Every time I fill the gas tank (parked with engine turned off), gas spews from the filler tube, runs down the side of the car, pools on the ground and underneath the car, creating an extremely dangerous situation. Gas continues to spew out and all over the area until I desperately grab the gas pump nozzle handle and manually disengage it! I now never can depend upon auto shut-off!! I have to manually operate the pump nozzle, not take my hand off it, listen to the gushing tone sound as the tank nears the full point and shut off the nozzle by hand when I hear the gas getting ready to spew all over the place!! This is so dangerous!!!!! Over the course of several years, I thought this problem was just unique to my car but after talking with two other jeep liberty owner acquaintances, I discovered they had the same dangerous safety problem with their jeep liberty, as well. This is so dangerous.... It needs to be recalled and fixed!!! ("when did this happen field below: july 2009 to present")

2006 jeep liberty: fuel splashes back when filling gas tank at a gas station. This happens every time I fuel the tank. Faulty fuel inlet check valve. Other chrysler vehicles have this problem and have been recalled for repair. I spoke with a representative from chrysler, and they stated that chrysler has no plans of issuing a recall for this make, model, and year vehicle.
2006 jeep liberty. Consumer writes in regards to parts not available to repair rear structure reinforcement recall notice. *smd according to the invoice, the recall could not be performed, due to the severity of the corrosion and chrysler would resolve the issue in a different way. When the consumer contacted the dealer again, after not hearing anything, she was informed the repair was completed. The consumer stated no repairs were not done. Recall # 13v252000.
When filling up the gas tank, the automatic shut off does not function, resulting in gas pouring out of the tank. This has happened consistently, no matter where or when I fill up.
Every time I start to fill my tank it overflows. I lose approx. 1/2 gallon on the ground every time I put fuel in. This is ridiculous! I just bought this jeep a few weeks ago. The previous owner/ dealership did not make us aware of this problem.

Fuel spills every time we fill up. I took it to grapevine dodge and talked to a service adviser and she treated me and my daughter like we were stupid. Sorry, but I grew up working in a mobil service station and my chevy's don't overflow!!! So I left pissed off. It happens every fillup.

2006 jeep liberty. Consumer writes in regards to no replacement parts to complete fuel tank recall notice.
On september 2, 2015 I brought my 2006 jeep liberty in to a dealership, benson chrysler, in greer sc for a rear structure reinforcement recall repair. After being left at the dealership for 4.5 hours, I was informed that the recall repair could not be completed due to a large amount of rust on the bolts. I was told by the manager, brad that more than one technician look at the car and determined it could not be repaired. I left the dealership in despair with major concern because the recall involves a chance of the jeep fuel tank leaking during a rear end collision which could result in a fire. Now as a mother and wife I cannot imagine continuing to drive the vehicle knowing the at any given time I could lose my car and possibly the life of me and my family. Please help me by addressing the issue of how chrysler plan to handle this recall. I strongly feel it should not be ignored by suggesting me to continue driving a vehicle that pose such a great danger . Your attention is greatly appreciated. Updated 11/02/15.
From the time I received the recall notice I have been trying to resolve the issue. I called when first received the recall, then again in june and spoke to a jennifer, stated that the part was on back order and that I was in the 100 and they were on 30. I asked what I should do during the waiting time and she said to try not to get hit. I called again the beginning of september and jennifer stated that I should receive a part or call in a few days. It is now september 14 and I have not heard anything about fixing or setting up an appointment for fixing the jeep. I have three children that ride in my jeep, I do not have a choice but to drive it, all I can do is pray that I do not get hit from behind one day and cause the gas explosion that could occur do to manufacturing issues.

I was driving down the street when the diesel jeep stalled. Luckily I was able to get to the side of the street. I checked and there was air in the diesel fuel line. When I used the pump to prime it fuel started leaking around the heating element electrical fitting. When I pulled the fitting you could see charring around the end. The vehicle now gets air in the lines and stalls all the time. I have pulled the electrical connection because I am afraid of fire.
This has been happening since the jeep was brand new. There is no auto-stop when filling the jeep. Up to a gallon, or more, will spill out if you cannot stop it in time. This causes fuel to get all over the vehicle and the person pumping the fuel. We have talked with the dealer about this problem repeatedly (in two states - new jersey and maine) and it seems there is nothing they can (or will) do. We cannot be the only one with this issue.
I bought this used vehicle 2 years ago. It currently has a recall on the gas tank. The way the dealership "fixes" this recall is to install a trailer hitch, which is laughable, at best. The testing agencies have proven that a trailer hitch is only minimally effect up to 25 MPH and not effective at greater speeds. I requested the dealership "work with me" so that I could buy a safer vehicle from them. They are only willing to offer me the same trade-in amount as if I were trading vehicle solely because I want a new vehicle. I would keep this vehicle, if it were safe. I've contacted metal manufacturing businesses and requested that they build me a safe, strong gas tank and bumper to replace that which is currently in the vehicle. I am willing to pay the price to make this vehicle safe. The manufacturing facilities have refused to build any parts for me because the liability, after an accident, would revert to them rather than the burden being on jeep. I have told the dealership that I have a safety problem but they don't seem to think I should get any financial consideration when trading in an unsafe vehicle that can not be made safe either by me or by jeep. They will only offer me less than kelly blue book for trade in and have taken $1,000.00 of the retail price of the new vehicle. This is inadequate considering they sold me an unsafe vehicle which can not be fixed. The dealership is darlings; po box 277; brewer, maine 04412-0277. Phone: 207‑669‑6570.
