Engine stalls several minutes after filling up the gas tank. Occurs on every fill up with gas. The stalling stops after being driving a mile to more.
The rear undercarriage is rusted through and mount by rear differential mount has broken off causing shaking, vibrating and possible differential leakage.
Filled gasoline up and had car idle while driving. Had to place car in park, turn ignition off and back on to get it to turn back on. This happened two times and happens everytime I fill up gas in car. Other Patriots have reported same issue and I have been very close to accidents due to this.
The jeep commonly chokes and dies right after a fill-up. After 30 seconds to a minute, the problem disappears. This has been happening for at least 10 years. Online data search appears to indicate that this is a common problem with jeeps. Having your car die in traffic creates a dangerous situation.
