Used 2018 Jeep Compass Consumer Reviews
Swamp Jeep
Worst by of my life @Spitzer Motor City Brookpark Road. Brought car August 9, instantly noticed water seeping into vehicle. Contacted salespeople, I am no longer a factor my sale is complete. In for service on August 28, HVAC box replaced vehicle returned on September 6. Before I could make it home more water. Call service schedule to bring vehicle back Tuesday. Well Sunday when I checked my car it was a swamp. Back In for service September 10, no word on the problem. I basically want a replacement or refund. Beware of the Compass bad buy. I should have stuck with the brand you can trust @Honda. Poor quality vehicle for price. I hate the Compass!!!!!!

It's either a lemon or just terrible!
I wanted an SUV for winter and thought Jeep would be great since I see them everywhere, but my Jeep Compass has been in and out of the dealership since the day I brought it home. I have put 1100 miles on it since October. The rest of the mileage is from the dealership having to test drive it every time I have to bring it in. It started shaking in the floor board and steering wheel. Was told that time that one of my tires was defective. They replaced it. Shaking was still persistent. Brought it back a week later (thank god I have a RELIABLE 2014 Chevy Cruze to drive in the meantime), they told me they didn't feel any shaking. This was after it was there for 3 days and all they put was 5 miles on it. I couldn't figure out how they would have went on the highway and back in 5 miles. The highway was 5 miles away to get on it. I was so upset that I decided to bring it to another Jeep dealer. This time they felt the shaking. They told me it was an issue with the tire balance so they did a balance and a test drive. Said it was fine and I picked it up the next day. Driving to work and there goes the shaking again, but worse. Called the dealership again and they told me to bring it in. They took another test drive and confirmed the shaking. They took the tires off and said my brakes we missing bolts and my tires we all defective. Had to wait for an adjuster for the dealership and they agreed to replace all tires and bolts for the brakes. They took it for another text drive yesterday and now it's not shaking until they brake. Was told the need to keep it again and it's not safe to drive until they figure out what's going on. Would not recommend the Compass or the first dealership where I bought it from. They should have inspected the vehicle before it was sold and obviously they NEVER did.

** Beware** Don 't Not purchase yet, trust me!!
I was happy with the 2018 Jeep Compass for the 1st 2 weeks of having the vehicle. The 1st issue was that the radio display was HOT to touch. It startled me terribly. Just to make sure, I went to touch it again, but that wasn't necessary because I could feel the heat radiating from it. 2nd issue was that the language kept changing from English to french on its own (odd I know). I thought I might of touch something and changed it but no that wasn't the case. 3rd issue is the auto/stop function symbol kept coming up on the dashboard. When I first called the dealership (Garden City Jeep in NY) with these issues , I was told to refer to the owners manual...really?? I brought the vehicle in to the service department and they had to order a new radio from the manufacturer and they were not sure why the auto/stop signal was on and they did not know how to resolve the issue (that sure is reassuring). As of this review I have brought that vehicle to be serviced 2x and I have only had it for a month. In addition, the car does not have a smooth acceleration (feels like it pulling or working overtime) and the auto/stop function is pretty abrupt and loud. I know this is not a luxury vehicle but it could be a little less obvious. The joke is when I brought the vehicle in for service their was a new owner there with the same vehicle and the Auto/Stop function stopped working completely on their vehicle, and they had it for only 2 weeks. Pros: its a pretty vehicle and the interior is roomy for a smaller SUV. I am requesting a new lease vehicle because I refuse to keep wasting mileage, time and mental space on a vehicle that is suppose to be issue free, I mean come on its a 2018 model. I highly suggest waiting until Fiat/Chrysler/Jeep iron out the kinks before leasing/selling any more. Specs: 2018 Jeep Compass Limited.

A great little SUV. Practical and a great value!
You won't win many stoplight races - a more powerful engine would be nice. It does a great job in everything else, it looks cool - has an amazing 4wd system (not like most of it's chintzy competitors), feels solid, has a lot of technology, a great radio, and it's safe. A great alternative to a Wrangler Unlimited if price is an issue - or you want something more comfy and better on gas.
