general problems of the 2008 Jeep Compass

After refueling within 1-2 miles spits spuders bucks, then stalls! safty is at issue of causing a accident or getting hit!!!! make Jeep accountable! happens evertime now 6 mos.

The car stalls, and jerks after I put in gas. When it stalls, the car turns off.

Ever time after you fill the car up with gas, the engine will stall and hesitate when pulling out of the gas station. For a mile or two. After that it will run fine until next fill up.

Within 2 minutes after pumping gas car stalls and steering wheel locks and car shuts off. This happens at any situation after pumping whether stationary, in motion, on a city street or a highway, turning. This has happened on multiple occasions.

Etc and traction control light come on for no reason resulting in immediate loss of power at speeds above 50mph. Extremely dangerous when in motion on highway. Issue also occurs while merging/ turning while accelerating, car is usually stationery first. This issue is wide spread in the Jeep community. Hopefully this hasnt killed someone already.

After driving and it sets for about 45 min or 1 hour it is hard to start when it does start the is a smell of fuel coming out of the vents, when it is cold starts fine or if you gone for a shorter time it starts fine but still has the fuel smell out of the vents.

Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Jeep Compass. The contact stated that while parked, the vehicle was leaking fuel from underneath and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 125,000. The VIN was not available. Pam.

Electronic throttle control lite comes on randomly when starting or driving locks the car in limp mode then abs lite comes on and the car shakes till you stop and turn it off. When the car is in limp mode you can only get the rpm's up to 2000. Car went from 60mph to 30 mph in about 100 yards on the highway. We have only owned the Jeep four months.
