2022 Jeep Compass: engine and transmission complaints
NO ELEVATED SIGNAL
32%
53 of 166 relevant owner complaints are about the engine, transmission or fuel system
No elevated drivetrain complaint concentration in the available NHTSA records for the 2022 Jeep Compass. Engine, transmission and fuel system account for 32% of relevant complaints.
Better than 67% of the 1,230 model years we track (2010–2023).
Excludes 54 airbag, lighting and seat-belt recall complaints that would otherwise mask the signal (unadjusted: 24%).
Manufacturers fix things mid-generation. A bad year next to a clean one is common; the fix usually arrived in between.
