US opens probe into Jeep Compass SUV engines shutting down DETROIT – U.S. safety regulators are investigating complaints that the engines on some small Jeeps can shut down while being driven.

One bright spot is the Compass’ fuel economy, which is improved for 2023. The new powertrain gets an EPA-estimated 24/32/27 mpg city/highway/combined, up from the 4WD 2022 Compass’ 22/30/25 mpg.

I have a 2009 Jeep Compass has approx 16K miles on it with manual transmission and 2.4L engine. Interior is adequate, like the exterior and ride and reliability very good so far.
