| Description of the problem | When i fill up the gas tank on my 2007 jeep compass it stalls several times over the next few miles. I've read the blogs on the web and it appears to be a failure of the fuel tank rollover vavle. The only fix apparently is to replace the gas tank at a cost of approximately $1,2000. I just bought this car for my 16 year old daughter and it has stopped on her in traffic twice after filling up the tank. Luckily she escaped being hit by an oncoming car. This is so wrong! This is a defect and a recall needs to be established to fix this issue. |
