2018 Jeep Compass Trailhawk 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
4 of 6 people found this review helpful

Have been driving my 2018 Jeep Compass Trailhawk a month now no problems at all so far. I love the way this Compass drives and gets through heavy snow excellent. I have a 70mile drive round trip to work and home and I am very comfortable in this Jeep sit up high and straight and seats curve your body just right. So far mpg is ok not great so far avg around 26 to 30 on highway I'm not easy on the accel and most of time cruise is set at 71 to 76. Some have complained of 9 speed but I have not experienced any concerns at all when driving a round town or hwy., mine may be later model build with proper software updates new vehicles in last 3 -4 years seem to have updates all the time just ask your dealer if any can be performed when bring in for oil change. Love the looks to have not really went off roading per say but that is not why I bought the Trailhawk model I bought it because it looks cool. Look I test drove other makes of this size SUVS and they all just seemed a little boring look all cars have there problems some a bit more than others but they are all fairly equal to each other so I do expect to bring any car I own into the shop once in awhile I have owned many different manufacture vehicles and they all had to have some repairs and or maintenance, after all they are name by imperfect human beings. Love my Jeep! its a Jeep thing ya know

Very disappointed... My Compass is 4 months old and I bought it brand new , so far the transfer seal went, the gas tank nozzle had to be replaced, and now the drive shaft is attatched to my floor mat another repair... I will never ever buy a Jeep product again. I should have listened to my husband ...

SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE!!! DO NOT BUY!

I have a new 2018 Jeep Compass that I bought in May. This car has been to the dealership more than I can remember, at this point, I should be on their payroll. Transmission and Brakes are my biggest issue with this car. The driver seat is very uncomfortable, storage space is a joke, the cup holders are so far down that I spill my drink everytime I wear my coat. The headlight aren't bright enough in my opinion, it only covers a short distance. Don't even get me started on Uconnect -_- they have poor customer service, the touchscreen is always freezing ( sometimes while using my backup camera) I can go on and on about this car. It hasn't been a year and I am trading it in.

Oil consumption and engine failure

This car is junk it burns oil so much u constantly have to watch your oil. Do not take on the road for long trips because your car will go out and it looses almost 1 qwt of oil every thousand miles and the engine and transmission light is on and I’m just getting to 30k miles worst car ever.
