ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, POWER TRAIN
Filled gasoline up and had car idle while driving. Had to place car in park, turn ignition off and back on to get it to turn back on. This happened two times and happens everytime I fill up gas in car. Other Patriots have reported same issue and I have been very close to accidents due to this.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE JEEP COMMONLY CHOKES AND DIES RIGHT AFTER A FILL-UP. AFTER 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE, THE PROBLEM DISAPPEARS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS. ONLINE DATA SEARCH APPEARS TO INDICATE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. HAVING YOUR CAR DIE IN TRAFFIC CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE CAR, ONCE A WEEK, I AM BARELY OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND BAM! CAR SHUTS OFF. OR AS I AM DRIVING IT STALLS, SOMETIMES IT GOES AND SOMETIMES IT JUST SHUTS OFF. I'VE CARS ALMOST REAR END ME BECAUSE IT SO SUDDEN. SOMETIMES I JUST TURN ON THE CAR AFTER GAS JUST TO WAIT FOR IT TO SHUT DOWN SO I DON'T KILL MYSELF IN TRAFFIC. TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC PAID 800 BUCKS AND IT STILL HAPPENS. THEY REPLACED THE FULL INJECTOR AND SOME OTHER STUFF THAT I DON'T KNOW. THEY PULLED THE GAS TANK OUT TO DO WHATEVER IT WAS. THE ENTIRE CAR SMELLED LIKE GAS FOR WEEKS. WHY CAN'T SOMETHING BE DONE. LOOKS LIKE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. EVERY ONES COMPLAINTS MATCHES MINE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE HAS HAD STALLING ISSUES FOLLOWING REFUELING FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW. ASIDE FROM AFTER REFUELING THE STALLING IS UNPREDICTABLE AS FOR TIMING. SOMETIMES IT STALLS IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING AND STARTING THE ENGINE, OTHER TIMES IT WILL STALL AFTER I'M ALREADY IN TRAFFIC SEVERAL MINUTES LATER. THIS CREATES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS TWICE NOW IT STALLS RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP THE GAS TANK. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND I'VE BEEN STALLED IN AN INTERSECTION THAT IS NOT SAFE. I JUST PURCHASED THIS USED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND WAS NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM OR I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT. IT'S A FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO. THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS AN EXPENSIVE JOB. SHOULD BE RECALLED SO PEOPLE CAN GET IT FIXED BY DEALER AT THE DEALER COST. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR IT IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. WHY WASN'T THIS RECALLED YEARS AGO.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I GAS UP BELOW A QUARTER OF A TANK MY JEEP STALLS OUT AND STEERING LOCKS UP COMPLETELY IN THE SPAN OF A SECOND SO I HAVE NO TIME TO MOVE OVER. IF I GAS UP AT AROUND A QUARTER OR ABOVE IT LURCHES REALLY BAD SEVERAL TIMES FOR NEXT FEW MINUTES THEN RUNS FINE UNTIL GASSING UP AGAIN THEN REPEAT. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE FIFTEEN MINUTES AWAY TO GAS UP AND DRIVE THE BACK ROADS TO LET IT RUN IT'S COURSE SO IF I STALL I WON'T GET KILLED. IT IT SUPPOSEDLY THE VALVE ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK RESULTING IN THE WHOLE THING NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS ALMOST GOTTEN ME KILLED AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS WHO I'VE SEEN DISCUSSING THE ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND GET THIS RECALLED!

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW IN 3 DAYS. AFTER FULLY FILLING MY FUEL TANK AND THEN DRIVING AWAY FROM THE PUMP MY JEEP PATRIOT STALLS BEFORE I HIT 3/10 OF A MILE FROM THE GAS STATION. CONTRARY TO SOME OTHER REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE, THAT I HAVE READ, AS WELL AS THE EXPLANATION OF THE ISSUE POSTED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, FROM FCA, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ONLY AT IDLE. RATHER IT HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING. WHEN MY JEEP STALLS I ALSO LOSE THE ABILITY TO FULLY STEER (CAN ONLY TURN THE WHEEL APPX 1/4 TURN) AND BRAKING DOES NOT WORK AS WELL AS IT NORMALLY DOES. WHEN IT HAPPENED TODAY I ENDED UP MOUNTING A CURB AND SIDEWALK IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE STREET I WAS ON WAS TURNING BUT I COULDN'T TURN WITH IT. IF I HAD NOT ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE I WOULD HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH A CHAIN LINK FENCE AND INTO A HOME. ONCE I RESTARTED MY JEEP AND BACKED OFF OF THE CURB THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN WHILE MY JEEP WAS IN MOTION. LUCKILY I WAS BARELY MOVING AND ALREADY HAD MY HAND ON THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE. WHEN I RESTARTED MY JEEP THE NEXT TIME I REVVED THE ENGINE TO 3,000RPM FOR APPX 1 MINUTE WHILE MY JEEP WAS IN PARK. MY JEEP DID NOT STALL AFTER THAT FOR THE REST OF TODAY. TOMORROW MAY BE ANOTHER STORY. I SEE IN THIS FORM THERE IS THE ABILITY TO UPLOAD PHOTOS BUT I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BEING AN EXISTING SAFETY ISSUE OR THE ABILITY TO REPORT IT BEFORE NOW. AS A RESULT THERE ARE NO PHOTOS OF MY JEEP ON A CURB ABOUT TO CRASH INTO SOMEONE'S HOUSE. WITH THE NUMBER OF REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE HAVING ALREADY BEEN MADE TO THE NHTSA I AM SHOCKED THAT A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL WAS NOT DEMANDED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS THE CAR MAKES IT TO THE FIRST STOP SIGN AND THEN JUST DIES. I START IT UP AND START TO DRIVE IT AND IT DIES AGAIN. I HAVE TO SIT IN ONE SPOT AND KEEP TRYING TO DRIVE HOPING IT WON'T DIE AND I WILL GET HIT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER THE TANK IS FILLED TO FULL, I THEN DRIVE OFF, AND THE NEXT TIME THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE CUTS OUT. THE CAR HAS TO BE PUT INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE IS ABLE TO RESTART, AND THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL - BUT IT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL OUT. AS LONG AS I DON'T FILL THE TANK TO FULL, IT WON'T HAPPEN. HOWEVER THIS HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY HAPPENING ANYTIME I FILL UP THE TANK OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF.
