NHTSA Complaint #10853403 — 2007 JEEP COMPASS

I PURCHASED THE 2007 JEEP WITH LOW MILEAGE FOR MY CHILD'S FIRST CAR. UPON THE FIRST REFUEL THE CAR HAS EXPERIENCED STALLING WITHIN A HAL MILE OF REFUELING. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, AS WELL AS TO THE NEIGHBORNING JEEP DEALER. TIME AFTER TIME I WAS ADVISED THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. TODAY UPON REFUELING THE CAR STALLED UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION AGAIN. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS AND RESEARCH ONLINE THAT I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN A RECALL HAD NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. THE STALLING OCCURS AT A DIFFERENT TIME LEAVING NO GAS STATION, AT THE FIRST MOMENT OF IDLING, AFTER TRAVELING A SHORT DISTANCE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANY DRIVER ALTHOUGH EXTREMELY SO FOR A NEWLY LICENSED DRIVER.
