AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS TWICE NOW IT STALLS RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP THE GAS TANK. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND I'VE BEEN STALLED IN AN INTERSECTION THAT IS NOT SAFE. I JUST PURCHASED THIS USED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND WAS NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM OR I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT. IT'S A FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO. THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH IS AN EXPENSIVE JOB. SHOULD BE RECALLED SO PEOPLE CAN GET IT FIXED BY DEALER AT THE DEALER COST. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS WITH NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR IT IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. WHY WASN'T THIS RECALLED YEARS AGO.

WHEN I GAS UP BELOW A QUARTER OF A TANK MY JEEP STALLS OUT AND STEERING LOCKS UP COMPLETELY IN THE SPAN OF A SECOND SO I HAVE NO TIME TO MOVE OVER. IF I GAS UP AT AROUND A QUARTER OR ABOVE IT LURCHES REALLY BAD SEVERAL TIMES FOR NEXT FEW MINUTES THEN RUNS FINE UNTIL GASSING UP AGAIN THEN REPEAT. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE FIFTEEN MINUTES AWAY TO GAS UP AND DRIVE THE BACK ROADS TO LET IT RUN IT'S COURSE SO IF I STALL I WON'T GET KILLED. IT IT SUPPOSEDLY THE VALVE ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK RESULTING IN THE WHOLE THING NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS ALMOST GOTTEN ME KILLED AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS WHO I'VE SEEN DISCUSSING THE ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND GET THIS RECALLED!

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW IN 3 DAYS. AFTER FULLY FILLING MY FUEL TANK AND THEN DRIVING AWAY FROM THE PUMP MY JEEP PATRIOT STALLS BEFORE I HIT 3/10 OF A MILE FROM THE GAS STATION. CONTRARY TO SOME OTHER REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE, THAT I HAVE READ, AS WELL AS THE EXPLANATION OF THE ISSUE POSTED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, FROM FCA, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ONLY AT IDLE. RATHER IT HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING. WHEN MY JEEP STALLS I ALSO LOSE THE ABILITY TO FULLY STEER (CAN ONLY TURN THE WHEEL APPX 1/4 TURN) AND BRAKING DOES NOT WORK AS WELL AS IT NORMALLY DOES. WHEN IT HAPPENED TODAY I ENDED UP MOUNTING A CURB AND SIDEWALK IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. THE STREET I WAS ON WAS TURNING BUT I COULDN'T TURN WITH IT. IF I HAD NOT ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE I WOULD HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH A CHAIN LINK FENCE AND INTO A HOME. ONCE I RESTARTED MY JEEP AND BACKED OFF OF THE CURB THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN WHILE MY JEEP WAS IN MOTION. LUCKILY I WAS BARELY MOVING AND ALREADY HAD MY HAND ON THE EMERGENCY/PA...
