One problem related to noises during shifting has been reported for the 2007 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Cvt transmission started making noise and not shifting at 42000 miles. No accident occurred but since Jeep/Dodge service departments are not authorized to perform maintenance on cvt transmissions it had to be replaced. Due to issues with Jeep/Dodge a new transmission would have been on backorder for a minimum of 30 days. I was not able to wait that long so I found a low mileage transmission in a salvage yard and had the service department install it. Because I purchased my Jeep approx. 2 weeks before the lifetime powertrain warranty was initiated I had to bear the entire cost.
