Known issues on the 2012 Compass. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year: the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags becoming disabled and raising injury risk; a software error that can delay side air bag deployment in a rollover; the engine stalling while driving, which increases the risk of a crash; and fuel tank leakage in an impact or rollover that can cause a fire. Owners have filed 261 complaints and Jeep has issued 68 technical service bulletins for the year.
From a routine service interval to a hard-to-trace wiring fault, it keeps you on the factory procedure and the correct specification for your 2012 Compass.
