| Description of the problem | Our jeep patriot this past year had been stalling after getting gas. This happens now after every time we get gas. It doesn't matter how much 1/4, 1/2, or full tank. What makes this a serious safety issue, is that is stalls at any time, parked or driving at highway speeds. With no check engine light as a warning, my daughter put gas in approximately a month ago and after an hour driving, it stalled on a busy street traveling at 55 mph, which interrupted the steering as it decelerated on a highway. After towing to a local firestone auto center we were informed that there were too many diagnostic codes firing off to diagnose the problem. Since then my husband gassed up the patriot and it stalled at a busy intersection just pulling out of the station. He managed to drive on back roads avoiding traffic where it had repeatedly stalled. He then ran the patriot for an hour in my driveway where it stalled another 10 times in an hour. He continued to run the patriot another hour till the stalling stopped. I am not looking forward to getting gas again, however i have to go through this procedure to prevent a family member from getting involved in a fatal accident. |
