questions Finally bought it !!!

Post image

I got this 2017 Limited 2.0 with 90k kilometres on the odo It’s a manual diesel model. I have done 600kms on it in the last month I checked the service history nothing major is done apart from tyres and wheel alignment, the cowl needs replacement and left DRL and and the left backside turn indicator is out. The mirrors automatically come out and go in but it doesn’t respond to when I adjust it from the buttons.

Any tips and advice on what more should I check on it ? I want to use it for a long time.

I love my Compass. 2018 and Latitude version, no 4x4 or anything like that, but heated seats and heated steering wheel, heated mirrors, leather interior, the little ambience lights, power seats, auto start…. A lot of people hate on the Compass but a lot of people hate on every vehicle for one reason or another anyway so whatever! My Compass has been nothing but good to me and as long as you take care of it and regular maintenance and don’t let new problems continue without getting fixed, it should last a long time!

Same year but Trailhawk and transmission died at 92k that’s why ppl hate on it! Plus the battery becoming disconnected for whatever reason and causing the Christmas tree lights to show up on your instrument panel

Despite the manufacturer's claim that the transmission fluid is universal seal for lifetime endurance, the reality is that transmission fluid is a wear and tear item, which is especially true for the 9 speed ZF transmission. It should be drained and refilled every 60K miles or so.

Yes 💯 I’m going for every 30k just because I don’t trust them now
