My salesman said none of his customers had any issue with their Compasses. Is this true? Is there anyone here not had some type of issue, electronics or otherwise with their 2nd generation Compass?
Yeah, mine squealed this morning for the first time -- probably cried for 30 seconds or so. It was only -4F and garaged, so in reality probably +10F. She started last week at -20F with no complaints. My guess is that because it was so warm on Thursday (+40F and rainy) that moisture got into places where it shouldn't have. After a long run on Friday she was parked on Saturday so today was the first start since Friday AM. Still, I'd think after a 200 mile run on Friday and moderate winter temps (+30ish) things should have dried out. I'll see how it starts tomorrow, but its not supposed to be so cold (+20ish F).It does not like below zero weather at all, the transfer case clunks and moans and the belt squeals like a wounded pig when you first start it.(done this since new)
Of about 25+/- vehicles I've had over the years I've only had a few that made it to 100,000 miles without something going wrong. The good ones were a 1993 Cutlass, a 1996 Bravada, a 2008 Patriot, and a 2014 Patriot.The only absolutely trouble free car I've ever owned was my '03 mustang cobra.
The jeep goes through less gas and tires though.
