What owners say about the fuel/propulsion system

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“Fuel System. When I fill the gas tank completely the car will stall within a minute or two. I lose power steering, break booster. I can restart and the car will operate correctly. This has been happening for some time.”

“Cannot fill gas tank correctly. 30 seconds at a time due to gas tank roll over vale failure according to everything we have found on this issue with other owners. This is a serious problem that needs to be recalled. It cost around 800.00 to replace gas tank.. Please investigate issue and respond to [XXX]. I am doing this for my daughter she needs help with this issue it is a ongoing issue that started about 1 year ago thank you [XXX]”

“Every time I fill my gas tank it takes 20 minutes to fill it just keeps shutting gas off at handle. I have checked a Jeep forum it says it is a roll over valve in gas tank and entire tank has to be replaced at a cost of around 800.00 to 1000.00 dollars. It also caused engine to run rough and shut off a lot. This is something Jeep should have to repair at their cost not consumers. It has been going on for about 6-8 months and it scare me each time it happens Thank you”

“After filling fuel tank to full, cranking the ignition, shifting into drive, and beginning propulsion, the engine will occasionally stall. This requires me to stop, shift into park, and restart and rev the engine to prevent it from happening again, which it sometimes does. This malfunction often takes place in high-traffic areas such as intersections or onramps to the freeway.”

“Every time gas is filled to only the first click to stop or no click at all the car will stall after the fill. THE CAR STALLS EVERY TIME NOT ONCE IN AWHILE BUT EVERY TIME AFTER A FILL START IT UP THEN RUNS REAL RUFF AND STALLS AGAIN. Every time it is filled up. The car stalls while getting on the freeway or street. Dealer state it is the fuel roll over sensor built in the fuel tank. Jeep knows this is a problem they are passing the buck on to the car owners. This is a safety issue when the car stalls. I need to pull over every time this happens and it is every time. They have to fix and recall this safety issue.”
Owner complaint to NHTSAFiled Feb 23, 2022Fuel/propulsion systemODI 11453582
“Premature shutoff during fueling at gas pump (every two- to three-tenths of a gallon), causing long delays at each fill-up. Previous owners have reported diagnoses by certified mechanics of stuck rollover valves, which have been recalled in other Fiat-Chryslet products but not yet for the Jeep Patriot model.”
