Filed Apr 12, 2020 · Fuel system · 101,000 miles · MI

Rollover protection valve in the fuel tank has failed and gas pours out of the filler neck when filling the vehicle with fuel. After the pump shuts off, fuel pours out of the filler neck and onto the person fueling the vehicle. This is an issue that is being repaired under extended warranty for previous model years but not the 2010 model year, even though it is the same issue.

So this is a huge safety concern I have came across, this is outraged the company hasn't had any sort of recall across all platforms of this gas tank. I have read numerous gas tank, overflow forums, and numerous youtube video of "gas burp" is the nickname, where when pumping gas. The custom like myself may be inclind to like any car, once the gas unleaded is selected, and gas cap out, and inserted into it normal slot. It fills normally, as the gas tank fills no sound is heard, and lastly once the gas pump clicks off inserting the gas. It should be done, not with my tank my tank at any gas station, at any location, any brand, of circle k, bp, mobile, shell, qt? They all overflow my car!. This spill isn't a light spill, this I'd a major quarter of a gas tank still every time. All over the side of the car and the ground and jeep and dealership response, is you have to pay 3k to replace the whole gas tank. Which is outrageous for a safety issue of dumping gas all over the ground. There has been recalls on 2007 models, of jeeps and dodge durango. But my car in specific like many others in the 2005-2012 range are experiencing is. A dodge flaw of the gas tank, it is the plunger system to prevent backflow. Well the rubber stopper erodes to ethanol which is in gasoline. But I am here to add my concern if the issue at hand. I work for the department of transportation and to have cars spilling fuel out of the normal consumer use any time of the year, any temperature outside, and stations, and also any pump nozzle will do the repeated issue. I have evidence of this but even yourself can google gas burp chrysler type of vehicles and it is very common issue across forums and more. Best part is, the wear on the rubber ring is past warranty so it out of pocket customers who wil most likely just prefer to spill gas instead of coughing up the money to replace a whole gas fuel tank.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 jeep liberty. While attempting to fuel the vehicle, the contact noticed fuel leaking out underneath the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated before the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing, but not failures were found. The contact found a faulty check valve and paid for the repair. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed that the recall did not include his vehicle only the 2007-2008 models. The contact then took the vehicle back to the mechanic for the same failure a week later and was advised that a new fuel tank was needed. It was unknown if a dealer was contacted.

I started my 2010 jeep liberty and it started revving up on its own, my foot was not on gas and it just kept revving up. I put it in drive with my foot on the brake and it took off on its own while both my feet were on the break. I put it in neutral and turned it off for a few minutes. When I restarted it, it continued to rev up on its own.

Every time when I fill the fuel tank, whether I use the automatic shutoff or not, fuel burps/spills from the fuel tank inlet. Over the course of six years, there has been a large waste of fuel and money. With this issue, the paint under the fuel tank inlet has begun to bubble and peel. This is totally unacceptable. This vehicle actually belongs to my wife, and, whenever she needs fuel, I am the one to deal with the issue as she is afraid to fill it. I have tried multiple techniques to no avail. There also has been multiple times I have returned home reeking of unleaded from the spillage on my shoes as well as my clothing. Many pairs of shoes have become unwearable because of this. I would love the opportunity to challenge anyone to fill this tank without spilling, not just a few drops, but many, many, many drops equivalent to cups. All we affected jeep owners want is acceptance of responsibility and a simple repair. The part should be extremely cheap, and I'm sure most owners would install the part themselves. Let's stop this complaining of the issue and just resolve it!!!

It will burp gas back of the filler nozzle. Tried different gas stations. Tried different types of pumps. On automatic fill-up it will cut off, then a big burp of gas spews out of the filler nozzle. Happens mostly in the cool weather, randomly in high temps (80f+). Dealer inspected said they could find no problem... Told me the only option would be a fuel tank replacement for around 1500 dollars. It is the same symptom the recall/warranty extension for 2008 jeep liberty's covered in the x46 lifetime warranty extension; however, this does not cover any other model years and this is happening in other model years. Thank you for your time looking into this matter.
