Eight problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2012 Jeep Compass. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When putting fuel in the gas tank, the pump will kick off and fuel will splash out on you. You have to hold the nozzle and just let the fuel trickle in. It does not matter the angle of nozzle or how far in or out it is. It will cui off at any time usually at a half a gallon. You then have to hold it and trickle the gas in which depending on how much fuel you need it can take 45 plus minutes. The back splash will get on your hand and clothes . I have to wear a rubber glove,and have had to take my shoes off and put in plastic bag,as well as go change clothes. This is not safe nor is it normal as a lot of Jeep owners are having same problem.

I put gasoline 1dollar and stop like fueling but no real . . Fuel tank transfer tube may cause stall.
Upon doing a total fill up our Jeep, it is now stalling and I end up with no steering. This does it at least 4/5 times each time we fill fuel tank up. Extremely dangerous as unable to steer and entire engine shuts done. This has done this with my family in the car about a minute after getting fuel, if not less, and turning onto a busy street where Jeep stopped running. The vehicle was in motion when this happened, both turning onto busy street and whilst driving on busy street.
Many of these vehicles have a problem with a roll over valve, recall NHTSA 12v14200, the tank needs to be replaced. My vehicle has the same problem. It does not allow me to pump gas properly due to a damaged rollover valve as stated by my mechanic. However, my vehicle is not included in te recall. It should be included and I shouldn't have to pay for it. Files can be uploaded by request. Researched the internet and many other Jeep Compass vehicles have the same problem.
As I was driving on the interstate at 70 mph and the gas gauge showing 1/4 of a tank left, the engine suddenly quit. It would restart. After puttting some gas in it started immediately. Since then, and before, I have let the level run down well below a 1/4 of a tank with no incident. My car is out of warranty, but I called Jeep because this scenario is exactly what was described in the recall notice I received a year or so ago, which said that at high sustained speed a fuel intake hose in the gas tank could collapse, resulting in the engine turning off suddenly and a possible catastrophic accident. I had the recall procedure completed but I did not take any long trips until the day the incident occurred. The Jeep recall specialist told me to take the car back to the dealer to have it checked out. The dealer told me if they didn't find anything wrong it would cost $99 for diagnostic tests. I asked if they would remove the fuel tank to check the hose and they said no I did not leave the car because I didn't think they would be able to find the problem, or duplicate it. I called Jeep again; they called the dealer while I was on the line and asked them to look at the car again. When I took it back I was told the same thing; that if they couldn't duplicate the problem it would cost me $99. They then advised me to try to duplicate the problem again, myself, by driving the car on the interstate until it quit, and then have it towed to the nearest dealer. I couldn't believe I was hearing that so I called the Jeep recall department again, and after some conferring with other people there, the specialist told me that yes, this is what I needed to do; drive the car until it quits. What I find really interesting about this is that Jeep initially was concerned about the possibility of a catastrophic accident, but now that doesn't seem to be a concern. Any advice?.
I was on a road trip in my 2012 Jeep Compass (4x4 latitude version) from the nashville, TN area to the washington d. C. Area, in August, and was monitoring my fuel consumption on the trip. I noted my fuel gauge had been telling me that at the first half of the gas tank I had been getting around 210 miles out of that first half of the tank. My second half of the tank only gave me around 90 miles to the half tank, with about a gallon and a half remaining in the tank when I refueled. This is nearly 100 mile difference in mileage between the two measurements, on average, for highway driving conditions. The issue continues to this day.
