Instrumentation not bright enough during daylight. Per the federal safety agency campaign ID number 23v058000. Mine was not included in the recall. They say they can’t repair Jeep engineering working on it. How did they fix the recall cars?
2022 Jeep Compass lights complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 51, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving, my dash went out completely. I can’t see how fast I’m going, or any information concerning my car.
The interior displays, instrument panel, and touch screen are stuck in bright day mode. The dimmer switch in the dash will not respond or change the brightness but still turns the overhead lights on and off. At night this causes blinding conditions and a glare on the windows decreasing visibility. The issue is to be investigated by the dealer, there was a wait to get it checked. There are no warning lights and the vehicle may be inspected at any time.
Infotainment system and dashboard lighting is stuck on the brightest setting and not able to be turned down. Seems to be a software glitch or something. Driving at night is more difficult as blinded by the bright displays.
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 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.
During night driving, the instrument cluster does not dim, staying bright and I am unable to manually lower the brightness, this produces a glare around the car which makes it extremely difficult to drive at night, I have also had instances where the instrument cluster dims during the day for a brief period of time where I can hardly read my current speed, then it returns to being bright after a few moments. I have not taken the car into Jeep for service yet but have an appointment scheduled.
Every morning the instrument panel and the radio/navigation screen are very dark. All of a sudden it will turn on. Sometimes a mile down the road and sometimes 5 miles down the road. Sometimes it never turns on. If I need to use the gps/navigation directions this is a big issue as I cannot see the screen. I cannot see the gas guage or instrument warnings. I cannot see the spedometer.
Middle cluster of dashboard is extremely dim and unresponsive to attempts in settings to alter/fix it. We have 2 additional 2022 Compass models in our family, and all three have this issue. We are submitting separate reports for each VIN.
Greetings, There is day time dash dimming issues, and unable to adjust manually. Anti collision feature randomly turns off while driving. Auto on and off feature for fuel economy has not worked in 14 months. Finally, a hard gear jerking event occurs when traveling at slow speed that feels like being rear ended by another vehicle. Not feeling safe with this Jeep. Dealer had the vehicle for week to tell me these are known issues with no remedy available. Please help!
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.
Dashboard screen behind steering wheel and middle dashboard mounted screen are not adjusting for brightness during the day. The only things you can read during the day are the large velocity number in the center on the driver side screen and the blue line for route directions on the middle screen.. At night or very dim driving conditions the screens are bright enough to read, but in full sun it is all but viewless. I've read that there have been some recalls (90 vehicles) that were manufactured in summer 2022, but my VIN is not on that list.
The cluster display on my vehicle is dim too non visible in full sunlight , daylight operating conditions . Automatic display functions turned off and manual brightness adjusted full, yet the dim to non existent backlight does not change. I been told this is a problem and FCA engineers are looking at, but at what priority. It seems that more and more of these complaints are showing up. There needs to be a recall to fix.
The cluster digital display on the 2022 Jeep Compass appears dim in full sunlight and during the day when there is “minimum backlighting.” The car has been to the dealer multiple times and has been reported to the manufacturer. I’m being told there is no fix at this and the engineers are working on it. I was told I would be notified with an “update” when it becomes available. I’ve experienced this issue for over a year. Not being able to see the instrument panel in the daylight is a safety issue.
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 display, where the speed and other pertinent information is displayed, is in dark or night mode. It is very if not impossible to see during daylight hours. It is very distracting not to be able to see the information that you should be able to this vehicle.
While driving down the radio, my infotainment system began flashing on and off, failing to properly load. This can cause a distraction in the vehicle, leading to an accident. The dealer stated could not duplicate.
The backlight for the center cluster display is failing to properly illuminate during daylight. This causes it to be hard/impossible to see during day time hours. There is currently a recall for the 2022 Jeep Compass having the same issue, however mime does not fall under the recall. I would advice looking further into the recall, because it appears more vehicles are affected than stated.
My cluster display has been on dark night mode since January 2023. I purchased the vehicle in April 2022. During the day, I cannot see the cluster display, and have missed gas warning lights, low tire lights, and other emergency lights due to the dimness of the screen. It is a hazard to drive as daylight is longer-- and the navigation screen is also impossible to see during daylight hours. There is no way to brighten either the cluster display or navigation system. The dealership confirmed the issue and instructed me to sit back and wait for an update in January, and there have been no updates yet.
During the day the the instrument cluster that has a speedometer doesn't have any brightness so I cannot see the speed or warning lights. I took my car to the dealership and they said there is no solution to that problem right now and multiple vehicles have the same issue since September last year.
My dash lights will dim automatically during day and can’t dim dash lights at night very frustrating
Dash cluster lights do not illuminate in daytime,not visible in daytime driving conditions,also gps screen same problem.it is a dangerous distraction.went to dealer and they said Chrysler is aware of problem ,but there is no fix at this time.
Vehicle is experiencing the same issue for recall 15A, the federal safety agency Campaign Number 23V058000. The instrument panel no longer adjusts its lighting, and remains extremely dim at all times. This is especially detrimental during the hours of daylight. Vehicle is a 2022 Jeep Compass, similar to those under recall 15A, and is not currently listed for the recall. FCA refused to take the complaint until a dealer officially identifies the issue. The local dealership wanted to charge ~$160 for a diagnostic check.
I have insufficient backlighting of the instrument panel center cluster display. making it unreadable during daylight driving. I see there was a recall on this but dose not come up for my compass. With not knowing speed can be unsafe driving. I talked to dealer about this and They know of this issues and said they know of 3 more from that deal with same issues.
I found online there is a recall for 90 cars that have a lighting issue with the display making it hard to see the dash during the day and/or in the sunlight. My car has this issue but no recall issued on it. It's a driving hazard, especially when sunny, because you can't read how fast you are going. It's an accident waiting to happen when someone is too focused on trying to see to avoid a speeding ticket instead of focusing on the roadway.
The dashboard screen and main screen have been stuck in night mode for months. This makes driving during daytime hours extremely difficult because the dashboard screen cannot be seen. This screen includes, but is not limited to, speed, tire pressure, lame departure warning, and temperature. The vehicle has been to the dealer multiple times and the manufacturer has been contacted. The problem has been known to the manufacturer since at least November 2022. A recalled was issued describing these problems. However, this vehicle was not included in the recall and while my dealer received permission to order the parts, the parts are still not even available to perform the repair and there is no ETA on when they will be ready.
Both the center digital cluster screen as well as the center radio screen have gone dim back in November 2022 and have not come back to normal brightness since. Both are not able to be seen during the daytime hours. I have had my vehicle at my local dealership twice and was told to wait for a recall and that there was nothing they can do. I cannot see my gas milage or gage during the daytime. I cannot view the digital speedometer during the day time either. I am at a loss on what to do with this issue. Jeep has provided no fixes. This is a safety issue especially during the day time. I cannot see my screens!
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.
Screen stuck in night mode & I have bad eyes & need sunglasses during the day. Therefore I cannot see my speed or gauges at all during the day. Already have a speeding ticket because of it
