2008 Jeep Liberty fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 156, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When fueling the gas spits back onto the car and attendant on fill-ups since I live in nj we don't pump are own gas so my attention was on the attendant. The attendant explained to me that this happens to a lot of the jeep products and after researching it does seem like a chronic problem that somehow doesn't meet the safety level for the nhtsb to issue the proper recall? I'm dumbfounded
Several years ago there was a recall on my fuel tank for gas over spilling while fueling the car. That was replaced but now I can't fill my tank completely because when I do the inside of my car smells of gas fumes from the tank up to the front seat. There is also an issue with the car staling at a stop or the ignition having trouble catching when I crank the car.
When filling this vehicle with gas, gas with spew out all over the car and the person holding the nozzle that is still in the gas tank. No matter what gas station used/pump and no matter how slow or fast it is going. I do not " top off". The spillage can be between a cup to a half gallon for no reason in particular. This is a very dangerous issue and needs to be resolved.I have to guess each time how much to put in so I can limit the amount of fuel spillage. This has been happening for years with no resolution.
Fuel system, after filling tank with gas vehicle stalls after driving away from pump. Vehicle stalls in traffic, at light and in intersections after filling up. My incidents have been many one time while merging into traffic from gas station, at a red light and has stalled right in middle of intersection with traffic. Unknown the problem but vehicle is hesitant to restart after the shut down for approxinately 1 minute.
The fuel tank support rusts out from the inside to a point that it seems very unlikely it would be structurally sound in the event of an accident. It is very concerning that this would not puncture the tank and be a cause of fire instead of protecting the tank as it is marketed to do. There has been no incident yet, but after an accident would not be the time to find out. Chrysler has reviewed this and will not take action.
Amongst other issues: vehicle fails to start occasionally, from both cold and warm states. From completely off, turning the key begins ignition but often does not start the vehicle. Engine sputters but does not complete the start. On some occasions, depressing the gas pedal while trying to start the vehicle works, leading me to believe this is one of the widely reported tipm issues plaguing jeeps from 2007-2014. I conclude the fuel pump fails to receive a signal to start from the tipm which causes the ignition failure. In addition, I have had multiple electrical issues including doors locking and unlocking when the opposite corresponding buttons are pressed, windshield wipers turning on when the turn signal is used, warning lights on the dashboard reporting non-issues, failure of power steering, and failure to accelerate when the gas pedal is depressed. Please address this issue as soon as possible.
I own a 2008 jeep liberty and every time I fill it the fuel comes ba k at me not just a little either it geisers out of the tank and have gotten to the point where I have to stand up wind not to be showered it has been doing this since I bought it

Purchased vehicle used in 2013 11/17/2015 1. Engine continues to run when key is removed from ignition switch. While parked. First noticed last week 11/08/2015 (only as long as the preset time on the radio shut off or the door is opened) 2. With cruise control set and going up hill, transmission down shifts to maintain speed. While trying to keep speed up and then break applied, excessive force is required to dis-engage cruise control. While driving at normal speeds. For as long as I can remember. (break switch has been changed twice) 3. While filling fuel tank at gas station, paying close attention to the pump, fuel will pour out from the filler neck after the pump has shut off. For as long as I can remember. (many occasions) 4. Check engine light continuously on. Possible damage to hoses on emissions canister in left rear wheel well due to gas spillage? (as long as I can remember) 5. Gas cap indicator comes on at start. Possible damage to hoses on emissions canister in left rear wheel well due to gas spillage? (need to manually turn off, changed gas cap twice) 6. It seems that all things electrical have a delay to their function, flashing high beams, honking horn... While parked or driving. For as long as I can remember. (all of the time)
When filling the vehicle with gas there is a "burp" that pushes gas out of the pipe to the tank. It's like the tank isn't venting, and building pressure when filling. This happens on evey fill-up. I thought the service station shut off were the problem, but after being on a web site, there are alot more with the same problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. Upon re-fueling the vehicle, the contact noticed excessive fuel leaking from the fuel tank. The vehicle was not inspected or diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,100.
1, all lights come on dash; check engine, 4wd, brake, ABS - all of them, each time I have it checked but the codes will not register stating not found 2. Roof leaks at back of cargo area with heavy rain or when vehicle gets washed 3,when adding fuel, doesnt automatically stop and gas spews out all over 4. Locks will randomly lock and unlock. 5. Radio will stop and start
Chemical burn due to fuel jetting out of the fill hole and spilling on the operator during refueling. It happens often if the operator is not overly cautious.
Gas spilled out of the filler tube during fill up and run down the rear quarter panel and ground.
When I fill up my gas tank, there is always a moderate amount of gas that comes out and goes down the side of my car. This has occurred at multiple different stations with all octane levels of gas. It ejects about .1-.2 gallons of gas from the fuel entrance. This occurs right before the automatic shut-off closes on the fuel pump.
I have 2 problems number1 is the gas mileage it gets the mileage it says on the internet but I feel that is bad fuel mileage I had a 2000 jeep grand cherokee with a v8 and got 25 miles per gallon on the high way you would think that a v6 would just as good or better but it is not .second problem is fuel spillage evrytime you fill up I have tried different things to try and stop the spillage but to no avail. I feel there should be a recall on this problem but there is no recalls for a 2008 jeep they had recalls on some older jeeps but not mine it would be nice to see something done about this problem.

While pumping gas, the pumped clicked (stopped) and gas spewed out the tank on vehicle, my hands, pants and shoes. This happened on more than one occasion. Today, 1-31-2015, gascap, indicator light came on. I tighten cap however, indicator light still on. Purchased a new gas cap but the new cap did not resolve the issue.
Gas spill when filling tank.
When pumping gas, the gas pump shuts off as expected however gasoline spews out of the jeep's filling system. Tried different pumps same results, this occurs without "topping off the tank". This I a serious safety hazard with gas spraying on my face,clothing and overflowing on my shoes, hands, vehicle and ground. I have been yelled at by gas station clerks because it is a safety hazard.
Bought this vehicle used. Each of the two times we have filled up the tank with gas the tank has overflowed spilling an estimated pint of gas out of the tank and down the exterior of the vehicle and onto the ground. Each time gas has spilled onto the driver as well. Researching this issue it appears that replacing the gas tank resolves this issue. I feel this is a dangerous safety issue that should be addressed with a recall. Ref. Service bulletin no.: sb-14-003-13, the federal safety agency id number: 10052148.
Gas tank overflows at fill up. Always at costco and many other stations. Attendants have attempted to pump for me and had same results stating that it is a common problem for jeeps.
Whenever I fill the gas tank the gas pump clicks off when the tank is full, but gas surges up the spout and dumps on the ground. This has nothing to do with the type of gas (premium or regular, or ethanol or no ethanol) or the setting on the pump handle (fast or slow). This is a fire, explosion risk as well as an environmental problem. I really don't expect you to do anything until after people are hurt or killed, but when that happens I want to be able to say "you knew about the problem, and didn't care".
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign id number:13v252000 (fuel system, gasoline and structure) but was advised by the dealer that the parts needed to complete the repair were not available. The contact received the notice several months ago. The manufacturer was also contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the recall repair would be performed. There are no failures at this time.

The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign id number 13v252000 (fuel system, gasoline structure) and stated that the required part was not available to perform the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The contact had not experienced a failure.
When the tank is almost full the gas will come spewing out and go all over this happens all the time the nozzle does not shut off it not the station I fill at various stations.
Check engine light come on and gas cap light also come on the auto start will not work & dash light gets real dime also GPS light get real dime/ and there is a real strong smell of gas that comes inside the vehicle while going down the road. The vehicle has been to 4 difference chrysler dealer ship and computer has been replaced sensor have all been replaced gas tank replaced gas cap replaced .this vehicle has been for these problem 11 times and has never been fixed called chrysler customer service 6 different times all we get is the run around . The dealer ships drive the vehicle and have put 1,500 mile on the vehicle driving it. Need some know to why this can not be fixed.
Every time I fuel up, if I leave it filling up automatically, gas spews out when it gets to full and goes everywhere. Even if I am trying to watch the gallons and stop before it gets to full, it still spews everywhere. I thought this was specific to my vehicle, but I've now seen hundreds of reports on the internet regarding the very same issues with this year and model of jeep, plus many other years and models.
2008 jeep liberty 4x4 purchased used with 18,000 miles. When re-fueling the pump will shut off automatically and gas will burp out every time. Sometimes it is a lot of gas and very dangerous. I've seen this issue all over the internet. Why isn't something being done about this?
