38 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 08/06/2011

Each time I go to have gas put in my vehicle (no matter what gas station) or whether the gas is almost full or almost empty. When the gas is being filled it will spit the gas back out unless you fill it very, very, very slow and wait for the gas to settle. It spits it out on the side of the truck and has a very bad fume smell or odor after having gas pumped each time. This should be a safety concern and I do not understand why this has not been a recall via Chrysler-Jeep with all of the complaints I have read online.

46 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2011

I just bought a 2005 Jeep Liberty limited with 90k miles. My last two fillups at different pumps resulted in the pump shutting off but gas spilling down the side of the vehicle. Once was with the autopump lever engaged and once was while holding the pump lever manually. There are so many complaints about this that there needs to be a recall to protect consumers from exposure and protect the environment. Consider the amount of vehicles with this problem dumping gas on the ground on a daily basis. It could be a staggering amount of gas.

Fuel overflows - every time fueling up gas shuts off and flows backup and out spilling out over whoever is filling it. Shut off (baffle is not closing) to keep the fuel from coming back out. Extreme safety hazard. This needs to be addressed before someone gets seriously injured. Past due for recall !!!!.

While refueling, gasoline will splash from the filler neck at the time the pump shuts off. This happens each time we refuel, and we refuel at many different locations. I have attempted to slow down the pump as the last gallon goes in, and even this has not consistently been successful. I would estimate the amount spilled to be an ounce.

Beginning in November, 2010, each time I put gas into my 2005 Jeep Liberty, the pump did not stop in time and gas spilled out all over the car, on the ground, and on me. As of today, December 10, 2010, is has now happened 6 times at 6 different pumps at multiple gas stations indicating there is something wrong with the car. This problem is very harmful to the environment creating toxic runoff and is harmful to me as I breathe in the fumes.

I worries me everytime I fuel my car.

52 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2010

My 2005 Jeep Liberty suddenly turned off completely and minutes later in the parking lot of a banking establishment went up in flames. The fire started in the engine bay and quickly moved through the rest of the car. The fire destroyed the vehicle and all of my personal belongings. There were no prior signs to inform me that a fire was soon to come otherwise I wouldn't have driven it.

53 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 01/09/2010

Three times when I filled my 2005 Jeep Liberty, the pump shut off and then gas overflowed all down the side of the car and onto my hand and sleeve. I obviously don't fill it anymore, but this is also causing the check engine light to come on so it won't pass inspection. Jeep says they've never heard of this happening even though there are several website forums which talk about this problem and also videos on youtube showing it. My own mechanic said he's heard of this happening with other chryslers also. Jeep is working with me to cover part of the costs, but there's a series of parts that may have to be replaced and it needs to be retested each time. By the time all is said and done, even my part of the repairs could be substantial. I think this is a serious and dangerous problem and Jeep should issue a recall before somebody is seriously hurt.
