Consumer Description

I owned a 2014 Jeep Compass with 63,xxx miles on it. I bought the vehicle brand new. On (3) occasions so far, the engine stalled out immediately after filling the gas tank. It will restart and sputter for 10-15 seconds and then run just fine. On the latest incident, after leaving a gas station after filling up the gas tank, I went to pull out into heavy, busy traffic, the engine stalled out once again. Placing me in a very dangerous situation! Obviously! My research on Jeep forums and other car maintenance websites shows the problem is very likely caused by a bad/defective Rollover Valve. The rollover valve is located inside the gas tank. Apparently, the valve gets triggered off while refilling the gas tank when near full. Noted that the Check Engine Light did not common on. During my research on Jeep Forums and other related Jeep websites, I've noticed the engine stalling issue on many other Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriots.
