There has been a recall issued for the same issue and same vehicle model: Jeep Liberty KK, which runs from 2008-12. However, the recall only covers year 2008.

On friday, 07.07.2017, as I was driving into a turn lane from the hwy, I had slowed way down for traffic then picked up speed slightly, not even 10 MPH, to follow cars in the turn lane when the accelerator became sluggish and the jeep came to a stop. As I pressed the accelerator again there was a very loud pop from under the hood. Everything quit, the engine, the electric, the starter would not turn over when I tried to start it again or the emergency flashers. Just before this happened the engine light and, what I found out later, the electronic throttle control light came on. I was confused at what just happened. Thinking what I saw next was steam coming from under the jeep was steam I popped the hood to go look. There was traffic all around on the hwy. Once I opened the hood I found the engine compartment was on fire, back against the firewall between the engine and the steering column, behind the battery. The fire got bigger once the hood was open, it spread very fast. People in other cars were yelling and a guy stopped to help me and told me to get away from the jeep because it was gas that was burning. The fire dept was called yet by the time they got there the whole front end of the jeep was destroyed.

I've noticed that my vehicle was having an issuing accelerating lately. I went for my routine oil change and was told the fuel pump needs to be replace and it would be the reason for the issue with accelerating. The mechanic stated that it is really common with the jeeps and unfortunately the part is not expensive but the labor is because they need to remove the engine to replace it. If it is as common as a problem as the mechanic states, why is there no recall? I see there is a recall on jeep liberties for a similar issue for 2002-2007. Could there still possibly be this issue in the 2009 models as well?

Fuel inlet check valve in gas tank fails, resulting in fill flow back out of the tank when filling vehicle with gasoline. There is no indication when this valve fails except when filling the vehicle, gas comes shooting out, pouring all over the vehicle and the ground. This causes a risk for fire and is an environmental hazard. Unsuspecting consumers may be covered in gasoline if they are standing next to the vehicle at the time of failure.

Gas tank will not shut off when fill point is reached. Took it to dealer, was told "warped tank" costs $1015.00 for replacement ! Obviously I am not the only owner with this problem. Dealer said part would be backordered because none were available & I should keep checking recalls because there must be a problem if no parts. This is my third jeep. Might be my last.

Environmental & safety issue. Fuel spits back during fill. Tsb issued (14-003-13) and warranty bulletin (d-003-13). Chrysler refused to cover repair expense due to mileage @ 95,000 (chrysler case [xxx]. Ground is saturated in gas every time I fill the tank and all over me. Do we have to wait for a gas station explosion before this is a recall? Why hasn't the federal safety agency gone after this environmental and safety issue?
