12/12/19 tried to get on I-295 all lights on dash came on including malfunction indicator, esp bas, and others all came on when no lights were on before. Lost power to jeep on 295 could not go any fast then 25 MPH and then stalled; almost rear ended. Could restart jeep, all dash lights still on, no power past 25 MPH and made it off an off ramp where stalled again. Towed jeep to mechanic where they replaced PCM, intake manifold, and o2 censor. Called jeep because there is a recall to PCM and was told my VIN not included. 12/26/2019 on I-295 going 70mph and jeep lost all power with no warning lights this time and had no acceleration. Was in the far left lane and had near miss of being rear ended by tractor trailer. Veered jeep to breakdown lane and towed to mechanic. Second mechanic repaired ground at g104 on right side of engine bay said is reason for several computerised controls. 1/7/2020 put full tank of gas in vehicle and pulled into intersection and jeep bucked and stalled out. Called mechanic said possible fuel sensor problem. Jeep patriots have had issues with PCM and fuel problems but am told my 2009 jeep not a part of this recall. Jeep is still not running properly and will not drive on highway. Very dangerous and very expansive.

On 4/7/2016 my jeep patriot completely stalled after filling it with gas. After waiting an hour, the car started up again. I read on the jeep forums this is a common problem with jeep's fuel tank, however chrysler is unwilling to admit it and recall the part. This is a safety issue and not I'm scared to drive my car after getting gas for fear of losing power. I have a one year old son and fear for his life as well as mine.. Please investigate and add me to the list of victims. Thanks.
