2008 Jeep Compass fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
Electronic throttle control lite comes on randomly when starting or driving locks the car in limp mode then ABS lite comes on and the car shakes till you stop and turn it off. When the car is in limp mode you can only get the RPM's up to 2000. Car went from 60mph to 30 MPH in about 100 yards on the highway. We have only owned the jeep four months.
