What owners wrote
Jeep compass stalls after refueling in motion on highway, steering locks up when car stalls and makes jeep uncontrollable. Had jeep towed to dealer and they found a bad charcoal canister was "full of fuel" replaced canister drove for one week and refueled managed to go 1 mile and jeep stalled again at about 45 MPH . Got jeep stopped and restarted managed to get the last 1/2 mile home and it stalled again pulling in drive way and almost ran thru the front of my house before stopping.
As I wrote in previous comments, I have spent over $11,000 over this period of time. I have replaced the wheel hubs, tie rod ends, the front suspension and all rods concerning the rear. I have replaced the transmission at 98,000 miles costing me $3200. The transmission could not be repaired, the whole transmission had to be replaced. And yes I have 158,000 miles, but if you compare $11,000 just on repairs to this pile of crap. I have complained before, and nothing happens.
