THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSED THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE FUEL TANK AND ADVISED THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,355 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

DURING FUELING AT THE END OF THE PROCESS THE FUEL PUMP WILL "CLICK" OFF. AFTER THE CLICK, A FAIR AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLS FROM THE FUEL TANK DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND A WASTE OF FUEL. *KB

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY, FUEL WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE TANK FILLER TUBE ON TO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND AFTER THE FUEL PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. FUEL OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AFTER THE FUEL PUMP IS SHUT OFF, EVEN WHEN FILLING IT AT A LOW FLOW RATE. IT STARTED OCCURRING WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES. *TR

AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE, A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT ALL OVER MY HAND, THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT DUE TO OVER FILLING, EVEN IF I TRY TO STOP IT EARLY, FUEL STILL SPLASHES BACK OUT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER-JEEP. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH GAS IT OVER FILLS EVERYTIME. THE PUMP IS STOPPED WHEN FULL, BUT IT WILL OVER FILL ENOUGH TO WHERE IT WILL COME SPRAYING OUT. *TR

EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL MY TANK WITH GAS THERE IS A SPILL OVER. I HAVE BEEN TO MULTIPLE DIFFERENT FILLING STATIONS AND GET THE SAME RESULT EVERY TIME. GASOLINE ALWAYS RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AS THE TANK REACHES FUEL CAPACITY. GASOLINE SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, ON TO THE GROUND, AND EVEN GETS ON MY HANDS, CLOTHES, AND SHOES. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH AN ISSUE WITH SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS FUELING A VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 2 MONTHS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM CARMAX. I PLAN ON CONTACTING THEM REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL AS MY JEEP. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT THAT WARRANTS A TOTAL RECALL ON ALL 2008 JEEP LIBERTY MODELS. I DON'T LIKE HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT INGESTING GASOLINE WHEN I EAT BECAUSE MY HANDS WERE COVERED IN GASOLINE. I DON'T LIKE BREATHING THE NOXIOUS FUMES WHILE I'M INSIDE MY CAR BECAUSE FUEL FROM A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK HAS SPILLED ON TO MY CLOTHES AND SHOES. *TR
