Reading the numbers
Across the 16 model years of the Jeep Compass in this data, 2010 draws comparatively few complaints; 2018 is the outlier year.
Filings have fallen off, 6 in the last three years against 26 in the three before. That is normal as a generation leaves the road.

In owners' own words
I am unable to use my 2010 Compass to transport my family because of fear the passenger airbag is dangerous. Since no remedy is available, what am I to do?? I must have transportation. How many deaths must occur before fca makes a cash settlement so I can replace my car? How long must american consumers be at risk for the lives of passengers? Fca is legally responsible. I cannot afford to keep renting a vehicle. Air bags · reported at 78,109 miles
