Gas tank overflows every time when attempt to fill tank full. Dealer says problem can't be fixed and tank must be replaced. Not covered by warranty and cost is over $1500 to replace. This seems like a safety issue they should take care of.
2006 Jeep Liberty fuel system complaints
Page 12 of 13: complaints 311 to 340 of 365, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty 4x4. While contact stated that while refueling the vehicle, fuel spewed back out from the filler neck. The contact stated that the failure recurred constantly whenever the fuel tank was filled close to capacity. The contact inspected the vehicle and advised that the fuel tank would need to be replaced because the fuel check valve was defective. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics or repairs. The manufacturer was contacted and a complaint was filed. The approximate failure mileage was 21,000.
Every time I fill my gas tank up a bunch of gas spills out all over the jeep, the ground and me. This has been happening for around 6 months now. This happens at every gas station I've used.
2006 jeep liberty gas spill when fueling.
While filling tank with fuel, fuel spills out onto exterior of car. Fuel does not stop, until overfull. This has happened on multiple occasions, and at various filling stations.
Every time I fill up with gas (regardless of station / how I hold nozzle / speed at which I refuel / etc), the tank overflows with a lot of gas all over the vehicle and the ground and sometimes on me. Then the interior of the vehicle stinks of fumes for a long time afterward. This has been going on for almost as I've had the vehicle but it getting worse over the past year.
Everytime I fill up my gas tank on my 06 liberty it over flows.
Over the past few months, I have occasionally smelled a kerosene odor while driving my jeep liberty diesel. Today, I read about a common problem with the fuel heater on the liberty diesel and so I checked the heater on my vehicle. The plastic insulator around the electrical pins of the fuel heater connector (on cable) is discolored and partially melted. Doing further reading this evening, I discovered that this problem can also be a source of fuel seepage. Although I didn't see any evidence of fuel around the connector, this is obviously an electrical problem and may have been also been the source of the odor I have been smelling while driving. I feel fortunate to have discovered this in a pre-failure condition and have not (yet) experienced a serious fuel leak, engine fire or engine stoppage due to fuel system failure, I was disappointed to learn that your agency was aware of this design problem back in 2007 (pe07041), but closed it with apparently no action taken. In my opinion, this condition certainly warrants a manufacturer's recall and repair. I have photos of the partially burned connector on my vehicle, should you be interested in seeing them. It is quite obvious that the electrical capacity of this connector is being exceeded and is a serious design flaw.
2006 jeep liberty sport (3.7l gas), spills fuel at every fill up. The pump will click off, and about two seconds later, about a cup of fuel will spill out of the filler tube all over my hands, clothes, and vehicle. Jeep dealer said they've not heard of the problem, even though with 5 minutes of research online, it's very common. This has been a problem since I purchased it as a certified jeep vehicle with 32,xxx miles.
The jeep liberty has regularly "spit" out quantities of gasoline while filling up at gas stations. The quantities range from 1 to 8 ounces, with the quantity that poured out today the largest amount yet. The quantities vary by how fast the pump is pumping and whether the pump is hand operated or on automatic but some quantity of gas comes out almost every time. The spill today left at least 4 to 6 ounces of gasoline on the ground which is both an environmental and safety hazard.
When fueling the tank the gasoline pump will not turn off when the tank gets full causing a significant amount of gasoline to spill down the side of the vehicle and onto the ground as well as splashing all over the handle and the person holding the handle. This happens every time the tank is filled regardless of weather or location.
When ever jeep is fueled up , fuel gushes out of filler neck when nozzle shuts off ,slow or fast, it makes a mess on jeep and on the ground. Big fire hazard.
For the last 2 months every time I fill up my jeep liberty 2006 gas spills out. This is frustrating especially with the price of gas. I estimate that I lose at least a gallon each time. When I first got the jeep I noticed that you could not "top off" the gas which each fill. But now it just spills out all over. Help!!
Every time I fill up my vehicle at a gas station gas comes pouring out after the tank is full. The gas nozzle clicks off and gas begins to pour out all over the side of the vehicle and the ground. I have tried manually pumping as well as automatically pumping with the same results. I have attempted filling at multiple gas stations with the same outcome. This did not occur the first year that I owned my car, and only began in the past couple months. This is a hazard to the environment and a potential danger for a fire.
Suddenly started over-flowing gas out the filler tube upon filling. Has happened with multiple filling stations for about the last 6 or 8 fillings. Never happened prior to that. There have been no modifications, damage, or changes in the fuel system of the vehicle.
2006 jeep liberty sport fuel overflows out of fuel filler tube when filling gas tank no matter how slowly the tank is filled.
I have a 2006 jeep liberty limited 4x4 with a 3.7l v6 engine that overflows gas out of the filler neck when refueling no matter how fast the flow of gas is flowing. Vehicle has about 66,000 miles and has only started happening in the last 3,000 miles or so.
Gas overflows when filling tank.
My rear tail lights and stop lights bulbs keep burniging out. The rear passenger housing has been replaced free by the dealer. Since then I have had to replace the same housing in less than two years. The rear tail lamp and brake lamp bulbs do not burn the filament the light bulbs actually explode inside the housing or melt the housing. The plugs that hold the bulbs are scorched. I have both the rear lamp and plugs to show the defect. I am not the isolated case: most liberty owners and some grand cherokee owners have had the same problems. My second complaint is a fuel leak at the connection of the fuel heating element. The filter head where the fuel filter is attached also has a heating elemnt.. The electic plug connection at the head leaked fuel onto the connection. I observed when the ignition was tuned on, the fuel leaked and vaporize as it was being shorted and heated. I disconnected the electric plug., filled the female receptacle with fuel tank epoxy and rubber plug for good measure. Will be replacing scorched connection and filter head as soon as possible. I will keep all defective parts for your inspecton upon your request thank you.
2006 jeep liberty overflows when filling with gas. Gas sprays out with significant force. Had the same problem with a 2006 durnago and the entire fuel tank and fill neck needed replaced. 2005 models were recalled, nothing on 2006 yet.
I have a 2006 jeep liberty limited with approximately 88,000 miles on it. Recently I started to experience a problem where the fuel pump nozzle does not shut itself off automatically when my fuel tank is full. The first time it happened I thought this was an issue with the fuel pump at the station, but it has happened at multiple stations and every time I pump fuel. I've just been trying to pay close attention and stop the fuel flow before my tank gets full. This overflowing fuel is going to damage the paint on my vehicle and is a fire hazard at the gas station, not to mention the fact that the fuel has spewed onto my shoes and clothing on more than one occasion. The problem seems to be progressing now, as yesterday when I went to get fuel, the nozzle spewed immediately upon beginning to pump (and the tank was nearly empty as my fuel level indicator had just gone off). The only way I could get fuel into my tank was to manually control the flow with the nozzle so that it went into the tank very slowly. I have contacted my jeep dealership and have a service appointment later this week. I've read about a lot of others with this issue, and it sounds like they will need to replace my fuel tank.
2006 jeep liberty made in may 06. This model is similar to the 07. Gas tank filling to full, gasoline shoots out the gas inlet with much back pressure. It has been doing this consistently for the last couple of months since I bought the car. It makes no difference what station I go to, or how fast the gasoline is flowing.
2006 jeep liberty sport, overflows when filling up gas tank, most of the time.
2006 jeep liberty sport overflows from the gas tank when filling gas. This happens at various gas stations. The automatic shut-off at service station pumps do not sense pressure to shut off. This causes fuel to spill on side of car, ground and possibly the person filling the tank. This is an environmental hazard, fire hazard and could cause harm as an inhalant.
Several things 2 list: vehicle = 2.8l diesel jeep liberty, 2006. The codes are p0093 & u0121. 1st) it says a large leak in the fuel system. Something in the emission system. Has happened several x's. I've had it towed 4 this. Engine runs rough & quits @ x's. No power. Changed fuel filter & did air leak test in the fuel return system / tech at dodge jeep dealer. No air in return line found. Problem still exist on an intermitant & sporadic x frame since june 2010. Last x occurred = 8-20-10ish. 2) low boost from hole in the waste gate actuator vacum tube from improper routing at factory. Found by tech at jeep dealer. 2 visits many hours & $$$. Egr valve replaced @ same time. Big $'s. 3rd) belt squeak from bearing going out in A/C compressor /dealer tech??? 3rd visit. Need A/C compressor he says. Previously changed tensioner pulley for this problem but did not fix problem. They now say its the A/C compressor??? 4th) right rear electric window motor failed 10-2-10. Replaced motor/regulator assembly 10-7-10= $172.99. I should be reimbursed for all parts & labor for these damages. I paid a lot of $ for a supposedly good vehicle but it keeps failing. 5th) part time 4x4 light on dash says its in part time 4x4 when in two wheel drive. Haven't repaired cause of $. Please note that because of low power I was almost in several accidents because of the low turbo boost at acceleration. There could be injuries or fatalities in the future if this happens to someone else that's not mechanically inclined and not aware of reduced engine performance of a turbo failing slowly like mine because of a small hole in the waste gate actuator tubing from vibration on the housing bracket by the tube. Was replaced and rerouted by dealer tech.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact was driving approximately 25 MPH coming to a complete stop with the front driver side window in the downward position. The contact attempted to activate the window mechanism. However, the window failed to operate upwardly. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on two separate occasions for the identical failure. The vehicle was repaired under the service warranty. The repair part was unknown. Also, the front passenger side window would not function in an upward position. In addition, when dispensing fuel into the fuel tank to the full capacity level; the fuel would continuously spray out of the tank without shutting off. The fuel tank was replaced at the dealer. The failure mileage was 8,000. Updated 8/2/10 *cn updated 08/09/10
Both rear regulators have quit working, leaving my jeep and myself vulnerable to others being able to easily enter the vehicle. We have replaced one and will be replacing the other next week due to the cost. As if that wasn't enough, the sun roof just quit working and stuck partially open. I hardly ever use it, so it did not break due to use. We took it into the dealership and it will cost $1300.00 dollars to repair, which we cannot afford. Also, fuel quite often overflows when fueling, spilling gasoline down the side of my jeep as well as spraying out onto the person fueling. It does not matter how slowly we put the gasoline in, it still overflows.
2006 jeep liberty sport fuel overflows out of fuel filler tube when filling gas tank no matter how slowly the tank is filled. The automatic shut-off at service station pumps does not sense the back pressure of the fill tube for these vehicles. This happens every time when refueling vehicle at any service station. Each occurrence causes spillage of fuel (approximately 6-12 ounces) on exterior painted surface of vehicle, on person filling vehicle and onto pavement creating not only cumulative damage to vehicle exterior but fire and environmental hazards as well. Internet research concerning this issue with jeep vehicles shows this to be a widespread problem across the united states and corrective actions are very rarely addressed by the manufacturer and then only if vehicle is within warranty. Obviously there is a defect in either the vehicle fuel fill tube, fuel tank or both. It appears chrysler corporation has been aware of this defect for quite some time, but has yet to recall these vehicles for the problem.
On a 2006 jeep liberty 4x4 every time gas is pumped into the tank (from several different filling stations) gas over flows spilling over vehicle and over the ground posing a health and environmental risk. I have read where this is a common problem among chrysler vehicles with no support from the company.
Almost every I fill my 2006 jeep liberty 4by4 with gas it spills out.
