Jeep Patriot 4x4 power steering loss problems

Filed Jul 18, 2019 · Fuel system · 122,000 miles · TX

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.

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.

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.

Upon refilling the gas tank to full from near empty, the car will immediately stutter and occasionally stall for up to five minutes. I discovered this upon pulling out into traffic and the engine turning off. This LED to loss of power steering as well. Other cars had to immediately divert or collide into my car. Upon restarting the car did this three more times within 2 miles. No emergency lights or warning lights go off. This is allegedly a fuel system problem and the engine is "choking" due to a faulty sensor. This has occurred three times now.

Mechanic said my sub-frame was severely rusted and will very soon be unsafe to drive as it may break while driving. Why has the same problem that was addressed in an extended warranty for 2007 models not been addressed for 2009? Loss of steering at highway speeds seems to be a major safety issue that could cause injury or death to myself, my family and other drivers.

Each time I fill the tank with gas and drive down the road the jeep shuts off and loses power instantly. I couldn't get it restarted. Now I'm right in the middle of the road in traffic. No power steering, stopped hard and suddenly. I could not restart the jeep. Several cars just missed from hitting me. I keep trying to start it meanwhile a truck is heading my way behind me. He slams on his breaks, yet a semi truck takes at least six car length to stop. He swerved to avoid hitting me thank god. Now I only put 3/4 of a tank of gas. It's frustrating to travel long distance due to having to stop for gas more often. The scariest thing is the huge chance of it stalling completely with no power and getting hit by other vehicles behind me. The impact of getting hit could kill people due to the harsh sudden stop. Is there anyway this can be investigated and recall the part causing this? This has happened to me three times. I live in a large city so most of the roads are freeways and highway. Speed limit is 65 to 70 MPH.

Vehicle stalls after refueling. With no power steering the vehicle is difficult to maneuver. This has happened the last three fill ups. The last was the worst because it was very difficult to restart and was in traffic. Engine sounded flooded. Had to let it set a few minutes before retrying. This needs to be recalled.

After refueling the vehicle will sputter and die causing loss of steering and propulsion. This causes a grave safety problem as it usually occurs while pulling out in an intersection putting the driver and all passengers at risk. This occurs for the first few miles after fueling and does not occur again till the next fill up. I am willing to demonstrate this for a the federal safety agency inspector if the are willing to investigate this safety issue as I see several others are having the same problem. Just search google.
