Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging Problems of Jeep Compass - part 1

I was filling up my gas tank, the automatic stop on the gas pump never shut off. Gas began spilling out of my car onto the ground. I placed the gas pump back and attempt ed to start my car, my car started but shut off right after signaling my oil was low. I just got my oil changed a week before. My car is now at the shop and I am out of pocket to fix this issue. This was a brand new car and it continues to stall and won't hold a charge. After searching this issue it seems to be a common issue with this vehicle. Also I am told by the dealership that my warranty will not cover this issue.

Vehicle stalls out after filling gas tank with fuel. It stalls while idling in park and it stalls while driving in traffic and when stopped with foot on the brake.

This has happened numerous times in the month since I purchased the vehicle. It last happened on 09/10/2020.

Gas tank is not filling properly and is gurgling when filled. Known recall already published but for some reason it is not being associated with my VIN.

After purchasing my new/used Compass from a dealer in town I went to fill the gas tank up. Not really a problem this time filling the tank but upon stating the vehicle it started to stall shake , spit, and sputter down the road after only about a 1/10 of a mile. During this time of stall the steering became almost impossible to turn while driving towards oncoming traffic . This wasnt the only time it done this . . . . No every time I go to fill up the tank with gas it does the same thing and acts the same way it straightens up after running a few miles (if it stays running ) or restarting the engine. Lately it takes me about a half an hour to fill the tank because the pump shuts off like it is about to over-spill except the tank is empty and it isn't the pump because it does this at every gas station I come to now. The safety factor here is the stalling while in motion without warning loosing control of where my car is going is a safety hazard and this needs to be address before a head on collision.

While driving, cars engine shut off. I would try to start it, sometimes it would start back up again I would drive it and then the engine would shut off and slowly stop moving. Car was diagnosed with the engine code p0335 and p0339 crankshaft position sensor malfunction/intermittent. Within the same week of having it replaced, now I'm having issues filling the tank with gas. Gas pump stops filling every 0. 2 gallons and clicks. Tried moving the gas pump in different positions but still won't fill. Gas ends up bubbling and overflows even though the tank is only at a quarter tank. Looks like this is very common with Jeep Compasses. It's either the fuel tank transfer tube or need to get the whole gas tank replaced.

Stalled after filling up with gas. The mechanic was not sure what the problem was but after fixing what they thought it may be. $500 dollars latter. It is still stalled after I filled up.

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.
