Filed May 29, 2019 · Fuel system · 86,000 miles · IL

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.

I bought this car for my daughter used and the fuel mileage was poor. I have had this car to multiple shops and even a dodge dealer who did not diagnose the problem correctly. I found a new garage that was very honest and they found that the valve inside the gas tank that controls where the fuel gets transferred to was faulty. This caused gas to be sent to the catalytic converter and vapors to be sent to the engine causing the car to stall within a 1/8 a 1/2 of a mile after filling the tank. The car would basically shut down and stall out causing control issues. This also caused damage to the converters and also the coal filter on the gas tank. It has taken many dealers to find one that could diagnose the problem and after about $3000 in repairs it is finally being fixed. This fault in the valve could cause a fire with heat in the converter and is very dangerous. I have seen a lot of information online with other dodge compass customers having this problem and the only way to fix it, is to replace the gas tank. The other option is to never fill up your gas tank. This is a safety concern that I believe should be looked into.

There's a fuel issue, as you top off the gas drive it a half a mile the car jerks and shuts off steering wheel locks up, after a few times of it happening after fueling the car up. Its dangerous and a safety issue. Looked it up and a bunch of people with my model had the same issue and it has to due with fuel getting in the evap chamber which requires a full tank replacement reported from multiple owners of my model. Which is an emissions and safety issue. Its in motion less than a mile after fueling completely when it jerks then stalls.

Fuel tank--jeep dealer says my entire fuel tank needs to be replaced. The tank only allows a tiny amount of fuel to go in when pumping gas. This is my first time being a jeep owner and it seems ridiculous to have to replace such a major part.

Car stalls after refueling. Problem begins a few minutes after filling the tank. I have to sit at the gas station and try keeping it running before leaving, it is not safe in traffic. It only does it after refueling. I am told I need to replace the gas tank to correct the problem. They tell me gas is going back into the charcoal canister messing with the computer. A bad valve in the gas tank, requiring the entire gas tank to be replaced. I have been doing some research on this issue and finding a lot of people having the same issue it is not just a jeep compass issue.

When you feel the vehicle the vehicle will cut out and stopped in traffic after reading on several web sites this is not a isolated incident this is a majority incident. It only happens after you fill the tank full it will stop with no warning and mesa for 10 to 15 seconds before it'll restart again. If this is not a safety issue I don't know what is somebody's going to get killed.
