2009 Jeep Patriot 4X4 Fuel system Problems

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE CAR BUCKS AND THE ENGINE DIES, FORCING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND ACCELERATION IN TRAFFIC. ALSO, THERE ARE DIFFICULTIES FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS - THE PUMP SHUTS OFF CONSTANTLY, ABOUT EVERY 1/3 GALLON OR SO, WHICH MEANS IT TAKES ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES TO FILL THE TANK. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TWICE AND SPENT MORE THAN $300 IN ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THIS TO NO AVAIL. I'VE OWNED THE CAR FOR 10 YEARS, IT HAS JUST ABOUT 50,000 MILES ON IT - I BOUGHT IT NEW AT THE DEALER.

IT HAS BEEN STALLING AND CHUGGING, DOESN'T ACT LIKE IT'S GETTING GAS. DOESN'T MATTER F IT'S ON A FULL TANK OF GAS OR LOWER. REPLACED GAS CAP, DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP. ONLY SEEMS TO DO THIS WHEN N DRIVE AND GETTING UP TO THE SPEED LIMIT, WHETHER ON HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN. IT S GETTING WORSE. PUTTING SEA FOAM N DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP OR CHANGING GAS FROM 87 TO 89. I PURCHASE GAS AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH MY JEEP. IT STALLS NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER I GET FUEL. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH JEEP PATRIOTS. IT HAS ALSO COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2012+ MODELS FOR THE ISSUE. I AM WONDERING WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE 2009 MODEL THAT I HAVE? AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VER COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2007-2009 MODELS AS WELL. THIS ISSUE IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT NUMEROUS TIMES. BEING MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT. WHY HAS JEEP NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR ALL YEARS, IT CLEARLY AFFECTS MORE THAN JUST 2012+ VEHICLES.

THE VEHICLE HABITUALLY WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO GETTING IT FUELED UP. I CANNOT GET ANY SUPPORT FROM THE DEALER REGARDING THE ISSUE, AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WHEN LOOKING ON VARIOUS JEEP PATRIOT FORUMS.

AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SEVERAL MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE SINCE YOU LOSE ACCELERATION, POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WHILE TURNING ONTO AN INTERSTATE. THIS SEEMS TO AFFECT 2007-2009 MODELS MOSTLY. THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK BECAUSE OF A SENSOR LOCATED ON TOP FOR AROUND 1200 USB. PLEASE SEE THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BELOW.

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER REFUELING (SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN 5 MILES AFTER REFUELING) BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL. VEHICLE STALLS INITIALLY WHILE IDLING IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING AND WHILE IN MOTION. VEHICLE STALLED WHEN PULLING INTO INTERSECTION (ON A PUBLIC ROADWAY), CAUSING WHEEL TO LOCK. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS HAPPENS WITH EVERY REFUEL SINCE THE FIRST EVENT.

AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL AND HAS STALLED ON SOME OCCASIONS. THIS IS CONCERNING TO ME BECAUSE, I HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART IT. I AM AFRAID WHEN THIS HAPPENS THAT SOMEONE BEHIND ME IN TRAFFIC MAY SLAM INTO MY JEEP.. I PUT A RECENT DATE BELOW, BUT IT HAS BEEN ONGOING OFF AND ON SINCE I BOUGHT IT LAST YEAR.

CAR ENGINE DIES AFTER FILLING GAS TANK APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE AWAY FROM GAS STATION EVERY TIME. MY CAR HAS DIED IN AN INTERSECTION WHEN MAKING A TURN AGAINST ONCOMING TRAFFIC. CAR USUALLY DIES AFTER IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT AND THEN UPON ACCELERATION IT JUST DIES. CAR HAS 70,000 MILES AND FROM MY RESEARCH IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM.

IT STARTED OUT WITH STUMBLING IDLE AND STALLING AFTER REFUELING. WHICH WAS DANGEROUS AS IT WOULD DO IT FOR UP TO A MILE AFTERWARDS WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY. NOW MY PROBLEM IS THE JEEP WILL NOT REFUEL. YOU PUT THE NOZZLE IN AND IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT AND IT KICKS OFF. PULL THE NOZZLE OUT AND REINSERT IT AND IT DOES IT AGAIN. IT WILL ALSO SPIT FUEL OUT AT YOU IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL. NOW THE STALLING AS MENTIONED PRIOR HAPPENS ALMOST ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING.

AFTER REFUELING MY VEHICLE WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM THE PUMP, IT STARTED BUCKING AND STALLED COMPLETELY. I HAVE HAD THE BUCKING AND SURGING UNSTABLE IDLE AFTER REFUELING. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON RIGHT ABOUT 6 MONTHS.

I CANNOT PUT FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE WITHOUT IT CONTINUOUSLY SHUTTING THE GAS OFF AFTER A FEW SECONDS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 14-001-09 REV.A) THAT ADDRESSES THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES, BUT THE 2009 JEEP PATRIOT IS NOT INCLUDED. MY ONLINE RESEARCH HAS UNCOVERED OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH NO RECOURSE BUT TO PAY OUT-OF-POCKET FOR A NEW FUEL TANK. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $1400.00 TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER JEEP IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2009 PATRIOT. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING HOW MANY JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS HAD TO HAVE THEIR GAS TANKS REPLACED AND IF CHRYSLER JEEP HAS REPAIR RECORDS OF GAS TANK REPLACEMENTS DONE IN THEIR REPAIR SHOPS. WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED?

VEHICLE DOES NOT FILL UP WITH GASOLINE PROPERLY, POTENTIALLY DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING SAFETY DEVICE IN THE GAS TANK. THE PUMP TURNS OFF AFTER.5 GALLONS, AND MUST WAIT APPROXIMATELY 15 SECONDS AND THEN PUT IN ANOTHER .5 GALLONS, AND SO ON. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP BELIEVES IT IS A STUCK/MALFUNCTIONING ROLL OVER VALVE LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK AND SINCE THE ROLL OVER VALVE IS A PART OF THE TANK, THE ENTIRE TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. WHILE THE FILL UP PROBLEM IS AN INCONVENIENCE A MALFUNCTIONING ROLL OVER VALVE IN AN ACCIDENT, SPECIFICALLY A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT, MAY ALLOW FUEL TO LEAK OUT CREATING A SERIOUS LIFE SAFETY SITUATION THAT MAY NOT OTHERWISE EXIST. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, IT BEGAN SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE JEEP USED IN FEBRUARY 2013, WENT AWAY FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW THE PROBLEM HAS COME BACK. *TR
