The Compass has earned a bit of notoriety by achieving only a two star crash rating in the very latest European tests - Euro NCAP Jeep Compass - not that it's the first Chrysler/Jeep to get an awful rating.
Chrysler/Jeep seem to always get appalling pedestrian scores as I guess they aren't designed to co-exist with pedestrians as they must do in Europe. The Compass is actually an improvement on one of the Cherokees (even Jeep wouldn't use the name Patriot here) that got red marking on every part of the front of the vehicle - 'designed to kill pedestrians' might have been Nader's headline.
However it's interesting to see that even with a side thorax airbag, it got a bad side impact rating - illustrating that having a 'marketing airbag' ("it must be safe - just look how many airbags it has") is nowhere near as good as having an effective airbag.
