FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, IT STALLS AND SPUTTERS FOR 3-60 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS AFTER EVERY REFUEL. DURING MOST FILL UPS I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AFTER THE FILL UP I GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND GET UP TO 60-70MPH, WHEN IT SPUTTERS AT THIS SPEED THE CAR JERKS AND I BRIEFLY LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE BECAUSE GAS WILL NOT PUMP DURING THE SPUTTERING. IF I FILL UP WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY THE JEEP SIMPLY JUST DIES IF THE RPM ARE UNDER 900 OR IF IT'S IDLING. EVERYTHING ON THE JEEP IS STOCK, NO AFTERMARKET PARTS. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO NUMEROUS OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS. I AM UNSURE OF THE PART CAUSING THE ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY, THE CAR STALLS. FROM READING POSTS ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. CAR WAS IN GEAR, ON A BUSY ROADWAY AND STALLED AT THE LIGHT IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE TANK.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2007. IT CURRENTLY HAS ~45,000 MILES ON IT. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR IT BEGAN TO STALL AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. IT MAY RUN FOR A SHORT TIME.....LONG ENOUGH TO PULL OUT FROM THE PUMP AND INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN STALL. IT HAS ALWAYS RESTARTED, BUT ON OCCASION STALLS AGAIN, OR MAY BUCK. FORTUNATELY, THIS HAS NOT RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT SO FAR. FOR SAFETY REASONS, I HAVE BEGUN TO LET IT RUN FOR A BIT AFTER FILLING BEFORE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. I DO NOT TOP OFF THE TANK ONCE THE SENSOR SHUTS THE PUMP OFF. IF I SHUT OFF THE PUMP BEFORE FULL, IT HAS NOT STALLED. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY CLAIMED NOT TO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, BUT I HAD FOUND ONLINE FORUMS WHERE OTHER OWNERS DISCUSSED EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK...AN EXPENSIVE PROPOSITION. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW AND PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN.

TOOK VEHICLE IN POSSIBLE SHOCK REPLACEMENT, TIRE BALANCING AND/OR NEW TIRES. WAS NOTED THAT THE CROSSMEMBER WAS ALMOST RUSTED THROUGH AND WAS IN NEED OF IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT. WHEN CHECKED FOR SERVICE BULLETINS, WAS FOUND THAT THE 2007 PATRIOTS ARE UNDER RECALL FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. CONSIDERING THIS IS A 2008 PATRIOT, BUILT IN 2007, IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, STRUCTURE
I BOUGHT THIS JEEP USED AND THE FIRST TIME IT RAINED, WATER CAME IN FROM THE SUNROOF INTO THE CAR, THERE WAS WATER IN THE DOME LIGHTS, RUNNING OUT OF THE HEADLINER, RUNNING THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. NOW I SEE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL BUT CHRYSLER HAS NOT RECALLED OR DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT IN THE CURRENT MODEL YEAR. I AM AFRAID FO RMY SAFETY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH WATER COMING IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRONICS OR WATER COMING INTO MY FACE, ON MY STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING CAUSING A DISTRACTION. I HOPE THE NHTSA WILL HELP AND FORCE THE MFR TO FIX THIS FOR ALL OF US JEEP OWNERS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH MY CAR TAKING IN GASOLINE FOR THE PAST YEAR, IT WILL LET ME PUMP IN A LITTLE THEN THE PUMP WILL AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF LIKE ITS FULL, BUT I HAVE ONLY PUMPED IN A HALF OF A GALLON. IT WILL DO THIS THE ENTIRE FILL UP, WHICH WILL END UP TAKING ME CLOSE TO 20 MINUTES FOR IT TO GET FULL. NOW RECENTLY OVER THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY CAR STALLING RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK, I WILL PULL UP TO THE STOP LIGHT TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION AND IT WILL STALL. SO I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART IT, SOMETIMES IT HAS DONE IT FOR THE FIRST SEVERAL STOPS, IT WILL STALL AGAIN WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT IS ALSO HAVING HESITATIONS WHILE DRIVING, ALMOST LIKE ITS STUTTERING, I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL MECHANICS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE CAN PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. IM STARTING TO GET CONCERNED THAT ITS GOING TO DAMAGE OTHER PARTS OF MY CAR BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
ROTTING SUBFRAMES, FRONT AND REAR. ENGINE DRAIN DRIPS ONTO FRONT SUBFRAME, KEEPING THE SUBFRAME WET AND CAUSING IT TO RUST OUT. JEEP RECALLED THE 2007 MODEL YEAR TO REPLACE THE SUBFRAMES BUT NOT THE 2008 YEAR, YET THE DESIGN FLAW PERSISTS. ROTTING SUBFRAME CAUSED VEHICLE TO FAIL ANNUAL NH STATE INSPECTION. VEHICLE WAS BUILT AND SOLD IN WHAT CHRYSLER CALLS A "RUST BELT". SO, CHRYSLER CONFIRMS THE PROBLEM BUT ONLY FIXES IT FOR 2007, NOT 2008.
