This car is known to have excessive oil consumption. There is no warning lights that alert you the oil is low. The car will turn off and parking brake will engage in mid drive, even on the highway! Jeep will do nothing about it except suggest you get an oil change and come in every 500 miles for an oil consumption test. Do not buy!!
Tuff little BEAST!

2018 Jeep Compass Trailhawk 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)

I drove gun jeeps in Vietnam and fast forward to my 2018 Jeep Compass Trailhawk, the military stuff we had were nowhere as agile, "determined" and giddy-up-go as my Trailhawk. I drive it on a ranch here in Texas in places I'd never dare take the Jeep I drove in Vietnam. I'm 6 feet tall and can adjust the seat to where I am comfortable on short trips or driving through several states. I can haul two of my dogs in the back, or groceries - although for large loads I use a pickup or van we have. The only downside I have with this Trailhawk is the DARNED backup camera/display is impossible to adjust the light level at night. I've had it back to the dealership several times to get the software flashed, and the control to adjust the level of brightness for the display works fine for about a week, then goes wacko again and it looks like staring into a flame thrower because the dimmer can't lower the light intensity of the screen when backing up at night.

Only buy this car if you are looking to live on edge (literally). The manufacturing of it is absolutely careless. I am two years into my lease now and 6 months in my emergency brake turned on by itself TWICE while I was driving. Once making a left hand turn and once making a left hand turn. Both very startling experiences. When I brought my car to the dealer they informed me it was happening due to no oil in my engine. Mind you, the car never informed me it needed an oil change and even if it did, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TURNED ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING TWICE. SO CARELESS. Then last week I was driving down my street and I stopped at a stop sign and the car literally would not drive after I stopped. I then shut the car off and turned it on, when I put into drive.m, the car rolled backwards. I then tried it again and when I put the car in drive I heard a loud bang and the car shook. My transmission had dropped. Again, took it to the dealer and they informed me that this happened due to three computer updates that my car needed. This forced the transmission to drop. Again, my car did not inform me of the updates. I then emailed Jeep about the manufacturing problems and they did not even read my email and said that no oil and “low transmission” fluid is normal in a brand new car. Obviously this guy did not read my email. Would not even recommend to my worst enemy. Will never drive a Chrysler product again. DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH.

Bought a 2018 compass latitude new, at 28k miles started burning oil. Didn’t know until I checked the dipstick and there was nothing on it. The dealership tried saying I was responsible if it needed a motor because I was doing the oil changes. Come to find out it’s a common issue with the 2.4 motors and then had them do an oil consumption test. They said it didn’t consume enough to put a new motor in even though it was burning 2qts a week. Got corporate involved and finally after three months they scoped the motor and all the cylinder walls were scored. It was a candidate for a new motor but they were on back order. Finally had enough and got a new car and terminated the lease, there problem now. On top of that problem the car also had shifting problems were it would shift very hard randomly and it shut off on the highway once. Save yourself and stay away from these cars. Nothing but problems and many reports to back it up
JEEP compass is a great deal for a small SUV
