Every so often while driving and sometimes while car is not moving the electronic throttle control light comes on and the car stalls out, sometimes when its on long time the vehicle stability control light comes on , it seems to happen more the colder it is outside ,can not seem to find the problem but seems to be a common problem with the patriot and other chrysler models not sure why chrysler hasn't done anything to resolve this issue.
Severe acceleration jerk. When accelerating between 5 and 60 miles an hour the engine and drive train jerk excessively as if the engine isn't getting fuel. Will not jerk immediately after tank fill up bu will after next time driven until filled up again.
Filling up with gas causes engine to stall. Auto garage says it's the check ball for the fuel tank allowing for overfilling of tank and than fuel getting into the vacuum system which then cause the jeep to stall within 5 mins. The last time it was in the middle of in intersection with the kids in the car and almost getting hit by a driver not playing attention while my husband pushed the jeep out of the way till it wanted to start again.

Daughter's 2009 jeep patriot 4x4 50,000 miles shuts off after filling up with fuel. Within a few minutes of fill up jeep shuts off and steering wheel locks up while driving. After letting car sit in the off position it will turn back on and may or may not repeat the same cycle depending on how long it is run before trying to proceed. Only occurs when filling tank completely; no issues when not filling the tank maximum capacity.

While pulling out and driving down a parking ramp the engine code lamp illuminated. The vehicle continue to run and I proceeded home. While entering the freeway from an onramp I noted the vehicle would not accelerate normally. The engine RPM would max at 5000 RPM and the vehicle would not gain speed. Later code retrieval noted a obd ii code of p0017. By the time I made the appointment for inspection the code reset and turned off. This same code as recurred and reset up to 6 times. The dealership would not troubleshoot the incident with the code not being present.
Vehicle stalls out while driving down the road without any warning...it has happened four times now. Sometimes it will restart but usually not and needed to be towed. After swiping it and checking codes it resets and functions normal again and the problem can not be found...but it keeps happening and I keep getting charged for a technicians time that keeps on finding nothing.
Vehicle will stall with no/little warning. Stalls generally occur during wet and/or humid weather conditions, however does also occur during dry conditions. Stalls usually occur during idling while the vehicle is in gear (stopped at intersections or in traffic), but can also occur during initial acceleration from a stop. This issue has been occurring since early 2012 and is increasing in frequency. Chrysler has a related recall (08v528000, "power train:automatic transmission:control module (TCM, PCM)"), which seems to exactly describe this failure, however chrysler claims that this specific vehicle is not included in the recall.
Our 2009 jeep patriot has stalled out over 35 times since october of 2011 after moving from california to florida. The issue of the jeep patriot stalling out always occurs at an intersection while waiting for the light turn green. The stalling out issue is more likely to occur on most, humid days. However, it has occurred on dry, humid days and on a rare occurrence, at night. The vehicle manufacture, chrysler jeep and the dealership have no answer for the problem since it has been reported, but they mechanics don't know how to "fix" or "repair" the problem of the jeep patriot stalling. It has to do with the chrysler jeep corporate offices not sending out a repair alert to dealerships and also because the problem of stalling cannot register on their computer diagnostic tests. The safety of the 2009 jeep patriot is a concern with my family since stalling out can result in an accident or a low provability of being a fatal rear end accident.
