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.

I unfortunately fell in love with the looks of my Trailhawk. It drove well, handled well, and got pretty good gas mileage (around 24mpg). I loved the heated seats and steering wheel and the technology. But, the computer fritzed out one day about a half mile from home and every single warning light started cycling through. It would not go back into gear and I had to get it towed. $2500 and a new computer later, all is well. Until one day driving home in Nashville traffic and it simply will not accelerate. I had to pull off (after nearly getting hit) turn the car off and wait a few minutes, restart, and it ran fine. Oh and you have to be a master mechanic just to change the batteries (yes there are 2 - one is the start/stop battery). So, as much as I loved it, it just was too unsafe with all the weird stuff that would go wrong.
