Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problems of the 2007 Jeep Patriot

After filling up with gas twice now it stalls right after I fill up the gas tank. The steering wheel locks and I've been stalled in an intersection that is not safe. I just purchased this used a few weeks ago and was not aware of the problem or I would not have purchased it. It's a fuel tank rollover valve and should have been recalled years ago. The entire fuel tank needs to be replaced which is an expensive job. Should be recalled so people can get it fixed by dealer at the dealer cost. This is not something that happens with normal wear and tear it is a manufactures defect. Why wasn't this recalled years ago.

When filling gas tank the car stalls and any time when driving . This is very dangerous when pulling out into traffic, this has happened mant times!!!!!!!!!!!!.

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.

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.

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.

Car stalls while driving on city street immediately after filling up the tank with fuel. This has happened over 20 times.

Shortly after filling the gas tank, after beginning to drive, the car stalls (locking the power steering). Very dangerous! this happens consistently after filling the tank, and within a mile of leaving the gas station.

After filling up the gas tank engine will stall.

Shortly after filling the gas tank of my 2007 Jeep Patriot (49xxx miles) I was coming to a 4 way intersection (only my side and the opposite side of the intersection has stop signs). As I was pulling through the intersection my Jeep Patriot stalled and I lost my power steering and brakes. I was almost struck on the passenger side by a vehicle traveling from the right side of the intersection from my orientation of the intersection. I tried to restart the vehicle for about 5 minutes to no avail. It would start and then immediately stall again. After almost being struck 5-6 times and after about 5 minutes of being stuck in the middle of an intersection I managed to start the vehicle up and drive it home by driving about 15 miles per hour on backroads for the remaining 2 miles to my house. After searching the internet to find the problem I found that this is a common issue among many Jeep Patriot/compass owners and nothing has been done to address the issue. Please look into this issue as myself and my passenger (fiancee) could have been seriously injured if not for sheer luck.

After filling up the gas tank the car repeatedly stalls. It is not being over-filled. Not human error. Extremely dangerous. Stalls in traffic - no warning. Just quits. Repeatedly. Numerous trips to the dealer and lots of money spent and it was not repaired. Complained to Chrysler who recommended we take it to another dealer. We did. The entire fuel tank had to be replaced. Mechanics familiar with the problem. Nhtsa site documents 35 reports of the same problem. 16 reports in 2016. Numerous also in the 2008 Jeep. There needs to be an investigation into why no recall recommended.

I'm experiencing what I've found to be a well-documented issue with a vapor-liquid separator valve located in the gas tank of my 2007 Jeep Patriot. After fueling, moments after starting the car and putting it into drive, the car will stall and shut off. It will immediately re-start and run again but is pretty much guaranteed to shut off at every stop (I. E. At an intersection or while exiting the gas station) for the next few minutes. It also leads to hesitations of the engine while driving at full speed. This has happened to me the last four times I've filled my gas tank. On the most recent occasion, the engine stalled while in an intersection, as I started to make a left-hand turn. The engine shut off, the steering wheel locked up, and I had to throw it into park and restart the car while stalled in a lane of oncoming traffic. I'm very fortunate the oncoming vehicle was paying close attention and stopped to allow me to exit the intersection. This issue only occurs after filling the gas tank, when the vapor canister component that the valve is supposed to protect becomes flooded with liquid fuel during the fill. When this component purges its contents, the intake manifold is flooded with liquid fuel, rather than vapor, causing the stall. After driving several miles (presumably when all of the liquid fuel has been purged from the vapor canister), no more problems are seen until the tank is refilled. Some investigation has shown that I'm far from the only person to experience this dangerous defect. The faulty valve is located inside the gas tank, and the issue can only be resolved with a prohibitively-expensive replacement of the entire tank. This is absolutely a documented flaw inherent in several vehicle models in the Chrysler family, and it needs to be addressed before anyone is killed as a result.

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 fuel tank all the way the car will stutter and stall when you first pull away from the station. I was told this is because the vapors canister malfunctions. This isn't bad, except in this state the steering locks. It doesn't just get and to steer like old days without power steering, the steering wheel actually locks as if you are in park.

Vehicle stalls after fueling. On line forum suggest Chrysler knows about the problem, which is very expensive to remedy. The problem is the vapor/liquid separator valve on top of the fuel tank. Also referred to as fuel tank rollover valve. Requires replacement of fuel tank to replace valve which is not sold separately. Vehicle stalls after fueling creating a dangerous situation while in traffic. Usually happens within a minute or two or filling up gas tank.

For several months, the car stalls after refueling and only after refueling. Once fuel is put in (and not "topped off" just regular filling up), the car will start but will stall several times in the first few miles driven. When it stalls, the steering wheel locks and it's very dangerous, especially when this happens on the highway. In looking at Jeep forums, it seems to be a pervasive issue with Jeep and chryslers and it was suggested that it's a problem with the fuel/vapor valve in the fuel tank. There is no current recall on this. I've had a the fuel pump and the fuel canister both replaced. This happens when moving only after refueling. After it stalls and I restart 3-4 times, it runs fine until I refuel again. As for when this happened, it last happened yesterday (1/6/16), but it happens each and every time I refuel.

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.

The vehicle stalls after filling-up the gas tank. The steering wheel will lock when it stalls, and sometimes the check oil light comes on. When you restart the vehicle, it runs fine until the next fill-up, and no light indicators stay on. It will stall if you are stopped or not accelerating. I have felt especially unsafe when it stalled in an intersection where I was waiting to turn left. All stalls have happened on city streets. If I do not stop within a mile or two of the gas station (like when traveling on the highway immediately after fill-up), it will hesitate / jerk very hard without stalling while the vehicle is accelerating. That is the only time it does not stall after filling up. I never top off the gas tank, and I always insure the gas cap is tightened. This is an ongoing problem, and I don't feel safe driving the vehicle for fear of causing an accident if stalling in an intersection.

After filling up the gas tank the vehicle stalls. It's happened in intersections and on the road. It cranks back up but stalls at various times, completely shutting down. After a few occurrences sometimes even happening on the next day or two it stops until I fill the tank up again and the cycle continues. I thought it may be the fuel pump but research on the web shows others with the same issue with the same fuel systems used in Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep. This is extremely dangerous.

After filling up tank to "click" shutoff with no overfilling, Jeep Patriot 2007 stalls and shuts down completely after about 2 minutes or 1 mile back on the roadway. After the first incident, this continued happening after every complete to "click" fill up. Took Jeep to dealerships in plano, TX and richardson, TX for consultation with their service departments. Both service managers informed me that it could be any part in the fuel delivery system malfunctioning that would cause this, and that any repairs would be exploratory and most likely the total would be $1,000 parts and labor. My research on the web points to a faulty valve that is integrated into the fuel tank (not separately replaceable from replacing the fuel tank) that doesn't shut off correctly. This causes the vapor canister to become saturated, which messes up the fuel/air mix beyond the ability of the computer to compensate for, so the Jeep stalls. The stalling out with the loss of power steering makes navigating out of traffic difficult and dangerous to me and other drivers. For now, I guess about when the tank might be full at fill-ups, and manually stop the fill-up. Filling up short of the auto "click" shutoff has so far avoided further stalls. However, doing this is not always easy to monitor. Also, I now worry that the vapor canister and perhaps other fuel system delivery components may be damaged, but don't want to pay for exploratory (guesses) parts and labor repairs; I would like a clear indication from the manufacturer as to the specific part(s) failures that are causing the stalls, and would like for them to recall any parts as a major safety issue.

The gas tanks on these cars are defective. . You have a hard time putting in gas ans then after you do it stalls and putters for about 15 mins after. This is a well known issue -it seems a charcoal filter in these tanks is causing this problem. This is very dangerous-you can stall out in traffic after filling up and get slammed in the back!! Chrysler is well aware of this be refuses to recall. Probably due to cost. . Someone is going to get killed if this issue isn't corrected !many times I have started to stall out after filling up with traffic bearing down on me and my family. . Please help us! thank you!.

The Jeep Patriot after filling up the tank gas idles strangely and turns off. I do not top it off and it doesn't matter which gas station I use. After I remove the gas pump from the tank I hear what sounds like a gallon of water bubbling/emptying. Recently Chrysler issued recalls for this same issue with other years but it there is multiple reports including my vehicle which have the same symptoms. On several occasions I've almost caused an accident after leaving the gas station because the vehicle shut off. After re starting several times the vehicle functions correctly. I've isolated the problem to the gas tank: if I leave the gas cap off for 3 minutes while hearing the gas tank bubble after removing the gas nozzle from the pump the vehicle has no problem and runs normal without shutting off or idling as if its flooding/chocking. The gas tank recall needs to be expanded to previous years.
