Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Jeep Compass

I have a 2012 Jeep Compass 4 x 4 and when attempting to fuel the vehicle the fuel pump nozzle will not stay locked in to pump fuel until full. Took the vehicle to the dealer and was told it was the roll over valve in the fuel tank was stuck and that the fuel tank would have to be replaced. I read about the safety recall NHTSA # m11 and m14 which stated that 2012 Jeep Compass and patriot produced between 12/17/2011 and 01/02/2012 had damaged roll over valves installed in the tanks and where subject to the recall. The complaint I have is my vehicle which was produced on 4/12/2012 has the exact same problem but was not included in the recall.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Jeep Compass. While adding fuel to the vehicle, the fuel pump would continue to click off. The vehicle was taken to port jefferson Jeep (rt 347, port jefferson, NY) where it was diagnosed that the fuel transfer line and fuel tank were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 60,000.

The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Compass. Upon fueling the vehicle, the fuel pump made a clicking noise. The filler failed to receive the fuel, causing it to have to be pumped slowly due to the failure. The dealer (westbury Jeep Chrysler Dodge ram srt, 100 jericho turnpike, jericho, NY 11753, (516) 336-4784) was unable to provide an appointment within a reasonable time frame. An independent mechanic inspected and diagnosed the vehicle. The manufacturer was notifeid of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000.

2012 Jeep Compass check ball issue I have a 2012 Jeep Compass with 59,000 miles on it. During a fuel stop two weeks ago, I discovered the nozzle would shut off after fueling for a few seconds. To ensure it wasn't the nozzle at the fuel pump, I tried 3 other pumps at different gas stations. So, I took the vehicle in to the dealership to get a diagnosis. The mechanic said the check ball valve in the fuel tank is stuck and the only way to have this issue repaired is to replace the entire fuel tank. The total cost with the new fuel tank and labor will be $1,600. Just to have a second opinion, I took it to a well respected local mechanic in my town and he told me the same thing. I know the smaller Jeeps, like the Compass, have had fuel tank recalls in the past because of ventilation issues and the roll over valves. There were a lot of people on Jeep forums complaining about this. Some folks were eligible for recalls and some were not. The other fuel tank issue I read about was the issue I am having with the check ball being stuck and having to pay for a new fuel tank. Personally, I think it is ridiculous and I'm not the only one, that a person has to pay to have an entire new fuel tank installed because a company is manufacturing vehicles with defective fuel tanks. So, what happens when I drive a hundred miles and the new fuel tank check ball gets stuck? do I have to go back to the mechanic, pay $1,600 and have this person install a new tank every time the check ball gets stuck? it's senseless that the consumer has to worry about a vehicle's unreliability because of a manufacturer's flaw and the company not doing anything about it. I called Jeep corporate and they said they can't do anything to help me. I wanted to let the NHTSA know that the fca car company is continuing to send flawed products out the doors of their factories and ignoring the issue.

I have had this Jeep for little over a year and have had to replace the fuel pump, the drive chain, front control arms and now I am told that the subframe is rusted and apparently cracked as it makes awfully load noises in the back. I have contacted a Jeep dealer to ck on the replacement of the subframe. I agree, do not buy a Jeep.

I have been experiencing a problem with my car cutting off, especially while stopped at a red light more often than not on local roadways. If it doesn't completely shut off the sensation to cut off is definitely felt. I originally thought it was the spark plugs and had those replaced, however, the situation continues to persist. I have been told on one or more occasions it may be the fuel pump. I was recommended I take my vehicle directly to the dealership. The other issue that is also very pronounced is the noise my engine makes while idling. It can best described as a loud whirling sound but not quite a rattle. I have never heard my car sound so noisy. I have noticed perhaps in the last 6 months the windshield wipers come on involuntarily without me engaging their use. I have searched Jeep's website regarding any recall information on these aforementioned issues but to no avail.

1. Fuel pump started arching and nozzle to hose was coming loose-smelt gas while in motion, gas gauge started dropping dramatically 2. Horn stopped working-while driving I tried to warn another vehicle who was trying to back out while I was behind them, luckily they heard me yelling 3. Back windshield wiper stopped working while in motion trying to back out in the rain 4. Struts went 5. Rotors went 6. Cross member-noticed while driving and took 2 weeks before dealership could get my appointment right to get it taken care of since it was recalled 7. Tipm is going. Lost power to 2/2 outlets in the vehicle. 8. Cv axle is going. Sounds really bad and sounds like both passenger and driver side. Treated this vehicle with lots of care and so did previous owner. This tells me this is not a reliable vehicle and a safe vehicle I can drive my daughter in.

While driving on I-30 at 70 mph, my Jeep just died. No warning sign of any kind, just completely shut down, which almost caused several wrecks. I got to the median, waited about 10 minutes, it started and I drove about 20 more miles, then it happened again. This has been going on for about a month, took it to the local mechanic where it was put on the computer, couldn't find anything wrong. I had him (mechanic) keep it till it happened to him. Finally it did, took the fuel pump off and the plug was melted, as well as melted a hole in the fuel pump. He stated he is surprised we didn't blow up. I plan on taking the burned plug & pump to the Dodge house on Monday, very dangerous vehicle!.

Check engine light came on, I immediately took it to a local shop, they investigated the cause of the alarm, and discovered that the code had to do with the evaporator system, or something like that, which I think monitors return vapors and has something to do with emission controls. They discovered, after tracing the cause of the air leakage, that the fuel pump module, which is plastic, was burnt and distended due to an overheating fuel pump. This apparatus is at the top of the fuel tank and can be accessed through a "trap door" beneath the second seats. Vapor was being emitted at that point. There was never any warning or sounds to indicate the fuel pump was overheating. The fuel pump and fuel module are being replaced and the technicians think this will fix the problem. Apparently I was lucky that no vapors ignited because the gas tank probably would have blown up. By going on the internet I have discovered other Jeep Compass owners have also had this condition happen to them.

Vehicle was not accelerating properly. Bucking and jerking for the first approx. 500' of acceleration. Very unsafe when pulling out into traffic. Acted as if it were out of gas, then would finally kick in. The problem was reported 1/22/13, and a computer update was performed by the dealership. The problem occurred again. The vehicle was brought to the dealership 1/31/13 and the dealership couldn't find a problem. Returned the vehicle to owner. The vehicle continuously had this problem, however, it was random and could not be re-created by the dealer. The vehicle was brought back to the dealership 4/5/13. A test drive was performed with the owner for 106 miles, but the problem could not be recreated. The vehicle kept randomly failing to accelerate. Finally, on 4/11/13, the vehicle was not accelerating properly and the dealership was able to witness the problem. Dealership replaced fuel pump. So far the issue has not re-occurred, however, this report is being filed in order to notify the safety board of potential safety issue and danger to public. This driver was nearly killed because of the vehicles failure to accelerate in high speed traffic. The dealership's refusal to find a problem when "no computer codes" would come up didn't help. This report was written by the owner.

We bought our Jeep Compass in January 2007. Approx. Date for this problem is sept 2011. Our Jeep started acting like it was going to stall when stopped at a light or when in motion. At other times, it wouldn't start after multiple attempts. Most times it would start. One day it did not start at all and we decided to take it in to the dealership the next day. That morning, it started, but we still took it in. The engine light was on also. We told them we think its the battery because we had issues with that already (battery replaced in 2010 and again in, I think, 2011, something in the Jeep was draining the battery). Long beach CA dealership. I think they charged us a fee to hook it up to the computer, they could not find the problem, and said it was not the battery. They said if it happens again, to bring it back. Over the past year, the stalling increased and the Jeep was not starting correctly. Aug 1, 2012, approx. Mileage 104,000, we tried to start our Jeep, and it wouldn't start at all. We had it towed to biloxi ms dealership and we told them this had happened before. The engine light was on again and another light I cant remember what it was for. They hooked it up to their computer and it told them it was the fuel pump. They proceeded to start to replace it, but, before they did, they came to us and had us look at the connector switch for the fuel pump. It had melted, had burns on it, and had melted through the pump. Why this is not a safety recall is beyond me when I see others have this same problem! the mechanic said we were lucky this thing had not caught on fire while we were driving it!! and even more disturbing, the fuel pump is located under the backseat! what if we had our grandson with us and it caught fire, or even worse, exploded? anyone with a Jeep Compass with these problems should have their fuel pumps looked at immediately!.
