2007 Jeep Compass fuel/propulsion system problems

“Every time I fill up my gas tank the car will stall and shut down in the middle of the road. This is extremely dangerous as I need to put my car in park to restart it.”

“MY 2007 JEEP COMPASS WAS JUST SITTING IN THE YARD NOT BEING DRIVEN WAS NOT HOT AND IT JUST CAUGHT ON FIRE BY ITSELF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO COME AND ASSIST WITH PUT IN THE FIRE OUT THE FIRE CHIEF STATED FROM HIS INVESTIGATION THAT IT WAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM FROM THE LIGHTS AND AS I SAID THE VEHICLE WAS NOT BEING OPERATED AND THE LIGHTS WAS NOT ON”

“WHEN PUTTING FUEL IN THE GAS TANK, THE PUMP KICKS OFF AND GAS SPLASHES OUT LIKE THE TANK IS FULL. WE HAVE TO HOLD THE NOZZLE AND LET IT TRICKLE IN THE GAS FOR QUITE SOMETIME. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW WE HOLD THE GAS NOZZLE OR WHAT ANGLE, IT SIMPLY SHUTS OFF THE PUMP LIKE ITS FULL, AND I'M DEALING WITH SPILT GAS ON ME AND THE GROUND! I CANNOT FILL MY TANK! AFTER SPEAKING WITH A JEEP DEALERSHIP, THEY VERIFIED IT DOES HAPPEN TO THE COMPASSES. WHAT! THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2012, FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM REQUESTING A FULL REFUND FOR GETTING MINE FIXED, FOR SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE, I NEED GAS AND IT ALAS IT DIDN'T ALLOW FOR A FILL UP OF GAS. *TR”

“IN MY FAMILY WE OWN A 2007 JEEP COMPASS WHICH WE ARE PLEASED TO OWN. HOWEVER, LAST YEAR (2018) WE FOUND THAT IT WAS SPITTING GASOLINE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AFTER WE FINISHED PUMPING IT. IT LOOKED LIKE THE CAR WAS PUMPING THE GAS BACK TO US WITHOUT WE EVEN TURNING THE CAR ON. AT THE BEGINNING I COULD NOT PUMP ENOUGH GASOLINE INTO THE FUEL TANK. IT STOPPED UNEXPECTEDLY AND SPIT THE FUEL OUT, WITH ENOUGH FORCE AND QUANTITY TO FILL THE CAP COMPARTMENT AND NOTABLY REACHING THE FLOOR. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THREE FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY CHANGED A COUPLE OF PARTS AND PARTIALLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM IN FEBRUARY 2019. PARTIALLY BECAUSE WHEN WE FILLED THE TANK FULL, IT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO TURN OFF WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF FUELING. HOWEVER, IN JUNE 2019, WE FOUND THAT THE CAR WAS AGAIN SPITTING GAS OUT WHEN WE FILL THE TANK TO FULL. AGAIN, WITH ENOUGH FORCE AND QUANTITY TO FILL THE CAP COMPARTMENT AND NOTABLY REACHING THE FLOOR. THEREFORE, WE DECIDED TO MAKE THIS SAFETY COMPLAIN BECAUSE NOT ONLY MY FAMILY IS IN HIGH DANGER BUT ALSO EVERY PERSON AT A GAS STATION WHERE WE FILL WITH GASOLINE. MOREOVER, IT IS CONCERNING THAT A CAR DEVELOPS THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BY ITSELF AND JEEP…”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP COMPASS. AFTER THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED EACH TIME THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED. ON ONE OCCASION, WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE HAD TO BE RESTARTED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.”

“AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL, THE JEEP WILL BEGIN TO STUTTER AND THE ENGINE WILL DIE. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS IMMEDIATELY BUT OTHER TIMES IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES AND WILL HAPPEN WHILE IN TRAFFIC. AFTER THE INTIAL STUTTERING AND DYING, THE CAR RUNS FINE AFTER RESTARTING BUT THIS HAPPENS WITH EVERY FUEL FILL-UP.”
