“After purchasing my new/used Compass from a dealer in town I went to fill the gas tank up. Not really a problem this time filling the tank but upon stating the vehicle it started to stall shake , spit, and sputter down the road after only about a 1/10 of a mile. During this time of stall the steering became almost impossible to turn while driving towards oncoming traffic . …”

Car is in motion when this happens on city streets. Started in 2017 and continues to today.”
NHTSA complaint #11246070, filed 2019-08, 90,000 miles“I just filled up my car and about 1 mile from my home the car stalled out while making a turn. I was driving at about 15 MPH in the city. I almost crashed the car because the steering wheel locked up and I needed an enormous amount of pressure on the brake pedal to stop my car.”
NHTSA complaint #11192888, filed 2019-04, 117,000 miles“Purchased in 2017, 4 months later put close to $4000.00 in suspension and fuel filler tube due to extreme rusting. Now on april 15, 2019 took it in for oil change and was written on paper but not told to me. I just was going through the papers today because the bbb said they can't handle my problem. Mdh 0826xx is a safety bulletin that extended the coverage for this problem. I still owe on this and the dealer should be held accountable for all of these parts I paid for some already but this I won't pay for. Why isn't randy wise chyrsler responsible? …”
NHTSA complaint #11205724, filed 2019-05, 78,000 miles“Car randomly shuts off while driving. Started with no known cause then it started doing this after fueling the car. Have seen that it is a well known problem with Jeep Compass, and other models like the Compass.”
