2008 JEEP LIBERTY Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE PARKED AND FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE FUEL TANK DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO MAKE THE FUEL STOP. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM SO THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

2008 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED. GAS OVERFLOWS. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. GAS CONTINUES TO SPEW OUT AFTER FILLING. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER WRITES REGARDING RECENT OVERFLOWING GAS ON FILL UP *TGW

JEEP LIBERTY 2008 GAS GUSHING OUT EVERY TIME AFTER FILLING TANK - ACCORDING TO DEALER, ROLL-OVER VALVE IS FAULTY INSIDE GAS TANK SO ENTIRE GAS TANK MUST BE REPLACED (ABOUT $800+). THIS VALVE ENSURES THAT GAS WILL NOT LEAK INTO VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF A ROLL-OVER ACCIDENT; ALSO ENSURES GAS WON'T SHOOT OUT OF THE GAS TANK AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. GAS ERUPTS OUT OF TANK AND BACK ONTO THE FACE, BODY AND FEET OF THE CONSUMER AS WELL AS ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND NEAR GAS PUMPS. VERY UNSAFE HAZARD. NOT A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM BUT RATHER A DEFECTIVE PART INSIDE THE GAS TANK. SHOULD NOT BE THE CONSUMER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE. VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD WITH 40,000 MILES LOGGED. THIS OCCURS EACH AND EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED WHETHER OR NOT IT IS ON AUTO-FILL OR MANUALLY REGULATED. TRICKY WORK TO MANUALLY STOP GAS FLOW BEFORE IT GUSHES OUT. LODGED COMPLAINT WITH JEEP OF AMERICA BUT WAS TOLD ONLY POSSIBLE RECOURSE WAS TO PAY FOR REPAIR MYSELF; SUBMIT CLAIM TO THEM AFTER THE FACT, AND THEY MAY OR MAY NOT DECIDE TO ASSIST ME WITH COSTS (THEY WON'T CALL IT REIMBURSEMENT) FOR SOME OR ALL OF MY EXPENSES. THEY CLAIMED NO RESPONSIBILITY AND COMPLETE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THIS CONCERN IS POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET IN VARIOUS FORUMS. THANK YOU. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM- ELECTRICAL MIRRORS STOPPED WORKING. THE POWER MIRRORS WORKED INTERMITTENT, THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. DEALERSHIP REPLACED 2 TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULES AND REWIRED HARNESS. MIRRORS WORKED FOR 24 HOURS AND CEASED WORKING. AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON IF AIR/ HEAT IS TURNED TO 3. *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED EACH TIME HE FILLED THE GAS TANK, GASOLINE SPILLED OUT OF THE FILL OPENING MOMENTS AFTER THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF WAS TRIGGERED. THE SPILL OCCURRED IN A BOILING TYPE MANNER AND THE VOLUME OF THE SPILL WAS SIGNIFICANT. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED, THROUGHOUT THE THREE YEARS HE HAS OWNED THE VEHICLE, HE HAD A PROBLEM WITH RAIN GETTING INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE POINT OF ENTRY APPEARED TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE REAR LIFT GATE. THE WATER VOLUME WAS SIGNIFICANT AND NOT ONLY SOAKED THE REAR BED, BUT IT ALSO RAN TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND SOAKED THE FRONT PASSENGER CARPET. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED TWICE, WITH THE REPORT THAT SOME DRAINS PORTS WERE CLOGGED. THE LAST REPAIR INVOLVED SOME ADDITIONAL CAULKING. *JB

WHEN REFUELING, VEHICLE GUSHES FUEL BACK OUT AT THE CONSUMER AFTER PUMP CLICKS OFF. HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT LAST MONTH. IT IS DANGEROUS AND ENVIRONMENTALLY BAD TO SPEW FUEL ON CONSUMER AND ON THE GROUND, FOR FIRE AND HEALTH REASONS. *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY,ABOUT 37,000 MI STARTED PROBLEM OF GAS PUMPS NEVER SHUT OFF WHEN TANK NEARS FULL, HAS SPILLED ALL OVER MYSELF, OCCURS EVERY TIME ANY STATION, JUST WAITING FOR A CIGARETTE FROM SOMEBODY ELSE TO CATCH ME ON FIRE. *TR

DURING REGULAR REFILL THE CAR SPILLED FUEL, AROUND 250ML OF IT. IN LAST 2 MONTH IT IS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE AND POSES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE CAR OCCUPANTS ALONG WITH THE GAS STATION. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS THE JEEP SPEWS GAS BACK OUT FORCEFULLY AND ABOUT 4 CUPS FLY OUT ALL OVER SOME TIMES THE NOZZLE CLICKS AND SOME TIMES IT DOES NOT. I HAVE HAD THIS JEEP FOR OVER ONE YEAR AND THIS STARTED HAPPENING FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. 2008 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NO RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE GAS COMES OUT FAST AND SPRAYS. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS AS IT IS A HAZARD AND NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. *TR
