2018 Jeep Compass Trailhawk 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
5 of 11 people found this review helpful
I've driven both Trailhawk versions of the Cherokee and Compass.The interiors are basically identical,except for the red outlining and hilights in the compass,which really look best with a red exterior,then black,and silver.The huge difference is in the face and tires.The redesigned Compass looks like a smaller Grand Cherokee and a true Jeep.The slopenosed Cherokee does not.The tires and wheels on the Cherokee tho are great.The single combo on the Compass not only look pathetic for a four wheel drive capable Jeep,but no other choice is ironically a and obviously their way to save money by cutting corners.Add to this,the Compass sits lower and will achieve 30 mpg highway,but off road prowess will be less than desirable.The smart camper/hiker will sell the wheels and tire combo on the Compass back to Jeep and have the Cherokee's 18 inch combo installed.You can only get the 184 hp 4 cylinder in the Compass which for $31 to $33,000.00 is waay to underpowered.With a max 1500 lb. tow capacity,you should test drive some better suited cars.

Listen I want my 16’ Honda Accord back or even my 02 Camry I leased this car in oct 2018. By December I had a light come on for the auto on/off start engine . By January the car had been in dodges possession for 4x.l due to the light coming on 3x in one week with pictures for every date .The last time they had it for a week. My complaint started with my gas tank spilling gas when I would pump gas into the car. The light for the off/on engine . There’s a noise in the back of the car I have no clue what it is but it sounds like it will fall apart . The engine is loud and shakes! I was told my friend to check if I had oil and it wasn’t even time for an oil change . The car sounds so freaking loud and is literally brand new . My issues began at 2300 miles . Anyways the last time they had the vehicle for a week, I retrieved it with no gas ! The light has not come back on anymore which is alarming considering they did nothing to fix it because they We’re waiting for the light to come back In which they claim never did .So at this point I believe something is unplugged but I know nothing about this vehicle to fully investigate . Nothing was done at all to fix the issue I had for 3 straight days of the light coming on and now boom no light . They’re crooks. On top of that , the vehicle does stall! I have been on the highway and have felt the acceleration decrease dramatically . I have watched the ideal not switch gears . The back up camera is trash! It freezes all the time. I have to turn around so basically this feature is no good to me. For some reason when you turn the temperature it doesn’t stay synched. So you’ll basically be trying to warm up while the other side is stuck at whatever you had it previously on. Stupid ! If you have the vents on defrost it sounds like they’re clogged when I’m high. My engine for some reason is dusty ! I’ve recently noticed my Odometer having something tiny flash over it . No clue but it’s annoying . Two weeks ago my engine turned off by Itself upon cranking . It’s literally something new every week. You can also feel something move under your foot when turning sometimes. Maybe the suspension??? Not sure . I’m literally waiting for this car to just stop working or fall apart . Just don’t purchase this. Speaking with Chrysler does not help! I’ve already tried to get them to take it back. They said I could sign a new lease if I want however as well all know I will lose all sorts of money .

Lackluster, even for a rental.

I just got the 2018 Compass Limited today. I did not want it because I loath FCA Products due to atrocious quality and spotty reliability. Unfortunately for me, my only option was the Compass or a Suburban. I should have stuck with the Suburban. For starters, the engine is incredibly loud. As soon as I started it up I noticed how loud it was. There is no smoothness. You can feel every revolution that those pistons make. There is also dismal power. And the transmission is not willing to let you really dip into the pedal because it doesn’t like to gear down. However, it will hold gears until your teeth rattle out. Keeping with problems of the engine, due to the uncertainty of how long I’ll be stuck with this pile of junk, I am fearing that the oil light will come on and I’ll end up with a broken rental car. Fuel economy is also lackluster. On the technology front, the auto start stop is not the greatest system I’ve seen. The roughness of the engine doesn’t help. My rental Compass is equipped with rain-sensitive wipers that only work when they want to. *I went into the UConnect menu to ensure they were on.* but it seems to be a common “poor quality” issue, which is no shock coming from a FCA product. The lane keep assist is...different. I feel as though it steers out of the lane instead of pushing you back in it. The blind spot monitor comes on whenever there is nothing near the car. That’s more of an annoyance than an issue. For some reason, the miles constantly blink. I don’t know why or what it means, but they blink. They keep track correctly, but constantly blink. The leather is very rubbery. The fit and finish is nothing to write home about. The plastic in the A-pillars actually came on clipped when I hit a bump and started vibrating and rattling. If you hit a bump, it sounds like the car is falling apart. Literally. Everything rattles. EVERYTHING. I do not recommend the 2018 Compass as a rental, much less a purchase.
Cute car

Very cute car and it drives well, I got the 4x4 in dark gray. I was a little disappointed that I got a faulty car but the dealer was able to fix the problem. I got the car on a Friday evening, by Sunday the car was having issues! The engine turned off on me and all the interior lights were flashing, I tried turning the whole car off but it wasn't turning off. I waited and was bale to turn it off and back on, the engine light came on after that and the car did that 3 times. I took it back to the dealer Monday morning because the service department was close Sunday. I did not get to experience the joy of driving my new car, that was terrible! When I got my car back a week later my "brand new car" was all dirty and dusty on the outside and when I drove off the tire pressure and windshield fluid lights came on! It was so disappointing! I am still bothered by it. I know that the car issue was not the dealers problem but I feel like they should of been more understanding and should of contacted me the same week I took my car in. I contacted Jeep and the manager emailed me and said they would talk to the dealer and make sure that the car gets fixed but that was pretty much all they did. I am very disappointed with this car now. I would never buy a Jeep again.
