ENGINE
WHENEVER THE GAS TANK IS FILLED UP, UPON DRIVING 1-2 MILES AWAY FROM GAS STATION ON THE HIGHWAY OR ANY ROAD, THE ENGINE SPUTTERS AND STALLS. TODAY THE ENTIRE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND LOCKED UP. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE TIME.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME FOR THE LAST 10 FILL UPS THE CAR WILL STALL AND FINALLY QUIT, USUALLY IN TRAFFIC. IT WILL START RIGHT BACK BUT GOING A FEW YARDS IT STARTS STALLING AGAIN. I KEEP IT FROM DIEING COMPLETELY BY PUTTING IT IN NEUTUAL AND GIVING IT GAS LIKE AT A RED LIGHT. ALSO SOMETIMES ITS HARD PUTTING GAS IN NO MATTER HOW MUCH IS IN THE TANK. IT FILLS LIKE ITS FULL EVEN THOUGH IT MAY JUST HAVE A QUARTER TANK, HALF TANK, ETC.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK VIA GAS PUMP AUTO SHUT OFF, THE CAR WILL STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED THE LAST TWO FILL UPS. THE CAR HAS 92389 MILES ON IT. THE FIRST TIME, IT STALLED AFTER STARTING THEN AGAIN AFTER ENTERING HIGHWAY GOING UP HILL WITH LOADED DUMP TRUCK RIGHT BEHIND ME. HE BARELY MISSED HITTING ME FROM BEHIND. PLUS CAR LOOSES POWER STEERING. 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS NEXT TANK FILL UP AND STALLED BEFORE LEAVING GAS STATION. AFRAID TO DRIVE AND HAVE PARKED CAR. ROLL OVER VALVE IS NOT WORKING (STUCK OPEN?). IF CAR WAS IN ROLL OVER ACCIDENT, FIRE COULD RESULT FROM SPILLING FUEL. AFRAID WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF PULLING ONTO HIGHWAY FROM RAMP AND STALL IN FRONT OF 18 WHEELER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE STALLS AND UPON RESTART RUNS ROUGH FOR SHORT TIME. WE HAD ONE INCIDENT WHERE A FUEL LEAK DEVELOPED AFTER REFUELING. THE STALLING ISSUE HAS ALMOST CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BE STRUCK AND CLEARLY HAS CAUSED A CONTROL ISSUE WHEN THE VEHICLES ENGINE LOSES POWER SHUTS DOWN. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED AND NO CODES WERE TRIGGERED OR STORED. THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T SEEM INTERESTED IN ADDRESSING MY ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER THE CAR IS REFUELED, THE ENGINE WILL STALL OUT WHILE IT IS STATIONARY. IT THEN STALLS OUT A SECOND TIME AFTER I DRIVE A LITTLE WHILE I AM STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR STATIONARY. I DO NOTHING SPECIAL WHILE FILLING IT UP BESIDES LETTING THE PUMP STOP IT WHEN IT IS FULL. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED EVERY TIME AFTER I FILL UP SINCE ABOUT 125,000 MILES. TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
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

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.
