2018 jeep compass sport
the dash dimmer dont work(software problem, all models) backup screen is so bright at night you have to cover it to see out of the car no dimmer option, my traction control and abs both made noise when driving in just a mist and something was pulling the steering wheel out of my hand for some reason later found out this is some kind self correcting steering but it kept trying to steer me into on-coming traffic so you have to be ready to fight this all the time, check engine light came on 43 miles from the dealer, didnt have it looked at because the company gave me the car and we are usually stuck with them after i told them i didnt want it in the first place, i carry a obd2 reader so i just pulled over and hit erase codes to get the light to go out, i havent drove it since...gas mileage is only about 12.8mpg because you have to run it almost floored to keep a speed of 70mph which is the avarage speed limit around here...i think the stock tires are too small for the size and weight of the car...which wound cause the hydroplaning and from the hydroplaning would cause the traction control system to kick in...not a good car for everyday use...sunday car for grandma maybe...hell my was free and i thought it was so dangerous that i only drove it once in 2 weeks because im afraid to get caught in the rain in it, Edmunds wants an update, company let me trade it in last August 2019, after repeated trips to dealer and all most every brake component replace the anti lock brakes were corrected, but the trans kept falling out of it at about 30,000 miles each time, never did figure out why the electronics went haywire every time it got wet, CV joints were replaced multiple times, it had 96 thousand some odd miles at trade in, not very comfortable for long drives, everything to rest your arms on is plastic, had to buy a lumber support cushion to try and help soften the seat, help a little bit, gas mileage did get a bit better at around 18mpg and highway about 230 miles a tank, I don't have have it any more but I will stick to my original post, maybe something grandma can use on Sunday

Love hate relationship
I got my 2018 compass brand new and have had for 1 year, 8 months. I love the look of that car, and it is easy to drive. However, mine has been in the shop now 4 times in 4 months. There are known engine problems on these cars. Mine started stalling out about 30 seconds after starting to drive. Took it in, said I needed an oil change(was 2000 miles before due) fine. 2000 miles later, stalls out again. Take it in, no oil in it...so they replace the engine...on a brand new car with 15000 miles. Have had the car back for 2 weeks, and just had to have it towed because I get the check engine light and a warning telling me to pull to safety, car will shut down soon. This time supposedly it's a faulty starter relay. I just do not trust this car and dont feel safe driving it anymore. The other super annoying thing is there is really no storage space in this car in regards to the consol/front. Also it sucks that you have to push the console back to use the 2nd cup holder.

Fabulous Compact Jeep!
The Jeep Compass Latitude is a great compact SUV. It handles well, and is especially sure-footed in snow and ice conditions. The interior, even at the standard Latitude trim level, is quite attractive. I recommend getting the safety package with blind spot monitoring and rear traffic alerts. That option is available at a reasonable price, without having to move up to the Limited model. All in all, considering the available options for the price, the handling and drive-ability, and the attractiveness of the Jeep, the 2018 Compass is a great car.
