2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

WHEN FILING THE TANK, THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AS THE TANK FILLS BUT THEN THE TANK OVER FLOWS WITH GAS AND SPILLS OUT EVERYWHERE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME THE TANK IS COMPLETELY FILLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER DISPENSING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE FUEL WOULD SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ONTO THE CONTACT'S CLOTHING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT AUTO MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT EITHER THE FILLER NECK OR THE FUEL TANK WOULD POSSIBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE SAME ISSUE, IT HAS BECOME MORE OF A PROBLEM. I HAVE TO FILL THE GAS TANK EXTREMELY SLOWLY OR THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF SOME TIMES GAS COME OUT. I CAN NOT FILL THE TANK UP COMPLETELY OR QUITE A LOT OF GAS WILL GUSH OUT ON THE GROUND OR ON ME IF I AM STANDING IN FRONT OF THE FILL PIPE. I NOTICE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY WRANGLER SAME YEAR AS MY LIBERTY AND THE WRANGLER WAS RECALLED. I DO NOT UNDER STAND WHY THE LIBERTY WOULD NOT BE RECALLED. THIS COULD BECOME A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I CHECKED TO SEE IF IT WAS EVEN BEING INVESTIGATED AND IT IS NOT! WHY? *TR

JEEP LIBERTY SPURTS FUEL WHEN FILLING UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. AUTO SHUTOFF ON FUEL PUMP/NOZZLE SHUTS OFF THEN A LARGE QUANTITY OF FUEL SPURTS OUT OF TANK ALL OVER SIDE OF CAR AND GROUND. THIS IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND HUMAN SAFETY HAZARD. NOW WHEN FILLING UP, I STEP AWAY FROM THE CAR AND LET THE SPURTING FINISH. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I DON'T SET PUMP/NOZZLE TO AUTO SHUT OFF, BUT WHEN I DO THAT, I GET FUEL ALL OVER MY HANDS. *TR

STARTING IN NOVEMBER OF 2011, I HAVE HAD OVERFLOW ISSUES WITH MY GAS TANK. EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY LIBERTY, IT OVERFLOWS AFTER THE GAS CLICKS OFF. IT SPEWS OUT EVERYWHERE! IT SEEMS TO SPILL OUT WITH MORE FORCE THE COLDER IT IS OUTSIDE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE STARTED THE VEHICLE, AN ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. IN ADDITION, THE ODOMETER GAUGE WOULD NOT DISPLAY A MILEAGE READING. THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW ALSO BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THIS WAS NOT A PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY, BUT NOW IT HAS HAPPENED THE LAST THREE FILLUPS AT THREE DIFFERENT PUMPS. *TR

FAULTY/DEFECTIVE FUEL CHECK VALVE/SYSTEM THAT CAUSES THE TANK TO OVERFLOW WHEN FILLING WITH GAS AT THE PUMP. GAS SPOUTS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN REACHES FULL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PUMPING REFUELING, GASOLINE SPEWED FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE GAS VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE WARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 109,000. THE VIN NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE.
