2012 Jeep Patriot Owner Comments

Last year I started having problems putting gas in my car. It kept shutting off every few seconds. At this point it also has started spitting gas out at me. I took it to my local mechanic who ran a diagnostic & said roll over valve is defective & won't allow me to fill it. He also said Jeeps are known for this issue & the only fix is a new gas tank which is beyond expensive & suggested I call Chrysler, which I did. I'm out of warranty & my vehicle was manufactured May 2012 so it wasn't included in the initial recall (M11) they had previously for this very issue (for vehicles 2011 to Jan 2012).

They refused to do it as a courtesy. I'm going through chemo for a 2nd bought of lung cancer right now & there is no way I can afford this fix that to me is essential...you can't drive a car if you can't put gas in it. The car only has 75200 miles on it & I take excellent care of it. We own a 2016 Jeep Cherokee as well but not sure I would recommend Jeep to anyone. I believe we've had 4 or 5 recalls between the 2 vehicles so far. This type of problem is not only annoying but beyond expensive to fix. Anybody else have this issue?

I was unable to fill up the gas because the gas pump kept shutting off. I took the car to the dealership and they told me that the problem was the rollover vent valve not opening so the air inside of the tank can not be released. The thing is the valve is located inside of the tank so I need to replace the whole tank to fix the problem. Their estimation is more than $1800 which I cannot afford it. My friend introduced me a repair shop owner and I took it to him. He said this is the manufacturing defect, and the cost should be on the manufacturer side. I will call Chrysler.
