2008 Jeep Patriot

AFTER REFILLING THE GAS TANK THE CAR WILL JERK SUDDENLY AND OR STALL WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM WILL STOP AFTER THE CAR DRIVES FOR A MILE OR SO. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR HALTED (AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR BEFORE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC). IN PARTICULAR I HAVE BEEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND HAD THE CAR NOT MOVE FORWARD OR SLOWLY ROLL FORWARD. I HAVE ALSO BEEN AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE THE CAR STALLS/JERKS. AFTER THE CAR IS DRIVEN AROUND FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE STALLING AND JERKING DOES NOT OCCUR AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND AT FIRST DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE JERKING. HOWEVER, IT DID STALL SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THIS COMPLAINT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP PATRIOT. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FUEL THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL REPEATEDLY STOPPED PUMPING AND THE TANK FAILED TO FILL. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VENT PIPE FAILED AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,500. *BF RE: MY EARLIER INQUIRY ABOUT MY PROBLEMS FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY 2008 JEEP PATRIOT. FILLED OUT FORM AND AM WONDERING IF YOU HAVE MORE INFORMATION OR SUGGESTIONS FROM OTHER OWNERS.*DT *JS

FOR THE PAST YEAR, AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AND DRIVING 1/2 TO 1 MILE THE ENGINE SPUTTERS/BUCKS AND CUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS WITH EVERY FILL-UP. YES, EVERY FILL-UP. I DON'T OVER FILL, I JUST STOP FILLING WHEN THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL SO AS NOT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE I LIVE, I COULD BE KILLED. I READ ABOUT THE PROBLEM ON A JEEP FORUM AND FOUND ABOUT THIS WEBSITE SO I THOUGHT I WOULD FILE A COMPLAINT DUE TO THE DANGEROUS CONDITION.

SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, IT STALLS AND SPUTTERS FOR 3-60 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS AFTER EVERY REFUEL. DURING MOST FILL UPS I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AFTER THE FILL UP I GET BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND GET UP TO 60-70MPH, WHEN IT SPUTTERS AT THIS SPEED THE CAR JERKS AND I BRIEFLY LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE BECAUSE GAS WILL NOT PUMP DURING THE SPUTTERING. IF I FILL UP WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY THE JEEP SIMPLY JUST DIES IF THE RPM ARE UNDER 900 OR IF IT'S IDLING. EVERYTHING ON THE JEEP IS STOCK, NO AFTERMARKET PARTS. I HAVE SEEN REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO NUMEROUS OTHER JEEP PATRIOT OWNERS. I AM UNSURE OF THE PART CAUSING THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP PATRIOT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOR AN INSPECTION AND THE INSPECTOR INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT PASS DUE TO THE SUB FRAME HAVING BEEN SEVERELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE LEVEL OF CORROSION WAS CONFIRMED AND DIAGNOSED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,069. UPDATED 04/18/17LJ *CN
