FUEL OVERFLOWS & DOESN'T SHUT OFF WHEN FULL! EVERY TIME WE PUT FUEL INTO THE CAR, IT WILL NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK BECOMES FULL-NO MATTER HOW SLOW ONE FILLS THE TANK, IT CREATES A FUEL BURP AND POURS GASOLINE OUT & DOWN THE VEHICLE. ALL OF US, INCLUDING OUR YOUNG DRIVER, NEED TO BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS WHEN AT A GAS STATION. VERY VERY UNSAFE COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS!
EVERY TIME I PUT FUEL INTO MY CAR THE FUEL CHECK VALVE DOES NOT SHUT OFF CREATING A FUEL BURP AND POURING GASOLINE DOWN THE FENDERS OF MY CAR. MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE BEEN SPLASHED WITH GASOLINE MYSELF VERY UNSAFE I HAVE READ ON MULTIPLE FORUMS THAT MANY PEOPLE OF THE SAME CAR HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS
GASOLINE OVERFLOWS FROM GAS TANK WHEN ADDING ADDITIONAL GAS AT THE FUEL PUMP. THE FILLER/BREATHER TUBE ASSEMBLY AND GAS TANK WERE REPLACED BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM.
EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND GROUND DESPITE USING THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON THE GAS PUMP.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED ONTO THE GROUND WHEN FUEL WAS BEING PLACED IN THE FUEL TANK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
GASCAP FLASHING AND BINGING. HAVE PURCHASED 2 CAPS FOR LANDERS JEEP RESET THE ENGINE CODE AND IS STILL FLASHING AND BINGING. CAN SEE GAS VAPORS.
ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL-UP, THERE IS A SPLASH-BACK FROM THE FUEL FILLER OPENING. THIS APPARENTLY IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE LIBERTY MODEL AMONG OTHERS. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL THAT WOULD PAY FOR IT. I THEN CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO TOLD ME THAT MY SPECIFIC LIBERTY IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL OR TSB SO THEY CANNOT HELP. I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM POSES A HAZARD IF THE GAS WAS TO IGNITE. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS ON 26 FEBRUARY 2016.
Many Jeep vehicles have gas blow back during refueling. This problem has existed for a number of years and Jeep has issued recalls. Please read the following: If each Jeep user spills .1 gallon during refueling and they refuel the Jeep 12 times per year they spill 1.2 gallons per year. This is a very low estimate. If there are 100,000 Jeeps experiencing this problem that is 120,000 gallons of gas per year. Does anyone at NHTSA care?
THE GAS TANK IS IMPROPERLY DESIGNED, WHILE PUMPING GAS IT WILL NOT PROPERLY SHUT OFF, WILL SPRAY GAS WHICH IS CLEARLY DANGEROUS.
THE FILLER NECK IN FAILING ON MY JEEP LIBERTY 2007 AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE! WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK WITH GAS, THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF OCCURS AND WHEN I REMOVE THE NOZZLE, GAS SPITS BACK AT ME. AT FIRST IT WOULD HAPPEN AFTER THE TANK WAS FULL, NOW IT IS HAPPENING AFTER ONLY FILLING UP 2 GAL (WHEN ON EMPTY!).
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING FUELED, FUEL SPLASHED OUT OF THE FUEL NECK WITHOUT WARNING. THE FUEL CAP WAS PLACED ONTO THE FUEL NECK AND FUEL LEAKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VENT TUBE AND FILLER TUBE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 111,034. UPDATED 02/18/16*LJ UPDATED 02/22/16.*JB
WHEN REFUELING, GAS SPILLS OUT BEFORE THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF OCCURS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V252000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
WHEN PUMPING GAS AND IT SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY GAS SPEWS OUT LIKE A VOLCANO FROM THE GAS TANK. IT'S SO BAD THAT THE GAS ATTENDANT HAS HAD TO COME OVER AND PUT ABSORBENT MATERIAL ON TOP OF THE GAS SPILL AND WE'VE HAD TO WASH DOWN OUR CAR SO IT WON'T EAT THE PAINT. I CONTACTED JEEP WHO TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, BUT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER JEEP MODELS AND THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON THOSE MODELS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY NEED TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL TO INCLUDE THE 2007 JEEP LIBERTY'S THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR
EVER SINGLE TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS. THIS IS NOT ANYTHING NEW. THE MODEL OF MY CAR ONE YEAR AFTER HAS A FUEL TANK RECALL SO WHY ISN'T THERE ONE FOR THE 200 KJ JEEP LIBERTY.
2007 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REAR STRUCTURE REINFORCEMENT RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE MATTER IN A REASONABLE TIME. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *JB
EVERY TIME I FILL UP FOR GAS, THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF IS TRIGGERED TOO LATE AND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE CAR, SOAKING THE SIDE OF THE CAR, THE PUMP HANDLE, THE GROUND AROUND IT, AND ANYONE STANDING NEXT TO THE TANK. THIS CREATES A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF FIRE, AND IS ALSO HARMFUL FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. THERE WAS NO ATTEMPT TO TOP OFF THE TANK. *TR
WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE AUTO GASOLINE SHUTOFF FAILED TO WORK AND GAS SPILLED ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT. OUR CHRYSLER TOWN & COUNTRY WORKS FINE AT THE SAME GAS STATION. *TR
