2007 Jeep Compass: engine stalls while driving

Filed Jul 12, 2023 · Engine, Steering · WI

The vehicle has a problem that it will stall out after filling up with gas. The timing of the stall out is such that within a minute or two of leaving the gas station and pulling into traffic, the vehicle will buck and the motor will shut off. when this happens, the vehicle also loses power steering and brakes. This creates an INCREDIBLY dangerous situation as the driver essentially has no control any longer. It is a consistent, repeatable problem that occurs every time the vehicle is filled with gas.

Car stalls after filling up gas tank...apparently this is a known issue and is happening to my daughters car and she was almost in a bad accident due to the car stalling when pulling out of a wawa gas station. There is apparently a need to replace the fuel tank due to a vapor lock issue which chrysler is aware of and is happening in more then one type of their vehicles... This is a dangerous issue that if not recalled and the company is held accountable will lead to death.
