2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

THANKS FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY;; EXPERIENCED EXACTLY THE IDENTICAL RAINWATER FLOODING PROBLEM , FROM THE RIGHT HINGE ABOVE THE HATCHBACK OF MY 2008 LIBERTY, FIRST SATURATING THE CARGO AREA, THEN MOVING FORWARD SATURATING THE FRONT CABIN FLOOR! DEALER WONT FIX!! ! REMOVED SEATS AND CARPET, THREW AWAY PADDING,, REPLACED PADDING CLEANED CARPET, REMOVING BACK HATCH, AND PUTTING GASKETS UNDER HINGES! GOOD THING IM HANDY AND EX-NAVY!! PLEASE TAKE ALL KUDDOS AWAY FROM JEEP INC!! P.S. SOMEONE TRIED TO SILICONE AROUND THAT RIGHT CARGO HATCH HINGE THEN USE TOUCH-UP PAINT ON IT;; I THINK IT WAS THE DEALER; BUT THEY DENY IT!! BUT THE JEEP WAS A LEASE BEFORE I BOUGHT IT!! SO NO ONE ELSE WAS SUPPOSED TO TOUCH THE CAR; RIGHT? I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN ,, IF I HADN'T READ ANOTHER POST DESCRIBING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM!! I OWE THEM!! THANKS!! *KB

WHEN FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, THE GAS TANK OVER FLOWS BEFORE THE PUMP STOPS. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS A BROKEN PUMP, HOWEVER, I HAVE NOW FILLED UP OVER 4 TIMES AT 4 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THIS MOST RECENT TIME I HAVE LOST AROUND 1/2 GALLON OF GAS ON THE GROUND. I AM ALSO CONCERNED WITH THE EFFECT OF THE GAS ON MY PAINT/CAR BODY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AIR WAS ABNORMALLY SEEPING INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER IN REGARDS TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V455000 (VISIBILITY: WINDSHIELD), BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK IT SPLASHES OUT AND GET ALL OVER THE JEEP AND THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, FUEL WOULD SPILL BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. UPDATED 01/24/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE FILLED THE VEHICLE UP WITH GAS, IT SPLASHED BACK OUT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL FILL TUBE. UPDATED 01/25/12

REAR WINDOW WIPER MOTOR IS INOPERATIVE, FLUID SPRAY REAR WINDOW IS OPERATIVE. *TR

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK WITH FUEL, FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE SPLASHING ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE PERSON PUMPING THE FUEL, AND ONTO THE GROUND. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT INTERNAL RELATING TO THE FILLER VALVE OR FUEL TANK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE EVALUATED AS A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY JEEP THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND I REMOVE THE PUMP AND GAS WILL BUBBLE OUT OF THE TANK AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *KB

THE LAST 3 TIMES I HAVE FILLED THE GAS TANK ON MY VEHICLE, GAS HAS OVERFLOWED ONTO THE GROUND. AFTER THE 2ND TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THE CODE READ THAT THE FILLER NECK WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ADVISED THEM THAT I HAD AN ISSUE WITH GAS OVERFLOWING ONTO THE GROUND WHEN FILLING UP AND WAS ADVISED IT "MAY" BE FIXED BY THE NEW FILLER NECK SINCE THERE IS A SENSOR IN THERE. I HAD THE FILLER NECK REPLACED. I FILLED THE JEEP AGAIN TODAY, ROUGHLY A WEEK AFTER HAVING THE FILLER NECK REPLACED, AND AGAIN GAS OVERFLOWED AND LEAKED DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. UP UNTIL THIS POINT, WHEN FILLING MY JEEP, THE GAS PUMP WOULD CLICK OFF WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. I HAVE GONE TO THREE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SO IT IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP AT THE STATION. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. MOST TIMES, THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUTOFF A THE GAS PUMP .... AT VARIOUS STATIONS ... DOES NOT STOP THE FLOW. AT OTHER TIMES, FUEL GUSHES OUT EVEN IF THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I HAVE TRIED SLOWING THE RATE FUEL GOES INTO THE TANK. SOMETIMES THIS WORKS. OTHER TIMES, IT DOESN'T. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION IS TO TRY TO CALCULATE HOW MUCH FUEL IT WILL TAKE TO FILL THE VEHICLE AND THEN STOP THE FLOW MYSELF A COUPLE OF GALLONS EARLY. THERE IS A JEEP TSB OUT ON THIS PROBLEM. AND THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. THE FUEL SPILLAGE ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. *TR
