FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SEVERAL MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE SINCE YOU LOSE ACCELERATION, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WHILE TURNING ONTO AN INTERSTATE. THIS SEEMS TO AFFECT 2007-2009 MODELS MOSTLY. THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK BECAUSE OF A SENSOR LOCATED ON TOP FOR AROUND 1200 USB. PLEASE SEE THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BELOW.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I WANT RO KNOW WHY THE CRANK SENSOR ISNT A RECALL. MINE WENT OUT THIS MORNING AND LUCKILY I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOT ON THE HWY. IT'S DANGEROUS AND MY CAR JUST CUT OFF ON ME. I READ THIS MORNING AND THERE IS QUITE OF FEW PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THERE COULD BE PARENTS OUT THERE WITH A CAR FULL OF KIDS AND IT COULD BE EXTREMELY HOT OR COLD OUTSIDE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ITEM FOR SAFETY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
EVERY TIME I FILLUP MY JEEP I GET WITHIN 1 MILE OF GAS STATION IT BEGINS TO STALL. THIS HAPPENED EVERYTIME I FILL UP FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS. THE JEEP WILL JUST SHUTOFF AND THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING BEING THAT IT STALLED. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH MANY TIMES AND TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. DOING SOME RESEARCH LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO THEM AND BEING VERY COSTLY TO FIX. THE ITEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED IS THE (FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE) JEEP DOESN'T MAKE A REPLACEMENT PART FOR THIS AND THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. BELOW IS A WEBSITE ABOUT THE PROBLEM HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T29898_DS631498 HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F11/GAS-FILL-PUMP-PUMP-SHUTTING-OFF-WHILE-FILLING-1447396/

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE JEEP SLOWED DOWN AND STALLED. NO WARNINGS OR INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON AT THAT TIME. SHUT JEEP DOWN AND RESTARTED WAITING A FEW SECONDS BEFORE ACCELERATING. AT THE TIME OF ACCELERATING JEEP STUTTERED A BIT AND THEN DROVE FROM 5 MPH TO 20 MPH WITHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT FROM GAS PETAL. IMMEDIATELY APPLIED THE BREAK AND CAR STALLED AGAIN. AGAIN RESTARTED THE CAR TO MOVE OFF OF HIGHWAY AND THE THROTTLE INDICATOR LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. NO INDICATIONS BEFORE STALLS HAPPENED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. HAD TO HAVE THE FULL BODY THROTTLE AND FUEL INJECTOR REPLACED FOR 1500.00/2 DAY REPAIR. 2010 JEEP HAS 86,000 MILES ON IT. VERY CONCERNED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING, LIGHT, OR CHANGE IN DRIVING BEFORE STALLING WITH KIDS IN THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY ACCIDENT HAD I NOT BEEN DRIVING AT 7 AM WITH NO TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD.

SAFTY RECALL N01 / NHTSA 13V-233 AND S61 / NHTSA 16V-668 I TOOK MY 2010 JEEP PATRIOT IN FOR THE ABOVE FACTORY RECALLS ON 11/21/2017 TO YOUNG CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF IONIA IN IONIA, MI AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THIS RECALL. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE BUT NOT OFFERED A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL THE REPAIRS ARE MADE.

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.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL- I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL FLASHING ON WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY FOR A FEW WEEKS, AND NOW IT WON'T GO AWAY. IT CAUSES ME TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO SHIFT MY VEHICLE HIGHER THAN 3RD GEAR, AND I CAN'T ACCELERATE AT AN APPROPRIATE SPEED. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN I START MY VEHICLE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AND IT CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER FOR ACCELERATION, PUTTING MY SON AND I IN A POTENTIAL SITUATION FOR A HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT.
