Other Fuel System Tank Mounting Problems of Jeep Patriot

This has happened twice now in 3 days. After fully filling my fuel tank and then driving away from the pump my Jeep Patriot stalls before I hit 3/10 of a mile from the gas station. Contrary to some other reports of this issue, that I have read, as well as the explanation of the issue posted on the NHTSA website, from fca, this does not happen only at idle. Rather it happens while I am driving. When my Jeep stalls I also lose the ability to fully steer (can only turn the wheel appx 1/4 turn) and braking does not work as well as it normally does. When it happened today I ended up mounting a curb and sidewalk in a residential area. The street I was on was turning but I couldn't turn with it. If I had not engaged the emergency/parking brake I would have driven through a chain link fence and into a home. Once I restarted my Jeep and backed off of the curb the engine stalled again while my Jeep was in motion. Luckily I was barely moving and already had my hand on the emergency/parking brake. When I restarted my Jeep the next time I revved the engine to 3,000rpm for appx 1 minute while my Jeep was in park. My Jeep did not stall after that for the rest of today. Tomorrow may be another story. I see in this form there is the ability to upload photos but I did not know about this being an existing safety issue or the ability to report it before now. As a result there are no photos of my Jeep on a curb about to crash into someone's house. With the number of reports of this issue having already been made to the NHTSA I am shocked that a mandatory safety recall was not demanded.

During a road trip, I went to gas up my Jeep and the pump would not allow me to put gas in the car. I was 5 months pregnant stranded with no gas. I later when to several other gas stations same issue. I took it to a shop and they told me that I needed to replace the curler neck which was $180, when they installed it, the issue was not resolved. I took it to another shop and they could not fix the issue as well. I finally took it to a dealership and they mentioned it could be the fuel tank which was $1200 or the evap system which is $900 but they weren't entirely sure what the issue was either. I am currently using a gas can but the problem is getting worse because now it will only allow me to put small amount of gas even when the tank is empty.

I can only pump small amounts of gas into my tank before the pump kicks off and I have to start again. Also, when the tank is around 1/8 or less full, the Jeep runs very rough at any speed. When over 1/4 tank of gas, the Jeep runs well.

When filling gas tank, pump turns off after every 1/4 gallon of gas, due to faulty integral gas tank vent valve. Occasionally resulting from over fill and spilling gas onto ground. This is a common problem with this model of Jeep that no amount of maintenance could prevent. Jeep's response to my complaint was to remind me my vehicle was out of warranty, but should I have it repaired [$600 to $1000 for new gas tank and condenser] to save the receipt in case there is a future recall for this problem.

When I go to put fuel in tank, the gas pump keeps shutting off every few seconds. It takes forever to put any amount of fuel in tank. This problem started a few months back.

Everytime wife fills the fuel tank, the engine shuts off. 80% of the time it happens in the intersection leaving the fuel station. She has almost been in numerous accidents because of this problem. She looses power steering as the pump is no longer running because the engine has shut down. Jeep dealer says this is a common safety problem, and that the fuel tank is the culprit. The overflow valve on the fuel tank is faulty. There are numerous complaints with other owners with the same safety issue. This need to be a recall before someone gets killed.

This has been occurring for the last three years or so. Everytime I fill up the gas tank, with in a couple of blocks of driving away from the gas station the Jeep stops and I loose power steering. I own a 2008 Jeep Patriot and I purchased in 2007. I do not look forward to filliing up the tank, because I know what happens and it does.

Unable to fill the gas tank without the nozzle clicking off. If small amounts of fuel are poured into the gas tank it will eventually fill. Had the car gone through and the only solution is to replace the whole tank because the valve is a integral part of the tank. Car has 35000 miles.

Shortly after filling up the gas tank on 3 separate occasions, I could drive my car about 1/4 mile and the whole engine shuts off. This only happens when the tank is completely full. The car shudders and stalls repeatedly right after fill up. Once a small amount of gas is used the car seems to run fine but the stalling happens at idle. At a red light, stop sign, or when speeds are reduced to turn. It is very dangerous to know your car can shut off randomly, had to drive on highway and main roads with hazard lights on for fear of not knowing when it would stall again. Mechanics looked at all wiring and parts under hood of car and could not find anything. The only thing in common with the 3 stalls was that I had just filled the gas tank up completely. It seems Chrysler has knowledge of this with other cars, minivans etc. Many Jeep owners have complained about this exact issue on a Jeep forum. Options seem to don't fill up completely, or replace the gas tank, which is costly.

I was driving on the I-65 south to alabama, when I started to loose speed I really freaked out, and I pressed the gas pedal a little bit more but I kept loosin speed, I managed to move to the right shoulder and the good thing is that my bother-law was behind my vehicle so he realize that something was wrong with my car and that prevent me to be hit in the rear by another vehicle. I got off the car and I tried to start the car again, and the starter was working fine, then I did remember about the complaints on these carsthat if you have a 1/4 of a tank of fuel the engine would shut down, and I had a 1/4 of a tank one of my brothers went to get the gas, while I was calling Chrysler to let them know what happened with this car and the Chrysler guy was very helpful and offer me to sent me a tow truck, then I mentioned about the recall on these vehicles, I told him that I would try to put gas and if it worked there was no need to sent a tow truck, beside it was a family vacation and the least thing that I wanted was to spend it in a shop repair. My brother came back and the car starter right away. My family vacation was for 10 day and I was using another car from relatives in alabama, I made the appointment with my local dealership in chicago I told what happened and the said my car wasn't affected by the Chrysler's recall campaign n17 NHTSA campaign number:13v120000. But thy said they would take a look at the car, I brough it for service and they paid for a car rental but the technician couldn't duplicate the problem, they had it for three days and nothing, instead of replacing a transfer tube in the fuel tank but it's not in its recall list and Chrysler would not paid for that repair, so they wouldn't do it. Even though I paid for extra protection for 60,000 or 84 months. So I guess they will replace this little tube until people start to die in car accidents.
