Overview

2025 Jeep Compass

The 2025 Jeep Compass enters the used market with a 4-star overall safety rating from NHTSA, including a perfect 5-star score in side crash tests. Its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission delivers an EPA-estimated 27 MPG combined, making it a reasonably efficient choice for its class. However, the significant number of TSBs recorded for this model year raises concerns about potential underlying quality issues that may not have resulted in formal recalls or consumer complaints yet. Buyers should prioritize thorough inspections.

Critical Failure Risk

The high TSB count suggests potential for various software-related issues, including infotainment system glitches, sensor errors, or communication faults within the vehicle's electronic control units. These can manifest as warning lights, system unresponsiveness, or unexpected behavior.

Early detection can help you avoid a $200-$600 repair.
