2007 Jeep Compass 4X4

PROBLEMS AFTER FUELING: AFTER FILLING MY VEHICLE UP, WITHOUT FAIL, THE ENGINE STALLS, SHUTS OFF, VIOLENTLY JERKS AND/OR DECREASES SPEED AND THEN RETURNS TO REGULAR DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE CHANGED THE GAS CAP, GAS STATIONS AND OCTANE LEVELS, AS WELL AS THE AMOUNT OF GAS CONSUMED, ALL WITHOUT ANY RESOLVE. ALTHOUGH I NEVER TIP OFF THE GAS TANK, I WILL FILL THE GAS TANK AND I EXPERIENCE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR WITHOUT FAIL. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I SIT AT THE GAS PUMP OR DRIVE AWAY IMMEDIATELY, THE VEHICLE WILL ENTER A DISTRESSING ROUTINE OF JOLTING, AND TURNING OFF. THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE AT TIMES, THE UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR HAS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC WHILE CROSSING BUSY INTERSECTIONS, DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AS WELL AS LEAVING THE PUMP. IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN MOTION IT WILL SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THIS OCCURS WHETHER I'M STILL AT THE PUMP PREPARING TO DRIVE OFF, STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, OR WHILE WAITING TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE JERKING ERRATIC BEHAVIOR OCCURS ANYTIME THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I'M GOING 5MPH OR 60MPH. IT ALWAYS OCCURS WITHING 3 MILES OF FILLING UP THE VEHICLE. TIME IS NOT THE REMEDY BUT RATHER DISTANCE AS THE VEHICLE MY EXPERIENCE ERRATIC BEHAVIOR MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS ISSUE STARTED 3 YEARS AGO AND CONTINUES TODAY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS GROWING PROBLEM AMONG JEEP VEHICLES TO AVOID FUTURE MAJOR ACCIDENTS OR FATALITIES. CONCERNED JEEP COMPASS OWNER.

PARKING BRAKE DOESN'T WORK AND THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT GOOD IT WOBBLES AROUND TURNS AND I'M AFRAID THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL ONE DAY. THIS UNSTABLE CONDITION WILL HAPPEN ON THE CITY HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING. I PUT ON THE PARKING BRAKE AND IT DOES NOT STOP THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I CAN DRIVE IF I FORGOT I PUT IT ON WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS AND I'LL HEAR THE BEEPING GO OFF AND PUT MY PARKING BRAKE ON. I FEEL AS IF ONE DAY TO SCHOOL MY VEHICLE WILL ROCK UNSTABLE AND CAUSE ME TO WRECK EVEN THOUGH I AM VERY CAREFUL.

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35MPH MY CAR BUCK AND ALMOST STALLED OUT. IT SEEMED LIKE IT LOST A LITTLE POWER AFTER THAT. WHEN I REACHED A STOP SIGN APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, I HAD NO POWER AND COULD NOT BREAK 10MPH. MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT IS NOW FLASHING AND THE ESP/TCS LIGHT IS ON STEADY. THE ONLY ERROR CODE I AM GETTING IS FOR THE #1 O2 SEOR BECAUSE I DAMAGED IT TAKING IT OUT TO ELIMINATE A CLOGGED CADTILAC CONVERTER. AT TIMES IT TAKES 3 SECONDS FOR MY CAR TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO START (MEANING NOTHING IS HAPPENING). IT HAS A ROUGHER IDLE THEN IT USED TO HAVE. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 JEEP COMPASS 11 MONTHS AGO FROM LITHE CHEVROLET/DODGE/JEEP. IT HAD 64,000 MILES ON IT. IN THE 11 MONTHS THAT I HAVE HAD THE CAR THE RACK AND PINION AND STEERING PUMP HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE. AT MY EXPENSE. THE BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. MY STRUTS AND BRAND NEW TIRES ARE DESTROYED. THE WHOLE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO SEPARATE FROM THE FRAME. I STARTED HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITHIN 1 WEEK OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY AND WOULD BLOW IT OFF AS ME BEING "SILLY". THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON 3 TIMES AND RATHER THAN FIXING THE CAR THEY JUST "RESET" THE ENGINE LIGHT. *TR
