2009 Jeep Patriot 4x4 fuel system problems

Filed Mar 23, 2019 · Engine, Fuel system · 46,000 miles · IL

After filling the gas tank the car bucks and the engine dies, forcing loss of steering control and acceleration in traffic. Also, there are difficulties filling the tank with gas - the pump shuts off constantly, about every 1/3 gallon or so, which means it takes about 15-20 minutes to fill the tank. I took it to a mechanic twice and spent more than $300 in attempts to repair this to no avail. I've owned the car for 10 years, it has just about 50,000 miles on it - I bought it new at the dealer.

It has been stalling and chugging, doesn't act like it's getting gas. Doesn't matter f it's on a full tank of gas or lower. Replaced gas cap, didn't seem to help. Only seems to do this when n drive and getting up to the speed limit, whether on highway or in town. It s getting worse. Putting sea foam n doesn't seem to help or changing gas from 87 to 89. I purchase gas at several different locations, doesn't make a difference.

I have been having a very dangerous issue with my jeep. It stalls numerous times after I get fuel. It has come to my attention that this is a common issue with jeep patriots. It has also come to my attention that there is a recall on the 2012+ models for the issue. I am wondering why there is not a recall on the 2009 model that I have? After extensive research, it appears that this is a ver common problem with the 2007-2009 models as well. This issue is incredibly dangerous, and has nearly caused me to be in an accident numerous times. Being my only mode of transportation, I have no choice but to drive it. Why has jeep not issued a recall for all years, it clearly affects more than just 2012+ vehicles.

The vehicle habitually will stall while driving. It seems to be related to getting it fueled up. I cannot get any support from the dealer regarding the issue, and it seems to be a common problem when looking on various jeep patriot forums.

After filling up the fuel tank the engine will stall while driving in traffic multiple times for several miles. This is a major issue since you lose acceleration, power steering and power brakes. This has caused several near misses while turning onto an interstate. This seems to affect 2007-2009 models mostly. The only fix is to replace the entire fuel tank because of a sensor located on top for around 1200 USB. Please see the numerous complaints below.

Vehicle stalls after refueling (several times within 5 miles after refueling) before returning to normal. Vehicle stalls initially while idling immediately after refueling and while in motion. Vehicle stalled when pulling into intersection (on a public roadway), causing wheel to lock. This is a safety hazard. This happens with every refuel since the first event.

After refueling, the vehicle acts like it wants to stall and has stalled on some occasions. This is concerning to me because, I have to put the vehicle in park and restart it. I am afraid when this happens that someone behind me in traffic may slam into my jeep.. I put a recent date below, but it has been ongoing off and on since I bought it last year.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 jeep patriot 4x4. The contact stated that the vehicle was unable to properly refuel. As the failure progressed, the fuel spilled out when the contact attempted to refuel the vehicle. The dealer diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced.

Car engine dies after filling gas tank approximately 1 mile away from gas station every time. My car has died in an intersection when making a turn against oncoming traffic. Car usually dies after idling at a stop light and then upon acceleration it just dies. Car has 70,000 miles and from my research it seems to be a common problem.
