2008 Jeep Liberty

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CRACKED AND SEPARATED FROM THE DOOR PANEL. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR COULD ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,200.

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

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

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

THE FUEL OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING TANK WHICH CAUSES A VAST AMOUNT OF FUEL TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND....THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY HAZARD AND IS CLEARLY A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THESE JEEPS. MADE PHONE CALLS TO DEALER AND CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. CHRYSLER SAID TO BRING TO A DEALER AND HAVE IT DIAGNOSED...IF DEALER FEELS IT'S AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ON A RECALL THEN CALL CHRYSLER BACK AND THEY MAY BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING TO COVER THE SERVICE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE WOULD SPEW BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 43,407.
