| Description of the problem | I bought a used 2007 jeep compass 4x4 for my son in april 2015. He is just learning to drive. After filling up the gas tank and pulling out of the gas station the car slowed to an idle, steering wheel locked, and the car stalled. It turned back on but could hardly make a turn onto the street without almost stalling again. Once it started going a few miles up the road it did not stall. This happened every time we filled the tank. We cannot fill the tank. I am very scared to let an almost 16 year old drive a car that is so dangerous and fear he may get killed when the car stalls. He will be driving this car to school every day and with winter approaching quickly i will be praying. He knows not to fill it all the way up but i don't feel this should be the case for anyone. I purchased an extended warranty but this issue is not covered. I also mentioned this issue to several mechanics and they have no idea what is causing this to happen. |
