The 2015 Jeep Compass has seen relatively very few complaints and has only had one recall regarding the positioning of the power steering hose clamp. Of the Compass’ 88 registered complaints with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than a quarter have to do with engine malfunctions—especially when it comes to vehicle acceleration.
One of the responsibilities of owning a vehicle is being ready for any potential malfunctions and repairs—especially for a model with a few years on it like the 2015 Jeep Compass. Luckily, consumer reports and complaints are a great way to anticipate problems before they happen. Likewise, any recalls should be easy to

The most common 2015 Jeep Compass problems
Only 88 official complaints have been registered against the 2015 Jeep Compass with the NHTSA—25 of which have to do with engine malfunctions at the very least. Eighteen complaints concern the electrical systems, and 14 concern the ‘15 Compass’ airbags.
Many of the complaints concerning the engine and electrical systems involve stalling of the engine followed by a sudden throttle, sometimes accompanied by malfunctioning warning lights. Some of the most worrying occurrences, however, involve no warning lights and no registered error codes—meaning the electrical system failed to record a problem.
These malfunctions have yet to be addressed by an official engine recall. Instead, the 2015 Jeep Compass’ only official recall concerns power steering hose clamps that have been incorrectly positioned. This allows the power steering hose to easily detach and leak fluid, which increases the risk of a vehicle fire.

Is the 2015 Jeep Compass reliable?
With only 88 complaints filed for 66,698 models sold, it should come as no surprise that the 2015 Jeep Compass has considerably good reliability ratings, despite some worrying reports here and there. RepairPal rates the ‘15 Compass 4.0/5.0 for reliability, and J.D. Power gives this model year a passable 77/100 for overall quality and reliability.
Not to mention, the 2015 Jeep Compass’ average annual repair cost is only $458. That’s a fair amount lower than the average annual repair costs of $521 for the compact SUV class. That means you’re less likely to be facing a serious repair if you do end up at the mechanic with a 2015 Compass.
