Four problems related to other fuel system pump have been reported for the 2008 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The valve inside the fuel tank broke and the Jeep can no longer be filled with gas without the gas pump believing it is already full and turning off. This results in many, many attempts to put fuel into the vehicle and gas leaking out of the fuel pump down the side of the Jeep and all over the ground. My mechanic was trying to find the issue and in his research found it to be a known problem but a non serviceable piece, meaning the entire fuel tank must be replaced. This is something that should not have failed and created an environmental hazard and a potential fire hazard as well.
Summary: while driving my car will still in the engine dies the car lots of city it doesn't matter where you're going after you put gas in the car he usually doesn't start but now it has started not letting you fill up with gas at stopping the fuel pump like your tank is full and it didn't put any gas in it but it's very dangerous and scary when you're driving down the road and your engine shuts off in the car stalls and locks up. The traction control will come on and it's an able to be turned off after it locks up and stalls and shuts off while you're driving it any speed it doesn't restart it is very scary when you're going down the highway in the engine stalls.

Engine light came on,fuel tank would not allow a steady flow of gasoline from gasoline pump to gas tank, in other words the gas nozzle kept shutting off as thought the tank were full. The car gasoline tank would allow 2/10 of a gallon to go in then shut off. We had to / have to (same problem now occurring) repeatedly do the latter to fill our tank. The first time we paid out $400 with the repair shop replacing one of the two fuel pumps. We understand there is a fuel hose in the tank of this year Patriot that had a recall and we were never told or notified.
