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 light on my jeep compass is so dim during the daylight hours I am unable to read or see and of the tires gauge or the fuel tank display. If the uconnect warning of a low fuel wouldn't of shown up on my phone I could have ran out of gas and not know it. This isn't safe. I have taken the vehicle in several times and have been told the same thing. There is nothing wrong with it. Now I see during some research that others are having the same problem.

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.
