Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“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. …”

NHTSA complaint #11287020, filed 2019-12, 99,752 miles

“Every single time I fill up the tank, it runs a very short distance from the gas station and starts to buck and jolt like it wants to shut off. When the car stalls out, the steering wheel locks up and the brakes lose power. Very dangerous!”

NHTSA complaint #11129474, filed 2018-09, 88,000 miles

“Going to town driving between 45mph and 50mph and the front tires stop turning and skid to a stop. Therefore causing my head face to strike the steering well resulting in a bleeding nose and a bruised chest.”
