This car has had issues since I picked it up. At first the engine would not start. Next there were issues with the batteries. Next my Navi left me somewhere in New Jersey and would not change the location after that. [They replaced the entire radio console which fixed the navi issue. In the process they broke the air-conditioning vent (which I haven't even brought to their attention).]

The issue I've had for the past year is that the "start/stop" feature does not work. Frankly, I couldn't care less about that [I'm not certain that it conserves any gas]. The bigger problem is that the check engine light goes on and stays lit. I have brought the car back to the dealer for servicing these issues and each time when they call me to say that the car is ready for pickup, I drive a block or two and, bingo, the lights go on again! I've had the car in for servicing this issue 3 or 4 times. Same story each time.

Thankfully my lease is coming to an end. I look forward to ditching it with the dealer. Not sure if I'll ever lease another Jeep. I had my eyes set on the Grand Cherokee, but after this ongoing experience, I think I'll move on to something with a better rating. Not surprised that Consumer Reports almost always has Jeep with the worst ratings. I really like the car, but a non-fixable issue is extremely disconcerting. Thanks Jeep.

At 202 miles the ESC (elec stability control) light came on along with check engine light. Took it to the dealership and they have been unable to correct the issue. 1) Some type of light assembly was completely burned up (as in charred). 2) They ordered a new part 3) 3/4 of the service team quits in the meantime and the new tech reports that the computer port is missing the connecting wire and they are completely unable to determine the electrical issue then clear any warnings lights.

Started the lemon law buy-back/arbitration process with FCA once the car was at Jeep for 30 days. It's been in the shop for 53 days now. FCA offered a settlement to replace the car in full.

Special ordered a 2018 Compass Limited 9/17, didn't arrive till 1/18, should have known this was starting off wrong. In the course of the first year would get ESS warning lights saying service ESS system. Would come and go. On 1/2/2019 went to start jeep and it was dead, came out 20 minutes later and it started but with the check engine light on. Made appt with dealer on 1/14/2019. Sat in dealer 4 + hours to hear that they changed the Aux battery but needed a battery sensor, back ordered we'll call you when it comes in, Jeep should be fine to drive just won't start / stop. Get in car and the check engine light is on, go back in and tell the service manager and he says don't worry about it we'll clear it when you bring it back for the sensor. My wife takes it to work the next day and the car shuts off at a light but won't restart. After a few tries she gets it to restart but with numerous warning lights lights lite on dash. She tries the remote start when leaving work that night and it's disabled, driving home warning lights are all on. The Jeep now is parked in our driveway waiting for part to come in, we don't feel safe driving it in it's current condition. Dealer has no loaners available! Lucky we have a 2003 Impala to get around with, we have had zero issues with that 16 year old car, Our last FCA product.
