The 2006 jeep liberty spills fuel when filling at a gas station. The station pump shuts off and then a few cups of fuel overflows onto the side of the vehicle and the ground. If it is windy, you will get fuel everywhere. It doesn't matter what gas station you go to or how fast you fill up. Your only option is to stop the pump before the tank is full.

The gas tank shoots a large quantity of fuel out each time when refueling, which covers the rear quarter panel of the vehicle in gasoline as well as the person pumping. This occurs consistently, each time the vehicle is filled regardless of factors such as pump speed, temperature, depth or position of the nozzle. It is very difficult to time fueling so that the tank is not full so this does not occur. This is a safety hard due to the inability of the gas tank to hold the gasoline, which would be dangerous in the event of even a minor accident. It is also hazardous for the vehicle and individual to be covered in a highly flammable substance such as gasoline in the event of an accident. Many other drivers of this model also say this happens continually, that it is a consistent defect among others across these models and chrysler dealerships refuse to fix the issue.
This was the first time that we had filled the tank up on our 2006 jeep liberty since we purchased it on may 29,2012. While standing at the pump waiting for the tank to fill up, the tank started overflowing with gas. I had gas all over me, the car, and the ground. I wrote it off as being a problem with the pump. Two weeks later I go to a different pump to fill it up, and it happens again. So I called the dealership that we bought the vehicle from and explained the problem and we took it in for them to look at. They replaced a canister and leak protection guard, which did not fix the problem. I started looking on jeep forums and have found quite a few instances of this same problem on the jeep liberty and these people have also filed claims to the nhsta. The only way for the problem to be fixed is for the tank to be replaced because there is a check valve in the tank that is causing this. This is a very costly repair as I have called a couple of dealerships around in the are with the tank alone costing over $1,400 dollars.
This problem pertains to the 2006 jeep liberty crd 2.8l diesel. Under acceleration from 55 MPH to 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled and would not go over 3,000 RPM. When the vehicle slowed to 45 MPH, it would not increase speed, effectively in a "limp-in mode" . After the vehicle stopped, the engine was shut off for about 2 minutes then restarted. The vehicle traveled for approximately 5-7 miles with no problems then the incident happened again. The vehicle was towed to the jeep dealer where it was purchased and after two weeks the dealer basically gave up trying to fix the car. The issue has not been fixed and as I scan the internet I find this is a common yet dangerous problem with this vehicle.
My 2006 jeep liberty has a defective gas tank. When filling the tank completely full, the fuel pump nozzle will shut off only to have gasoline come pouring out of the tank onto me, my clothes, the outside of the vehicle, and all over the ground. After investigating the problem, it turns out I'm not the only one with this problem. Jeep should be held responsible for installing gas tanks that are deemed to fail. The cost of this gas tank alone, quoted by the dealership is $1400.00, and the filler line is an additional $300.00. This is ridiculous. Engine problems are one thing, parts due wear over time and this is understandable. But to have a gas tank that is potentially dangerous by spewing gasoline at consumers and being an environmental hazard is not acceptable. And chrysler/dodge/jeep not taking responsibility for their faulty manufacturing is not acceptable. And lets not forget that the government spent millions of dollars to bale them out, which turns out to be taxpayers money, our money, and they won't stand by their products. Shame on you!! Looks like I'll be purchasing a toyota fj cruiser instead of an american made classic in the future. Thanks for nothing jeep
Gas tank overflows when fueling because it doesn't sense when its full. I have to stop fueling before I think its full so this doesn't happen, so I am unable to fill tank completely. Spills all over my clothes, on the ground and down the side of my vehicle. Also I smell an electrical burning smell when I'm driving my vehicle sometimes which is very scary.
Last year around aug 2011 my key stuck in the key slot couldn't even get it out had after a while figured out if u push the brake all the way in then put in park then sometimes the key would come out started workin after about 2 to 3months later then on feb 27 12 it started 2 stick again then it wouldn't start we called chrysler.

When filling the gas tank, I let the pump shut off by itself. When the pump shuts off, a few ounces of gasoline spill on the ground. This happens consistently.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated that when refueling, fuel would overflow and spew from the filler neck. The fuel tank could not be filled to capacity and the failure was a frequent occurrence. The dealer was contacted and a claim was filed. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 103,000.
When filling up the tank at the gas station the tank has overflowed quite a bit of gasoline onto the ground as the pump stops. This has happened on several different occasions at several different filling stations.
When filling fuel tank, gas overflows out the filler tube. It does this know matter how you fill the tank_man. Or auto.
When filling the gas tank, the gas pump clicks like the tank is full then it starts overflowing.
My liberty started having fuel spill problems about a month ago. Now, every time I fill the tank, the pump doesn't 'click off' fast enough and there is an overflow (~1/4 gallon) of gasoline. This has happened at every gas station I've tried lately.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated when refueling the vehicle, fuel spilled on him and the vehicle. The dealer was notified and stated there were no recalls. The manufacturer also confirmed there were no recalls and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for inspection. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 78,000 and the current mileage was 98,000.
On each fill up, gasoline shoots out of the nozzle receptor. This occurs with the operator holding the handle in or with the latch pushed down to hold the handle down. Approximately a quarter cup of fuel shoots out of the tank upon overfill. I have called several dealers and the dealer insists the tank has been compromised by "ethanol based" fuels. I have never filled up with anything but 87 octane. The dealer wants me to pay $5000 for a new gas tank. This occurs at every gas station and I have tried to fill the tank on the slowest setting. Neither method helps the overfilling. This is not only a safety concern for me, but an environmental hazard.
Gas overflows every time I fill up. I have not caught on fire yet, but I worry for me and my children.
I purchased a used jeep in wisconsin that does not follow the federal safety agency or epa standards. The jeep overflows when filling the gas tank and spills gas on the ground at every gas station. This is a common issue with jeeps and needs to be recalled. It often requires replacement of the fuel tank or lines. My car is not under warranty since it was purchased used. I am extremely concerned of fire, pollution and my wife's safety with this hazardous issue.
Hi, I have owned this jeep liberty since 2008 and bought it with 2700 miles on it. The problem I have and many others have is with the filler neck on the fuel tank. It overflows gas every time you fill. Even if I slow it at the approx time the meter says it should be getting full. The internet research shows that the new gas tank assembly from jeep has a new/fixed safety valve in the filler neck that is supposed to help with a rollover accident but apparently slaps shut when filling causing the gas puke on clothes, shoes, ground, etc. It is not good for the environment, pocket book, or other people at the gas station as spilled gas is a significant safety concern. It is a chronic failure and jeep should do something. Sell part at loss/severe discount, replace for free would be nice, acknowledge the problem is a big issue and stand up and fix it even though it is not the classic, "this causes accidents and we better do something so we don't get sued" type of safety recall. Thanks in advance for the help.
After viewing some recommendations online about jeep liberty crd vehicle fires I decided to check the component listed as having possible issues on my vehicle. The electrical connection for the fuel heater located on the fuel filter assembly was in fact scorched and soaked through with diesel. A fire has not occurred, however I am seriously concerned that it could and that there is not a mandatory recall on this product. I have left the connection unplugged but winter is coming and I live in an area where that heater is necessary.
2006 jeep liberty gas shut off valve does not engage and gas overflows upon filling up gas tank. Has happened everytime I fill up the gas tank over the past 4 months.
Upon filling gas tank with fuel, the shutoff engages too late, and gasoline pours out down the side of the vehicle onto the ground. This does not matter which gas station is utilized, but happens whenever reaching a full tank, even when care is taken not to engage the spout at its maximum capacity. This is an ongoing issue, since I purchased the car last september, and so the following "approximate incident date" should be - ongoing.
Every time I try to fill the gas tank, it overflows. It doesn't matter what station or pump. If I use the automatic lever on the pump, the gas comes squirting out all over my car, my shoes, and the ground. Even if I don't use the lever, and squeeze the pump handle myself, the pump still does not shut off before overflowing. It is a problem with the car, not the gas pump or the operator.
2006 jeep liberty fuel overflow hazard. When refueling our 2006 jeep liberty, fuel overflows after fuel pump automatic shutoff is triggered. This overflow now occurs every time vehicle is refueled. No one is attempting to "top off" the fuel tank. The overflow causes a quantity of fuel, that I estimate at two to four cups, to spill on the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. This fuel overflow flaw creates an extreme fire hazard and environmental contamination risk. This flaw occurs in the wrangler model of chrysler jeep products also, where a recall has been issued. The same flaw is occurring in many thousands of jeep liberty's as is evident by the huge volume of owner statements posted on many websites. Go chrysler jeep in englewood, co quoted a repair cost of $2031.00 to fix the problem. When the overflow flaw first occurred in my jeep liberty, it was an occasional problem that was impossible to predict and without a recall notice, consumers are unaware of this hazard. This flaw creates a safety hazard for the person refueling the vehicle and anyone nearby. The fuel spilled has caused property damage in the form of ruined clothing and shoes, and possibly damage to the vehicle as fuel runs down the side into crevices around the rear wheel and axle. This spilled fuel could reach the hot exhaust pipe and explode. Why would the manufacturer cover this flaw under warranty for one make and model, the jeep wrangler, and not cover the identical problem for another make and model, the jeep liberty? It's the same problem created by the same manufacturer.
