The contact owns a 2022 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the instrument panel was faulty and the contact was unable to see the fuel gauge, tire pressure monitoring system, battery, or the temperature gauge. Additionally, the low-beam headlight was abnormally bright. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the instrument cluster was faulty; however, the contact was informed that a repair was unavailable. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and declined to buy-back the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

We (my husband and I) were driving down the freeway to work at 7:00am when it is still dark outside, when all the lights shut off (headlights, dash lights and the hazards would not work). The windshield wipers then shut off and it was raining outside. We had the Jeep towed home. I then did some research and found that one of the complaints that Compass owners have is the tipm will go out and cause some serious problems with the whole vehicle. I had to have it fixed at the dealership for $651. 00 because it is a dealer specific part. I don't understand why this part has not been recalled in the Compass when it has been recalled for the grand cherokee, wrangler and durango. This could have caused a horrible accident if my husband wasn't so quick to get the Jeep off the road and get us out of the way of traffic.

I bought my Jeep Compass 2018 in April of 2018. When I was finally able to drive it at night I realized the touch screen and instrument panel did not dim when the headlights came on as it says that it will do. It makes it very difficult to drive at night with how bright the displays are.

Instrument cluster is very bright at night, affecting the ability to see the roadway. Instrument cluster does not dim when attempting to adjust brightness. Instrument cluster does not adjust to compensate from daylight to darkness. Vehicle does not seem to recognize that the headlights are on. The option to adjust brightness, with the headlights on, is not available due to vehicle's inability to recognize that the headlights are on. Rear view camera is extremely bright at night, affecting the ability to recognize probable hazards in roadway. Due to this brightness, the eyes take time to readjust to the dark environment when vehicle is put back in drive. These issues occur when the vehicle is in motion and stationary.

Instrument cluster lighting control including dimmer, headlight �on� sensor, dash ambiant light sensor, related software do not function properly. Unable to dim dash at night with dimmer control & or �auto night dim� does not function. The blinding brightness of the dash at night is not only discomforting it is hazardous. This fault is well documented on internet forums & youtube videos.

Instrument panel lighting fails to dim properly at night causing difficulty seeing at night due to the brightness of the display. I am able to get the display to be tricked into going into "night mode" if the display light sensor has no light at vehicle startup with headlights on. At any time if the sensor is exposed to light again such as if a door is opened or interior light is turned on the vehicle needs to be stopped, doors locked, and sitting for one minute for the workaround to be successful again.

In violation of fmvss section s 5. 3. 2. 2 (b) the vehicle's interior dashboard lights are not capable of being dimmed. They remain at brightest level regardless of any parking or headlight settings, and cannot be dimmed or turned off. This creates a dangerous condition during night time vehicle operation. Dealer has not been able to correct this even after two visits, and has made no progress in resolving this issue since vehicle purchased one month ago.

Dash and uconnect screen will not properly dim in certain situations. Most notably, if you turn on the car during the day and drive into the night, the headlights will turn on, but the dash and screen will not dim. If you turn on the car while it is dark out, dash will properly dim. There seem to be additional scenarios that interfere with dash dimming, such as opening a door while car is on and turning on overhead lighting. Difficult to focus on road ahead when bright dash and screen is glaring in your face.

The tipm has a known defect. It has cause the left headlight, taillight, and blinker to malfunction as well as stall while traveling at high speeds. I was told by the Jeep dealership that I would need to replace this at my own cost even though it is a highly known issue with their vehicles many of which have already been recalled.

One headlight suddenly went off, took it to a mechanic to change bulb and replaced the bulb and still didn't work, took it to dealer and they still could not fix it and told me it is a computer issue or tipim issues , to me this is a safety hazard , I also was told by the dealer that I an out of warrantee because I have 74000 miles on my 2014, to me this is a safety issue and they should address this regardless of mileage, I have been driving now 4 months with a blown out headlight it is horrible !.

When filled up with fuel, car stalls out and cuts off. I have replaced all of the bearings and car still makes a roaring noise with the axle. Upper control arms are completely damaged. Battery light continues to come on and headlight was replaced but does not stay on. Light stays on indicating vacuum hose issue. 4 wheel drive light stays on.

Initially, the low beam headlight on the right stop working. Used high beam for awhile. Tried having bulb replaced. Worked for a short time. No power getting to head lamp.

There were no events leading up to failure. The failure was of the totally integrated power module (tipm). As a result power was lost the drivers side headlight. Car was taken to Jeep dealership but they refused to replace the defective part.
