Lasts a long time: everything that has been bothering us in the Jeep Compass 1.3

It is after applying the brakes, after the front end sinks and returns to its original position, that one of the annoying noises of our Jeep Compass becomes apparent. It is a high pitched sound that has been reported by all drivers.

“I have also heard the noise in the Jeep Renegade”, he recalls. writer Guilherme Fontana, who still noted in the book of records who noticed the noisier tires on the descent.

The truth is that, with the rain at the end of summer, it is important to have it greater pressure control on the accelerator pedal. The power output can be very fast when the engine “wakes up”, which makes the tires easily disengage from the pavement or diagonal slopes.

It’s a nice distraction, but the engine isn’t damaged. “This 1.3 turbo seemed to move or fail when climbing, when it was at 60 km/h”, Guilherme reported.

There are also times when the engine takes a while to respond and on non-elevated terrain, the starter doesn’t restart the engine quickly on exits and the Compass slows down before accelerating.

Better not to rely too much on the car’s views, at least for now. “Parking sensors seem to be out of control, they warn of objects or obstacles when they are still too far away”, says reporter Isadora Carvalho.

These are all things that will be reported in the second inspection, at 24,000 km or before. Because the consumption of engine oil is what worries us the most and, although the little left in the crankcase continues to protest bravely, it causes insecurity on the journey.
