2007 Jeep Patriot 4X4 Fuel system Problems

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

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 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.

I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE BUCKING AND EVEN STALLING AFTER A FULL TANK FILL UP. IT USUALLY BUCKLES WHEN I AM MOVING AND STALLS IF I AM STATIONARY. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS THREADS FROM OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD MANY TIMES. LUCKILY I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME IF IT CONTINUES. IT SHOULD NOT MATTER IF THIS ONLY HAPPENS TO A HUNDRED PEOPLE OR THOUSANDS. LIVES ARE LIVES AND THEY SHOULD BE PROTECTED! PLEASE HELP US ALL ENCOUNTERING THIS PROBLEM. THE COST IS VERY HIGH TO REPLACE A WHOLE TANK AND MANY OF US CAN NOT AFFORD IT. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP US STAY SAFE!

UNABLE TO FILL THE GAS TANK WITHOUT THE NOZZLE CLICKING OFF. IF SMALL AMOUNTS OF FUEL ARE POURED INTO THE GAS TANK IT WILL EVENTUALLY FILL. HAD THE CAR GONE THROUGH AND THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TANK BECAUSE THE VALVE IS A INTEGRAL PART OF THE TANK. CAR HAS 35000 MILES.

AFTER DOING A FULL REFUEL OF THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHILE IN MOTION, LOOSING ALL ASSISTED STEERING AND BREAKING. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED ENGINE STALLED IN MID TRAFFIC AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ON THE CITY. SECOND TIME I REACHED THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT STALLED THIS WAS EVEN MORE SCARY. VEHICLE WILL RESTART AFTER PUTTING IN PARK AND STALL AGAIN A COUPLE OF BLOCKS DOWN. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE TANK IS FILED TILL GAS STATION PUMP AUTO STOPS. IF I FILL 3/4 THEN NO STALLING OCCURS. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS. SOME CLAIM THAT IT IS RELATED TO LIQUID FUEL GOING INTO THE EVAP CANISTER AND THEN BEING SENT TO THE ENGINE WHEN FIECU EXPECTS FUEL VAPORS. THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE FATAL INJURIES IF ENGINE STALLS ON THE WRONG PLACE.

EACH TIME I FILL THE TANK WITH GAS AND DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD THE JEEP SHUTS OFF AND LOSES POWER INSTANTLY. I COULDN'T GET IT RESTARTED. NOW I'M RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. NO POWER STEERING, STOPPED HARD AND SUDDENLY. I COULD NOT RESTART THE JEEP. SEVERAL CARS JUST MISSED FROM HITTING ME. I KEEP TRYING TO START IT MEANWHILE A TRUCK IS HEADING MY WAY BEHIND ME. HE SLAMS ON HIS BREAKS, YET A SEMI TRUCK TAKES AT LEAST SIX CAR LENGTH TO STOP. HE SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING ME THANK GOD. NOW I ONLY PUT 3/4 OF A TANK OF GAS. IT'S FRUSTRATING TO TRAVEL LONG DISTANCE DUE TO HAVING TO STOP FOR GAS MORE OFTEN. THE SCARIEST THING IS THE HUGE CHANCE OF IT STALLING COMPLETELY WITH NO POWER AND GETTING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME. THE IMPACT OF GETTING HIT COULD KILL PEOPLE DUE TO THE HARSH SUDDEN STOP. IS THERE ANYWAY THIS CAN BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALL THE PART CAUSING THIS? THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES. I LIVE IN A LARGE CITY SO MOST OF THE ROADS ARE FREEWAYS AND HIGHWAY. SPEED LIMIT IS 65 TO 70 MPH.

WHEN GAS TANK IS FILLED UP, THE ENGINE WILL STALL OR "SURGE" FOR THE FIRST FEW MILES. AFTER THAT THE VEHICLE RUNS NORMAL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS RELATED TO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER LOCATED IN THE FUEL TANK. THIS HAS BECOME AN ISSUE FOR A LARGE NUMBER OF JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS AND IT IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE FIXED BY A DEALER.

THE LAST WAS THE WORST BECAUSE IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO RESTART AND WAS IN TRAFFIC. ENGINE SOUNDED FLOODED. HAD TO LET IT SET A FEW MINUTES BEFORE RETRYING. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.
