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 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.

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.

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.
