| Description of the problem | 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. |
