Overview

2022 Jeep Compass

The 2022 Jeep Compass presents a mixed bag for the used car shopper. While it boasts a respectable NHTSA safety score, particularly in side impacts, its reliability record is marked by an 'Average' verdict. This is influenced by multiple recalls, primarily concerning electrical systems and safety features, alongside a significant number of Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs). Despite a lack of consumer complaints, the sheer volume of TSBs suggests potential for early-life issues. Fuel economy is competitive for its class, but potential buyers must be aware of the electrical system's documented vulnerabilities and ensure all manufacturer remedies have been applied.

Critical Failure Risk

Recalls have addressed issues with instrument cluster display illumination and adjustability, impacting driver information visibility. This points to potential software or module integration problems.

Early detection can help you avoid a $300-$800 repair.
