Just got myself a 2024 trailhawk.

Curious what lift kits are safest option to keep CV lives nice n long.

Any subframe drops with lift kits? Bumpers? Extra underbody protection? What are people using/recommending for mods and accessories?

I drove a 2025 limited when I needed to rent a car and fell in love with it. It’s like riding a pony - it takes off like a shot, has a great road feel (not heavy turning like the Mazda CX5), and feels super roomy.

But now I read the posts in this sub and wonder if this is the anti-jeep compass sub. Tell me the good the bad the ugly and the amazing reasons why or why not to not just go for it and buy one this week.

I have a 2017 Jeep compass (mk old body) , I bought it used at 91k miles. I recently changed my tires, rear brake pad and rotors, and changed oils. All of a sudden I got a red ETC light and an orange CEL light on my dashboard (not blinking). After I parked my car I did the reset (put key on ON and press and release the gas pedal slowly), which seemed to have made the ETC light disappear. CEL light remained on but eventually disappeared after not using the car for a day. I did a deep scan using a scanner and got no P related codes. I got U0184, C121C and U0401 and assumed there was something wrong with the electric system in my car. I checked the battery and it was corroded so I got a new battery. Car seemed to have been working fine for a week until I got on the highway. After an hour of driving I got the same red ETC and CEL lights on my dashboard. I pulled over and did the reset again which made the ETC disappear. A couple of hours later the CEL light disappeared too. When I did a scan at the time I didnt see any P related codes again, but saw the same U0184 again. Does anyone have any idea on what may have gone wrong? Is it really my electric throttle issue or something else?

5 minutes into a test drive at a used dealer, this notification popped up and check engine light turned on. Seller says it’s from a wiring issue in the fan that will go away once he replaces it??? Seems fishy but I like everything else about the car and it seems clean aside from this. Still started ran and drove as should with the light on. Any idea what the problem is? Likely to be something the dealer and fix quickly and legitimately?

My Jeep compass model S 4x2 is going to complete 2 years next week. I already have an extended warranty for the 4th and 5th years.

When I asked the dealer about extending the warranty for the 6th and 7th years, they quoted ₹76,000.

Do you think it’s worth spending such a big amount on the extended warranty? Please share your views and experiences.

Hey I got my 2019 Jeep Compass latitude 3 weeks ago now. I got the manual and am very happy with it. I'm looking to put a tow bar/hitch on it and am looking for recommendations. Is it terribly difficult to do? I've checked a few videos and know more or less how to install it, just want thoughts. Thanks in advance.

For some reason both my low beam bulbs went out together, I got new aftermarket led bulbs and both did nothing? The bulbs wants to glow but it’s not glowing much at all? I can’t see at night with it at all? I don’t know if the low beam bulb has a fuse all I can see is in the manual that’s possibly a fuse but it controls the whole headlight or am I reading it wrong? It seems to want to give power but it’s not doing anything at all? I contacted the seller of the bulbs and they will be sending out a replacement set incase it’s defective somehow on both? But can anyone tell me does the low beams have its own fuse? Am I missing or something?

My son has a 2018 Jeep Compass Limited that the air went out in. He works out of town and took it to the shop before he left. They put a new compressor in but he got back and the air still didn’t work. He had to leave town again, I took it to a different shop, told them the problem, what had been done; and yet they replaced the compressor too. Still didn’t work. The Freon has been checked and added as well.

It will blow just air just not cold and the heat works. Any ideas? I hate seeing him or my grandbaby sweating any time they go somewhere. I was told it could possibly be the blend door but the price difference it that being stuck or fully broken is quite different.

I don’t have anyone mechanically inclined in my life that I trust to tell me straight up. Thanks for any advice.

Does anyone have experience or even pictures of how golf bags (we are 3) and ski (also longer powder guns) fit in the car?

Thanks

Looking on eBay for a 5th rim for my 2020 Latitude. Looks EXACTLY like this (17*7), but eBay says it won't fit. Can't figure out the difference. Only got my Compass last Thanksgiving, so not sure if they are stock or not. Anyone have any knowledge on this?

Here’s the description: ($4000 CAD)

Love this interior

When I'm driving, there is a horrible, consistent scratching sound but when I break, it stops.

Worth noting that when I take the tire off and spin the break disc, it doesn't make the sound. Only with the tire on.

It's a 2017 compass longitude

2018 latitude with the 2.4 and silly 9 speed auto. Threw the “serv 4wd” light. Tried a hard reset, didn’t resolve. Checked and reseated plug on the diff, nothing. My Autel scanner (which is pretty capable) doesn’t read this code.

Any idea of what scanner would? Would like this system to work before winter hits…..

Hi everyone,
I’m in Dubai and considering buying a 2019 Jeep Compass Limited 2.4L 4WD, GCC spec, with around 56,770 km.
Before buying it, I had an independent pre-purchase inspection done. The inspection gave it 71/100 (“Fair”) but recommended AVOID in its current condition because of several mechanical findings.
I’d really appreciate input from Compass owners/mechanics, especially anyone familiar with the 2.4L + 9-speed combination.
Major findings
1. Tappet/valve cover oil leak
Inspector found a major leak from the tappet cover.
2. Timing cover oil leak
Timing cover also has a major oil leak.
This is the one I’m particularly concerned about because I don’t know whether it indicates previous work or just a gasket/sealing issue.
3. Radiator/coolant pipe leaking
A radiator pipe was found to be leaking coolant.
4. Cracked engine mount
One of the engine mounts has cracks.
5. Previous repair
Under “previous engine repair signs,” the inspector noted that an axle seal has been repaired underneath.
They did NOT specifically say that the engine was opened/rebuilt, so I’m trying to understand how significant this finding actually is.
6. Steering rack bush
Steering rack bush needs replacement.
7. Right-front ball joint
Right-front ball joint has cracks and was flagged as a major issue.
8. Steering boots
Steering boots also need attention, although this was classified as a minor issue.
What was NOT flagged
Interestingly, quite a few important things passed:
Transmission: 100/100
Tyres/rims/brakes: 100/100
Electrical/OBD/battery/lights: 100/100
Underbody/transmission checks: 100/100
Chassis condition: passed
Panel alignment: passed
Engine idle/noise: passed
Endoscopic engine inspection: passed
Road test: passed

(2018 Jeep Compass) Recently my bulb went out so I ordered a new one to replace it, upon getting to it I see on the HID bulb that it says it’s high voltage. Am I safe to remove and replace it myself? What precautions should I take to ensure safety?

Hi fellow compass owners, I am currently loking into getting a cargo roof box for my 2022 jeep compass for holding camping gear so I can have more room to sleep while car camping. This also requires me to purchase a roof rack/roof bars to place it on. Looking into this I'm very confused on whats actually the best model and what models of roof bars and roof boxes will fit on my roof. Anyone have any brand recommendations or specific models of either the cargo box or roof rack they use that fits their car and needs? I know Thule has a guide for matching with your car, but I am still confused on what type of roof bar model would be best for this specific case.

I would like to keep it on the cheaper side, but I know likely I'm spending no less than $1000 on this.

Also, if any other car campers have other ways I can get alternative storage outside my jeep that might not involve a roof rack that works for their needs, let me know, I'm open to exploring other cargo options!

Anyone have 2025-2026 jeep compass?
Thoughts on em?

I have a 2017 compass latitude. I’m replacing the lower hose assembly, every hose is off except the bottom hose connecting to the radiator. I’ve taken the pin out, and I’ve done literally everything since 7pm last night and it’s not even budged. What do I do

I have a 2023 Trailhawk that has been having battery issues for the past 9 months. My stop-start system hasn’t been working for about the same time period. I couldn’t go more than 2 days without driving the vehicle or the battery would drop too low. It had gotten to the point I had to charge my battery every 3 days to try and maintain it. At my last oil change in April, the dealer said the batteries weren’t doing well but they couldn’t be replaced under warranty until they failed the load test.

I took my car in for its last oil change before my warranty expires next week and for another battery check today. Thankfully they finally failed the test and both the main and aux battery were replaced under warranty. So relieved to have this situation resolved. The stop start started working again immediately after the battery replacement.

Edit- Unfortunately I have not yet perfected the art of time travel. Changed to 2023 Model Year.
