Six problems related to other fuel system tank filling/charging have been reported for the 2011 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When filling the fuel tank to normal full level, the vehicle will stall and run at very low ram. This only happens right after filling the tank to full and starting to accelerate at a normal rate. After doing research, this seems to be a very common issue across many Jeep vehicles.
Vehicle stalls and power steering fails after filling gas tank. This happens either immediately, or a few miles away regardless of speed. Vehicle will abruptly and violently buck, then stall minimum of two times.
Every time gas tank is filled the car bucks then stalls and the steering wheel locks. This happens right after filling the tank and pulling out of the gas station. I have read on forums that this has been a problem in Jeeps for years but has yet to be addressed. According to the post the issue has to deal with the vapor/liquid separator valve. Additionally, I have also experienced issues with gas pumps shutting off when attempting to fill the tank. I attempted to take it to the Jeep dealership where I was told I needed a new gas cap. $100 later and still the same issue.
Car shuts off qnd stops without warning everytime after filling tank with fuel. . . Very dangerous on highway. . .
I filled my gas tank up today. As I got about 3 miles from the gas station the car began to sputter and lose its ability to accelerate efficiently through all the gears. The car was running rough for about 15 miles until I pulled into my driveway, and began making a weird sound out of the exhaust, still idling rough when parked. I looked into it online and many Jeep Patriot owners are complaining of similar issues after filling up with gas. They;re saying it's an issue with a "fuel tank rollover valve" or a "vapor liquid separating valve. " either way this issue is dangerous and needs to be addressed with a recall of the vehicles to ensure the safety of their operators in the future.
When filling the gas tank full, the engine stalls and hesitates for about 30 seconds after first starting the engine back up after the filling of the tank. It causes my engine to completely stop working and I have to turn the key off and restart the engine. I have stalled out in traffic causing the chance for an accident. This happens as I turn the car back on and begin driving right after filling the tank full of gas.
