Fuel splashes back when filler nozzle shuts off,damaging clothes and spilling fuel onto the ground, in addition to damaging vehicle paint.
Fuel spills out after filling up at gas station. I am not "topping off". I allow the pump to stop automatically while holding pump and a sizeable amount of gas gurgles out when it is done. Huge safety issue.
Fuel overflow issue. When fueling vehicle as the tank gets full and the gas pump clicks off, fuel spews out of filler tube onto side of vehicle and the ground. This seems like a safety and environmental issue. Happens every time filling up the tank. Dealer wanted $813 + tax to repair/replace fuel tank.
My girlfriends 2007 jeep liberty consistently over flows when refueling. I am an experienced mechanical engineer and after researching this problem I suspect this is a design flaw and a significant safety hazard. Strongly recommend you look at this right away.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. The contact was entering a parking space when the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer and they advised him that the fuel pump had failed and would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired for the fuel pump. The manufacturer was contacted and they offered a reimbursement. In addition, the contact stated that when driving at low speeds and attempting a turn, the steering would become hard to maneuver. The vehicle was later inspected by a dealer and they advised her that the rack and pinion and the power steering pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired for the pump alone. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000. Updated 06/16/11 *bf updated 2/03/2012 *ln

2007 jeep liberty - fuel overflow issue. When fueling vehicle and gas pump kicks off, fuel spews out of filler tube onto side of vehicle and the ground. This is clearly a safety and environmental issue.
Gas spurts out of my 2007 jeep liberty fuel tank at every gas station when the tank is almost full. This is not due to human error, the gas pumps do not stop fast enough even when holding it in correctly. This appears to be a faulty gas neck or gas tank part for the 2007 jeep liberty.
Fuel overflows out of filler tube on 2007 jeep liberty each time I fill it up. Pumping fuel at a low rate doesn't solve problem. This occurs when attempting to fill the tank normally (not attempting to top of the tank after gas station pump shuts off) fuel overflow occurs at different pumps, so it is not unique to a particular gas station or pump. This appears to be a common issue on jeep liberties and also other dodge, chrysler vehicles.

Fuel tank overflows when filling at pump. Expels about one quart of fuel.
I own a 2007 jeep liberty and have a consistent problem with gas pumps not shutting off at any of the stations where I have purchased gas. This issue started a few months ago and at first I just assumed it was related to a particular pump, but have found that it overflows no matter where I purchase gas. I believe that this is a serious danger and certainly an environmental issue especially when such efforts are made to even control vapor emissions on modern vehicles. I have contacted chrysler but they said that there is nothing they can do about it. I have done some research online and found this to be a very common problem with jeeps. I'm concerned about the environmental issue, but am more anxious about the safety issue this causes. It's bad enough to ruin clothing, but I hate to think about other worse scenarios such as a fire or having gas sprayed in someone's face. I believe that it should be covered as part of an emissions and customer safety related service campaign, but chrysler disagrees with me.
2007 jeep liberty gas began overflowing after gas tank fill up and pump auto shut off. The gas flies out. It happens every time now. It doesn't matter how far the nozzle is in or which gas station.
My jeep liberty jerks between 35-55 MPH and 1400-1500 rpms. This has caused the car to slip and slid on icy roads. I first noticed it with only 200 miles on the car. It has been into the shop 7 times for this problem. They have reprogrammed the computer, replaced the fuel pump and the problem is still there. Chrylser said this is normal. I have another jeep and it does not do this. This is becoming a dangerous problem with the icy conditions where I live.
The 2007 jeep liberty sport my parents and 3 year old child were in was t-boned on the passenger side by another car that was traveling at approx. 45 MPH upon impact, resulting in the jeep rolling over several times. The other car struck the jeep directly in the middle, causing the middle section to cave in, forcing the passenger seat into the dash/glove compartment. The rear axle on the passenger side separated from the frame, the drive-train separated, the gas tank ruptured, and the rear shock springs came off. The person seated in the front pass. Seat sustained a spinal fracture and brain hemorrhaging. The driver sustained internal bruising/damage from hitting the steering wheel, ultimately breaking the steering column. All occupants were wearing their seat belts.
