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 has hard time starting after short time of being shut off. Company knows of this problem, it has instructions in owners m anual on how to restart car. Sometimes it can take a long time. This can put a lot of unnecessary stress on the battery. I believe this issue should have had a recall & be fixed by company. Please note: I'm not the original owner.

Every time I refuel the vehicle sputters and stalls. No matter what grade of fuel. It will sputter and stall for up to 20 miles after I fill it up. It has even stalled when pulling into traffic and the steering wheel locks when that happens. It's not safe. The jeep dealership has been replacing stuff hoping to find a fix but no luck so far. It will stall stationary, moving, turning, or braking. I believe it may be something related to the fuel tank rollover valve. At least that's the only reasonable thing I have read or been told.

When I fill the gas tank all the way the car will go about 25 feet and start to stall and shutoff locking the steering wheel and I have no control of the car. If I dont fill it up all the way this IS not a problem. It appears there are many people having the same issue as seen here. Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t29898_ds631498

Transmission and axle shaft area makes a whining noise as if gears are failing. The previous owner did not know what was causingthis so I do not know when the pronlem actually started! I have also noticed on newer jeep patriots the year 2015 the rear passenger sides abs/wheel speed sensor goes out as well as wheel bearing failure which started at 30,000 miles. Please fix these problems it seems like thses where not made well for the 44 feature as you display it to be capable of. Please fix these problems! Thank you! My 2007 makes popping noises during right turns the whole undercarriage has been replaced and the problem still exists!

TL* the contact owns a 2007 jeep patriot 4X4. While driving through a parking lot, the contact heard a loud popping sound from the rear driver's side of the vehicle. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The contact looked underneath the vehicle and saw a piece of the rear cross member frame that was fractured and detached. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the cross member frame needed to be replaced. The contact called cumberland chrysler dodge jeep RAM at 931-263-0321 (located at 1550 interstate dr, cookeville, tn 38501) and was informed that there was no recall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall, and referred the contact to nhtsa. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

2007 jeep patriot limited 4X4 cvt. Every time the gas tank IS filled up, the car stalls, bucks, and/or hesitates. After fill up, about a mile or less driving out of the gas station the car will buck and eventually completely stall losing power steering. This jeep had 122,000 miles on it, but this issue has occurred for every fill up since around 95,000. This IS extremely dangerous as the car has stalled in the middle of intersections or in the middle of a lane. This sounds like the same problem that IS mentioned on hundreds if not thousands of online forums. I've had the pcv valve, charcol canister, gas cap and 5 or more evap/emission parts replaced with genuine mopar parts and none of these replacements fixed the problem. This happens at any different gas station, different brands and different locations as well. The jeep stalling after fill up IS extremely dangerous and puts me at risk of harm every time I left a gas station.

Fuel propulsion system problems. My son fills up his 2007 jeep patriot. I see from many post on forms this IS a known problem. Why IS chrysler not faceing this problem. You fill the jeep up and the the car stalls out and will stop dead in traffic this IS so dangerous. What's being done about this why IS the government not hold chrysler responsible for this. We have tried to different gas stations and now are being told that it IS a known issue.

The problem has been ongoing for over a year even after trying several different expensive corrective repairs.after refueling my jeep patriot, it stalls bucks and jerks. I start it up, and upon pressing the accelerator and pull away from pumps or out into traffic it begins to sputter buck and stall. It IS very dangerouse esecially when pulling out of a gas station into traffic which has caused several close calls of my being hit because it has stalled in intersections and on the highway. I relaced the O2 sensor and it did not correct the situation. I used higher octane fuel and it did not correct the situation. I used fuel treatment purchased from dealership upon their advisement after replacing the fuel filter and having the fuel system serviced and it did not correct the situation.

After getting gas I starting driving towards the exit of the gas station. I only made it a few inches when my car started bucking and shaking really bad. My steering wheel locked so I couldn't turn my car out of the way from other drivers. I was also in drive and my car was just not moving. I decided to put it in park and let it sit there for a moment before I try to turn it on again. After about a minute I turn it on and move my car off to the side to get out of everyone's way. Once again the steering wheel locked and my car didn't want to stay on. Many minutes later after shutting it off and turning it back on I was able to drive a little ways down the road before once again my car started bucking really bad and shaking like it was going to shut off on a busy road. I decided to pull into a neighborhood where my steering wheel locked again and every light on my car came on (check engine, oil, tire, etc...). My air was coming out hot and my car smelled really bad. I decided to let my car sit there for awhile and finally after 20 minutes I was able to drive with no problems. I read up on this situation and it seems like a lot of people are having this problem with jeep patriots. I can't fill my tank up all the way because I experience these problems.

The car regularly stalls immediately after filling the gas tank up to full. Whether coming to a stop, or cruising, or lifting off the gas pedal while moving. Occasionally, early in the morning, it may stall also. It will restart immediately after stalling but the stalling IS dangerous when driving at speed, on the highway, and/or in traffic.

Much as we discovered with other complaints regarding the fuel/propulsion system on carcomplaints.com the issue IS that when the vehicle IS fueled up even if you stop when the gas dispenser clicks off the car inevitably stalls and shuts off just a few minutes after the car IS started and in motion. the stalling can occur when you get out into traffic, on highway, city street which can be a very dangerous situation. this has happened 20 times, at least, in our 2007 jeep patriot since purchasing the vehicle in october 2017. this has been a very well documented issue in the 2007 jeep patriots and apparently has to do with the charcoal canister which in order to fix, the entire gas tank has to be replaced.

After refueling my car, the engine will stutter or stall at the first stop or at leaving the gas station if the vehicle IS going less than 40 miles per hours. This has occurred on more than 10 occasions, with the last one beginning at the stoplight before turning on to the freeway. This IS a very stressful situation as it could easily cause a crash due to the engine failing unexpectedly.

After everytime I fill the fuel tank full of gasoline. After driving car from station, approximately .25 mile to 1 mile away. The engine will buck/shutter and stall while in motion at approximately 10-25 miles per hour. The engine experiences extreme loss of power with violent bursts of power. These incidents last ten seconds in duration. When attempting to merge on to highway, with heavy traffic, this can cause quite a bit of stress. this only happens after the fuel tank IS filled full.

I have owned my 2007 jeep patriot since june 2017. About 3 months into owning it I have noticed that it will stall directly after I fill my gas tank. After I leave the gas station, I notice that the jeep starts to rattle and slow down, and while this IS happening my steering wheel locks up and I am unable to turn and accelerate. This has happened about 10 times so far, and the most recent occurrence (12/11/17) it stalled 3 times within 5 minutes before the problem went away. There are no lights that warn me of this on the dash, making this a serious issue that could cause an accident if I were to be on a highway or busy intersection.

NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) evaluated this petition by 1) reviewing the Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) reports (i.e., complaints) submitted to the Agency, 2) reviewing the manufacturer's response to an Information Request letter the Agency produced, and 3) reviewing the investigative files for two prior Agency actions, specifically PE13-016 and DP14-002, both of which involved the same alleged defect condition and both of which were closed without a defect finding.Consistent with prior evaluations, ODI has determined that further investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists given the conditions under which these stalls occur.Additionally, and as indicated by the failure report counts shown above, there have been no relevant crashes, injuries or fatalities identified by either ODI or the manufacturer despite the fairly significant service life of the subject vehicles.In view of the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the agency's safety mission, ODI is denying petition.A detailed summary of ODI's analysis of this petition is available in the investigative file for this action, and will be published in the Federal Register also.The 39 VOQ reports cited above can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under the following reference (ODI) numbers:10520767, 10582092, 10630009, 10632390, 10655183, 10661543, 10669824, 10679771, 10700955, 10714106, 10721350, 10721565, 10726070, 10749804, 10776405, 10777810,10783139, 10790325, 10794850, 10817500, 10818793, 10822168, 10823089, 10823234,10826088, 10836787, 10837871, 10846388, 10850984, 10851905, 10855663, 10862684,10897450, 10905638, 10914269, 10918942, 10944115, 10944318, 10948386
