TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND EMERGING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE HEAT SHIELD BECAME DETACHED AND WAS ON THE DRIVETRAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (PORT JEFF CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, 5130 NESCONSET HWY, PORT JEFFERSON STATION, NY 11776) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 188,112.

FUEL SYSTEM, AFTER FILLING TANK WITH GAS VEHICLE STALLS AFTER DRIVING AWAY FROM PUMP. VEHICLE STALLS IN TRAFFIC, AT LIGHT AND IN INTERSECTIONS AFTER FILLING UP. MY INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN MANY ONE TIME WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC FROM GAS STATION, AT A RED LIGHT AND HAS STALLED RIGHT IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC. UNKNOWN THE PROBLEM BUT VEHICLE IS HESITANT TO RESTART AFTER THE SHUT DOWN FOR APPROXINATELY 1 MINUTE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED, THE FUEL SPILLED TO THE GROUND INSTEAD WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 164,000. UPDATED 06/10/16*LJ

Mileage: 164,000

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS AT FILL UP. ALWAYS AT COSTCO AND MANY OTHER STATIONS. ATTENDANTS HAVE ATTEMPTED TO PUMP FOR ME AND HAD SAME RESULTS STATING THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR JEEPS. *TR

Mileage: 105,000

WHENEVER I FILL THE GAS TANK THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, BUT GAS SURGES UP THE SPOUT AND DUMPS ON THE GROUND. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TYPE OF GAS (PREMIUM OR REGULAR, OR ETHANOL OR NO ETHANOL) OR THE SETTING ON THE PUMP HANDLE (FAST OR SLOW). THIS IS A FIRE, EXPLOSION RISK AS WELL AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. I REALLY DON'T EXPECT YOU TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL AFTER PEOPLE ARE HURT OR KILLED, BUT WHEN THAT HAPPENS I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY "YOU KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, AND DIDN'T CARE". *TR

Mileage: 45,000

WHEN THE TANK IS ALMOST FULL THE GAS WILL COME SPEWING OUT AND GO ALL OVER THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME THE NOZZLE DOES NOT SHUT OFF IT NOT THE STATION I FILL AT VARIOUS STATIONS. *TR

Mileage: 60,000

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND GAS CAP LIGHT ALSO COME ON THE AUTO START WILL NOT WORK & DASH LIGHT GETS REAL DIME ALSO GPS LIGHT GET REAL DIME/ AND THERE IS A REAL STRONG SMELL OF GAS THAT COMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO 4 DIFFERENCE CHRYSLER DEALER SHIP AND COMPUTER HAS BEEN REPLACED SENSOR HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED GAS TANK REPLACED GAS CAP REPLACED .THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN FOR THESE PROBLEM 11 TIMES AND HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE 6 DIFFERENT TIMES ALL WE GET IS THE RUN AROUND . THE DEALER SHIPS DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HAVE PUT 1,500 MILE ON THE VEHICLE DRIVING IT. NEED SOME KNOW TO WHY THIS CAN NOT BE FIXED. *TR

Mileage: 58,000

EVERY TIME I FUEL UP, IF I LEAVE IT FILLING UP AUTOMATICALLY, GAS SPEWS OUT WHEN IT GETS TO FULL AND GOES EVERYWHERE. EVEN IF I AM TRYING TO WATCH THE GALLONS AND STOP BEFORE IT GETS TO FULL, IT STILL SPEWS EVERYWHERE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS SPECIFIC TO MY VEHICLE, BUT I'VE NOW SEEN HUNDREDS OF REPORTS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THE VERY SAME ISSUES WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF JEEP, PLUS MANY OTHER YEARS AND MODELS. *TR

Mileage: 20,000

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 TIME I FILL UP MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY JUST AS THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF ENGAGES THE GAS COMES OUT OF THE FILL PIPE AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE I FILL UP THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS. I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT I SEE THERE ARE OTHERS. IN MY OPINION I FEEL THAT JEEP SHOULD CHECK THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT COST TO THE OWNERS AS A GESTURE OF GOOD PUBLIC RELATIONS. MY JEEP WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2012 AS A PRE-OWNED VEHICLE FROM A JEEP DEALERSHIP. *TR

Mileage: 57,902

WHEN I PUMP GAS THE SYSTEM DOES NOT STOP, THE GAS CONTINUES TO PUMP ONCE THE TANK IS FULL. GAS RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY MYSELF THIS NEEDS BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

Mileage: 87,000

EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, THE GAS SPEWS FROM THE FILLER NECK WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY OR IF I SHUT IT OFF MANUALLY TO TRY TO PREVENT IT FROM SPEWING OUT. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION I FILL UP AT, WHETHER IT'S NEAR HOME OR OUT OF TOWN. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY, MANY MAKES OF AUTOMOBILES SINCE 1956 (THAT'S 56 YEARS) AND THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE THAT EVER GAVE ME THIS PROBLEM.

Mileage: 31,700

EVERY TIME I FILL MY FUEL TANK THE GASOLINE OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN I FILL AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY. *TR

Mileage: 17,500

WHILE PUTTING GAS IN THE TANK I HAVE TO PUT IT IN VERY SLOW OR IT WILL SHUT OFF, THEN WHEN THE GAS TANK GETS CLOSE TO FULL GAS WILL GUSH OUT. ALSO SOME TIMES I SMELL GAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. *TR

Mileage: 22,000

WHEN MY WIFE FILLS HERE 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THE FUEL PUMP DOESN'T SHUT OFF AND FULL SHOTS OUT OF THE FILLER. THIS CAME ON SUDDENLY HAD IT LOOKED AT ONCE (NON-JEEP DEALER) AND FOUND NOTHING. THIS EVEN HAPPENS WHEN THE PUMP IS SET TO THE LOWEST SPEED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND WASTEFUL! *TR

Mileage: 80,000

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE UP WITH GASOLINE, IT SPEWS OUT OF THE INTAKE, DRAINING ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND OF THE GAS STATION. NOT ONLY IS THIS A WASTE OF A RESOURCE AND MONEY BUT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS ONE SPARK COULD IGNITE THE ENTIRE GAS STATION KILLING INNOCENT CHILDREN AND OTHER CITIZENS. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THIS SITE AND MANY OTHERS. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE PEOPLE ARE HURT. *TR

Mileage: 21,000

EVERY TIME I FILL THE LIBERTY UP WITH FUEL IS OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS OUT. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I PUMP THE FUEL FAST OR SLOW, IT SPILLS OUT EVERY TIME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME, MY FAMILY AND EVERYONE AROUND ME WHEN I PUT FUEL IN. *TR

FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF INLET WHEN FILLING GAS TANK. DURING ONE OF THE MANY INCIDENTS THE FUEL SHOT OUT ABOUT 18 INCHES FROM THE FILLER INLET. *TR

Mileage: 28,500

WHEN FILLING MY JEEP 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 AND IS OBVIOUSLY A WASTE OF MONEY. *TR

Mileage: 34,000

I PURCHASED A USED 2008 JEEP LIBERTY IN MAY OF 2011. EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL MID-DECEMBER 2011 WHILE I WAS FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. THE PUMP SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY BUT GAS SPOUTED OUT OF THE FILL ALL OVER THE PUMP HANDLE AND MY HAND. IT'S A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND PUDDLING ON THE GROUND. THIS NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK UNLESS I TRY TO CUT IT OFF EARLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE DANGER OF SPILLED GAS AND AN MAJOR INCONVENIENCE. I SEE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE SO CLEARLY THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. I STRONGLY URGE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND COMPEL CHRYSLER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

Mileage: 45,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL SPILLED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE FAILURE RECURRED EVERY TIME THE CONTACT WOULD REFUEL THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

Mileage: 50,000

SAFETY CONCERN: WHILE FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY, BUT A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE GROUND, VEHICLE, AND ON THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

Mileage: 37,000

THE GASTANK OVERFLOWS AND SPITS OUT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE EVERY TIME YOU GET GAS! IT IS A HAZARD AND A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER JEEP FOR A YEAR NOW AND THEY REFUSE TO ASSIST IN CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET THE GASTANK REPAIRED AND IT STILL WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. FROM MY RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY OF THESE COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I CAN'T BELIEVE JEEP HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. I AM WORRIED EVERYDAY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY FAMILY. I'M NOT WILLING TO TAKE ANY MORE CHANCES WITH GAS ALL OVER THE TRUCK EVERY TIME I DRIVE, AND HOW CAN I GO ABOUT SELLING A CAR TO SOMEONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT SURE WHERE TO GO NEXT. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR

WHILE FILLING WITH FUEL, WHEN ALMOST FULL, FUEL WOULD GUSH OUT OF THE FILLER. THIS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY. *TR

Mileage: 48,360

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS AFTER IT IS FILLED. JEEP SERVICE TOLD ME IT IS CAUSED BY A CUT-OFF VALVE DEFECT NO LONGER COVERED BY WARRANTY AND THAT THE REPAIR COSTS $750.00 AND INVOLVES REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. I SEE FROM THE INTERNET THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON TO THIS VEHICLE. HAVE YOU PREVIOUSLY BEEN MADE AWARE OF IT AND IS IT THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL? IT IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THE GAS LITERALLY SPEWS OUT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

Mileage: 35,000

LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL VIOLENTLY SPLASHES OUT OF FUEL FILL TUBE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP. FUEL SPLASHES ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE PERSON FILLING IT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM. *TR

Mileage: 50,000

Mileage: 20,310

WHILE FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY AS IT SHOULD HAVE BUT, A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILL TUBE ALL OVER THE GROUND, VEHICLE, AND ON THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS WHEN HOLDING THE NOZZLE GRIP MANUALLY. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL UP AND OCCURS EVEN WHEN MANUALLY HOLDING THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE. I FILED A COMPLAINT THROUGH MYCARSTATS.COM BUT NOTICED THAT THE REPORTS ON THIS ISSUE HAVE STARTED TO INCREASES QUITE A BIT SINCE MY REPORT A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE COMPLAINTS ARE SPREAD THROUGHOUT MANY COMPLAINT FORUMS ON THE INTERNET. THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE SINCE IT IS DEALING WITH A HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE SUBSTANCE. MANY HAVE TAKEN THIS UP WITH VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE. THIS IS WHERE THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STEP IN AND GET THIS ISSUE ON THE RECALL LIST FOR JEEP LIBERTY'S AND WRANGLER'S. *TR

Mileage: 32,000

WE PURCHASED A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY USED FROM A TOLEDO DEALERSHIP IN APRIL OF 2011. THE FUEL AUTO SHUT-OFF DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, AND EVERY TIME WE TOP OFF THE TANK FUEL ENDS UP "BURPING" ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ONTO THE GROUND, AND IN SOME CASES ONTO THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE. EVEN THE SALESPERSON COMPLAINED THAT SHE GOT FUEL ON HER WHEN WE ASKED HER TO TOP IT OFF BEFORE WE DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT WE HAD WITH OUR 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. HOWEVER, THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THAT AND A NEW FUEL TANK AND NECK HAD TO BE INSTALLED THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THE 2008 JEEP LIBERTY TO FIX WHAT SEEMS TO BE AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED AND REMEDIATED. EVERY TIME I'VE CONTACTED THE ORIGINAL AND LOCAL DEALERSHIPS REGARDING THE ISSUE I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER OVER 3 YEARS OF NO PROBLEMS WHEN FUELING OUR LIBERTY, WE BEGAN TO HAVE GAS SPEW OUT AT EVERY FILL-UP. THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, AND GAS COMES BACK OUT FORCEFULLY ENOUGH TO HIT THE PERSON PUMPING THE GASOLINE. *TR

Mileage: 72,000

MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY HAS OVERFLOWED FUEL WHEN FILLING THE TANK 3 OUT OF THE 6 TIMES I HAVE FILLED IT SINCE PURCHASED ON 11/28. IT HAS HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. WHEN THE PUMP KICKS OFF THERE IS BETWEEN 2-8 OUNCES OF FUEL THAT SPITS BACK AROUND THE HANDLE WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF PRESSURE. THE AREA UNDERNEATH THE FILLER CAP IS SOAKED AND A LARGE PUDDLE FORMS ON THE GROUND. I AM CONCERNED THAT AT SOME POINT A FIRE MAY RESULT. I ALSO FEEL I MUST WASH THE CAR AFTER EVERY INCIDENT BECAUSE I WORRY ABOUT THE GAS CAUSING A PAINT DEFECT. *KB

Mileage: 17,000

WHEN FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, THE GAS TANK OVER FLOWS BEFORE THE PUMP STOPS. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS A BROKEN PUMP, HOWEVER, I HAVE NOW FILLED UP OVER 4 TIMES AT 4 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THIS MOST RECENT TIME I HAVE LOST AROUND 1/2 GALLON OF GAS ON THE GROUND. I AM ALSO CONCERNED WITH THE EFFECT OF THE GAS ON MY PAINT/CAR BODY. *TR

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK WITH FUEL, FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE SPLASHING ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE PERSON PUMPING THE FUEL, AND ONTO THE GROUND. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT INTERNAL RELATING TO THE FILLER VALVE OR FUEL TANK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE EVALUATED AS A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY JEEP THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND I REMOVE THE PUMP AND GAS WILL BUBBLE OUT OF THE TANK AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *KB

THE LAST 3 TIMES I HAVE FILLED THE GAS TANK ON MY VEHICLE, GAS HAS OVERFLOWED ONTO THE GROUND. AFTER THE 2ND TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THE CODE READ THAT THE FILLER NECK WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ADVISED THEM THAT I HAD AN ISSUE WITH GAS OVERFLOWING ONTO THE GROUND WHEN FILLING UP AND WAS ADVISED IT "MAY" BE FIXED BY THE NEW FILLER NECK SINCE THERE IS A SENSOR IN THERE. I HAD THE FILLER NECK REPLACED. I FILLED THE JEEP AGAIN TODAY, ROUGHLY A WEEK AFTER HAVING THE FILLER NECK REPLACED, AND AGAIN GAS OVERFLOWED AND LEAKED DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. UP UNTIL THIS POINT, WHEN FILLING MY JEEP, THE GAS PUMP WOULD CLICK OFF WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. I HAVE GONE TO THREE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SO IT IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP AT THE STATION. *TR

Mileage: 33,000

EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. MOST TIMES, THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUTOFF A THE GAS PUMP .... AT VARIOUS STATIONS ... DOES NOT STOP THE FLOW. AT OTHER TIMES, FUEL GUSHES OUT EVEN IF THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I HAVE TRIED SLOWING THE RATE FUEL GOES INTO THE TANK. SOMETIMES THIS WORKS. OTHER TIMES, IT DOESN'T. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION IS TO TRY TO CALCULATE HOW MUCH FUEL IT WILL TAKE TO FILL THE VEHICLE AND THEN STOP THE FLOW MYSELF A COUPLE OF GALLONS EARLY. THERE IS A JEEP TSB OUT ON THIS PROBLEM. AND THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. THE FUEL SPILLAGE ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. *TR

Mileage: 36,500

I BOUGHT MY JEEP IN JUNE WITH JUST OVER 36000 MILES. IT WAS PREVIOUSLY A RENTAL VEHICLE. EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL ABOUT SEPTEMBER WHEN I FILLED GAS AND THE PUMP CLICKED OFF AND GAS CAME OUT ALL OVER AT ABOUT 42,000 MILES. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS PUMP, BUT THEN I WENT TO OTHER STATIONS AND IT HAPPENED EVERY TIME. I WAS GOING TO BRING IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BUT I SEE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS VERY IRRITATING TO HAVE IT HAPPEN EVERY TIME! PLEASE HAVE A RECALL! *TR

Mileage: 42,000

EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL MY TANK WITH GAS THERE IS A SPILL OVER. I HAVE BEEN TO MULTIPLE DIFFERENT FILLING STATIONS AND GET THE SAME RESULT EVERY TIME. GASOLINE ALWAYS RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AS THE TANK REACHES FUEL CAPACITY. GASOLINE SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, ON TO THE GROUND, AND EVEN GETS ON MY HANDS, CLOTHES, AND SHOES. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH AN ISSUE WITH SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS FUELING A VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 2 MONTHS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM CARMAX. I PLAN ON CONTACTING THEM REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL AS MY JEEP. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT THAT WARRANTS A TOTAL RECALL ON ALL 2008 JEEP LIBERTY MODELS. I DON'T LIKE HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT INGESTING GASOLINE WHEN I EAT BECAUSE MY HANDS WERE COVERED IN GASOLINE. I DON'T LIKE BREATHING THE NOXIOUS FUMES WHILE I'M INSIDE MY CAR BECAUSE FUEL FROM A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK HAS SPILLED ON TO MY CLOTHES AND SHOES. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2009 AS THE SECOND OWNER WITH 18,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS AND SPRAYS GAS ALL OVER THE PLACE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE STATION BUT AFTER USING MULTIPLE STATIONS I NOW HAVE TO ESTIMATE HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN THE TANK AND THEN TRY AND FILL IT UP. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

Mileage: 45,000

2008 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 4X4, "BURPS" GASOLINE OUT OF THE GAS TANK EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS. I HAVE FILLED UP AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND EVERY TIME THE PUMP STOPS FILLING WHEN FULL, BUT THE JEEP SPITS OUT GAS AFTER THE PUMP STOPS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, SINCE I SEE THIS AS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

I OWN A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND PURCHASED IN LATE NOVEMBER 2010. THE MILEAGE AT PURCHASE WAS ONLY 8,000 MILES. WHEN I FILLED THE TANK FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, IT OVERFLOWED, SPILLING GAS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, ON MY FEET, CLOTHES, HANDS, ETC. EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK, IT OVER FLOWS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS HIGHLY UNSAFE AS WELL AS AN INCONVENIENCE. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY SHUT OFF THE PUMP EARLY TO AVOID AN OVERFLOW. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEED A NEW GAS TANK AT $730. I AM NOW AT 17,000 MILES, WELL UNDER THE 3YR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT DUE TO THE DATE, THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THIS IS UNSAFE AND RIDICULOUS. A VEHICLE WITH 8,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE GAS SPILLING OUT OF THE TANK AT EVERY FILL. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON WRANGLERS FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THE LIBERTY. *TR

Mileage: 8,000

2008 JEEP LIBERTY. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS AND 5 MONTHS. IT HAS 43,000 MILES. FOUR MONTHS AGO THE ISSUE BEGAN WHILE FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS. THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL CAUSING AN OVERFLOW OF GASOLINE ONTO THE CAR AND GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE REFUEL. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REFUELED JUST TO ENSURE IT WAS NOT USER ERROR AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS. WE HAVE ALSO USED MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT AN ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FOUND AND A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. THE CONSUMER STATED CHRYSLER AGREED TO PAY FOR THE FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT AND THEREFORE REQUEST TO DELETE THIS COMPLAINT. UPDATED 06/07/11 *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4 IN NOVEMBER 2010, AND EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE FILLED UP WITH GAS, THE FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK JUST AS THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT EVERY GAS STATION AND EVERY TYPE OF PUMP I HAVE USED. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE THE GAS RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE (NEAR THE EXHAUST), ONTO THE GROUND, AND OFTEN GETS ON ME. I CANNOT IMAGINE THIS IS SAFE. NOT ONLY IS THE SPILL HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT, IT IS ALSO A FIRE HAZARD. AND, WITH FUEL PRICES CREEPING UP, I BECOME MORE AND MORE FRUSTRATED AT THIS WASTED FUEL THAT I AM PAYING FOR. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT A SIMILAR ISSUE WAS FOUND IN 2007-2008 JEEP WRANGLERS, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL. PLEASE MAKE CHRYSLER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY VALVE THAT IS SUPPOSEDLY CAUSING THIS ISSUE - FOR THE SAFETY AND PIECE OF MIND OF ALL LOYAL JEEP OWNERS. *TR

WHILE FILLING 2008 JEEP LIBERTY, PAST 6 TIMES, THE GAS TENDS TO SEEP OUT. MILEAGE WHEN STARTED ~43K MILES. EVEN WHEN THE RUBBER COVER OVER THE GAS NOZZLE FITS SNUG WITH THE THROAT OF THE GAS INLET, GAS HAS LEAKED. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THAT WILL NOT SHUT OFF THE GAS VALVE WHEN I AM PUMPING GAS. I PREVIOUSLY HAD A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE GAS DRIPS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR, TIRE AND EVENTUALLY ON THE PERSON PUMPING GAS CREATING A VERY LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS THAT REQUIRES CLEANUP FROM THE GAS ATTENDANT. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH 2 DIFFERENT STYLES OF JEEPS AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS. *TR

Mileage: 18,000

THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME FUEL IS PUMPED INTO THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS AND REGARDLESS OF HOW SLOWLY THE TANK IS FILLED. THE PROBLEM STARTED SEEMINGLY OUT OF THE BLUE WITH NO ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE TO THE CAR PRIOR. GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AS SOON AS THE PUMP IS REMOVED, GETTING THE PERSON WET IF THEY DO NOT KNOW TO STAND ASIDE. GAS ALSO RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL / EMISSIONS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP. THE INTERIOR SMELLS OF GAS FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER EACH OVERFLOW INCIDENT. WE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY SAID THE ENTIRE GAS TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE VALVE THAT HAS FAILED. WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AND FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AND/OR EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERED ITEM. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE FOR SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IT IS ENDEMIC TO MANY JEEP LIBERTY AND JEEP WRANGLER VEHICLES MADE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. JEEP HAS ONLY OFFERED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR WRANGLERS FROM 2007-08. *TR

Mileage: 58,000

WHEN PUTTING FUEL IN THE TANK, IT WILL BURP OUT THE FILL LINE JUST AS THE PUMP IS CLICKING OFF. CANNOT FILL THE TANK WITHOUT THIS HAPPENING AND IT OCCURS EVERY TIME WE FUEL UP. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO AND WE HAVE LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT NOW. NO EVENT LED UP TO THIS STARTING, IT JUST STARTED WHEN TRYING TO FUEL UP. NO MATTER HOW I TRY TO FUEL UP, I GET SLOSH BACK. THIS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD BESIDES THE FILLING STATIONS DO NOT LIKE HAVING GASOLINE SPILLED IN THEIR STATIONS. IT IS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4.

PUTTING GASOLINE INTO MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY, 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 BEING SPILLED ON MY CLOTHING, SHOES, HANDS, VEHICLE AND GROUND. ONCE THIS HAPPENS THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE GAS CAUSING HEADACHES AND BREATHING PROBLEMS. I AM JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO CAUSE A SPARK AT THE GAS PUMP TO IGNITE ME. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS INTERNET FORUMS STATING THE SAME ISSUES, THIS TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM THAT JEEP HAS NOT ADDRESSED. *TR

WHILE FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THE GAS PUMP SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY AS IT SHOULD HAVE, BUT A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS SPIT OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILL TUBE ALL OVER THE GROUND AND VEHICLE.

EVERY TIME THE GAS TANK IS BEING FILLED THERE IS AN ERUPTION OF FUEL THAT COMES OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILL WHEN THE GAS PUMP HANDLE SHUTS OFF. EVEN WHEN MANUALLY HOLDING THE GAS PUMP HANDLE DISPENSING GAS AT A VERY SLOW RATE, THE GAS TANK FILL STILL POURS OUT GAS WHEN IT REACHES THE FULL POINT AND SHUTS OFF THE PUMP.

AT AROUND THE 74,000 MILE MARKER, MY GAS TANK BEGAN SPEWING OUT GASOLINE UPON FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION. THE TANK HOLDS ROUGHLY 17.5 GALLONS, AND THE NOZZLE (UP TO THIS POINT) WOULD ALWAYS AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF UPON A FULL TANK WHEN AT THE PUMP. NOW, WHEN THE TANK IS NEARING FULL, THE FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE GAS TANK, LEAKING GASOLINE ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ON MY HANDS, SHOES, CLOTHES AND GROUND. THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND AVOID THIS ISSUE IS TO ESTIMATE A CUT-OFF POINT IN WHICH TO STOP PUMPING FUEL AT AROUND THE 17.0 GALLON MARK, WHICH IS STILL VERY HARD TO DO WITHOUT THE SPILLAGE OCCURRING AND OFTEN LEAVES ME WITH A PARTIAL FILLUP TO AVOID GETTING SOAKED IN GASOLINE. AS OF 4 DAYS AGO, MY GASCAP AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. I'VE FULLY REFUELED 3 TIMES SINCE THEN AND TIGHTENED THE GAS CAP AND THE LIGHTS HAVE NOT DISAPPEARED. I OFTEN SUFFER HEADACHES FROM THE GASOLINE FUMES THAT I CARRY BACK INTO THE VEHICLE ON MY HANDS, CLOTHES AND FEET FROM THE GAS SPILLAGE THAT OCCURS WHEN I FILL UP. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON AMONGST JEEP OWNERS BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF FORUMS I'VE FOUND ONLINE.

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH GAS, AT THE FULL POINT THE TANK SHOOT BACK ABOUT A QUARTER GALLON OF GAS ONTO THE GROUND AND ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR.

EVERY TIME I FUEL MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THE FUEL NOZZLE DOES NOT SHUT OFF PROPERLY WHEN FULL, CAUSING FUEL TO SPEW OUT ONTO THE CAR, MY HANDS, MY CLOTHING AND THE CONCRETE BENEATH THE CAR AT THE GAS STATION. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY ON 3/9/2010 AND THEY REPLACED THE FILLER TUBE. THE REPAIR DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR A YEAR NOW. TODAY, WHILE AT THE GAS STATION, THE PERSON IN THE ISLE NEXT TO ME, DRIVING A 2008, 4-DOOR JEEP WRANGLER, HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I ASKED HER ABOUT IT AND SHE SAID THE PROBLEM HAD JUST BEGUN FOR HER IN THE PAST MONTH, BUT IT NOW HAPPENS TO HER EVERY FUEL UP. I DECIDED I WOULD LOOK INTO IT FURTHER. AFTER SEEING THE MULTIPLE ONLINE POSTS, I DECIDED TO MAKE A COMPLAINT, AS THIS IS OBVIOIUSLY A DEFECT WITH JEEP VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL SPILL DURING REFUELING. WHILE REFUELING THE CAR, WHEN THE TANK WAS ALMOST FULL, FUEL STARTED TO SPILL RESULTING IN SPRAYING THE CAR AND THE GROUND WITHIN 3 FEET RADIUS WITH GAS. THIS CREATES A RISK OF FIRE AND HEALTH HAZARDS BY SPILLING GAS ONTO SKIN. CHRYSLER/JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE A TSB FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT REFUSE TO MAKE A RECALL. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE OF THE PROBLEM ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER 3 TIMES FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE FAILED TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

JEEP LIBERTY 2008 GAS GUSHING OUT EVERY TIME AFTER FILLING TANK - ACCORDING TO DEALER, ROLL-OVER VALVE IS FAULTY INSIDE GAS TANK SO ENTIRE GAS TANK MUST BE REPLACED (ABOUT $800+). THIS VALVE ENSURES THAT GAS WILL NOT LEAK INTO VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF A ROLL-OVER ACCIDENT; ALSO ENSURES GAS WON'T SHOOT OUT OF THE GAS TANK AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. GAS ERUPTS OUT OF TANK AND BACK ONTO THE FACE, BODY AND FEET OF THE CONSUMER AS WELL AS ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND NEAR GAS PUMPS. VERY UNSAFE HAZARD. NOT A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM BUT RATHER A DEFECTIVE PART INSIDE THE GAS TANK. SHOULD NOT BE THE CONSUMER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE. VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD WITH 40,000 MILES LOGGED. THIS OCCURS EACH AND EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED WHETHER OR NOT IT IS ON AUTO-FILL OR MANUALLY REGULATED. TRICKY WORK TO MANUALLY STOP GAS FLOW BEFORE IT GUSHES OUT. LODGED COMPLAINT WITH JEEP OF AMERICA BUT WAS TOLD ONLY POSSIBLE RECOURSE WAS TO PAY FOR REPAIR MYSELF; SUBMIT CLAIM TO THEM AFTER THE FACT, AND THEY MAY OR MAY NOT DECIDE TO ASSIST ME WITH COSTS (THEY WON'T CALL IT REIMBURSEMENT) FOR SOME OR ALL OF MY EXPENSES. THEY CLAIMED NO RESPONSIBILITY AND COMPLETE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THIS CONCERN IS POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET IN VARIOUS FORUMS. THANK YOU. *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED EACH TIME HE FILLED THE GAS TANK, GASOLINE SPILLED OUT OF THE FILL OPENING MOMENTS AFTER THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF WAS TRIGGERED. THE SPILL OCCURRED IN A BOILING TYPE MANNER AND THE VOLUME OF THE SPILL WAS SIGNIFICANT. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED, THROUGHOUT THE THREE YEARS HE HAS OWNED THE VEHICLE, HE HAD A PROBLEM WITH RAIN GETTING INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE POINT OF ENTRY APPEARED TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE REAR LIFT GATE. THE WATER VOLUME WAS SIGNIFICANT AND NOT ONLY SOAKED THE REAR BED, BUT IT ALSO RAN TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND SOAKED THE FRONT PASSENGER CARPET. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED TWICE, WITH THE REPORT THAT SOME DRAINS PORTS WERE CLOGGED. THE LAST REPAIR INVOLVED SOME ADDITIONAL CAULKING. *JB

THIS IS WHERE THE MY HEALTH AND SAFETY COMPLAINT COMES IN. MY WIFE HAS BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT BEING SICK WITH HEADACHES AND STOMACH PAIN FOR MONTHS. ORIGINALLY WE TOOK THE JEEP IN FOR "GAS CAP" WARNING ON THE ODOMETER AND ENGINE LIGHT. NOTHING WAS FOUND. TODAY I TOOK THE JEEP IN AN ALEXANDER FOUND A CLEARLY ABRADED OR DETERIORATED VACUUM HOSE THAT THEY SAID COULD ALLOW THE GAS FUMES INTO THE CABIN. MY WIFE HAS BEEN BREATHING THIS FOR MONTHS AND IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THIS EXPOSES OCCUPANTS TO TOXIC FUMES AND RISKS AN EXPLOSION HAZARD IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED ASAP. IF YOU CAN CONTACT ME ASAP I CAN LET YOU SEE THIS HOSE AS IT SITS. *TR
