I should have done my research

I am a Jeep fan and past owner. I had a great experience with my Cherokee but it was totaled in an accident. I came upon this 2011 used Jeep Compass and thought it was “cute”. My hubby will nvr let me live that down. These are not jeeps but carry the Jeep name and I wish I had known that!! It’s a 4 cylinder with absolutely no “pick up” so don’t try to pull out on someone! The cut transmissions in these things overheat and the truck loses power and u are unable to control it. Yes, the transmission..not the radiator. I couldn’t take a 25 min drive to work without it overheating on the hwy! Luckily I bought the extended warranty which covered a new transmission. Please do your research if u are considering one of these. Even the newer models have bad reviews.

Like my Compass

Effective efficient vehicle with comfort extras (I have the Limited). I like the fold down back seats, split to fold in sections. I need to sometimes carry passengers, but more often carry stuff. My kayak equipment fits :--)

not a big fan

Although I bought this vehicle used from a major car dealer. I am not happy with the vehicle at all. I had it back to the dealer a few times and feel I was sold something that did not mirror what the salesman told me we were getting. I gave up going to the dealer for repairs and now go to a small repair shop in my neighborhood. And am totally more satisfied with the work done here than at the dealers...

Not bad for a station wagon

I’ve always wanted to own a Jeep, but this is as far from the Jeep experience as you can get. It’s not rugged at all, and there is absolutely no power or pickup. When the AC is on, the entire vehicle shudders to about half power, and it becomes nearly impossible to get any speed to pass or change lanes. Chrysler vehicles also have a horrible computer problem, and the Compass is a perfect example of this. It had difficulty starting at random times after about three years, and sometimes the power windows would not work. Finally it stopped working altogether, and I had the integrated power module (fuse box) replaced for about a grand. Then there were more problems, likely stemming from the power train box located in the driver side front wheel well for some reason. Seems okay for the moment, as long as everything, including the radio, is off before starting. There have been recalls on other Chryslers for this, but nothing for the Compass. I was going to purchase a Cherokee next, but not now. I’ll never buy a Jeep again until they are independent of Chrysler.

okay

I like driving my Jeep Compass, I don't like the side windshield post in front, it's hard to see around them, without leaning forward. the front seats could be a little more roomy.

Very Smooth Ride

The Jeep Compass is a very smooth ride, you almost feel like you are floating! Very comfortable interior and roomy. I like the body style. Pretty good gas mileage. I would definitely recommend this vehicle to others.

2011 Jeep Compass

This is an all-around good utility vehicle. The Ride is comfortable and the seats are good. The combination stick shift/automatic drive is an interesting feature. Does not pull out in automatic with much power. If the road is slick, you may spin your front wheels. No 4x4 option. Towing capacity is limited. Remember that this is not a Cherokee and do not pretend you bought one. Good gas mileage for a 4 cylinder.

Good Vehicle Early Maintenance

I like my Jeep Compass, but storage space is limited. Also, both my ball joints and struts have worn down and need replacing earlier than usual. Otherwise, it's a comfortable car and very easy to drive. I prob will look into the better models like the Cherokees in the future.

Jeep Compass Review.

I love my Jeep Compass and if I had the money right now I would buy a new one just like the one I have only in the current year since mine is a 2011. It has been an excellent car for us. 126,000 miles and counting. Sure there have been some minor mechanical glitches but that is to be expected when we travel so many miles.
