| Description of the problem | For the past year or so, i have been experiencing problem posted on the jeep patriot forums under this link (http://www. Jeeppatriot. Com/forum/showthread. Php? T=271689). Happens 95% of the time where the engine will stall after filling the gas tank. It can happen while sitting still or while driving. If it stalls while driving, the power steering and power brakes go out making it very difficult to control the jeep. The obvious concern is that it could lead to a crash. I don't like the idea of just "don't fill it up all the way" - that seems like a cop out. I took it to the dealer after it happened the first time - they kept it for 2 days, driving it all around and were unable to reproduce it (this was before i stumbled across this forum and realized it only happens after a gas tank fill-up). I hope that my submission and others' lead to a recall. |
