The car is roomy for its overall size, but it is an oil burner! A software fix to combat this issue was done by the manufacturer but it was of little help. Recommend changing the oil not later than 3-4 months.

Wiring harness, what?????

Why would a 2018 Compass Trailhawk in 2022 need a new wiring harness with a 5 year extended warranty. I love this vehicle but am very disappointed in the warranty and the fact that it didn't last any longer than this. According to research a wiring harness should last the life of the vehicle (Note: garage kept and all maintenance and service kept up to date). Comments please.

I think the Jeep is possessed!

At 36,000 miles jeep started having these module problems. In the last year and a half it has been back to dealer 4 times They said they are working with engineers but can’t figure it out. The dashboard lights up with every warning. It won’t turn off Then when it finally turns off the warnings are still scrolling through on the dash. Tow truck driver had difficulty towing because couldn’t unlock tires. So had to drag left marks on ground from dragging. This is the absolute worst purchase I have ever made. I think what pisses me off most is that JEEP doesn’t stand behind their product. Obviously if your own engineers can’t figure out what’s wrong there’s a big problem. The last dealer Buhler in keyport nj actually told me I can take the car back it’s running but there were about 38 codes popping up and couldn’t figure out. So they just gave it back and after 3 weeks and no loaner car I just took back. And of course it happens again (because it was never fixed). Now took to different dealer and they are working with engineers and are really trying to figure out and gave me a loaner car. I have a video of the dashboard but. It sure if can upload anywhere. I will never buy another Jeep product and I take every opportunity to to tell everyone I know about the issues I’ve had with Jeep and how they turn their back on their shitty products. You would think that a brand new car would atleast last till it’s paid off But to have to pay $450 a month and not even be able to drive it is friggin crazy. I have nothing positive to say about the company They even give you a case manager but 🦗🦗🦗much like Jeep useless!!!!!!!!!!

Great off road and City

I range 19 mpg driving City, around 21-23 on average. I’ve taken my jeep off roading on intermediate trails and had a blast! Tested out the skid plates a few times, but overall good. Lacks some horsepower and lift for it to be more viable off road. Great for the occasional off roader like myself. Compact enough that it’s easy to navigate in the city and easy parking. Overall comfortable but a bit small on the interior. Interior finishes are fantastic and sound system is great as well. Love the trail hawk. Little to no problems in 3 years, 30k miles, only a fault factory battery that failed in the cold (replaced under warranty)

Smaller than my Santa Fe

It is hard going from a 6 cylinder to a 4 cylinder and it is a smaller body vehicle than my previous vehicle but I needed something with 4 wheel drive capability. Thankfully I won’t get stuck in the mud anymore. Gotta love life in the country
