FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER GETTING GAS I STARTING DRIVING TOWARDS THE EXIT OF THE GAS STATION. I ONLY MADE IT A FEW INCHES WHEN MY CAR STARTED BUCKING AND SHAKING REALLY BAD. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED SO I COULDN'T TURN MY CAR OUT OF THE WAY FROM OTHER DRIVERS. I WAS ALSO IN DRIVE AND MY CAR WAS JUST NOT MOVING. I DECIDED TO PUT IT IN PARK AND LET IT SIT THERE FOR A MOMENT BEFORE I TRY TO TURN IT ON AGAIN. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE I TURN IT ON AND MOVE MY CAR OFF TO THE SIDE TO GET OUT OF EVERYONE'S WAY. ONCE AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND MY CAR DIDN'T WANT TO STAY ON. MANY MINUTES LATER AFTER SHUTTING IT OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A LITTLE WAYS DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE ONCE AGAIN MY CAR STARTED BUCKING REALLY BAD AND SHAKING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF ON A BUSY ROAD. I DECIDED TO PULL INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AGAIN AND EVERY LIGHT ON MY CAR CAME ON (CHECK ENGINE, OIL, TIRE, ETC...). MY AIR WAS COMING OUT HOT AND MY CAR SMELLED REALLY BAD. I DECIDED TO LET MY CAR SIT THERE FOR AWHILE AND FINALLY AFTER 20 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE WITH NO PROBLEMS. I READ UP ON THIS SITUATION AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH JEEP PATRIOTS. I CAN'T FILL MY TANK UP ALL THE WAY BECAUSE I EXPERIENCE THESE PROBLEMS.

MY FRONT AND REAR CROSS MEMBERS ARE CORRODED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM. THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO CALL CHRYSLER, WHICH TOOK FOREVER AND A DAY TO GET BACK TO ME (ABOUT 10 DAYS). FOR THEM TO TELL ME IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THEY FEEL IS NECESSARY TO FIX. IF I WANT I COULD HAVE THE DEALER DO IT, AND PAY OUT OF MY POCKET. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PATRIOTS, AND SOME JEEPS IN GENERAL. THIS IS NOT A FIX I CAN AFFORD, NOT CAN I GET A NEW CAR AT THIS TIME. MECHANICS AT THE DEALER WERE SHOCKED CHRYSLER DID NOT APPROVE THIS, SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP PATRIOT. EVERY SINGLE TIME I PUT GAS IN IT, IT RUNS A VERY SHORT DISTANCE FROM THE GAS STATION AND STARTS TO BUCK AND JOLT LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF I WAN TO GO ON HIGHWAY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME WE FILL THE GAS TANK, WITHIN A COUPLE MILES OR LESS, THE ENGINE BEGINS TO STALL. THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM AND DOES NOT MATTER WHEN/ WHERE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THIS USUALLY HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED, IT WOULD STALL OR HESITATE TO DRIVE. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT WOULD STALL AND RESTART INDEPENDENTLY AFTER THREE MINUTES BEFORE SUDDENLY OPERATING NORMALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR REGULARLY STALLS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK UP TO FULL. WHETHER COMING TO A STOP, OR CRUISING, OR LIFTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL WHILE MOVING. OCCASIONALLY, EARLY IN THE MORNING, IT MAY STALL ALSO. IT WILL RESTART IMMEDIATELY AFTER STALLING BUT THE STALLING IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT SPEED, ON THE HIGHWAY, AND/OR IN TRAFFIC.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER I FILL MY GAS TANK OFF AND DRIVE, THE CAR WILL STALL AND SHUT OFF. AND STEERING LOCKS UP. ALMOST BEEN IN SERVAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE FILED ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. SOME PEOPLE SAY ITS THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE. NOT SURE, BUT REGARDLESS, THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF IT. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY TELL ME IS THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AT MY COST.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MUCH AS WE DISCOVERED WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM THE ISSUE IS THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FUELED UP EVEN IF YOU STOP WHEN THE GAS DISPENSER CLICKS OFF THE CAR INEVITABLY STALLS AND SHUTS OFF JUST A FEW MINUTES AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED AND IN MOTION. THE STALLING CAN OCCUR WHEN YOU GET OUT INTO TRAFFIC, ON HIGHWAY, CITY STREET WHICH CAN BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 20 TIMES, AT LEAST, IN OUR 2007 JEEP PATRIOT SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2017. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE IN THE 2007 JEEP PATRIOTS AND APPARENTLY HAS TO DO WITH THE CHARCOAL CANISTER WHICH IN ORDER TO FIX, THE ENTIRE GAS TANK HAS TO BE REPLACED.

ENGINE
AFTER REFUELING MY CAR, THE ENGINE WILL STUTTER OR STALL AT THE FIRST STOP OR AT LEAVING THE GAS STATION IF THE VEHICLE IS GOING LESS THAN 40 MILES PER HOURS. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MORE THAN 10 OCCASIONS, WITH THE LAST ONE BEGINNING AT THE STOPLIGHT BEFORE TURNING ON TO THE FREEWAY. THIS IS A VERY STRESSFUL SITUATION AS IT COULD EASILY CAUSE A CRASH DUE TO THE ENGINE FAILING UNEXPECTEDLY.
