17 problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2007 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When putting fuel in the gas tank, the pump kicks off and gas splashes out like the tank is full. We have to hold the nozzle and let it trickle in the gas for quite sometime. It doesn't matter how we hold the gas nozzle or what angle, it simply shuts off the pump like its full, and I'm dealing with spilt gas on me and the ground! I cannot fill my tank! after speaking with a Jeep dealership, they verified it does happen to the Compasses. What! there is a recall for the 2012, for the same problem. I am requesting a full refund for getting mine fixed, for seems to be the same problem. The problem got worse, I need gas and it alas it didn't allow for a fill up of gas.
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.
Filled gas tank. Afterwards engine stalled in traffic.
After fueling vehicle to full tank, after less than a mile traveled, while driving, vehicle sputters and stalls out. Will usually restart after vehicle comes to a stop. Happens after 90-95% of fuel fillups. Has been happining for a few months now, have noticed in internet forums that this is happening to other drivers as well of this type of vehicle.
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.

After fueling the vehicle from any level to full the car will stall when at idle within 5 minutes of run-time. It will stall at least two more times and then run fine for the remainder of the tank. On exam by our mechanic it appears to be caused by the rollover valve in the gas tank which requires complete tank replacement. This is a safety concern because the valve is malfunctioning and could cause fuel to spill in event of a roll over. It also is a safety issue from stalling in traffic causing a road hazard.
Stalls after fill up. We do not top off or overfill the tank. Everytime we fill the tank up to the automatic shut off, the engine stalls within about 30 seconds. Generally, the engine will stall if idling at a stop light after fillup. The engine does not stall if the vehicle is running above 25-30 miles per hour. The engine starts right back up without problem, but will continue to stall. After vehicle has been driven a few miles, the stalling issue disappears entirely.
Every time after refueling, my 2007 Jeep Compass will stall and/or buck and almost stall soon afterwards. It's a very dangerous scenario that leaves me without power steering usually in the middle of traffic.

We purchased the vehicle new in January 2008. It has less than 100,000 miles on it. The Jeep has been a very reliable vehicle, until recently. Within the past month, it has stalled on us five times (twice on a four lane highway), no malfunction light. When it stalls, the steering wheel locks up. Also, when refueling the tank, the pump shut offs after every $0. 10-$0. 20 worth of gas. Refueling the tank takes approximately 10-15 minutes. Originally, we believed it was the pumps at a certain gas station; however, trips to numerous gas stations resulted in the same issue. The Jeep stalls only after refueling. I began researching online, and I thought the issue might have been a clogged evap system. However, we brought it to our mechanics; unfortunately, it needs a new fuel tank. The repair estimate totals $1,131. 07 for parts, labor, and taxes. Our mechanics, thought there could have been a recall on the fuel tank, or possibly an extended manufacturer's warranty, there wasn't. I began researching the aforementioned fuel tank issue, I found numerous complaints about the fuel tank. The manufacturer has been notified of the issues from Jeep owners, myself included. .

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that it took an unusually long time to fill up the vehicle with fuel. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 160,000. The VIN was unavailable.
When fueling, the nozzle from the gas pump immediately shuts off as if the tank is full. It takes a lot of effort to fuel up without fuel splashing out and overflowing on the car and pavement. I have used different fuel stations, changed the angle of the nozzle, fueled up at different temperatures, changed the evap canister but still the problem exists. After research, I found that I am not the only Jeep owner that has this problem. It is the one-way rollover valve that is located in the gastank. Also other cars made from the same manufacturer have a recall for this same perilous problem. I am writing this complaint to get a recall for my car and any other Jeeps that have the same faulty one-way valve in the gas tank.
Every time for the last 10 fill ups the car will stall and finally quit, usually in traffic. It will start right back but going a few yards it starts stalling again. I keep it from dieing completely by putting it in neutual and giving it gas like at a red light. Also sometimes its hard putting gas in no matter how much is in the tank. It fills like its full even though it may just have a quarter tank, half tank, etc.
Every single time I fill up my gas tank to full and leave the gas station it stalls while driving. It doesn't matter what gas station or grade of gas, same result. Very dangerous because I drive on the highway.

. My 2007 Jeep Compass 4x4 ltd stall when I fuel it up. I have replaced both sending units and the vapor canister. My mechanic says the rollover valve in the tank needs to be replaced since this is a common problem with other Jeep Compass and patriot vehicles. My mechanic must replace the gas tank as the rollover valve cannot be replaced to avoid this problem in the future. This is a common problem with both of these vehicles and can cause an accident. Vehicle stalls every time when coming to a stop directly after fueling vehicle. It will stall 4-6 times but will start back up with no problems. After vehicle has been on the road with rpm's up for a few minutes the problem goes away. It is very dangerous to pull out into traffic or trying to turn a corner and have your vehicle stall. This should be a recall from Jeep. . . It's not safe.
Fuel hose going in tank will not always take fuel , spilling some on the ground, very dangerous if I don,t go in the store so they can put floor dry on it, does not do it all the time , took the tank off once but did not find anything ,.
