“After fueling the car, the engine stalls and the car stops frequently. In traffic and causing a serious hazard to me, my passengers and the other drivers in the area. The car would sputter and stall at stop signs and lights, when stopped, when slowing (under 40 MPH) and when accelerating from a slow down or stop.”
NHTSA complaint #11329922, filed 2020-06, 70,000 miles“Every time I feel my gas tank up and drive away, my vehicle bucks and then steering freezes up and my Jeep stalls. This is very scary and has gotten worse. Especially getting gas off the freeway and going on the freeway! This has been happening for about a year and has gotten worse!!!”
NHTSA complaint #11330540, filed 2020-06, 55,000 miles“After filling up with gas car stumbles and dies at stops for about five minutes minutes afterwards. This procedure goes on for about ten miles all I read says it is a safety valve on top off gas tank. Only way to fix is relace the whole gas tank. This happens when vehicle is in motion or just setting idleling. Rpm starts to decreace and smothers plum out. I purchased this vehicle used it has done this ever since ive owned it.”
NHTSA complaint #11182198, filed 2019-02, 145,000 miles“My 2010 Patriot limited stalls all the time. It gets worse while sitting at a red light. I have to put the car in neutral, rev up the engine so it does not go dead. It seems to get worse if the gas tank is below 1/2 tank. Also I really thought someone was stealing my gas because the gauge goes up and down. All the info I have looked up it's all Jeep products 2010 2011 2012 2013 all have the same problems.”
NHTSA complaint #10691235, filed 2015-02, 49,000 miles“Every time I fillup my Jeep I get within 1 mile of gas station it begins to stall. This happened everytime I fill up for the past 5 years. The Jeep will just shutoff and the power steering stops working being that it stalled. This has almost caused me to crash many times and to get the problem fixed Jeep dealership said I would have to replace the entire gas tank. Doing some research lots of people are complaining about this happening to them and being very costly to fix. …”
