After fueling and starting the vehicle, it fails to accelerate for several minutes. Also when fueling it doesn't stop and will overflow onto the ground if you don't keep track of how much gas you are putting in. Another issue is that the vehicle shakes very badly when idle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. For the last couple of years, while fueling the vehicle, the fuel would spew back out. The vehicle was taken to findlay chrysler jeep dodge ram post falls (550 n alberta st, post falls, id 83854, (208) 457-1900) where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank and fuel filler neck needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000. *bf the consumer stated the fuel spills everytime the vehicle is filled on full speed.

The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was included in the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 13v252000 (fuel system, gasoline, structure) and 18v278000 (suspension). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.
When filling the gas tank, the pump fails to automatically shut off due to a faulty fuel filler neck. The entire gas tank must be replaced because the valve is part of the tank and cannot be replaced separately. The fuel spillage hazard creates risk of explosion at the gas station.

Fuel will spill out when pumping and does not automatically stop. Very aggravating!!!!!!!!!!
When filling car with gas on leveled surfaces. The car will burp fuel out the filling neck spilling out on the road and grass. Spoke to a local dodge and they said they had no fix for it but it is an issue.
Gasoline will always blow out of the filler when fueling. At least 1/4 cup and sometimes a full cup of gasoline will be expelled at each refueling. Gasoline will be sprayed on hands, pants, shoes, side of car and on the ground. This problem has happened over the past year.
When filling the tank with fuel, the pump does not shut off, and the fuel filler tube belches fuel onto the side of the truck and the ground. This causes a fire safety issue, the fuel damages paint and plastics on the vehicle, it is wasteful, and is hazardous to the environment.
I recently purchased a 2006 jeep liberty 2006. Every time I put fuel in it, it overflows. It is not automatically shutting.off therefore spilling over and getting all over the car or me. This is very dangerous. I tried filling up at a few different gas stations and it is the samerthng. On the internet it is showing many people have concerns about this why isn't there a recall? I am afraid someone will throw a cigarette out their window and I will blow up. I wipe it.up each time.
When filling the gas tank, there is almost always overflow that spills out of the nozzle onto the side of the vehicle and onto the pavement. I would estimate this happens about 80% of the time I fill up.
