31 problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2007 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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.
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!.
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. . Read more...
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.
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. .

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.
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.
Vapor/liquid separator valve. Everytime I fill up my gas tank, within a few meters of the gas station my car begins to bucks and stall. Every single time! almost causing multiple accidents. This is an ongoing problem.
Filled up the tank with fuel, when pulling out in traffic the vehicle stalls and then either cuts off or surges causing loss of steering control. This has happened numerous times.
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.
After everytime I fill the fuel tank full of gasoline. After driving car from station, approximately . 25 mile to 1 mile away. The engine will buck/shutter and stall while in motion at approximately 10-25 miles per hour. The engine experiences extreme loss of power with violent bursts of power. These incidents last ten seconds in duration. When attempting to merge on to highway, with heavy traffic, this can cause quite a bit of stress. This only happens after the fuel tank is filled full.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Patriot. While driving various speeds, the vehicle lost power without warning. The vehicle restarted after several attempts. The failure recurred several times. A local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000. The VIN was not available.
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.
Vehicle stalls after refueling. Each time that the vehicle is completely refueled, but not topped off, the vehicle will stall after approximately 30 seconds of driving, regardless of whether or not the vehicle is in motion. On multiple occasions this has happened when turning, causing the vehicle to lose power steering in the middle of an intersection. Research online has shown many other owners having the same issue. I have been told that the issue requires the replacement of the entire fuel tank in order to be resolved.
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.
I have had a problem with the engine bucking and even stalling after a full tank fill up. It usually buckles when I am moving and stalls if I am stationary. I have read numerous threads from others with the same problem. This is a safety concern because my vehicle has stalled in the middle of the road many times. Luckily I have not had an accident, but it's only a matter of time if it continues. It should not matter if this only happens to a hundred people or thousands. Lives are lives and they should be protected! please help us all encountering this problem. The cost is very high to replace a whole tank and many of us can not afford it. Something must be done about this because it is obviously a common problem. Please help us stay safe!.
Each time I fill the tank with gas and drive down the road the Jeep shuts off and loses power instantly. I couldn't get it restarted. Now I'm right in the middle of the road in traffic. No power steering, stopped hard and suddenly. I could not restart the Jeep. Several cars just missed from hitting me. I keep trying to start it meanwhile a truck is heading my way behind me. He slams on his breaks, yet a semi truck takes at least six car length to stop. He swerved to avoid hitting me thank god. Now I only put 3/4 of a tank of gas. It's frustrating to travel long distance due to having to stop for gas more often. The scariest thing is the huge chance of it stalling completely with no power and getting hit by other vehicles behind me. The impact of getting hit could kill people due to the harsh sudden stop. Is there anyway this can be investigated and recall the part causing this? this has happened to me three times. I live in a large city so most of the roads are freeways and highway. Speed limit is 65 to 70 mph.
The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that after refueling and the fuel tank in full, there was an fuel odor emitting from the vehicle. The contac also mentioned that the vehicle stalled when the fuel tank was nearly full or in full. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank and the fuel gage sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.
When gas tank is filled up, the engine will stall or "surge" for the first few miles. After that the vehicle runs normal. I have researched the issue and have found that this is related to the charcoal canister located in the fuel tank. This has become an issue for a large number of Jeep Patriot owners and it is extremely expensive to have fixed by a dealer.
Every time after I fill the gas tank, I start the engine, it runs fine for 1-2 min. Then begins to buck and jolt like it wants to shut off. I¿ve even had the engine completely shut off while on the highway. I'm very concerned that a serious accident could occur due to the unexpected loss of power rendering my steering and brakes inoperable. This behavior of the engine shut off does not occur again until the next time I fill up my gas tank. I¿ve found information that this problem is due to a faulty vapor/liquid separator valve located at the top of the fuel tank.
When the tank is filled, the engine stalls soon after leaving the gas station. The vehicle buck and stalls, and quits completely. Very dangerous when it is in traffic or during a turn as steering and brakes non-functional. Have replaced charcoal canister but now mechanic informs me the whole gas tank assembly needs replacement. Work-around for now is to not fill the tank up all the way.
I bought this vehicle in January 2016 for our daughter to take to college out of town. I checked for recalls before I bought and found none. The vehicle was purchased from a chevy dealer. After our purchase, I filled the tank with fuel. When I pulled away from the gas station and into traffic the vehicle stalls and cuts off in the middle of two lanes of traffic. I restarted it and went about a block and the vehicle stalls out going about twenty miles per hour while I was in traffic. I made it back home and called the dealer I purchased the vehicle from and they stated they did not know anything about it. I called a local Jeep dearlership and asked a service manager and he said he has not heard of this problem. Imagine how you would feel if your child was driving a vehicle with this issue! my daughter did call yesterday, 1/24/2016 and stated she must have put too much fuel in the Jeep because it stalled out in traffic after she pulled out of the gas station. My issue with this is that it seems to be a known documented issue and has been addressed multiple times on this site. The culprit seems to be a fuel/vapor canister valve in the fuel tank and causes the vehicle to stall if filled all the way up. There has been no recalls from Jeep but you guys have documented cases. I bought the Jeep used with no warranty offered so I am stuck with this. My question is why has there not been a recall issued from your department? I do not think it is responsible for Jeep to ignore this issue nor your department ignore it also. There are a lot of complaints on the same issue with no action. I will appreciate you taking action to have Jeep resolve this immediately.
After refueling vehicle to full tank capacity, the vehicle stalls and steering wheel locks in an intersection within a few blocks from the gas station. For 2 years, this vehicle has been stalling after every gas refueling. It has now started to lock the steering wheel concurrent with the stalling. My wife, who was driving the vehicle at the time of the 8/18/15 incident felt she was in danger as cars tried to avoid the vehicle as well as almost hitting another vehicle because of the locked steering wheel.
Stalls out, gas tank won't fill up, the cvt transmission has almost killed us more than once. Can't go over 40 without it overheating and whining.
After refueling, the car will stall just after leaving the gas station. This usually occurs when I'm stopped at a light and the car is idling. If I'm not stopped at a light, I'll feel a stuttering or jerking motion about a block away from the gas station. I've just been dealing with it because the car always starts back up again. However, now I'm unable to fill the gas tank without the pump shutting off every half gallon. I believe the fuel inlet check valve may be the culprit.
After leaving a gas station and driving about a half of mile down the road, my car started to stall. I then had to put my car in park and completely turn it off and turn it back on. When I went to turn it back on, it did not start up right away. Then the next red light that I stopped at, which was a half of mile after the first stop, my car stalled again. I then put the car back in park, put my flashers on and restarted the car. Now every time I fill my tank to full the car stalls. It is very scary and when I took it to the mechanic, he said it would cost about $1000 to replace the gas tank. Apparently, there is a valve that prevents the gas from leaking out if the car were to ever rollover. In order to fix this problem, I was told that the whole gas tank would have to be replaced.
A mechanic told me that the overflow valve is probably the problem,. He stated that when filing up with gas, it is not shutting off the nozzle flow in time, and although it isn't spilling gas on the ground it is wetting the canister. He says that throws off the air-gas calculations until the canister dries, 1-4 mins after running. In the meantime, it shutters hard and/or stalls multiple times, even while driving. His recommendation was to live with it and just manually fill up a little under full. This is because the valve can't be replaced w/o replacing the entire tank.
Went and filled up my gas tank (filled it up, did not top it off). When I left the gas station I was sitting at a stop light and my engine turned off (music was still playing, just the engine had turned off) this happened for the next 30 minutes on my way home. The next day it was running fine. If I only fill up my gas tank 1/2 way there is no problem.
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.
My car cuts off / stalls every time I fill my tank up. This is very dangerous to my family as well as other drivers on the road.
