Thanks for the quick reply. I am surprised to see that not many folks have complained about the non-reclining rear seats . This seems to be a big miss on such an expensive Car especially on long drives.

That's because most of us who care are on the front seat enjoying the drive. .

My older Corolla Altis had this. But neither my son or any elderly I had taken in were bothered about it. In the 6.5 years of ownership, I adjusted the reclining seat once, when I took delivery of the car, and that was to see how it worked. But perhaps others might find it useful...

3) Does the rear seat recline in 2021 model?

If you are 4 adults or 2 adults + bigger kids in the rear seat, then you will miss the reclining option during long drives. And probably they didn't give this in 2021 model to make sure that the boot space is not getting affected.

Since you are moving from Ford Endeavour 3.2, why not wait for Jeep Commander?! This will get reclining option + it is a 7 seater.

Regarding rattling issues, I hear that 2022 manufactured cars are getting some fixes directly from the factory. So, better to wait for some time and check 2022 manufactured Compass.

Got delivery of my Jeep Compass 1.4L petrol Limited option today in exotica red. Loved the red colour, especially in dual tone.
On regular roads and a small patch of bad road, did not find any rattling issue so far. My car is Nov 21 manufactured. As for accommodating 3 medium built adults in the rear seat, we found it comfortable enough and then only decided to go for this car. However, it would be unfair to compare it to Endeavour.

- I would recommend PPS 100%, I would definitely go to PPS if I have to purchase my vehicle again.
- Aakash is the best salesperson.
- He went all out of his way to make my vehicle delivery possible. He helped me in getting discounts on accesories and insurance too. Just yesterday he got an award too.
- In case you are reaching out to him, take my reference. He has become a connect of mine.
- I got 1 lac rupees of discount since this particular model was in warehouse and dealer wanted to sell it ASAP.
- Negotiate in Insurance as much as possible. I got all the benefits people mention here worth 80-120K, I got in 35K.

I second this. PPS was better compared to KHT.

Rattling yes started at 60kms for me. Its very light and with music on you will not hear it. To describe, its like a rice rattling on the dashboard. People have fixed it with foam tapes under the extreme front dashboard area where the speaker etc sits. I think thats a separate piece.

Here is one source which talks about the fixes :

Thanks to redballons, bullitt1 and RealAbhinavRajp for your detailed responses to my earlier queries. I am really grateful for the answers.

Rear seat recline angle is the first thing my wife complained about after the test drive. She did not find it comfortable at all. I on the other hand did not find any issue with the recline angle.

An encouraging thing that I noticed, both here and Jeep club India facebook group, is that nobody has complained about the rattles since the Nov 21 manufactured vehicles started getting delivered. Rattling is one of the major irritants plaguing Jeep’s image. Rattles have become almost synonymous with compass. If they’ve already resolved it or are in process of resolving it, it would go huge way towards enhancing their reputation.

Was the issue with any particular variant? And petrol or diesel engine? Please let us know as we are not members of the Jeep group and it would help new buyers. Thanks in advance.

Hey, based on what I’ve seen in the group any model can develop rattles, be it sport or model s. Both Petrol and Diesel can develop rattles as well. It’s dependent on your luck. Many people have driven the car significantly and not faced any rattles.
The most rattle complaints I see are for Model S, but that’s probably because it’s their highest selling variant ( according to my SA at Jeep Landmark).

[timuseravan]

I have almost finalized on the Model S Diesel MT. Can any of the owners give some feedback of the integrated voice commands? And the infotainment system in general?

Surprisingly I could not find any reviews for the same.

(3) How should I deal with this now? It pains me to see my car as UP-14 since there is no proof whatsoever of me being from Ghaziabad. (Maybe I will have to live with this).

On other aspects:

There's a slight discoloration and loss of shine on a small portion of the left door below the handle - its like a patch. The dealer has acknowledged the same. He has asked me to get it checked at the workshop. They will re-paint/replace the door under warranty.

1. You won't be able to change the registration number particularly in the same State.

2. The less said about competency of the manpower in these dealerships, the better. Sadly such is the state of affairs almost everywhere and there's no solution other than vigilance by self.

3. I don't see any issue with number being UP-14 instead of UP-16. Both numbers being from UP itself, you shouldn't have any issue with authorities.

4. Try getting it sanded & buffed first, most probably it should go.
If it doesn't go away with buffing and is not too noticeable, I'd rather let it be.
Be very careful with any paint job at the dealership. If not done competently, they'll spoil the paint of your new car. Even the replaced door will need to be painted at the workshop. Nothing will match the factory finish. You can try pushing for a factory painted door but very slim chances of that happening.

My query is whether buying insurance through Mopar portal makes any difference to the claim handling and chances of claim settlement thus making it worthwhile to pay a little extra? The dealer claims that the workshop manages all the claim related issues on behalf of the buyer but I am wondering if this is really true or just a way to convince buyer to shell out more. Request guidance on this from senior members.

As long as the workshop has a cashless tie up with the insurance provider, it won't matter where you get it from. Go for the most VFM option.

Mintu ji took the cover out. Closed the boot. I pressed lock. He confirmed. Work done. Good job Jeep.

This must be the first post I'm seeing with someone praising the Jeep Life app
But appreciation where it's due since it was able to help you out with quite a sticky situation.

Hi Timu,

While I have not used the integrated voice commands so far. The infotainment system is really smooth and lag free. The integrated navigation also works quite well. The sound quality Of the car is really good for a stock system. Apart from that the 360 degree camera and the ventilated seats are really useful, would have helped have they had a separate button for the ventilated seats. The S (O2) models that were released post Sept have a smoother infotainment system as compared to the earlier models

Regards,
Abhishek

Hi, thanks for your suggestion! They've tried polishing and rubbing (using a machine) at their Dealership. That didn't help. It's a weird kind of a fade!

They've asked me to visit the main workshop once to ascertain the cause. Haven't been able to do that since there's Weekend Lockdown in Delhi. Or maybe I'll visit the Noida workshop when it's functional by February mid.

Below is a picture for reference. Notice right below the door handle.

[Floyd de Souza]

It looks as though the 1.4L petrol engine is not being used in the Compass anywhere apart from India/Nepal.
Even Jeep Compass exports to the west from India have been discontinued.
