2019 Jeep Compass fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2019 Jeep Compass at 25–26 MPG combined; the 2.4L 4-cylinder (FWD) is the most efficient and the 2.4L 4-cylinder (FWD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.

City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).

2019 Jeep Compass maintenance schedule

The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.

A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first.

  • Inspect the brake linings, replace if necessary
  • Inspect the front suspension, tie rod ends and boot seals, replace if necessary
  • Inspect the CV joints

2019 Jeep Compass recalls & safety

What the U.S. government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has on file for the 2019 Jeep Compass: 2 recall campaigns, 333 owner complaints and crash-test ratings. Fetched November 8, 2026.

Recalls (2)

Newest first. A campaign covers certain vehicles of this model year, not necessarily every one. To see which apply to a specific vehicle, and whether the fix has been done, enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer; repairs are free of charge.

Visibility: windshield wiper/washer: linkagesApril 9, 2020 · Campaign 20V208000

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Ram 1500, 1500 Classic and Jeep Compass vehicles. The windshield wiper arm or arms may loosen, possibly causing the wipers to not operate properly and reduce the driver's visibility in certain weather conditions.

Risk: Reduced visibility increases the risk of a crash.

Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the wiper nuts, free of charge. The recall began April 27, 2020. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is W25.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Dodge Grand Caravan and Jeep Compass, 2018 Dodge Journey, and 2019 Jeep Cherokee vehicles. The rear brake caliper pistons on these vehicles may have an insufficient coating causing gas pockets to form, potentially reducing rear brake performance.

Risk: A reduction of braking performance can increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will bleed the vehicle's brake system, free of charge. The recall began September 29, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U86.

Great Lakes owner notes

The 2019 Jeep Compass against salt, snow and steep grades

From the Snowbelt east of Cleveland to the ridges of West Virginia and east Tennessee, this part of the country throws salt, snow and grade at every vehicle. Here is how the 2019 Jeep Compass specifications line up against all three.

Wheels, tires and freeze-thaw roads

The smallest 2019 factory size is 215/65R16, the largest 235/45R19. Each thaw in Michigan and Ohio opens new potholes, and a tall sidewall survives them best: the 16-inch fitment flexes over a sharp edge where a low-profile tire can pinch or bend its wheel. After a hard hit, look for a sidewall bubble.

Oil for a frozen-driveway start

Factory oil: SAE 0W-20, 5.5 qt per change with a filter. A Grand Rapids or Toledo January can leave an engine at single digits overnight, and at start-up the oil has to reach the top of the engine fast. The 0W part of the grade is its cold-flow rating, so keep it rather than going thicker for winter. Short trips that never fully warm the engine let moisture collect in the oil; a longer drive clears it.

Starting in single digits

Battery care in this schedule: inspect it and clean and tighten the terminals as required at each oil change, and the spec sheet rates it at 500 cold-cranking amps. A battery that bakes through a Nashville or Memphis summer ages faster, then gets found out by the first hard freeze. Have it load-tested in fall rather than waiting for a slow crank.

Which wheels do the pulling

Factory drive configurations for 2019: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The same trim name can come with more than one drive system, so on a used Compass confirm it from the window sticker or a VIN decode rather than the badge. In west Michigan, where lake-effect bands can pile up several inches of snow in an hour, driving both axles is what gets a loaded vehicle up an icy driveway.

Coolant through freeze and climb

Fluids table: OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula), 6.8 qt. Scheduled replacement comes at 10 years or 150,000 miles. Stick to that chemistry, since mixing coolant types can shorten their protective life. On a used Compass from West Virginia, ask whether the coolant was changed on time, and check the level in the overflow tank with the engine cold before you drive it.

Filters for dust and pollen

The cabin air filter first comes up at 20,000 miles. Spring pollen in the Ohio and Tennessee valleys is heavy, and a clogged cabin filter also slows the defroster in winter because it chokes the blower's airflow. It is a five-minute job on most vehicles.

Fuel grade and winter reserve

Fuel requirement: 87 octane. In winter, keeping the tank above half is a sensible habit across the Great Lakes states, because lake-effect pileups and mountain snow on I-64 or I-77 can leave traffic stopped for hours, and fuel is your heat.

Specifications are the manufacturer's; the weather and road context is ours. When a note here and the 2019 owner's manual disagree, follow the manual.

2019 Jeep Compass questions

How much oil does the 2019 Jeep Compass take?

With a filter change: 2.4L gasoline engine (SAE 0W-20, API certified), 5.5 qt / 5.2 L. Capacities are from the owner's manual; check the dipstick or oil-life display after filling.

What kind of oil does the 2019 Jeep Compass use?

2.4L engine: SAE 0W-20, API certified (MS-6395) and Engine oil filter: Mopar engine oil filter.

When is the first scheduled maintenance on the 2019 Jeep Compass?

At 20,000 miles or 2 years: inspect the brake linings, replace if necessary; inspect the front suspension, tie rod ends and boot seals, replace if necessary; inspect the cv joints; replace air conditioning/cabin air filter. Oil changes in between follow the oil-change indicator.

Where can I find the 2019 Jeep Compass owner's manual?

The manufacturer publishes it free on Mopar.com as a PDF (linked in the manuals section above), along with quick guides, radio manuals and the warranty booklet.

What MPG does the 2019 Jeep Compass get?

The EPA rates the 2019 Jeep Compass at 25–26 MPG combined, depending on the version. 2.4L 4-cylinder, 6-speed automatic, FWD: 22 city / 31 highway / 25 combined; 2.4L 4-cylinder, 6-speed manual, FWD: 23 city / 32 highway / 26 combined; 2.4L 4-cylinder, 6-speed manual, AWD: 22 city / 31 highway / 25 combined; 2.4L 4-cylinder, 9-speed automatic, AWD: 22 city / 30 highway / 25 combined. Ratings are the EPA's laboratory figures from fueleconomy.gov; real-world mileage varies with driving, load and weather.

What size tires does the 2019 Jeep Compass use?

Factory tire sizes: 215/65R16 (Sport 4x2 and 4x4); 225/60R17 (Latitude 4x2 and 4x4); 235/45R19 (Limited 4x4); 215/65R17 (Trailhawk); 225/55R18 (Latitude and Limited). The recommended cold inflation pressure for your exact tires is on the tire placard on the vehicle, not in a single table.

What changed on the 2019 Jeep Compass?

New option packages: Advanced Safety Group, Premium Lighting Group, Upland Edition, Altitude Special Edition and 1 more; Package no longer offered: Advanced Safety and Lighting Group; No longer standard or offered on some trims: Leather wrapped (Sport); New to the equipment chart: All-wheel drive; 4x4 models.

Does the 2019 Jeep Compass have recalls?

NHTSA lists 2 safety recall campaigns for the 2019 Jeep Compass. The most recent: Visibility: windshield wiper/washer (April 2020) and Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components (August 2018). NHTSA's data was last fetched November 8, 2026. Recalls are listed by model year, so a given vehicle may or may not be covered: enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer to see which are open.

What are the most common safety complaints about the 2019 Jeep Compass?

Owners have filed 333 complaints about the 2019 Jeep Compass with NHTSA. The components named most often are engine (162), electrical system (145), and unknown or other (84). 13 complaints involved a crash and 2 complaints a fire. Complaints are reports from owners that NHTSA does not verify, so treat them as a signal to look into, not a finding.

What is the 2019 Jeep Compass's NHTSA crash-test rating?
