This car has been problematic since I started my lease. Had several white knuckle moments while driving caused by a faulty drivers door switch sending intermittent error signals to the ECU causing it to run, drive and shift erratically. Drivers door panel accidentally damaged while replacing that switch and after nearly 2 months of being on back order; the wrong one was sent. After nearly 3 months, the door panel has been finally replaced but it only makes the noises from all the other panels in the vehicle more pronounced. High beams flash nearly every time turning on the left turn signal but was told that it was operating as designed. Radio seizes multiple times nearly everyday. Auto-stop feature has a mind of its own by turning off not even half the time it should. Idles very rough occasionally especially after auto-stopping several times as if stalling. It is 2018 and it barely gets 22 miles to the gallon for fuel economy; seriously...my smaller engined, turbo-charged sports car gets better gas mileage using premium. The shifter can be easily knocked or bumped into manual. Everything being controlled by an digital display that seizes all the time makes you thank the engineer that put a voice command button because without it, you may as well not even have air conditioning. You can hear the front doors moving within the frames on the gaskets when driving as if the mounting is weak or insufficient. Carplay often stops music while driving and causes major distractions. The only thing that is consistently good about this Jeep is the dealership that services my Jeep staff.

We purchased our 2018 Jeep Compass in December 2017 and have been in and out of the shop FOUR TIMES! Matter of fact my car is sitting at the shop right now. 15 minutes down the road the car goes into limp mode and won’t drive over 30mph. The engine and transmission light come on and no one seems to understand the problem. Jeep and the dealership have been NO help!!! Please save your time and money and no NOT get the Compass!

Compass Confusion

My personal experience; The day I drove the car off the dealers lot I got less than 3 miles down the road and got a check engine light. Immediately back to the dealer, got a loaner, service department couldn't pull a code so they reset it, (Loaner car for three days). Three months later U connect went haywire, no radio, phone, back up camera, navigation, USB ports all inoperative for 8 days until a fix was created. Three months after that instrument panel went haywire every warning light illuminated, odometer flashing, engine cutoff fails to operate, currently in service for two days with no diagnosis yet and the dealer has no loaners available and will not pay for a rental.
