Tank Mounting problems of the 2005 Jeep Liberty

Several months ago, started having difficulty fueling vehicle. Fuel splashes back up out of tank. Nozzle continually shuts off because gas overflows. Occurs at all pumps-not just high pressure. This happens during entire fill process, even when filling an empty tank. Requires hand holding nozle and filling at extremely slow rate. Even at very slow rate, must repeatedly stop all flow every few seconds or pump nozle will automatically shut off due to gas overflow. Takes extreme amount of time to fill entire tank and never sure it is full due to nozle shut-off continually being activated with back up of gas. Research on internet shows ongoing problem with other Jeeps as well.

Every time I go to fill my Jeep up, the gas tank over flows. It shuts off after a second or two, but there is a significant amount of gas that goes on the floor, and all over my car!.

I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty and every time I fill up my gas tank (no matter what station I am at), it always overflows. I hold the nozzle till the nozzle clicks (indicating the tank is full) and consequently a massive amount of gasoline spills out. It's very embarrassing when other people notice and unsafe for the environment. I have read many other complaints on the internet about this and I have seen youtube videos showing it as well.

When refueling the vehicle, gas splashes or spits back out of the gas tank prior to the gas station pump turning off. The amount of gas that splashes or spits out of the tank varies but occurs 100% of the time at all gas stations. The slashed volume appears to be a few ounces up to a quart and has splashed back up to a distance of 24". The gas usually splashes on the vehicle itself and on the ground and will splash on the operator if he/she is close enough to the tank or holding the pump. The gas has splashed/spit back on me a few times. The failure occurs regardless of the pumping speed - it occurs with the pump on the top notch (fast), the bottom notch (slow), anywhere in between and also if you fill it manually without the notches. The vehicle is never "topped off'. ".

2005 Jeep Liberty. Approx 62,000 miles. Gasoline will overflow from tank when fueling before pump automatically shuts off. The gasoline will overflow at every time the tank is filled to "full", regardless of station location or brand. Most of the time the amount of overflow is estimated at less than a cup, but has been as much as a pint on a few occasions. This did not happen for the first 4 years the vehicle was owned, and then would only happen occasionally. The tank now overflows every time. Since the issue is present regardless of the pump used, the vehicle itself is the likely defective component. I have read many reports of this issue online, but as of yet this issue has not led to a recall. This is a health and safety issue as it is a fire hazard. It is also a hazard for the person pumping the gas as the person has the gasoline spilled or sprayed on them. The spillage will also cause the car to smell of a gasoline odor and fumes are likely present. I must now make sure my 2 month old is not in the vehicle when I refuel as I am worried about him being exposed to the fumes.

Fuel overflow issue: while refueling, tank will consistently overflow large amounts of gasoline onto the ground. Problem occurs regardless of gas station used. Problem has occurred consistently for several years. This problem is a safety and environmental issue and should result in a recall before somebody is injured or the environment is further soiled. Internet research indicates that numerous other owners have reported this problem to Chrysler corporation and some may be denied repairs due to expiration of vehicle warranty. Fuel/emissions/safety issues such as this should not be restricted to powertrain warranty and should be warranted for the life of vehicle. . Read more...
