| Description of the problem | This has happened twice now in 3 days. After fully filling my fuel tank and then driving away from the pump my jeep patriot stalls before i hit 3/10 of a mile from the gas station. Contrary to some other reports of this issue, that i have read, as well as the explanation of the issue posted on the nhtsa website, from fca, this does not happen only at idle. Rather it happens while i am driving. When my jeep stalls i also lose the ability to fully steer (can only turn the wheel appx 1/4 turn) and braking does not work as well as it normally does. When it happened today i ended up mounting a curb and sidewalk in a residential area. The street i was on was turning but i couldn't turn with it. If i had not engaged the emergency/parking brake i would have driven through a chain link fence and into a home. Once i restarted my jeep and backed off of the curb the engine stalled again while my jeep was in motion. Luckily i was barely moving and already had my hand on the emergency/parking brake. When i restarted my jeep the next time i revved the engine to 3,000rpm for appx 1 minute while my jeep was in park. My jeep did not stall after that for the rest of today. Tomorrow may be another story. I see in this form there is the ability to upload photos but i did not know about this being an existing safety issue or the ability to report it before now. As a result there are no photos of my jeep on a curb about to crash into someone's house. With the number of reports of this issue having already been made to the nhtsa i am shocked that a mandatory safety recall was not demanded. |
