Is 329 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2019 and 2026, roughly 43 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2019 has 329 complaints on file, fewer than the 2018 (941) and more than the 2020 (139). Of the 16 model years of the Jeep Compass we cover, the 2018 has the most (941). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
