Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. While the contact was filling the fuel tank, the fuel pump sensor did not alert her that the tank was full. As a result, fuel spewed out of the tank.

Driving my 2011 jeep liberty with 54,000 miles at 8am saturday june 10 2017 at 50mph on a rural road. Without warning, the dashboard lights up, tachometer goes crazy, and the car died. The battery is 8 months old, there's no power at all to the cabin. It's not a fuel pump issue, the car is died at 50mph. Fortunately, I was able to pull off onto the shoulder. All indications is that it's the tipm totally integrated power module. Which dodge knows is an issue and you all have denied as an issue. I had to have the car towed to a local shop, there was no starting it. It was actually drug up onto the flatbed because the transmission was locked in park. Turning the key did nothing to free the shift lever. Car complaints.com speaks loudly and clearly to the tipm. When I opened the hood, there is a relay clicking away, I removed and replaced that relay, no change to the dead liberty.

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.
