Jeep stalls out on road. could only go 20 mph after restarting
When i gas up below a quarter of a tank my jeep stalls out and steering locks up completely in the span of a second so i have no time to move over. if i gas up at around a quarter or above it lurches really bad several times for next few minutes then runs fine until gassing up again then repeat. i was almost in an accident the first time this happened now i have to drive fifteen minutes away to gas up and drive the back roads to let it run it's course so if i stall i won't get killed. it it supposedly the valve on top of the gas tank resulting in the whole thing needing to be replaced. this has almost gotten me killed as well as many others who i've seen discussing the issue. please look into this and get this recalled!
Stuck rollover valve. 86,000 miles. rollover valve is inside gas tank, casuing replacement of entire tank. many others online note same problem for the patriot. jeep recalled other models for the same problem but not the patriot.
The gas tank can not be filled at the gas pump without reducing the flow to the minimum level. as a result it take 20 minutes to put 10 gallons in the gas tank. this is dangerous late at night or in bad weather. this issue started in october and is getting worse.
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 ...
Every time i fill up the gas tank and then drive, the jeep stalls, i lose steering, it is not safe. it has happened several times.
The valve inside the fuel tank broke and the jeep can no longer be filled with gas without the gas pump believing it is already full and turning off. this results in many, many attempts to put fuel into the vehicle and gas leaking out of the fuel pump down the side of the jeep and all over the ground. my mechanic was trying to find the issue and in his research found it to be a known problem but a non serviceable piece, meaning the entire fuel tank must be replaced. this is something that should not have failed and created an environmental hazard and a potential fire hazard as well.
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 ...
