During refueling at service station fuel spills from tank filler after the automatic fuel filler shutoff valve turns off (about a cup of fuel burps out). Extreme fire hazard! problem has gone from once in a number of fills to every time!.
Every time the gas tank is being filled there is an eruption of fuel that comes out of the gas tank fill when the gas pump handle shuts off. Even when manually holding the gas pump handle dispensing gas at a very slow rate, the gas tank fill still pours out gas when it reaches the full point and shuts off the pump.
2008 Jeep Liberty,about 37,000 mi started problem of gas pumps never shut off when tank nears full, has spilled all over myself, occurs every time any station, just waiting for a cigarette from somebody else to catch me on fire.
When filling gas tank with fuel, fuel spills out of the fller tube splashing on the side of the vehicle, the person pumping the fuel, and onto the ground. There is an obvious defect internal relating to the filler valve or fuel tank. This is extremely dangerous and should be evaluated as a safety recall.
When filling the fuel tank with gas, at the full point the tank shoot back about a quarter gallon of gas onto the ground and on the side of the car. This is without topping the tank off, as it happens at the point that the gas pump automatically shuts off. There is an extreme danger of this with gasoline being all over.

Upon removal of fuel nozzle from the tank, after filling the tank, about two cups of fuel burp out of the tank onto the side of the vehicle and ground. Happens at all stations, only way to avoid it is to not fill the tank or let the fuel nozzle sit for a minute or two before removal. I have returned vehicle to dealer with this complaint three times with no repair action taken by the dealer.
When the tank is almost full the gas will come spewing out and go all over this happens all the time the nozzle does not shut off it not the station I fill at various stations.
Gas overflows from the gas tank every time I put gas into the car. This is a safety hazard.
