This is the only vehicle I've ever owned that needed warranty repairs... 7,000 miles, dash screen died and needed to be replaced. 12,000 miles a complete electrical failure, system needed to be completely replaced which included seats and floor removed. Both batteries died and needed to be replaced at 17,000 miles. At 18,600 miles, intermittently doors won't lock, touchscreen erratic, outside temp gauge off by 10-20 degrees. 22,000 miles, starter relay failed which shut off the engine. What's next? Jeep extols its vehicles' off road capabilities. But I pray that mine will hold together when I drive over a speed bump. Slowly.
What a great car.

Was a little uncertain about purchasing a Jeep Trailhawk, especially after reading some reviews. But I can tell you it’s a fabulous vehicle! The size fits between sub and the larger Jeep. With lots of room for my frame of 6”2. Most magazines complain about the 4 cylinder being under powered but really, it gets up and goes. If you want lightning speed buy a Vet. My car has everything except a sunroof so get yours loaded and you’ll never be disappointed. The car is priced right ..... Off to do a little off road 😎 My best, Joe

Loving this car so far

I love this car! Drives heavy like a luxury vehicle and has a lot of premium finishes but didn't break my budget. Some of the technology features take a little while to get used to and I don't get as great of gas milage as I was expecting (but I rarely drive on the highway and have a hilly commute everyday) but it's been a great choice so far. Everyone that has ridden in the backseat say it's very comfortable and there is lots of room. The cargo space is smaller than I expected but since the back seats fold flat it hasn't been an issue at all.

Not a great car for tall or wider people

2017 Jeep Compass Sport SE 4dr SUV w/Prod. End 02/17 (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

We use our vehicles for delivery and are in and out of vehicle all day. The edges of the seat are very hard and hurt our legs as we exit. The seat pans are also too short and tilt upward into your thighs. If you're riding all day it's very uncomfortable. Not enough lower back support. Emerge with back and tail end aching after a day in the car. The front seat also has to slide back too far to accommodate tall people. So there's no room in rear seat for other tall people. Acceleration is poor (gutless) uphill and have to turn AC off if you want robust acceleration! Engine is very loud/deafening on acceleration, it sounds like a motorcycle!

Jeep Compass Trailhawk needs a push up the hill!

I recently test drove a 2017 Jeep Compass Trailhawk. I wanted a small, all-around SUV that would especially get me up skiing. Took it for my usual test drive up I-70 to see how it would perform on the uphill grade. With the pedal to the metal I could barely manage 70mph. Thought I was going to have to get out and push. Absolutely anemic. This vehicle might work in city traffic and for flat-landers but in the mountains, forget it.
