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.

Best car I have ever owned

I like my 2024 Compass Trailhawk. But first, I need to politely disagree with the Edmonds reviewers. The Compass is 4WD, not AWD. When in “auto” mode (the default), power is distributed to the rear wheels only when needed. This is 4WD, which saves wear and tear on the drivetrain, and helps a little with fuel economy. Further, it has many more features unique to a 4WD vehicle, such as, 4WD lock, low range, hill ascent/descent assistance, snow/mud/sand/rock settings, and around 9 inches of ground clearance. It also has underbody protection (skid plates). While I have no plans to drive off of cliffs and through rivers with my Wrangler-owning brethren, it is good to have some of those capabilities available if needed. Edmonds also points out that this is not the most up to date styling. True. If that’s a concern, look at the Chevy Trailblazer, Honda, etc. The Compass looks like it’s from the Jeep family and that’s fine with me. The 200 HP 2.0 turbo four has plenty of power to get me over Colorado’s 10,000 ft. passes, and fuel economy is very good. I’m getting 28 MPG in town, and fully expect mid 30s as some have reported on road trips. The heated and ventilated seats are great features to help cope with temperature extremes. There’s lots of technology. Some is useful, and some is not, and can be turned off and/or ignored. WiFi with Alexa? No need. Lane departure warning? No need, turned it off. Blind spot monitoring? Nice to have. Cross traffic detection? Good to have. Forward collision detection? Too many false positives allowed in the algorithm. Learned the hard way and turned it off. The 10.1 inch screen is more than adequate for the backup camera and the GPS navigation system. I strongly prefer GPS navigation over Google Maps, since the latter only works well when there is cell phone coverage and lots of data available on your phone contract. There are still many areas in the western US where there is no cell phone coverage. I do wish that TomTom (nav provider) would keep the residential posted speed limit data up to date. I think Garmin is superior in that regard. If you are a soccer mom or are shopping in behalf of one, this may not be the optimal solution. Take a look at the Chevy Equinox EV, you might like it better. For me, the Compass Is a great car, best one I have ever owned, and I am very thankful for it.

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.

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.

Exceeds our expectation's

Our 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew was getting a little long in the tooth, this vehicle serviced us well and it was time for a replacement. Our needs had changed somewhat, and we didn't need such a large vehicle. The Jeep Compass fills the bill as far as passenger comfort, ride quality, and overall performance. It's cargo capacity is also right on target for us as it will accommodate a medium sized airline dog kennel with ease plus have room left over for a weeks worth (for us) of luggage for 2 people and a container for dog accessories (food water toys grooming, etc.), and still have the rear seat upright and available for passengers. We have the Latitude Lux edition with the Driver convenience package and have found it to be equipped with everything a person could ask for in functionality. I have experienced none of the complaints or shortfalls that the editors of Edmunds have claimed. No excessive engine noise, No excessive body roll, No excessive road and wind noise. Once settled in the drivers seat it is a pleasant driving experience for me. The Jeep Compass Latitude Lux Exceeds my Expectations. It comes Highly recommended.
