ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2008 JEEP PATRIOT STALLS SHORTLY AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK. BOUGHT IT USED, AND ON THE FIRST FILL UP, GOT ABOUT .5 MILES BEFORE ENGINE STALLED. ON MY SECOND FILL UP, ON DECEMBER 29, 2017, IT STALLED AGAIN AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK AND DRIVING IN MODERATE TRAFFIC. AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY .5 MILES. THIS WAS MORE SERIOUS AS IT WAS IN TRAFFIC AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS WAS MORE A CONCERN FOR ME AS MY FAMILY WAS IN THE VEHICLE AS WELL.

SUSPENSION
OUR JEEP PATRIOT THIS PAST YEAR HAD BEEN STALLING AFTER GETTING GAS. THIS HAPPENS NOW AFTER EVERY TIME WE GET GAS. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH 1/4, 1/2, OR FULL TANK. WHAT MAKES THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, IS THAT IS STALLS AT ANY TIME, PARKED OR DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AS A WARNING, MY DAUGHTER PUT GAS IN APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO AND AFTER AN HOUR DRIVING, IT STALLED ON A BUSY STREET TRAVELING AT 55 MPH, WHICH INTERRUPTED THE STEERING AS IT DECELERATED ON A HIGHWAY. AFTER TOWING TO A LOCAL FIRESTONE AUTO CENTER WE WERE INFORMED THAT THERE WERE TOO MANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES FIRING OFF TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEN MY HUSBAND GASSED UP THE PATRIOT AND IT STALLED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION JUST PULLING OUT OF THE STATION. HE MANAGED TO DRIVE ON BACK ROADS AVOIDING TRAFFIC WHERE IT HAD REPEATEDLY STALLED. HE THEN RAN THE PATRIOT FOR AN HOUR IN MY DRIVEWAY WHERE IT STALLED ANOTHER 10 TIMES IN AN HOUR. HE CONTINUED TO RUN THE PATRIOT ANOTHER HOUR TILL THE STALLING STOPPED. I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING GAS AGAIN, HOWEVER I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCEDURE TO PREVENT A FAMILY MEMBER FROM GETTING INVOLVED IN A FATAL ACCIDENT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAD A 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP. WHILE PUMPING, THE GAS PUMP KEPT SHUTTING OFF. I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE GAS PUMP SO I WENT TO ANOTHER PUMP AND THE SAME THING CONTINUED TO HAPPENED (I ONLY GOT A FEW GALLONS). LATER THAT DAY, I WENT TO THE GAS STATION AGAIN AND THE SAME THING WAS HAPPENING, THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF. I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY FILL THE TANK AFTER REPEATED SHUT OFFS, PUMPING AND SHUTS OFF AGAIN. IN 2014, I HAD THE REPAIR DONE (RECALL FOR THE FUEL TANK TRANSFER TUBE) HOWEVER THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I AM EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH MY GAS TANK. I DID SOME RESEARCHING AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE GAS TANK VENT SYSTEM IS NOT VENTING QUICK ENOUGH CAUSING THE GAS IS BACKING UP. I WILL BE CALLING MY DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS. MY REAL QUESTION IS WAS THE RECALL REPAIR "FAULTY"?

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE OWNED MY 2007 JEEP PATRIOT SINCE JUNE 2017. ABOUT 3 MONTHS INTO OWNING IT I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT WILL STALL DIRECTLY AFTER I FILL MY GAS TANK. AFTER I LEAVE THE GAS STATION, I NOTICE THAT THE JEEP STARTS TO RATTLE AND SLOW DOWN, AND WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND I AM UNABLE TO TURN AND ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES SO FAR, AND THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE (12/11/17) IT STALLED 3 TIMES WITHIN 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS THAT WARN ME OF THIS ON THE DASH, MAKING THIS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF I WERE TO BE ON A HIGHWAY OR BUSY INTERSECTION.
