2025 Jeep Compass owner complaints

My [XXX] mother (JEEP enthusiast) bought a 2025 JEEP Compass. One week after she bought it the RPM light started flashing. The dealer stated the main computer (electrical system) completely failed. There is no stability in the car. There's no braking system, no power steering, no cruise control, no nothing, the seat moves without her adjusting it, the automatic dimmer switch turns on without user intervention - the JEEP is a complete lemon. It is UNSAFE to drive. It's like an octopus without a head. They said they'd buy it back from her for $14,000 LESS than she paid - a week ago. The part is on back order. She recently moved interstate and is forced to between states - 5 hours each way. I am beyond livid. She's been a lifelong JEEP owner who has been treated horribly by this company

The contact owns a 2025 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while her son was driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle started losing motive power. The contact stated that her son observed that the check engine and the Forward Collision Avoidance warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that her son stopped and turned it off and restarted the vehicle, but after shifting to drive(D) and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond as intended. The contact called for a tow truck, and the vehicle was towed to a local dealer. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated the vehicle lost power again, with the check engine and Forward Collision Avoidance warning lights illuminated, with several other unknown war

The contact leased a 2025 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that the vehicle had failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the vehicle could not be restarted, and the cause of the failure could not be determined. The dealer informed the contact that the manufacturer was notified of the failure and had sent a field technician to diagnose the vehicle, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 550.

Several safety warning lights continue to appear while driving. Car slows down on its own at times. Media screen glitches as well. Dealer has worked on the car about 4-5 times. Currently, the car is with the dealer for a 3rd straight week and they claim to not have any loaners. Dealer has continuously stated that the sensor needs to be kept clean, but this is just a distraction. These cars are not safe on the road and should all be recalled as lemons. The manufacturer is using subpar systems and master technicians have been unable to completely fix the issue. These issues began to appear before car had 8k miles. This issue is frustrating and scary.

Warning message in dash stating that the drive mode is unavailable. Emergency and safety features are not functioning as they should. The emergency braking and forward collision warning doesn’t work. When driving, the warnings will go off independently and disengage. Byers Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership in Columbus serviced the vehicle May 2026-August 2026 with support from Stellantis replaced multiple components and the harness to repair the drive system, with all failed attempts to correct the problem. On August 10, 2026 the dealership returned my car to me, citing no repair available and that a software update should correct the issue. Dealership advises the car is safe to operate.

The contact owns a 2025 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while his son was driving 65 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle lost power. A dealer was contacted.

The vehicle advanced warning stystems are all failing. After multiple repair attempts this continues. Previously it resulted in failure where vehicle would not move due to advanced brake assist.

I purchased a brand new 2025 Jeep Compass Latitude, and shortly after, I started getting repeated error messages for several safety features, lane departure unavailable, blind spot monitoring unavailable, auto high beam unavailable, and automatic emergency braking unavailable. These warnings appear randomly: sometimes as soon as I start driving, other times 5–10 minutes later, or even after 30 minutes to an hour of driving. There’s no consistent pattern, and when they activate, all the affected systems stop functioning until I restart the vehicle. I’ve taken the vehicle to the dealership three times for this issue. The first time, I was told there was nothing they could do because no active code showed at that moment. The second time, they said they couldn’t look at it because they had no

I have this 2025 jeep compass and while driving in highway I’m getting the Auto emergency brake is unavailable notification in my cluster window and i’m unable to turn it on. Tried to service multiple times but no fix has been found. I have all the documents handy with the video showing the issue duplicated and still no response from The manufacturer and dealership. It’s a serious safety hazard for me and my family to drive this vehicle in highway. Now the dealership is refusing to provide anymore repairs on this vehicle for this issue and still it remain unfixed. Need help to fix this issue or investigate on this issue.

I bought my jeep brand new in 2025. I have had multiple occasions where my breaks lock up when on the highway or main roads. The collision detection settings are all "OFF" since my first experience of this happening. I have taken my vehile in the jeep facility a couple of times now and they tell me they do not see anything coming out bad on their end when checking the system. It is still occurring. And I am taking my car back in to get it looked at again. When this happens there are no chimes, signals or anything that tells me "something is in front of me". Also when this happens there won't be a car or anything in the roadway. I could be driving a clear road at 50-60mph and it feels as if I hit a brick wall for a moment then my car just continues. Jarring me forward. I am afraid if someon

When fueling I can’t get the gas to go into the jeep it shuts off over and over takes near 20 mins to get a half a tank of fuel it’s loose in there air can’t escape I’m thinking

The adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, and forward collision warning turns off randomly and the warning lights come on saying they are not working and to take it to the dealership. This has happened around 8 to 10 times. The first being under 1000 miles. I took it to the dealership then and they said nothing was wrong and I need to keep the sensors clean. It makes no difference if the car is just washed or dirty. I’ll be driving on a city street or highway and all of a sudden the warning lights are on. Sometimes they go off by themselves. Sometimes after I turn off the car they are on but when restarted they are off. Finally tonight about 5:45 on the highway multiple warning lights went on. Engine, all safety warnings, transmission warning, overheating warning. I pull over and a

On 6 occasions in varying driving conditions “Service AEB System Immediately” message and warning lights has appeared on instrument cluster. When this occurs all safety features are also disengaged. Furthermore, on a different occasion the vehicle was parked for 4 hours and after starting the vehicle I received a “Power Steering Overheat” message and warning light on the instrument cluster. Due to this the steering also became stiff. Finally, on 4 occasions now a “Parking Light Out” message has appeared on the instrument cluster. When exiting the vehicle it is observed that the DRL in the passenger headlight will frequently turn off during operation and just go black. Then after restarting the vehicle will come back on. This vehicle has already been in service twice (and is going in a 3rd

The problem is reoccurance in short periods of time. I had an alignment done at 14,000 miles, then at about 20,000 miles when the tires were replace. Now, the car has 34,000 miles and requires another alignment due to excessive tire wear on the inner portion of the tire. The car has only been driving under normal driving conditions for the area; 95% highway driving. There haven't been any impacts to anything which could cause the alignment to fail this horribly so frequently. This is the only car I have ever owned that has ever needed an alignment three times in a one year timeframe. Independent service centers reproduced the first two times. The first time the mechanic informed me that it was mechanically impossible to get the car within Jeep's aligment specifications without aftermarket

The defective part is: the air bag under the steering column or in that area, on the driver's side. Date of accident: [XXX] --There is a police report but I don't have it yet. Report number [XXX] I hit a parked car in the middle of the road after turning a corner on [XXX] .. This info may be relevant for speed questions, I think around ten MPH. The airbag deployed and became detached from the vehicle, hitting my lower legs causing a severe wound in my left lower leg. I was in the hospital for five days and had plastic surgery to repair a deep wound. After the collision, I got out of the car. I got back in to retrieve my purse and noticed that airbag was laying on the floor under the steering column attached to a large black nut detached from the vehicle. Reports and inspections: --Avi

Accident On [XXX] at [XXX], I headed out of the Timberlane Estates neighborhood to go to volunteer at the NWR in Crystal River and was behind 3 other cars going out of the same neighborhood. As I started to turn from [XXX] (25 mph) to [XXX] (decelerating to about 10), I had to fight the steering wheel trying to straighten it out but instead the car continued left and hit a car at the stop sign. This shook me up quit a bit. When I got out, the driver of the hit car and I traded information. We both have State Farm Insurance. Called State Farm to report the incident and took pictures of the front of both cars and of the skid marks. Called my husband and as we waited for the tow truck, we realized that the CV joint (?lower all joint) was totally out, which also caused the tire to flatten a

The contact rented a 2025 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while slowly pulling into a parking space, the engine revved and the vehicle unintendedly accelerated. The contact immediately depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle and shifted the transmission to reverse(R). During the failure, the vehicle crashed into a wall causing damages to the driver’s side front bumper. A Police report was filed at the scene. The failure mileage was 2,736.

The contact rented a 2025 Jeep Compass. While the contact’s husband was driving approximately 70 MPH, there was a burning odor and an abnormal sound coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road, and the contact and her husband observed whitish gray smoke that eventually turned black coming from the engine compartment. The hood was opened and immediately there were flames coming from the engine compartment. The contact and her husband removed personal belongings from the vehicle. During the failure, three sheriffs pulled up behind the burning vehicle. A Police report was filed. The Fire Department arrived on the scene and extinguished the fire. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot and had not been diagnosed or repaired

Vehicle has a major safety defect unknown as to component causing. While driving at freeway speeds the vehicle suddenly has sudden jolt as if vehicle switched into park suddenly. This causes seatbelt tensioner to lock and for the 0.5 to 1 second speed reduced instantly as if slamming on brakes causing vehicles behind to almost hit me. This has now happened on 3 separate occasions but cannot be replicated on demand by anyone. No warning lamps no indicators of anything like open door, parking brake, or any forward collision system showing on instrument panel.
