2007 JEEP COMPASS Complaints

EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK TO FULL AND LEAVE THE GAS STATION IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT GAS STATION OR GRADE OF GAS, SAME RESULT. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY.

UPDATE TO COMPLAINT. JEEP DEALER JUST CALLED AND THEY ARE REPLACING THE FUEL TANK AND CHARCOAL CANISTER WAS TOLD THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE AND THEY HAD SEEN IT BEFORE . THE ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK WAS BAD AND STICKING OPEN ALLOWING FUEL TO DUMP INTO THE EVAP SYSTEM FILLING THE CHARCOAL CANISTER WITH GAS CAUSING THE STALL . THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE SINCE A FAULTY VALVE WONT SHUT OFF IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH CAUSING A FIRE AND CAN ALSO CAUSE A ACCIDENT FROM STALLING IN TRAFFIC WHILE IN MOTION AND THE STEERING LOCKING UP. I HAVE BEEN IN THE AUTO REPAIR BUSINESS FOR 30 YEARS AT A DEALERSHIP AND SEEN A LOT OF ISSUES BUT NHTSA REALLY NEED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY. JEEP COMPASS STALLS AFTER REFUELING IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY, STEERING LOCKS UP WHEN CAR STALLS AND MAKES JEEP UNCONTROLLABLE. HAD JEEP TOWED TO DEALER AND THEY FOUND A BAD CHARCOAL CANISTER WAS "FULL OF FUEL" REPLACED CANISTER DROVE FOR ONE WEEK AND REFUELED MANAGED TO GO 1 MILE AND JEEP STALLED AGAIN AT ABOUT 45 MPH . GOT JEEP STOPPED AND RESTARTED MANAGED TO GET THE LAST 1/2 MILE HOME AND IT STALLED AGAIN PULLING IN DRIVE WAY AND ALMOST RAN THRU THE FRONT OF MY HOUSE BEFORE STOPPING. EXTREMELY UNSAFE CAR RETURNING BACK TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT FOR THE 3RD TIME . AFTER READING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON THE JEEP COMPASS SOME RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS FROM LOSS OF CONTROL. I AM FINDING THE ROLLOVER VALVE IS BAD ALLOWING FUEL TO BE PUSHED BACK THRU THE EVAP SYSTEM CAUSING THE STALL

THE FRONT CROSS MEMBER RUSTED THROUGH AND THE ENGINE DROPPED,WHILE DRIVING BUT THE CAR WAS AT A STOP. ALSO THE REAR CROSS MEMBER IS ALSO BROKEN

ENGINE STALL AFTER FUELING. AFTER FILLING TANK THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHEN IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY WAS TOLD BY DEALER THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE EVAP SYSTEM PURGE CONTROL VALVE THAT ALLOWS FUEL TO ENTER THE CHARCOAL CANISTER IF YOU FILL THE TANK WHEN FUELING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE JEEP WILL STALL WHEN IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY TRAFFIC AND THE STEERING IS NON RESPONSIVE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON IT BUT OFFERS NO FIX OTHER THAN DO NOT FILL UP YOUR TANK. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON INTERSTATE 95 ON 11/14/2015 THIS NEED TO BE A RECALL IT IS NOT A ISOLATED PROBLEM READ ANY GOOGLE SEARCH ON LINE AND THERE ARE THOUSAND OF OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT I WRONG AND A FIX

1. FUEL PUMP STARTED ARCHING AND NOZZLE TO HOSE WAS COMING LOOSE-SMELT GAS WHILE IN MOTION, GAS GAUGE STARTED DROPPING DRAMATICALLY 2. HORN STOPPED WORKING-WHILE DRIVING I TRIED TO WARN ANOTHER VEHICLE WHO WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT WHILE I WAS BEHIND THEM, LUCKILY THEY HEARD ME YELLING 3. BACK WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED WORKING WHILE IN MOTION TRYING TO BACK OUT IN THE RAIN 4. STRUTS WENT 5. ROTORS WENT 6. CROSS MEMBER-NOTICED WHILE DRIVING AND TOOK 2 WEEKS BEFORE DEALERSHIP COULD GET MY APPOINTMENT RIGHT TO GET IT TAKEN CARE OF SINCE IT WAS RECALLED 7. TIPM IS GOING. LOST POWER TO 2/2 OUTLETS IN THE VEHICLE. 8. CV AXLE IS GOING. SOUNDS REALLY BAD AND SOUNDS LIKE BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. TREATED THIS VEHICLE WITH LOTS OF CARE AND SO DID PREVIOUS OWNER. THIS TELLS ME THIS IS NOT A RELIABLE VEHICLE AND A SAFE VEHICLE I CAN DRIVE MY DAUGHTER IN.

I BOUGHT A USED 2007 JEEP COMPASS 4X4 FOR MY SON IN APRIL 2015. HE IS JUST LEARNING TO DRIVE. AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK AND PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION THE CAR SLOWED TO AN IDLE, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, AND THE CAR STALLED. IT TURNED BACK ON BUT COULD HARDLY MAKE A TURN ONTO THE STREET WITHOUT ALMOST STALLING AGAIN. ONCE IT STARTED GOING A FEW MILES UP THE ROAD IT DID NOT STALL. THIS HAPPENED EVERY TIME WE FILLED THE TANK. WE CANNOT FILL THE TANK. I AM VERY SCARED TO LET AN ALMOST 16 YEAR OLD DRIVE A CAR THAT IS SO DANGEROUS AND FEAR HE MAY GET KILLED WHEN THE CAR STALLS. HE WILL BE DRIVING THIS CAR TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY AND WITH WINTER APPROACHING QUICKLY I WILL BE PRAYING. HE KNOWS NOT TO FILL IT ALL THE WAY UP BUT I DON'T FEEL THIS SHOULD BE THE CASE FOR ANYONE. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED. I ALSO MENTIONED THIS ISSUE TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN.

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL IN REGARDS TO AN IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE SO I WENT TO DIFFERENT DEALERS TO TRY TO GET IT FIXED BUT NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO SEE ME TO FIX THE ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD UNTIL MARCH 2016 THERE WOULD BE MORE PARTS COMING IN AND TO COME BACK DURING THAT TIME.
