Description of the problem	I'm experiencing what i've found to be a well-documented issue with a vapor-liquid separator valve located in the gas tank of my 2007 jeep patriot. After fueling, moments after starting the car and putting it into drive, the car will stall and shut off. It will immediately re-start and run again but is pretty much guaranteed to shut off at every stop (i. E. At an intersection or while exiting the gas station) for the next few minutes. It also leads to hesitations of the engine while driving at full speed. This has happened to me the last four times i've filled my gas tank. On the most recent occasion, the engine stalled while in an intersection, as i started to make a left-hand turn. The engine shut off, the steering wheel locked up, and i had to throw it into park and restart the car while stalled in a lane of oncoming traffic. I'm very fortunate the oncoming vehicle was paying close attention and stopped to allow me to exit the intersection. This issue only occurs after filling the gas tank, when the vapor canister component that the valve is supposed to protect becomes flooded with liquid fuel during the fill. When this component purges its contents, the intake manifold is flooded with liquid fuel, rather than vapor, causing the stall. After driving several miles (presumably when all of the liquid fuel has been purged from the vapor canister), no more problems are seen until the tank is refilled. Some investigation has shown that i'm far from the only person to experience this dangerous defect. The faulty valve is located inside the gas tank, and the issue can only be resolved with a prohibitively-expensive replacement of the entire tank. This is absolutely a documented flaw inherent in several vehicle models in the chrysler family, and it needs to be addressed before anyone is killed as a result.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
