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.Read more

AFTER THE TANK IS FILLED TO FULL, I THEN DRIVE OFF, AND THE NEXT TIME THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE CUTS OUT. THE CAR HAS TO BE PUT INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE IS ABLE TO RESTART, AND THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL - BUT IT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL OUT. AS LONG AS I DON'T FILL

AFTER FUELING I WILL LEAVE THE GAS STATION AND MY PATRIOT WILL SPUTTER AND OFTEN DIE WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL MY PATRIOT UP WITH FUEL.
Incident date: Jul 15, 2013
UPON EACH COMPLETE FILL-UP WITH GASOLINE, SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING OFF FROM FUELING, THE VEHICLE WILL BUCK SEVERELY, AND SHUT OFF. WHEN IT SHUTS OFF AND ROLLS TO A STOP, STEERING CONTROL AND POWER BRAKING IS LOST, AND YOU ARE AT THE MERCY OF ALL TRAFFIC AROUND YOU! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE AROUND
... 2012. FROM COUNTLESS HOURS OF INVESTIGATION FROM OTHER OWNERS ON FORUMS, DISCUSSIONS WITH DEALERSHIP PERSONNEL, AS WELL AS MY OWN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC'S ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL ANALYSIS, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG PATRIOT & COMPASS OWNERS OF MULTIPLE PRODUCTION YEARS. THE ONLY WORK AROUND IS TO NOT FILL UP THE (ALREADY TINY) FUEL TANK COMPLETELY. THE MOST LIKELY ROOT CAUSE IS A MALFUNCTIONING FUEL TANK ROLL-OVER VALVE, WHICH ALLOWS RAW FUEL TO ENTER THE EVAP SYSTEM, AND UPON THE ECM ISSUING A "PURGE COMMAND," THE VEHICLE STALLS. COMPOUNDING THE SITUATION IS THAT THE ROLL-OVER VALVE IS NOT REPLACEABLE SEPARATELY FROM THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY. WITH THE VEHICLE BEING LONG OUT OF WARRANTY, THE COST OF A COMPLETE NEW FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY PLUS LABOR, IS PROHIBITIVE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO STAND BEHIND. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS WHEN LEAVING GAS STATIONS, PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND NEARLY BEING REAR-ENDED WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. I IMAGINE IF NHTSA DOES NOT HOLD CHRYSLER ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL OF THESE NON-CONFORMING VEHICLES, WHICH BY NOW ARE MOSTLY OUT OF WARRANTY, THE ONLY WAY TO GET CHRYSLER TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, WOULD BE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE STALLING ISSUE, AND THEN SUE THEM, ASSUMING I LIVED! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. DEALERSHIPS AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER RELATIONS HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY NO HELP AT ALL. YOU ARE OUR ONLY HOPE.Read more

AFTER FILLING UP AT GAS STATION AND GETTING ON HIGHWAY ENGINE SHUTS OFF AFTER THE JEEP BUCKED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN ENGINE SHUT OFF STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. HAD TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL URN KEY TO TURN ON ENGINE. ADDITIONALLY AFTER THAT,JEEP CONTINUALLY DIES IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING FILL UP AT GAS STATION.

... ALER DO IT, AND PAY OUT OF MY POCKET. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE PATRIOTS, AND SOME JEEPS IN GENERAL. THIS IS NOT A FIX I CAN AFFORD, NOT CAN I GET A NEW CAR AT THIS TIME. MECHANICS AT THE DEALER WERE SHOCKED CHRYSLER DID NOT APPROVE THIS, SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.Read more
