| Description of the problem | My jeep patriot, after refueling, the engine cuts out. This happens every time i get gas in my vehicle. Sometimes it stalls in the middle of an intersection, which can be quite dangerous. When it does this, the vehicle needs to be turned off and then on again, it will go a few yards and then stall again. I have contacted chrysler and the refuse to acknowledge a problem. I know a few other jeep patriot owners have complained about the same thing. My local jeep dealer told me to just not fill my gas tank over halfway. How is this a fix? I thought i was out of luck until i saw this article ( http://www. Autoblog. Com/2014/09/10/dodge-grand-caravan-chrysler-town-and-country-stalling-nhtsa/ ). This article seems to mirror the same problem i have been experiencing with my jeep, which is made by chrysler, as well. |
