Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging Problems of Jeep Patriot - part 1

After filling up gas tank and driving for about a mile, vehicle stutters and stalls. During this, the brakes are difficult to work and the steering goes out. This has happened after filling gas tank many times, most recently in the middle of a busy street where I was almost rear ended. Afterward, I shut the vehicle off and then restart. It has a slow start, and the problem sometimes happens one or two additional times, but then runs fine until the next time I have to fill up the gas tank. The vehicle has been inspected and no solution was found. There were no warnings before this happened.

Since I bought my keep in July 2020 . . Everytime I've filled my gas tank all the way . . At first my Jeep would do a little jumping on regular stree as I drive towards freeway but after a little bit it would go away . . But as I continue to drive for about 15 min on freeway my Jeep begins to make this whining sound and then my Jeep would accelerate above 5 on its own (scary) then would go back to normal this usually was while going up a hill on freeway . . Whining cont. And accelerating may happen once more while going up the hill . . Then my transmission temp light will come on . I usually pull over to let my car rest because I'm scared to drive it after it had a mind of it's own. This has only happened after I fill my tank to the full . Please fix this I'm afraid it will blow my engine while on freeway ! three times this has happened after a full tank has been applied . So step by step I fill tank to full as I drive on street towards freeway it will jump a little but will go away by time I get on freeway once on freeway car seems fine for about 10 -15 min then I start to hear a whining sound almost as if it's stuck in a gear . . As I'm driving up a hill on freeway the whining gets worse and my rpms don't seem to go above 50 then my my engine will just accelerate on its own all the way passed 5 . . Then return to normal quickly after . . Whining noise cont. As I'm still driving about 10 min later my transmission temp light will come on . That's when I get off freeway and pull over to let my car rest for a little bit . . Once I get back on freeway after 10 min rest everything is back to normal no mor whining and temp light is gone . . This is an issue after filling up my tank to the full!.

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.

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.

After filling the vehicle with a 'fill up', upon starting and driving, the vehicle began to start 'bucking' and lose power to accelerate. I looked this up and see many people with this same problem that either do not fill their tanks all the way anymore or corrected it by replacing their tank since they say this is a flaw in the design when fuel gets pulled into a canister or container that is supposed to push out vapor build up only, but pulls fuel back in and chokes out. Don't know if I am correct on this language since only going by what other people post. Please have Jeep look into this safety hazard and recall if necessary so I do not have to spend hundreds of dollars to replace a tank. Thank you.

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.

My Jeep 2008 Patriot stalls when I am driving, right after I fill the fuel tank. I didn't know what was causing the problem at first and have almost been rear ended several times! I took it to a couple of garages who couldn't find any problems. The computer doesn't show any related codes. Now I have to stop filling my tank to the top or else it will stall 5 or 6 times for the first 10 miles or so. It's a hard, sudden stall, and I lose all power steering, breaks and control of the car. It's very dangerous! I have seen multiple articles with many people having the same problem, and am surprised it hasn't been recalled considering how dangerous this is.

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 shuts off qnd stops without warning everytime after filling tank with fuel. . . Very dangerous on highway. . .

Just bought used Jeep 2 days ago, filled tank up with gas, pulled out onto highway, stalled out and Jeep died, almost hit by on coming vehicle, thankfully she had enough time to stop and give me the finger. Sat there for a few minutes with hazards on, cursing my luck as I've only had this Jeep for 5 hours and had to be in work in 20 min. Prayed and started the Jeep right up and on to work. Coming home same night decided to take on interstate to see how it would do at 65-70 mph and holy moly the steering wheel was vibrating like one of the massage chairs in the mall. Come to find out on forums that Jeep owners are aware of the gas issue (dealer doesn't know or neglected to tell us) as we are first time Jeep owners. The vibrating steering wheel --- well that seems to be a known issue too, but our VIN doesn't seem to be on the recall list even though I live in PA and fall into the covered years. I am bringing car back to dealership I purchased from to have them correct the issues. We have a 30day 1000 mile warranty. Lets see how much of a fuss I have to make over this. Filling gas tank and stalling out on highway I'd say that is a safety issue. Vibrating steering wheel could fall under the x69 extended warranty---will know more on Monday.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that while filling the fuel tank at the fuel station, the fuel pump clicked off without enough fuel into the vehicle.

After filling up with gas car stumbles and dies at stops for about five minutes minutes afterwards. This procedure goes on for about ten miles all I read says it is a safety valve on top off gas tank. Only way to fix is relace the whole gas tank. This happens when vehicle is in motion or just setting idleling. Rpm starts to decreace and smothers plum out. I purchased this vehicle used it has done this ever since ive owned it.

Consitently after filling my gas tank, when driving within a quarter mile, the vehicle will hesitate and buck as if it were about to stall. This only happens initially and doesn't happen again until I refuel. However the bucking has becoming more pronounced each time I fill up to the point now that the engine has completely stalled. Thankfully this did not occur while the car was traveling but instead while sitting at a red traffic light. I've read that other people are also experiencing this with their same make/models and it has caused their engines to stall completely while in transit which has caused the steering to lock. This is a safety condition that should be taken seriously before someone gets into a bad accident or worse.

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 stalls after filling up the tank. Has happened several times.

My Jeep stalls after filling tank with gas and I believe it is a faulty valve inside the tank itself which requires replacement of the entire tank and should be a recall--this is a safety issue as it causes the vehicle to stall while driving away from gas station. Saw this alert for 2012 models but it is the same issue https://autoweek. Com/article/car-news/2012-Jeep-compass-and-patriot-be-recalled-fuel-tank-problem#ixzz5sdmm78oj.

After filling my tank the Jeep will randomly shut off. This has occurred more than 10 times in the past year.

After filling up the gas tank the vehicle jerks wildly, several times the vehicle has shut off in the middle of the highway and almost caused a wreck, I am terrified I'll end up causing an accident or possibly killing someone. The issue my mechanic said is in the vapor/fuel separator valve that goes to the charcoal box.

The vehicle regularly stalls, but unexpectantly to those around me in traffic, after filling the tank.

After filling my tank, everytime I leave the gas station the engine sputters and will stall. Luckily I'm able to sometimes get over on to the side of the road before being in an accident. This is very dangerous. During the winter months when it is cold outside, I am only able to put in a few cents at a time. It can take over 20 minutes to slowly fill up the gas tank. Max it will fill is a few cents at a time before you have to release the handle and then press it ever so lightly to fill up the next part. The engine will often sputter as it feels like it is going to quit running as I'm driving down the highway or interstate similar to what happens after you fill up your tank. The va the only time the Jeep is stationary is when I'm filling it up or after it dies after a fuel philip. The vehicle is always in motion either in the city highway city road when it kills after filling up. When it sputters and pills after filling up you are unable to use your wheel as it locks up, very dangerous. My life and my family's life is at risk.

After filling up with gas, my car starts to "buck" and has bad acceleration even while driving 70 down the freeway. It continues this problem until I have only 1/4 tank of gas and even goes beyond that. I'm starting to have problems with the car starting also and it smells badly of gas fumes.

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.

Since February 5th, 2018, my 2010 Patriot has been in the shop 3 times for stalling issues, all seemingly after filling my gas tank. The stalling happens within moments after driving away from the gas pump, and my vehicle needs to be towed each time, costing me every time. Various �fixes� have been made, including new spark plugs, transmission fuel change and most recently, a esim and detector. The latest mechanic at the Jeep dealer that repairs my vehicle said the issue was from gasoline getting into the esim and causing a safety stall. From others I have read from, this issue is very common and needs to be fixed permanently and correct for owners, in prevention of injury or death. Some I have read from mention the rollover valve in the gas tank needs replacement, which would therefor require the entire gas tank to need replacement, a hefty price for something that seems to be the error on chryslers� behalf. I no longer feel safe to go on long trips with my vehicle, which I purchased pre owned just last year. Please take action on this issue as I know many owners are suffering from the same issue that can be dangerous.
