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!!!!!!

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.

Bought a 2018 compass latitude new, at 28k miles started burning oil. Didn’t know until I checked the dipstick and there was nothing on it. The dealership tried saying I was responsible if it needed a motor because I was doing the oil changes. Come to find out it’s a common issue with the 2.4 motors and then had them do an oil consumption test. They said it didn’t consume enough to put a new motor in even though it was burning 2qts a week. Got corporate involved and finally after three months they scoped the motor and all the cylinder walls were scored. It was a candidate for a new motor but they were on back order. Finally had enough and got a new car and terminated the lease, there problem now. On top of that problem the car also had shifting problems were it would shift very hard randomly and it shut off on the highway once. Save yourself and stay away from these cars. Nothing but problems and many reports to back it up
A few problems but overall OK

I had a 2018 Compass for about a year. I chose it for highway comfort and cargo space. It was comfortable on the highways, and handled potholes and frost heaves with ease, and delivered great fuel economy. I was getting about 31.5 overall MPG and on long easy trips it got into the high 30s MPG. Since I drive a lot (35,000/year) I really appreciated the fuel economy. I had two problems: 1) It consumed a lot of motor oil. It improved from 1000/qt to 3000/qt over the course of the 30,000 miles I owned it, but I still consider that excessive. While I expected a new engine to use some oil at first, I also expected it to drop to zero oil consumption after a few thousand miles; that never happened. In the eternal scheme this wasn't a crisis, but it meant I had to add a quart between oil changes because it couldn't make it that far. UPDATE: Jeep came out with a software update that solved the oil consumption problem. Apparently valve timing was sucking oil into places it shouldn't go and the update solved the problem. It was a recall on the earlier years of the 2nd generation Compass and became part of the initial programming since. 2) The other was a grinding noise from the drive train between 30-45MPH. My dealer did a software update that moved the sound up to about 45-55MPH where road noise pretty well drowned it out. I never experienced any performance problems. The OEM tires weren't very good in snow, but LRR tires probably can't be. I chose studded snow tires for winter which provided much better snow traction but also lowered my fuel economy by about 2-3MPG overall -- that's a significant drop. Regardless, I appreciated the better traction and I consider the MPG loss was an acceptable trade-off. You may have noticed this review is written in the past tense. That's because this car only lasted a year due to a car accident. Sadly it wasn't a really hard hit and the vehicle wasn't hurt that bad, but all those airbags deploying turned a minor accident into a total loss. While the side airbag may have saved my Wife a headache, the under-dash airbags bruised my legs pretty bad, took about a month for the pain to subside. Would I buy another? I did -- a 2019 -- mostly because I have a good relationship with my dealer. The good news is that my 2019 does not seem to use as much oil as the 2018. I'm at 2500 miles and the oil level has barely dropped on the dipstick. The 2019 still makes a grinding noise, but only at speeds less than 30MPH where its hardly heard at all. Best of all the 2019 seems to be delivering even better fuel economy--about 1MPG better overall. Conclusion: Its a good vehicle, but if you buy one, keep an eye on the dipstick! UPDATE: I'm now at 30,000 miles on my replacement Compass (2019 )and so far it's not using any oil. UPDATE: Although I no longer own my 2018 Compass, I was notified of a recall to fix the oil consumption problem. In conversation with other Compass owners, the recall seems to have solved their oil consumption problem. UPDATE (2/17/22): I'm now at 80,000 miles. Still no problems. UPDATE (2/17/23) I'm now at 110,000 miles. Had to do a brake job. Otherwise no problems. UPDATE (2/20/24) As noted above, my 2018 Compass was wrecked and replaced with my 2019 Compass. See my review there. I won't update this thread again since the vehicle no longer exists.
