What owners wrote
My 2010 patriot limited stalls all the time. It gets worse while sitting at a red light. I have to put the car in neutral, rev up the engine so it does not go dead. It seems to get worse if the gas tank is below 1/2 tank. Also I really thought someone was stealing my gas because the gauge goes up and down. All the info I have looked up it's all jeep products 2010 2011 2012 2013 all have the same problems.
Every time I fillup my jeep I get within 1 mile of gas station it begins to stall. This happened everytime I fill up for the past 5 years. The jeep will just shutoff and the power steering stops working being that it stalled. This has almost caused me to crash many times and to get the problem fixed jeep dealership said I would have to replace the entire gas tank. Doing some research lots of people are complaining about this happening to them and being very costly to fix.
