VEHICLE STALLS OUT AFTER FILLING GAS TANK WITH FUEL. IT STALLS WHILE IDLING IN PARK AND IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND WHEN STOPPED WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE. AFTER ROME ONLINE SEARCHING, THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK NOT STOPPING THE CHARCOAL FILTER FROM BEING FLOODED WITH FUEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE MONTH SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. IT LAST HAPPENED ON 09/10/2020

ETC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON FOR NO REASON RESULTING IN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50MPH. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY. ISSUE ALSO OCCURS WHILE MERGING/ TURNING WHILE ACCELERATING, CAR IS USUALLY STATIONERY FIRST. THIS ISSUE IS WIDE SPREAD IN THE JEEP COMMUNITY. HOPEFULLY THIS HASNT KILLED SOMEONE ALREADY.

I GOT MY 08 COMPASS IN 2014, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF RUSTING, BOLTS, ARM BEARINGS ETC...I HAVE FOR PAST 2 MONTHS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FILL MY GAS TANK AS IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT .20 CENTS AT A TIME. TRIED 4 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. MY MECHANIC HAS TRIED ALL VACUMM SEALS, PUMPS, HOSES,VENTS, VAPOR CANISTER, VAPOR PURGE SOLNOID,AND CHECKING EVERYTHING FROM A TO B. SAID ONLY THING IT COULD BE WAS GAS TANK. WENT ONLINE AND GOOGLED FUELING ISSUES WITH JEEP COMPAS, THOUSANDS....AND THIS ISNT A PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER. IF JEEPKNOWS ABOUT THIS, WHY ISNT THERE A RECALL. I CAN NOT SPEND 20 MINUTES TRYING TO FILL MY TANK WITH 2 SMALL BOYS, ONE WHO HAS SPECIAL NEEDS AND THE FULL SERVICE STATIONS REFUSE TO SERVICE ME. CHRYSLER/JEEP NEEDS TO HELP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I NEED ANSWERSAND I CANT AFFORD 1200.00 TO FIX IT. CAR IS STOPPED, ENGINE OFF, NO MOTION. STOPPED IN GAS STATION. FUEL TANK IS DEFECTIVE AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS WHEN TRYING TO FILL TANK. I HAVE PAPERS FROM MECHANIC.

TRIED TO PUT FUEL IN TANK AND FUEL SPLASHED BACK AND KEPT SHUTTING OFF. TRIED 2 OTHER STATIONS AND SAME RESULT. MY DAUGHTER HAS THE CAR AT COLLEGE. SHE SAID SHE COULD ONLY PUT FUEL IN THE CAR BY CONTINUING TO PUMP VERY SLOW AND TO KEEP TRYING. WITH ANY KIND OF FAST PUMP THE FUEL WOULD SPLASH BACK. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
