2008 JEEP LIBERTY Fuel/propulsion System Problems

We had a fire in the engine compartment. Fire started at the engine manifold ! We took pictures of the damage! This could have killed my son in law ! We gifted the vehicle to him so it could be used as a station vehicle. A dangerous situation Exist ! There is no recall or acknowledgment of this problem being identified!

Gas burps out every time you fill the tank!

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK TO FULL CAPACITY AND FUEL FLOW IS SHUT OFF, FUEL COMES BACK UP OUT OF FILL PORT SPILLING AT LEAST 2 CUPS OF GAS OVER FILLER AND GROUND. HAPPENS EVERY TIME TANK IS FILLED FULL. THIS OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY ENGINE OFF WHILE AT ANY GAS STATION. IT IS AN APPARENT FAILURE ON A VALVE IN THE GAS TANK REQUIRING ENTIRE TANK TO BE REPLACED AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO MANUFACTURER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE FROM A PARKED POSITION, THE VEHICLE CALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACTED STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND THE FUSE PANEL WAS REPLACED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO MANUFACTURER COMMUNICATION NUMBER: 10136536 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

EVERY TIME WE REFILL THE GAS IT COME OUT LIKE THE CAR IS BURPING..MAKING IMPOSIBLE TO NO DROP GAS IT GOING DOWN OVER THE MUFLE..HAPPENED PARKING ENGING OFFIN ANY GAS STATION MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IS A SMALL VALVE E IN THE NECK OF THE TANK BUT THE TANK IS PLASTIC SO ILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE TANK..WHOLE SET SOMETHING ABOUT A VALVE

Mileage: 150,564

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. IT CONTINUES TO CRANK UNTIL IGNITION IS SWITCHED OFF. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE. TYPICALLY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS THE VEHICLE WILL START UP CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS IN THE COLD AND IN THE HEAT, AFTER RUNNING FINE ALL DAY OR SITTING TURNED OFF OVER NIGHT.

SKID PLATE AND STRAPS ON FUEL TANK IS RUSTING ALL APART. IT HAS RUSTED ENOUGH THERE IS HOLE YOU CAN PUT YOUR FIGURE IN AND ACTUALLY TOUCH PLASTIC TANK. THE REST OF SKID PLATE IS RUSTED SO MUCH YOU CAN SEE THE LAYERS OF THE METAL SEPARATING. VEHICLE ONLY HAD AROUND 62,000 MILES WHEN IT WAS FIST FOUND AND IT AT THIS POINT OF RUSTING. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD AND WAS TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OFF INCLUDING PROMPT REMOVAL OF ANY ROAD SALT. LAST 3 1/2 YEARS HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN VERY RARELY WHEN IT HAS SNOWED MORE THEN AN INCH UNTIL ROADS WERE COMPLETELY CLEAR. AS OF 3/14/2019 WHEN IT WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED OUT THERE WERE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE AND THERE WAS NO IDEA WHEN THERE WOULD BE PER THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY CALLED TO CHECK ON PARTS. ESTIMATED COST FOR REPAIRS PER DEALERSHIP WILL BE ALMOST $1000.00. PER DEALERSHIP THE RUSTED SKID PLATE AND STRAPS LIVES GAS TANK VULNERABLE IN A CRASH OR TO OBJECT INTRUSION. ALSO IF STRAPS RUST ENOUGH COULD CASE GAS TANK TO DROP. PERSONALLY I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL PROBLEM SINCE IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE EASILY FOUND AND COULD CAUSE DEATH OR INJURY. IT HAD NOT BEEN FOUND DURING ROUTE MAINTAINED AND I ONLY FOUND IT BY ACCIDENT WHEN IT WAS UP ON A RACK AND MECHANIC WAS SHOWING ME SOMETHING ELSE. MORE THAN LIKELY THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF SAME MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLES ON ROAD WITH THIS SAME ISSUES THAT OWNERS ARE UNAWARE OF. JEEP DID A RECALL ON 2005 LIBERTY BEFORE DUE TO VULNERABILITY OF GAS TANK CONCERNING THE HITCH. AND SHOULD DO THE SAME WITH THIS AS IT LEAVES THE GAS TANK VULNERABLE AND SHOULD NEVER BE OCCURRING. IT IS STRICTLY A CASE OF USING INFERIOR MATERIAL ON A VULNERABLE PART.

Mileage: 62,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL PUMP SENSOR DID NOT ALERT HER THAT THE TANK WAS FULL. AS A RESULT, FUEL SPEWED OUT OF THE TANK. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES AT DIFFERENT FUEL STATIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE COULD NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE FUEL WOULD FLOW OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL STATION PUMP SENSORS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

FUEL SPIT BACK AFTER PUTTING GAS IN FUEL TANK. IT DOESN'T MATTER HAS FAST OR SLOW GAS IS PUMP, GAS SPILLS OUT AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE. LARGE QUANTITIES OF GAS SPRAY OUT OF FILLER NECK ON PERSON, VEHICLE AND GROUND.

WHEN FUELING THE GAS SPITS BACK ONTO THE CAR AND ATTENDANT ON FILL-UPS SINCE I LIVE IN NJ WE DON'T PUMP ARE OWN GAS SO MY ATTENTION WAS ON THE ATTENDANT. THE ATTENDANT EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS HAPPENS TO A LOT OF THE JEEP PRODUCTS AND AFTER RESEARCHING IT DOES SEEM LIKE A CHRONIC PROBLEM THAT SOMEHOW DOESN'T MEET THE SAFETY LEVEL FOR THE NHTSB TO ISSUE THE PROPER RECALL? I'M DUMBFOUNDED

SEVERAL YEARS AGO THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY FUEL TANK FOR GAS OVER SPILLING WHILE FUELING THE CAR. THAT WAS REPLACED BUT NOW I CAN'T FILL MY TANK COMPLETELY BECAUSE WHEN I DO THE INSIDE OF MY CAR SMELLS OF GAS FUMES FROM THE TANK UP TO THE FRONT SEAT. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR STALING AT A STOP OR THE IGNITION HAVING TROUBLE CATCHING WHEN I CRANK THE CAR.

WHEN FILLING THIS VEHICLE WITH GAS, GAS WITH SPEW OUT ALL OVER THE CAR AND THE PERSON HOLDING THE NOZZLE THAT IS STILL IN THE GAS TANK. NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION USED/PUMP AND NO MATTER HOW SLOW OR FAST IT IS GOING. I DO NOT " TOP OFF". THE SPILLAGE CAN BE BETWEEN A CUP TO A HALF GALLON FOR NO REASON IN PARTICULAR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED.I HAVE TO GUESS EACH TIME HOW MUCH TO PUT IN SO I CAN LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLAGE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS WITH NO RESOLUTION.

Mileage: 97,000

THE FUEL TANK SUPPORT RUSTS OUT FROM THE INSIDE TO A POINT THAT IT SEEMS VERY UNLIKELY IT WOULD BE STRUCTURALLY SOUND IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. IT IS VERY CONCERNING THAT THIS WOULD NOT PUNCTURE THE TANK AND BE A CAUSE OF FIRE INSTEAD OF PROTECTING THE TANK AS IT IS MARKETED TO DO. THERE HAS BEEN NO INCIDENT YET, BUT AFTER AN ACCIDENT WOULD NOT BE THE TIME TO FIND OUT. CHRYSLER HAS REVIEWED THIS AND WILL NOT TAKE ACTION.

AMONGST OTHER ISSUES: VEHICLE FAILS TO START OCCASIONALLY, FROM BOTH COLD AND WARM STATES. FROM COMPLETELY OFF, TURNING THE KEY BEGINS IGNITION BUT OFTEN DOES NOT START THE VEHICLE. ENGINE SPUTTERS BUT DOES NOT COMPLETE THE START. ON SOME OCCASIONS, DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WHILE TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE WORKS, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS ONE OF THE WIDELY REPORTED TIPM ISSUES PLAGUING JEEPS FROM 2007-2014. I CONCLUDE THE FUEL PUMP FAILS TO RECEIVE A SIGNAL TO START FROM THE TIPM WHICH CAUSES THE IGNITION FAILURE. IN ADDITION, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES INCLUDING DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHEN THE OPPOSITE CORRESPONDING BUTTONS ARE PRESSED, WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNING ON WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS USED, WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD REPORTING NON-ISSUES, FAILURE OF POWER STEERING, AND FAILURE TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I OWN A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY AND EVERY TIME I FILL IT THE FUEL COMES BA K AT ME NOT JUST A LITTLE EITHER IT GEISERS OUT OF THE TANK AND HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE TO STAND UP WIND NOT TO BE SHOWERED IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE DOORS WOULD RANDOMLY LOCK AND UNLOCK, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHER FLUID WOULD ERRONEOUSLY ACTIVATE, AND THE HORN AND ALARM WOULD RANDOMLY SOUND. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS FAULTY. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES.

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS THERE IS A "BURP" THAT PUSHES GAS OUT OF THE PIPE TO THE TANK. IT'S LIKE THE TANK ISN'T VENTING, AND BUILDING PRESSURE WHEN FILLING. THIS HAPPENS ON EVEY FILL-UP. I THOUGHT THE SERVICE STATION SHUT OFF WERE THE PROBLEM, BUT AFTER BEING ON A WEB SITE, THERE ARE ALOT MORE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. UPON RE-FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED EXCESSIVE FUEL LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,100.

WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, THERE IS ALWAYS A MODERATE AMOUNT OF GAS THAT COMES OUT AND GOES DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT STATIONS WITH ALL OCTANE LEVELS OF GAS. IT EJECTS ABOUT .1-.2 GALLONS OF GAS FROM THE FUEL ENTRANCE. THIS OCCURS RIGHT BEFORE THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF CLOSES ON THE FUEL PUMP. *TR

Mileage: 112,200

I HAVE 2 PROBLEMS NUMBER1 IS THE GAS MILEAGE IT GETS THE MILEAGE IT SAYS ON THE INTERNET BUT I FEEL THAT IS BAD FUEL MILEAGE I HAD A 2000 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WITH A V8 AND GOT 25 MILES PER GALLON ON THE HIGH WAY YOU WOULD THINK THAT A V6 WOULD JUST AS GOOD OR BETTER BUT IT IS NOT .SECOND PROBLEM IS FUEL SPILLAGE EVRYTIME YOU FILL UP I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT THINGS TO TRY AND STOP THE SPILLAGE BUT TO NO AVAIL. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO RECALLS FOR A 2008 JEEP THEY HAD RECALLS ON SOME OLDER JEEPS BUT NOT MINE IT WOULD BE NICE TO SEE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE PUMPING GAS, THE PUMPED CLICKED (STOPPED) AND GAS SPEWED OUT THE TANK ON VEHICLE, MY HANDS, PANTS AND SHOES. THIS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. TODAY, 1-31-2015, GASCAP, INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I TIGHTEN CAP HOWEVER, INDICATOR LIGHT STILL ON. PURCHASED A NEW GAS CAP BUT THE NEW CAP DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *TR

WHEN PUMPING GAS, THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AS EXPECTED HOWEVER GASOLINE SPEWS OUT OF THE JEEP'S FILLING SYSTEM. TRIED DIFFERENT PUMPS SAME RESULTS, THIS OCCURS WITHOUT "TOPPING OFF THE TANK". THIS I A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WITH GAS SPRAYING ON MY FACE,CLOTHING AND OVERFLOWING ON MY SHOES, HANDS, VEHICLE AND GROUND. I HAVE BEEN YELLED AT BY GAS STATION CLERKS BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED. EACH OF THE TWO TIMES WE HAVE FILLED UP THE TANK WITH GAS THE TANK HAS OVERFLOWED SPILLING AN ESTIMATED PINT OF GAS OUT OF THE TANK AND DOWN THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. EACH TIME GAS HAS SPILLED ONTO THE DRIVER AS WELL. RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT APPEARS THAT REPLACING THE GAS TANK RESOLVES THIS ISSUE. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. REF. SERVICE BULLETIN NO.: SB-14-003-13, NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10052148. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER:13V252000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE AND STRUCTURE) BUT WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE NOTICE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE RECALL REPAIR WOULD BE PERFORMED. THERE ARE NO FAILURES AT THIS TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

2008 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4 PURCHASED USED WITH 18,000 MILES. WHEN RE-FUELING THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY AND GAS WILL BURP OUT EVERY TIME. SOMETIMES IT IS A LOT OF GAS AND VERY DANGEROUS. I'VE SEEN THIS ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. WHY ISN'T SOMETHING BEING DONE ABOUT THIS? *TR

Mileage: 18,000

EVERY SINGLE TIME I GO TO FILL UP THE VEHICLE, IT SPEWS GAS ALL OVER THE PLACE (THE VEHICLE, ME, GROUND) IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU FILL IT UP, IT GOES ALL OVER EVERYTHING. ITS DANGEROUS AND VERY IRRITATING! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ADD FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE SPILLED OUT OF THE FUEL TANK.

WHEN FILLING THE JEEP UP WITH GAS, NO MATTER IF THE PUMP HANDLE IS LOCKED OR I'M MANUALLY PUMPING, AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS I HAVE EXPERIENCED OVERFLOW. IT RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AT DIFFERENT STATIONS. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS, BECAUSE THIS COULD BE A FIRE HAZARD, AND IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON LINE, BUT WHEN I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NOT COME ACROSS THIS PROBLEM. . I TRY TO PUMP AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE WHEN I KNOW IT IS NEAR FULL, BUT STILL GET GAS COMING OUT EVERY TIME THAT I LET IT GO UNTIL THE PUMP STOPS. I AM NOT FILLING PAST THE FIRST PUMP SHUT OFF. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE FIXING. *TR

Mileage: 91,000

APPROXIMATELY 1 IN 3 TIMES I FILL THE GAS TANK THE AUTO SHUTOFF FAILS AND SPEWS GAS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND (APPROX 2 CUPS). I WAS TOLD BY JEEP THAT THE GAS TANK MUST BE REPLACED DUE TO THE FAILURE OF AN INTERNAL SENSOR AT A COST OF $600. AFTER A BRIEF ON-LINE INVESTIGATION I NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED BY AT LEAST SCORES OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS. THIS IS MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE DUE TO DISCHARGE OF A FLAMMABLE LIQUID. IN MY 40 PLUS YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND THEREFORE BELIEVE IT TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT ISSUE. THIS OCCURS AT VARIED GAS STATIONS AND THEREFORE IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH FAULTY EQUIPMENT AT THE STATIONS. *TR

Mileage: 67,000

WHILE FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY AFTER THE GAS SHUTS OFF AT THE PUMP THERE IS GAS OVER FLOW FROM THE TANK ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND THE GROUND BELOW. I DO NOT OVER FILL MY GAS TANK AND I EVEN TRY TO STOP BEFORE THE TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL, YET THERE IS GAS THAT FLOWS BACK OUT OF THE TANK AFTER FILLING UP MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A CONTINUAL ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I FILL IT UP AND I FILL UP AT LEAST 2 TIMES A WEEK DUE TO THE LONG COMMUTE THAT I HAVE. I FIND THAT THIS IS A HAZARD BECAUSE I PUT MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE USING THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND THE GASOLINE THAT HAS SPILLED IS USUALLY STILL PRESENT NO MATTER HOW CAREFULLY I TRY TO CLEAN IT UP AND OFF OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO THERE IS ALWAYS GASOLINE ON THE GROUND AT THE PUMP AFTER I AM DONE PUMPING GAS WHICH CANNOT BE GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT OR THE NEXT PERSON WHO HAS TO GET GAS AFTER ME. *TR

Mileage: 76,700

WHEN FILLING THE JEEP UP WITH GAS, NO MATTER IF THE PUMP HANDLE IS LOCKED OR I'M MANUALLY PUMPING, IT WILL SPEW GAS OUT ALL OVER. THIS GETS ON ME, ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND ASKED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THE LADY IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOKED MY VIN UP AND SAID NO, THERE WAS NO KNOWN PROBLEM. SHE SAID I COULD BRING THE JEEP IN AND LET THEM LOOK AT IT. OF COURSE, THIS WILL COST ME $85 FOR A DIAGNOSTICS TEST. THIS GAS SPEWING ALL OVER HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND AT DIFFERENT STATIONS. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THERE IS NOT A KNOWN PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FIND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE THEY WAKE UP SOON. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2008 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT 4X4. FOR THE FIRST COUPLE MONTHS, I HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. RECENTLY, EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, NO MATTER WHICH STATION OR BRAND OF GASOLINE, THE FUEL TANK OVERFILLS AND SPITS GAS OUT. THE PUMP WILL CLICK OFF, BUT IT IS CLICKING OFF TOO LATE AND GAS IS SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ONTO ME, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A MAJOR HEALTH ISSUE TO HAVE GASOLINE ON MY SKIN, CLOTHES, AND TO BE BREATHING IN THE TOXIC FUMES. ADDITIONALLY, THIS IS A MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, AS GAS IS SPILLING OUT ONTO THE GROUND. FINALLY, THIS COULD QUICKLY BECOME VERY DANGEROUS. IT ALSO APPEARS, BASED ON SOME BASIC INTERNET RESEARCH, THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY THESE JEEP LIBERTY MODELS. I'M A BIT PERPLEXED WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED ON THIS. *TR

Mileage: 97,000

WHEN FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS, THE GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN REMOVING THE NOZZLE, SPRAYING ALL OVER THE CAR, MYSELF AND THE GROUND. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP AT THE GAS STATION BUT IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A PROBLEM WITH THE VALVE IN THE TANK, WHICH CANNOT BE FIXED UNLESS YOU REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK AT THE COST OF $800. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE SAME ISSUE, IT HAS BECOME MORE OF A PROBLEM. I HAVE TO FILL THE GAS TANK EXTREMELY SLOWLY OR THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF SOME TIMES GAS COME OUT. I CAN NOT FILL THE TANK UP COMPLETELY OR QUITE A LOT OF GAS WILL GUSH OUT ON THE GROUND OR ON ME IF I AM STANDING IN FRONT OF THE FILL PIPE. I NOTICE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY WRANGLER SAME YEAR AS MY LIBERTY AND THE WRANGLER WAS RECALLED. I DO NOT UNDER STAND WHY THE LIBERTY WOULD NOT BE RECALLED. THIS COULD BECOME A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I CHECKED TO SEE IF IT WAS EVEN BEING INVESTIGATED AND IT IS NOT! WHY? *TR

JEEP LIBERTY SPURTS FUEL WHEN FILLING UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. AUTO SHUTOFF ON FUEL PUMP/NOZZLE SHUTS OFF THEN A LARGE QUANTITY OF FUEL SPURTS OUT OF TANK ALL OVER SIDE OF CAR AND GROUND. THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND HUMAN SAFETY HAZARD. NOW WHEN FILLING UP, I STEP AWAY FROM THE CAR AND LET THE SPURTING FINISH. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I DON'T SET PUMP/NOZZLE TO AUTO SHUT OFF, BUT WHEN I DO THAT, I GET FUEL ALL OVER MY HANDS. *TR

Mileage: 26,000

THE PROBLEM OCCURS ON A REPLACEMENT GAS TANK. IT DID NOT HAPPEN WITH THE ORIGINAL TANK. WHEN THE TANK IS FILLED, THE CLICK OF THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF CAN BE HEARD, YET GASOLINE SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER PIPE, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR, AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED A FEW TIMES WHILE THE REPLACEMENT TANK WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I BLAMED THE GAS STATIONS UNTIL I WAS INFORMED BY ONE OF THE ATTENDANTS CLEANING UP THE TOXIC SPILL THAT IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH JEEPS. WHEN I TALKED TO MY LOCAL JEEP SERVICE ON THE PHONE, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST OF REPLACING THE TANK WOULD BE OVER $800 SINCE THE CURRENT TANK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE IN THE LAST YEAR, AND I CAN NO LONGER FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY WITHOUT THE GAS SPEWING ONTO THE GROUND. SLOWING THE RATE OF FILLING DOES NOT PREVENT THE PROBLEM. REPEATED STOPPING AND STARTING THE FILLING PROCESS DOES NOT PREVENT THE PROBLEM. THE ONLY THING THAT CAN BE DONE TO AVOID THE PROBLEM IS NOT FILLING THE TANK ALL OF THE WAY. VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM OCCURRING CAN BE PROVIDED UPON REQUEST. *TR

Mileage: 26,000

WHEN FUELING, GASOLINE SPITS BACK JUST AFTER PUMP AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF. EACH TIME APPROXIMATION ONE CUP OF GAS IS SPILLED ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND GROUND. IN ADDITION TO WASTING MONEY, THIS IS BOTH A FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THIS OCCURS ALMOST EVERYTIME THE TANK IS FILLED UP WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 65F. *TR

WHILE RE-FUELING AT A GAS STATION, ONCE THE GAS PUMP STOPPED, FUEL EXPLODED OUT OF THE JEEP LIBERTY'S FUEL TANK DRENCHING MY LEGS AND THE JEEP WITH GASOLINE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!
