Completely new Compass

I was looking for a new daily commuter that I would pass down to the kid in a few years and ended up going with the Compass after test driving just about everything in the subcompact SUV class. I almost dismissed it due to some of the mediocre reviews I had read but I honestly believe these reviews are spill-over from previous generations. Im not saying the Compass is the best thing on the market but it is way better than half the SUV’s that are consistently ranked higher than it. The Compass wins in looks compared to almost every other subcompact and now that it has the new 2.0T and 8speed it performs just as well. There were other subcompacts that I liked better in certain areas but the Compass was the best well-rounded pick. The Mazda CX-5 2.5Turbo was the better performance vehicle but the interior was outdated and the infotainment system was not good. The Dodge Hornet GT plus looked amazing and drove great but there was minimal technology and I couldn’t find one with leather. The Rav4 TRD Off-Road had a mean rugged look but everything else about it was lackluster. The Honda CR-V checked a lot of boxes for me (ie. Safety, space, MPG’s, etc.) but the Compass felt better. Pros: • Exterior design looks great, it literally is a small Grand Cherokee. • Interior design and materials are top-notch. • New engine and transmission make it a completely new Compass. • Tons of tech and safety features. Cons: • $$$$ My Compass (High Altitude w/ Driver Assistance and Elite packages) was $44K… that’s Grand Cherokee / Wrangler prices! • I didn’t notice it until I read this review but there is a significant amount of engine noise in the cabin although the Alpines take care of that. • Engine is better but wish they could’ve squeezed 25-50 more horsepower out of it. • It is on the smaller side of it’s class.

New car is a lemon

Bought a 2023 Jeep Compass thinking that buying a new car we would not have issues. Turns out that all we have had. Driving down the highway with no other cars around the cruise control randomly shuts off. At night the headlights will change from bright to dim with no on coming traffic. Wipers randomly start and you can shut them off. Engine sounds like it has a miss. When taken to the dealer for support they tell us it is functioning properly. They even told us the wipers and cruise control go off because of a blink sensor. I would not recommend any Jeep product to anyone as they are unsafe and dealers do not know how to asses them for issues.

Love My Jeep BUT...

Over all i love my Jeep but i have complained to the dealership about the dashboard lighting during the day not lighting up enough so i can see my gas gage, speed, and etc..., they told me there should be an update to the Uconnect system soon well that's been 3 months ago. I haven't heard anything since. I looked into recalls but no luck there either, i will be contacting Jeep headquarters today to see what we are doing to fix this issues because it is very inconvenient when you cant see your gas gage. Anyone else with this issue had it resolved?

I would like to say that I love this Jeep, but it has been nothing but problems. The sensors keep malfunctioning. I have had it back to the dealer 20 times and each time it is something new that is wrong. The radio has a short in it now and has been on backorder for over 6 month. and the heat blowers for for your feet went out and those are also on back order.
