** Beware** Don 't Not purchase yet, trust me!!

By L Renea written on 11-15-2017

I was happy with the 2018 Jeep Compass for the 1st 2 weeks of having the vehicle. The 1st issue was that the radio display was HOT to touch. It startled me terribly. Just to make sure, I went to touch it again, but that wasn't necessary because I could feel the heat radiating from it. 2nd issue was that the language kept changing from English to french on its own (odd I know). I thought I might of touch something and changed it but no that wasn't the case. 3rd issue is the auto/stop function symbol kept coming up on the dashboard. When I first called the dealership (Garden City Jeep in NY) with these issues , I was told to refer to the owners manual...really?? I brought the vehicle in to the service department and they had to order a new radio from the manufacturer and they were not sure why the auto/stop signal was on and they did not know how to resolve the issue (that sure is reassuring). As of this review I have brought that vehicle to be serviced 2x and I have only had it for a month. In addition, the car does not have a smooth acceleration (feels like it pulling or working overtime) and the auto/stop function is pretty abrupt and loud. I know this is not a luxury vehicle but it could be a little less obvious. The joke is when I brought the vehicle in for service their was a new owner there with the same vehicle and the Auto/Stop function stopped working completely on their vehicle, and they had it for only 2 weeks. Pros: its a pretty vehicle and the interior is roomy for a smaller SUV. I am requesting a new lease vehicle because I refuse to keep wasting mileage, time and mental space on a vehicle that is suppose to be issue free, I mean come on its a 2018 model. I highly suggest waiting until Fiat/Chrysler/Jeep iron out the kinks before leasing/selling any more. Specs: 2018 Jeep Compass Limited.

Jeeeeeep!

I'll start by saying, I've only had the chance to rack up about 600 miles so far, but felt the need to step up to the plate here cuz it's seen a years worth of weather in only a week. Most people need to remember, for WHAT IT IS, this is a good vehicle! Compact, but handles great, the 4 cylinder does quite well for a 4 cylinder, and I've had no issues with the 9 speed as of yet. Doesn't have a cheap feel, everything seems layed out well, and it is a sharp vehicle. In the week I've owned mine, I've taken on dry pavement, heavy rains, and a snowstorm that dumped over 6 inches of snow in a matter of hours. I've even hit pretty sizeable potholes and barely noticed them. The 4x4 system is remarkable, it feels stable anywhere (although I have yet to go off-road... But I'll bet I will!) Mine has quite a few creature comforts including heated seats and steering wheel, remote start, a whole list of other options, and one of the larger screened media centers, as well as upgraded wheels, and was still under $30K. The interior isn't cramped for me at all (I'm 6'1") and is comfortable. I even sat in the back seat, plenty of leg room. It's not the largest or most powerful SUV out there, but it doesn't claim to be. It is what it is... A great, stylish, compact that can get you where you need to go with decent gas mileage and comfort. (By the way, mine is a Latitude 4x4 with the 9 speed auto. Wasn't an option to choose from on the above list. Lol)

Confident on/off roader

By Casey written on 12-24-2017

1st off we(my wife and I) live in northern maine where we get ALOT of snow. At the time we owned a 2015 jeep compass fwd with a standard transmission. Which for us was ok. We put 48000 miles on it with very little issues. Loved that thing. However, we recently moved where the roads aren't plowed as often and needed something better when we woke up and there was over a foot of snow on the ground. Ive had my eye on the new redesign compass since it came out. So one day on my way to work I saw a tractor trailer 8ler drive by with a BRIGHT ORANGE and black trailhawk dangling off the back. I followed it to the local chrysler dealership and took photos and sent it to my wife. She immediately fell in love. Fast forward al and we've put almost 4000 miles on it and love it. No, it's not the fastest vehicle out there. But that's not why we bought it. We love where everything is about a half hour away. So it's a combo of highway/city. Mostly rural. I get about 26 mpg with it. Which I find is decent. Maybe if they put the 2.0 turbo in a couple years it'll be a better performer. For the winter we put a set of Nokian studded tires and this thing is a BEAST. I'm not a fan of the factory falken tires, but not much is out there in the size. so will be changing them out come spring. We dont really plan on taking it crazy offroading but its really nice for the snow which...is half thr year. The interior is very nice, soft black leather, red stitching. Heated seats power seats and heated steering wheel. Stereo system is AWESOME!!! sounds excellent and Bluetooth works flawlessly. Buttons on the steering wheel work great and are very easy to use. We get complements on this EVERYWHERE we go. 4wd system works great. As far as start stop, I see people complaining, if you don't like it? Hit the button. So pros: looks awesome, rides great, great stereo and infotaiment system, 4wd works great. Cons: could use a little more power which would help fuel economy. But really if it wasn't for that it'd be 5 stars from me.

Major problems with 4 wheel drive.

By Paul written on 03-07-2018

There is a major design flaw with the 4 wheel drive and the blue tooth on the radio has a poor connection. The first time the 4x4 had a issue I was driving in the snow and a loud banging noise started coming from under the vehicle. The dealer "fixed it" 2 weeks later it happened again this time they stated that its a known problem with the rear axle engagement with the 4x4 system that causes the driveshaft to strike the undercarriage of the vehicle. I was told there was no repair available yet and they did not know when one would be available however it was safe to drive. 2 days later the issue happened again however this time the rear axle locked up causing me to loose control of the vehicle and nearly miss a accident. At the time of this review the dealer was trying to find a fix with Jeep and the part of Jeep that handles Lemon law initially contacted me and has since been unreachable as they refuse to provide real names, email addresses or direct phone numbers. Jeep does not stand behind their product and this vehicle is dangerous to drive however they refuse to admit anything is wrong. This problem is also currency occurring on a 2nd Compass at the same dealer.

Love the new redesign

By Aim written on 11-26-2017

I?ve had my Compass for about six months now and love it! I loaded it with every option and that definitely changes the experience compared with what others might have in base models. Super comfortable ride, amazing in the snow (used for the first time last week), decent payment.
