Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2005 Jeep Liberty - part 2

I was contacted by mail about a recall on my 2005 Jeep Liberty for gas tank problems in a rear end collision. To add a tow hitch to the rear end. Well I have been waiting over a year for a response I guess they are waiting for the SUV to die. ???.

Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that when refueling the vehicle, fuel spilled out of the filler neck valve. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis. The technician stated that the fuel tank would have to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000. Kmj.

I ve been made aware of the possible recall regarding the fuel tanks - and I always have a gas odor in my car. It is usually much stronger after I fill my tank but I always have a gas odor. Also I have the passenger back window down like many other owners.

Gas tank "burps" out gas all over the side of my car and onto the ground as soon as the gas pump clicks off. Has landed on my feet a few times. It's dangerous and there should be a recall. I've seen so many people with the same issues. Not acceptable. It's a safety issue and it's happening to thousands of Jeep drivers.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that whenever refueling, fuel would spew from the filler neck valve. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who advised to dispense 15 gallons of fuel and no more in order to avoid the overflow. In addition, the fuel tank valve sensor was replaced. The failure recurred after the repair was performed. The dealer and manufacturer were notified, who both informed the contact that there was not a remedy to correct the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000. Kmj.

Every time I fill the gas tank, if I leave the gas pump auto fill lever on then gas will spew out instead of the gas lever stopping. At first, I thought it was the lever malfunctioning, but after having the same problem recur at different gas stations and pumps, I knew it was my vehicle. I have not had it inspected but have found a similar problem exists with others owning the same vehicle model. This is obviously not safe when gas pours out onto the vehicle, ground, and operator, as well as a malfunction that costs extra money. I have learned not to pump a full tank of gas into the tank and thus avoid the problem, but I am concerned this problem could cause decreased gas mileage or other issues within the fueling system.

The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated while at a stop sign the vehicle stalled without warning. The gasoline gauge showed a quarter tank. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and stated there was no gasoline in the fuel tank upon looking underneath the vehicle. Gasoline was placed in the fuel tank and the vehicle restarted. The failure was not diagnosed by an authorized dealer. The contact was included in NHTSA campaign id number:13v252000 (fuel system, gasoline , structure) and was waiting for parts. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Every time I fill up my gas tank, it overflows. I put on the lock and then it pumps until it overflows. Gas then drips down the side of my car and onto the ground, creating a fire hazard. Once this happens, I then can smell the gas fumes inside my car as well.

Upon normally fueling vehicle, gas will expel from fill tube when tank is near full. This causes a serious and potentially dangerous outflow of gasoline onto pump operator, vehicle and pavement. Gasoline has already damaged paint finish on vehicle. Estimated environmental hazard of 1 pint per fill-up or approximately 100 pints per year. Dealer charged $105 to test for condition and it was determined that fuel system spillage is caused by defective filler tube and vapor tube. Repair cost estimated at $640 parts and labor. Vehicle manufacturer must be responsible for defective vehicle system and not vehicle owner. This is not a maintenance item, nor was it caused by mis-use. This vehicle defect has serious safety and environmental concerns and this condition has been noted, campaigned and recalled previously on many other Chrysler vehicles. Request that vehicle oem pay to replace defective parts to avoid any further contamination to the environment, avoid further vehicle damage and eliminate on-going risks to persons.

It started backing fuel out of the filler tube almost everytime as the fuel tank approached a full level. At first it started intermittently but lately, it does every time which results in a fuel spill on the ground, down the side of the vehicle, and on me, if I'm not paying attention. It seems dangerous. The same thing happened on my 07 Chrysler aspen and Chrysler answered the problem with a recall and extended warranty on that item. It has worked perfectly since then. I've talked to the dealer and they don't seem to know the answer. . . Even though it seems likely to me that it is the same problem as the Chrysler (maybe the same system as the Chrysler). If they seemed more positive about the repair, I would pay to have it fixed.

When pumping gas I can only put in less than a gallon at a time or it will all spit back out of the tank. I have been to 3 mechanics and they all said its a common problem with Jeep Liberty's and they need to replace the tank. . . Think I'll wait and see if Chrysler does the right thing and recalls the problem seeing how hundreds of other owners have the same problem.

Every time I put fuel in my Liberty, gas sprays everywhere. It does this every time I start fueling. It also does it when the tank is full. I lose a least 1/2 gallon every time I fill up. The dealership says nothing is wrong with it. If there's nothing wrong, how do I get covered in gas every time I put fuel in? it's very frustrating. I did get a recall n46 for the fuel tank, but their way of fixing it, is to put on a trailer hitch. That does nothing to fix the overflow issue.

We had this Jeep from day one. When you fill the tank it worked great until about 2 years ago. Now when you fill the thank at the very end of fueling it will kick gas all over the out side of the car and if you are standing near it you will be covered. I have had it looked at and they say it is the tank and that I will need a new gas tank. This is a manufacturer defect and I think it should be replaced by Jeep. Thank you for your time irwin vander zyl.

All Jeep Liberty 2005 - 2007 as far as I know. I have a 2005 and my daughter has a 2007. Gas spews out of the gas tank when gas pump shuts off when full. Everyone I know who has one of these vehicles has the same problem.

When fueling the car at the gas pump, it overflows. Shut off mechanism is not working properly. Jeep dealer said that it needs to replace the gas tank. This is a problem with many Jeep Liberty's.

My gas tank keeps over flowing when I fill it up same as many people online and Jeep. Will not fix it.

When I fill the gas tank, I get a back splash of gas once the tank is full. Cannot use the automatic shut off on the gas pump. I have to estimate as close as I can how much gas I can put into tank. If I over estimate, gas back splashes out and spills out onto pavement, onto me and vehicle. Very concerned about safety of gas tank and the risk of gas igniting.

Mfg seems unable to provide parts for recognized recall to my established Jeep dealer to install trailer hitch to provide additional mechanical protection for fuel tank.
