2022 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

Dear Representative, my 2022 Jeep compass has a recall related to the brightness level of display. According to manufacturer's claim, the brightness on the instrument panel center cluster needs to be adjustable to provide at least two levels of brightness. Based on this problem, safety risk is defined as "An IPC display that is not visible to the driver may result in the driver's attention being distracted from the driving task while trying to locate a desired display, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning." in your website. It seems the safety risk is related to the low brightness level of the display. When it comes to my car, the brightness is not adjustable. It stays in the highest brightness level. Since the brightness level is at the highest level, it does not cause any safety risk. Please check the pictures I uploaded in this claim. Intentionally, I took these photos during a sunny day which will allow you to see how clear and visible the display due to high brightness level is in one of the extreme condition (i.e., in a sunny day). Even the brightness level is adjustable, there is no higher level than what the display has now. May I request you to remove the recall on my car? Thank you

After approximately 16 months of proper operation, the instrument cluster in the dash would no longer dim after dark. The vehicle has an "auto-dim" feature that reduces dash illumination from "full on" daytime illumination to an appropriate level for nighttime driving. With this lighting malfunction, the instrument cluster is extremely bright after dark and compromises the driver's night vision resulting in glare and with extended exposure, mental fatigue. In order to safely operate the vehicle after dark, one must prop a piece of paper or similar mask over the instrument cluster, obscuring view of the speedometer and other dash warning lights. This lighting malfunction is well covered on numerous Jeep owner blogs and message boards. I have had the vehicle inspected by the dealer where it was purchased and the diagnosis was the same as reported by many other owners: "There is no known cause and thereby, NO KNOWN FIX". There problem is acknowledged by FCS in their internal STAR CASE #S2208000157.

Having trouble with instrument and info screen lighting. Car vin number not covered in first recall. I see today they issued another recall and again my car is not covered in the recall. We have a major problem with Jeep

3 weeks after I got my 2022 Jeep compass, I noticed I couldn’t see how fast I was going, if I need gas, or anything on the cluster steering panel (the part that tells you how much gas you have, and how fast you’re going) it’s been taken to Jeep 3 times, I’ve contacted Jeep themselves (corporate) I’ve been told my VIN has no recall but the dealership indicates I’m having the ambient sensor issue (but only 90 cars have recall on it) Basically the cluster light display is very dim in the day light. This is a hazard and unsafe due to the fact that I can’t see how fast I’m going, I can’t see when I need gas. I’ve been told the parts can’t be ordered until my car is on the recall list. It’s getting frustrating to have a brand new car with this not working, and it’s very unsafe. I could run out of gas and not even know, I could get a speeding ticket or in an accident. It’s not fair.

I purchased my 2022 Jeep Compass on March 26, 2022 and at the time it was functioning correctly, but about 7 months in to owning my vehicle the infotainment screen and gauge clusters (center clusters) went so dim that I could not see those screen anymore during the daylight. I called my dealership to report the issue, but at the time they did not know anything about it, so I had to deal with it till I did my own research and figured out that there was a recall going on. I called back took it in and they documented it, and communicated that currently no fix is released. A few months pass and my life and other in the vehicle are at risk each time I drive my car as I am unable to read the screen or properly use my infotainment center for directions and such. My safety and safety of others is extremely important and currently at risk each time I drive my car. There were a few messages that came up when I first bought my car that stated something about my screen needing service so I took it back to the dealership the next day (the message came up same day I bought my car) and they said that it was find and that nothing needed to be done. I am reporting this because my Jeep is impacted with this defect and I am needing it fixed as it is extremely dangerous as well as I bought my car new and expect the basic amenities to work properly. I do have an open case directly with Jeep but they are extremely hard to get ahold of.

Instrumentation not bright enough during daylight. Per NHTSA campaign ID number 23v058000. Mine was not included in the recall. They say they can’t repair Jeep engineering working on it. How did they fix the recall cars?

The car is supposed to turn off and on when making stops because of the eco mode. There are times where the car will turn off at the red lights and will not turn back on automatically. Other times the car will just completely shut off when coming to a stop . The engine is killed. A complete restart to the car has to happen in order to make it work again. This issue is not identified through the Jeep dealership. They asked to record it next time it happens because their computer isn’t reading any issues to the by

While driving, my dash went out completely. I can’t see how fast I’m going, or any information concerning my car.
