| Description of the problem | I have a 2012 jeep compass 4 x 4 and when attempting to fuel the vehicle the fuel pump nozzle will not stay locked in to pump fuel until full. Took the vehicle to the dealer and was told it was the roll over valve in the fuel tank was stuck and that the fuel tank would have to be replaced. I read about the safety recall nhtsa # m11 and m14 which stated that 2012 jeep compass and patriot produced between 12/17/2011 and 01/02/2012 had damaged roll over valves installed in the tanks and where subject to the recall. The complaint i have is my vehicle which was produced on 4/12/2012 has the exact same problem but was not included in the recall. |
