Jeep Compass owners have reported 4 problems related to other fuel system tank mounting (under the other fuel system category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Fuel tank--Jeep dealer says my entire fuel tank needs to be replaced. The tank only allows a tiny amount of fuel to go in when pumping gas. This is my first time being a Jeep owner and it seems ridiculous to have to replace such a major part.

Issues with car stalling/shutting off after filling up with fuel. This often happens when car is idle or while in drive. Very dangerous and unsafe conditions, especially on busy highways. Has caused near accidents on many occasions. Issue occurred after filling up gas tank completely but then happened after every fill up, regardless of amount. Car also takes longer to fill up as gas pump at gas station would click off while attempting to fill car.
Right after I fill the gas tank of my 2007 Jeep Compass the engine will stall. Typically, if I am stopped at a stop light less than a quarter mile from the gas station where I filled up the engine will just die on me. It will start right back up again and I don't experience any trouble after burning a little fuel. I am not getting any lights on my dashboard and there aren't any engine codes being thrown. Also for the record I am not overfilling my gas tank, at least the automatic shutoff on the pump seems to stop when it should. If I fill the tank 1-2 gallons less this does not happen. When the car dies I loose complete control of all electronics and power steering and braking. This has happened many times on city streets, pulling into a highway from leaving a gas station, stationary, and in motion. This happens every fill up.
When filling the gas tank via gas pump auto shut off, the car will stall. This has happened the last two fill ups. The car has 92389 miles on it. The first time, it stalled after starting then again after entering highway going up hill with loaded dump truck right behind me. He barely missed hitting me from behind. Plus car looses power steering. 2nd time this happened was next tank fill up and stalled before leaving gas station. Afraid to drive and have parked car. Roll over valve is not working (stuck open?). If car was in roll over accident, fire could result from spilling fuel. Afraid what might happen if pulling onto highway from ramp and stall in front of 18 wheeler.
