Purchased 2007 jeep liberty and fuel is expelled from fuel fill line upon filling tank. I am amazed that based on all the online incidents reported this is not a safety recall.

When filling gas, the gas splashes back on the pumpers hand and fender.
I was driving back to salisbury, md from washington dc when I heard wind coming into my jeep. I checked all my windows in be sure they were up but the noise continued. When I visually checked the windows I found the driver side rear window all the way down. I pulled over to check it and found that the window would not roll back up electrically. I had to drive 3 hours with the back driver's side window down. I had this window repaired for the same thing 2 years ago and now again. Just this year in april I had to spend money to fix the driver side window due to the same problems. And each time it was the regulator and only once did jeep refund me my money. The other problems is the gas. When the jeep is full it doesn't cut off, the gas spills all down the side of the car regardless.

The contact did not experience the failure; however she was concerned that she could be crashed into from the rear due to fast moving traffic. The failure and current mileage was 34,000.
I bought the jeep from a friend last fall and this problem didn't exist until about 4 months after I had it. I always fill my tank when I stop for fuel and the first time this happened, while the tank was filling, I washed the windows. When it was almost full (I could tell by the amount on the pump), I grabbed the nozzle and got ready to squeeze the last bit in by hand after it shut off. Well, it didn't shut off and gas came pouring out, all over the vehicle, splashing my clothes and shoes! I thought it was an issue with the pump, so I brought it to the attendants attention & washed the side of the jeep off. Next time I went to a different station & the same thing happened, so I didn't 'set' the pump handle anymore....I held it myself and put my ear close so I could hear when it was almost full. Most of the time it worked, but it still came spewing out other times. The other night while having dinner with friends, one of the gals that works at dmv, who also has a liberty, told me about the recalls on my model jeep. I called my local dealership and he proceeded to tell me that the one had already been taken care of the month before I picked it up and the gas tank issue didn't apply to my model! Are you kidding me???? I just finished telling him that it spews gas out every time I fill up if I'm not extremely careful with how full it gets! I can't tell you how much money I've lost from this issue 'that doesn't apply to my model'!!! Not to mention the damage I'm sure it's doing to the finish (even though I try to get it all off)! Not a happy camper and don't know that I'll ever buy another jeep if this is the way they handle dangerous issues!

Since I have purchased the car used from a dealership, there have been two recurrent problems with it. I have taken it to multiple dealerships and independent mechanics, and none can fix these two issues: 1.) when filling the gas tank at the gas station, the gas doesn't "shut off" when the tank is filled. The gas spills out over the side of the car almost every time I fill the tank - it does not matter the gas station. I was told to deal with it. 2.) my driver side front window does not work - it never has. I can roll it down, but when I try to have it close it comes out of track and gets stuck. I have even had it in under warranty to dealerships twice or three times (in addition to two independent mechanics' reviews) in which I was even reimbursed for a fix - that never worked. I have been told by all of these mechanics that there is nothing that can be done. Please note I am estimating when this started, as I cannot seem to remember the date of purchase - it is around the year 2009. I did buy the car used, and it is a 2007. I bought it with approximately 40,000 miles. If needed I can find paperwork for the exact date of purchase.
This is common problem with the liberty, basically the fuel overflows from the tank neck when filling it at the gas station. Visit www.jeepforum.com to see other users with the same problem.
When filling my gas tank to full, the fuels flows out of the filler tube before the pump shuts off, chrysler acknowledged this by sending out a extended warranty on the effected parts for some owners of 07 and 08 models, but refuses to issues the same to my 07 jeep liberty. What gives?
When fueling my 2007 jeep liberty, once the tank reaches the full point it burps out approximately 1 to 3 cups of gas with enough force to spill on me, if I am not standing to the side. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they where aware of this problem and stated no recall was in effect. I feel this is a very dangerous manufacturer defect that should be taken care of by recall. The dealer stated that the fuel canister and esim switch need to be replace for the cost of $250.00. As a retired firefighter I am surprised that this situation has not be addressed the federal safety agency.due to the potential of gas spills and potential fire at gas stations. Not to mention epa impacts.
Whenever I go to fill up my jeep, after the pump kicks off, gas spews out all over the side of it. I have filled up at different gas stations and it does it at all of the.
This is a complaint about the fuel issue that I have seen on here already.when I go to put fuel into the gas tank, it will not stop at the end as it's filling up. It just overflows. I would say at least a few cups of fuel flows down the side of the jeep and down into the bottom of the vehicle and wheel well. I know that at some point it will lead to rust/corrosion among many other issues. I really wish this could be looked at and possibly fixed by manufacturer. It doesn't make sense that there are more than enough complaints about the same issue, with no help from the manufacturer. I also have the same problems as others with the windows. The regulator has a piece that breaks and then the whole regulator has to be replaced. This has happened 3 times already on different windows. Lastly, I just recently had an issue where the jeep wouldn't start. The console lights and guages work fine and it acted like all was well, but the car wouldn't turn over when the key was turned. The result was the ignition switch actuator pin. It has a piece that breaks off and when that happens, the jeep wont be able start. It isn't an easy fix for someone who isn't mechanically capable. Again, this is an issue that has happened to many people and honestly the manufacturer should do something about this. I could complain about more, but let's just leave it at that.
I bought this vehicle used from a local dealership in october of 2012, when I went to fill the fuel tank the fuel filler neck did not register when it was full causing gasoline to splash back out on myself, vehicle, and ground. I emailed daimler chrysler jeep in regards to this and was told there was no recalls and even if there were my vehicle was to old. I find this a safety issue as well as an environmental issue and feel it should be corrected.
Everytime I fill the gas tank, it does not shut off when the fuel reaches the nozzle. The gas shoots out and runs down the car. It has got on my clothes and is very dangerous. This needs to be fixed. I hope you can get the problem addressed soon.
On our 2007 jeep liberty sport gasoline spews out everytime we fill it if we do not slow the filling up when we think the tank may becoming near full. Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do it spews out gasoline onto the car and the person filling it. We never put it on auto turn off when filling the gas tank because it will spew out. This happens at any gas station in several states. This dangerous to the person filling the tank, to those at the gas station, and to the environment. A safety recall by chrysler jeep ought to be put in motion since many others have posted the same problem.
Every time I fill up with gasoline it spits back a pint or more down the side of the body when the auto shutoff trips. I see this as a safety hazard, a waste of expensive fuel, and damaging to the environment.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel spilled out from the filler neck. As a result, fuel spilled onto the side of the vehicle and the ground. The vehicle had not been taken to the dealer. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 31,000 and the current mileage was 39,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. The contact stated that whenever refueling to full capacity, the fuel would continuously overflow from the filler neck valve and onto the ground. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis. The contact was uncertain of the part which needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. The contact stated that while he was refueling, all the fuel spewed out from the filler neck and became uncontrollable. The vehicle was not diagnosed by the dealer. The manufacturer was contacted and advised the contact that there were no recalls for the vehicle. The failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 35,000.
When refueling our 2007 jeep liberty, fuel overflows after fuel pump automatic shutoff is triggered. This overflow now occurs every time vehicle is refueled. No one is attempting to "top off" the fuel tank. The overflow causes a quantity of fuel, which I estimate at two to four cups, to spill on the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. This fuel overflow flaw creates an extreme fire hazard and environmental contamination risk. This flaw occurs in the wrangler model of chrysler jeep products also, where a recall has been issued. The same flaw is occurring in many thousands of jeep liberty's as is evident by the huge volume of owner statements posted on many websites. This was an occasional problem that has now become consistent. It is impossible to predict and without a recall notice, consumers are unaware of this hazard. This flaw creates a safety hazard for the person refueling the vehicle and anyone nearby (specifically my children who are often with me when fueling our jeep). The fuel spilled has caused property damage in the form of ruined clothing and shoes, and possibly damage to the vehicle as fuel runs down the side into crevices around the rear wheel and axle. Why would the manufacturer cover this flaw under warranty for one make and model, the jeep wrangler, and not cover the identical problem for another make and model, the jeep liberty? It's the same problem created by the same manufacturer.
Beginning at approximately 35,000 miles on the vehicle, fuel would spit-back immediately after the fuel nozzle shut off. The amount of fuel spit back was significant, drenching the lower half of the person fueling the vehicle. At first, we thought this might be an issue with the fueling pump, but found it repeated itself at every pump and at every station we utilized. It does not seem to depend on rate of fueling, as even attempting to fuel slowly results in a dangerous spit back of fuel and potential drenching of the individual. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer and a defective valve in the fuel tank was diagnosed as the cause of the problem. Interestingly, after reporting the labor charge of $200 to investigate the issue, we were told that they have seen a number of jeeps with this problem. One would think common problems could be found without this level of labor. The valve in question cannot be obtained as an individual unit and the entire fuel tank must be replaced at the cost of approximately $900. Given that numerous other chrysler vehicles of this year, including wrangler, dodge durango, liberty, and other models across the chrysler, dodge, and jeep brand exhibit this problem and that lacking significant moving parts, one cannot justify a fuel tank component failure after 35,000 miles, this issue is unquestionable a design failure. Given the immediate hazard of fire, long term health risks, and environmental impact of repeated events of fuel spit back from these vehicles requires intervention.
Gas spills out every time it is filled up-not just a dribble but probably a cup full.
Since the first day that I purchased my vehicle, when filling the gas tank, it overflows and a lot of fuel comes spilling out of the filler neck.
Jeep: the fuel spits back during refueling. 2007 liberty.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the while refueling to capacity, the cap would not shut off the fuel, causing fuel to leak onto the ground. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and assisted the contact with repairs to the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 36,000 and the current mileage was 88,000.
Extreme blow back and spilling onto ground when filling fuel at gas station pump.
This is a fuel overflow issue. When I am fueling the jeep as the tank gets full and the gas pump clicks off, fuel spills out of filler tube onto side of vehicle and the ground. This seems like a safety problem with raw gas all over the ground. When the jeep was new this didn't happen, now it happens every time I fill the tank up.
