SUSPENSION, WHEELS
REAR CROSS BAR AXLE IS DEFECTIVE. THE WHEEL SUSPENSION IS DETERIATED TO THE POINT THAT THE WHEELS PROTRUDE OUWARD FROM THE VEHICLE CAUSING EXTREME WEAR ON THE INSIDE PART OF THE REAR TIRES TO THE POINT OF WIRES ON RADIAL TIRES ARE EXPOSED. THE OUTSIDE PART OF THE TIRES SHOW MINIMUM WEAR. MECHANICS SAY THIS CROSS BAR AXLE IS POOR QUALITY STEEL OR STEEL THAT WASN'T CURED AND FINISHED PROPERLY. THE CROSS BAR AXLE IS LITERALLY ERODING WITH HOLES OCCURRING RIGHT THROUGH THE AXLE ITSELF. FEAR IS THE CAR IS BECOMING TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT FEAR THAT UPON HITTING A BUMP THE REAR WHEELS WILL SPREAD APART AND THE CAR FALL TO THE GROUND.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK ON MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS IT STALLS SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW MILES. I'VE READ THE BLOGS ON THE WEB AND IT APPEARS TO BE A FAILURE OF THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VAVLE. THE ONLY FIX APPARENTLY IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,2000. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND IT HAS STOPPED ON HER IN TRAFFIC TWICE AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. LUCKILY SHE ESCAPED BEING HIT BY AN ONCOMING CAR. THIS IS SO WRONG! THIS IS A DEFECT AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE AN 07 JEEP COMPASS. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR 5 YEARS AND I HAVE A MAJOR SAFTEY ISSUES. GAS LIGHT CAME ON SO I FILLED UP. GOT A FEW YARDS FROM THE PUMP AND IT STALLED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING CAME ON. WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT. EVERY TIME I TURN THE CAR ON IT SPUTTERS A BIT THEN RUNS. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO OF IDLING IT STALLS. TRIED LETTING IT IDLE AND REVVING THE ENGINE. MY CAR STOPPED IN EVERYWHERE IN ROADS, HIGHWAYS, AND THANKS GOD I DIDN'T GET INTO ANY ACCIDENT. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND IT TURNED OUT THAT MANY JEEP/CHRYSLER OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR JEEP COMPASS 2011/2012 FOR THIS ISSUE BUT OTHER MODELS. (HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/RCL/2013/RCONL-13V120-0123.PDF). PLEASE CHECK THIS THREAD FOR PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE (HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T29898_DS631498). I HOPE THAT YOU SOLVE THIS ISSUE THAT PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF CARS IS HAVING. THANK YOU.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ISSUES WITH CAR STALLING/SHUTTING OFF AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. THIS OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS IDLE OR WHILE IN DRIVE. VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. HAS CAUSED NEAR ACCIDENTS ON MANY OCCASIONS. ISSUE OCCURRED AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK COMPLETELY BUT THEN HAPPENED AFTER EVERY FILL UP, REGARDLESS OF AMOUNT. CAR ALSO TAKES LONGER TO FILL UP AS GAS PUMP AT GAS STATION WOULD CLICK OFF WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FILL CAR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE HAS A PURGE VALVE OR OTHER ISSUE THAT IS VERY COMMON THAT CAUSES THE CAR TO SHUT OFF AFTER FILLING UP GAS. THIS LEADS TO VEHICLES SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, LOSING CONTROL OF STEERING AND ACCELERATION AS WELL AS OTHER POWERED THINGS, SINCE THE CAR SHUTS OFF.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE FROM ANY LEVEL TO FULL THE CAR WILL STALL WHEN AT IDLE WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF RUN-TIME. IT WILL STALL AT LEAST TWO MORE TIMES AND THEN RUN FINE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TANK. ON EXAM BY OUR MECHANIC IT APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY THE ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE GAS TANK WHICH REQUIRES COMPLETE TANK REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE VALVE IS MALFUNCTIONING AND COULD CAUSE FUEL TO SPILL IN EVENT OF A ROLL OVER. IT ALSO IS A SAFETY ISSUE FROM STALLING IN TRAFFIC CAUSING A ROAD HAZARD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK THIS VEHICLE WILL STALL. THIS HAPPENS ROUTINELY FOLLOWING A FUEL TANK FILL-UP AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE ARE MANY CONCERNS ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB OF JEEP COMPASS AND PATRIOT OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITHOUT RESOLVE. MANY PEOPLE ARE SUGGESTING THAT THE GAS TANK, CHARCOAL FILTER AND ROLL-OVER VALVE NEED TO BE REPLACED TO RESOLVE, WHICH COMES AT A PRICE OF $2000+ PER VEHICLE. THIS NOTIFICATION OF A PROBLEM IS PROACTIVE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED PRIOR TO BECOMING REACTIVE TO INJURIES OR FATALITIES.
