| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | After doing a full refuel of the vehicle the vehicle will stall while in motion, loosing all assisted steering and breaking. The first time this happened engine stalled in mid traffic and i was almost hit by the vehicle behind me on the city. Second time i reached the highway when it stalled this was even more scary. Vehicle will restart after putting in park and stall again a couple of blocks down. This only happens when the tank is filed till gas station pump auto stops. If i fill 3/4 then no stalling occurs. I have read online that this is happening to many jeep patriot owners. Some claim that it is related to liquid fuel going into the evap canister and then being sent to the engine when fiecu expects fuel vapors. This issue can cause fatal injuries if engine stalls on the wrong place. |
