My 4-year Jeep Compass Ownership Experience

I’ve had my Jeep Compass for 4 years now, and it’s been quite a ride. I’ve covered a lot of ground with this vehicle, both in terms of road trips and everyday commuting. Here’s my honest breakdown of the ups and downs of owning the Phoenix.

The vehicle has aged really well, in the 4 years of ownership, I never had a breakdown issue. The battery was changed twice - once due to the Covid lockdown when I had done very few trips, the battery discharged, next instance, it was replaced under warranty (so overall had to pay twice). The engine mounts and front brake pads were changed last year.

Had 1 major accident, the bike hit my vehicle from the back when it was parked on the road and one minor fender bender issue where the gate deformed the fender while I was reversing from a tight parking.

Other incidents include a rat bite of the engine sensor wire, which costed me 9.5k. Apart from these incidents, nothing major. No rattles, no other wear and tear issues. Changed all 4 tires last year which costed me 44k.

The only accessories purchased last year was JK Treel TPMS which costed me 4k.

I use Fuelio app to track my expenses, below is a report of last year's expenses generated from the app.
