2014 Jeep Compass consumer reviews

2014 Jeep Compass: I’ve had some issues with my Jeep but overall I’ve loved it. Bought it in 2016 with 34,000 miles on it. Now January 2026 I have 146,000 miles. Seems that things started to happen when it turned 10 years old. Tends to rust in the same places with all these jeeps (lower door trim, lower hatch trim). Had to get both front bearings replaced about $350 each side (suspension needs to maintained per manual timelines then you’ll have no problem), drivers window pulley broke and did repair myself, replaced throttle body myself (my fault for not keeping enough gas in the car). With that, I would recommend going above 3 in RPMs every now and again to teach your throttlebody to open wider. I’ve always kept RPM’s under 2.5. Stereo went out which is common in these models (went ahead and got a aftermarket stereo), drivers power window switch replaced (did myself for $80). Also, check engine light WILL come on if an oil change is needed. If your dash says oil change, you’re already waaaay too low. Now, my coolant is leaking around the cap. Thankfully it’s an easy fix I can do myself (about $100 repair). If you’re handy, these vehicles are easy to work on and if you keep them maintained, they will last a long while. With regular maintenance, I hope to keep it for another 150,000 miles. Oh yeah, 4WD gets stuck on or off sometimes. Not sure why but always seems to happen in the winter. Go figure.

I never thought I'd own a Jeep in my lifetime, then five years ago I bought a used 2014 Jeep Patriot and was amazed by its fuel economy and reliability for a mid-size SUV. Then three months ago my sister needed a car, and I passed the Patriot along to her, so I began doing research to buy another used car for myself and found the 2014 Jeep Compass. Now I'm the proud owner of not one but two Jeeps! I fell in love with it because of its looks as it is "less boxy" than the Patriot and the interior is basically a replica of a car I'm already used to driving. Find it a little bit roomier than the Patriot, love the top of the gate spoiler and the headlights design as well as the focused (foglights?). I can carry a ton of stuff in the back specially since I added the retractable cargo cover for privacy and safety. I definitely recommend this crossover SUV, it delivers a ton for its value. Definitely money well invested.

The 2014 Compass fulfills its basic duty as A Car. It gets you from point A to B without putting up much trouble, at least, in my experience. Sure, the interior may be cramped, especially if you're tall, but the seats are comfortable. The performance is sluggish, the handling is not much to write home about, and the ride will make bumps feel 10x worse than they already are. But, it's still A Car. Gas mileage also fluctuates. Fuel economy, at best, is 28 mpg (on a full 13-gallon tank) and, at worst, 25 mpg, from my readings. Granted, while mine only has close to 56,000 miles on it, it will last, with no rust or paint problems whatsoever, compared to my mom's Silverado from the same year. Overall, it's one of the Jeeps ever.

THE REASON I WOULDNT RECCOMMED THIS CAR IS THAT THE HOOD IS VERY HEAVY TO LIFT, THE BACK IS VERY HEAVY TO PULL DOWN AFTER ITS OPENED, GETS ABOUT 200 MILES ON A TANK OF GAS! THATS MY MAJOR ISSUE EXPECIALLY WITH GAS BEING SO HIGH. ALSO NOT MUCH ROOM FOR PASSENGERS IN THE BACK AS FAR AS LEG ROOM

Other than the fact I have a no start jeep with no bus message and security light blinking I love it anyone had this problem

I may be lucky but my 2014 jeep Compass has 394k on it and still going. She is starting to get a ticking noise in the engine so she won't be long for the world. Overall we have had to replace some spark plugs, a belt, and the throttle body so very impressed. The storage is tight and the fuel mileage isn't great. I notice it gets pushed around a lot on the highway when it's windy. Again though, overall for what I paid for it, I am very happy with how long it has lasted me!

Bought my 2014 Compass online through Carvana and I couldn’t be happier. It’s everything that I wanted. Drives and handles great and is really comfortable. Its just the right size for me and I’m looking forward to trying out the heated seats this winter.

Phenomenal experience on my 2014 Compass. The problem is the radio has not held up. There is a short/ electrical problem. This has been a problem for 2-3 years. The doors wore out the electrical wires inside the car door out the speakers work.

This car looks brand new, it’s been kept well. 64,000 miles!!!! Due to the pandemic there is a demand for used cars, I came across this one and it was a phenomenal price for the LOW mileage, no stains/dirt, and carfax is clean!!!

The car seems mechanically sound, nice interior, clean inside and out. Should be fill our needs adequately. Really helped us out of a unpleasant situation.
