3 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2017

After filling up the fuel tank the engine will stall while driving in traffic multiple times for several miles. This is a major issue since you lose acceleration, power steering and power brakes. This has caused several near misses while turning onto an interstate. This seems to affect 2007-2009 models mostly. The only fix is to replace the entire fuel tank because of a sensor located on top for around 1200 usb. Please see the numerous complaints below. Https://static. Nhtsa.

4 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 10/02/2017

After filling the gas tank the car bucks and the engine dies, forcing loss of steering control and acceleration in traffic. Also, there are difficulties filling the tank with gas - the pump shuts off constantly, about every 1/3 gallon or so, which means it takes about 15-20 minutes to fill the tank. I took it to a mechanic twice and spent more than $300 in attempts to repair this to no avail. I've owned the car for 10 years, it has just about 50,000 miles on it - I bought it new at the dealer.

5 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Jeep Patriot stalls within about a mile of filling the gas tank, steering wheel locks and is very dangerous. I was stopped at a red light luckily. Problem needs to be recalled ASAP, gas tank needs to be replaced to fix the problem. Happens to a lof of Patriot owners in cars from 2007-2009. Please recall. Please!!!!!!!.

6 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 04/06/2017

Vehicle dies when driving away from gas station every time after filling tank. It does in the middle of the road creating a safety hazard. Dodge had a recall for this but Jeep has not. When I was at mechanics yesterday they had a heep compass that was doing the same thing.

7 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2016

Filling up with gas causes engine to stall. Auto garage says it's the check ball for the fuel tank allowing for overfilling of tank and than fuel getting into the vacuum system which then cause the Jeep to stall within 5 mins. The last time it was in the middle of in intersection with the kids in the car and almost getting hit by a driver not playing attention while my husband pushed the Jeep out of the way till it wanted to start again.

8 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 06/20/2016

Unable to fill the tank without the pump clicking off every 2 - 3 seconds, despite having tried multiple gas stations and pumps. Mechanic advised there is a problem with the evap system and that the fuel tank will need to be replaced (possibly a faulty rollover valve on the tank). Aside from the fact that is takes forever to fill the tank, I have to guess at when my tank is full and risk overfilling since I can't rely on the usual "click" of the pump. Also, if it is a faulty rollover valve, I would consider this a pretty serious safety issue. I hope others experiencing a similar problem also file complaints here and with Chrysler/Jeep so a recall will be issued if needed.

9 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 04/08/2016

On 4/7/2016 my Jeep Patriot completely stalled after filling it with gas. After waiting an hour, the car started up again. I read on the Jeep forums this is a common problem with Jeep's fuel tank, however Chrysler is unwilling to admit it and recall the part. This is a safety issue and not I'm scared to drive my car after getting gas for fear of losing power. I have a one year old son and fear for his life as well as mine. . Please investigate and add me to the list of victims. Thanks.

10 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 04/08/2016

Car engine dies after filling gas tank approximately 1 mile away from gas station every time. My car has died in an intersection when making a turn against oncoming traffic. Car usually dies after idling at a stop light and then upon acceleration it just dies. Car has 70,000 miles and from my research it seems to be a common problem.
