BURNS OIL

I have a 2017 Jeep Compass Latitude. For the most part I like the vehicle. However, I just found out yesterday that it is burning oil. I have 52,500 miles on it and it should not be burning oil. So, I get online and find numerous complaints of this problem with the 2017-2019 Jeep Compass models. I think Jeep needs to do a recall and fix this problem. I have owned several Jeeps and never had this kind of problem.

Regrets and misery

I was in a bind because my old Mariner finally gave up the ghost after 15 years of solid performance. Went with a local dealer and the nightmare began with a low mileage 2017 (two years old) Seemed okay at first but wasn’t aware of start/stop option and dealer never even mentioned so you can imagine my surprise when it shuts off at a light. I think the default should be off not on but that’s me. I hate this option. Noise! If you open rear windows for the circulation and the front are closed the noise and vibration is unbearable. Had problems out of the starting gate with locks not working. Hadn’t even realized after two weeks of using it. Clicked the fob, beep happened and I walked away. Just happened one day to walk back as I forgot something and found doors did not lock. I had been leaving groceries and purchases in car while shopping and thankfully nothing got stolen. Took dealer one month and five tries to finally correct. It was a safety issue of course because if I was in a situation of danger I would have been out of luck to protect myself or if I had a kid in the backseat doors could have been opened. Had to get a new battery and most auto parts stores said nope, too hard to change on those. Dealer wanted close to 400 to replace the battery! Finally Autozone changed for me - total cost 229 for battery no charge installation I am not one to let the gas tank run low but others have told me if low fuel light is on it’s too late. And speaking of fuel - got in it yesterday and began to start up and gauges went wild telling me fuel low, and car won’t stay running. It will be back in the shop tomorrow. A little research shows it might be fuel filter we shall see. I plan to ditch this lemon first chance I get. I think Jeep should focus on making a better performing cat and spend less time embossing geckos into the frame.

I have had my Compass for 3.5 years and still love it. It has been all over the US. We use it for the family road trips. It gets decent MPG. I've never had any issues with it and just normal maintenance. It was a lease and I decided to buy it.

I love my jeep compass high altitude! It is very comfortable behind the steering wheel considering I am 6feet 5 inches tall! I have as much headroom and legroom as my Nissan Titan.The double stitched leather interior looks great. Performance and mileage are also good! Can not wait for the snow to checkout the four wheel drive! Buy one you will not be disappointed!

Almost everything in the Edmunds review is wrong as it relates to my Compass . It has real nice interior appointments with lots of room . This Jeep is loaded with accessories that are quite convenient . The 2.4 makes impressive power . The 9 speed transmission is perfectly tuned to the vehicle making it a pleasure to drive . It is quiet and responsive in all departments . The cold weather package gives thoughtful options for cold weather operation . Jeep was thoughtful enough to provide an override for the stop/start system . This is something many brands do not provide . It gives an average fuel economy of 27 mpg driven on rural roads . We are very happy with this vehicle . update --- now after 3 years of ownership we are still very pleased with this Compass . No repairs have been needed . It's still fun and pleasing to drive and still gets around 27 mpg . Very good vehicle . update --- still very happy with this Compass . It get good gas milage , it is fun to drive , and has needed no repairs to date .
