FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR WILL STALL AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK, AND THERE IS A LOSS TO ALL THE DRIVING COMPONENTS. NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, NO POWER. VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY SAY IT IS SOMETHING IN THE GAS TANK, AND THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE IT IS TO REPLACE IT IS TO BUY A NEW GAS TANK. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE RECALL THIS IS NOT SAFE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR HAS HARD TIME STARTING AFTER SHORT TIME OF BEING SHUT OFF. COMPANY KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM, IT HAS INSTRUCTIONS IN OWNERS M ANUAL ON HOW TO RESTART CAR. SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE A LONG TIME. THIS CAN PUT A LOT OF UNNECESSARY STRESS ON THE BATTERY. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL & BE FIXED BY COMPANY. PLEASE NOTE: I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
EVERY TIME I REFUEL THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND STALLS. NO MATTER WHAT GRADE OF FUEL. IT WILL SPUTTER AND STALL FOR UP TO 20 MILES AFTER I FILL IT UP. IT HAS EVEN STALLED WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS WHEN THAT HAPPENS. IT'S NOT SAFE. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN REPLACING STUFF HOPING TO FIND A FIX BUT NO LUCK SO FAR. IT WILL STALL STATIONARY, MOVING, TURNING, OR BRAKING. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE SOMETHING RELATED TO THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE. AT LEAST THAT'S THE ONLY REASONABLE THING I HAVE READ OR BEEN TOLD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UPON EACH COMPLETE FILL-UP WITH GASOLINE, SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING OFF FROM FUELING, THE VEHICLE WILL BUCK SEVERELY, AND SHUT OFF. WHEN IT SHUTS OFF AND ROLLS TO A STOP, STEERING CONTROL AND POWER BRAKING IS LOST, AND YOU ARE AT THE MERCY OF ALL TRAFFIC AROUND YOU! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE AROUND 2012. FROM COUNTLESS HOURS OF INVESTIGATION FROM OTHER OWNERS ON FORUMS, DISCUSSIONS WITH DEALERSHIP PERSONNEL, AS WELL AS MY OWN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC'S ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL ANALYSIS, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG PATRIOT & COMPASS OWNERS OF MULTIPLE PRODUCTION YEARS. THE ONLY WORK AROUND IS TO NOT FILL UP THE (ALREADY TINY) FUEL TANK COMPLETELY. THE MOST LIKELY ROOT CAUSE IS A MALFUNCTIONING FUEL TANK ROLL-OVER VALVE, WHICH ALLOWS RAW FUEL TO ENTER THE EVAP SYSTEM, AND UPON THE ECM ISSUING A "PURGE COMMAND," THE VEHICLE STALLS. COMPOUNDING THE SITUATION IS THAT THE ROLL-OVER VALVE IS NOT REPLACEABLE SEPARATELY FROM THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY. WITH THE VEHICLE BEING LONG OUT OF WARRANTY, THE COST OF A COMPLETE NEW FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY PLUS LABOR, IS PROHIBITIVE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO STAND BEHIND. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WHEN LEAVING GAS STATIONS, PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND NEARLY BEING REAR-ENDED WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. I IMAGINE IF NHTSA DOES NOT HOLD CHRYSLER ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OF THESE NON-CONFORMING VEHICLES, WHICH BY NOW ARE MOSTLY OUT OF WARRANTY, THE ONLY WAY TO GET CHRYSLER TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, WOULD BE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE STALLING ISSUE, AND THEN SUE THEM, ASSUMING I LIVED! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. DEALERSHIPS AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER RELATIONS HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY NO HELP AT ALL. YOU ARE OUR ONLY HOPE.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
AFTER FILLING UP AT GAS STATION AND GETTING ON HIGHWAY ENGINE SHUTS OFF AFTER THE JEEP BUCKED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN ENGINE SHUT OFF STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. HAD TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL URN KEY TO TURN ON ENGINE. ADDITIONALLY AFTER THAT,JEEP CONTINUALLY DIES IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING FILL UP AT GAS STATION. IT CURRENTLY DIES APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE THE ENGINE WILL STAY RUNNING. THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS EVENT. IF IT SHUTS OFF AND I DO NOT WAIT AT THE GAS STATION WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND I COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION THAT JEEP / CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX. WAS THERE A CRASH ... ALMOST!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK ALL THE WAY THE CAR WILL GO ABOUT 25 FEET AND START TO STALL AND SHUTOFF LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. IF I DONT FILL IT UP ALL THE WAY THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS SEEN HERE. HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T29898_DS631498

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRANSMISSION AND AXLE SHAFT AREA MAKES A WHINING NOISE AS IF GEARS ARE FAILING. THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSINGTHIS SO I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PRONLEM ACTUALLY STARTED! I HAVE ALSO NOTICED ON NEWER JEEP PATRIOTS THE YEAR 2015 THE REAR PASSENGER SIDES ABS/WHEEL SPEED SENSOR GOES OUT AS WELL AS WHEEL BEARING FAILURE WHICH STARTED AT 30,000 MILES. PLEASE FIX THESE PROBLEMS IT SEEMS LIKE THSES WHERE NOT MADE WELL FOR THE 44 FEATURE AS YOU DISPLAY IT TO BE CAPABLE OF. PLEASE FIX THESE PROBLEMS! THANK YOU! MY 2007 MAKES POPPING NOISES DURING RIGHT TURNS THE WHOLE UNDERCARRIAGE HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL CAUSES IT TO BUCK AND STALL. WAITING 5-10 MINUTES AFTER IT STALLS AND THE VEHICLE RUNS NORMALLY. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE, PUTTING IN FUEL TO LESS THAN FULL DOES NOT CAUSE THE PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC, THE PROBLEM MAY THE ROLL OVER VALVE ALLOWING FUEL INTO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER/EMISSIONS SYSTEM. MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET CONFIRMS THE PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2007 JEEP PATRIOTS AND OTHER MODEL YEARS AS WELL. NHTSA DEFECT INVESTIGATION #DP17002

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP PATRIOT 4X4. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND FROM THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND SAW A PIECE OF THE REAR CROSS MEMBER FRAME THAT WAS FRACTURED AND DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CROSS MEMBER FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED CUMBERLAND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM AT 931-263-0321 (LOCATED AT 1550 INTERSTATE DR, COOKEVILLE, TN 38501) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL, AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 160,000.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2007 JEEP PATRIOT LIMITED 4X4 CVT. EVERY TIME THE GAS TANK IS FILLED UP, THE CAR STALLS, BUCKS, AND/OR HESITATES. AFTER FILL UP, ABOUT A MILE OR LESS DRIVING OUT OF THE GAS STATION THE CAR WILL BUCK AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETELY STALL LOSING POWER STEERING. THIS JEEP HAD 122,000 MILES ON IT, BUT THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED FOR EVERY FILL UP SINCE AROUND 95,000. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS OR IN THE MIDDLE OF A LANE. THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IS MENTIONED ON HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF ONLINE FORUMS. I'VE HAD THE PCV VALVE, CHARCOL CANISTER, GAS CAP AND 5 OR MORE EVAP/EMISSION PARTS REPLACED WITH GENUINE MOPAR PARTS AND NONE OF THESE REPLACEMENTS FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY DIFFERENT GAS STATION, DIFFERENT BRANDS AND DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AS WELL. THE JEEP STALLING AFTER FILL UP IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND PUTS ME AT RISK OF HARM EVERY TIME I LEFT A GAS STATION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEMS. MY SON FILLS UP HIS 2007 JEEP PATRIOT. I SEE FROM MANY POST ON FORMS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. WHY IS CHRYSLER NOT FACEING THIS PROBLEM. YOU FILL THE JEEP UP AND THE THE CAR STALLS OUT AND WILL STOP DEAD IN TRAFFIC THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. WHAT'S BEING DONE ABOUT THIS WHY IS THE GOVERNMENT NOT HOLD CHRYSLER RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. WE HAVE TRIED TO DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND NOW ARE BEING TOLD THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING UP TANK. STARTED DOING THIS 3 FILL UPS AGO. DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. GAS TANK IS NOT "TOPPED OFF". STALLING OCCURS FOR THE NEXT FEW MILES OR 10 MINUTES OF USE. CAR IS FINE AFTER THAT. STALLING OCCURS WHEN RPM IS UNDER 1000 AND DOES THIS WHEN STOPPED OR SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN. ADDED "HEET" TO TANK, THINKING WATER MAY HAVE GOTTEN IN THERE FROM THE GAS STATION. RULED THAT OUT AFTER USING A DIFFERENT GAS STATION. CAR HAS 130,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE IT HAD 30,000 MILES ON IT.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, STEERING
EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP THE TANK, IT RUNS A VERY SHORT DISTANCE FROM THE GAS STATION AND STARTS TO BUCK AND JOLT LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. WHEN THE CAR STALLS OUT, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND THE BRAKES LOSE POWER. VERY DANGEROUS!

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER A YEAR EVEN AFTER TRYING SEVERAL DIFFERENT EXPENSIVE CORRECTIVE REPAIRS.AFTER REFUELING MY JEEP PATRIOT, IT STALLS BUCKS AND JERKS. I START IT UP, AND UPON PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND PULL AWAY FROM PUMPS OR OUT INTO TRAFFIC IT BEGINS TO SPUTTER BUCK AND STALL. IT IS VERY DANGEROUSE ESECIALLY WHEN PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION INTO TRAFFIC WHICH HAS CAUSED SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS OF MY BEING HIT BECAUSE IT HAS STALLED IN INTERSECTIONS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I RELACED THE O2 SENSOR AND IT DID NOT CORRECT THE SITUATION. I USED HIGHER OCTANE FUEL AND IT DID NOT CORRECT THE SITUATION. I USED FUEL TREATMENT PURCHASED FROM DEALERSHIP UPON THEIR ADVISEMENT AFTER REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER AND HAVING THE FUEL SYSTEM SERVICED AND IT DID NOT CORRECT THE SITUATION.

ENGINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS THE ENGINE STALLS SHORTLY AFTER AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING. VERY UNSAFE! I'VE TRIED TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE A DEFECT IN THE GAS TANK. NOTHING THAT I HAVE REPLACED HAS RESOLVED THIS REOCCURRING ISSUE.
