400 miles on it and regretting it.

Not all compasses are created equal. I opted for undercoating, was given a loaner which was brand new and exact model and it was great. Not so with the one I purchased. Put 400 miles on both the loaner and my car. I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE! The car I got has issues with driver door panel warpage, wind noise/cabin noise and engine/exhaust noise, none present in the loaner vehicle. I could not swap them out.. The gas mileage stinks. 16-17 mpg when advertised average is 25mpg. The muffler is getting noisier and it is brand new. Heard there is a recall on it but nothing official yet. The dealer is evasive and is just plain lying about the noise issues. Not done pursuing remedies with the dealership or Jeep Chrysler. I hope to get some resolution. I am just sick about this. I am disabled and being taken advantage of. The Chrysler Jeep people are helping me with this, but the dealer is "independently owned and operated", which I have heard 100 times. The best we can do is discourage people from buying Jeep as there should not be these problems on a new car. Quality control? What's that?. BUY A DIFFERENT BRAND! In mourning.......

Noisy, I just bought the Jeep in November and the unconnected is already not working.. so pissed off. I did not know that a lot of people had the same problem. People even sued over defective product. Acceleration is horrible. The damn thing is so damn slow I feel like I'm driving ms. Daisy. It kills the gas because you have to press the gas pedal so hard to take off.... old fashioned looking features.. technology sucks. Which I did more research before investing. Now I am stuck in a82 my loan which the dealer failed to explain...

We leased this car because we wanted something reliable since we were having our first child. With in the first 13 months this vehicle has been in the shop 6 times for all sorts of issues. Some of them major and dangerous. Twice the start stop system malfunctioned and would randomly kill the jeep... happend the first time pulling out into traffic... the touch screen radio has been replaced twice because it would bug out the reverse camera and GPS. They still haven't resolved the wind shield wipers randomly turning on if you roll two windows down at once. I talked to a couple techs at my local shop. They say they work on these compasses daily. It shows because everytime they need a part it on back ordered for weeks. Hope you like spending hard earned money on a fully load rig just to drive a plain Jane rental half the time.

JEEP Compass High Altitude High Satisfaction

It is a great little SUV with lots of extras, great gas mileage, and a good ride. The 2.4 4-cyl. has plenty of power and performance for a mid size SUV. We are very satisfied with this vehicle for the price.
