I have a 2020 Compass in good condition, no major issues. A few months ago the entertainment screen (in the center) started having an issue where the right 1/3 of the screen blacks out. It’s not consistent, but most commonly happens when starting the car after it was turned off for a short period (like doing a shopping errand). It doesn’t happen every time, and sometimes will happen when turning it on after it’s been off overnight or all day.

I called a Jeep dealer and without even looking at it they insisted the entire screen was broken and would need to be replaced for $1100. The fact that it still works sometimes gives me hope that there’s a fix? In the meantime I’m just dealing with it, but it’s annoying!!

I’m in the process of buying my 2nd co-op (moving to a larger unit in the same building), and as I got current place close to 15 years ago I’m a bit rusty on some of this stuff and would just like a second opinion.

When I got my mortgage package, they initially included homeowners insurance and I had them take it out. I’ve gotten my own policy and paid for it for years, so I figured I’d do the same. I don’t remember it coming up when I first bought, so either the bank didn’t suggest it or I just double paid for a period? (Can’t think about that now!)

But is there something I’m missing? I got a condo policy with State Farm (NY based agent, he said this is what they do to co-ops), but would it be better to get it with my mortgage bank this time around?

I’m about to get a quote from my insurance broker but just wanted to make sure I’m not missing something.

I have the insurance requirements for the bank, and will need to share the details with the bank ahead of closing so I’m not concerned about getting a policy that doesn’t comply with the bank.

Thanks!
