Wasn’t impressed

2020 Jeep Compass Trailhawk 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
7 of 8 people found this review helpful

While I was in search of my crossover I did lengthy test drive of trailhawk trim. Keep in mind my review is based on 30k mile formee rental (supposedly well maintained by a big rental company) Ride is comfortable and interior is “cool”. Infotainment is typical FCA quality, easy to connect and play, probably one of the best. Drive was...sluggish. Transmission is very temperamental and just not present to drive. Steering control is good but not best. Rear view is cut by big pillar on tail and could use 360 cam. It’s a great looking mini crossover and i am sure some folks love it, but it was just not for me...and used car price was as much as Japanese cross in similar class (I think MSRP is set too high to start)

Tire light comes on for no reason, radio screen shuts off, shifting lights work when they want, seat wearing at 14,000 miles. Have to turn car on and off then back on for everything thing to work again

I absolutely Love it!

I cant put into words on how excited I am about my new Jeep Compass Latitude. I traded in my 2020 Latitude (that I loved as well) and upgraded to the new 2022 totally loaded. All of the features that I had expressed concern about with the 2020 was reconciled and corrected, to make this version PERFECT!

A transmission that cannot decide what to do !

Rented this vehicle for 8 days and must say I cannot recommend it to anyone. Comfort wise it was not too bad (drove it for 9 hours a day). It did ride OK for a smaller SUV and I got decent MPG (26.4 overall). But the transmission was HORRIBLE and unsafe ! Could not tell if this engine is powerful or not because the transmission could not make up its mind what it wanted to do sometimes? Pulling out onto a busy road , it would at times start to shift "all over the place" leaving you with very little acceleration to get out into traffic. A few times this was very scary; because when you have to drive in heavy , city traffic you need to make quick pullouts to get onto a main road. Also we drove this down thru the Smokie mountains and there was no way to turn off the Over Drive. Not a good thing when traversing up and down mountain roads. Kept up shifting (sometimes) and maybe if it felt like it , down shifting (when it got around to it !) I was not impressed by this SUV at all. What a cheap piece of junk
