2022 Jeep Compass problems
The Jeep Compass is a compact crossover SUV introduced for the 2007 model year, and is currently in its second generation. The first generation Compass and Patriot, its rebadged variant, were among Jeep's first crossover SUVs. The second-generation Compass debuted in September 2016 in Brazil and at the Los Angeles International Auto Show in November 2016, sharing a modified platform with the Renegade. It is positioned between the smaller Renegade and the larger Cherokee globally or the Commander in South America.
Concept
Four years prior to the introduction of the production Jeep Compass, a concept vehicle with the same name had its world premiere in Detroit at the 2002 North American International Auto Show. It featured a two-door body, all-wheel drive and a 3.7-liter V6 engine.
The 3.7 L Power-Tech V6 engine from the Jeep Liberty was not available in the new Compass for 2007, though the production model Compass kept the concept car's styling cues and some of its features. The production model Compass also had four doors instead of the two doors on the concept car.

- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-01
- VIN: 3C4NJDBB2NT
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: The digital dashboard lights automatically dim instead of brighten at night so I'm unable to see the speedometer and other instrumentation on the dashboard.

LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-13
- VIN: 3C4NJDBB3NT
- Components: LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Bought my vehicle new at 29 miles. At 4k miles my auto braking light would come in as off. Every 2k it would turn itself off, even though I want the feature on. Even though it says it's off there will be times the warning will alert me to brake for no reason and someone's brake for no reason. I've gone to the dealer multiple times and they wouldn't find a code or a reason why it was doing that, and brush it off like nothing. every 2k miles out would turn off. Now after hitting over 40k miles I started to experience it more often where it would tell me brake. Now something at 49k miles. When I'm on a slight hill or high incline when my vehicle turns off and tries to start it will roll back and not move forward even when I apply the gas like the engine is still off. When that happens the SERVICE HILL HOLDER, and then multiple other safety features have warnings for, SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, DRIVE MODE UNAVAILABLE, ACTIVE LANE MANAGEMENT UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED, AUTO EMERGENCY BRAKING UNAVAILABLE SERVICE REQUIRED, STOP/START UNAVAILABLE SERVICE START/STOP SYSTEM. I told the dealer that had my car for a month at 49k miles about the hill holder and what my vehicle did. No results and still have this issue. When you turn off the vehicle the service lights disappear and can't be read. This happens almost every day now. I replaced my AUX battery after it seems to happen when my vehicle is off and struggled to turn back on at times and it still does it. I'm afraid that I'm going to get into an accident when people see I took my foot off the brake and will get rear ended or if my vehicle is going to brake itself and cause an accident or the other safely issue fail. The stability control can be an issue and drive mode I can't turn off or on those features when those notifications pop up. What can happen, will it eventually do this on a freeway and cause a major accident or when I'm through an intersection..5 different dealers and have no answer... Help

POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-03
- VIN: 3C4NJDCB7NT
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-10
- VIN: 3C4NJDCBXNT
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: While driving the vehicle on a town street, the front wheel/CV joint/axel component failed. As part of this failure, the CV joint/wheel completely separated from the axel making the car impossible to steer. This failure was unbelievable for a relatively new, low milage vehicle. (In another context--on the highway or in busy traffic, a major or fatal accident could have occurred.) Luckily the car was traveling at a rather slow speed on a road where no other cars were present at that particular time. This incident occurred on Saturday, Aug. 10. The car was towed to the dealer State Line Jeep (Somerset, MA) on Monday, Aug. 13. The car is still at the dealership and it is curious that they claim they have not been able to find certain parts or get rims (which were damaged at the car slowed against the curb). This is a major and very dangerous defect in this vehicle. Photos and more info can be provided if asked.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-23
- VIN: 3C4NJCBB6NT
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: The component that failed is the start-stop gas-saving feature on my 2021 Jeep Compass, which I leased in 2021. Initially, the feature stopped working entirely, and the dealer claimed it was due to a battery issue, which they replaced. However, after the repair, the start-stop system began to stall and jolt when stopping at traffic lights. Despite reporting this to the Jeep mechanic, the issue was not considered urgent, so I delayed returning it for further service due to my busy travel schedule and the fact that I rarely drive. I simply avoided using the feature when I did drive. The stalling occurred about four times, but the most significant safety issue happened recently. I was stopped at a traffic light on a busy street when the start-stop feature reactivated automatically. When the light turned green, my vehicle failed to restart, leaving me stuck in the middle of the road with a completely dead car. I had to call AAA for a tow, and I was left blocking traffic in an unsafe situation where I was at risk of being hit by other vehicles. This issue has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center after this incident, and the vehicle is still available for inspection upon request. To my knowledge, the vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives since the event. There were no warning lamps or messages indicating a problem before the complete failure, though the stalling and jolting after the initial repair were clear symptoms that something was wrong. The vehicle has only 14,000 miles on it and is less than three years old, so this issue should not be happening in a nearly new car.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-27
- VIN: 3C4NJDCB4NT
- Components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Collision warning system has malfunctioned more than 3 times and has been brought into the dealer. My vehicle is equipped with collision warning and active braking. Typically when the collision warning occurs if I do not manually hit the brakes immediately it will brake the car for me. The first 2 times it occurred in a residential area at low speeds with nothing in front of me. The system flashed the brake warning when there was absolutely nothing in front of me. In both of these instances I was lucky that there was no car following behind. The dealer was not able to replicate the issue or find an error with the system. The 3rd and most recent time it occurred on the highway at a speed of around 65MPH. During this occurrence there was NO braking system warning on my dash the car system slowed rapidly and almost entirely on the freeway out of nowhere with no cars immediately in front of my vehicle. During this instance there was a car directly behind me and they had to swerve into the shoulder to avoid rear ending me after my car slowed to a speed of nearly 30 mph on the freeway. This put not only my safety at risk but the car behind me as well as we both would have been involved in an accident if the shoulder had not been next to the lane we were in. I brought my vehicle in again and they again were not able to duplicate or find any issues with the system.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-08
- VIN: 3C4NJCBB7NT
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: Few month ago, I received a paper from the manufacturer saying that the car was on recall. I brought the car to the car dealer and they said that there was a problem with the battery. They changed the battery for a new one. Later on, I received a letter from the Jeep saying that they used my factory limit warranty to replace the battery. And saying that next time if I see a form like this it could be a real bill. Around 2 months and a half after, The light of the battery starts flashing and a message appeared on the dashboard saying that I had to park the car immediately because it could stop at anytime automatically. I had to pull over and call a tow truck. We dropped the car to the car dealer. It was on a Sunday. Then, I had my car ready to pick up 5 days later, on the Friday. They told me that they had to change the alternator. I took my car and it seemed all fine. Four days later, the light of the passenger seat belt start flashing and the beep sound started and wouldn't stop. The message was for the passenger to put his seat belt on. The thing is that there was no passenger. I had my hand bag on the passenger seat and I put it away. I turned off the engine. Waiting for 10 minutes and turned on the engine again. Again, the sound went on for the seat belt of the passenger. I turned off the engine again and waited another 10 minutes. This time when I turned on the engine, a message appeared saying that the emergency contact were not available. And another message, that there was something going with the air bag. At this point, I felt very uncomfortable driving the car. I had to drive the car very slow hoping the airbag would not go off. I parked my car in my garage. I called Jeep the day after since it was already closed and they told me to bring the car the week after since they were fully booked with repairs. I could do this as I was traveling to Europe for few weeks. I will be back to LA on the 10 of august and hope to find a solution. Thank you.

LANE DEPARTURE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-05-13
- Crash: 1
- VIN: 3C4NJDFB5NT
- Components: LANE DEPARTURE
- Summary: Several incidents with the screen/safety features. Have had it in for service several times and it is either stated that it needed an update or nothing was found to be wrong. Two times the radio was replaced. I am into the third year of my lease and there are still intermittent problems -- one being that my backup camera alert did not go off and i ended up backing into a car that came out of no where. Also, have gone to back up and pedestrian warning did not work which could have been a real issue if I had not seen the pedestrian. I can get no assistance from Jeep which I have called several times. I personally do not feel that I should have to pay to have the damage repaired from the backup accident when it was caused by a failure from backup assistance. Have incurred many problems through out the entire time I have had the vehicle. Safety features will turn on and off sporadically on their own.

Love it so much! If I had listened to reviews, I wouldn't have gotten it! It has a great motor and pickup! It's so comfortable and provides a wonderful driving experience that's fun! I didn't like the cloth interior on the latitude, so I opted for the Trailhawk! It has heated seats and steering wheel, and a panoramic roof! So much tech! This is the best vehicle ever, and it's so pretty! Get it, and you won't regret it!

It's great to hear that you bought a Jeep! I remember my late nephew had one too. It's always nice to have a connection to a loved one through something like a vehicle. I'm sure you made the right purchase.

I purchased the Compass Trailhawk with great excitement as it was my first new car. The vehicle's appearance was very appealing to me. However, I encountered some issues with the odometer, which reset every time I entered the vehicle. Additionally, after driving 11k miles, the car began to stall every month, possibly due to the engine consuming too much oil or the auto start/stop feature. Despite spending 82 days in the shop during the first 18 months of ownership, the issues persisted, leading me to file a lemon law claim. Jeep promptly agreed to buy back the car, and as of this week, I no longer own a Jeep. While I am disappointed with my experience, I remain open to considering other Jeep models in the future.

If you're considering purchasing a Jeep, I would recommend looking into the Jeep Wrangler. While the Jeep Compass may have some issues with transmission, brakes, acceleration, and engine problems, the Jeep Wrangler is a reliable option. It's important to do your research and choose a vehicle that fits your needs and budget. Thank you for considering this advice.

I recently had to purchase a new car due to an engine failure, so I wasn't exactly thrilled about the process. However, I found a car that fit my budget and needs on the lot. Overall, it's a decent car with some nice features. The fuel economy is pretty good, averaging about 26-27mpg with suburban driving. The 4 cylinder engine is a little sluggish, but it's not terrible for average driving. The transmission has some strange shift points under load and from stopped, but it's manageable. The car doesn't idle as smoothly as my 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L with the V6, but it's still decent. If you're in the market for a new car and can afford it, I highly recommend the Grand Cherokee L. However, if you're taller or bigger than me (I'm 5'11

The 2022 Jeep Compass Limited 4x4 has a stunning exterior and interior design. However, there have been some issues with the transmission and U-Connect system. I am confident that these issues can be resolved and I am looking forward to enjoying my Jeep for years to come.
