Description of the problem	My 2008 jeep patriot hesitates, sputters, and stalls a few minute after i fill it up. If i don't fill it all the way, it does not stall (and i never top-off when filling). I have started the practice of only filling 3/4 or pulling over in the gas station to let the car stall at idle before proceeding. When i first noticed the issue a few months ago, it stalled on me in traffic after leaving the fueling station. This was very dangerous. My mechanic at the dealer told me today he believes there is a bad liquid/vapor valve on the gas tank causing gas to enter an exhaust line leading to the carbon canister, and that a full gas tank replacement is needed to replace this bad valve. He also offered, that i could just continue to only fill the tank 3/4 and should be fine. At $2,000 to replaced the tank, i may need to consider having this work done by a non-chrysler shop? I found this discussion online today, and everyone is having the exact same problem as me (with some having detailed accounts of making claims with the nhtsa). Please take five minutes to review. This seems like a huge safety issue, and i'm not the only one having it! Https://www. Cargurus. Com/cars/discussion-t29898_ds631498 i'm not sure what conditions are needed to justify a recall, but i'd encourage you all to get out in front of this one. The '07 and '08 patriots seem to be systemically having this issue and a recall may be needed to save lives (just imagine all these cars stalling in traffic)? I believe i have take great care of my jeep, but never anticipated this issue, and there is no indication from a check engine light that this problem is being monitored by the system. I think i also observed the steering wheel lock when this occurred, or at least became very difficult to operate. My jeep has a manual transmission.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
