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.

What owners say
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.

When I fill the gas tank all the way the car will go about 25 feet and start to stall and shutoff locking the steering wheel and I have no control of the car. If I dont fill it up all the way this is not a problem. It appears there are many people having the same issue as seen here. Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t29898_ds631498
2007 jeep patriot limited 4x4 CVT. Every time the gas tank is filled up, the car stalls, bucks, and/or hesitates. After fill up, about a mile or less driving out of the gas station the car will buck and eventually completely stall losing power steering. This jeep had 122,000 miles on it, but this issue has occurred for every fill up since around 95,000. This is extremely dangerous as the car has stalled in the middle of intersections or in the middle of a lane. This sounds like the same problem that is mentioned on hundreds if not thousands of online forums. I've had the pcv valve, charcol canister, gas cap and 5 or more evap/emission parts replaced with genuine mopar parts and none of these replacements fixed the problem. This happens at any different gas station, different brands and different locations as well. The jeep stalling after fill up is extremely dangerous and puts me at risk of harm every time I left a gas station.
Fuel propulsion system problems. My son fills up his 2007 jeep patriot. I see from many post on forms this is a known problem. Why is chrysler not faceing this problem. You fill the jeep up and the the car stalls out and will stop dead in traffic this is so dangerous. What's being done about this why is the government not hold chrysler responsible for this. We have tried to different gas stations and now are being told that it is a known issue.
The problem has been ongoing for over a year even after trying several different expensive corrective repairs.after refueling my jeep patriot, it stalls bucks and jerks. I start it up, and upon pressing the accelerator and pull away from pumps or out into traffic it begins to sputter buck and stall. It is very dangerouse esecially when pulling out of a gas station into traffic which has caused several close calls of my being hit because it has stalled in intersections and on the highway. I relaced the o2 sensor and it did not correct the situation. I used higher octane fuel and it did not correct the situation. I used fuel treatment purchased from dealership upon their advisement after replacing the fuel filter and having the fuel system serviced and it did not correct the situation.
Vehicle stalls and steering locks up. This happened twice when I was turning and almost got in an accident both times somebody is going to get killed! Serious safety issue !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vapor/liquid separator valve. Everytime I fill up my gas tank, within a few meters of the gas station my car begins to bucks and stall. Every single time! Almost causing multiple accidents. This is an ongoing problem
The car regularly stalls immediately after filling the gas tank up to full. Whether coming to a stop, or cruising, or lifting off the gas pedal while moving. Occasionally, early in the morning, it may stall also. It will restart immediately after stalling but the stalling is dangerous when driving at speed, on the highway, and/or in traffic.
Much as we discovered with other complaints regarding the fuel/propulsion system on carcomplaints.com the issue is that when the vehicle is fueled up even if you stop when the gas dispenser clicks off the car inevitably stalls and shuts off just a few minutes after the car is started and in motion. The stalling can occur when you get out into traffic, on highway, city street which can be a very dangerous situation. This has happened 20 times, at least, in our 2007 jeep patriot since purchasing the vehicle in october 2017. This has been a very well documented issue in the 2007 jeep patriots and apparently has to do with the charcoal canister which in order to fix, the entire gas tank has to be replaced.
After refueling my car, the engine will stutter or stall at the first stop or at leaving the gas station if the vehicle is going less than 40 miles per hours. This has occurred on more than 10 occasions, with the last one beginning at the stoplight before turning on to the freeway. This is a very stressful situation as it could easily cause a crash due to the engine failing unexpectedly.
