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.
I bought this car for my daughter used and the fuel mileage was poor. I have had this car to multiple shops and even a Dodge dealer who did not diagnose the problem correctly. I found a new garage that was very honest and they found that the valve inside the gas tank that controls where the fuel gets transferred to was faulty. This caused gas to be sent to the catalytic converter and vapors to be sent to the engine causing the car to stall within a 1/8 a 1/2 of a mile after filling the tank. The car would basically shut down and stall out causing control issues. This also caused damage to the converters and also the coal filter on the gas tank. It has taken many dealers to find one that could diagnose the problem and after about $3000 in repairs it is finally being fixed. This fault in the valve could cause a fire with heat in the converter and is very dangerous. I have seen a lot of information online with other Dodge Compass customers having this problem and the only way to fix it, is to replace the gas tank. The other option is to never fill up your gas tank. This is a safety concern that I believe should be looked into.
Car stalls after filling tank every time. Runs rough then stalls and power steering cuts out, locks up on the road. When restarted it stalls again several times. Very dangerous on the highway in a heavy traffic.
Our 2007 Jeep Compass has been stalling completely (engine shuts off) shortly after we fill up the gas tank. This issue has been occurring for around one year. It has happened while driving or stopped at a traffic light, less than a mile from the gas station, usually within a few minutes of pumping the gas. We fear filling up the tank to the top because the car has stalled in lanes of traffic. In the better cases, it stalls at a red light. This is a dangerous situation. We were encouraged to file this report after corresponding online with other Jeep owners who experienced this exact same issue.

Update to complaint. Jeep dealer just called and they are replacing the fuel tank and charcoal canister was told this was a common issue and they had seen it before . The rollover valve in the fuel tank was bad and sticking open allowing fuel to dump into the evap system filling the charcoal canister with gas causing the stall . This is a major safety issue since a faulty valve wont shut off in the event of a crash causing a fire and can also cause a accident from stalling in traffic while in motion and the steering locking up. I have been in the auto repair business for 30 years at a dealership and seen a lot of issues but NHTSA really need to address this problem before someone is killed if they have not already. Jeep Compass stalls after refueling in motion on highway, steering locks up when car stalls and makes Jeep uncontrollable. Had Jeep towed to dealer and they found a bad charcoal canister was "full of fuel" replaced canister drove for one week and refueled managed to go 1 mile and Jeep stalled again at about 45 mph . Got Jeep stopped and restarted managed to get the last 1/2 mile home and it stalled again pulling in drive way and almost ran thru the front of my house before stopping. Extremely unsafe car returning back to the dealer service dept for the 3rd time . After reading online I have found this to be a common issue on the Jeep Compass some resulting in accidents from loss of control. I am finding the rollover valve is bad allowing fuel to be pushed back thru the evap system causing the stall.

I bought a used 2007 Jeep Compass 4x4 for my son in April 2015. He is just learning to drive. After filling up the gas tank and pulling out of the gas station the car slowed to an idle, steering wheel locked, and the car stalled. It turned back on but could hardly make a turn onto the street without almost stalling again. Once it started going a few miles up the road it did not stall. This happened every time we filled the tank. We cannot fill the tank. I am very scared to let an almost 16 year old drive a car that is so dangerous and fear he may get killed when the car stalls. He will be driving this car to school every day and with winter approaching quickly I will be praying. He knows not to fill it all the way up but I don't feel this should be the case for anyone. I purchased an extended warranty but this issue is not covered. I also mentioned this issue to several mechanics and they have no idea what is causing this to happen.
Shortly after refueling, the car stalled out when idling at a stop light. This stalling has happened several times after this, always immediately after refilling the tank. Usually the car will stall shortly after you drive away from the gas station and slow down or come to a stop. The car will start up again but may stall again if you only travel a short distance and slow down or stop. The next time you drive, the car is usually ok and has no further problems until the tank is filled again. After reading several internet forums, this problem is quite common to Chrysler vehicles. The problem is the vapor/liquid separator valve located at the top of the fuel tank. The valve fails and allows liquid into the charcoal canister/emissions system. Liquid fuel then gets sent into the manifold intake by mistake which stalls the car out. This could be a major safety issue if the car stalls while you are turning into traffic and it also causes you to lose steering and braking power. It is obviously a design flaw by Chrysler and the only fix is to have a whole new gas tank installed because there isn't a way to just replace just the faulty valve. It is built in to the tank.
Since about November 2011, my 2007 Jeep Compass has stalled out after refueling when I fill the gas tank. It does not stall out if I do not fill the tank all the way. It has been inspected by two different Chrysler dealerships in 2012 and 2014 and both falsely accused me of overfilling the tank. No one has been able to fix the problem.
Fuel-spit-back every time when I fill up my tank. Slow filling with back up gas. I read on the internet this is a known problem for Chrysler, but still why is not a recall done?.
