I haven't even had the car a week and already started having problems. My stomach hurts just thinking about this car. First, my gas tank won't fill up all the way. At first I thought it was the gas station nozzle. Went to second gas station only to have the same problem. It kept popping off like if It was full. It gets maybe 90% full. I drive home and suddenly its full... okay great! Next morning get on and it's lost a quarter overnight just by being parked! The gas milage is a joke I been driving it speed limit and it has never reached the 25MPG advertised. The computer keeps reading 16 mpg is my average... I can't believe I have to spend so much money on gas this is false advertising and I hope more people complain about this. Today my central computer screen turned off and rebooted on its own. I have to call the dealership already. The air-conditioning is like room temperature at most. I have have to use the MAX a/c button to try and cool down as I live in SoCal. My first jeep and I should have stuck with Toyota as my previous two vehicles were from there. I am completely devastated over this purchase. Seriously if you have some of these same problems email me as I am going to start asking for things to be fixed and the more people complain the faster. [contact info removed]

This car is Perfect!. 2nd gen Compass (My Latitude is 9 speed auto with many other upgrades) So fun to drive, great looking in and out. The Detailing in the interior with it curves and chrome accent gives it a solid expensive look and attention to detail look. Everything appears to be laid out perfectly. Best handing car I have drove so far. Very smooth ride on highway, and excellent on turns. Lot of technology and electronics in this car. Too soon to see how they all hold up. Very stylish exterior with nice curves with no wind noise. This is my first 4 cylinder car, and I have to say I am impressed! Power and acceleration is just enough even with 5 people in the car. I don’t know why people are complain about this, lets get real, this is not a sports car where you going to feel a gravity pull when you gun it. I think it’s plenty for a 4 cylinder and size of the vehicle. I am averaging 20 MPG, I kind of expecting a bit more since its rated 23 city and 30 highway. But its way much better than all my previous cars. The "Stop start and Go" can get annoying, however it can be disabled by a push of a button. If this car holds up as is, i just might buy it at end of my lease. Love it!

Has Issues

I bought my 2017 Jeep New Compass used with 4,000 miles. The car handles well, looks good, I get avg. 28 mpg which I think is great for an AWD vehicle, but I've had multiple issues with it. On the way home from the dealer I noticed a rattling in the front end, it was the driver side stabilizer bar linkage was broken. After a while I noticed the remote start would not work after sitting overnight, the AC would be on full blast when I turned the car on, headlights would turn off and on by themselves. That was all fixed with a software update that took them 2 weeks to figure out. It was doing good for almost a year, then it said I needed to service the auto stop/start feature. Dealer replaced the hood latch pin and said it may fix it. Hasn't happened since then. Most recently, I was going around a curve and the low oil pressure light came on. Checked the oil and there was just a little bit on the very end of the dipstick. It had been about 5,000 miles since my last oil change and when it was drained my husband said there was only about 2 quarts left. Motor has been burning oil since I bought it, sometimes seems worse than other times.

This car is such a disappointment! This was my first new car and it couldnt be more of a letdown!! The ride is bouncy, the brake pedal is short ;having my foot dangerously slip off at times, the electric system ( radio/dashboard) goes on and off, the drivers seat is uncomfortable, the oil goes low often ( ive never seen this on a car) and the car dangerously stalls out. What a bust!!! Im so let down! Do yourself a favor and dont get this clunker!!

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.
