Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 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 2024 Jeep Compass demonstrates a marked stabilization in federal records, registering only 49 complaints and zero recalls compared to the generation's 2018 peak of 927 complaints and 6 recalls. This low-volume profile aligns with the preceding 2023 model year's 45 complaints and precedes the further reduction seen in the 2025 and 2026 records. Although Technical Service Bulletins remain notable at 298, down from the 2020 peak of 406, the absence of open investigations suggests no systemic safety mandates are currently pending. Reported issues primarily cluster around Forward
