| Description of the problem | My jeep 2008 patriot stalls when i am driving, right after i fill the fuel tank. I didn't know what was causing the problem at first and have almost been rear ended several times! I took it to a couple of garages who couldn't find any problems. The computer doesn't show any related codes. Now i have to stop filling my tank to the top or else it will stall 5 or 6 times for the first 10 miles or so. It's a hard, sudden stall, and i lose all power steering, breaks and control of the car. It's very dangerous! I have seen multiple articles with many people having the same problem, and am surprised it hasn't been recalled considering how dangerous this is. |
