After fueling the jeep it stalls when the next idle or two occurs. For example, after fueling, the jeep is driven and stalls at the first stop light. Sometimes it occurs when trying to pull away from the gas station. It is very dangerous as the steering wheel locks up and you have to stop the vehicle and restart it in traffic. It only happens when fueling the tank to full. This is a safety issue as it could cause an accident pulling out into traffic from the gas station. It happens every time the tank is filled up.

After refueling the patriot I drove approximately 1/4 mile and the vehicle bucked, shuddered and shut off. The steering wheel locked in place and since there was no vacuum pressure the breaks we're not very effective. I was able to restart the vehicle after putting it in nuetral while on the entrance ramp to an interstate. This was the second time this had happened and until now I did not know they incidents were connected. The first time it occurred I had just refueled and was pulling up at a stop light and it turned off while I was stopping for the light.

Have had my jeep for 6 years its always stalling I took it to jeep chrysler dodge, firestone nobody can figure out whats wrong; it actually turns itself off and nobody knows why. This is dangerous this car needs a recall. I have read that 2012 models do this same thing but this one does it too.also the sunroof leaks as well and the rainwater goes into the lights. I would never recommend a jeep to anybody ever again, these cars are not safe and no one cares about this problem.I have paid to get it looked at but they don't know how to fix it, I have been told it probably needs a system update there is nothing wrong but yet my car turns itself off all the time going down the highway at speeds 65 miles an hour the engine stalls and shuts off the sunroof has leaked and poured inside the jeep since the day I had it it's a very dangerous vehicle it needs to please be investigated

Everytime wife fills the fuel tank, the engine shuts off. 80% of the time it happens in the intersection leaving the fuel station. She has almost been in numerous accidents because of this problem. She looses power steering as the pump is no longer running because the engine has shut down. Jeep dealer says this is a common safety problem, and that the fuel tank is the culprit. The overflow valve on the fuel tank is faulty. There are numerous complaints with other owners with the same safety issue. This need to be a recall before someone gets killed.
