Gas tank overflows when left filling at gas pump, does not activate auto off at any pumps for gas flow. Issue that seems to appear in a lot of jeep liberty's.

Every time I go to the gas station and fill up my tank, the pump doesn't shut off and it spill about a cup full of gas. Also after some research there are many other jeep owners that are dealing with the same problem!!!
Gasoline spills out of the vehicle's fuel filler neck upon completion of a full tank refilling. Initially, this seemed to occur intermittently without regard to gas station or particular fuel pump. Now at 114,000 miles, this happens at every fill up.
While filling fuel tank, fuel began to be spit out of the filler neck. Fuel dispenser had clicked and shut off fuel delivery when this occurred. This occurs every time the gas tank is filled. I doesn't matter whether the tank is filled slowly or fast. Since vehicle is out of warranty dealers refuse to do anything about this issue.
I am writing regarding the recent recall of all jeep liberty's. Despite what it says here, chrysler has told me they will not inspect nor install a trailer hitch on my 2005 liberty which is clearly part of the recall. Did they just lie and say they would do this to avoid legal action? Please investigate this.: the federal safety agency statement on chrysler announcement regarding action on 1993-2004 jeep grand cherokees and 2002-2007 jeep liberty's based on the federal safety agency?s preliminary analysis, as outlined in its recall request letter, chrysler has voluntarily agreed to conduct a safety recall of model year 2002-2007 liberty and 1993-1998 jeep grand cherokee vehicles. On vehicles in the recall that are not equipped with a tow hitch, chrysler will install a chrysler designed tow hitch free of charge, provided the condition of the vehicle can support proper installation. On vehicles in the recall that are equipped with an after market tow hitch, chrysler will assess whether the hitch and surrounding areas show evidence of sharp edges or other puncture risks. If so, chrysler will replace the tow hitch with a chrysler designed tow hitch free of charge, provided the condition of the vehicle can support proper installation. On vehicles already equipped with a chrysler designed tow hitch, chrysler will inspect the area around the tow hitch installation, and if any installation issues are identified, they will be repaired free of charge.
I put the gas pump on automatic and went inside to get a receipt when I came back the pump had stopped and there was gas all over the side of my jeep and on the ground!
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated that whenever refueling, fuel would spew from the filler neck valve. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who advised to dispense 15 gallons of fuel and no more in order to avoid the overflow. In addition, the fuel tank valve sensor was replaced. The failure recurred after the repair was performed. The dealer and manufacturer were notified, who both informed the contact that there was not a remedy to correct the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
When I fuel up my 2005 jeep liberty there is no auto stop for gas fill up. If I try to fill tank all the way up the gas will squirt back at me, covering my vehicle, my clothing and my skin, seems very dangerous to drive after covered in gas. Iv only owned the jeep a few months and this has happened many times, im very afraid to "top off" my tank and therefore my mpg is terrible, seems many people also have this issue, why has this not been a recall, seems to be a manufacture problem, with gas prices these days and all the wasted gas due to this problem its also an expensive issue as well as dangerous.
2005 jeep liberty. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle fuel tank issues. *smd the consumer stated the vehicle was spilling gas, every time she filled the tank. The consumer was informed chrysler was aware of the problem and the warranty had been extended. However, upon further investigation, it was discovered that only the 2006 and 2007 were covered. The dealer then informed the consumer the cost of the repair was $1500 for the fuel tank, plus labor and any incidental charges.
While refueling the vehicle for the first time after just purchasing it, fuel gushed out of the tank after the pumped had clicked off. The pump did not overfill the tank. Fuel splashed out onto the side of the vehicle and on the ground. Luckily, I was not directly beside the vehicle or fuel would have splashed on me. I thought this was a fault of the pump until I happened to see a video on utube of other people experiencing the exact problem. This is a design issue with this vehicle and needs to be corrected by the manufacturer.
When filling the fuel tank, the pump does not automatically turn off. Resulting in fuel spraying all over operator, jeep, and pavement. I have read many other similar complaints, is chrysler going to step-up and recall this potentially dangerous problem before someone is seriously injured?
I went to allen samuels about the gas tank and I did not get the hitch I needed. The advisor [xxx] said I needed a request from chrysler. Help information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While fueling up and it is full the automatic pump does not shut off till it over flows a little, it does it every time you go the pump. And you lose like a quarter of a gallon of gas out of it.
Car hit me from behind. My check engine light is on says the fuel evaporation system.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated that when refueling, the shut off valve failed and fueling did not cease automatically. As a result, fuel would spew from the filler neck valve. The vehicle was neither repaired nor diagnosed. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 112,000.
Filling up the fuel tank, the automatic fuel dispenser does not stop allowing fuel to spurt out. I lose about 1/4 -1/2 gallon every time. I slow fill to help alleviate, but it doesn't always work. Consistent fuel spills on the pavement and side of vehicle. Also gas smell inside vehicle after filling up.
2005 jeep liberty diesel. Fuel/water separator leaks fuel through the heater electrical lines. Known fire hazard that jeep/chrysler has not recalled. Raw fuel runs out the live electrical heater lines. Engine was stalling on startup. Odbii code came on after a month of this "fuel leak severe". It was loosing prime while sitting due to air leaking in. Found fuel leak on pre-heater connector to fuel water separator housing. Found some burnt and melted plastic where connector was. I found numerous incidents of this on-line. I found a plethora of info on this and there weren't many of these vehicles sold. It seems like a serious issue. Chrysler obviously knows about their mistake, when I called them they were able to sell me a new separator with an updated fuel heater connection, fixing the known issue. With new separator, no issues. Should be recall. Stalling out on highway speeds and losing power. Could have been a serious accident. Chrysler techs couldn't fix the issue when I brought it in for repair and I spent over a $1000 on other repairs they thought were causing the issue before I found the info online about the separator issue and we found the melted heater connections.
Over time, the automatic shutoff on fuel pumps at gas stations began to not shut off until after a significant amount of fuel had spilled out (up to a half gallon). At first, I thought it may be the design of different pumps, so I experimented with different stations. I found that no matter what style pump or station I am at, this continues to occur. I have had to resort to estimating how much gasoline I need based on my gage prior to turning the vehicle off. Another option is to underestimate and never really have a full tank. I have found that severely slowing the pump down toward the end of what I think is the amount of gasoline I need for a full tank will usually (but not always) get the pump to shut off in time prior to overflowing. Although I have gotten better at estimating, there are still times that gasoline overflows. Aside from a fire hazard on the vehicle and on the ground at the pump, the gasoline can cause body damage over time. This has nothing to do with attempting to "top off" the tank after the pump shuts off. There is no top off room with this vehicle. I have had other vehicles that could take an extra gallon or more after the automatic shutoff, but this one does not. After looking at several forums and other online posts, I discovered that there are many other owners who have experienced this problem. I contacted chrysler, left my information with them to be processed, and was told I'd be called back. They called back and left a voicemail saying that they would not be taking any action to fix it and that I could call back if I had any questions. I called back and could not get the agent that worked on my claim to call me back.
I've been made aware of the possible recall regarding the fuel tanks - and I always have a gas odor in my car. It is usually much stronger after I fill my tank but I always have a gas odor. Also I have the passenger back window down like many other owners.
On multiple occasions since buying the vehicle from a dealer in 2011, while filling up the gas tank the gas has not automatically shut off at the full point causing gas to flow onto the rear quarter panel, and on my hands and jeans. On multiple occasions I have had my daughter in the vehicle who is still in a car seat and must be picked up and helped in and out of the vehicle. Cannot leave my daughter in the vehicle to wash fuel off my hands, and had to help her with gas on me. This has been reported many times and yet nothing has been done. Before even leaving the parking lot with new vehicle dealer took vehicle and filled up gas tank, I was never notified of overflow issues at the dealership, or when the dealer returned with the vehicle. I now slow the gas pump down to avoid the overflow but it still does it just not to the point of spraying upward towards my face.
The vehicle consistently spills fuel upon filling the tank. Automatic shutoffs at gas stations do not prevent this from happening. It has happened at different gas stations in different states, so I do not believe it is caused by the gas station pumping system. Some spills have been up to 0.5 gallons. In my opinion this presents a severe fire hazard.
When I fill the gas tank, I get a back splash of gas once the tank is full. Cannot use the automatic shut off on the gas pump. I have to estimate as close as I can how much gas I can put into tank. If I over estimate, gas back splashes out and spills out onto pavement, onto me and vehicle. Very concerned about safety of gas tank and the risk of gas igniting.
My jeep liberty 2005 has always since new splashed gas back from tank when filling up. I didn't know others had this problem until I read this complaint page. It did it new and has continued to splash back alot of gas onto the body of the car and on the pavement in front of gas tanks when filling up tank at any location. I tend to try to stop filling before full to stop this problem. With so many complaints you should require this problem be repaired. This is dangerous for me and others at the station if just one person comes by smoking. Please acknowledge that this is my formal complaint in case there is ever a death or situation that this become fatal.
When filling the gas tank the fuel spews out and does not automatically shut off. This happens at different gas stations and started happening at approximately 50,000 miles.
