Do not buy this car. I have a white Compass. The lift gate handle is turning yellow. The front and rear fascia are a coffee color. FCA claims the color is within spec. Yet, every white Compass built before August 2018 has tinted fascias. The car is noisy and rough. The engine is seriously underpowered. I am afraid to merge on highways because this car does not move. Every once in a while, the car will pick up speed and you feel this slingshot sensation.

Jeep Compass is a death trap

My 2018 Jeep Compass is a death trap!! It stops in the middle of the road with no warning, after time it will drive again. I took it right back to Jeep Performance Auto Mall Dr. Cols. Oh. their script is it's a safety feature, I nearly lost brains trying to explain a car stopping in the middle of the road is not safe! All I want is my money back, they keep saying drive it 500 more miles knowing my warranty will expire. I've had it at the garage 6x I should of bought another Honda, that I can drive with confidence.

Piece of crap

My 2018 Jeep Compass has been in the shop more than any car I have ever had. I hate it. It stalls, I take it to the dealer. All they say is the oil is low. It broke down on me the other day and the ETC lightning bolt came up on the dashboard. All they said again was that the oil was low. They said it was ready and I told them that that is bs. and I filed a case with the manufacturer and called a lawyer. I want out of this death trap. Anyone that can help me, please email me jwms210@gmail.com.

I have owned Grand Cherokee's, Commanders, & a Liberty and this is one of my favorite of all my Jeeps! Well put together, nice interior, and the body style looks GREAT! Extremely happy with this Jeep Compass!!!

DO NOT PURCHASE

By far the worst car I’ve ever owned. Bought this brand new Jan of 2018, had nothing but problems. The engine has been burning oil like crazy. The engine is bone dry !! Can you believe that ? On a brand new car how could there be no oil. You have to get a oil change every 4K miles or even less. . Mind you it requires synthetic oil so that’s $70-$100 a pop every 3 months or so depending how much you drive or course. I’ve broken down twice because my engine ran out of oil. What a joke. Back up camera sucks, it always freezes but the main problem is the engine. Totally not reliable. God forbid you go a couple hundred miles over your next oil change, you’ll be calling a tow truck. As a matter of fact ,keep AAA on your speed dial. This car is a joke and should be taken off the market completely. I wish I had did some research before I bought this POS. Worst mistake ever. I miss my 07 solara. That car never gave me a problem and I was able to drive a little past the recommended oil change life, never broke down on me. Can’t believe how sucky this car is. Safe to say that I will never ever purchase a Jeep ever again. These cars are the worst. DO NOT PURCHASE A COMPASS. DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!
