Every single time after putting gas, my car wont go further than 10 feet without turning off/stalling. Some times it wont turn back on and takes several tries to get it back up and running. I feel at risk for my life and those in the car with me because not only does it stall but my steering wheel locks everytime and I am unable to move or do anything. God forbid one day it stops and a car is headed in my direction I will be stuck in place. I have read online multiple people have had this issue but no one can seem to find a definitive solution. This started to happen around winter of 2019/spring 2020 and has been happening ever since. The date I recorded below is the most recent time it's occurred.

When filling the fuel tank to normal full level, the vehicle will stall and run at very low ram. This only happens right after filling the tank to full and starting to accelerate at a normal rate. After doing research, this seems to be a very common issue across many jeep vehicles.

Jeep stalls after refueling. Anytime you fully fill the tank this is an issue. Was very startling the first couple of times it happened. I now expect this to happen, but for other people it could be an extreme hazard. It happens with the vehicle stationary or in motion. Subsides after second or third restart...or if you let it sit with the gas cap open for a minute or so, these seems to help.

The problem I am having is with the rollover valve which is located in the gas tank. When I put fuel in, it acts like it is full, even though the gas gauge is telling me that I have tank of gas. It will only take the gas if I put in gallon at a time. Then when I start to drive it, it wants to stall, and I have to give it the gas and then it runs. I have done research online and this is a problem in all jeeps. If I am in an accident the rollover valve could remain open instead of closing. The valve is sticking and unreliable. This valve does it every time you put gas in it.

Every time gas tank is filled the car bucks then stalls and the steering wheel locks. This happens right after filling the tank and pulling out of the gas station. I have read on forums that this has been a problem in jeeps for years but has yet to be addressed. According to the post the issue has to deal with the vapor/liquid separator valve. Additionally, I have also experienced issues with gas pumps shutting off when attempting to fill the tank. I attempted to take it to the jeep dealership where I was told I needed a new gas cap. $100 later and still the same issue.

Vehicle was randomly unable to start in stationary position in my instance. Auto shutdown box harness and fan contacts poorly protected from moisture and contacts become corroded. Relay panel appears to be located in the driver front fender between the wheel well and the headlight. Either preventing vehicle from starting or possibly causing vehicle to stall when in motion making vehicle difficult to steer or stop. Also causes multiple engine codes to become detected activating mil.

My wife was driving the jeep and it turned off on her twice trying to get it back home. All electrical went out and engine stalled. After the second time it only goes 10 MPH and still stalls and powers off. It is very dangerous and I feel something should be done from the number of complaints on the web.
