Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problems of the 2006 Jeep Liberty

Fuel tank fill tube shutoff is defective and fuel spills out when filling fuel tank.

Gastank always overflows when filling at any gas station.

Gas overflows onto pump handle, hands, side of vehicle and ground when filling gas tank. This appears to be a common problem with these year model liberties.

When filling tank gas does not stop automatically, there is a lot of gas that overflows down side of car onto the ground. Doesn't matter speed of filling the tank it will overflow unless manual stop of filling prior to gas tank being full and will sometimes still overflow. The vehicle is off and parked at the pump, doesn't matter what gas station is used the issue happens. This happens every time filling up with the last time on 5/12.

When filling the gas tank, the pump fails to automatically shut off due to a faulty fuel filler neck. The entire gas tank must be replaced because the valve is part of the tank and cannot be replaced separately. The fuel spillage hazard creates risk of explosion at the gas station.

When filling the gas tank, there is almost always overflow that spills out of the nozzle onto the side of the vehicle and onto the pavement. I would estimate this happens about 80% of the time I fill up.

When filling the tank with fuel, the pump does not shut off, and the fuel filler tube belches fuel onto the side of the truck and the ground. This causes a fire safety issue, the fuel damages paint and plastics on the vehicle, it is wasteful, and is hazardous to the environment.

2006 Jeep Liberty: fuel splashes back when filling gas tank at a gas station. This happens every time I fuel the tank. Faulty fuel inlet check valve. Other Chrysler vehicles have this problem and have been recalled for repair. I spoke with a representative from Chrysler, and they stated that Chrysler has no plans of issuing a recall for this make, model, and year vehicle.

When filling up the gas tank, the automatic shut off does not function, resulting in gas pouring out of the tank. This has happened consistently, no matter where or when I fill up.

During refilling of the fuel tank, the fuel shutoff mechanism does not work properly and fuel always overflows onto the ground. Research reveals that problems of this type are known to be caused in Jeeps of this year by the inlet check valve (icv). The recall for this issue in Jeep wranglers should be expanded to include Jeep Liberty models.

It has been brought to the attention of the nhts that there is an issue with Jeep vehicles that when fueling up the gas tank a geyser of gasoline will erupt from the tank upon "completion" of filling the tank. Covering the car, the individual filling the tank, the ground, and anyone else within a certain vicinity in gasoline, a highly flammable liquid. Chrysler has a history of this issue with their vehicles. In 2009, 45,000 cars were recalled for it. Currently, Chrysler has agreed to "initiate a lifetime warranty program" to address this very issue in 135,000 Jeeps manufactured in 2007 and 2008. Leaving all other Jeep owners with this issue to continue risking their lives and the lives of others by getting continually doused in gasoline. Recently, Chrysler issued a recall for 430,000 Jeeps because of a weakness int the gas tank that can burst into flame in the event of a rear end collision. So they know their gas tanks are weak! this latest recall admits to it. So why the discrimination against the rest of us Jeep owners with faulty inlet check valves? where is justice, and concern for our safety?.

I purchased what appeared to be a well maintained 2006 Jeep from a local reputable dealer at a cost over of 10 grand on 10/3/14. The first tank fill up the gas overflowed out of the tank. There was no "stop" the gas just came out. I asked the cashier if there was a problem with the gas pump and they said they didn't know. So, the next gas fill up a week later, the gas shot out of the tank this time. Still no warning to stop filling the tank with a gas "stop". I contacted the dealer, who could not find anything mechanically wrong with the tank, and had to pay for and send the car to a local Jeep dealer for repair. To make a long story short, they replaced the gas tank. Albeit I received the car back with less gas than I had left it with. Took the car home, filed the car on Friday 11/7/14 and the gas mechanism did stop the gas, but only after gas leaked out from the gas tank again, and they never even tested the car to make sure it didn¿t happen again! as I found out later, they replaced the tank with a used tank. I am incredulous about this issue. My dealer is going to take care of this issue, I hope. And if it is not fixable, I will never buy another Jeep or Chrysler product! from what I am reading on the web no one is listening to us Jeep owners. Thankfully I have a small warranty period that covers this issue, but I implore you to reopen this issue. I can attest this is not internet hype. I have worked hard for most of my life and feel as a consumer I am being taken advantage of. To make such a substantial purchase to only find out that thousands of others are being ignored with the same issue is beyond me. Please fix what is already broken.

Fuel tank overflows when filling causing gasoline spillage on ground and person filling vehicle.

I received a recall letter in 2013 recall number n46 and NHTSA campaign number 13v-252. I have not received further notification to take my Jeep in to be repaied. I called my local dealer who said they have not received any information or parts to repair our Jeeps. This is a safety issue. . . . Why has it taken a year to get the parts to the dealers to fix our Jeeps? when filling the vehicle with gas, the pump's handle will suddenly and forcibly stop (as though the tank were full) and gasoline will spit out of the fuel opening, despite the fact it is gallons away from being filled to full capacity. This happens with every different gas station's pump handles, so to be clear, it is not an issue with the pump or handle, or the individual's ability to pump gas correctly; it is an issue with the gas line of this vehicle and the indicator or regulator or whatever part is defective.

I am the original owner of this Jeep Liberty first of all and I love it, but it is dangerous! I can't fill the gas tank on my Jeep Liberty with out it spewing back out. The first time it happened gas was all on the ground at the gas station. It got all over my hands and paints leg and burned my skin. I was out of town and didn't have an extra pair of pants to change into. All I could do is pull off at the next exit and try to clean my skin in the restroom. Now I have to hold my ear down to the gas nozzle to hear the tank filling up. My husband can't hear well so I can't let him fuel the Liberty. Out of fear of gas getting on others and on the ground, I am the only one that fuels the tank. Chrysler will not replace the gas tank because it shows no problem under my VIN number. This is a public and environmental safety problem with gasoline on people and all over the ground! I need this tank replaced, just thunk about it. . . . 1/2 gallon of gasoline on the ground for every other Jeep Liberty like mine out there. I talked with Jeep customer service again today and was still denied.

Fuel spews out of the fuel filler opening after the gas pump shuts off causing fuel to spill on to the vehicle body (both painted and plastic areas), on the ground, and on the person filling the Jeep. This condition has existed for a year before filling this complaint. Apparently this is a wide spread issue across all Jeep lines. The only fix available is complete replacement of the fuel tank (estimated $1700. 00) at the owners expense. Model 2007 and up Jeep Liberty's have a recall for this issue, but not my 2006 per my local dealer.

While filling up with gas, if you try to fill the tank, gas pours out of the tank before the hose can shut itself off. Gas covers the side of the car, is all over anyone standing near and the ground. When I walk away from the car, the gas station attendant says I must stay with the car during the gassing process. Is it safe to have a car where the auto shutoff doesn't work for a fluid as flammable as gas? I have tried many gas stations, this occurs at every station, and hoped the problem would correct itself, it has not.

When filling up my gas tank, the fuel will spit back out. This happens at the beginning, middle, or end of when I'm fueling up. It's more like a geyser of fuel spilling back at me that gets all over me, the car, and most dangerously, all over the ground of the gas station. It happens nearly every time I fill up. It doesn't matter what gas station I am at, or how I'm positioning the hose. This has been happening for over a year, but has gotten increasingly worse recently. Very dangerous, frightening, and bad for the environment.

When filling the vehicle with gas, the pump's handle will suddenly and forcibly stop (as though the tank were full) and gasoline will spit out of the fuel opening, despite the fact it is gallons away from being filled to full capacity. This happens with every different gas station's pump handles, so to be clear, it is not an issue with the pump or handle, or the individual's ability to pump gas correctly; it is an issue with the gas line of this vehicle and the indicator or regulator or whatever part is defective. This is the exact same issue we had with our 2008 wrangler sahara unlimited, for which a recall was issued in 2013 for a defective gas line collar. Once the recall was remediated the problem stopped. So I called Jeep today to discuss why a recall had not been issued for our Liberty since it has the same problem. The answer I received led me to believe that not enough complaints had been received by your office; so I am filing a complaint with you today so that you can investigate the need for a recall for this issue on the Jeep Liberty model. My daughter-in-law owns this vehicle and allows me to drive it, so I am filing this complaint to bring this issue to your attention on her behalf, and whose information appears in section 3, below. Thank you for your attention to this serious issue.

When filling the gas tank the tank overflows every time as the tank reaches the full point the dealer states a new tank is required and they are aware of the defect but it is the customer’s problem at a cost of about $1600. 00 this is a safety and fire hazard and needs to be address by Chrysler. There is also a problem with the window regulators the plastic clip that holds the windows up snaps off at random and the windows fall down again Chrysler is aware of the design defect but refuses any help or permanent fix.

When filling the gas tank, gas will squirt out before the nozzle can shut off. There appears to be a defect with the gas tank that causes air to not vent properly during the filling process. This air builds up pressure until it pushes gas back out the filler tube potentially onto the person filling the tank, down the outside of the vehicle and onto the ground. Not only a safety issue but an environmental one that many others have also reported.

The 2006 Jeep Liberty spills fuel when filling at a gas station. The station pump shuts off and then a few cups of fuel overflows onto the side of the vehicle and the ground. If it is windy, you will get fuel everywhere. It doesn't matter what gas station you go to or how fast you fill up. Your only option is to stop the pump before the tank is full.

The gas tank overflows every time the vehicle is filled up. Gas station pumps do not automatically stop when filling the tank. This occurs every time and at every gas station. This has the potential for starting a fire. It also leaks fuel into the environment.

2006 Jeep libety's gas tank overflow malfunction. Every time I fill the Liberty's gas tank it has overflowed. This has been happening ever since the first time I gassed it up after purchasing it in 2006. I have reported it several times to my local Jeep dealership it was even reported to the dealership when I went in to get my free oil change (at 3000 miles) for the purchase of the vehicle, but they have constantly passed the blame down on me for not properly filling the gas tank. Because I am either a. At fault because I am toping off the tank or b. I am at fault for apparently using the same gas pump all the time. But it doesn't matter who's filling the tank, nor does it matter which gas station I go to gas ends up getting on me, the side of the Jeep, and on the ground which is hazardous all the way around. I understand that the tank is under recall to have a hitch installed, to protect it from rear end collisions but I have no interest, in participating in the recall until the overflow problem is resolved.
