Why does the check engine light in my Compass turn on when I start my car?

Why is my Jeep Compass making engine noise?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Jeep Compass engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.

What could damage my Jeep Compass engine?

Can I put water in my Jeep Compass radiator?
