Buying Tips for the 2017 Jeep Compass (MP)

  • Test the ZF 9-speed automatic transmission rigorously on test drive; early software calibration causes jerky 2nd-to-3rd shifts and sluggish downshifts
  • Inspect the boot floor and tailgate seals for signs of water ingress, which can corrode underlying audio and trailer wiring harnesses
  • On MultiAir petrol models, inspect service history for proper 0W-30 synthetic oil adhering to Fiat 9.55535-GS1 specification to avoid hydraulic actuator failure
  • Check that all electronic 4x4 drive selector modes cycle smoothly without throwing 4WD system unavailable warnings on the instrument cluster
