Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Jeep?

Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.

How much can my Jeep tow?

Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Compass’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.

How often does my Compass transmission fluid need to be checked?

Regularly checking and exchanging your 2010 Compass’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Jeep. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.

Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Jeep Compass?

Yes, your Jeep Compass can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Compass ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
