One problem related to engine rattling and whining sounds has been reported for the 2012 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The engine over heats at 60 to 70 mph and then begin to lose power. The car slows down, the engine light comes on. This has happened 5 times since 2019 while on the highway. Now the transmission is failing because it won't change gears and it makes a whining sound when you try to accelerate. On the city street.
