4 Fuel Pump problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2008

This incident started in 2008 and at the time thought it was a failure of the gas pump at the gas station but now the problem is more common and happens weekly, recently splashing gasoline into my eyes which required fluid eye rinse and medical attention. Every time I fill up the tank on my 2006 Jeep Liberty, the gas begins to overflow and splashes back, out of the fuel inlet opening. This in turn sprays fuel out at a force, and then onto the ground. Recently this happened and sprayed fuel into my eyes, on onto my clothes. Not only is this a safety issue, but also a major fire hazard. It is my understanding after talking with the dealer that this is a known problem with Jeep Liberty's in that the fuel tank's inlet check valve is faulty which in turn fails to automatically shut off the gas station fuel pump in time. This is my formal complaint that I was injured due to a known, faulty part/component of the Jeep Liberty.

5 Fuel Pump problem

Failure Date: 12/22/2006

I have had multiple problems related to the back lights on my 2006 Jeep Liberty renegade 4x4 vehicle. I purchased the car new with no miles on it. Recently, the gas pump was leaking and a valve was installed to stop the oil from leaking. The back light rack had to be replaced twice in two months. The back lights have gone out numerous of times.
