| Description of the problem | Rollover valve - every time i filled the gas tank, there was significant jerking and occasional stalling. This didn't happen if i only filled partially. Within a mile there would be jerking, and stalling has happened while idling and while driving. Not only is that a huge safety concern, but in a vehicle rollover the valve prevents gas from spilling out and starting possible fires. Luckily i was only on local streets and not a highway when i stalled, but i have read other forums where people's patriots stalled at higher speeds. The jeep dealership and other mechanics seem to know this is a common flaw with jeeps and chryslers built in the past 5-8 years. The only solution to replace the valve is to replace the entire fuel tank, which is extremely costly. This should definitely be recalled due to safety, but chrysler seems to know about this issue and has done nothing. |
