2007 Jeep Compass 4X4

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

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.

.MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS 4X4 LTD STALL WHEN I FUEL IT UP. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH SENDING UNITS AND THE VAPOR CANISTER. MY MECHANIC SAYS THE ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED SINCE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER JEEP COMPASS AND PATRIOT VEHICLES. MY MECHANIC MUST REPLACE THE GAS TANK AS THE ROLLOVER VALVE CANNOT BE REPLACED TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH BOTH OF THESE VEHICLES AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE STALLS EVERY TIME WHEN COMING TO A STOP DIRECTLY AFTER FUELING VEHICLE. IT WILL STALL 4-6 TIMES BUT WILL START BACK UP WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD WITH RPM'S UP FOR A FEW MINUTES THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR TRYING TO TURN A CORNER AND HAVE YOUR VEHICLE STALL. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM JEEP...IT'S NOT SAFE UPDATED 09/01/15*LJ UPDATED 10/26/2017*CN

SO SINCE I'VE PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. ALL I CAN HEAR IS CLUNKING NOISES AS IF THERE ARE NO SHOCKS OR SUSPENSION TO THIS 2007 JEEP COMPASS 4X4. I BRING MY VEHICLE FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THE FRONT AND REAR SUB FRAMES ARE COMPLETED ROTTED. THESE SUB FRAMES FROM WHAT I KNOW IS VERY DANGEROUS IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF. IT HOLDS YOUR SUSPENSION TOGETHER. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THIS MATTER YET? ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE FOR THEM TO MAKE THIS ISSUE A RECALL? *TR

THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS A CONSISTENT TENDENCY TO SPUTTER, HESITATE, AND/OR COMPLETELY SHUT-OFF, ESPECIALLY AFTER FUELING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BUSY ROADWAYS AND AND INTERSECTIONS. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED BUT I QUICKLY REALIZED THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM WAS AND WAS EMPLOYING A SHOT-IN-THE-DARK METHOD. SINCE THEN I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT WITH NO RESPONSE FROM JEEP/CHRYSLER/DODGE. I AM THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE NOW, AS I DO NOT WANT MY WIFE AND CHILD TO BE SUBJECTED TO THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD. *TR
