Outgoing calls have no sound when initiated by invoking the Google assistant. But when initiated via the phone app in Android Auto, it works just fine. Incoming calls are also working as intended, and issue is only with the outgoing calls.
I've visited the dealer, and they say there are no updates for my VIN. Marked a mail to customer care, and received a call back saying they are aware of such issues, and working on an update.
I had asked other owners in FB groups, where one of them confirmed that their Compass has been recently updated to version having last 4 digits as 51.00
Could Tbhp facelift Compass owners please help me with the build number of their Uconnect systems. Also anyone has information if updates are rolled out for all vehicles at once, or are they rolled out VIN wise.
Thanks,

Will confirm the Uconnect version tomorrow but the problem is something i face too. My belief is that once u receive that first incoming call after that a call with assistant works fine. Please keep me posted if there is an update.

I can confirm this as I tested it manually as well on a 350 km drive. I thought there was something wrong with just my car but there are people on Youtube who are also facing this.

Request all fellow compass face-lift owners to confirm if they are facing the same thing or not. Probably is a software bug.

The fuel efficiency computation has crapped out on multiple people in the Multi-trip widget. Works fine in the standalone widget.

If that's the case, I'll be more than happy to go with Jeep.

One of the most talked-about issues is the battery drain. Our executive said it happens when the auto headlamps are kept on, which is hard to believe. Is there any way to avoid this? Is this very common?

Other than this issue, is there something else I need to be worried about? Are there DPF issues or issues with the infotainment system? If there are major issues, might go with Tucson. But hoping the issues are minor and easily correctable.

Thanks in advance.

I was the lucky one to not have faced a battery issue so far. I believe a recent update has fixed it. The problem was with the MID not turning off and hence over a period of 10 days draining the battery out. Today i returned after 21 days and it was completely fine.

No car is hassle free but the Jeep experience is definitely worth it. Go for it.

5k kms and 5 months done. So far so good with Limited Manual

Hi Roshan, I took delivery of my techno green model s 4x4 AT 2 weeks back. And am facing rattling issues in the cabin since day 1. And it just seems to be getting worse day by day. SC is unable to fix them and the car has spent 2.5 days in the workshop already and is slated to go there again in a few days. Do keep in mind there is a very prominent QC issue as per my experience.

Yes, there was an update that has been applied to my car. The version has now been updated to 51.00. This update is not yet official, and has its own bugs, like units get changed to mph, F, bar instead of kmph, C, psi once in 5-6 times you start the car. You have to manually change the units. But atleast I'm able to use the calling function properly now. Hope the update is resolved in the near future.
Also, one thing I've noticed is that the DRL in auto setting does not light up during the day time. Only when it gets dark, does the entire light setup gets lit. I think the DRL should get lit all through out the day, as that is its purpose. I guess Jeep has changed this light setting in one of their previous software updates to check their battery drain issue. Because as far as I remember, during my initial days with the car, DRL used to light up in auto setting. Not sure though.

Guys who own the new 4x4 AT, could you please share the amount of insurance you paid and what was the IDV?

May be I am asking stupid questions. Are these rattles with any specific models/ colors. The new colors launched were delayed. There was no rattles in the previous generation of the compass. May be there is no logic to colour but just checking. If all the rattles are associated to a particular colour. Also during the PDI process are we allowed to drive the vehicle or does the dealership do a run test. The vehicle is taken from a lorry and just parked in the lot. Not sure if this issue can be picked up during PDI. If the dealership drives the vehicle for PDI may be we can ask them to include us in the ride.

That's actually a good question. But it isn't really about the color but the facelifted version of the cars. I had developed rattles in the driver side of door as well. So major progression in rattling noises within a month and 600 km of ownership. After 3 visits to the service center and multiple escalations and discussions I have some details to it.

So in the facelifted version the door are not as rigid as the last gen due to the multiple finishes and sections they are made of. The different sections and hot welded/glues together. Upon my complaints the SC team had reached out to FCA and as of now they do not have a permanent solution to the rattles. While they did insulate both the doors and "clipped/insulated" the cables, the noise is still persistent on bumpy roads and any bassy music over even a little higher volume And if you crank up the speakers it sounds like any cheap ICE setup which just is not designed to handle high volumes at all. And they have confirmed that there is no fix to it. If they indeed are right about their claims, there is indeed a design flaw in the compass 2021 which can't be fixed right now.

I'm really happy with how the vehicle drives and the tech it comes with. But these issues have put serious doubt over the long term reliability. I'm fairly certain the noises are going to increase as I keep using the car, which I intend to do for road trips. Not at all as rugged it is marketed.

Also, dealers do not allow driving of even starting the vehicle during PDI.

Manas5, I dont't see any other rattling issues apart from that of himanshugoswami's car which he managed to get sorted out. You could probably use a similar solution.

Thanks Manas for the perspective. If its a design flaw, there should be several cars which are reporting this issue. Did the service advisor give you the perspective based on a lot of cars coming back for this issue. I asked my SA and he was not aware of the issue and told that it could have been a batch specific at max. I have asked this some time back when the forum members initially reported this matter and was informed that there was some FB post on Jeep's page. With Jeep, given the limited number of dealerships and in Chennai, they have only dealership, its not easy to miss. I will recheck from my source again this week end to see if there is further update to this

I did indeed have a chat with him. His initial issue was something different and has been resolved now. But since then he too has witnessed another rattling issue that I'm not sure if is fixed yet.

The SC guy I was dealing with did mention he has worked on such instances. Though not prominent, such issues are sure being reported. I wonder if I am the chosen one to have it cropping up this early

Thanks.

Quick update: Crossed 4800 km of niggle free ownership. Mileage is 11.9 now as city driving has increased substantially. It's a joy to drive Compass and I didn't observe any rattling issue in the door panel either.

I did a detailed PDI myself by also driving the vehicle for around 5 km and sincerely adhered to the Team-BHP PDI checklist as well.

Anyone with a Dark Color car? (Blue or Green)

What are the steps you take for maintenance?

I am not doing anything apart from an early morning regular wash. My dealer says that when they wash it in the Service Center they do apply a thin coat of wax after it.

So technically, I have got it waxed at the time of delivery, a 3 month car wash and now during the 6 month service.

Is that enough or do I need to worry?

[CarEnthusiast10]

Have got full body PPF done .

I took delivery of a Galaxy Blue earlier this month and had a similar concern. Full body PPF was beyond my budget, so opted for a 9H ceramic coating and PPF for the bumpers. This comes with a 5 years warranty and they do a top up coat every 6 months. Do consider it if your budget permits.

Hey Sehkar - Congrats on your car delivery.

How much did you pay for the 9H ceramic coating and PPF on bumper? Do you see a long term difference when doing ceramic coating? Is it worth doing. I have been thinking of doing the same but wondering whether it's worth or not.

Thanks.
