REFUELING THE VEHICLE CAUSES GASOLINE TO OVERFLOW FROM THE FILLER TUBE AND RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR ONTO THE GROUND. APPROX10-12 OZ. OF FUEL WILL SPILL OUT EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP AT ANY GAS STATION. THERE APPEARS TO BE A VENTING ISSUE WITH JEEP GAS TANKS. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH RETURNS MANY RESULTS OF THIS ISSUE, MOST COMMONLY KNOWN AS 'GAS TANK BURPING'. IT AFFECTS DIFFERENT JEEP MODELS. HERE IS A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=6FEAMUAUKO8 I WOULD CONSIDER THIS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ARE UNWILLING TO HELP ME BECAUSE I AM OUT OF THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY PERIOD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK AS THE VEHICLE RAPIDLY ACCELERATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE ACCELERATOR SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ONE YEAR LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

LOW PSI INDICATOR ON SPARE WAS ON SO I LOWERED THE SPARE TIRE TO PUT AIR IN IT AND I NOTICED THE VALVE STEM WAS BROKE OFF AT THE TOP. AFTER LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER ON THEIR VALVE STEMS. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON ALL WHEELS NOT JUST THE SPARE. THE COST TO FIX IS AROUND $100 A TIRE!!! IN TILL CHRYSLER FIXES THEIR CHEAP VALVE STEM SENSOR SYSTEM I WILL PUT IN THE OLD FASHION RUBBER VALVE STEMS AND JUST PUT UP WITH THE DASH LIGHTS!!!! *TR

WAS PUTTING GAS INTO JEEP AS I HAVE ALWAYS DONE, AND THIS TIME AFTER THE PUMP SHUT OFF, GAS CAME PUKING OUT OF THE TANK DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, BUT LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. YOU WOULD THINK JEEP WOULD RECALL THIS!!!! *TR

WENT FOR MY NORMAL OIL CHANGE AND ROTATE TIRES AT THE DEALER. THE SERVICE WRITER CAME OUT TO INFORM ME I NEED REAR BRAKES AS THEY HAVE WORN DOWN AND THE ROTOR NEEDS TO BE TURNED AS IT IS OUT OF ROUND. I TOLD THEM HOW COULD THE REAR BE OUT IN 12600 MILES AND THE FRONT BRAKES ARE GOOD. IF THEY ARE THAT WORN WHY IS THERE NO WARNING TO LET ME KNOW AS IT IS UNSAFE AND I COULD HAVE BRAKE FAILURE. THEY TOLD ME MANY CHRYSLER VANS AS WELL AS SOME 2009 AND 2010 HAVE A DEFECT IN THE BRAKES THAT CAUSE THEM TO FAIL WAY SOONER THEN THEY SHOULD. I PAID ALMOST $400 FOR THE BACK BRAKES TO BE DONE AND CALLED CHRYSLER CORP AND MADE A CASE. THEY AGREED THAT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED AT THAT LOW MILEAGE AND OTHERS HAVE DONE ALSO. I AM GOING TO GET A TOTAL REFUND FOR WHAT I SPEND AFTER MANY CALLS TO GET IT PAID BY THEM AS I FEEL IT IS A UNSAFE CONDITION THAT MANY OTHER PRODUCTS THEY MAKE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AND WHY I SHOULD PAID FOR A DEFECT IN THEIR BRAKE SYSTEMS. I ASKED IN THE NEXT 12000 MILES IF THEY WEAR OUT AGAIN WILL THEY REPAIR THE PROBLEM AGAIN AND SHE SAID NO. IT IS NOT FAIR OR SAFE TO HAVE A JEEP THAT WILL KEEP HAVING THE REAR BRAKES WEAR OUT WAY BEFORE TIME AND A UNSAFE CONDITION TOO. I CALLED A FEW BARKS ROTOR MFG. COMPANIES AND THEY TOLD ME ALSO THEY HAVE A MAJOR DEFECT IN THEIR BRAKE SYSTEMS AS THE WEIGHT OF THEM AS CERTAIN JEEPS AND VANS IS WAY TOO MUCH FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM THEY HAVE ON THE REARS AND FRONTS. I ALSO SEE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS AGAINST THEM ON THIS BRAKES WEAR OUT PROBLEMS ON 2009 AND 2010 VANS THAT ARE IN A DODGE JOURNEY BULLETIN WB-D-11-07 AND IT IS THE SAME AS MY DEFECT BUT THEY SAID IT DOES NOT COVER THE JEEP LIBERTY BUT WILL REFUND MY MONEY ONCE FOR THE COST I PAID. I AM NOW AFRAID MY BRAKES WILL FAIL AND CAUSE A ACCIDENT. THEY DON`T SEEM TO CARE TO GO ANY FURTHER OTHER THEN PAY ME BACK MY MONEY FOR THE FAILED BRAKES IN THE REAR ONE TIME ONLY.... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE BLEW OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

THE BACK REAR BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN OUT, I REPLACED THE BULB AND ALSO HAD THE WIRING CHECKED, CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG, THEN I NOTICED ON SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT BACK BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALSO OUT. THE OTHER VEHICLES APPEARED TO BE A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. *TR

THE NOIL FILTER IS IN A BAD PLACE THAT CAUSES OIL TO COLLECT IN ALL AREAS OF THE ENGINE AND SKID PLATES THAT CAUSE EXCESS DRIPS ON MY GARAGE FLOOR. SMOKE ON THE HOT ENGINE PARTS AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE EACH TIME THE OIL FILTER IS CHANGED. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY REMIND THE DEALER TO COMPLETELY SPRAY AND DEGREASE THE UNDER AREAS AND SIDES OF THE ENGINE EACH TIME OR I HAVE TO RETURN NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT OIL LEAKS. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO CREATE OIL PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THE FILTER LOCATION.... *TR

UPON ACCELERATION IN THE 40MPH RANGE, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT, AND REVS HIGHER AS IF THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS IN DRIVE, BUT THE CAR SPEED DOES NOT INCREASE. THE TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO "SLIP", AND DOES NOT ENGAGE THE NEXT GEAR. THE ENGINE RACES BEFORE THE NEXT GEAR ENGAGES. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED ON AND OFF SINCE 3,000 MILES. WILL CONTACT DEALER THIS WEEK. *TR
