This Problem Across All Years
WITHIN 2 MINUTES AFTER PUMPING GAS CAR STALLS AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND CAR SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SITUATION AFTER PUMPING WHETHER STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY, TURNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FILLED/TOPPED OFF THE CAR RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR STEERING LOCKS UP AND IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENS UNTIL THE GAS TANK IS LESS THAN FULL.

EVERY TIME I FILL MY CAR WITH GAS I EXPECT THE CAR TO STALL AND TURN OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WHICH JEEP NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR AND REFUSES TO. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO HAVE PEOPLE DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHOSE ENGINES CAN SHUT OFF AT ANY MOMENT CAUSING THEM TO COME TO A COMPLETE STANDSTILL EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE PROBLEM IS THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE VALVE IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT LIQUID FUEL FROM ENTERING THE CHARCOAL CANISTER/EMISSIONS SYSTEM. WHEN THE VALVE FAILS, LIQUID GAS CAN ENTER THE LINE AND FILL THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. AFTER REFUELING THE PCM ON THE VEHICLE DETECTS A CHANGE IN FUEL LEVEL. THEN, WHEN THE ENGINE MEETS CERTAIN TEMPERATURE AND DRIVING CRITERIA, THE PCM ISSUES A PURGE COMMAND TO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER TO REMOVE THE STORED GAS VAPORS. IT'S AT THAT POINT THAT ALL THE LIQUID GAS IN THE LINE GETS SUCKED INTO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. THE PCM EXPECTS TO SEE GAS VAPORS ENTERING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND IT IS PREPARED TO ADJUST AIR/FUEL MIXTURES TO COMPENSATE. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT PREPARED TO SEE LIQUID GAS COMING INTO THE INTAKE. THAT'S WHAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK.

THE GAS TANK WILL NOT TAKE GAS. I HAD THE CATALYT. COVERTER FIXED. THE VALVE INSIDE THE GAS TANK DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, AND MY RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP COMPASSES.

RECENTLY MY 2008 JEEP COMPASS STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH REFUELING. IT WOULD SPIT FUEL BACK OUT ANYTIME I TRIED TO FILL THE TANK. THE DEALER CLEANED THE CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK, BUT IT ONLY LASTED FOR ONE FILL UP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! TODAY, FUEL CAME GUSHING BACK OUT AND SOAKED MY PANTS LEG AND SHOES. CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED OTHER JEEP MODELS (AND OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES) FOR THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, MINE IS NOT BEING RECALLED BECAUSE THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FOR MY MODEL. YET I LOOK ONLINE AND SEE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER JEEP COMPASS OWNERS! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE FAULTY FUEL TANKS AND REGARDLESS OF RECALL STATUS, THEY SHOULD BE REPLACING FUEL TANKS FOR ANYONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM! MY JEEP ONLY HAS 68,000 MILES ON IT. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME TODAY IN FUEL SOAKED PANTS AND NOW THE INTERIOR OF MY JEEP STINKS OF FUEL! THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT COULD HAPPEN WITH THIS FUEL TANK IN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THE HEAT OF SUMMER GETS HERE AND MY FUEL TANK ISN'T VENTING PROPERLY IT COULD BE AN EVEN BIGGER SAFETY RISK! PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE ASAP! I CAN'T AFFORD $1,000 TO REPLACE A FAULTY PLASTIC FUEL TANK!
