| Description of the problem | I bought my 2007 jeep patriot on 1/24/2015 i was so excited. I started having problems around 5 months with the gas tank. I bought a new gas cap and yes jeep brand and still the same problem. I have been reading other owners issue and they are identical to mine. The car stalls and shut off in the middle of traffic, at a stop light or just whenever. I was reading some complaints and they were saying the charcoal canister is the problem. The complaint also said you can not replace the charcoal canister, because it was build into the fuel tank, so you have to replace the whole fuel tank. The cost for a new fuel tank is around $1,250. 00 ☹️ very sad about the cost. My boyfriend gave me his car to drive because he said it's to danger for me to be driving my car, but he drives it now and i'm worried he might get hurt. I do think this should be a recall item before someone gets badly hurt or die. |
