Many owners of Jeep Compasses have reported loud noises when braking. Mechanics have told them that it is a normal issue. Some owners have tried replacing brakes and other related components, but the noise continues. FCA released a technical service bulletin on the issue on August 20, 2016. The company recommends installing an anti-vibration bracket on the rear brake caliper.

Totally Integrated Power Module
The Totally Integrated Power Module (TiPM) is an electronic device that controls power distribution throughout your vehicle. If it’s failing, it can cause your Jeep Compass to sound like it’s on fire. It can also malfunction, causing your car to shut off at high speeds.
Transmission
If your Jeep Compass is making noises while starting, the most likely culprit is the transmission. There are a couple of reasons why it might be making these sounds. First, there is a chance that your transmission fluid is low. In this case, you should add fluid to the fill line found on your Jeep’s manual.
Brakes
Whenever you are braking, you may hear a loud sound. This may be reassuring, but it can also be a warning sign of an impending accident. This noise may also mean you need to take your vehicle to a mechanic to have it repaired. However, you can often repair the issue yourself.
Roof leaks
If you’ve recently noticed that the roof of your Jeep Compass is making a loud sloshing noise, you’re not alone. It’s not uncommon for Jeep Compass owners to experience loud squealing sound at 4,000 and 12,000 miles. The loud noise is often the result of a clogged condensate pan drain. If you suspect your Compass is experiencing this problem, you can contact the Jeep Compass’s manufacturer or local dealer for an inspection and repair.
Engine noise
Engine noise in your Jeep Compass is a common issue and often easily fixed. It is most likely the result of a weak battery or other electrical problems with the vehicle. The clicking noise is typically produced by the solenoid, which requires a high amount of electric current to turn over the engine. This noise can also come from a bad ground connection or a faulty starter motor.
Transmission noise
A common Jeep Compass transmission noise is the “purring” or “rolling” sound that occurs when the gearbox is in use. This noise is generally unobtrusive, but it can be annoying. If you have noticed a whining noise while starting the vehicle, you should have your transmission inspected. The noise could be caused by a defective bearing, or it could be an indication of a bigger problem.
Transmission overheating
Transmission overheating is one of the most common complaints associated with the Jeep Compass. The problem occurs after a certain number of miles, usually around 70200 miles. It occurs because the transmission fluid is too hot. This can lead to costly maintenance and accidents. To avoid these problems, you should consider buying a pre-owned vehicle that does not have any known complaints.
