2007 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 Fuel/propulsion System Problems

CAR WILL STALL AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK, AND THERE IS A LOSS TO ALL THE DRIVING COMPONENTS. NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, NO POWER. VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY SAY IT IS SOMETHING IN THE GAS TANK, AND THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE IT IS TO REPLACE IT IS TO BUY A NEW GAS TANK. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE RECALL THIS IS NOT SAFE.

CAR HAS HARD TIME STARTING AFTER SHORT TIME OF BEING SHUT OFF. COMPANY KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM, IT HAS INSTRUCTIONS IN OWNERS M ANUAL ON HOW TO RESTART CAR. SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE A LONG TIME. THIS CAN PUT A LOT OF UNNECESSARY STRESS ON THE BATTERY. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL & BE FIXED BY COMPANY. PLEASE NOTE: I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER.

EVERY TIME I REFUEL THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND STALLS. NO MATTER WHAT GRADE OF FUEL. IT WILL SPUTTER AND STALL FOR UP TO 20 MILES AFTER I FILL IT UP. IT HAS EVEN STALLED WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS WHEN THAT HAPPENS. IT'S NOT SAFE. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN REPLACING STUFF HOPING TO FIND A FIX BUT NO LUCK SO FAR. IT WILL STALL STATIONARY, MOVING, TURNING, OR BRAKING. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE SOMETHING RELATED TO THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE. AT LEAST THAT'S THE ONLY REASONABLE THING I HAVE READ OR BEEN TOLD.

WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK ALL THE WAY THE CAR WILL GO ABOUT 25 FEET AND START TO STALL AND SHUTOFF LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. IF I DONT FILL IT UP ALL THE WAY THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS SEEN HERE. HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T29898_DS631498

2007 JEEP PATRIOT LIMITED 4X4 CVT. EVERY TIME THE GAS TANK IS FILLED UP, THE CAR STALLS, BUCKS, AND/OR HESITATES. AFTER FILL UP, ABOUT A MILE OR LESS DRIVING OUT OF THE GAS STATION THE CAR WILL BUCK AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETELY STALL LOSING POWER STEERING. THIS JEEP HAD 122,000 MILES ON IT, BUT THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED FOR EVERY FILL UP SINCE AROUND 95,000. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS OR IN THE MIDDLE OF A LANE. THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IS MENTIONED ON HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF ONLINE FORUMS. I'VE HAD THE PCV VALVE, CHARCOL CANISTER, GAS CAP AND 5 OR MORE EVAP/EMISSION PARTS REPLACED WITH GENUINE MOPAR PARTS AND NONE OF THESE REPLACEMENTS FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY DIFFERENT GAS STATION, DIFFERENT BRANDS AND DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AS WELL. THE JEEP STALLING AFTER FILL UP IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND PUTS ME AT RISK OF HARM EVERY TIME I LEFT A GAS STATION.

FUEL PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEMS. MY SON FILLS UP HIS 2007 JEEP PATRIOT. I SEE FROM MANY POST ON FORMS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. WHY IS CHRYSLER NOT FACEING THIS PROBLEM. YOU FILL THE JEEP UP AND THE THE CAR STALLS OUT AND WILL STOP DEAD IN TRAFFIC THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. WHAT'S BEING DONE ABOUT THIS WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT NOT HOLD CHRYSLER RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. WE HAVE TRIED TO DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND NOW ARE BEING TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE.

Mileage: 114,000

WHEN I FILL UP THE CAR WITH GAS AFTER LEAVING AND DRIVING FOR 20-30 SECONDS AND STOP AT THE STOP LIGHT OR SIGN THE CAR WILL DIE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP TAKES A COUPLE OF TRIES BEFORE IT WILL START UP AND CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP I CAN'T EVEN MOVE THE CAR TO THE SIDE IF I HAVE TO. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE PAST YEAR.

THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER A YEAR EVEN AFTER TRYING SEVERAL DIFFERENT EXPENSIVE CORRECTIVE REPAIRS.AFTER REFUELING MY JEEP PATRIOT, IT STALLS BUCKS AND JERKS. I START IT UP, AND UPON PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND PULL AWAY FROM PUMPS OR OUT INTO TRAFFIC IT BEGINS TO SPUTTER BUCK AND STALL. IT IS VERY DANGEROUSE ESECIALLY WHEN PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION INTO TRAFFIC WHICH HAS CAUSED SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS OF MY BEING HIT BECAUSE IT HAS STALLED IN INTERSECTIONS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I RELACED THE O2 SENSOR AND IT DID NOT CORRECT THE SITUATION. I USED HIGHER OCTANE FUEL AND IT DID NOT CORRECT THE SITUATION. I USED FUEL TREATMENT PURCHASED FROM DEALERSHIP UPON THEIR ADVISEMENT AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER AND HAVING THE FUEL SYSTEM SERVICED AND IT DID NOT CORRECT THE SITUATION.

Mileage: 100,000

AFTER GETTING GAS I STARTING DRIVING TOWARDS THE EXIT OF THE GAS STATION. I ONLY MADE IT A FEW INCHES WHEN MY CAR STARTED BUCKING AND SHAKING REALLY BAD. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED SO I COULDN'T TURN MY CAR OUT OF THE WAY FROM OTHER DRIVERS. I WAS ALSO IN DRIVE AND MY CAR WAS JUST NOT MOVING. I DECIDED TO PUT IT IN PARK AND LET IT SIT THERE FOR A MOMENT BEFORE I TRY TO TURN IT ON AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE I TURN IT ON AND MOVE MY CAR OFF TO THE SIDE TO GET OUT OF EVERYONE'S WAY. ONCE AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND MY CAR DIDN'T WANT TO STAY ON. MANY MINUTES LATER AFTER SHUTTING IT OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A LITTLE WAYS DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE ONCE AGAIN MY CAR STARTED BUCKING REALLY BAD AND SHAKING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF ON A BUSY ROAD. I DECIDED TO PULL INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AGAIN AND EVERY LIGHT ON MY CAR CAME ON (CHECK ENGINE, OIL, TIRE, ETC...). MY AIR WAS COMING OUT HOT AND MY CAR SMELLED REALLY BAD. I DECIDED TO LET MY CAR SIT THERE FOR AWHILE AND FINALLY AFTER 20 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE WITH NO PROBLEMS. I READ UP ON THIS SITUATION AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH JEEP PATRIOTS. I CAN'T FILL MY TANK UP ALL THE WAY BECAUSE I EXPERIENCE THESE PROBLEMS.

VEHICLE STALLS AND STEERING LOCKS UP. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WHEN I WAS TURNING AND ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT BOTH TIMES SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED! SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mileage: 210,000

VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE. EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, WITHIN A FEW METERS OF THE GAS STATION MY CAR BEGINS TO BUCKS AND STALL. EVERY SINGLE TIME! ALMOST CAUSING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM

Mileage: 65,000

THE CAR REGULARLY STALLS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK UP TO FULL. WHETHER COMING TO A STOP, OR CRUISING, OR LIFTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL WHILE MOVING. OCCASIONALLY, EARLY IN THE MORNING, IT MAY STALL ALSO. IT WILL RESTART IMMEDIATELY AFTER STALLING BUT THE STALLING IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT SPEED, ON THE HIGHWAY, AND/OR IN TRAFFIC.

Mileage: 102,000

MUCH AS WE DISCOVERED WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM THE ISSUE IS THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FUELED UP EVEN IF YOU STOP WHEN THE GAS DISPENSER CLICKS OFF THE CAR INEVITABLY STALLS AND SHUTS OFF JUST A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED AND IN MOTION. THE STALLING CAN OCCUR WHEN YOU GET OUT INTO TRAFFIC, ON HIGHWAY, CITY STREET WHICH CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 20 TIMES, AT LEAST, IN OUR 2007 JEEP PATRIOT SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2017. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE IN THE 2007 JEEP PATRIOTS AND APPARENTLY HAS TO DO WITH THE CHARCOAL CANISTER WHICH IN ORDER TO FIX, THE ENTIRE GAS TANK HAS TO BE REPLACED.

Mileage: 89,000

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK ENGINE WILL STALL

Mileage: 71,252

VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AND STALL AFTER REFUELING. HAPPENS SHORTLY AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN TURNED ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES: SOMETIMES WILL STALL AT THE GAS STATION, SOMETIMES WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT AFTER LEAVING THE STATION, OR SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. ALWAYS AFTER REFUELING.

Mileage: 100,000

AFTER EVERYTIME I FILL THE FUEL TANK FULL OF GASOLINE. AFTER DRIVING CAR FROM STATION, APPROXIMATELY .25 MILE TO 1 MILE AWAY. THE ENGINE WILL BUCK/SHUTTER AND STALL WHILE IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 10-25 MILES PER HOUR. THE ENGINE EXPERIENCES EXTREME LOSS OF POWER WITH VIOLENT BURSTS OF POWER. THESE INCIDENTS LAST TEN SECONDS IN DURATION. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ON TO HIGHWAY, WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC, THIS CAN CAUSE QUITE A BIT OF STRESS. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED FULL.

Mileage: 113,000

I HAVE OWNED MY 2007 JEEP PATRIOT SINCE JUNE 2017. ABOUT 3 MONTHS INTO OWNING IT I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT WILL STALL DIRECTLY AFTER I FILL MY GAS TANK. AFTER I LEAVE THE GAS STATION, I NOTICE THAT THE JEEP STARTS TO RATTLE AND SLOW DOWN, AND WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND I AM UNABLE TO TURN AND ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES SO FAR, AND THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE (12/11/17) IT STALLED 3 TIMES WITHIN 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS THAT WARN ME OF THIS ON THE DASH, MAKING THIS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF I WERE TO BE ON A HIGHWAY OR BUSY INTERSECTION.

Mileage: 84,000

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE BUCKING AND EVEN STALLING AFTER A FULL TANK FILL UP. IT USUALLY BUCKLES WHEN I AM MOVING AND STALLS IF I AM STATIONARY. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS THREADS FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD MANY TIMES. LUCKILY I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME IF IT CONTINUES. IT SHOULD NOT MATTER IF THIS ONLY HAPPENS TO A HUNDRED PEOPLE OR THOUSANDS. LIVES ARE LIVES AND THEY SHOULD BE PROTECTED! PLEASE HELP US ALL ENCOUNTERING THIS PROBLEM. THE COST IS VERY HIGH TO REPLACE A WHOLE TANK AND MANY OF US CAN NOT AFFORD IT. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP US STAY SAFE!

Mileage: 85,000

UNABLE TO FILL THE GAS TANK WITHOUT THE NOZZLE CLICKING OFF. IF SMALL AMOUNTS OF FUEL ARE POURED INTO THE GAS TANK IT WILL EVENTUALLY FILL. HAD THE CAR GONE THROUGH AND THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TANK BECAUSE THE VALVE IS A INTEGRAL PART OF THE TANK. CAR HAS 35000 MILES.

AFTER DOING A FULL REFUEL OF THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE IN MOTION, LOOSING ALL ASSISTED STEERING AND BREAKING. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED ENGINE STALLED IN MID TRAFFIC AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ON THE CITY. SECOND TIME I REACHED THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT STALLED THIS WAS EVEN MORE SCARY. VEHICLE WILL RESTART AFTER PUTTING IN PARK AND STALL AGAIN A COUPLE OF BLOCKS DOWN. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TANK IS FILED TILL GAS STATION PUMP AUTO STOPS. IF I FILL 3/4 THEN NO STALLING OCCURS. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS. SOME CLAIM THAT IT IS RELATED TO LIQUID FUEL GOING INTO THE EVAP CANISTER AND THEN BEING SENT TO THE ENGINE WHEN FIECU EXPECTS FUEL VAPORS. THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE FATAL INJURIES IF ENGINE STALLS ON THE WRONG PLACE.

Mileage: 130,000

STALLS OUT, GAS TANK WON'T FILL UP, THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAS ALMOST KILLED US MORE THAN ONCE. CAN'T GO OVER 40 WITHOUT IT OVERHEATING AND WHINING.

EACH TIME I FILL THE TANK WITH GAS AND DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD THE JEEP SHUTS OFF AND LOSES POWER INSTANTLY. I COULDN'T GET IT RESTARTED. NOW I'M RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. NO POWER STEERING, STOPPED HARD AND SUDDENLY. I COULD NOT RESTART THE JEEP. SEVERAL CARS JUST MISSED FROM HITTING ME. I KEEP TRYING TO START IT MEANWHILE A TRUCK IS HEADING MY WAY BEHIND ME. HE SLAMS ON HIS BREAKS, YET A SEMI TRUCK TAKES AT LEAST SIX CAR LENGTH TO STOP. HE SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING ME THANK GOD. NOW I ONLY PUT 3/4 OF A TANK OF GAS. IT'S FRUSTRATING TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCE DUE TO HAVING TO STOP FOR GAS MORE OFTEN. THE SCARIEST THING IS THE HUGE CHANCE OF IT STALLING COMPLETELY WITH NO POWER AND GETTING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME. THE IMPACT OF GETTING HIT COULD KILL PEOPLE DUE TO THE HARSH SUDDEN STOP. IS THERE ANYWAY THIS CAN BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALL THE PART CAUSING THIS? THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES. I LIVE IN A LARGE CITY SO MOST OF THE ROADS ARE FREEWAYS AND HIGHWAY. SPEED LIMIT IS 65 TO 70 MPH.

WHEN GAS TANK IS FILLED UP, THE ENGINE WILL STALL OR "SURGE" FOR THE FIRST FEW MILES. AFTER THAT THE VEHICLE RUNS NORMAL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS RELATED TO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER LOCATED IN THE FUEL TANK. THIS HAS BECOME AN ISSUE FOR A LARGE NUMBER OF JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS AND IT IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE FIXED BY A DEALER.

Mileage: 88,000

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER REFUELING. WITH NO POWER STEERING THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED THE LAST THREE FILL UPS. THE LAST WAS THE WORST BECAUSE IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO RESTART AND WAS IN TRAFFIC. ENGINE SOUNDED FLOODED. HAD TO LET IT SET A FEW MINUTES BEFORE RETRYING. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

Mileage: 70,000

VEHICLE STALLS SUDDENLY AFTER RE-FUELING. THIS STARTED HAPPENING A FEW WEEKS AGO AND NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS RE-FUELED. IT OCCURS A MILE OR SO AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION WITHOUT WARNING IN TRAFFIC. DEFECTIVE FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM IS REPEATABLE AND DANGEROUS. GET THIS RECALLED.

Mileage: 77,000

AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE WILL SPUTTER AND DIE CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND PROPULSION. THIS CAUSES A GRAVE SAFETY PROBLEM AS IT USUALLY OCCURS WHILE PULLING OUT IN AN INTERSECTION PUTTING THE DRIVER AND ALL PASSENGERS AT RISK. THIS OCCURS FOR THE FIRST FEW MILES AFTER FUELING AND DOES NOT OCCUR AGAIN TILL THE NEXT FILL UP. I AM WILLING TO DEMONSTRATE THIS FOR A NHTSA INSPECTOR IF THE ARE WILLING TO INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY ISSUE AS I SEE SEVERAL OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. JUST SEARCH GOOGLE.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2016 FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO TAKE TO COLLEGE OUT OF TOWN. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS BEFORE I BOUGHT AND FOUND NONE. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM A CHEVY DEALER. AFTER OUR PURCHASE, I FILLED THE TANK WITH FUEL. WHEN I PULLED AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION AND INTO TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE STALLS AND CUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC. I RESTARTED IT AND WENT ABOUT A BLOCK AND THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT GOING ABOUT TWENTY MILES PER HOUR WHILE I WAS IN TRAFFIC. I MADE IT BACK HOME AND CALLED THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY STATED THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CALLED A LOCAL JEEP DEARLERSHIP AND ASKED A SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID HE HAS NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. IMAGINE HOW YOU WOULD FEEL IF YOUR CHILD WAS DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE! MY DAUGHTER DID CALL YESTERDAY, 1/24/2016 AND STATED SHE MUST HAVE PUT TOO MUCH FUEL IN THE JEEP BECAUSE IT STALLED OUT IN TRAFFIC AFTER SHE PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION. MY ISSUE WITH THIS IS THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN DOCUMENTED ISSUE AND HAS BEEN ADDRESSED MULTIPLE TIMES ON THIS SITE. THE CULPRIT SEEMS TO BE A FUEL/VAPOR CANISTER VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL IF FILLED ALL THE WAY UP. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS FROM JEEP BUT YOU GUYS HAVE DOCUMENTED CASES. I BOUGHT THE JEEP USED WITH NO WARRANTY OFFERED SO I AM STUCK WITH THIS. MY QUESTION IS WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT? I DO NOT THINK IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR JEEP TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE NOR YOUR DEPARTMENT IGNORE IT ALSO. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO ACTION. I WILL APPRECIATE YOU TAKING ACTION TO HAVE JEEP RESOLVE THIS IMMEDIATELY.

Mileage: 96,000

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, THE CAR STALLS AFTER REFUELING AND ONLY AFTER REFUELING. ONCE FUEL IS PUT IN (AND NOT "TOPPED OFF" JUST REGULAR FILLING UP), THE CAR WILL START BUT WILL STALL SEVERAL TIMES IN THE FIRST FEW MILES DRIVEN. WHEN IT STALLS, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND IT'S VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. IN LOOKING AT JEEP FORUMS, IT SEEMS TO BE A PERVASIVE ISSUE WITH JEEP AND CHRYSLERS AND IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL/VAPOR VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL ON THIS. I'VE HAD A THE FUEL PUMP AND THE FUEL CANISTER BOTH REPLACED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN MOVING ONLY AFTER REFUELING. AFTER IT STALLS AND I RESTART 3-4 TIMES, IT RUNS FINE UNTIL I REFUEL AGAIN. AS FOR WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT LAST HAPPENED YESTERDAY (1/6/16), BUT IT HAPPENS EACH AND EVERY TIME I REFUEL.

Mileage: 100,000

THE VEHICLE STALLS AFTER FILLING-UP THE GAS TANK. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK WHEN IT STALLS, AND SOMETIMES THE CHECK OIL LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN YOU RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT RUNS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT FILL-UP, AND NO LIGHT INDICATORS STAY ON. IT WILL STALL IF YOU ARE STOPPED OR NOT ACCELERATING. I HAVE FELT ESPECIALLY UNSAFE WHEN IT STALLED IN AN INTERSECTION WHERE I WAS WAITING TO TURN LEFT. ALL STALLS HAVE HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS. IF I DO NOT STOP WITHIN A MILE OR TWO OF THE GAS STATION (LIKE WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILL-UP), IT WILL HESITATE / JERK VERY HARD WITHOUT STALLING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATING. THAT IS THE ONLY TIME IT DOES NOT STALL AFTER FILLING UP. I NEVER TOP OFF THE GAS TANK, AND I ALWAYS INSURE THE GAS CAP IS TIGHTENED. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IF STALLING IN AN INTERSECTION.

Mileage: 120,000

EVERYTHING I FILL UP WITH GAS THE JEEP DIES PULLING AWAY FROM THE PUMP. SOMETIMES YOU CAN GET OUT IN TRAFFIC AND IT WILL DIE WHILE TRAVELING SLOW. YOU HAVE TO STOP RESTART THE ENGINE AND HOLD YOU'RE FOOT ON THE GAS AND BRAKE TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING AT A STOP. COULD BE DANGEROUS IF THE JEEP DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION.

AFTER REFUELING, THE CAR WILL STALL JUST AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I'M STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR IS IDLING. IF I'M NOT STOPPED AT A LIGHT, I'LL FEEL A STUTTERING OR JERKING MOTION ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION. I'VE JUST BEEN DEALING WITH IT BECAUSE THE CAR ALWAYS STARTS BACK UP AGAIN. HOWEVER, NOW I'M UNABLE TO FILL THE GAS TANK WITHOUT THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF EVERY HALF GALLON. I BELIEVE THE FUEL INLET CHECK VALVE MAY BE THE CULPRIT.

Mileage: 70,000

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, MY JEEP PATRIOT CUTS OFF EVERY TIME I GET GAS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. THEY HAVE REPLACED MY FUEL PUMP AND AUXILIARY (I BELIEVE THATS WHAT ITS CALLED) AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IVE ALSO HAD MY THROTTLE BOTTLED CLEANED TWICE. OCCASIONALLY, THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH CODE P0442 BUT GOES OFF AFTER A DAY OR TWO.IT'S BECOMING SUPER FRUSTRATED AND CLEARLY DANGEROUS TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH NO SOLUTION.

Mileage: 75,000

AFTER LEAVING A GAS STATION AND DRIVING ABOUT A HALF OF MILE DOWN THE ROAD, MY CAR STARTED TO STALL. I THEN HAD TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND COMPLETELY TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. WHEN I WENT TO TURN IT BACK ON, IT DID NOT START UP RIGHT AWAY. THEN THE NEXT RED LIGHT THAT I STOPPED AT, WHICH WAS A HALF OF MILE AFTER THE FIRST STOP, MY CAR STALLED AGAIN. I THEN PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK, PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND RESTARTED THE CAR. NOW EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK TO FULL THE CAR STALLS. IT IS VERY SCARY AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC, HE SAID IT WOULD COST ABOUT $1000 TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A VALVE THAT PREVENTS THE GAS FROM LEAKING OUT IF THE CAR WERE TO EVER ROLLOVER. IN ORDER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THAT THE WHOLE GAS TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

Mileage: 67,000

A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE OVERFLOW VALVE IS PROBABLY THE PROBLEM,. HE STATED THAT WHEN FILING UP WITH GAS, IT IS NOT SHUTTING OFF THE NOZZLE FLOW IN TIME, AND ALTHOUGH IT ISN'T SPILLING GAS ON THE GROUND IT IS WETTING THE CANISTER. HE SAYS THAT THROWS OFF THE AIR-GAS CALCULATIONS UNTIL THE CANISTER DRIES, 1-4 MINS AFTER RUNNING. IN THE MEANTIME, IT SHUTTERS HARD AND/OR STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES, EVEN WHILE DRIVING. HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS TO LIVE WITH IT AND JUST MANUALLY FILL UP A LITTLE UNDER FULL. THIS IS BECAUSE THE VALVE CAN'T BE REPLACED W/O REPLACING THE ENTIRE TANK.

Mileage: 98,073

AFTER REFUELING MY 2007 JEEP PATRIOT THE CAR WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ABS LOCK UP. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES IT THEN SPUTTERS AND WILL JUMP WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN FILLED WITH GAS. IT IS GETTING HARDER AN HARDER TO RE START WHEN IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE GAS STATION. *TR

Mileage: 90,000

EVERY TIME AFTER I PUT FUEL IN MY JEEP, IT WILL STALL 2 TO 3 TIMES WHEN IDLING OR GOING UNDER A CERTAIN SPEED. THIS GETS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO TURN AND IT STALLS OUT MID-TURN. THE PROBLEM STARTED SPORADICALLY AT FIRST, BUT NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME THAT I PUT FUEL IN MY JEEP. BEFORE FINDING THIS SITE, I DID A TON OF RESEARCH ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEP. CHRYSLER SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

Mileage: 95,000

WHEN I PUMP GAS MY CAR REJECTS THE GAS WHEN I KNOW IT ISN'T FULL. THE GAS SHUTOFF AT THE STATION WILL KICK AND NOT ALLOW GAS TO PUMP INTO MY CAR. 2ND, AFTER PUMPING GAS MY CAR WILL THROTTLE UP AND DOWN AND THEN SHUT OFF WHENEVER I STOP. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND TURN IT BACK ON AND SHIFT TO DRIVE. 3RD, AFTER TURNING ON MY CAR, I TRY TO SHFIT OUT OF PARK. THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. I REPLACED THE BRAKE SHIFT LIGHT ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND IT WORKED FINE UNTIL TODAY. NOW ONCE AGAIN, I CANNOT GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK. THE OTHER 2 ISSUES HAVE BEEN ONGOING SINCE SEPTEMBER AND I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MANAGER THEM AND STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE. *TR

Mileage: 98,000

THE JEEP PATRIOT AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK GAS IDLES STRANGELY AND TURNS OFF. I DO NOT TOP IT OFF AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I USE. AFTER I REMOVE THE GAS PUMP FROM THE TANK I HEAR WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A GALLON OF WATER BUBBLING/EMPTYING. RECENTLY CHRYSLER ISSUED RECALLS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER YEARS BUT IT THERE IS MULTIPLE REPORTS INCLUDING MY VEHICLE WHICH HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I'VE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. AFTER RE STARTING SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONS CORRECTLY. I'VE ISOLATED THE PROBLEM TO THE GAS TANK: IF I LEAVE THE GAS CAP OFF FOR 3 MINUTES WHILE HEARING THE GAS TANK BUBBLE AFTER REMOVING THE GAS NOZZLE FROM THE PUMP THE VEHICLE HAS NO PROBLEM AND RUNS NORMAL WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF OR IDLING AS IF ITS FLOODING/CHOCKING. THE GAS TANK RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO PREVIOUS YEARS. *TR
