always have been it’s not 0 to 50 in an impressive time but it’s gets there and handles it well. I pass lots of truck, cars van etc without a problem. Don’t listen to the haters it’s a good vehicle especially for the price.

Great steering, braking and acceleration. Nice cockpit display and instrumentation panels. Radio and satellite radio was a bit cumbersome at first but go the hang of it. Back seat is not very comfortable if you are not skinny and cargo space is decent.

Worst car I've driven in years

This vehicle is ridiculously underpowered and poor on gas. The seats are not comfortable at all. No lumbar support and headrest is way too far back from your head. On normal highway driving the engine revs past 6000 rpm to try to keep up with 65 mph traffic.
