The contact owns a 2012 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that the fuel tank valve would close while the vehicle was being refueled. Beaver county Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram (2761 constitution blvd, beaver falls, PA 15010) was made aware of the failure and diagnosed that the fuel tank rollover valve was defective and needed a fuel tank replacement. The vehicle was also taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that there was a recall related to the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 12v142000 (fuel system, gasoline). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure mileage was 199073 also another time my 2012 Jeep Patriot while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled the throttle control warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer or an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The contact related the failure tonhtsa campaign number: 13v120000 . Car stalls at every stop. While driving high way speeds for a few minutes it drops down in speed causing you close call accidents because it is very sudden. If I drive the Jeep and come to a complete stop regardless if at stop sign red light or behind traffic the car will turn off having me to turn the key in off position and put it in park to start it again. If I am on the highway driving I can be going 45 mph and all of sudden the Jeep starts declining in its acceleration and will not go above 10mph. Also when initially starting up if I have to back up it turns off while in the middle of backing up. This issue is been known to happen to a few people who I know that own the same exact Jeep or the 2012 model. Also have had it checked out and only thing that pops up is a code for the gas cap which I have replaced and still pops the code for it.

My Jeep Patriot will stall out on me unexpectedly while driving. I have had thousands of work done on it just for it to continue to happen. No shop has been able to figure out what is wrong due to no code showing up. It has been overheating on me and has been causing me to throw away a lot of money. I am very upset about this and the fact that there is nothing happening and all of these complaints is ridiculous!!.

I was driving down the highway at 65 mph and my car jerked then stalled out. I almost lost control. I had to coast across 3 lanes of traffic and it stopped on the feeder road.
While driving in motion on a highway, since then and going forward it throws same lights on cluster each 1/4 mile!!! my vehicle throws a few warning lights on the instrument cluster(e. T. C. Aka electronic throttle control, traction control, and check engine. ) the vehicle starts to sputter and completely comes to a stall. I pull over as safe as I can and turn engine off then back on only to see no lights except check engine. Tried to drive home remaining short distance only to get same lights thrown on instrument cluster then sputters and stalls out.

The vehicle stalled while driving. Lost steering capabilities and had a hard time pulling over. Had to turn key completely off and wait a couple minutes and it turned back on. I was on a busy city street.
Vehicle stalled with no warning signs while I was driving and went into limp mode, took it to a Jeep dealer to check it out. They say the Jeep needs a whole new transmission. Will not drive at all but has power. Only has 112,000. Codes: p0777 - pressure control solenoid b - stuck on, p0741 - torque converter clutch solenoid - stuck off, p0730 incorrect great ratio.
Vehicle is stalling without warning at low or high speeds, with loss of brake assist and steering assist. Multiple visits to dealer have not solved the problem as dealer claims he can not duplicate. In several of the stalling incidents, a critically hazardous condition was created. Stall has occurred both in straight line travel and in turns at intersections.
When driving the engine seems to sputter, stall, jerk, rev the rpm at random when driving. It happens on the highway going 70 or in a neighborhood going 25 while driving or starting to go from a stop. It will jerk really hard like it is going to stall out but no lights come on the dash to indicate something is wrong and I have taken it into the dealership many times and they tell me it is normal, I've never had any vehicle behave this way except when I was 15 learning how to drive a manual transmission and that wasn't the fault of the vehicle. It also will while in park randomly rev the rpms when nothing is being used in the vehicle, if I then put it in drive and back to park it usually settles down but not always, sometimes I have to shut it off and back on. The jerking and sputtering while driving has gotten a lot worse in the last few months, over the past few years it would randomly do it but it happens more and more now every time I drive and I am conscerned that one day it will stall out and cause a major accident. I have inquired many times about this to no avail from 3 different dealerships.
Driving down the road my Jeep will just stall and put me in a dangerous situation. No warnings with any dash lights.
The vehicle stalled sitting still. When I cranked the Jeep it would not turn over. As I turned the ignition key it just kept on cranking with out me holding the key.
Same issue as recall s89/16v907000. Stalls randomly and power not delivered to engine properly. Major safety issue for our family.
The car stalls while driving it down the road at more then 20mph and it's very dangerous because it does it with no light or any indication that something is wrong. I believe it's completely electrical but I'm taking it in to the mechanics tomorrow. I was driving down a highway when it stalled on me thankfully I was on the slow lane and was able to pull to the side but not before someone almost rear ending me.
Jeep stutters and stalls out immediately upon filling tank with gas, almost got hit many times pulling out of gas station, this needs to be addressed, it is deadly and many other people on various forums have reported same problem. Nhtsa needs to stop overlooking this issue. It is a common vehicle still on the road today and I have no plans to get rid of the car for at least another 5 years minimum. Recall this issue, it is deadly and dangerous and I will not be a statistic.

The vehicle will continuously stall and buck while idling for about one minute after filling up with fuel. This has occasionally happened on the road while the vehicle is in motion immediately after leaving the gas station. In these cases, the driver is put in a very dangerous situations, as the steering wheel locks-up when the car stalls. The car is never "topped-off" but filled until the first pump click. After about a minute, the problem will resolve and the vehicle will run fine until the next fueling. The exact cause is unknown, but the evap system or fuel tank rollover-valve is suspected as the culprit. This is an extremely dangerous problem that many other Jeep Patriot owners experience and needs to be dealt with.

Vehicle loses power and/or stalls while driving, even at high speeds. Vehicle stalled several times when stopped. I had to let car sit for a few minutes before it would restart. Lost acceleration at low speeds, especially after turning a corner and beginning to accelerate. You press on the gas and nothing happens. This also happened several times on the highway going 60mph. Luckily it kicked back in. There is a recall on the same year Patriot s89 for the crankshaft sensor, which was the exact problem on my Patriot. I informed the dealer of this recall when I took the car in for service. He said it wasn't applicable to my vehicle and wouldn't keep the paperwork I gave him for the recall. The dealer, however, told me it was the abs system and charged me to replace it and then ended up replacing the crankshaft sensor after the problem still happened on the test drive after replacing abs. The Patriot stalled on the highway. If the dealer would have listened to me and done the test drive first, they would have discovered the issue right away. This is a huge safety issue. Luckily I didn't get hit on the highway.

Car stalls at every stop. While driving high way speeds for a few minutes it drops down in speed causing you close call accidents because it is very sudden. If I drive the Jeep and come to a complete stop regardless if at stop sign red light or behind traffic the car will turn off having me to turn the key in off position and put it in park to start it again. If I am on the highway driving I can be going 45 mph and all of sudden the Jeep starts declining in its acceleration and will not go above 10mph. Also when initially starting up if I have to back up it turns off while in the middle of backing up. This issue is been known to happen to a few people who I know that own the same exact Jeep or the 2013 model. Also have had it checked out and only thing that pops up is a code for the gas cap which I have replaced and still pops the code for it.
My daughter has a 2016 Jeep Patriot is just stalling out exactly the way the recall states except because hers was built in November they are saying its not on the recall. . . She will be driving and it just stalls and has happened over and over.
Vehicle constantly stalls while driving. Even happens when I'm driving on interste and speeds of 70 mph. Vehicle eventually starts back up but this is a huge safety issue. Had the codes ran and came back with an issue with the crankshaft positioning sensor.
2015 Jeep Patriot had a problem starting two days prior to the event. It would not turn over while parked. After waiting five minutes, I turned the key again and it started. Then, two days later while driving about 60 mph on the freeway, the vehicle stalled while I was accelerating. For the next 20 seconds it oscillated between accelerating and coasting while I held my foot on the gas pedal. As I coasted towards an upcoming off-ramp, I lost power steering. Once I was off the freeway, I had to coast into a parking lot and had the vehicle towed to a Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram dealership. They ran their "diagnostic tests" and found nothing. They test drove the car for 10 miles and were unable to recreate the issues. They updated the pcm and tcm and ran their computer diagnostic tests again. Nothing was found. I feel incredibly unsafe driving my Jeep Patriot now. I escalated the issue to Chrysler customer care who was unable to do anything to help me until the problems are recreated and documented by a dealership. This is a known problem with Jeeps. 2016 Jeep Patriots were recalled for this very reason. Why is nothing being done about this?.
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.
After filling up my gas tank this morning, my car sputtered and stalled in the middle of an intersection immediately after I left gas station. I was yielding to turn left to enter the northbound lanes of I-69. I have had this issue for quite awhile now and my mechanic hasn't been able to find an issue since it only happens when I fill up the gas tank. I decided this morning to look for other Jeep owners with the same problem and found a forum that dates back to over 3 years ago with people having the same problem. Apparently, their findings have led to the gas tank needing to be replaced in part to a faulty part that sits on/in the gas tank. In the past, I've had to time traffic lights in order to make it through without stalling but obviously that didn't work today. Typically, this is only an issue when I'm driving at slower speeds or in stop/go traffic. Also, the steering wheel locks up and is very hard to turn to get out of the way of traffic. Often times, the Jeep doesn't start right away. You have to rev the engine and then put in drive quickly and take off or it stalls again. In the forum, several people have tried to replace parts for quick fixes without any success. This should obviously be something the car makers should fix without passing the cost along to the owner.

Engine idles rough. Check engine, traction and throttle control waning light came on. Car sputtered and would not go over 30mph. Would almost stall when accelerating from a stop. Took to nearest dealership and was told the throttle body needed to be replaced. Picked up the car to take to my mechanic but the lights never came back on. Have driven roughly 100 miles since. Car still runs rough and has for about a year.

Electronic throttle control light began to go off. Rpms were running higher than normal. After the sensor triggered twice, no problems other than rmps running high. 5 days after the initial warning light, upon stopping at a traffic light and resuming acceleration, check engine came on, then electronic throttle control, then traction control. This continued to happen every time the car had to decelerate or stop and the rpms dropped below 1. At one point, it stalled. I had to pull over, stop the car and restart it. If you were driving on a highway with continuous gas there wasn't a problem. The diagnostic repair is the throttle body housing needs to be replaced.
Vehicle stalls while driving unexpectantly, while driving and leaves no recourse or corrections for the driver to be made. Power to all of the vehicle systems stayed on whilst all the controls of the vehicle were removed from the driver. Eventually restarted. But refuses to start after being stationary again. Was driving down a city street when my car just stalled out on a straightaway. Finally restarting and making it home, and now not starting again.
