Gas tank: he problem is from the fuel tank rollover valve. You can only pump $5-10 worth of gas. Keeps stopping and doesn't allow you to continuously pump fuel into the tank

I am driving a new to me patriot 2008 and am having water leaking in to interior from rear/hatch door. It's a holiday weekend, so will have to wait till monday to contact dealership where it was originally purchased.

After refueling my vehicle, shortly thereafter (within a few minutes) my 2008 Jeep patriot stalls when ideling or traveling at lower speeds. Most recently the stall happened when merging onto a main road and could have resulted in a very serious accident. This is a very common occurrence in 2008 Jeep patriots and needs to addressed sooner rather than later. Most remedies seem to be a rep lament of the fuel tank and vapor canister.

The valve inside the fuel tank broke and the Jeep can no longer be filled with gas without the gas pump believing it is already full and turning off. This results in many, many attempts to put fuel into the vehicle and gas leaking out of the fuel pump down the side of the Jeep and all over the ground. My mechanic was trying to find the issue and in his research found it to be a known problem but a non serviceable piece, meaning the entire fuel tank must be replaced. This is something that should not have failed and created an environmental hazard and a potential fire hazard as well.

2008 Jeep patriot stalls shortly after filling up the fuel tank. Bought it used, and on the first fill up, got about .5 miles before engine stalled. On my second fill up, on december 29, 2017, it stalled again after filling the fuel tank and driving in moderate traffic. Again at approximately .5 miles. This was more serious as it was in traffic and could have caused a major accident. This was more a concern for me as my family was in the vehicle as well.

Car was driving on highway approx 50 MPH and lost power and turned off. Jeep was unable to diagnose problem or provide parts. *js

Gas pump shuts off when filling up, it started last month on & off. Last 3 days have not been able to put more than 1 gallon regardless of gas pump or gas station. Checked internet and many are reporting the same problem and have been told the gas tank has to be replaced at owners expense. I had similar problems with 2005 Chrysler 300, it started the same way where I could not put gas, then it started to shutoff while driving or right after filling up, a couple times I almost got into an accident when turning at intersection and engine shutoff after leaving the gas station. The dealer replaced the gas tank for free as similar issues were reported for 2006 chryler 300s,but not 2005 model. 2) also, often after filling up, the engine light will go on usually within hours of filling up whi

Took vehicle in possible shock replacement, tire balancing and/or new tires. Was noted that the crossmember was almost rusted through and was in need of immediate replacement. When checked for service bulletins, was found that the 2007 patriots are under recall for this very issue. Considering this is a 2008 patriot, built in 2007, it should be included in the recall.

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 avoidin

ECM / PCM issues. Mechanic at pep boys told me there was a recall on this. But the dealership is telling me no, there is not.

My vehicle will sometimes not go when I press the gas. The brakes don't properly work, the 4 wheel drive lock fails, the esp light flashes, the traction control fails, and it makes it difficult to drive over 5 miles an hour. I have yet to be in an accident, but I fear it may happen. It happens immediately after starting to drive, and doesn't always correct itself. I contacted Jeep and they told me I'm on my own. It is a known issue with these vehicles and wonder why they haven't recalled them to fix the problem. I fear I'm stuck with a lemon vehicle, because the transmission has already been replaced and I've only been in possession of the vehicle for 10 months. What are my options moving forward?

I purchased the vehicle from jeff schmitt auto group in beavercreek, ohio in march 2014. I took it in for it's regularly scheduled oil change on december 22, 2014. The mechanic noticed a gaping, rusted hole in the subframe and was very concerned for my safety in driving the vehicle any further. He indicated that this amount of deterioration and rust would take well over a year to occur. I've only owned the vehicle for 9 months and my limited warranty was only good for 6 months. It was also noted that the control arms were brand new as they still had the tags attached. These were installed prior to my purchase of the vehicle. I contacted the dealership and they were very unwilling to help. I've filed a complaint with the better business bureau as well as contacted an attorney to assist me I

My car stalls frequently after filling it up with gas. The local dealer has explained to me that the fuel pump sensor is backordered and is unavailable. My car frequently stalls when pulling out of a gas station into traffic. This is a dangerous situation. The car is still under warranty, but the part is unavailable. It is my opinion that my car should be taken off the road until that part it available, but I'm not in a position to replace it with another one. *tr
