What owners say
Dash lights, hazard button, radio stuck in night mode. Fuel gauge, speedometer, engine temperature and check engine/ tire pressure gauge are not visible in daylight. Creates a hazard when unable to see viable information like a flat tire, engine overheating, or low on gas. Tried to get it fixed but was told jeep currently has not issued a solution to fix it.
Backlighting in dash cluster not working and makes it very difficult to see my fuel gauge, and temperature gauge, cruise control, and other items shown in gauge cluster.
Instrumental cluster display does not display during daylight hours. Gas gauge and speed gauges are not visible due to faulty illumination. Inability to view during operation diverts is a safety hazard. I have taken the vehicle to Dodge service centers twice but they are unable to fix or repair this issue stating that they have not been told of this problem by Dodge/Chrysler.
The digital display that appears dim during daylight and full sun, rendering the fuel gauge, cruise control, and safety features useless during the day.
I have had my Jeep for 13 months and suddenly the digital cluster display on the dashboard and the Uconnect tablet are so dim that during the day they are unable to be seen. I am unable to see my fuel gauge, or any vehicle warning icons that may appear. This is a HUGE safety issue. I am also unable to use the onboard navigation with the Uconnect tablet which is one of the things that I love about my Jeep. I took it to the dealership and they showed me a Jeep bulletin dated September/2022 addressing this issue (case number:S2208000157) stating "engineering is investigating a service solution" and was informed that there is currently no fix for this problem even though it is very common in the 2022 Jeep Compass. This is unacceptable.
The dashboard screen and main screen have been stuck in night mode for around 6 months. This makes driving during daytime hours extremely difficult because the dashboard screen cannot be seen. This screen includes, but is not limited to fuel level, speed, tire pressure, lane departure warning, and temperature. The vehicle has been to the dealer multiple times and the manufacturer has been contacted. There is a recall involving this issue, however, my vehicle was not included in the recall, but I am having the exact problem described.
Center cluster on dash (fuel level, eco save meter, etc.) is stuck in night time mode. I've tried everything to reset so I can see my dash durning the day. Its so dark that I ran out of gas during the day becuase I could see my fuel level! Dealership wants my vehicle for 5 days to figure it out and they dont know what to do. Fix this please! It started a month after I bought the car. (9 miles first drive, went dark around 3,000 miles, still dark after 10,000 miles) this is very frustating when you cant see your dash!
I have two issues with my vehicle. The first is the lighting on the instrument panel. As of February 7, 2023, the center display in my vehicle appears to be stuck in night mode, resulting in an inability to see the fuel gauge or warning lights during daylight hours. I have taken it to my dealer to report the issue, and they said that is a known issue with 2022 jeep compasses but they are not aware of how to fix it. The service technician agreed that it would be hard to deal with and dangerous to drive. I have hence found the recall information on the on the federal safety agency site, but when I enter my VIN number, it says there is no recall for my vehicle. The second issue is that the forward collision warning light is constantly on. When I go into the vehicle settings, it sometimes shows that the forward collision system is on, but the warning light is on, so it's unclear to me whether the system is on or not, which is also not a safe situation. I noticed the issue intermittently in 2022 and reported it to my dealer in February of 2023 but they were not able to fix it.
My instrument cluster/dashboard glitched and became stuck in night mode. Whenever I would drive during daytime hours it became impossible to see my radio screen along with my speedometer since it's all a screen. Because of this I can barely see my speed or fuel level or any alerts along with not being able to see my GPS screen. I brought it to the dealer and they have no fix for it yet so it's been sitting at the dealership over a month. I am currently trying to get Jeep to buy the car back from me. Thank you!
Display on dash is stuck in "night mode", during the day I can not see my speedometer nor my gas gauge.
