EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CENTER CLUSTER ON DASH (FUEL LEVEL, ECO SAVE METER, ETC.) IS STUCK IN NIGHT TIME MODE. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING TO RESET SO I CAN SEE MY DASH DURNING THE DAY. ITS SO DARK THAT I RAN OUT OF GAS DURING THE DAY BECUASE I COULD SEE MY FUEL LEVEL! DEALERSHIP WANTS MY VEHICLE FOR 5 DAYS TO FIGURE IT OUT AND THEY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. FIX THIS PLEASE! IT STARTED A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. (9 MILES FIRST DRIVE, WENT DARK AROUND 3,000 MILES, STILL DARK AFTER 10,000 MILES) THIS IS VERY FRUSTATING WHEN YOU CANT SEE YOUR DASH!

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I have two issues with my vehicle. The first is the lighting on the instrument panel. As of February 7, 2023, the center display in my vehicle appears to be stuck in night mode, resulting in an inability to see the fuel gauge or warning lights during daylight hours. I have taken it to my dealer to report the issue, and they said that is a known issue with 2022 jeep compasses but they are not aware of how to fix it. The service technician agreed that it would be hard to deal with and dangerous to drive. I have hence found the recall information on the on the NHTSA site, but when I enter my VIN number, it says there is no recall for my vehicle. The second issue is that the forward collision warning light is constantly on. When I go into the vehicle settings, it sometimes shows that the forward collision system is on, but the warning light is on, so it's unclear to me whether the system is on or not, which is also not a safe situation. I noticed the issue intermittently in 2022 and reported it to my dealer in February of 2023 but they were not able to fix it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Vehicle will not switch to night mode for interior dash and infotainment system display. The center touch screen unit has already been replaced for a separate problems of it turning itself off and staying black with no access to touch screen controls. The option to adjust the night settings is greyed out, so it cannot be selected to adjust. Daytime setting has to be adjusted to lowest setting and is still extremely bright while driving at night. I have had this vehicle into the dealership several times for this issue, the last time the service manager had to drive the vehicle at night to "duplicate" the problem. I had to go to the dealership, sit in the car and show him exactly what was going on. It is very difficult to drive at night with bright dash and center display lights. I have reported this as a safety issue several times in writing. I was told Jeep is working on a fix for this problem, but it has been several months now, with no fix. I email weekly for an update.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The Compass has been stuck in “night mode,” cannot adjust the navigation panel or more importantly, the dashboard. I cannot see the dashboard in daylight, not able to see mph, any warnings etc. I see there is a recall but my car is not listed. I took it to the dealer in mid March 2023 and they said there was nothing they could do. Please help! I purchased this vehicle used and the issue was present.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I purchased a brand new 2022 Jeep Compass and used the adaptive cruise control while driving to an appointment, immediately after the purchase. 15 miles later, one-by-one the car's system warnings started lighting up and beeping. I came to a stop light so thought to restart the car while waiting for the light to turn green. I shifted the car to park and tried to turn off the car but it wouldn't shut off. So I tried to put it back into drive but the shift wouldn't move. I called Chrysler Roadside Service and Fire and Rescue showed up and had to manually force the car into neutral to push my car to the side of the road. Meanwhile the battery also died because though I couldn't move the car, the air and radio remained working. In total I waited 3 hours for the tow truck in McLean, VA, an urban city.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My instrument cluster/dashboard glitched and became stuck in night mode. Whenever I would drive during daytime hours it became impossible to see my radio screen along with my speedometer since it's all a screen. Because of this I can barely see my speed or fuel level or any alerts along with not being able to see my GPS screen. I brought it to the dealer and they have no fix for it yet so it's been sitting at the dealership over a month. I am currently trying to get Jeep to buy the car back from me. Thank you!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The vehicle was stopped at a light and the car shut off by itself. The electrical stayed on, but I had to put the vehicle in park, restart the car, and turn off the emergency brake that turned itself on. This incident happened twice so far for a 2022 compass bought in May 2022. The first time was around 3,000 miles in November 2022. The second time was around 9,300 miles on 03/05/23. Each time the vehicle almost caused an accident when the Jeep was stuck on a busy ramp. Will be booking an appointment with the dealership to have this documented.
