About the 2014 Jeep Compass
2014 Jeep Compass at a glance
For 2014 a conventional 6-speed automatic replaced the CVT on most Compasses, which makes these later cars feel more natural to drive and is the main reason to prefer 2014-2016. Engines stay the 158-hp 2.0L and 172-hp 2.4L. Freedom Drive II off-road models keep a CVT with a low-range mode, so confirm the transmission by VIN.
- Engines: 2.0 liter I4 158 hp 141 lb ft FWD only; 2.4 liter I4 172 hp 165 lb ft
- Transmissions: 5 speed manual; 6 speed automatic; CVT with low range freedom drive ii

Known issues to check on a 2014 Jeep Compass
- First-Generation CVT Operation and Overheating (2011–2016)
2011-2013 automatic Compasses, and Freedom Drive II models through 2016, use a CVT. These units are known for whine, hesitation, and reduced power when hot (for example, towing or long climbs). A healthy one is smooth; fluid service history helps.
What to do: Test drive a CVT Compass carefully, including a hill climb, and ask for fluid-service records. - Suspension Wear and Underbody Corrosion (Older Models) (2011–2026)
Older Compasses, especially 2011-2016 models, often show worn struts, control-arm bushings, wheel bearings and underbody rust in road-salt regions as they age.
What to do: Have the underbody and suspension inspected on lift, especially in salt-belt states. - Compass Generation, 2017 Overlap and Patriot Disambiguation (2011–2026)
First-generation Compasses (2011-2016) share their platform and engines with the Jeep Patriot. The redesigned Compass arrived as a 2017 model, but some 2017-model-year Compasses are the older design. Engines changed again for 2023 (2.4L to 2.0L turbo), so decode the VIN.
What to do: Confirm generation, engine and transmission before comparing prices.
Recall applicability varies by model year, build date, engine, transmission, drivetrain, equipment and VIN. Check the VIN for current open recalls and completed remedies.
