2010 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN EARLY 2013 FOR MY DAUGHTER. EVER SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED WE HAVE NOTED THE FOLLOWING: WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH THE GAS NOZZLE SET TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AS SOON AS THE TANK IS FULL THERE IS ALWAYS A FAIRLY LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS THAT SPLASHES BACK AND OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS OCCURS JUST AS THE TANK IS COMPLETELY FILL UP AND THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. IT IS ENOUGH GAS THAT IT CAN BE SEEN ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. THIS OBVIOUSLY PRESENTS A POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR FIRE AND IS VERY UNSETTLING. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE IN MANY JEEP MODELS (INCLUDING THE 2010 LIBERTY'S, BUT ALSO OTHER JEEP MODELS) DATING BACK TO AT LEAST THE MID-2000'S AND THAT THERE IS A RECALL AND COVERAGE FOR THIS TO BE REPAIRED (USUALLY INVOLVING A NEW GAS TANK) FOR MANY JEEP MODELS, BUT MY PARTICULAR MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL PER CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 50 MPH ON A PAVED HIGHWAY. THE AIR PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. A FEW SECONDS LATER THERE WAS A RUMBLE NOISE. I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED AT THE TIRES. ONE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT. I HAD THOUGHT I RAN OVER SOMETHING VERY LARGE CAUSING AN INSTANT FLAT. AFTER REMOVING THE TIRE, WE NOTED THAT THE TIRE WAS STILL GOOD. THE NUT HOLDING THE VALVE STEM/PRESSURE SENSOR IN HAD BROKEN. THE VALVE STEM/PRESSURE SENSOR COMPONENT WAS FOUND INSIDE THE TIRE. THE RESULT WAS A VERY LARGE GAP WHERE THE VALVE STEM WAS, ALLOWING THE TIRE TO INSTANTLY DEFLATE. WHEN CHECKING THE OTHER VALVE STEMS, ONE OF THE OTHER NUTS HOLDING THE VALVE STEMS IN WAS ALSO BROKEN. THE JEEP IS PARKED UNTIL WE CAN REMOVE ALL OF THE VALVE STEMS AND REPLACE THEM. WE WILL NOT DRIVE IT AS IT IS. WE WILL BE REPLACING THE VALVE STEM/PRESSURE SENSOR COMPONENT WITH THE OLD FASHION STYLE VALVE STEMS. I WOULD NOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE STOCK EQUIPMENT. I WOULD ALWAYS WORRY ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE VALVE STEM BROKE ON A FRONT TIRE GOING EXPRESSWAY SPEED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR

EVERY TIME GAS IS PUT INTO THE TANK , THE GAS WILL BE FORCIBLY BLOWN BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND BACK ONTO THE PERSON HOLDING THE GAS NOZZLE!! DOZENS OF CASES ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE THE SAME OCCURRENCE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS HAZARD THAT THE PUBLIC AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF. THANK YOU *TR

WHILE REFUELING, THE TANK WILL OVERFLOW AND BUBBLE OVER ONTO MY PAINT AND THE GROUND EVERY TIME I FILL UP. IT'S ROUGHLY A CUP OF FUEL EACH TIME. THIS IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM FOR ME AND SAFETY HAZARD. I'M PRETTY SURE OVERFLOWING GASOLINE ISN'T GOOD, AND IT IS DAMAGING TO THE PRODUCT (PAINT) AS WELL; THIS ISSUE IS A GROWING THEME WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES NEED A SERVICE BULLETIN POSTED FOR A SOLUTION. *TR

WAS PUTTING AFTER THE PUMP SHUT OFF, GAS CAME POURING OUT OF THE TANK DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. THIS IS THE MAYBE THE SIXTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, BUT LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. YOU WOULD THINK JEEP WOULD RECALL. *TR

I GOT THIS VEHICLE ON SEP 2013 WHEN TOOK IT FRONT THE DEALER I NOTICED FRONT END VIBRATION,CALL FOR APPOINTMENT WHEN ARRIVE TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT NEEDED NEW TIRES BOUGHT NEW TIRES AT LOCAL PEPBOYS,WHEN BACK WITH SAME PROBLEM,THEY THEN SAID AGAIN ARE THE TIRES WHEN THEY WERE NEW.THIS VIBRATION IS COMING FROM FRONT END IS VERY LOUD SOUNDS LIKE WHEEL BEARING THEY SAID THAT IS THE WAY THE CAR IS. ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED,STILL HAS VIBRATION NOW I NOTICE RIGHT FRONT TIRE IS WEARING ON OUT SIDE COULD BE THE CAMBER,NON OF THIS REPAIR WERE DONE AT DEALERSHIP EVEN UNDER WARRANTY I HAD TO PAID OUT MY POCKET I DON'T THINK IS RIGHT I AM DOING THE RESEARCH FOR THOSE LAZY MECHANICS ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORM AT PEPBOYS THEY SAID THE CAMBER ON RH TIRE CAN'T BE PERFORM CORRECTLY BECAUSE LOWER CONTROL ARM DOESN'T MOVE OUT NO MORE . NOW WHEN TURNING THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT THE WHEELS SEEMS TO BE TOUCHING,SCRATCHING SOMETHING VERY HARD TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN AFTER SHOWING THAT I PERFORMED AND ALIGNMENT AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS I THINK IS UNSAFE BECAUSE WHEN I AM TURNING VEHICLE SEEMS TO SLOW DOWN OR SOMETHING IS HOLDING IT BACK I NOTICE THAT FRONT LEFT BRAKE HOSE IS RUBBING THE REAR OF SUSPENSION FORK AT BOTTOM OF CONTROL ARM WHEN TURNING LEFT THERE IS SIGNS OF WEAR ON BRAKE HOSE SAME IS HAPPENING ON RIGHT COULD BE EXCESSIVE TURNING RADIUS ON THIS JEEPS THAT IS WHY MAY BE CAUSING THIS RUBBING NOISE PUTTING STRESS ON CV AXLE OR BEARING. *TR

GAS POURS OUT OF TANK AFTER AUTO SHUT-OFF. EVERY PLACE. EVERY TIME,SO IT IS NOT THE GAS PUMP'S PROBLEM. AFTER READING ALL THESE REVIEWS, THERE IS A DEFINITE PROBLEM HERE. *JS

FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS EVERYTIME I FILL MY FUEL TANK IT OVERFLOWS DRAMATICALLY. WHILE FILLING THE TANK I ALWAYS FOLLOW THE PRESCRIBED SAFETY MEASURES - I DO NOT PUT ANYTHING UNDER THE HANDLE THAT MECHANICALLY HOLDS THE NOZZLE OPEN, I DO NOT TRY TO FILL THE TANK TO THE VERY BRIM AND I PLACE THE NOZZLE BELLOWS DIRECTLY ON THE FILL TUBE. DESPITE THIS THE TANK CONSISTENTLY OVERFLOWS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. MOST OF THE TIME THE INSTANT THE NOZZLE BELLOWS IS SEPARATED FROM THE FILL TUBE (AFTER THE NOZZLE CLICKS SIGNALING THE TANK IS AT THE SAFE FILL POINT) THE GAS "BURPS" OUT A DISTANCE OF UP TO A FOOT WHICH INITIALLY LANDED ON ME. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN TO THE INDIVIDUAL PUMPING GAS AS WELL AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN. THE JEEP SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED ME THAT A NEW GAS TANK IS REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE FILL TUBE CHECK VALVE WHICH HE INFORMED ME IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE TANK. I RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I FOUND THAT FOR SEVERAL YEARS PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE EVEN PUT A VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING ON YOUTUBE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL SPEWED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS AND TANK IS FUEL THE NOZZLE STOPS AND THEN GAS BUBBLES OUT THE FUEL TANK AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I EVEN TRY GOING SLOW BUT AS SOON AND IT GETS FULL SOME FUEL COMES OUT. I TOOK THIS TO DON MILLER DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM SERVICE CENTER IN MADISON, WI AND THEY INFORMED THAT THE ROLLOVER VALVE IS NOT WORKING AND I WOULD NEED THE WHOLE FUEL TANK REPLACED. I KNOW FROM RESEARCH ONLINE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IN THE CHANCE OF A ROLLOVER THIS KEEPS FUELS FROM SPILLING OUT OF THE GAS TANK THAT MAY CAUSE A FIRE. I HAVE ALSO SEEN OTHER RECALLS FOR OTHER CHRYSLER MAKES AND MODELS INCLUDING OTHER JEEP MODELS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND WONDER IF THE JEEP LIBERTY'S SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS WELL. THANK YOU *TR
