Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problems of the 2007 Jeep Liberty

Every time I fill up for gas, the automatic shutoff is triggered too late and a significant amount of gas spills out of the car, soaking the side of the car, the pump handle, the ground around it, and anyone standing next to the tank. This creates a significant risk of fire, and is also harmful for the environment. There was no attempt to top off the tank.

Chrysler installed a tow hitch a part of recall n46, but are advising owners that the tow hitch does not have sufficient strength for any towing. If it is not sturdy enough for towing, how can it be sturdy enough to protect the gas tank? is it now a projectile to puncture the tank? is Chrysler installing sub-standard hitches, which future owners may use? Chrysler when contacted indicated a warning sticker not to tow is included, however, the sticker reads "Chrysler recommends you remove the ball & ball mount whenever your vehicle is not actually in use of towing" also no wiring is installed with hitch which may lead some to tow without proper lights. Have they have created another safety hazard while trying to correct the other?.

There was a recall on my Jeep Liberty that the fuel tank can leak causing an explosion in a rear end in a crash. I have called several dealerships to fix the problem however I am on a waiting list of 250 people and they have run out of parts. In the meantime I am riding around with my daughter in the back seat. I am very upset that she may be at risk. The manufacturer must take responsibility and fix the problem sooner. I am not in a position to go and trade my car for another. I would like an offer for a refund if it cannot be fixed in a reasonable amount of time. Had I had known at the time this had such a safety risk I would not have purchased it as I always have my 6 year old in the vehicle with me. Since this is no fault of my own I am hoping for assistance and further instruction so that my family is safe.

We received a recall notice approximately 4 months ago for the Liberty. The stated our vehicle has a small chance of experiencing a fuel tank leak during rear end collisions. The dealer is suppose to install an (ome) trailer hitch. We called the dealer over a month ago and the part is not available. If Chrysler knows of a hazard and issues a recall they should have the part available. We think that over 4 months is a reasonable amount of time to wait to have part available.

I bought the Jeep from a friend last fall and this problem didn't exist until about 4 months after I had it. I always fill my tank when I stop for fuel and the first time this happened, while the tank was filling, I washed the windows. When it was almost full (I could tell by the amount on the pump), I grabbed the nozzle and got ready to squeeze the last bit in by hand after it shut off. Well, it didn't shut off and gas came pouring out, all over the vehicle, splashing my clothes and shoes! I thought it was an issue with the pump, so I brought it to the attendants attention & washed the side of the Jeep off. Next time I went to a different station & the same thing happened, so I didn't 'set' the pump handle anymore. . . . I held it myself and put my ear close so I could hear when it was almost full. Most of the time it worked, but it still came spewing out other times. The other night while having dinner with friends, one of the gals that works at dmv, who also has a Liberty, told me about the recalls on my model Jeep. I called my local dealership and he proceeded to tell me that the one had already been taken care of the month before I picked it up and the gas tank issue didn't apply to my model! are you kidding me???? I just finished telling him that it spews gas out every time I fill up if I'm not extremely careful with how full it gets! I can't tell you how much money I've lost from this issue 'that doesn't apply to my model'!!! not to mention the damage I'm sure it's doing to the finish (even though I try to get it all off)! not a happy camper and don't know that I'll ever buy another Jeep if this is the way they handle dangerous issues!.

For the past couple of years, my Jeep overflows every time I fill up at the gas station. As soon as the tank is full, and the gas nozzle clicks off, a significant amount of gasoline comes gushing out of the tank. I have done some research, and this seems to be a recurring problem among many Chrysler vehicle owners. This is not only a safety hazard, but causes damage to the exterior of the vehicle, and isn't good on the environment. I am really surprised that there has not been a recall or TSB about this problem as it is obviously a manufacturer defect. I have tried slowing down the flow rate once I feel the tank is nearly full, but this only prevents the overflow a small percentage of the time.
