After filling gas tank with fuel, after 30ish seconds the engine will stall and sometimes recover, sometimes quit. This happens regardless of whether I am stopped at a light/sign or driving. I have read numerous reports of others having this same issue. Seems that the charcoal canister is filling with gas. Please help make this a known issue for other drivers! This has happened over the last 3 or 4 months with my vehicle.

After filling the gas tank the engine will stall. It happens with engine idleing or after enterring traffic. Very very very very.......dangerous, jeep needs to fix this issue. Tons of jeep owners are having this problem. Jeep don't wait until your product has kill a bunch of people including me and my family.
After refueling vehicle to full tank capacity, the vehicle stalls and steering wheel locks in an intersection within a few blocks from the gas station. For 2 years, this vehicle has been stalling after every gas refueling. It has now started to lock the steering wheel concurrent with the stalling. My wife, who was driving the vehicle at the time of the 8/18/15 incident felt she was in danger as cars tried to avoid the vehicle as well as almost hitting another vehicle because of the locked steering wheel.

05/02/2014 backed out of parking spot to pick up son from school. Vehicle stalled 3 times in parking lot before having to push it into a different parking space. Towed to dealership. Received call test codes for steering angle sensor not initialized. Dealership not able to show error/code to the warranty company,- warranty company would not ok work. This "code" has never been duplicated again. 5/28/2014 car stalled while driving 15 MPH and would not restart. Tried to get codes but no power to the engine. Vehicle towed back to dealership on 5/29. 6/4/2014 received call from dealership to ok replacing battery due to it dying. 6/5/2014 called chrysler & they opened a case. 6/11/2014 dealership called telling us that we needed to pick up vehicle and that they could not find any problems and would not spend any more time with it. 6/12/2014 husband spoke with chrysler/jeep and he was told that they were going to look further into the issue. 6/23/2014 husband received a call from chrysler about getting more internal resources involved and we would hear back in a few days. 6/26/2014 received call from chrysler/jeep. They sent a chrysler rep and tech to the dealership - they were able to start car 20-30 times with no issue, could not replicate any problems. Chrysler rep recommendation to dealership charge us storage fees if we did not pick up the vehicle by 6/30/2014 also told that they could not do anything for me since my vehicle was older and did not have a warranty through them. 6/27/2014 picked up vehicle. 7/04/2014 car died in middle of road, after about 15-20 minutes husband able to restart vehicle. 9/15/2014 the car has been parked ever since 7/4/2014 too afraid to drive it due to stalling issues and an unwilling to pay for another "diagnostic test" or tow to be told that they can not find the issue. Continue paying for a vehicle I can drive safely.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep patriot. After the contact refueled the vehicle, it stalled. The failure occurred on another occasion while the vehicle was idling at a stop light. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,000.
The car stalled out since the first day I bought it (jan. 1, 2008). It is now august 2014 and I still have this problem, except now it's a much more dangerous and bigger problem. If I go slow or stop to turn in the middle of an intersection, it stalls out. I almost got hit/killed today. The terrible part about it is that I've been complaining about this from day 1. Every time I take it to the dealership, they can never find the problem. I just tried calling chrysler and they are telling me I've only taken it in once for this issue, which is not true at all.. Even if it was just once, they still didn't know what was causing the problem so they "could not fix it."
