Used Jeep Compass for Sale in San Jose, CA

I had a Jeep Compass 2015 for two weeks and it was just bad. I picked the Jeep over others in the line I could choose from mainly because I had always want a Jeep and it was white colored, I figured in the AZ heat a light colored car would be cooler than the dark colored ones. The first thing I noticed was that I sat very low to the ground for a SUV. My Tucson sits higher. You also sit low in the car, at 5'6" I could not see over the windshield wipers to see the hood. The wipers also took up a lot of real estate on the windshield. The next thing was the shirfter just wan't straight from park to drive or drive to park, you had to go right and around each gear, that drove me nuts for two weeks. 3rd the Jeep is VERY bad at accelorating, getting into traffic was dangerous. If you stepped on the gas be prepared to wait a few seconds 3-5 at least for it to go. 4th Poor rear cargo space, again my Tucson is much better. 5th small gas tank and average or below fuel economy. 6th The rear door handles are vertical and not horizonal like most cars, what a pain that was. The sit high near the window. 7th Poor storage in the passenger area, not seat pockets. Although I will say the center console was OK. 8th Parking was again just ok. 9th Slanted dash means nothing could be placed on it, like a GPS with out falling down. 10th The damn seat belt chimer would charm non stop even if the passenger un buckled their belt for a few minutes. I would not buy one.

So I got stuck renting this "SUV". I have never liked Jeep. Never had the aspirations of buying one. When the first told me this is what I'd be driving my ears perked up.... Maybe I was wrong... It was a 16 model so I assumed it was going to be nice. Yeah...no. I first got into it and instantly got transported back to the "Stone Age" with the most sub-par interior I've ever seen (in a 2012 and newer). I told myself "It's only for a few days, you'll live". About didn't. Upon leaving the rental place, the car switched from Auto to bump shift manual. Not gonna lie, scared the crap out of me when you're on a busy 4 lane. Back in automatic I start to accelerate. Thought the car was going to die. Now I own a FRS so I was used to a little bit of get-up-and-go. This was more like get-up-and-go die in a hole. In my opinion there is no excuse in such a poor quality vehicle. I think I would drive an Aztek over it. At least the Aztek came with the fold out tent. With seats the make you feel like your sitting on Play-Doh, a dash and center console straight from the 90's (minus Satellite radio), the acceleration of a 2-legged turtle, the comfort of a bed with only a boxspring, the ride like you felt as if your on a surface equivalent to bubble wrap, the amount of blind spots to make Ray Charles jealous....Sorry Jeep, in my opinion this is a failure...only gave 1 Star because 0 wasn't an option.

I bought a 2015 Jeep Compass and loved it at first. It was very cute, very cost efficient and I loved the fact that I could get a Jeep product for that price.. I am now regretting it. 1.) I had the car a few months and something in the transmission slipped and came loose. It was fine when I would put it in reverse to back out of my drive way or parking spot but when I would put it in Drive, it wouldn't actually go into drive. I would have to Put it in park and then put it back into drive a few times. I was not very happy considering that is not safe. 2.) I complained a few times about the transmission because of the "Whining" noise that it made when I got off the gas. I was told by service department that it was just the CVT transmission that was making the noises and that it was "normal and that there was nothing they could do." 3.) When I reached about 25,000 miles, the brakes started squealing. Brakes shouldn't have to be replaced with that low of miles. I went ahead and had them replaced to see if the squealing would stop. We have had them cleaned and scuffed and it still squeals. All other reviews that I have read has the brakes squealing in Reverse but mine only does it in Drive. I took it to the dealership to have them look at it and We were told that there was nothing they could do to make the squealing stop. It would be a continuous problem that couldn't be corrected due to the fact that there is disc brakes in the front and drum in the rear. With the drums, the brake dust doesn't have anywhere to do. So now every time I take it to have the oil changed and tires rotated, I have to tell them to clean and scuff the brakes while it is in their possession. 4.) Don't expect to get up to full speed very fast. Since this is only a 4CYL, it seems to have problems getting up to speed as any other 4cyl's I have drove. Personally, they shouldn't even offer these in 4CYL. I really thought this would be a vehicle that I would love but I have had nothing but problems out of this vehicle. My opinion... DO NOT PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE.
