My SA had the audacity to dismiss it as water ingress from pressure wash based on this image I shared with him and he mentioned extended warranty doesn’t cover it. There is no limit to their imagination and innovation when it comes to rejecting a warranty claim .

Well...it wasn't that much of an imagination stretch for my service guy.

Meanwhile, the logical argument I was having with them is went like this. Is the standard warranty = extended warranty?. Answer is Yes. Then will this bubble thing, if it had occurred during standard warranty...would have been covered? Answer is Yes again. So then shouldn't extended warranty honor the same request? Answer is a stupid No...it's cosmetic!

I just gave up. Attaching the latest image but like I said...noticeable only when it's off or else it's hardly visible. Seems our bubble pattern from the middle to top right is almost similar.

Looks like (with usage) the outer layer of the screen may have come loose and that has led moisture to enter the gap between the screen and the outer layer. Definitely a manufacturing defect. Old Jeep Compass owners should look out for this issue then. Have you checked if any other (except you two) owners are also facing this issue (perhaps in Jeep Owners' groups)?

Yes the pattern is almost identical. Is your compass a 2018 made one?? Based on discussions on US and UK forums this might worsen to a stage where the u connect randomly turns on the AC and other adjustments. But people got it replaced under warranty.

Hi pancham…
It looks like a known issue in all jeep vehicles including grand Cherokee from a quick Google search. The most probable cause is heat. The screen can’t be replaced separately. Instead the entire system should be replaced is what I learnt.

Any owners have experience with remapping - especially for the diesel auto variant ? I’m contemplating a Wolf moto remap, mainly to improve low end response. Kindly advise.

Mine is the 2017 one. Yeah, read the same reviews on global sites and weirdly it affects several makes besides Jeep. Anyway, the accessories shop are saying I can replace with an Android but not sure if that's a good idea. So figured to use this max and then see.

Congratulations on your new car @anilntny - it looks awesome and the red brake callipers add that little touch of pizzaz to the overall look..wishing you thousands of safe miles and millions of smiles in the future!

Just wanted to know - how many airbags are there in the Nighteagle edition? There seems to be some confusion as a lot of sites say 6, a few say 4 and still others stick to 2..and the official brochure doesn't even mention the Night Eagle edition trim and features!!

Do let me know.
Thank you.

So it's official now and a poor decision on part of Jeep. They have discontinued the Petrol MT variant citing low sales volumes.

The fact is that they never allowed any potential customer to even test drive the petrol MT, kept telling customers over last few years that the variant is discontinued and then raised the price by 3 lakhs within a span of 6 months. This to me suggests that Jeep simply did not want customers to go for this variant even though it was the most VFM variant and the throttle response is noticeably quicker than the DDCT automatic.

I was told by sales team that, night eagle has just 2 airbags. It is basically longitude with a bigger wheel and black theme.

Has anyone else felt the same.

Do you have any other info about this remap ?! I just got my petrol auto and it really does feels lethargic. My brothers MG hector petrol seems a lot more peppy.

So like I mentioned, I think they have done some remap, as I have no proof or numbers but I have been driving the Compass for a year and it's responsiveness or the lack thereof has made me fall in love with my octavia all over again, but there is no official statement about it but definitely I have seen a marked improvement in the pick up since I sent the car in for the free software update.

Dear all ,

Please note of a very common / known issue in the JC, where either the battery or the alternator have a history of being unreliable!

Make sure to keep a check on the battery voltage and alarm system.

I had enough power remaining in the battery to take it to the workshop.

Else it would have been a third Flatbed for sure.

Have documented details in below thread, who want to have a further read.

Note: They did not agree to replace entire alternator or battery, in spite of highlighting the history.

Thanks for highlighting this Vinit. I thought this was just an issue with the older models and the new ones did not have this issue. Will keep a look out and check if anything comes up on the battery front

It seems the above case of battery issue is only for model with digital dash screen. I have a Limited Diesel Manual, done about 18k kms in a year and no such issue so far.

I am getting my Jeep Compass Limited (O), this weekend in white with black roof. Would like to get an idea from Jeep owners in Bangalore which is a good service center. Thanks in advance.
