Buying a used 2019 Jeep Compass? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 329 owner complaints on file

The 2019 Jeep Compass has 2 recalls in this group, addressing rear-brake problems and windshield wipers that may loosen. Its complaint record extends into additional systems: NHTSA lists 329 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, including 160 involving the engine, 143 the electrical system, and 38 service brakes. Brake and wiper remedy documentation matters, while engine and electrical service history can help establish whether reported symptoms occurred on the particular vehicle being considered.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify rear-brake recall completion and request brake repair records.
3. Confirm the windshield-wiper recall remedy and demonstrate operation.
4. Ask for engine and electrical diagnostic and repair records.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
