2017 Jeep Compass / Patriot — 2.0L

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 Compass / Patriot 2.0L. Covers both the standard and High Output 2.0L.

Body SUVEngine 2.0LTransmission Automatic (variable gear ratios)

The 2017 Jeep Compass and Patriot 2.0L are SUVs built on the MK platform, combining a 2.0-liter engine with an automatic transmission of variable gear ratios and returning EPA figures of 20 city, 23 highway, and 21 combined mpg. Service specifications call for 4.5 quarts of 5W-20 oil, numbers consistent with the powertrain's straightforward design. Reliability data for the model year shows 228 owner complaints filed against it — the largest share categorized only as "Unknown or Other," suggesting diffuse rather than concentrated issues — along with four recalls, a footprint researchers should weigh carefully when assessing the 2017 against the model's broader history.

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 100,000 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.

Owner complaints about the 2017 Jeep Compass / Patriot top in one area — the unknown or other, 33 of 228 reports (14%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 4 recall campaigns target the unknown or other, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 10 of the reports describe a crash and 3 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the unknown or other pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
