Happened parking enging offin any gas station my mechanic told me is a small valve e in the neck of the tank but the tank is plastic so ill have to replace the tank. . Whole set something about a valve.
Fuel spit back after putting gas in fuel tank. It doesn't matter has fast or slow gas is pump, gas spills out after refueling vehicle. Large quantities of gas spray out of filler neck on person, vehicle and ground.
The fuel tank support rusts out from the inside to a point that it seems very unlikely it would be structurally sound in the event of an accident. It is very concerning that this would not puncture the tank and be a cause of fire instead of protecting the tank as it is marketed to do. There has been no incident yet, but after an accident would not be the time to find out. Chrysler has reviewed this and will not take action.
I own a 2008 Jeep Liberty and every time I fill it the fuel comes ba k at me not just a little either it geisers out of the tank and have gotten to the point where I have to stand up wind not to be showered it has been doing this since I bought it.
Several years ago there was a recall on my fuel tank for gas over spilling while fueling the car. That was replaced but now I can't fill my tank completely because when I do the inside of my car smells of gas fumes from the tank up to the front seat. There is also an issue with the car staling at a stop or the ignition having trouble catching when I crank the car.

Bought this vehicle used. Each of the two times we have filled up the tank with gas the tank has overflowed spilling an estimated pint of gas out of the tank and down the exterior of the vehicle and onto the ground. Each time gas has spilled onto the driver as well. Researching this issue it appears that replacing the gas tank resolves this issue. I feel this is a dangerous safety issue that should be addressed with a recall. Ref. Service bulletin no. : sb-14-003-13, NHTSA id number: 10052148.
I recently purchased a used 2008 Jeep Liberty sport 4x4. For the first couple months, I had no issues with the vehicle. Recently, every time I fill up the gas tank, no matter which station or brand of gasoline, the fuel tank overfills and spits gas out. The pump will click off, but it is clicking off too late and gas is spilling down the side of the vehicle, onto me, and all over the ground. Obviously, this is a major health issue to have gasoline on my skin, clothes, and to be breathing in the toxic fumes. Additionally, this is a major environmental issue, as gas is spilling out onto the ground. Finally, this could quickly become very dangerous. It also appears, based on some basic internet research, that this is a widespread problem with Chrysler vehicles, especially these Jeep Liberty models. I'm a bit perplexed why there has not been a recall issued on this.
When filing the tank, the gas pump will shut off as the tank fills but then the tank over flows with gas and spills out everywhere. This happens every single time the tank is completely filled.
Approximately 1 in 3 times I fill the gas tank the auto shutoff fails and spews gas out onto the vehicle and the ground (approx 2 cups). I was told by Jeep that the gas tank must be replaced due to the failure of an internal sensor at a cost of $600. After a brief on-line investigation I note that this problem has been reported by at least scores of other Jeep owners. This is more than an inconvenience due to discharge of a flammable liquid. In my 40 plus years of driving I have never experienced this problem and therefore believe it to be a manufacturers defect issue. This occurs at varied gas stations and therefore is not associated with faulty equipment at the stations.
Every time we fill the gas tank, the gas tank overflows.
Every time I fill the fuel tank it spews gas all over the place. After looking online it appears that this is a common problem with the 2008 Jeep Liberty.
When I pump gas the system does not stop, the gas continues to pump once the tank is full. Gas runs down the side of the Jeep and is a huge safety issue. No recall on this issue so I would have to pay myself this needs be investigated.
Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Jeep Liberty 4x4. The contact stated that whenever dispensing fuel into the fuel tank, gasoline fuel would spray out of the filler neck and onto the contact's clothing. The vehicle was taken to an independent auto mechanic for diagnosis. The technician stated that either the filler neck or the fuel tank would possibly need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. The VIN was unavailable. Kmj.
While re-fueling at a gas station, once the gas pump stopped, fuel exploded out of the Jeep Liberty's fuel tank drenching my legs and the Jeep with gasoline. This is very dangerous!! this has happened every time I refilled the tank - even if I stopped the fuel flow well before the gas tank was full.

When I fill up the tank, gas overflows.
Starting in November of 2011, I have had overflow issues with my gas tank. Every time I fill up my Liberty, it overflows after the gas clicks off. It spews out everywhere! it seems to spill out with more force the colder it is outside.
When the gas tank is filled gas shoots out when the gas pump shuts off. There seems like there is a buildup of pressure in the gas tank. This is an ongoing problem with every fill up.
When fueling, gasoline spits back just after pump automatically turns off. Each time approximation one cup of gas is spilled on the side of the car and ground. In addition to wasting money, this is both a fire and environmental hazard. This occurs almost everytime the tank is filled up when the temperature is below 65f.
