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.
Every time I fill up my gas tank the car will stall and shut down in the middle of the road. This is extremely dangerous as I need to put my car in park to restart it.
Every time I fill my Jeep up with gas not even 5 secs after I leave the engine turns off. Now the check engine has popped up on my dashboard. I ran a code reader and it found code p0420.

The vehicle failed inspection last week due to x58 front/rear crossmember being completely rusted and in dangerous condition. Apparently this was under warranty because this has been a serious issue. I was not aware of the problem nor the warranty and now I'm stuck with a car that is not drivable.
I bought the Jeep Compass around July or Aug. No sooner then I bought it it would jerk when I would take off. Then my rpms would rev up. Lile its not shifting the rifht way. Also my Jeep has a hard time going up hill. I don't feel like my Jeep is safe and it scares me. Also my engine light came on today.

I have been experiencing a problem with my car cutting off, especially while stopped at a red light more often than not on local roadways. If it doesn't completely shut off the sensation to cut off is definitely felt. I originally thought it was the spark plugs and had those replaced, however, the situation continues to persist. I have been told on one or more occasions it may be the fuel pump. I was recommended I take my vehicle directly to the dealership. The other issue that is also very pronounced is the noise my engine makes while idling. It can best described as a loud whirling sound but not quite a rattle. I have never heard my car sound so noisy. I have noticed perhaps in the last 6 months the windshield wipers come on involuntarily without me engaging their use. I have searched Jeep's website regarding any recall information on these aforementioned issues but to no avail.
After refueling, vehicle starts up and drives as normal for a short time until reaching the first stop or stoplight, at which point the engine returns to idle. The engine will begin to sputter/weaken (full foot on the gas but reacts as if it is only down 1/4 of the way), the oil light turns on, and then subsequently dies while still in drive. This has happened at least 5 times since this first occurred on Jan. 31, 2015. Every time it occurs, it is immediately after refueling, despite using different gas stations and brands. First even occurred while I was turning left from a light into another parking lot. (sputter, then died) another event was while I was idling at a red light. (engine completely died) the most recent event occurred while I was driving 45 mph down the road, and it began to sputter and weaken after then making a right hand turn, upon which I pulled the car over in the road, turned the engine off and then back on again. It would have been incredibly dangerous if I had been on a highway.
While driving on I-30 at 70 mph, my Jeep just died. No warning sign of any kind, just completely shut down, which almost caused several wrecks. I got to the median, waited about 10 minutes, it started and I drove about 20 more miles, then it happened again. This has been going on for about a month, took it to the local mechanic where it was put on the computer, couldn't find anything wrong. I had him (mechanic) keep it till it happened to him. Finally it did, took the fuel pump off and the plug was melted, as well as melted a hole in the fuel pump. He stated he is surprised we didn't blow up. I plan on taking the burned plug & pump to the Dodge house on Monday, very dangerous vehicle!.
The vehicle's engine has a consistent tendency to sputter, hesitate, and/or completely shut-off, especially after fueling. This has happened on busy roadways and and intersections. We have attempted to have the problem diagnosed and repaired but I quickly realized they had no idea what the real problem was and was employing a shot-in-the-dark method. Since then I have found several other owners with this same problem but with no response from Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge. I am the primary driver of this vehicle now, as I do not want my wife and child to be subjected to this potential hazard.
