Wilber1,
I didn't know that the Jeep Cherokee, Compass and Renegade are based of Fiat platforms as are their four cylinder engines.
A family member bought a new 2014 Jeep Patriot Trail Rated(similar to Compass, but different body) with the 2.4 liter engine which was used by Chrysler, Mitsubishi, and Hyundai. I wasn't aware of the Fiat connection to the engine.
The engine was ok, but underpowered for the weight of the vehicle. He did have lots of issues with many other components of this car, particularity the transmission (CVT) and suspension, so much so that he traded it in on a new Nissan Pro4 X Frontier pickup, 4 liter V6, which touch wood, has had not one issue since purchase a couple of years ago.
