| Description of the problem | Since the purchase of this used 2008 jeep patriot in 2011 it will stall and shut off after filling up the tank; then after the vehicle is restarted it functions as usual; a few times it re-stalled a second time after filling up and then was able to be restarted. Note, i did not over fill the tank. I did inquire about recalls for the 2008 jeep patriot for this issue but was informed there were none. Also no jeep dealership or other dealership could fix the issue. This is a safety issue as when this first instance this occurred, i was heading into oncoming traffic when it stalled on me and i almost got into an accident. I found on jeeppatriot. Com a forum where many purchaser's of 2008 jeep patriots report this issue with no resolve, only an entry from 1/23/15 noted their mechanic said it was an issue with the rollover valve meaning the entire tank had to be replaced. Considering the safety issue of a moving vehicle stalling out after filling up, and the issue being consistent with the 2008 jeep patriot model, i'm asking for inspection into this issue and for a recall to be issued with whatever is the issue with the fuel system/tank. This issue has continued over the duration of me having my vehicle. Now more recently my vehicle has a code for an evap leak, and when pumping the gas tank won't take the fuel. I'm taking it to a jeep dealer for diagnosis, but am not sure if its related to the aforementioned stalling out issue. |
