2007 Jeep Compass

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. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE AND PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AT 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL ODOR EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL CAP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED AND A TUNE UP WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED TO SHIFT GEARS AND WAS JERKING AS IF IT WAS GOING TO STALL. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ON 6/30/13. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OXYGEN SENSORS AND THE O2 HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER ON 1/14/16 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,483.

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.
