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!! Thanks to 1A Auto for this video. Great information.

1A made my life so much easier in prioritizing the repairs. My local auto school provided labor and diagnostics. That helped a great deal.

I've had zero issues with my 14 2.0 manual transmission. 170,000km runs perfectly did rims and a nice rice muffler Lucas oil and it pulls my camper through the mountains like a mule I love this car it rips😎

Thank you. Videos like these are exactly what we need more of.

Thank you. Changed my mind about buying one of these.

You were spot on . I would never but a jeep other than a willys . My brother in law did and even with a Warranty it still cost 1300 dollars to replace the relay box . I had a 86 Chevy pickup for 30 years with a 464 big block .

Wow! 1A Auto, thanks for those 5 problems on the first generation of Jeep compass 2007-17. I asked and you guys came through, I have a 2011, I did have the struts go bad on the driver side that was replaced. 4 years ago I had to change the electronic throttle pedal that when bad, now this year 2021 the water pump was leaking and replaced, the vehicle only have 77,000 miles well maintained. Hopefully things doesn't get any worse but the electronic problem underneath the driver side wheelwell that you pointed out got me worried. The quality of vehicles made these days are not like they used to be like back then, they used to care about making a good quality vehicle.

I bought a 2009 Caliber. After thirteen years it is still going strong. Never had an issue with the tranny or engine. Only had to replace the throttle body. My father in law inherited it.

Yea that relay box was causing my car to stall in middle of the road while turning. Almost drove off a cliff. Good one jeep, you got me there! I guess I'll be soldering wire under my jeep for the weekend.

I own a 2007 Compass, living in Canada and rough roads the story can be different. I noticed a lot of rust EVERYWHERE, especially around the rear wheel wells and subframe, I tried replacing my sway bar bushings, I snapped the first bolt I touched. Not only that but the suspension system is not the greatest, I must have replaced every arm and linkage.

Hi, I have a question 🙋🏽‍♂️ I have a Impala LT 2011 . I need a boomper but I wanna know if a front boomper from a Impala LS) will fits in mi car. Thank you so much

One thing you might want to mention is with leaks in the roof, on either side in the front corners of the sun roof are drains. It has a small tube that goes down through the A pillar and exits behind the front wheel wells. These tubes can get blocked from dirt, dust, and such. If they get blocked the water can back up and will leak down through the ceiling liner. Mine leaked right by the center courtesy light, and would drip down on the shifter.

Thank You Very Much for the information, very helpful !!! 👍😃

I have a 2016 jeep compass and the air bag light won't turn off? Any suggestions what to do, instead if taking it to a shop?

My daughter’s 2012 Jeep Compass Sport has the check engine light on. The diagnostic on it is saying it’s the crankshaft sensor that needs to be replaced as her Jeep stalls out while she’s driving it! Finally found a shop that is qualified to fix it & hoping that it’s not going to be too hard to repair 🙏🏽🤞🏽Thanks for the vid!

Hello friends, excellent video, I have a 2014 jeep compass, the air door opening and closing actuator is broken, he repairs it, but I realized that the bar that makes it turn rotates more than it should and breaks the actuator inner part (to open the door it should only rotate 180 degrees, but I find that it rotates around 230 degrees and that causes the inner gear of the actuator to break). For now, leave it open permanently... my question is whether the problem will be with the actuator or the signal it receives? Thank you so much.

Good work,. Great exsplanations.

I have a jeep compass 2016 latitude i’m trying to find the upstream oxygen sensor I found the one under the hood but I can’t find the up Stream sensor if you can help that be amazing thank you

I had a 2011 limited UK Spec 2.1 Mercededs Diesel. 104000 miles when I replaced it with no problems except the water pump which failed at 85000. It's expensive linked with powersteering pump and not an easy job to do. I replaced the 2011 model after 4 years with a MY 14 and the same UK spec diesel engine 5 years ago. Now with 92000 miles no problems except for the same waterpump failure at around the same miles an annoying squeak from the rear suspension, and am now about to replace a rear wheel bearing due to noise . I 've no real complaints with the Compass except for the expensive water pump, it has good towing and off road capability, and returns around 41/42 MPG in daily use, The interior and body work finish is good , reliablity is excellent and servicing costs reasobable. A good vehicle for the money and even better value now they are getting older,

Surprised you didn’t mention front lower ball joints that only last at best 50,000kms.

We got a jeep 2017 compass latitude 2.7 liter . The turning blinkers blinks two times and they blink rapidly after that is that normal for this model? Both the left and right do it.

I have a 2014 Jeep Compass. I got it at 30k miles and am going at 88k right now. So far I have had to replace standard time things like a headlight bulb and ac. Recently I replaced a ball joint. The only real issue I have is this noise when I break going over a speed bump or turning a corner, like a squeek but my breaks are fine. I live in Florida and to maintain it I wash it 1 a month.

Any input on the constant window issues… current issue front passenger window will go down but not up, I replace the switch I replaced the regulator now the window doesn’t go up or down🤷🏼‍♀️

Im looking at a 2017 jeep compass with 5k miles on it. the test drive is tomorrow. should I buy the suv and would it be ok before the problems set in.

I have noticed that in 2007 jeep compass has bigger problem of rust as well, the rust other the car, and the suspensions are jst too poor. I love Jeep so much but i hope they fixed that in the later models.

tengo 1 Jeep Compass 2012 con 120mil km, y solo 1 de las fallas que mencionan me ha pasado, los amortiguadores delanteros se los cambie, recientemente se me calentaba un poco y le cambie el housing de los 2 termostatos, muy buen carro sin lugar a dudas.

Dear, I have a 2014 jeep compass, 2.0 petrol vvt and have not found any technical information and history on this type of jeep engine. Do you have something to tell me or point to some links? Thank you very much

had two censors replaced in right front passenger wheel and I turned off the traction control on the dash. how do I turn traction control back on?

What about prop shaft and universal joints/cv joints going?? 2007 is 14 yrs ago!

I Have A "2008" Jeep Compass" For Seven Years I Ve Fixed Many Things But It's Running Well There

2011 jeep compass shuts off well driving. With a code to replace fuel leak sensor..replaced and still shutting off any suggestions??

What years are considered 1st generation and is 2016 jeep compass latitude a dependible vehicle??

I just bought a 2015... so this is helpful....

Relays and box look good no corrosion. Could it be a bad relay . Have 12 volt on red wire at relay

Just replaced my TIPM module on 2016 compass, had to redo it a week later when it failed again, defective part put in 1st time. Then read a bunch of TIPM issues with several Chrysler models.

I have a 2014 compass high beam light won’t work just on one side. Tried replacing build nothing any thoughts

Thank you so much

Amazing thank you

muito obrigado.

We just hot a 2015 fir my son. When he turns on a signal the headlights go off but he can put them on bright. However only the bright ones will work, not the low beams. Kill the car restart and all is fine. It's used, under warranty but all they did was replace all the bulbs, they said.

I have a compass 2011 2.4lt awd is there a way I can email you I have a few questions about my jeep I'm having trouble with

Any idea why my 4x4 and seat heaters stopped working? Not a fuse

There's four rainwater drain holes on the sunroof that get clogged . And I clean them with some weed eater line and some water or air . . The front ones come out in the fender area and care difficult to spot from that angle but you can feed the line thru the top by opening the sunroof and looking with a flashlight in each corner. And the rear ones you will find the holes exit just under the roof where the rear hatch closes.

On the manual transmission, it is the input/output shaft bearings. Symptom is transmission noise when the clutch is released. If noise when the clutch is pushed it is the throwout bearing. The biggest problem that I have is bad quality replacement parts, especially half shafts that fail after 5,000 km. It is hit or miss whether a non-OEM replacement part will last. Latest problem is a replacement hub that is out of alignment causing a wobble on the rotor.

Most of my Compass MK drivers friends have a vibration when the gear-box is on drive mode and the foot is on the brake when engine running.

what's is best suitable Carplay for this generation

2014 with 175k and still going strong. Have had to replace two throttle bodies. Of course mine is the 2.0 Liter 4.

I have a lot of rust on my 2010 Compass and bad suspension! I'm in Canada. A other problem I notice since the I have my Jeep is I'm rolling and stop the vehicle go to the stores go back in side the jeep and the Jeep won't start! I have to wait a couple of minutes and the vehicle will restart. My Jeep is manual 2wd 4.4 engine.

Hi I changed the transmission because the old one was loud. I bought a used transmission and when we tested it, whenever I put it in reverse, it shakes. The shaking also happens when I shift it into drive. So then I changed the transmission again, but now, when it’s on drive, it stays at 1 and it doesn’t continue shifting to 2, 3, 4, 5. It is a 2007 jeep patriot. What do I have to do for it to work? Do I need to change or reset something?

48k and ive replaced the fuel pump and the TIMP and still get that evap code...waiting on chrysler to do the n0x recall work (Jeep Compass2015-texas)..its been a constant something

Soo,is it mostly on the automatics or all of them?!? I'm looking at a 2015 compass sport 6sp with low miles,what yall think?

Ok what about the mysterious p0138 after changing 02s and everything

Notice how they didn’t say “these are great cars” and “all cars have their problems.”

I have a Jeep Compass 2016 I located The upstream oxygen sensor under the hood I believe but not certain The downstream O2 sensor I believe its behind the left rear tire it would be great if you could help with a video thank you so much for your time!

I’m from Brazil. Anyone can tell me if the shock absorber Of journey 2010…13 can be used in Compass Of this year? Because i see in a photo and i thinhk They’re equals

Hi. Your explanation is impressive. I own a jeep compass 2019 a year ago and one day morning suddenly my car showing 5-6warnings. Like "service parking break", "service ebd", "service abs" etc... Can you explain? I can share you the image showing errors.

My daughter had a 2011 Jeep Compass. It starts most of the time., but lately she can drive across town then has to jump it to get home. Sometimes she can drive it home then she cant lock the doors. ABS light comes on sometimes. Has nee battery and new clamps on top. Alternator tests good. How do we fix this?

Really Chrysler? I hope the genius who put relays in that position was fired

How can u fix the trans cooler line problem when I’m on the freeway if I go over 65 mph the trans cooler line light comes on and I have to sit for 15 mins

HELLO I HAVE A JEEP COMPASS SPORT 2.4L YEAR 2014, THE SCANNER GIVES ME AN ERROR CODE "U0101", THE ERROR APPEARS NOT FOLLOWED, WHAT CAN I DO TO SOLVE IT, GREETINGS FROM ECUADOR

Just a note on one of your suggestions. NEVER use RTV/silicone sealant on body exterior. It will make it almost impossible to paint the vehicle. Especially in the area the rtv was used. Only urathane sealants should be used.

From 2007 to 2017 they used very different diesel engines. 1st gen used vw 2.0 engines, from 2011 Merc 2.2 om651 engine

I replaced the fuel pump on my compass however i can't seem to find a video on the location of the fuel strainer can anyone point me to the right direction 2.4 2007 not 4wd

I own a 2016 Jeep Compass, its speed is limited to 130 only and the rpm counter goes up more than 4 and the transmission does not change to the last gear? When I press the gas pedal, the rpm increases and the engine noise increases.

thank you very much mam. nice video and nice explanation. I'm from Georgia(the country) and last year I purchased 2013/12 jeep compass 4wd, with small damage (only rer bumper and rear right light were broken). it was little bit rusty from bottom but who cares. it had 164000 miles when I purchased and now it has 174000 miles and runs perfectly. the only major issue, which I met was drive shaft center bearing, which is impossible to change, if broken.... so, I've purchased whole driveshaft and change it.... so, what to say - cheapest car to purchase (comparing to the income in my country), cheeaper service and cheaper spare parts (Chinese or Taiwanese details for drive terrain - working niceely). all in all, nice car and another plus - it consumes regular gasoline, which is really benefit for the owner. +1 subscribe and respect to you.

My compass is at 125k miles and now things are starting to happen. I’ve had no issues fr besides replacing parts that normally should be replaced. But recently my compass has been overheating and I’m trying to figure out why so I can go ahead and get the work done before more damage is done to my baby

Acceleration on this car is terrible at felts and when that happens engine light comes on and I let it sit for a couple weeks and engine light goes off any ideas what causes that ?

"PLEASE DONT REMOVE THESE" lmao, well when I only had my compass about a month, I was on a job and an old lady needed a jump. So I go to help, and not knowing under my hood, I look at the ECM and say, oh that must be some new battery terminal and disconnected it. WOMP, all shut down, error codes all over the dash lol. And the throttle was really spotty. Fortunately, all it took was resetting the system and the codes and I was good. So, the battery is covered by a plastic housing for those who dont know :D

I have a 2014 jeep compass and the engine light is on...and it's not moving at all ...but it starts good

The pickings were slim. We just got the 2020 Jeep Compass Trailhawk. I'm hoping all the problems are fixed in that one. Friend (who works for jeep) said that the most common reason for repair is that stop/idle restart. Said if/when you turn it off and that 2nd battery goes dead it then sends a bunch of error codes to the computer and starts causing all kinds of problems. He told us to NEVER turn it off. I hate it though!!! its all BS stuff we don't need.

It was really fun when water started pouring out from the dome light after a heavy rain

is it a good car? They sell me one year 2007 with 170 thousand km

Surprised blend door actuators are not listed.

Every six months use a hose and nozzle to clean the sun roof drains. They have small diameter pipes and if they don't work water will drip inside through your dome light.

What are the current issues 2019 Jeep compass trailhawk please

manufacturers should be held accountable for rusting undercarriage components. The body does not rust. why the hell do they not protect undercarriage parts from rusting?

My antifreeze keeps leaking out. Several shops could not find any cracks and can't see why the antifreeze keeps running out causing it to run hot. I need answers please. Thank you

Curse those things to Hell. I had a 2007 Compass. It had almost complete electrical failure, in that basically the only electrical systems that worked perfectly were the seat heaters and the stereo. Traction control/stability control/ABS would randomly go haywire so I had to pull the breaker that controls that system just to make the thing drivable. Since that system was disabled, the CVT transmission also didn't work properly. Rear lower control arm rotted away, the alternator pulley failed which took me almost 6 hours to remove and replace. The cam phaser wasn't working and the intake runners were stuck in the open position. To be fair, on the occasion when everything decided to work properly it honestly wasn't a bad vehicle. Fairly quiet, decent ride and handling and fuel mileage wasn't bad, roughly 28 mpg on a mostly highway drive with some slower country road driving. Even the AWD system was fairly competent. I blame Daimler's vicious cost cutting for the numerous problems those things had

For some reason my 2017 will automatically turn on the headlights and unlock itself randomly ,we gone out and lock it again sometime later the headlights are back on and the doors are unlocked again

Where is the AC compressor relay on this vehicle

How bout a/c system 3 compressors rebuild plus 2 new ones.

I thought they used to jatco transmission that's very troublesome

2007 jeep compass headlights stopped working

would these issues be resolved in the 2021 version?

Wish I saw this before getting my compass. What a POS.

My fiance just got a 2015 Compass Latitude. 2.4, cvt, fwd with part time 4wd...and I think it's stuck in 4wd. Anywhere we go, it sounds like a second engine is running under the back seat, with a 1-gear tranny. Just massive winding-up sound like an engine revving, and it's all related to how fast we're going. The 4wd light is off. I don't know what to do, I'm afraid the damn thing is going to blow up when we're going somewhere.

The headrest on my 2016 compass just pops out and no way to put it back in help me find s fix.

My friend has a 2015 and as she drive her car just shuts off. Could any of these issues be the problem?

On the sunroof, they all so have two drain holes . Open the sunroof and on the front on both sides is where you'll find them. Mine was leaking, took a clothes hanger and cleaned it. Stopped leaking.

I must say I am frustrated to no end with my 2015 Jeep compass! I ALWAYS wanted a Jeep sense I started driving. Jeep was my love. I finally got my hands on one at Mark Motors in Sanford Maine! I have had it almost 2 years now and it has given me NOTHING but heart ake and a very empty pocket book! Jeep Just Empty Every Pocket is the truth! Starting the day I drove it off the lot. It had no power and choked. I took it back to the dealer and they said it was a sensor. I had bumper to bumper and was told sensors where covered. Well nope even with the man who told me it was covered they still charged me over 700.00 to replace the sensor. This did not fix the problem! I took it back just a few days later for the very same issue. Oddly enough there was an interesting full on critter nest where critters chewed my wires in just a couple of days.so they rewired it and it was good to go. Then some tire light came on and I was told not to worry about it it was an idiot light. Then the lightning bolt lit up and I had to replace the throttle housing. Then I discovered my driver's side foot well was soaked with no apparent reason that they could tell me. Then this leak of water in the back not from the tail pipe but from the exhaust tank thing with no apparent reason they could give me. Then my brake lights just won't shut off. No key in ignition and brake lights remain on. Dash lights used to turn off after a few minutes of just turning key off. Now the key needs to be removed to turn them off! It breaks my heart all I have done is fix this and fix that on it. My Saturn I never had to fix anything. Just routine matnance that's it. This jeep every other day I'm fixing something on this jeep. Now I turn on heat and push the button to circulate the heat the ac automatically goes on. I get an oil change and in less then 30 days it tells me I need an oil change and I haven't driven it a hundred miles yet. So disappointed in this Jeep compass I won't ever buy another one...

You are Awsome! :) girl mechanic! and thats the big compliment! /// a lot of worth information in one short!!!

also don't forget the d... GASCAP code. That btw doesn't have to do anything with the gas cap. You can replace it 20 times and the code won't disappear....

I do not worry about that because I have bumper to bumper Lifetime maximum care warranty by Chrysler on my 2013 Jeep Compass Sport 2.0 44,398 miles on it!

My 2010 Jeep Compass dies when I stop at a red light. Not all the time but it’s very unsettling when it happens. I’ve taken to several different places over the years but no one can find anything wrong with it. Last year, my horn started acting like it was possessed and it was like a small child was in there just playing with the horn and laying on it. I had to drive around with my horn going crazy and when I got home, my neighbors had thought I’d lost my mind, honking my horn for hours on end. My husband got home and had to disconnect the battery to shut it up. We took it to the auto shop and they couldn’t find anything wrong with it, so I just had them disconnect the horn so I could drive my car without looking like a mental patient. Now, I can’t use the parking break because it gets stuck. Maybe it’s getting time for a new car but I’m gonna have to drive that thing till it completely gives out on me. Hopefully it’ll keep going for a few more years. 😅

I had a 2009 Jeep Patriot and that vehicle was one of the biggest headaches I’ve ever owned. Replaced 2 CVT transmissions and the transfer case by 120k. Also the power steering rack at 130k. It was a pavement princess so no actual off roading. Just sad the quality of Fiat Chrysler is so awful.

What about leaking near the gas pedal burnt my food driving

I have 4 of 5 that issues in my car

I have this problem already, broken pin I just solder the wire 50$

Thank you for sharing. I have a 2012 and it's the longest I have ever owed a vehicle in my inter life. I usually only put 2000 miles a year on it.I keep it clean in the garage.It has 75000 on it now.I am having issues with the heater right now.I checked the antifreeze first.Next I am checking the fuses. A while ago the light stopped working on the buttons for the air control knobs. If anyone else has any other ideas about what it could be please give me a shout-out.Thanks.
