It started out with stumbling idle and stalling after refueling. Which was dangerous as it would do it for up to a mile afterwards when you're trying to get back on the highway. Now my problem is the jeep will not refuel. You put the nozzle in and it takes a little bit and it kicks off. Pull the nozzle out and reinsert it and it does it again. It will also spit fuel out at you if you are not careful. Now the stalling as mentioned prior happens almost any time while driving.
2009 Jeep Patriot 4x4 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After refueling my vehicle while pulling away from the pump, it started bucking and stalled completely. I have had the bucking and surging unstable idle after refueling. It seems to be getting worse as time goes on. This problem has been going on right about 6 months.
I cannot put fuel into the vehicle without it continuously shutting the gas off after a few seconds. I have been told that the entire gas tank needs to be replaced. I found a technical service bulletin (tsb 14-001-09 rev.a) that addresses the exact same issue with other chrysler automobiles, but the 2009 jeep patriot is not included. My online research has uncovered other jeep patriot owners who have experienced the exact same issue with no recourse but to pay out-of-pocket for a new fuel tank. I have been quoted $1400.00 to have the fuel tank replaced. I do not understand why chrysler jeep is not taking responsibility for this issue with the 2009 patriot. I would be interested in knowing how many jeep patriot owners had to have their gas tanks replaced and if chrysler jeep has repair records of gas tank replacements done in their repair shops. What happens if someone cannot afford to have this fixed?
Vehicle does not fill up with gasoline properly, potentially due to a malfunctioning safety device in the gas tank. The pump turns off after.5 gallons, and must wait approximately 15 seconds and then put in another .5 gallons, and so on. The jeep dealership believes it is a stuck/malfunctioning roll over valve located in the gas tank and since the roll over valve is a part of the tank, the entire tank would have to be replaced. While the fill up problem is an inconvenience a malfunctioning roll over valve in an accident, specifically a roll over accident, may allow fuel to leak out creating a serious life safety situation that may not otherwise exist. The problem is intermittent, it began shortly after I bought the jeep used in february 2013, went away for a while, but now the problem has come back.
