2008 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4 Fuel/propulsion System Problems

I FILLED UP THE JEEP WITH GAS WHILE STATIONARY AND OFF. I TURNED ON THE JEEP AND THE ENGINE TURNED OVER FINE. I STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN WHILE EXITING THE GAS STATION, AND THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE WHEEL LOCKED. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THE ENGINE STALLS FOR SEVERAL DAYS AFTER FILL UP ANYTIME I COME TO A FULL STOP. THANKFULLY, I HAVE YET TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BUT, I NO LONGER FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL REMAIN RELIABLE. THIS MALFUNCTION COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS OR THE INABILITY TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY IN AN EMERGENCY.

JEEP STALLS AND LOCKS WHEN GAS TANK IS FILLED. HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC A FEW TIMES WITH MY BABIES IN THE CAR. VERY DANGEROUS!

Mileage: 55,000

AFTER REFUELING THE CAR TO HAVING A FULL TANK OF GAS, A SHORT DISTANCE LATER - USUALLY LESS THAN ONE MILE - THE CAR SUFFERS A SEVERE HESITATION AND ONCE STALLED COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS IN MOTION AND ON A CITY STREET USUALLY DRIVING STRAIGHT. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, TODAY BEING THE MOST RECENT.

Mileage: 106,000

OUR 2008 JEEP PATRIOT 4 X 4 HAS AT TIMES CUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. WHEN WE WERE GETTING READY TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, WE HAD AN EVEN SCARIER THING HAPPEN. BOTH REAR WHEELS ARE RUBBING WHEEL WELLS WHICH MEANS SOMETHING HAS RUSTED THROUGH IN THE SUB FRAME OR CONTROL ARMS. WE ARE 25 MILES FROM OUR MECHANIC SO NOW VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE TOWED INTO TOWN TO EVEN BE CHECKED OUT. WE NEED TO FIND OUT IF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR RUST AND CORROSION WILL COVER OUR VEHICLE. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 280,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHICH HAS BEEN HEAVILY DRIVEN IN A "SALT BELT" STATE OF MARYLAND FOR WORK DUTIES.

AFTER FILLING UP GAS THE CAR TURNS OFF ENGINE THEN START IT UP AND TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS???!!! PLEASE I AM NOT SAFE DRIVING THIS. I JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP A QEEK AGO. THIS HAPPENED 2X ALREADY.

Mileage: 59,100

AFTER REFUELING MY VEHICLE, SHORTLY THEREAFTER (WITHIN A FEW MINUTES) MY 2008 JEEP PATRIOT STALLS WHEN IDELING OR TRAVELING AT LOWER SPEEDS. MOST RECENTLY THE STALL HAPPENED WHEN MERGING ONTO A MAIN ROAD AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE IN 2008 JEEP PATRIOTS AND NEEDS TO ADDRESSED SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. MOST REMEDIES SEEM TO BE A REP LAMENT OF THE FUEL TANK AND VAPOR CANISTER.

Mileage: 155,175

AFTER FUELING THE JEEP IT STALLS WHEN THE NEXT IDLE OR TWO OCCURS. FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER FUELING, THE JEEP IS DRIVEN AND STALLS AT THE FIRST STOP LIGHT. SOMETIMES IT OCCURS WHEN TRYING TO PULL AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND YOU HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IT IN TRAFFIC. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN FUELING THE TANK TO FULL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM THE GAS STATION. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED UP.

Mileage: 140,000

ENGINE STALLS AFTER FUELING TANK. DURING ACCELERATION OUT OF GAS STATION, CAR JERKS AS IT SEEMS THE AIR/FUEL RATIO IS MESSED UP. CAR STALLS WHEN SITTING AT LIGHT OR WITHIN A COUPLE MILES FROM THE STATION AT IDLE SPEED. I'VE RESORTED TO SHIFTING NEUTRAL AND REVVING ENGINE HIGHER TO COUNTERACT THE STALL. ONE INSTANCE WAS KNOCKING/ATTEMPTING TO STALL SHORTLY AFTER PULLING FROM GAS STATION, THEN OPERATED FINE ON HIGHWAY, BUT WHEN EXITING THE JEEP STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER TO THE SYSTEM (POWER STEERING AND BRAKE BOOSTER). WAITED A MINUTE AT LIGHT, THEN RESTARTED AND RAN FINE. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE LIKELY IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VALVE TO THE VAPOR CANISTER AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE IS LIQUID FUEL GETTING IN. HE HAD A PROMPT ANSWER FOR ME, SO IT SEEMS AS IF HE'S ANSWERED THE QUESTION BEFORE WITH OTHER OWNERS.

Mileage: 68,000

EVERYTIME RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP MY 2008 JEEP PATRIOT (CAR IS SHUT OFF WHILE FUELING) THE JEEP EITHER BUCKS ME BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT'S A MANUAL GETTING STUCK BETWEEN GEARS FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE (IT'S AN AUTOMATIC) OR IT STALLS AND DIES (CAR SHUTS OFF). SO FAR WHEN THE JEEP DIES IT HAS TURNED BACK ON.. THIS HAPPENS NORMALLY UNDER A HALF MILE AFTER THE JEEP HAS BEEN FILLED UP WITH GAS TO THE FILL MARK. THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS OCCURS AND IT USUALLY OCCURS ON CITY STREETS SEEING AS MOST GAS STATIONS ARE IN TOWN, BUT THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS AT A STATION LOCATED RIGHT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY.

Mileage: 125,000

AFTER REFUELING MY PATRIOT, THE CAR WILL SPUTTER, LURCH, AND OCCASIONALLY STALL. THE SYMPTOMS ONLY OCCUR AFTER REFUELING WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MILES AND THEN BECOMES A NONISSUE UNTIL I REFUEL AGAIN. I HADN'T HAD ANY ISSUE OVER THE PAST COUPLE REFUELINGS AND THIS EVENING (3/6/2018) THE PROBLEM RESURFACED AS I ENTERED TRAFFIC AND MY CAR STALLED AND STEERING LOST. I ENDED UP STRADDLING THE CENTER TURN LANE WITH A PORTION OF THE CAR HANGING IN THE LEFT LANE OF BOTH TRAFFIC DIRECTIONS. I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY GET IT RESTARTED AND REPOSITIONED SO IT NO LONGER WAS AN OBSTACLE. AFTER ENTERING TRAFFIC AGAIN, IT STALLED ONE MORE TIME WITHIN A MILE AND THEN OPERATED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON AND OFF OVER 8 MONTHS BUT HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY RESULTED IN HAZARDOUS ROAD CONDITIONS FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. IN REVIEWING FORUMS FOR CHRYSLER/JEEP OWNERS, THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FCA VEHICLES.

Mileage: 122,000

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE FUEL TANK AT A GAS STATION AND THEN DRIVE OFF, THE CAR - AFTER BEING IN MOTION WILL UNEXPECTEDLY STALL. IT'S USUALLY ABOUT 20-30 SECONDS AFTER DRIVING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION THAT THE ENGINE STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT A STOPLIGHT, ENTERING A BUSY HIGHWAY AND ALSO JUST WAITING IN THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT. THIS IS DANGEROUS!

Mileage: 102,000

AFTER REFUELING THE PATRIOT I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 1/4 MILE AND THE VEHICLE BUCKED, SHUDDERED AND SHUT OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED IN PLACE AND SINCE THERE WAS NO VACUUM PRESSURE THE BREAKS WE'RE NOT VERY EFFECTIVE. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER PUTTING IT IN NUETRAL WHILE ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO AN INTERSTATE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED AND UNTIL NOW I DID NOT KNOW THEY INCIDENTS WERE CONNECTED. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED I HAD JUST REFUELED AND WAS PULLING UP AT A STOP LIGHT AND IT TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS STOPPING FOR THE LIGHT.

Mileage: 79,703

2008 JEEP PATRIOT STALLS SHORTLY AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK. BOUGHT IT USED, AND ON THE FIRST FILL UP, GOT ABOUT .5 MILES BEFORE ENGINE STALLED. ON MY SECOND FILL UP, ON DECEMBER 29, 2017, IT STALLED AGAIN AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK AND DRIVING IN MODERATE TRAFFIC. AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY .5 MILES. THIS WAS MORE SERIOUS AS IT WAS IN TRAFFIC AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS WAS MORE A CONCERN FOR ME AS MY FAMILY WAS IN THE VEHICLE AS WELL.

Mileage: 164,000

Mileage: 64,000

GAS PUMP WILL EITHER CUT OFF WAY PREMATURELY OR WILL OVERFLOW. TURNED OUT TO BE A BAD CHECK VALVE.

Mileage: 63,000

AFTER FUELING UP JEEP, AND DRIVE FOR LESS THAN A MILE JEEP SHUTS OFF I HAVE TO STOP AND RESTART THE JEEP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FUEL UP THE JEEP, WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND PAID TO HAVE FUEL INJECTION CLEANED AFTER A TWO DAYS FUELED THE JEEP PROBLEM CONTINUES.

Mileage: 102,050

HAVE HAD MY JEEP FOR 6 YEARS ITS ALWAYS STALLING I TOOK IT TO JEEP CHRYSLER DODGE, FIRESTONE NOBODY CAN FIGURE OUT WHATS WRONG; IT ACTUALLY TURNS ITSELF OFF AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY. THIS IS DANGEROUS THIS CAR NEEDS A RECALL. I HAVE READ THAT 2012 MODELS DO THIS SAME THING BUT THIS ONE DOES IT TOO.ALSO THE SUNROOF LEAKS AS WELL AND THE RAINWATER GOES INTO THE LIGHTS. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND A JEEP TO ANYBODY EVER AGAIN, THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE AND NO ONE CARES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.I HAVE PAID TO GET IT LOOKED AT BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT PROBABLY NEEDS A SYSTEM UPDATE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BUT YET MY CAR TURNS ITSELF OFF ALL THE TIME GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS 65 MILES AN HOUR THE ENGINE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF THE SUNROOF HAS LEAKED AND POURED INSIDE THE JEEP SINCE THE DAY I HAD IT IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE IT NEEDS TO PLEASE BE INVESTIGATED

Mileage: 125,000

FILLING GAS TANK TO TOP (FILL VALVE TURNS OFF AT PUMP) WILL CAUSE JEEP TO SPUTTER AND STALL WHEN DRIVING OUT OF THE GAS STATION. STALLING WILL MOST OFTEN HAPPEN WHEN ACCELERATING OUT OF THE GAS STATION LOT INTO TRAFFIC. CAR WON'T START AGAIN UNTIL TURNING THE KEY COMPLETELY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN STARTING AGAIN. AFTER THAT, CAR WILL OPERATE NORMALLY. IF THE GAS TANK IS NOT FILLED TILL THE GAS AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF, THE JEEP WILL RUN JUST FINE. IF LEFT RUNNING A BIT BEFORE ACCELERATING OUT, THEN SEEMS TO BE FINE. NEED TO BURN OFF SOME GAS FROM THE TOP. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE (5 YEARS AGO, 2012) AND SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THAT WORKED FOR A BIT, BUT IT IS OCCURRING AGAIN. HAVE HAD IT DIAGNOSED WITH DEALERSHIP AS SAME PROBLEM WITH GAS TANK AND A VALVE ON THE TANK.

Mileage: 195,000

EVERYTIME WIFE FILLS THE FUEL TANK, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. 80% OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS IN THE INTERSECTION LEAVING THE FUEL STATION. SHE HAS ALMOST BEEN IN NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. SHE LOOSES POWER STEERING AS THE PUMP IS NO LONGER RUNNING BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAS SHUT DOWN. JEEP DEALER SAYS THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY PROBLEM, AND THAT THE FUEL TANK IS THE CULPRIT. THE OVERFLOW VALVE ON THE FUEL TANK IS FAULTY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THIS NEED TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

Mileage: 100,000

AFTER FILLING UP GAS AT HALF A TANK THE CAR STALLS TRYING TO SHUT OFF AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE SO THERE'S NO POWER TO STEER OR BRAKE SAFELY IN TRAFFIC. AT STOPS, THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF.

Mileage: 56,289

AT ANY GAS PUMP I GO TO I CAN ONLY PUT IN ABOUT A GALLON OR SO BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF OR OVERFLOWS. IT DOES THIS REPEATEDLY UNTIL I HAVE FILLED MY TANK. I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH PATRIOTS IN FORUMS AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO PINPOINT AN ISSUE OTHER THAN REPLACING THE GAS TANK. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE IS WITH A FAULTY VALVE IN THE GAS TANK. I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE AND DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR FEEDBACK. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

SUMMARY: WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WILL STILL IN THE ENGINE DIES THE CAR LOTS OF CITY IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU'RE GOING AFTER YOU PUT GAS IN THE CAR HE USUALLY DOESN'T START BUT NOW IT HAS STARTED NOT LETTING YOU FILL UP WITH GAS AT STOPPING THE FUEL PUMP LIKE YOUR TANK IS FULL AND IT DIDN'T PUT ANY GAS IN IT BUT IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOUR ENGINE SHUTS OFF IN THE CAR STALLS AND LOCKS UP. THE TRACTION CONTROL WILL COME ON AND IT'S AN ABLE TO BE TURNED OFF AFTER IT LOCKS UP AND STALLS AND SHUTS OFF WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING IT ANY SPEED IT DOESN'T RESTART IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN YOU'RE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN THE ENGINE STALLS

Mileage: 125,000

THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS OR SO. EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, WITH IN A COUPLE OF BLOCKS OF DRIVING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION THE JEEP STOPS AND I LOOSE POWER STEERING. I OWN A 2008 JEEP PATRIOT AND I PURCHASED IN 2007. I DO NOT LOOK FORWARD TO FILLIING UP THE TANK, BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AND IT DOES.

ENGINE SPUTTERS AND STALLS AFTER FILLING TANK. THIS OCCURS A FEW MINUTES INTO DRIVING IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TANK IS FILLED. THE CAR SPUTTERS AND STALLS, AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP, WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T29898_DS631498

Mileage: 60,000

AFTER FILLING UP, THE VEHICLE BUCKS AND STALLS. AFTER A FILL UP THIS PAST WEEKEND, THE JEEP STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONGESTED INTERSECTION LEAVING ME MOMENTARILY STRANDED. LUCKILY, AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. VERY SCARY!! THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN LEAVING THE GAS STATION. IT WASN'T UNTIL RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE THAT I DISCOVERED MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

Mileage: 164,000

CANNOT PUMP GAS, PUMP SHUTS OFF AFTER A FEW CENTS OF GAS IS PUMPED. VERY BIG SAFETY HAZARD DURING PUMPING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND REQUIRES THE GAS TANK TO BE REPLACED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ROLLOVER VALVE.

Mileage: 140,000

AFTER FILLING MY 2008 PATRIOT UP WITH FUEL THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP , TODAY MY 2008 JEEP PATRIOT STALLED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. LUCKY I WAS NOT HIT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS

Mileage: 102,300

WHEN PUTTING FUEL IN MY VEHICLE, I AM UNABLE TO PUT MORE THAN 1 GALLON OF GAS IN THE TANK. THE PUMP KEEPS SHUTTING OFF AND GAS STARTS POURING BACK OUT OF THE TANK. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE ONLY TO FIND THERE ARE A LOT OF JEEP OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE TRIED TO REPLACING THE EVAP CANISTER, ONLY TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN SEVERAL WEEKS LATER. THEN THEY END UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. THE FUEL TANK ISSUES ARE ISSUES THAT JEEP SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR GIVEN THE RATE OF OCCURRENCES FOR JEEP OWNERS AND EXPENSIVE FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE IN A JERKING MOTION. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON A SEPARATE OCCASION WHERE THE SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE FAILURE RECURRED ONLY AFTER REFUELING AND WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED ON A SEPARATE OCCASION. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000. .....UPDATED 02/10/16 *BF THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK IN ORDER TO FIX THE ISSUE, UPDATED 02/16/16*JB

Mileage: 103,000

AFTER FUELING VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AWAY THE JEEP WILL STUTTER AND SHUT OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS A FEW MINUTES AFTER FUELING BUT HAS HAPPENED A DAY AFTER.

Mileage: 133,546

STARTING ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO THE CAR WILL NO LONGER TAKE MORE THAN ABOUT 1/4 GALLON OF GAS BEFORE CLICKING OFF. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP AT COSTCO BUT I HAVE SINCE EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE AT SEVERAL OTHER STATIONS. IT TAKES ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO FILL THE TANK FROM EMPTY AND WILL SPIT GAS BACK IF I AM NOT CAREFUL. CHECKED THE EVAP CANISTER AND FILLER NECK. BASED ON RESEARCH IT APPEARS THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK.

Mileage: 95,000

CAR STALLS SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING. GENERALLY I DRIVE FOR ABOUT 60 SECONDS AT WHICH POINT IF I SLOW DOWN TOO MUCH IT STALLS OUT. THIS HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

Mileage: 94,000

MY JEEP PATRIOT STALLS AFTER GETTING GAS. I SAW ONLINE MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT OF GAS TANK VALVE. VERY DANGEROUS AS STEERING WHEEL LOCKS WHEN CAR STALLS. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED?

AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK DROVE OUT OF GAS STATION AND VEHICLE KEPT STALLING AND LOCKED UP. HAD TO PULL TO SIDE OFF OF THE ROAD.

Mileage: 73,940

ABOUT A YEAR AGO MY PATRIOT STARTED HAVING ISSUES AFTER I WOULD REFILL MY GAS TANK TO WHERE THE GAS PUMP TURNS OFF. THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AND SHUT OFF 4 OR 5 TIMES AS I WAS LEAVING THE STATION. I HAVE ALSO HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. IT HAS ALSO SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IDLING WHEN I HAVEN'T FILLED THE TANK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE PURGE VALVE SOLENOID AND ALTERNATOR AT MY COST THINKING THAT WOULD FIX MY PROBLEM BUT NOTHING HAS WORKED. THEY ALSO RECOMMENDED I REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AT MY COST, BUT AFTER ALREADY POURING OVER $1000 INTO THE VEHICLE, I WAS HESITANT TO SPEND $1500 MORE. I HAVE BEEN AVOIDING THE PROBLEM BY ONLY PUTTING ABOUT 10 GALLONS OF FUEL MAXIMUM IN MY TANK. TWO WEEKS AGO THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD BANGING NOISE AND LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON THE DASH AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T GO OVER 20 MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY ABOUT A MILE FROM ANOTHER JEEP DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR WAS BAD. ANOTHER $800 FIX. I TOLD THIS DEALERSHIP OF THE OTHER PROBLEMS I WAS EXPERIENCING WITH THE CAR SHUTTING OFF AND THEY THOUGHT THIS MAY FIX MY PROBLEM. THEN ABOUT 5 DAYS LATER, UPON TRYING TO REFUEL MY VEHICLE, I WAS UNABLE TO PUT MORE THAN 1 GALLON OF GAS IN THE TANK. THE PUMP KEPT SHUTTING OFF AND GAS STARTED POURING BACK OUT OF THE TANK. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE ONLY TO FIND THERE ARE A LOT OF JEEP OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE TRIED TO REPLACING THE EVAP CANISTER, ONLY TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN SEVERAL WEEKS LATER. THEN THEY END UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. THE FUEL TANK ISSUES ARE ISSUES THAT I THINK JEEP SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR GIVEN THE RATE OF OCCURRENCES FOR JEEP OWNERS.

FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SO, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEM POSTED ON THE JEEP PATRIOT FORUMS UNDER THIS LINK (HTTP://WWW.JEEPPATRIOT.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=271689). HAPPENS 95% OF THE TIME WHERE THE ENGINE WILL STALL AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. IT CAN HAPPEN WHILE SITTING STILL OR WHILE DRIVING. IF IT STALLS WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES GO OUT MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE JEEP. THE OBVIOUS CONCERN IS THAT IT COULD LEAD TO A CRASH. I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF JUST "DON'T FILL IT UP ALL THE WAY" - THAT SEEMS LIKE A COP OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AFTER IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME - THEY KEPT IT FOR 2 DAYS, DRIVING IT ALL AROUND AND WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE IT (THIS WAS BEFORE I STUMBLED ACROSS THIS FORUM AND REALIZED IT ONLY HAPPENS AFTER A GAS TANK FILL-UP). I HOPE THAT MY SUBMISSION AND OTHERS' LEAD TO A RECALL.

Mileage: 83,000

THE LAST TWO TIMES I GOT GAS MY PATRIOT STALLED WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT STALLS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. VERY DANGEROUS I SEE ONLINE THAT IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND MANY PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THIS WITH OLDER PATRIOT VEHICLES. PLEASE RECALL THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED

Mileage: 80,000

I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK AS USUAL AND DROVE ABOUT 500 YARDS TO A RED LIGHT. IN THE PAST AFTER A FILL UP, THE JEEP WOULD STALL AND "BUCK" AROUND 30 MPH, AS IF IT COULDN'T GET INTO GEAR, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A CVT. I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT IT DIDN'T THIS TIME, WHICH WAS CURIOUS. AT THE LIGHT, UPON ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE THROTTLE, AND THE CAR REMAINED IN DRIVE, BUT REFUSED TO MOVE. I COULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF GEAR INTO NEUTRAL. A RED LIGHT IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE DASH CAME ON AND BEGAN TO BEEP, AND THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD LIT UP, WITH EVERY LIGHT COMING ON AND MAKING NOISE. EVENTUALLY, I LOST ALL POWER AND WAITED MORE THAN AN HOUR FOR A TOW TRUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A THREE LANE AVENUE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME A RELAY WAS ENTIRELY BLOWN AND BLACKENED, AND THIS HAD KILLED THE BATTERY. THIS WAS REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME, BUT HE SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND WHAT HAD CAUSED THE RELAY TO BLOW. ESSENTIALLY, WHAT OCCURRED WAS A SYMPTOM, NOT THE CAUSE, AND WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY SITTING, DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I ALSO HAD LOWER BALL JOINTS REPLACED AT 55,000 MILES, WHICH IS FAR TOO EARLY. I LOVE JEEP, BUT I HATE THE 2007-2010 PATRIOTS. BAD BUY.

I WENT TO MY LOCAL GAS STATION TO REFUEL MY JEEP. AFTER PUMPING IN 38 CENTS THE PUMP CLICKED. I REMOVED THE NOZZLE AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT CLICKED ONCE MORE. IT TOOK 11 MINUTES TO PUMP MY TANK FULL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO REFUSED TO HELP WITH ANY ASSISTANCE TO FIX MY VEHICLE AND STATED I WOULD FIRST HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC WITH A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, (WHICH IN MY AREA NEVER ANSWERS THE PHONE AND NEVER HAS AN APPOINTMENT TIME OPEN) WANTS 115 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I HAD MY FORD DEALER DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE VENT LINE IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK IS CLOGGED. ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, ACCORDING TO ALLDATA, THIS PART IS NOT SERVICE ABLE WHICH MEANS I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK WHICH IS QUOTED AT 922 FOR THE PART AND BETWEEN 400-600 FOR INSTALLATION. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T SEE HOW REFUELING MY TANK WILL CAUSE THIS ISSUE. I THINK THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER REFUELING. FILL UNTIL CLICK, NO TOPPING OFF. LEAVE THE GAS STATION AND GET ON THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE AND JERK FORWARD, THEN STALL. RESTARTS RIGHT AWAY. ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT TWICE, REAR END, AND T-BONE. I TRIED SEVERAL EXPERIMENTS. FILLING TO 3/4 DOES NOT CAUSE THE ISSUE. TRIED GAS IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, WITH THE SAME RESULTS. AFTER SEVERAL MONTH OF 3/4 REFUEL, I TRIED A FULL REFUEL AGAIN. THERE IS EXCESSIVE GURGLING AFTER A FULL REFUEL COMING FROM THE TANK. STALLED 4 TIMES ON MY 2 MILE DRIVE HOME. VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO TRAFFIC INTERSECTIONS. ALSO STALLS AT TRAFFIC LIGHT AFTER FULL REFUEL. *TR

Mileage: 32,800

MY JEEP PATRIOT, AFTER REFUELING, THE ENGINE CUTS OUT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GET GAS IN MY VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, WHICH CAN BE QUITE DANGEROUS. WHEN IT DOES THIS, THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE TURNED OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN, IT WILL GO A FEW YARDS AND THEN STALL AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THE REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM. I KNOW A FEW OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME THING. MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER TOLD ME TO JUST NOT FILL MY GAS TANK OVER HALFWAY. HOW IS THIS A FIX? I THOUGHT I WAS OUT OF LUCK UNTIL I SAW THIS ARTICLE ( HTTP://WWW.AUTOBLOG.COM/2014/09/10/DODGE-GRAND-CARAVAN-CHRYSLER-TOWN-AND-COUNTRY-STALLING-NHTSA/ ). THIS ARTICLE SEEMS TO MIRROR THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH MY JEEP, WHICH IS MADE BY CHRYSLER, AS WELL. *TR
