Everytime I drive it acts as if it-??s not getting sufficient fuel to the engine. Have had multiple things replaced to try and fix the problem but still not helped. Whole Engine sputters when I stop and acts as if it-??s not getting any fuel to accelerate. Has almost caused a few crashes. To my surprise recalls have been made for my vehicle but says they have been repaired. I personally don-??t think they have
The vehicle just went through an inspection with the dealership before being sold to me. The vehicle is stalling when making turns and driving. There are no warning lights, there is a full tank of gas, no warning of it going to happen and it just stalls. The Jeep stalled at an intersection, stalled driving through a parking lot and again today stalled turning from an intersection. It almost caused me to get rear ended in an accident. Luckily they did not but that was scary enough for me to check for recalls and to my surprise there is for my year and type but not my VIN, my vehicle was manufactured April 2012, does not have high miles and should not be having these issues.
My Coils had to be replaced several times. Last week I started to drive my car on a major road, shaking and no power. My car had to be towed once again. My mechanic told me the Jeeps have issues with the Coils. Not sure why this keeps happening but now It's scary to drive my vehicle and not knowing how quick this happens again. Recently my check engine light came on and off, changed the fuel gas cap, and had a code read. My mechanic mentioned that there was a safety recall regarding the manifold ? if so was this ever done and where I would like documents provided.

The catalytic converter is failing on this vehicle. The vehicle had been maintained pre manufacturer specifications. Check engine light came on without warning. Crank shaft and cam shaft sensor both Failed on vehicle and had to be replaced. All bearing had to be replaced. Two of which were fixed before 60,000 miles. Hood rusted completely through. Cross members are rusting through.
When driving the vehicle will hesitate then stall after refueling. Happen after almost every refueling case. Believe it is a stuck rollover valve that is allowing gas to enter vent lines and causing the stall. When accelerating the vehicle suddenly dies and there is a complete loss of all systems. No power steering to help get off the side of the road. Often there are no Check Engine Lights or other warnings. Obviously if your engine suddenly dies when accelerating this can cause major safety concerns. I had this happen 3 times while trying to merge onto an interstate. Thankfully I was in the right lane and able to get off to the shoulder and avoid an accident. Have not had a mechanic verify but it is a very common problem with these vehicles and the manufacturer needs to address this.

I've recently out of the blue developed problems with my car. For some reason it want crank ( 2), air-conditioner making popping noise as well stopped working, and it also jerks shortly after cranking ( like a hiccup. Please let me know something as quickly as possible if my vehicle has any recalls. I would highly appreciate it.
2012 Jeep Compass engine shuts down while driving on city streets and county roadways. Loss of power and steering control. Engine will crank again after waiting for a few minutes. Check engine light comes on prior to shutting down.
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.
When putting fuel in the gas tank, the pump will kick off and fuel will splash out on you. You have to hold the nozzle and just let the fuel trickle in. It does not matter the angle of nozzle or how far in or out it is. It will cui off at any time usually at a half a gallon. You then have to hold it and trickle the gas in which depending on how much fuel you need it can take 45 plus minutes. The back splash will get on your hand and clothes.I have to wear a rubber glove, and have had to take my shoes off and put in plastic bag, as well as go change clothes.this is not safe nor is it normal as a lot of Jeep owners are having same problem.

Gas tank is not filling properly and is gurgling when filled. Known recall already published but for some reason it is not being associated with my VIN.

This is the second time that this Jeep has not let me accelerate in hwy traffic. Over 40 mph and then just dies on me.. the transmission overheat light comes on and I cant drive because it dies shortly after that.. I thinking there is possible an upcoming vehicle recall for transmission.. it is currently at the dealership which the first time nothing was found for the same problem
While driving, cars engine shut off. I would try to start it, sometimes it would start back up again I would drive it and then the engine would shut off and slowly stop moving. Car was diagnosed with the engine code P0335 and P0339 crankshaft position sensor malfunction/intermittent. Within the same week of having it replaced, now I'm having issues filling the tank with gas. Gas pump stops filling every 0.2 gallons and clicks. Tried moving the gas pump in different positions but still won't fill. Gas ends up bubbling and overflows even though the tank is only at a quarter tank. Looks like this is very common with Jeep compasses. It's either the fuel tank transfer tube or need to get the whole gas tank replaced.
The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Compass. While adding fuel to the vehicle, the fuel pump would continue to click off. The vehicle was taken to port jefferson Jeep (rt 347, port jefferson, NY) where it was diagnosed that the fuel transfer line and fuel tank were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 60,000.
Upon doing a total fill up our Jeep, it is now stalling and I end up with no steering. This does it at least 4/5 times each time we fill fuel tank up. Extremely dangerous as unable to steer and entire engine shuts done. This has done this with my family in the car about a minute after getting fuel, if not less, and turning onto a busy street where Jeep stopped running. The vehicle was in motion when this happened, both turning onto busy street and whilst driving on busy street.
