Description of the problem	About a year ago my patriot started having issues after i would refill my gas tank to where the gas pump turns off. The vehicle would hesitate and shut off 4 or 5 times as i was leaving the station. I have also had several instances where the vehicle shuts off while i am driving down the interstate at speeds over 60 mph which is very dangerous. It has also shut off multiple times while idling when i haven't filled the tank. The dealership has replaced the purge valve solenoid and alternator at my cost thinking that would fix my problem but nothing has worked. They also recommended i replace the fuel tank at my cost, but after already pouring over $1000 into the vehicle, i was hesitant to spend $1500 more. I have been avoiding the problem by only putting about 10 gallons of fuel maximum in my tank. Two weeks ago the vehicle made a loud banging noise and lights started flashing on the dash and the vehicle wouldn't go over 20 mph. Luckily i was only about a mile from another jeep dealership. This time the crank shaft sensor was bad. Another $800 fix. I told this dealership of the other problems i was experiencing with the car shutting off and they thought this may fix my problem. Then about 5 days later, upon trying to refuel my vehicle, i was unable to put more than 1 gallon of gas in the tank. The pump kept shutting off and gas started pouring back out of the tank. I researched the problem online only to find there are a lot of jeep owners experiencing the same problem. Other jeep owners have tried to replacing the evap canister, only to experience the same issue again several weeks later. Then they end up having to replace the entire fuel tank. This is a dangerous issue that needs to be resolved before someone gets hurt if they haven't already. The fuel tank issues are issues that i think jeep should be responsible for given the rate of occurrences for jeep owners.
