2024 Jeep Compass Consumer Reviews
Pricing
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.

Long time Jeep owners, but regretting this one.
We have owned many Jeeps over the years. My favorite is our 2020 Rubicon unlimited. Anyways we purchased a new 2023 Jeep Compass Latitude Lux 2 weeks ago. A week into ownership it throws a service transmission code. I took it in to the dealership to have it repaired. They said it's a bad transmission control module. They ordered a replacement, which Chrysler cancelled. Told them to reinstall the original TCM and drive it 40 miles. If it doesn't throw the code again, give it back to customer. I'm sorry but this is not acceptable. I will not trust this vehicle anymore. Only 280 miles on it. This vehicle was purchased as a daily driver and for long trips to save fuel. Needless to say we will not drive it on long trips, since it can't be trusted. The TCM should have been replaced. Instead it's all about Chrysler saving money by not repairing vehicle properly.

2023 Jeep Compass almost perfect
I drove a Trailhawk 3 years ago and it was just ok as engine power, but the new 2.0L Turbo engine is what the Compass needed badly! It's quick for its size and on the highway will get up and fly before you know it. Taken it on some really long trips to Northern Ohio and West Michigan and averaged 37-39 mpg and if I am really easy it will hit 40mpg! The key is how do you drive it, this engine does have a peaky growl when pushed and it does get loud but I'm fine with it because the results it shows. Cold starts it's loud for about 1:15 and then settles down which I believe is by design so let it idle until the RPMs drop off then drive. Ride is buttery smooth even on rough roads and gravel/dirt roads and yes the Limited with all wheel drive had no wheel slippage going up snow and dirt roads in Southern Indiana. AS my son said "This Jeep has Cadillac suspension" and wind noise- ZERO so I am not sure where the writer of this article is hearing his sounds(inside a tornado?) Seats are one of the best features as they are very comfortable and the controls are easy to use. The Uconnect is easy to use so with everything said the oly dislike was the over all cost- 33k is still too high!!!

Throttle body problems
Purchased a Jeep Compass 3 months ago have had the car in for a replacement of the throttle body. Because the car would not go over 20 miles an hour. For the second time, I'm back with the same problem. The dealership is stumped on. What's causing the throttle body to be damaged and not run right? Disabling the car completely.

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. There are a few things I don't care for. One, the black roof. which is standard on the Trailhawk. Two, the exterior color choices are sparse, and are even fewer for 2025. Last, I didn't like having to pay almost $4000 for the elite package just to have GPS navigation. I would like to see many more al a carte options, rather than fewer. 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.
