I purchased a brand new mind you 2018 in Feb, this car today has been in the shop 4 times. the auto shut off light comes on but the thing keep popping up is drive to safety engine will shut off soon. first time it happened had to miss a day of work and have it towed to the shop they kept it a day said it was fine brought it home here we are again same thing, again had it towed into the shop they kept it a week gave it back said it was fixed, third time i drove it to the shop as i was not waiting like last time 4 hours for their tow to pick it up again they said they fixed it, now here we are on # 4, I picked it up on a Friday, shut off light came on Monday back to the same issue. and they have had this car this time for almost 4 weeks. I have made two payments on a car i am not even driving half the time. I am currently working with Lemon Law laywer's to give this car back. Never again. I had a 2002 Mitubushi that I did not even buy new had it for 8 years and it was only on a two truck once. I thought I would get a new car since it has been a while for me, I should have kept my old car. no payments and was never in the shop this much.

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!

I got this car at the end of May and now it is the beginning of August. First the Radio started to cut off for no reason. Then came all the other problems: Engine Check Light, Transmission Light, Car cutting itself on,etc. Please do yourself a favor and don't purchase this car. I'm going to get a Hyundai because I never ever had a problem with their cars.

This car does fine on a test drive, after that it isn't worth owning. The Compass is very noisy, low quality rubber around doors that falls off often, very rough shifting, has super small pedals that are far too close together causing feet to catch on other pedals. The clutch pedal sticks up too far but needs slammed against body to engage. Dealer will offer to put a block on pedal: which only raises pedal further to driver. There is no head room getting in and out so you will constantly bang your head. To put the final nail in this junk, the resale value is horrid even with only 5000 miles. Walk straight past this make and model, do not even give it a moment of your time. It is a decision we fully regret and are now stuck with: no option out of it with out adding thousands of dollars more in down payment. ****UPDATE = GOT RID OF IT!****

I love my new Jeep Compass. 35 hwy and about 26 around town. Feels very solid and safe on road and off. 6 speed stick is easy and fun. Engine is why I went Jeep, amazing engine, Tigershark rocks, very smooth and quiet, shines down low, pull itself up mountains in Montana with ease. Seats are great.
