After 4 years of driving my 2011 Jeep Compass and hitting 95,000 miles on it, I noticed that there were problems with filling up my tank and my car stalling. If I don't stop the gas pump myself, a few seconds after pulling out of the gas station my car would stall and idle until my engine would just shut off and my wheel and break would lock. This happened while entering a highway, going into a busy intersection, and trying to get out of large mall space. In all of these settings, I was inches away from a car crash. I have brought this up to multiple mechanics who have never heard of this problem and weren't sure what to do. After doing my own research I realized that this is a common Chrysler/Jeep issue with models made between 2005-2015 models. There are no warning lamps, messages, or any signals that my car is going to stall and idle. I could not imagine a larger safety risk to myself, my passengers, and all of the drivers around me. Last week after filling up my tank and intentionally not filling it up all the way, I thought I was safe to drive home but I was wrong. As I was crossing the intersection five-way traffic, my car began to stall as a semi-truck was heading right into me. Thankfully, I shut my engine off and quickly turned it back on to move out of the middle of the road.

The contact's son owns a 2011 Jeep Compass. The contact stated while his son was exiting the parking lot and driving approximately 15-25 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently stalled and the steering wheel locked-up. The contact did not know whether there were warning lights illuminated. The contact's son was able to veer to the side of the road. The contact stated his son was able to restart the vehicle and drove to his destination. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred while driving. The contact's son was able to restart the vehicle and drove to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed that the roll over bent valve in the fuel tank was not closing properly leaking fuel into the EVAP system causing the vehicle to stall and lock the steering wheel. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency for assistance. A case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.

I was driving down the road on route 73 in cinnaminson nj at 930 pm with my 15 year old daughter. All of a sudden, without warning - the engine shut off and my car had zero power. The power steering was locked up and we almost got rear ended by a huge truck. It was terrifying. I called road side assistance and had to wait in a dark car with no heat. This is horrible

Jeep stalled after filling it with gas. Steering wheel locks up, due to overflow of gas. Fix would require replacing whole gas tank and system.

After every single time I fuel up my car, the whole car sputters. I have taken my car in and had my oil changed and received a tune up. Last week, after having all of this work done, I go to fill up my tank, I turn the car on it sputters as I accelerate out of the gas station, then I pulled out onto a very busy street to drive home and not even a quarter mile down the road my car stalls out, power steering is lost, and I almost get hit from on coming traffic dur to me losing control of the vehicle. I put the car in park and turn the car back on and it seems fine. Again this issue only happens immediately after getting gas. This issue is apparently well known but there is no recall out yet. Here is a link to other people having the exact same problem as me: "bucking after I fill up with gas. - cargurus" https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t29898_ds631498

The etc light comes on and the vehicle won't go when stepping on the gas. The engine cuts off in the middle of driving. Some days it starts some days it doesn't. Replaced the relay switches twice and the etc. Neither seems to help. I drive a highway to work everyday and I pray that if it acts up, I can find a place to pull over

Stalled after filling up with gas. The mechanic was not sure what the problem was but after fixing what they thought it may be. $500 dollars latter. It is still stalled after I filled up. Very scary crossing 4 lane's of traffic after your car stalled, starts right back, then stalled again. Now they are tell it may be in the gas tank. I don't have money for all the guessing. Something needs to be done!

Filled tank and car stalled while driving away three times (after driving a short distance) called for a tow and taken to mechanic where they couldn't identify the problem. Then again, approximately three months later, stalled after filling the gas tank while making a left out of the gas station across traffic. Quickly restarted the car, it bucked as though about to stall after another 3/4 mile, and then ran fine. Largest concern is directly after fill up, but there is frequently a buck/hesitation when accelerating as well.
