TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK AN UNUSUALLY LONG TIME TO FILL UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

I PURCHASED THE 2007 JEEP WITH LOW MILEAGE FOR MY CHILD'S FIRST CAR. UPON THE FIRST REFUEL THE CAR HAS EXPERIENCED STALLING WITHIN A HAL MILE OF REFUELING. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, AS WELL AS TO THE NEIGHBORNING JEEP DEALER. TIME AFTER TIME I WAS ADVISED THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. TODAY UPON REFUELING THE CAR STALLED UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION AGAIN. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS AND RESEARCH ONLINE THAT I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN A RECALL HAD NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. THE STALLING OCCURS AT A DIFFERENT TIME LEAVING NO GAS STATION, AT THE FIRST MOMENT OF IDLING, AFTER TRAVELING A SHORT DISTANCE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANY DRIVER ALTHOUGH EXTREMELY SO FOR A NEWLY LICENSED DRIVER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GO AROUND ANOTHER DRIVER, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WAS STUCK TO THE FLOORBOARD. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE SPEED INCREASED TO 90 MPH IN A 40 SPEED ZONE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

GAS TANK WILL NOT TAKE FUEL. WHEN FILLING IT WILL ONLY TAKE ABOUT 0.3 GALLONS BEFORE STOPPING OR SPRAYING OUT. MECHANIC SAID IT MIGHT BE VENTILATION SYSTEM.

I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT AND BACK SUSPENSION. I BOUGHT THIS USED, AND I THINK I WAS NOT GIVEN THE PROPER INFORMATION REGARDING THE CAR.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR CUTTING OFF, ESPECIALLY WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT ON LOCAL ROADWAYS. IF IT DOESN'T COMPLETELY SHUT OFF THE SENSATION TO CUT OFF IS DEFINITELY FELT. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE SPARK PLUGS AND HAD THOSE REPLACED, HOWEVER, THE SITUATION CONTINUES TO PERSIST. I HAVE BEEN TOLD ON ONE OR MORE OCCASIONS IT MAY BE THE FUEL PUMP. I WAS RECOMMENDED I TAKE MY VEHICLE DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE OTHER ISSUE THAT IS ALSO VERY PRONOUNCED IS THE NOISE MY ENGINE MAKES WHILE IDLING. IT CAN BEST DESCRIBED AS A LOUD WHIRLING SOUND BUT NOT QUITE A RATTLE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD MY CAR SOUND SO NOISY. I HAVE NOTICED PERHAPS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON INVOLUNTARILY WITHOUT ME ENGAGING THEIR USE. I HAVE SEARCHED JEEP'S WEBSITE REGARDING ANY RECALL INFORMATION ON THESE AFOREMENTIONED ISSUES BUT TO NO AVAIL.

WHEN FUELING, THE NOZZLE FROM THE GAS PUMP IMMEDIATELY SHUTS OFF AS IF THE TANK IS FULL. IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT TO FUEL UP WITHOUT FUEL SPLASHING OUT AND OVERFLOWING ON THE CAR AND PAVEMENT. I HAVE USED DIFFERENT FUEL STATIONS, CHANGED THE ANGLE OF THE NOZZLE, FUELED UP AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES, CHANGED THE EVAP CANISTER BUT STILL THE PROBLEM EXISTS. AFTER RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY JEEP OWNER THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. IT IS THE ONE-WAY ROLLOVER VALVE THAT IS LOCATED IN THE GASTANK. ALSO OTHER CARS MADE FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PERILOUS PROBLEM. I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT TO GET A RECALL FOR MY CAR AND ANY OTHER JEEPS THAT HAVE THE SAME FAULTY ONE-WAY VALVE IN THE GAS TANK.
