NHTSA complaint #10817500, filed 2016-01, 59,700 miles“After filling gas tank with fuel, after 30ish seconds the engine will stall and sometimes recover, sometimes quit. This happens regardless of whether I am stopped at a light/sign or driving. I have read numerous reports of others having this same issue. Seems that the charcoal canister is filling with gas. Please help make this a known issue for other drivers! This has happened over the last 3 or 4 months with my vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10851905, filed 2016-03, 150,000 miles“My Jeep stalls every time after I fill it with gas, I pull out in traffic and it just stalls and I have no control over steering or nothing. It is extremely dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #11161963, filed 2018-12, 65,000 miles“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. It currently dies approximately 3 times in a row before the engine will stay running. This is a highly dangerous event. If it shuts off and I do not wait at the gas station while I'm driving down the road then the steering wheel locks and I could have an accident and kill myself or someone else. …”
NHTSA complaint #11219853, filed 2019-06, 140,000 miles“The car stalled out since the first day I bought it (jan. 1, 2008). It is now august 2014 and I still have this problem, except now it's a much more dangerous and bigger problem. If I go slow or stop to turn in the middle of an intersection, it stalls out. I almost got hit/killed today. The terrible part about it is that I've been complaining about this from day 1. Every time I take it to the dealership, they can never find the problem. I just tried calling chrysler and they are telling me I've only taken it in once for this issue, which is not true at all.. …”
