“Every time I fill up my 2007 Jeep Patriot with fuel when I drive off into the city streets it turns off on me and everything locks up in traffic while I'm in motion almost causing a accident every time and that's once a week can you please help me before I get killed or someone else gets killed.”
NHTSA complaint #11360571, filed 2020-09, 1 miles“After the tank is filled to full, I then drive off, and the next time the car comes to a complete stop, the engine cuts out. The car has to be put into park and the engine is able to restart, and this only happens when the tank is full - but it causes the engine to stall out. As long as I don't fill the tank to full, it won't happen. However this has been consistently happening anytime I fill up the tank over the last year and a half.”
NHTSA complaint #11279579, filed 2019-11, 96,000 miles“Went and filled up my gas tank (filled it up, did not top it off). When I left the gas station I was sitting at a stop light and my engine turned off (music was still playing, just the engine had turned off) this happened for the next 30 minutes on my way home. The next day it was running fine. If I only fill up my gas tank 1/2 way there is no problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10582902, filed 2014-04, 60,000 miles“After filling the gas tank the engine will stall. It happens with engine idleing or after enterring traffic.

NHTSA complaint #10817500, filed 2016-01, 59,700 miles“Every time I fill up with gas the car makes it to the first stop sign and then just dies. I start it up and start to drive it and it dies again. I have to sit in one spot and keep trying to drive hoping it won't die and I will get hit.”
