Eight problems related to engine stall have been reported for the 2007 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Engine stalls after fill up of fuel within 5 miles of the gas station causing loss of power steering.
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.
After doing a full refuel of the vehicle the vehicle will stall while in motion, loosing all assisted steering and breaking. The first time this happened engine stalled in mid traffic and I was almost hit by the vehicle behind me on the city. Second time I reached the highway when it stalled this was even more scary. Vehicle will restart after putting in park and stall again a couple of blocks down. This only happens when the tank is filed till gas station pump auto stops. If I fill 3/4 then no stalling occurs. I have read online that this is happening to many Jeep Patriot owners. Some claim that it is related to liquid fuel going into the evap canister and then being sent to the engine when fiecu expects fuel vapors. This issue can cause fatal injuries if engine stalls on the wrong place.
After filling fuel tank engine misses and stalls !.
After filling gas tank with fuel, after 30ish seconds the engine will stall and sometimes recover, sometimes quit. This happens regardless of whether I am stopped at a light/sign or driving. I have read numerous reports of others having this same issue. Seems that the charcoal canister is filling with gas. Please help make this a known issue for other drivers! this has happened over the last 3 or 4 months with my vehicle.
After filling the gas tank the engine will stall. It happens with engine idleing or after enterring traffic. Very very very very. . . . . . . Dangerous, Jeep needs to fix this issue. Tons of Jeep owners are having this problem. Jeep don't wait until your product has kill a bunch of people including me and my family.
I bought my 2007 Jeep Patriot brand new and it has been nothing but problems ever since. Today is the final straw and something needs to be done to Chrysler. Everytime I press the brakes to stop, my engine stalls out. This problems frequency seems to have increased since it is raining. My Patriot has stalled previously throughout the years but they were isolated incidences or so I thought. After reading Jeep forums online, I see this is a recurring problem which Jeep is not addressing. This is a major safety hazard as I live in a highly congested area. Stalling on the expressway or in the middle of an intersection can lead to accidents and I am concerned about my safety. This isn't the only problem I have had with this car. Appearantly its not uncommon to have to replace both lower control arms containing the ball joints at 30k miles. I have had to replace all four tires due to irregular wear and tear from defective parts. Even after an alignment, at high speeds the car vibrates harshly. The transmission struggles when accelerating. I perform regular maintenance on my car and should not be experiencing these issues. The dealerships won't do anything about these problems because they have not been addressed by daimler Chrysler. This is unacceptable for any manufactured car. I cannot believe Jeep gets away with all these safety hazards and nothing is being done about it.
