After refueling the vehicle at a gas station, I drive about a 1/4 of a mile and the engine will stall and die. It will immediately restart and when I step on the gas pedal the engine has no power and will stall again. I will start it a third time and then it will run ok until I need to fill-up again. I think this is a safety hazard because I stand a good chance of getting rear ended being stuck in traffic. I have read many articles about people having the same problem. Seems the fix is replacing the gas tank which costs about $1500. Please make the responsible party face this serious safety issue.

Faulty gas tank. Doesn-??t fill and gas shoots out during the fill process.

Car shuts off after fueling. Is a common problem with other Jeep owners found on Google. My mechanic actually found the articles. Apparently it is a Rollover valve issue. Like others have suggested, not to fill the fuel tank full unless you want to pay over $1000 for a new gas tank. I don't want to drive in fear this car is going to keep shutting off. Why hasn't this been fixed when so many others have had the same issue?

After fueling the vehicle completely, the engine stalls multiple times while in motion. This happens for a few miles and re-starts before running normal again. When the engine stalls, the vehicle cannot accelerate and power-steering is not operable. The vehicle's engine has stalled when entering a highway and turning with cross-traffic. I fear myself and passengers will be struck by a moving vehicle with no control of the subject vehicle. A local mechanic stated the entire gas tank needs replaced but cannot confirm it will correct the defect. There is no warning when the engine stalls. This is my second complaint after years of no response. These events are ongoing.

Vehicle engine cuts out without warning after filling the gas tank the last 5 fill-ups. Gas tank is not being overfilled. Usually happens within the first 1/2 mile after leaving the gas station. Happened recently as I was pulling out into traffic from the gas station on a busy street. Fortunately I was able to pull over and restart without incident. Definite safety concern that is well documented on www.jeeppatriot.com

Takes about 15 minutes or more to put gas in my gas tank. On the internet search it's a common problem that a lot of Jeep Patriot's have. From what I have read the cause is a roll over valve which is plastic and located in the tank itself. That the only way to solve the problem is to get a new tank put in. I feel that they should have had a recall on this and should have fixed the problem.on the internet vehicles with the same problem ranging from 2007-2015. This happens every time I try to put gas in my car.

Every time I fill up gas tank car wont start immediately and when I finally get it to start it turns off again when I drive off or at first stop I make. Problem seems to only occur when gas tank is completely full.

12/12/19 tried to get on I-295 all lights on dash came on including malfunction indicator, esp bas, and others all came on when no lights were on before. Lost power to Jeep on 295 could not go any fast then 25 mph and then stalled; almost rear ended. Could restart Jeep, all dash lights still on, no power past 25 mph and made it off an off ramp where stalled again. Towed Jeep to mechanic where they replaced PCM, intake manifold, and O2 censor. Called Jeep because there is a recall to PCM and was told my VIN not included. 12/26/2019 on I-295 going 70mph and Jeep lost all power with no warning lights this time and had no acceleration. Was in the far left lane and had near miss of being rear ended by tractor trailer. Veered Jeep to breakdown lane and towed to mechanic. Second mechanic repaired ground at G104 on right side of engine bay said is reason for several computerised controls. 1/7/2020 put full tank of gas in vehicle and pulled into intersection and Jeep bucked and stalled out. Called mechanic said possible fuel sensor problem. Jeep Patriots have had issues with PCM and fuel problems but am told my 2009 Jeep not a part of this recall. Jeep is still not running properly and will not drive on highway. Very dangerous and very expansive.

When I try to fill the gas tank the fuel will gush back out towards me. The only way that I can get gas into the tank is to gently let it trickle in which takes for ever. I took it to a mechanic and he said this is a very common problem that a vent inside the gas tank is faulty and cannot be repaired. The fix is a new gas tank and about $800 after doing research I found that this is a very common problem with Jeep. Seems to me that having gasoline flush back on you is a very dangerous situation. If you don't know this is going to happen the gasoline gushes out faster than the pump nozzle has a chance to shut it off. If this is so common why hasn't it been addressed" I don't know what kind of proof that I can send you other than a video which I'm willing to do but how do I send it" engine is off not running sitting at a gas pump.

When you fill the car up with gas... it stalls... no power, no brakes, no steering... the dealer fixed numerous things on car and it keeps happening... it also appears hundreds of others have the same issue... see this thread: Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T29898_ds631498 this is happening now for almost 7 months.... over and over. It also stalled on highway and was almost hit by a tracktor trailer. Yesterday at the gas pump it died after filling up the gas tank and rolled back toward the fueel tanks... almost hit them

Jeep stalls and shuts off after fueling.

When my daughter fills this car up with gas, it will stall when she is at stop signs/lights when idling. It has happened while she was trying to make a turn. This is so dangerous. I have seen that this is a known problem with the roll over sensor in the gas tank, and it needs to be a manufacturer recall.

Vehicle dies when driving away from gas station every time after filling tank. It does in the middle of the road creating a safety hazard. Dodge had a recall for this but Jeep has not. When I was at mechanics yesterday they had a heep compass that was doing the same thing.

Severe acceleration jerk. When accelerating between 5 and 60 miles an hour the engine and drive train jerk excessively as if the engine isn't getting fuel. Will not jerk immediately after tank fill up bu will after next time driven until filled up again.

Filling up with gas causes engine to stall. Auto garage says it's the check ball for the fuel tank allowing for overfilling of tank and than fuel getting into the vacuum system which then cause the Jeep to stall within 5 mins. The last time it was in the middle of in intersection with the kids in the car and almost getting hit by a driver not playing attention while my husband pushed the Jeep out of the way till it wanted to start again.

Unable to fill the tank without the pump clicking off every 2 - 3 seconds, despite having tried multiple gas stations and pumps. Mechanic advised there is a problem with the evap system and that the fuel tank will need to be replaced (possibly a faulty rollover valve on the tank). Aside from the fact that is takes forever to fill the tank, I have to guess at when my tank is full and risk overfilling since I can't rely on the usual "click" of the pump. Also, if it is a faulty rollover valve, I would consider this a pretty serious safety issue. I hope others experiencing a similar problem also file complaints here and with Chrysler/Jeep so a recall will be issued if needed.

The engine frequently stalls after refueling, causing a loss of power steering, acceleration or deceleration. This starts after the issue with re-fueling that led to fuel nozzle kicking off at normal re-fueling speed for 4 fill-ups, which doesn't recur any more.

Bought car in Nov with clean carfax - 5months later it seemed to have a fuel injection problem. On way to the dealer, car did not stall, but speed dropped to 30-35 mph on the highway (engine light came on) had to drive in breakdown lane with hazard lights flashing, and on exit ramp shoulder. Trying to pull out into the driving lane on ramp- speed dropped to 5-10mph. - no acceleration.. car was hit by another vehicle just behind the front left wheel - the car was totaled...cause still unknown. Note: Correction by consumer - the speed did not drop... the car would not go over 35 mph.... believes it was also a transmission issue.

On 4/7/2016 my Jeep Patriot completely stalled after filling it with gas. After waiting an hour, the car started up again. I read on the Jeep forums this is a common problem with Jeep's fuel tank, however Chrysler is unwilling to admit it and recall the part. This is a safety issue and not I'm scared to drive my car after getting gas for fear of losing power. I have a one year old son and fear for his life as well as mine.. please investigate and add me to the list of victims. Thanks.
