Jeep Patriot owners have reported 2 problems related to transmission stuck in gear (under the power train category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Everytime right after I fill up my 2008 Jeep Patriot (car is shut off while fueling) the Jeep either bucks me back and forth like it's a manual getting stuck between gears for about 1 minute (it's an automatic) or it stalls and dies (car shuts off). So far when the Jeep dies it has turned back on. . This happens normally under a half mile after the Jeep has been filled up with gas to the fill mark. The car is in motion when this occurs and it usually occurs on city streets seeing as most gas stations are in town, but this has occurred on the highway after filling up with gas at a station located right off of the highway.
