Fuel/propulsion System

CAR WILL STALL AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK, AND THERE IS A LOSS TO ALL THE DRIVING COMPONENTS. NO BRAKES, NO STEERING, NO POWER. VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY SAY IT IS SOMETHING IN THE GAS TANK, AND THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE IT IS TO REPLACE IT IS TO BUY A NEW GAS TANK. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORUMS WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE ISSUE RECALL THIS IS NOT SAFE.

CAR HAS HARD TIME STARTING AFTER SHORT TIME OF BEING SHUT OFF. COMPANY KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM, IT HAS INSTRUCTIONS IN OWNERS M ANUAL ON HOW TO RESTART CAR. SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE A LONG TIME. THIS CAN PUT A LOT OF UNNECESSARY STRESS ON THE BATTERY. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL & BE FIXED BY COMPANY. PLEASE NOTE: I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER.

EVERY TIME I REFUEL THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND STALLS. NO MATTER WHAT GRADE OF FUEL. IT WILL SPUTTER AND STALL FOR UP TO 20 MILES AFTER I FILL IT UP. IT HAS EVEN STALLED WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS WHEN THAT HAPPENS. IT'S NOT SAFE. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN REPLACING STUFF HOPING TO FIND A FIX BUT NO LUCK SO FAR. IT WILL STALL STATIONARY, MOVING, TURNING, OR BRAKING. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE SOMETHING RELATED TO THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE. AT LEAST THAT'S THE ONLY REASONABLE THING I HAVE READ OR BEEN TOLD.

UPON EACH COMPLETE FILL-UP WITH GASOLINE, SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING OFF FROM FUELING, THE VEHICLE WILL BUCK SEVERELY, AND SHUT OFF. WHEN IT SHUTS OFF AND ROLLS TO A STOP, STEERING CONTROL AND POWER BRAKING IS LOST, AND YOU ARE AT THE MERCY OF ALL TRAFFIC AROUND YOU! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE AROUND 2012. FROM COUNTLESS HOURS OF INVESTIGATION FROM OTHER OWNERS ON FORUMS, DISCUSSIONS WITH DEALERSHIP PERSONNEL, AS WELL AS MY OWN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC'S ELECTRONIC AND MECHANICAL ANALYSIS, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG PATRIOT & COMPASS OWNERS OF MULTIPLE PRODUCTION YEARS. THE ONLY WORK AROUND IS TO NOT FILL UP THE (ALREADY TINY) FUEL TANK COMPLETELY. THE MOST LIKELY ROOT CAUSE IS A MALFUNCTIONING FUEL TANK ROLL-OVER VALVE, WHICH ALLOWS RAW FUEL TO ENTER THE EVAP SYSTEM, AND UPON THE ECM ISSUING A "PURGE COMMAND," THE VEHICLE STALLS. COMPOUNDING THE SITUATION IS THAT THE ROLL-OVER VALVE IS NOT REPLACEABLE SEPARATELY FROM THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY. WITH THE VE...

AFTER FILLING UP AT GAS STATION AND GETTING ON HIGHWAY ENGINE SHUTS OFF AFTER THE JEEP BUCKED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN ENGINE SHUT OFF STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. HAD TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL URN KEY TO TURN ON ENGINE. ADDITIONALLY AFTER THAT,JEEP CONTINUALLY DIES IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING FILL UP AT GAS STATION. IT CURRENTLY DIES APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE THE ENGINE WILL STAY RUNNING. THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS EVENT. IF IT SHUTS OFF AND I DO NOT WAIT AT THE GAS STATION WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND I COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION THAT JEEP / CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX. WAS THERE A CRASH ... ALMOST!
