Not very much power, consistent over heating problems, on

Not very much power, consistent over heating problems, on my third engine with only 106,000 miles. I would not recommend this car to my worst enemy. I am stuck with a lemon that this year alone has cost me more headaches than any car I have ever owned, financial strain, and the car is still not paid off. I consitinly maintain the car, and it still leaves me stranded.

Worst vehicle ever

Owned three years i drive back roads 25-45 mph has 54k miles. This year I replaced: Battery Tires Throttle body Ball joint Rear bearing and sensors Tie rod Something else in the rear Today it sounds like the entire frame is crunching when I take off. Sound is front middle and rear. Not so sure but I cannot wait to get this jeep off my property. Enough!!! Newest and worst vehicle I ever owned

Still like it after 6 years

Now in my 6th year with my 2017 and still like it. My complaints are simple. Needs larger fuel tank, better gas mileage considering its size and engine, would prefer manual transmission, and get rid of the xxxx engine shut off function. Love the size, comfortable, still seems solid. My only repair was replacement of the satnav unit that crapped out.

Great vehicle but room to improve

Bought the New 2017 Limited Compass right out of the gate in 2017. Exterior styling is amazing (many compliments), love the grille, black roof is sharp. Interior is great with the exception of no place to put sunglasses/phone. Electronics have been a bit glitchy - remote start rarely works, screen freezes often. Wish the shifting was more aggressive. Put your foot on the gas and it seems bogged down in a gear that's too high, very unresponsive acceleration. I always override the auto-feature that turns the car off at idle - a few incidents that I felt were unsafe. It drives really well in snow but I once bent the underbody shield on city streets after a snowfall. It's a pretty, but delicate Jeep. I love this vehicle but I hope some improvements came with the next model years before I buy another :)

2017 Jeep Compass Trailhawk

Had great experience working w/ HUSKER Auto, Lincoln NE. Jeep was priced reasonably, negotiated down some. They worked w/ me on new battery and new screen. So far was very positive experience.

2017 keep compass latitude

My 2017 keep compass latitude has back up mirror defect. Someday it works and someday it doesn’t. I almost got into other cars so many times as the back up mirror gets too slow or black out completely. So I am extra careful every time I drive. And also emergency break system doesn’t work . I never use when I drive since the day I got struck in the middle of traffic. But overall I still love my Jeep for its show and comfortability.

Problems

I purchased the compass brand new. It wasn’t 3 years old and my service airbag light kept coming on. It went to the dealer numerous times finally fixed it. Now I’m replacing the right axel and the exterior battery. I’m still paying a car note. So no I do not recommend this vehicle. I only have 62,000 miles on my truck.
