Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 12v085000 (suspension) and 13v252000 (fuel system, gasoline, structure); however, the parts to do the repairs were not available.

Parts distribution disconnect.
Almost every time I fill-up, there is a splash-back from the fuel filler opening. This apparently is a very common problem with the liberty model among others. I spoke with the service department at the dealership and was told that I would need to pay for any repairs since there was no recall that would pay for it. I then contacted chrysler who told me that my specific liberty is not part of any recall or tsb so they cannot help. I believe this problem poses a hazard if the gas was to ignite. The most recent occurrence was on 26 february 2016.
Ever single time I fill up my gas tank it overflows. This is not anything new. The model of my car one year after has a fuel tank recall so why isn't there one for the 200 kj jeep liberty.
The gas tank is improperly designed, while pumping gas it will not properly shut off, will spray gas which is clearly dangerous.

The filler neck in failing on my jeep liberty 2007 and it is a safety issue! When I fill up my tank with gas, the automatic shut off occurs and when I remove the nozzle, gas spits back at me. At first it would happen after the tank was full, now it is happening after only filling up 2 gal (when on empty!).
Jeep is refusing to provide or manufacture the trailer hitch required to protect the fuel tank!
When refueling, gas spills out before the automatic shutoff occurs.

Fuel discharges out of fuel filler neck while fueling. Fuel pours out all over the side of the car and does not automatically shut off.
I purchased a car from u.s. Auto sales in columbia, south carolina on june 12th 2015. The evening I took the car home the gas gauge was not at the empty mark and the car shut off and the check engine light came on. I took it back to the dealership and informed them of this and they proceeded to tell me that it is an ongoing chrysler issue and to not let the gas tank to get below a quarter tank. They proceeded to reset the check engine light. 2 weeks later the check engine light came on again. So I took to a local auto store to have a diagnostics run and was informed that a wheel bearing was needed, a catalytic converter and a fuel line because at a certain level the gas will not reach the engine. Today in south carolina the temperature is well over 100 degrees and while I was driving my air conditioner stopped working. I have had more issues out of this car within the 30 days I have had it. I did purchase a warranty only to be told that I would have to bear some of the cost to fix a vehicle I just purchased. I am now waiting on a call from their mechanic once he gets the parts in to do the repairs. I believe I was knowingly sold a lemon. I was also told that if I had any issues with the car to bring it in and I will be given a loaner car. Well when I did bring it in I was basically told to get in line and wait because they had no loaner vehicles. Now I am basically stuck with a vehicle with no air and if the gas get past a half tank the car will shut off and if not repaired soon could potentially blow up with me and my children in it. Yes I have called the dealer to request another vehicle and was basically brushed off and told no.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the contact heard an abnormal grinding sound coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle made a vibrating motion. The failure recurred several times intermittently. The contact also stated that there was a knocking sound from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000. The consumer was informed there was a knocking noise coming from the engine. The windows regulators were replaced several times, gas over flows, when pumping gas. Updated 07/20/15.
When pumping gas and it shuts off automatically gas spews out like a volcano from the gas tank. It's so bad that the gas attendant has had to come over and put absorbent material on top of the gas spill and we've had to wash down our car so it won't eat the paint. I contacted jeep who told me there is no recall on this particular vehicle, but this is a problem with other jeep models and there is a current recall on those models. It sounds like they need to expand their recall to include the 2007 jeep liberty's that have this problem. Thank you.

When filling the gas tank the sensor that indicates the tank is full is defective. When it shuts off the gas pump, gas spews out of the tank heavily, getting on auto, ground and person. I spoke to chrysler about this problem and they said they are aware of this defect but have not issued a recall. They further advised that I would be responsible for all repair expenses if I choose to have the tank replaced. This is a serious defect that chrysler should fix. The jeep liberty has poorly designed gas tanks, they spew gas upon filling and catch fire upon rear impact. Chrysler should be made to correct these issues and stop offering patches, I. E. Hitches that help protect gas tanks in rear contact/impact under 40 MPH, that don't protect the consumer from serious bodily harm and/or death. These risk need to eliminated, not pacified!

2007 jeep liberty. Consumer writes in regards to rear structure reinforcement recall notice. *smd the consumer stated the dealer refused to address the matter in a reasonable time. The consumer was informed the part was not available.
I received a safety recall notice # n46/the federal safety agency 13v‑252 last year stating the fuel tank on my vehicle has a chance of experiencing a fuel leak and requires inspection and installation of an oem trailer hitch, free of charge to better manage crash forces in low-speed impacts. Over the course of several months, I have made several attempts to resolve this matter with the following dealer with no success. I am repeatedly told the "parts are still not in", so they cannot help me. It has now been over 6 months with no resolution. Tuttle-click 40 auto center drive irvine, ca 949‑472‑7400
Fuel gushes out of tank everytime it is filled up. Happens at all gas stations. Needs to be recalled. Safety risk and also environmental risk.
When pumping gas, fuel gushes out when refueling is done.
Every time I fill up for gas, the automatic shutoff is triggered too late and a significant amount of gas spills out of the car, soaking the side of the car, the pump handle, the ground around it, and anyone standing next to the tank. This creates a significant risk of fire, and is also harmful for the environment. There was no attempt to top off the tank.

2007 jeep liberty safety recall-trailer hitch reimbursement. *mw the consumer stated chrysler denied his request for reimbursement for the trailer hitch he had installed.
While refueling the vehicle, the auto gasoline shutoff failed to work and gas spilled all over the vehicle and ground. This has happened several times and appears to be a defect. Our chrysler town & country works fine at the same gas station.
