FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
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.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY JEEP PATRIOT IS STALLING AFTER FUELING. IT SEEMS TO LOSE POWER & MAY SPUTTER ALSO BEFORE STALLING. I CAN ALSO SMELL A STRONG FUEL OR CHEMICAL SMELL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT HAS BECOME A DANGEROUS PROBLEM SEEING AS HOW IT OCCURS AFTER FUELING AND I HAVE TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATIONS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LARGE INTERSECTIONS WHERE I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES OR CAUSED AN ACCIDENT FOR OTHER MOTORISTS TRYING TO AVOID MY STALLED VEHICLE. SO FAR, MY JEEP WILL START AFTER STALLING SO I CAN CONTINUE ON MY WAY. IT IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION WHEN IT HAPPENS AND THE FEAR OF AN ACCIDENT IS PROFOUND.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, SUSPENSION
JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY MY WIFE'S 2007 PATRIOT 2.4L STARTED TO FAIL TO START. IT WAS VERIFIED THAT IT WAS NOT THE BATTERY, PCV VALVE, STARTER, OR A FUEL ISSUE. IT WOULD SIMPLY NOT START WHEN LEFT IN THE SUN (IN SUCH AS A PARKING LOT). ALL OF THE ACCESSORIES WORKED. IT WAS TOWED TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS. NO ONE COULD FIGURE IT OUT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND RECEIVED A COMPLAINT NUMBER. CHRYSLER REIMBURSED ME FOR THE THINGS THE DEALERSHIPS CHARGED ME TO REPLACE AND EVENTUALLY SAID THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT AND COULDN'T FIX THE CAR. THE SHOCKS ALSO FAILED PREMATURELY AT 40 THOUSAND MILES, AND THE CV JOINTS ARE SEALED UNITS AND FAILED PREMATURELY. OVERALL I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THIS CAR AND CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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!

SHORTLY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, AFTER BEGINNING TO DRIVE, THE CAR STALLS (LOCKING THE POWER STEERING). VERY DANGEROUS! THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY AFTER FILLING THE TANK, AND WITHIN A MILE OF LEAVING THE GAS STATION.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. THEY SHOWED ME THAT THE REAR SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED. THERE IS A HUGE HOLE FROM THE RUST. MY CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND WELL MAINTAINED SO THIS DID NOT SEEM LOGICAL FROM EVERYDAY WEAR AND TEAR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLS AFTER REFUELING. EACH TIME THAT THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY REFUELED, BUT NOT TOPPED OFF, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS OF DRIVING, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN TURNING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER STEERING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. RESEARCH ONLINE HAS SHOWN MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ISSUE REQUIRES THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK IN ORDER TO BE RESOLVED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
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.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
SHORTLY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK OF MY 2007 JEEP PATRIOT (49XXX MILES) I WAS COMING TO A 4 WAY INTERSECTION (ONLY MY SIDE AND THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION HAS STOP SIGNS). AS I WAS PULLING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION MY JEEP PATRIOT STALLED AND I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I WAS ALMOST STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION FROM MY ORIENTATION OF THE INTERSECTION. I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO NO AVAIL. IT WOULD START AND THEN IMMEDIATELY STALL AGAIN. AFTER ALMOST BEING STRUCK 5-6 TIMES AND AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION I MANAGED TO START THE VEHICLE UP AND DRIVE IT HOME BY DRIVING ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR ON BACKROADS FOR THE REMAINING 2 MILES TO MY HOUSE. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO FIND THE PROBLEM I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AMONG MANY JEEP PATRIOT/COMPASS OWNERS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AS MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER (FIANCEE) COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IF NOT FOR SHEER LUCK.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CHILDREN AND I WERE DRIVING 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY JEEP PATRIOT RANDOMLY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, THE THE VEHICLE GAVE NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE IT JUST STOP, THE CARS BEHIND US STARTED TO STEAM ON THEIR BRAKES RUNNING OFF THE ROAD, WE HAD TO DRIVE OFF THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD TO PREVENT GETTING HIT. IT'S WAS SO TERRIFYING . THE POLICE CAME AND WANTED TO GIVE US A TICKET FOR WRECK LESS OPERPERATION OF A VEHICLE AND THOUGH I WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SOMETHING. I BEGAN TO CRY. IT TOOK 10 MINUTES TO RESTART CAR. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A COUPLE HOURS LATER WITH NO WARNING. WHEN WE GOT BACK FROM OUR TRIP WE TOOK IT TO FORD MARSHALL, NICK MAYER IN MAYFIELD OHIO . IT IS DOCUMENTED THERE NUMEROUS TIMES THAT THIS VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY AT HIGH SPEEDS BUT THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSIS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER COMES ON WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND IT IS NOT SENDING A CODE TO GIVE THEM A DIAGNOSIS , SO IF THEY DON'T HAVE A CODE , THEY CAN'T WARRANTY OUT THE PART TO FIX IT FOR ME TO FIX THE ISSUE. SO THEN THEY SEND ME HOME EVERYTHIME AND PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER AGAIN. TODAY MY CAR STALLED AGAIN RIGHT IN FRONT OF A POLICE CAR. I JUST SAT THERE AND CRIED

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY DAUGHTER'S JEEP HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO THE RUST AND HOLES IN THE JEEP'S CROSSMEMBERS. THE GAVE ME AS REFERENCE X58. SHE NEEDS THEM REPLACED AS THERE ARE LARGE HOLES IN THEM, BUT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HER IF THEY COULDN'T GET IT OFF THEY WOULD HAVE TO CUT OTHER PARTS AND SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE PARTS AND LABOR (APPROXIMATELY $400) WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SAID IS TYPICAL. I'VE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AT JEEP AND THEY SAID SHE WOULD FIRST HAVE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AND THEN IF THERE WAS A CHARGE THEY WOULD "CONSIDER" HELPING. SO SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR FIRST. THIS HARDLY SEEMS RIGHT. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE?
