Cannot fill gas tank correctly. 30 seconds at a time due to gas tank roll over vale failure according to everything we have found on this issue with other owners. This is a serious problem that needs to be recalled. It cost around $800 to replace gas tank.. Please investigate issue and respond to [XXX]. I am doing this for my daughter she needs help with this issue it is a ongoing issue that started about 1 year ago thank you [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Every time I fill my gas tank it takes 20 minutes to fill it just keeps shutting gas off at handle. I have checked a Jeep forum it says it is a roll over valve in gas tank and entire tank has to be replaced at a cost of around $800 to $1000 dollars. It also caused engine to run rough and shut off a lot. This is something Jeep should have to repair at their cost not consumers. It has been going on for about 6-8 months and it scare me each time it happens Thank you
After filling fuel tank to full, cranking the ignition, shifting into drive, and beginning propulsion, the engine will occasionally stall. This requires me to stop, shift into park, and restart and rev the engine to prevent it from happening again, which it sometimes does. This malfunction often takes place in high-traffic areas such as intersections or onramps to the freeway.
Every time gas is filled to only the first click to stop or no click at all the car will stall after the fill. THE CAR STALLS EVERY TIME NOT ONCE IN AWHILE BUT EVERY TIME AFTER A FILL START IT UP THEN RUNS REAL RUFF AND STALLS AGAIN. Every time it is filled up. The car stalls while getting on the freeway or street. Dealer state it is the fuel roll over sensor built in the fuel tank. Jeep knows this is a problem they are passing the buck on to the car owners. This is a safety issue when the car stalls. I need to pull over every time this happens and it is every time. They have to fix and recall this safety issue.
Premature shutoff during fueling at gas pump (every two- to three-tenths of a gallon), causing long delays at each fill-up. Previous owners have reported diagnoses by certified mechanics of stuck rollover valves, which have been recalled in other Fiat-Chryslet products but not yet for the Jeep Patriot model.

Since I bought my keep in July 2020.. everytime I've filled my gas tank all the way.. at first my Jeep would do a little jumping on regular stree as I drive towards freeway but after a little bit it would go away.. but as I continue to drive for about 15 min on freeway my Jeep begins to make this whining sound and then my Jeep would accelerate above 5 on its own (scary) then would go back to normal this usually was while going up a hill on freeway.. whining cont. And accelerating may happen once more while going up the hill.. then my transmission temp light will come on. I usually pull over to let my car rest because I'm scared to drive it after it had a mind of it's own. This has only happened after I fill my tank to the full.please fix this I'm afraid it will blow my engine while on freeway ! three times this has happened after a full tank has been applied. So step by step I fill tank to full as I drive on street towards freeway it will jump a little but will go away by time I get on freeway once on freeway car seems fine for about 10 -15 min then I start to hear a whining sound almost as if it's stuck in a gear.. as I'm driving up a hill on freeway the whining gets worse and my rpms don't seem to go above 50 then my my engine will just accelerate on its own all the way passed 5.. then return to normal quickly after.. whining noise cont. As I'm still driving about 10 min later my transmission temp light will come on. That's when I get off freeway and pull over to let my car rest for a little bit.. once I get back on freeway after 10 min rest everything is back to normal no mor whining and temp light is gone.. this is an issue after filling up my tank to the full!
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!!!
The vehicle will continuously stall and buck while idling for about one minute after filling up with fuel. This has occasionally happened on the road while the vehicle is in motion immediately after leaving the gas station. In these cases, the driver is put in a very dangerous situations, as the steering wheel locks-up when the car stalls. The car is never "topped-off" but filled until the first pump click. After about a minute, the problem will resolve and the vehicle will run fine until the next fueling. The exact cause is unknown, but the evap system or fuel tank rollover-valve is suspected as the culprit. This is an extremely dangerous problem that many other Jeep Patriot owners experience and needs to be dealt with.
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.
Vehicle stalls on idle after filling up the tank. Doesn't stall when in motion. The problem usually occurs a few miles after filling up the tank; on a stop light, stop sign, etc. It is intermittent and mostly happens after refueling.
Stuck rollover valve. 86,000 miles. Rollover valve is inside gas tank, casuing replacement of entire tank. Many others online note same problem for the Patriot. Jeep recalled other models for the same problem but not the Patriot.
Gas tank cannot be filled up all the way as the car stalls and turns off in less then a mile. The car has no acceleration more then 20mhp and takes a long time in gaining speed when trying to take off after a stop and when changing lanes. Car lacks power when driving on highways, creating traffic and panic in the driver. Car is a hazard on the road and mechanics are aware but no one seems to find the issue and correct.
When I fill the gas tank all the way, the Jeep stalls shortly afterward. That turns off the power steering. It's very dangerous. Potentially deadly if it happens while cornering at higher speeds. Forums online are saying that it's a manufacturer flaw in the rollover valve inside the gas tank, and that the only way to fix it, is to replace the tank. That is a very expensive repair. The forums indicate that it is becoming a very common problem. I feel that Jeep should issue a recall on this dangerous factory flaw and pay for the repairs.
The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Patriot. After the contact refilled the fuel tank, the vehicle suddenly shut off while accelerating. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 74,000.
The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Patriot. After filling the fuel tank, the vehicle suddenly shut off. The vehicle was taken to taylor automotive (11989 hwy 22, martin, tn) where they replaced the fuel cap and parts related to the fuel system, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failures, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 110,000. The VIN was invalid.
Every time that I fill the fuel tank, my Jeep stalls one to three times within the first couple miles. This can happen at a stop light, driving out of a parking lot, or while making a low speed turn. I haven't been involved in an accident due to this issue yet, but there have been close calls to date. I took my vehicle to a mechanic to get the issue diagnosed and I was informed that it is due to a faulty roll over valve located on top of the fuel tank. The only way to correct the issue is to replace the fuel tank which is very costly.
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.
My Jeep stalls after filling tank with gas and I believe it is a faulty valve inside the tank itself which requires replacement of the entire tank and should be a recall--this is a safety issue as it causes the vehicle to stall while driving away from gas station. Saw this alert for 2012 models but it is the same issue https://autoweek.com/article/car-news/2012-Jeep-compass-and-Patriot-be-recalled-fuel-tank-problem#ixzz5sdmm78oj
