Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant every 10,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 10,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Jeep Compass records 20 complaints, 0 recalls, and 0 investigations—marking the lowest complaint count in the entire generation and the second consecutive model year with zero recalls. This represents a dramatic improvement from the 2018 peak of 927 complaints and 6 recalls, as well as a sharp decline from the elevated 2022 figures of 217 complaints and 4 recalls. The trend since 2022 shows consistent improvement: 217 → 45 → 49 → 20 complaints, paired with a steady reduction in recalls and the elimination of investigations entirely since 2022. The 246 TSBs recorded for 2025 remain substantial but have also declined from 380 in 2022, suggesting engineering refinements addressing prior service issues. The top complaint areas for 2025—Air Bags (3), Forward Collision Avoidance (2), and Electrical System (2)—involve a small number of reported incidents, and the four crash complaints and zero fire complaints provide further reassurance. The 2025 Compass occupies a favorable position at the tail end of a generation that has progressively resolved its earlier reliability concerns, making it the strongest model year in the dataset from a defect record standpoint.
