I’ve had two Jeep compasses now, a 2012 and a 2014. The first I put over 50k miles on with no issues besides regular maintenance, spark plugs and air filter. Had almost 130k miles when it got side swiped. Did very well for someone hitting me at 30 mph. The second has been just as reliable. The gas mileage for these isn’t the greatest but with both I get 22-24 in town and 30ish on highway. They are very popular in the area I live in and I literally never see them sitting outside shops. Just because you dislike a make or a vehicle doesn’t mean I’m going to listen to you babble. Figured I’d write a comment so others are aware.

Everything else was standard, belts, oil changes, spark plugs, brake pads. She’s been an absolute saint and I hope to make it over 200k

Yea I was saying the same tbh I maintain and replace everything. Until it happened to me at 120k miles. It began to overheat and the gasket was blown. The bearing wore out and there’s rust in it all over, I live in San Diego. It has a bad record for a reason.

2014 is right when Fiat/Chrysler took over manufacturing. So, the 2014 was not a bad year for them. By and large Consumer Reports gives the Compass horrible ratings. Just because yours is fine doesn’t mean there aren’t thousands of crappy ones out there.

@@HockeyVictory66 I also take very good care of my car. I change my oil before it's time to... and I rotate my tires with every oil change. It's not the wear its the care too that saves the life of a car. A lady that worked for the place where I bought my car said she had seen many Jeeps engines blown because customers didn't change their oil when they should of. She warned me change the oil before its time to and the Jeep should last me a long time. So far it has been the best car I've owned... and trust me I'm 59 I've owned lots of junk cars before.

[@Thoughtful7754]

Well, 65,000 miles on it within six years, you hardly drive the thing. Lol. If the Compass is junk, you haven't aged it enough for it to fall apart. Of course, God forbid it falls apart on you. But Fiat-Chrysler is known to have junky cars with junky electronics, as well as terrible designs (for instance, Chrysler 200), and various other problems. You could have found a gem that was made better than most of FC's cars, but, still, you've hardly got any wear on the thing!

Scotty, in the early days, when jeep started making and selling, the products were spec'd out by design engineers who knew what made a vehicle robust. Today, the spec sheet comes from the marketing department, not engineers. The marketing and sales group tells the engineers what they want for a product. The engineers just do what they are told. This happens again and again with products that have achieved a brand status in the marketplace. Products that were once well designed by founders with a passion for the product over time are replaced with sales and marketing types who know nothing about design. They cheapen the product and leverage the brand name to maximize profitability. Steve Jobs talked about this. Its not uncommon.

The experience you have with a vehicle is often related to how you treat it, maintain it, etc. It's likely to last a whole lot longer with decent treatment. One suggestion though! A half century of driving, flogging the ponies, etc., tells me that you are changing your oil & filter unnecessarily often. Since you are using synthetic, I can't imagine changing it more often than every 5000 miles or 5-6 months.

So I ended up taking it to the dealer where I got it from and after a week being at the shop they told me I needed an entire new transmission.

I've been driving a 16 compass sport for a few years now. Bought it with about 32k miles on it for about $17k before all the taxes and fees and so far put it through a lot of abuse. It currently has 100k miles and still running strong. Grant it, it doesn't have some of the nicer finishes that an equivalent Rav or Subaru would have, but those cars with 70k miles were going for 25k and up. At this point, you are looking to get a second mortgage just to afford one of those. Yes, price does matter. Especially, when you are talking about spending significantly more on a car with bunch of miles on it. I mostly do my own repairs and the only difficult part to replace so far was the rear motor mount. Everything else is very accessible and the engine bay has plenty of room to work in. If I had to choose again, I would choose a compass with 35k miles on it over another car with 100k miles. I've seen cars killed with poor maintenance and it takes a lot less than 100k miles to mess something up. If you are talking about having enough money to buy brand new, I would absolutely agree. Buying a slightly used toyota would be the way to go. Heck, I would go back to VW in an instant. But on the used market, you are talking at least 2x the price.

[@letour32rr]

So, as an owner of a 2016 Patriot (same as the Compass, just different body), they were designed in the Daimler days and since Fiat took over, the Patriot/Compass only got better. The 2011 facelift included much nicer interior materials, better sound deadening, and better overall fit and finish. Also, they included the availability of the Hyundai 6F24 6 spd conventional automatic. With that, I’m sitting at a 8 second 0-60 which is more than quick enough. While the gas mileage isn’t great, the 4x4 system in these leaves the Toyota Rav4’s system at the bottom of any steep and loose climb. With the same brake lock differential system as the Wrangler, it keeps climbing even if only one tire has traction. The Rav4’s system seems to be more of a selling point than actually functional in any kind of offroad condition. Also, the Compass/Patriot tucks away critical components underneath and offers high strength steel skid plates. The Rav4 leaves everything dangling, ready to catch on the first branch or rock taller than 6 inches and get ripped off or damaged. My point is, yes, the Toyota is more reliable, better MPG’s and interior room. That’s because it’s a car and meant to be driven like one. The Jeep offers more offroad capability than anything else in that category. It is the “Jeep” of Compact SUV’s. Jeeps have always had worse mpg, on road driving dynamics, and interior room than their competitors because their focus was on being the best in their respective categories offroad. The Compass/Patriot is no different. I will say though, if you don’t plan to go offroad ever, get the Rav4, you’ll be much happier on your grocery run.

[@hakbug]

I found such a good deal too! But upon viewing the cars history, the first owner owned it for 9 years and the second for 5 months. That made me wonder wtf?
