Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, public domain. Complaint counts reflect what owners reported and are not a measure of failure rate per vehicle sold.
What this can and cannot tell you: these are complaints owners chose to file, not a failure rate. Popular models accumulate more of them simply by being common. How this is built.
Owners filed 3,592 complaints with NHTSA about the 2017–2025 Jeep Compass, and 1,364 of them record the mileage at which the failure happened. That is enough to show not just what fails, but when.
40% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 10 reports per 1,000 miles between 20,000 and 80,000. Failures clustered that early usually indicate a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear.
The most-reported areas are the engine (23.5% of complaints, typically around 18,000 miles), the electrical system (23.3% of complaints, typically around 20,000 miles), problems owners could not categorise (12.4% of complaints, typically around 18,000 miles).
14 recall campaigns cover this generation.
If you arrived asking “is it reliable?” — this page answers the version of that question the data can support: which problems owners reported, and at what mileage.
How many miles does a 2017–2025 Jeep Compass last?
Half of the failure reports on the 2017–2025 Jeep Compass were filed by 20,000 miles and 90% by 60,000 miles — figures drawn from 1,364 NHTSA complaints that record an odometer reading, so they time reported failures, not the cars whose owners never filed one.
2 reports (0.1%) came in past 200,000 miles — each one proof a Compass reached that mileage, not that it died there.
Before you buy a 2017–2025 Compass: the 3-minute check
Generated from 1,364 mileage-tagged complaints, 14 recall campaigns, 3 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.
- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 14 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
- Ask for forward collision avoidance repair records. This area fails at a median of 4,000 miles — on any car this age it already happened or never will; the question is whether it was fixed under warranty.
- Ask for exterior lighting repair records. This area fails at a median of 2,000 miles — on any car this age it already happened or never will; the question is whether it was fixed under warranty.
- Check engine on 2017–2022 cars. 2.4L Tigershark excessive oil consumption — owners report losing roughly a quart per 1,000 miles. FCA issued Customer Satisfaction Notifications attributing part of the consumption to the Interactive Deceleration Fuel…
- Check transmission on 2017–2025 cars. ZF 948TE 9-speed rough and harsh shifting, lurching, and hesitation — the most-reported complaint category for the generation. The MP shares its calibration history and TSB software flashes with the Cherokee KL; a…
- Check electrical on 2017–2018 cars. Launch-year electrical and infotainment faults were notably concentrated in the first two model years of the generation.
- Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer, an early-failure pattern is comparatively good news on a used example: 40% of the reported failures occur in the first 12,000 miles, which on a car of this age means they have already happened or they were never going to. Service history matters more than mileage here.
On inspection, the engine and the electrical system are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The engine in particular shows a median failure mileage of 18,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

Which systems, and when
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 20,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
The engine accounts for 23.5% of complaints (843 reports, 389 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 18,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 5,500 and 35,000 miles.
The electrical system accounts for 23.3% of complaints (836 reports, 273 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 20,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 7,500 and 40,000 miles.
Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 12.4% of complaints (445 reports, 119 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 18,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 4,500 and 29,000 miles.
The transmission and driveline accounts for 8.2% of complaints (296 reports, 152 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 25,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 6,500 and 45,000 miles.
Forward collision avoidance accounts for 5.1% of complaints (184 reports, 13 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 4,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 3,000 and 31,000 miles.
The brakes account for 4.3% of complaints (153 reports, 67 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 14,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 4,000 and 31,000 miles.
Differences between model years
Within this generation, complaint volume is not constant across model years. The 2018 model year drew the most — 1,624 complaints — while 2025 drew the fewest at 43. The median year sits at 254.
That makes 2018 an outlier: roughly 6.4 times the median year of this generation. A single year standing that far apart usually reflects either a first-year issue that was later corrected, or a component change introduced for that year. Anyone shopping this generation has a straightforward reason to prefer a different year, all else being equal.
Recalls and what they cover
NHTSA records 14 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
The campaigns cluster around the electrical system (4), equipment (2), the reversing camera and sensors (1). Repeated recalls against the same area of the car generally mean the first remedy did not fully resolve the underlying problem.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.
Reported severity
What owners reported alongside the failure itself, out of 3,592 complaints against this generation:
- Crashes
- 139 (3.9%)
- Fires
- 24
- Injury reports
- 51
- Fatality reports
- 0
These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
Documented problems
Engine 2017–2022
2.4L Tigershark excessive oil consumption — owners report losing roughly a quart per 1,000 miles. FCA issued Customer Satisfaction Notifications attributing part of the consumption to the Interactive Deceleration Fuel ShutOff (IDFSO) calibration, which cuts fuel on deceleration and creates cylinder vacuum that draws oil past the rings; piston ring and bore issues are also implicated. Same defect family as the 2015-2017 Chrysler 200 and Jeep Renegade/Cherokee 2.4L applications.
Transmission 2017–2025
ZF 948TE 9-speed rough and harsh shifting, lurching, and hesitation — the most-reported complaint category for the generation. The MP shares its calibration history and TSB software flashes with the Cherokee KL; a related wiring harness defect in the 9-speed family can cause sudden shutdown or unexpected shifts into neutral.
Electrical 2017–2018
Launch-year electrical and infotainment faults were notably concentrated in the first two model years of the generation.
