Here's Why This Jeep Compass is Crap

I unfortunately work on this crap and they are junk get a toyota

Ive had my new compass for over a week now and its got only 400 miles on it and seems to be really reliable.

Another Scotty blowhard video with his Toyota bias front and center

Actually he is spot on. My neighbor and I were googling issues because hers just got towed back home.....her transmission blew and she just paid it off and it is only 5 years old.

What is this guy talking about… my 2015 compass limited edition. Is wonderful! This guy is sort against Italians… I would certainly buy another… 85k miles and only oil changes… it has all the bells and whistles and is quite peppy and durable… this guy doesn’t know what he is saying!!!

I hate mine nothing but problems since I bought it

Rusted and corroded nuts on the strut tower. If THAT is what RUST looks like and if THAT is an issue… Boy o boy. Should check out the frames on Chevy and GMC trucks here in upstate NY, ONLY about 8-10 years old.

this guy has nothing nice to say about any vehicle. And he sounds like a Leprechaun.

I love Scotty, but it feels like he didn’t really talk about why it’s a bad vehicle, other than the quality of materials. Seems more like a video about his hate for Fiat, which I get. Everyone in the comments with Compass’s seems to love them and have had no issues. They’re even reported as reliable vehicles. Can anyone argue that?

What an idiotic review !

I bought a 2007 jeep compass for $2700. I bought it with 120K miles on it, it currently has 176K miles. I did regular maintenance, and got my moneys worth out of it. Nothing serious ever broke.

2016 jeep patriot 2.4L has 260 thousand KMs Replaced: Alternator, Pass.side Knuckle. I'm pleased with it

Scotty i bought a 2021 jeep compass limited with 5000 miles on it for $33000 Canadian Dollars,Heated steering wheel mirrors seats air conditioning seats, 2.4, 9 speed transmission it's still brand new with 5000 miles

All these comments with low mileage jeeps should not bother posting. It's after 120 where things start to show. Where Toyotas don't show wear till 300,000.

I have a 2008 Patriot that has almost 200,000 kms on it and it has been very reliable. Bear in mind, I avoided the cvt transmission and got the 5 speed with the 2.4 litre engine. It's been a decent car and I am still driving it. It's the 4X4 and the only issue has been the body rust around the rear wheel wells and the rear diff has developed a small leak at the driver side output shaft. Still........

You got something wrong going on dude, check a doctor. Tell us you were never an unhappy former Jeep Employeee fired bys some reason.

Okay 2014 Jeep compass. 210K miles. Nothing major and it is still Going well. My son is diving it now. As all mass produced cars some good some bad.

Mine's almost killed me today 65000 miles front wheels lock it up for no reason to take me off the side of the road messed me up pretty bad

Love your videos. Gotta tell you. I have a 2016 Patriot (Latitude) 4x4 2.4L. Got it used in 2017 with 34k on it. Today it has 247k on it. All I've had to do is oil changes (never miss one), and brake jobs. It's one of the best cars I've ever had. On top of that, it still looks good.

hey scotty what your opinion on the 2023/2024 compass with the 2 litre turbo engine

I'm in a '13 compass 191k miles driving like a dream..

I love my jeep 2008 it work good except gas 15 years still in good shape haven t replace much to it

Love my 2019 , 6 speed manual 2.4 L.
60k no problems yet.
Great car great price.
Live in ski country, handles snow like a champ

I just got a 2023 Compass limited with the upgrade package and couldn't be happier, and to think Jeep just (this year) is phased out the "Cherokee" in favor of keeping the Compass models. This is a nice vehicle...and looking forward to lots of trouble free miles

Mines been a long term reliable SUV. 27,000 in 2016

The redesign in 2012 fixed a lot of issues. The 2007-2011 had some problems. After 2014 they are really solid. Chrysler needs like 7 years to tweek a vehicle

Compasses aren't reliable long term. Mine made it to 100k and then it seemed like stuff was breaking constantly. 2 crank sensors, electrical issues, then one time we were driving and water started leaking out of the front dome light (happened once then never again). Then replacing control arms, tie rods, wheel bearings, electronic throttle body went bad, brake lines collapsing on multiple occasions, radiator filler neck cracked, All the pulleys started to go including the alternator. After a new alternator the turn signals would mess with the dash light brightness. then a really fun one was the front sub frame rusting out. The rear sub frame would have been next but the trans went last week at 170k. It took alot of time and money to get that last 70k miles out of it. Ive had cars with 260k miles that required less work.

Guys don’t forget if you’re driving over pass this vehicle is night mares 5 000 rpm it’s not good don’t tell me it’s holding up to 100000 miles I am driving on rental car Jeep compass 2020 it’s piece of junk by the way have only 49000 miles on it

I love my jeep compass. Me and my husband both have one. The only thing I hate is the stop start feature on his car. That’s why I drive a manual. Don’t have to worry about that dumb feature that I have not heard one people that likes it

Cool looking?! Not exactly the first thing that comes to mind! 😆

156864 now

Ive been thinking about buying one of these used down south with a 6 speed manual awd. As a winter beater and replace everything that would typically fail...breaks wheel bearings cv shafts tie rod endsand possibley an alternator. Parts are cheap and the 2.4 seems to be reliable. How long do the timing chains last or are they a belt?

scotty saves me so much time of doing research.

Just an FYI, the thing he’s calling a luggage carrier that is not the case with a Jeep Compass is an Jeep Compass sports. You actually have to pay extra for the luggage rack and it’s actually just two crossmembers that attach onto what he is calling a luggage rack.

Please review the 2023 jeep compass

Hi I bought a new 2015 jeep compass back then I still have it I have 97 thousand miles on it and it’s been a great car I have taken great care of it

I bought a 2018 Jeep Compass 4x4 with 19,000 miles on it and just rolled over 200,000 miles ( lots of Lyft/Uber trips in the past ) and it has used oil since I purchased it but it's not burning or leaking it and I keep it
changed myself on regular schedule , it has surprised me to still be running !!!
It is a beast of weight on starts up hills from a dead stop but my gas mileage is 26 - 28 mpg .

we have a 2017 jeep compass and it has 400.000 miles no problems at all yet and have all oem parts from 2017

2015 Compass was recalled for a problem with a power steering hose. So my question is, who the heck was still using hydraulic power steering in 2015? My 2009 car has electric steering, I mean geez...

gets me to A-B seems good to me

Does anyone here know why the 2016 compass just randomly dies while in idle or sometimes while driving

You saved me from making a 28k mistake. That too bad I liked my 98 jeep

Dude, I tell you once again: you haven't a clue!

My 2016 jeep compass has over 200000 miles on it still runs good.

Funny. We have a 2018 Compass with 80+K on the clock and have not had a lick of trouble, except for that stupid autostop-start system which sucks the battery dry.

I have a 2014 jeep compass with 188000 kms on it and runs great !! I have done periodical maintenance’s like suspension and brake repairs which is common for all the vehicles. The best advise is to do the regular oil services and replace the spark plugs when it’s due (the user manual has the exact periods on when to do the maintenances). The only extra stuff I had to do is to replace the electronic throttle control and the alternator which is not that expensive. If you take care of her she runs great and is a beast in the northern Ontario weather. And please be nice to her, just because it’s a 4*4 don’t make her work too hard 😂.. I love my Jeep!!


Mr.Scotty is great but all he says in the video is his personal opinion on this vehicle. Please don’t take his opinion as the sole reason to make a decision. We all have personal likes and dislikes and Scotty has the same!!

Have A 2018 compass Latitude ( bought for 18k w/ 5 k miles )65k miles on it now, been driving 60+ miles daily for work, had no issue as of this date , drive it now only 4 miles to my new job and yess highway miles compare to town is a big difference. Only electronic issue I have no is the U connect screen starting glitching. Won’t say it’s a bad car but we get what we paid for and as of now I’m happy with it 😊. ( we all got personal opinions )

My 2012s been a nightmare.. never abused it and had to replace the crank and cam sensors more than once...three throttle bodys and still runs bad, and a list of other problems...ill never get this crap again ...

That compass is just a Mitsubishi, thanks to mercedes management destroying, cheaping out and stealing their cash reserves, of Chrysler. the other model 2017 and newer was just a Fiat. I would think a mechanic would know that's a Mitsubishi, thanks to mercedes NOT Fiat.
