Some Jeep Compass owners report experiencing overheating issues due to several common causes, including a faulty thermostat that blocks coolant flow and a malfunctioning radiator. Additionally, low or contaminated coolant levels, a defective water pump, and a faulty head gasket have been identified as potential contributors. Owners also note that low coolant levels, clogged radiator fins, and air pockets in the cooling system can exacerbate the overheating problem. It is crucial for owners to address these issues promptly to prevent further engine damage, and if the overheating persists, seeking professional assistance is advisable for effective diagnosis and resolution.
