2010 Jeep Patriot engine problems

Filed Dec 27, 2022 · Engine, Fuel system · VA

Every time I fill my gas tank it takes 20 minutes to fill it just keeps shutting gas off at handle. I have checked a Jeep forum it says it is a roll over valve in gas tank and entire tank has to be replaced at a cost of around 800.00 to 1000.00 dollars. It also caused engine to run rough and shut off a lot. This is something Jeep should have to repair at their cost not consumers. It has been going on for about 6-8 months and it scare me each time it happens Thank you

Since I bought my keep in july 2020 .. Everytime I've filled my gas tank all the way .. At first my jeep would do a little jumping on regular stree as I drive towards freeway but after a little bit it would go away .. But as I continue to drive for about 15 min on freeway my jeep begins to make this whining sound and then my jeep would accelerate above 5 on its own (scary) then would go back to normal this usually was while going up a hill on freeway .. Whining cont. And accelerating may happen once more while going up the hill .. Then my transmission temp light will come on . I usually pull over to let my car rest because I'm scared to drive it after it had a mind of it's own. This has only happened after I fill my tank to the full .please fix this I'm afraid it will blow my engine while on freeway ! Three times this has happened after a full tank has been applied . So step by step I fill tank to full as I drive on street towards freeway it will jump a little but will go away by time I get on freeway once on freeway car seems fine for about 10 -15 min then I start to hear a whining sound almost as if it's stuck in a gear .. As I'm driving up a hill on freeway the whining gets worse and my rpms don't seem to go above 50 then my my engine will just accelerate on its own all the way passed 5 .. Then return to normal quickly after .. Whining noise cont. As I'm still driving about 10 min later my transmission temp light will come on . That's when I get off freeway and pull over to let my car rest for a little bit .. Once I get back on freeway after 10 min rest everything is back to normal no mor whining and temp light is gone ..

The vehicle will continuously stall and buck while idling for about one minute after filling up with fuel. This has occasionally happened on the road while the vehicle is in motion immediately after leaving the gas station. In these cases, the driver is put in a very dangerous situations, as the steering wheel locks-up when the car stalls. The car is never "topped-off" but filled until the first pump click. After about a minute, the problem will resolve and the vehicle will run fine until the next fueling. The exact cause is unknown, but the evap system or fuel tank rollover-valve is suspected as the culprit. This is an extremely dangerous problem that many other jeep patriot owners experience and needs to be dealt with.

While driving around 40 MPH on the highway the jeep slowed down and stalled. No warnings or indicator lights came on at that time. Shut jeep down and restarted waiting a few seconds before accelerating. At the time of accelerating jeep stuttered a bit and then drove from 5 MPH to 20 MPH without encouragement from gas petal. Immediately applied the break and car stalled again. Again restarted the car to move off of highway and the throttle indicator light finally came on. No indications before stalls happened that there was a problem. Had to have the full body throttle and fuel injector replaced for 1500.00/2 day repair. 2010 jeep has 86,000 miles on it. Very concerned that there was no warning, light, or change in driving before stalling with kids in the car on the highway. It could have been a deadly accident had I not been driving at 7 am with no traffic on the road.

Automatic transaxle overheating. Very dangerous to happen specially if you are in the freeway. I believe that they make this model thinking that drivers will consider not to accelerate speed in a hot climate. Car is at 75 MPH in the freeway on a hot climate of 80f.

Driving on the interstate and auto suddenly lost power although engine was still running it would just idle, even with the gas pedal all the way to the floor, turned auto off and let it set for a few minutes and when it restarted it appeared to be ok, would take gas, then on 3-19-2015 this happened 3 different times within a 150 miles on the interstate,would have to unhook the battery and reconnect it before the problem would clear up, then drive it just a bit more and it would happen again.

My 2010 patriot limited stalls all the time. It gets worse while sitting at a red light. I have to put the car in neutral, rev up the engine so it does not go dead. It seems to get worse if the gas tank is below 1/2 tank. Also I really thought someone was stealing my gas because the gauge goes up and down. All the info I have looked up it's all jeep products 2010 2011 2012 2013 all have the same problems.
