I received a recall n46/the federal safety agency 13v‑252 in january that said I would need to contact my dealer in order to get the fuel tank leakage issue fixed. I have called dealers repeatedly and they keep saying that they do not have the parts available. It has been five months and that is too long to wait. The recall notice stated that if the dealer fails to remedy this defect wihin a reasonable time, I may submit a written complaint to this website. That is what I am doing now. Please let me know what further steps I need to take to ensure the safety of my family while driving this defective vehicle.
2006 Jeep Liberty fuel system complaints

I purchased a 2006 jeep liberty summer of 2013 and the first time I filled it up, the fuel overflowed onto the back fender and onto the ground. I have experienced this numerous times when attempting to fill the tank fully. It results in a mess at best and a fire hazard at worst. This appears to be a known issue, yet has not been addressed for resolution. I would say this is definitely a safety hazard and risk. Please consider action.

Had recall notice for installing a trailer hitch. Took to midway jeep in kearney ne. On february 3 2014 and they told me that they had to order a hitch. As of today may 5,2014, I still don't have a hitch installed.
Vehicle overflows when being filled. On 6 may vehicle was taken to dealer for correction. Dealer replace evap nvld and canister ($446.00). Problem not solved. Taken back to dealer,still not repaired. Called chrysler(1‑800‑853‑1403) and was informed no problems reported. Checked on internet and individuals are having same problem. Sounds like a problem that should be fixed due to a fire hazard and not have customer pay.

Thought I was the only one until I came here...I didn't know it was a place to file a complaint.. If I fill up my car it does not automatically stop .. The first time this happened I mean the gas just spewed everywhere like all over me ... On the ground on the car... I just so afraid thought it was a defective nozzle for the gas pump...nope... It was my car. This is very concerning and I can never just fill my car with gas because even when full the gas will just continue pouring.

I filled up at 2 different gas stations about 300 miles apart and the same problem occurred. I set the automatic stop and the pump automatically shuts off. I go to remove the handle about 2-3 seconds later and gas comes spewing out all over the side of the jeep and onto the ground. There seems to be a reoccurring problem with thousands of liberty owners. Many people I have talked to tell me that there is no permanent fix for this and I have to live with it. I have owned about 10 different vehicles in my time and not a single one of them ever had this problem. I will not stand for the "there is no permanent fix" bs anymore. This is a design flaw by chrysler inc and needs to be addressed as the owners are at risk of injury and the gas stations are at risk of fire and the general public are at risk as well. Something needs to be done by chrysler, if not I will report them to the better business bureau.

My original intent was to file a complaint about a gas overflow issue, but after seeing all the other liberty complaints, I have included other issues I have: 1. For at least two years, when pumping gas, the gas has continued to flow even after the automatic flow has shut off. I now stand at the pump and when I think it is getting full, I start pumping by hand to avoid the overflow. After checking on the internet, this is an issue other liberty owners experience. I did receive the initial recall notice for 13v‑252, but nothing since to say the part is in. Since the gas overflow is experienced by many owners, is this part of the recall? 2. Check engine light is always on. It has been re-set many times; is ok for a day or two and then re-appears. Per owner's manual, this is not an issue unless the light is flashing, which it is not, but why does this continue to occur? 3. Both back electric windows have fallen down without warning. Both are now secured in place with tape, as it would be too expensive to repair. 4. The back left door will not open from the inside.
This started aprox 3 years ago. When filling the gas tank to full, the pump would kick off and then gas would always spit back and overflow on to the ground (scary) to avoid this, I stopped filling the tank to full and only to 3/4 full and the problem stopped. But now, I can't add fuel without gas shooting back all over the place even when the tank has low fuel. The only way fuel can be added without getting drenched in gas, is to find a pump that you can feather the on/off handle to run slow enough so it's barely adding fuel, then it will not back up. It takes at least 20 minutes at the pump to add 10 gallons of gas. Unfortunately I gave this vehicle to my 20 year old daughter and she is scared to add fuel so I have to do it. Also, I've had to replace the clock spring and the "gas cap" light never shuts off. I took it to the dealer for clock spring issues and the part was not available so she drove it for months with the warning lights on and the part is still not available but the lights have now shut off.... The gas cap warning could not be fixed by the dealer so that stays on all the time. But this fueling problem is a serious issue.
Fuel system nozzle allows fuel to be expelled after pump auto shutoff engages causing fuel to spill on vehicle and onto pavement.
First - my vehicle is under recall and has been for 6 months and jeep does not have parts available - under rear end crash a fire can happen from gas tank - jeep supposed to put a hitch on vehicle however does not have the parts. They cannot give me a date of when those parts might be available. Secondly, my gas tank spills over whenever it is filled at gas station.....I was told there was a valve problem that would mean a gas tank replacement at my own cost. This is what I was told in 1-11-2012.
