Loss of steering assist caused by water in the steering columnSteering
- Engine / equipment
- Compass (II)
- Period mentioned
- 2017–2018
- Symptoms
- After heavy rain, the steering loses its assistance and becomes very heavy, with the steering and engine warning lights on; codes C1593 or C1592.
- Possible cause described
- Water gets into the electric power steering column and damages its components. FCA has the column replaced (bulletin 19-002-17, November 2017) on Compass cars built from 25/8 to 9/9/2017 for the US.
- Check for the garage
- Without assistance the steering is dangerous: do not drive on and call for assistance. At the garage, have them read codes C1593 and C1592 and check whether water has got into the column.

Oil dilution, 9-speed gearbox and campaigns on the Compass IIKnown weak points

- Period mentioned
- 2016 onwards
- Symptoms
- Oil dilution on the 1.4 MultiAir with short trips; carbon on the petrols; a ZF 9-speed (4x4) with jolts and humming between 4th and 5th in town; rust on door edges on early cars, worn track rods at the roadworthiness test and interior rattles before the 2020 facelift.
