2018 Jeep Compass Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“When using the back-up camera, the license plate lights shine into the camera and the brightness is practically blinding. It extremely difficult to judge/maneuver the car, even if using the mirrors ,and not the camera, to back-up. There is no way to adjust the brightness manually. If other cars/people are in the vacinity, it may cause a safety issue.”

“As the passenger windshield wiper sweeps across the glass it hesitates briefly directly in front of & in the line of the drivers vision . Resulting in a serious vision obstruction. Dumping all of the water now and snow in winter right there in front of the driver ! At night in the dark the situation becomes a problem !”

“Driver side wiper blade fell off while driving in a snow storm, resulting in wiper arm smacking back against windshield and cracking glass. Had to get windshield replaced and new wiper blades. Very dangerous. Professionally installed replacement blade also fell off during use during rain storm on christmas eve, leaving me stranded on side of highway. Why is this not included in recall with 2019 /20 models? Very very dangerous.”

“The windshield wiper stalk completely broke apart and fell off. The rear wiper continued to move and could not be turned off and the front wipers could not be turned on. After getting home, I turned the car back on and the front wipers won't shut off and the wiper fluid continually runs, rendering the car inoperable to drive.the car was purchased yesterday and the stalk broke today while backing out of the driveway.”

“Problem relates to 2018 Jeep Compass latitude. When vehicle is placed in reverse, the 8.4 uconnect screen shows the backup camera at full brightness. This is blinding and makes it impossible to see when backing up. This is going to cause an accident. There is no way to adjust this. Even when the gauges and screen are dim from normal driving, as soon as reverse gear is selected, the screen jumps to full brightness.”
