Tank Assembly problems of the 2007 Jeep Compass

When attempting to fill the gas tank at any commercial gas station the pump nozzle shuts off immediately. It's almost impossible to fill the gas tank since only a few ounces of fuel is released before the nozzle shuts off. Sometimes just before the nozzle shuts, gas and bubbles are released out of the filler neck. This problem will cause the vehicle to be worthless for a trade -in or a personal sale. To repair the problem the gas tank and filler tube must be replaced. The cost is around $500. Plus labor. The flap valve can't be repaired since it's connected to the vehicle computer and will show a safety warning stating that the roll over safety feature is disabled. There are other model years of Jeeps that had a recall and this 2007 model should have a safety recall.

Fuel overflows and spills out of gas tank opening when filling up.

The gas tank gauge stopped functioning properly. It will read empty when full & started to go up despite being low. Have to use trip mileage to determine when to fill up not best method. But gauge is not accurate or reliable. I thought it was just me but I see this is a relatively common problem & has a service bulletin.
