Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problems of the 2010 Jeep Liberty

Rollover protection valve in the fuel tank has failed and gas pours out of the filler neck when filling the vehicle with fuel. After the pump shuts off, fuel pours out of the filler neck and onto the person fueling the vehicle. This is an issue that is being repaired under extended warranty for previous model years but not the 2010 model year, even though it is the same issue.

Fuel blows back explosively while filling tank. Dealer reports check valve in inside the gas tank not on the filler neck and that replacing fuel tank in only way to fix. Cost estimate $1370, plus $146. 50 to diagnose the problem for a total of $1,517. 31. This is a safety issue which Jeep is well aware and widely discussed on various forums. Jeep has recalled other models, but not this specific model and year. Serious bodily harm and death is a potential with this safety problem. Jeep refuses to assist on any cost or repair of the vehicle. Fuel tanks are made to last the life of a car, this is a manufacturing defect which should be dealt with. Car is single owner, was bought new in August 2010, no other problems. Case #28823444 at Jeep. Called 3 times, was offered zero assistance to mitigate the problem.

About a quart of gas will "burp" out directly after the pump has kicked off, spilling over the side of the Jeep and onto the person pumping gas. The odd thing is that it actually shoots out under some pressure. The problem is not caused by over-filling. At the dealership I was told I would need to replace the fuel tank. The spillage is a major issue by itself, but I am very concerned about safety issues if an accident occurs. Will this problem cause a fire hazard during an accident? if I replace the gas tank now, will I have the same problem after the next 45,000 miles. Replacing the tank is extreme as a regular maintenance item.

Tank spills gas on every fill-up. No madder how slow you fill it. But slower filling spill less gas then fast filling. Alway have to wipe up excess gas that spills down fender. This creates a safety issue every time you fill up.

I was filling the vehicle with gas. Instead of shutting off when the tank was full approximately a quart of gas splashed up on me and all over the rear fender of the car. I am pretty upset because a Jeep dealership in anderson, in said that was supposed to happen. We had the same issue with an older Liberty, and we were given a lifetime warranty for the repair. I was told my vehicle is not covered by that warranty. I don't believe that is supposed to happen, since it hasn't happened to me with the prior vehicles that I've owned, and I wonder if Jeep has corrected a problem that they are aware of, or if they are just kicking the can down the road.

When filling the vehicle with gas, the fuel overflows onto the side of the car, onto the ground and sometimes, if you forget and don't stand back far enough, is will splash onto who ever is filling the tank. This started in the fall of 2013 and continued off and on until the winter of 2014 when it became an every fill up issue. We did some research and found that older models of Jeep Liberty had the same problem, and had been recalled to have the tanks replaced. When we contacted Jeep they told us that my vehicle was not included in the recall, and that they would not do anything to help with the cost of replacing the tank. I had some other work done this last week on my Liberty and found out that to correct the problem, I would have to pay $710. 00 for the tank and $365. 00 for the labor. Again we contacted Jeep, and again were told that they would not do anything to help with the repair. I don't think that I should have to spend over $1000. 00 to correct an issue that Jeep is aware of and should be held responsible for. I feel that this is a safety issue, not only when fueling, but if you spill gas all over the ground at the gas station, there could be a fire. I don't know if it could cause a fire in the case of an accident. I hope not.

For the past two months everytime I fill my fuel tank it overflows dramatically. While filling the tank I always follow the prescribed safety measures - I do not put anything under the handle that mechanically holds the nozzle open, I do not try to fill the tank to the very brim and I place the nozzle bellows directly on the fill tube. Despite this the tank consistently overflows down the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. Most of the time the instant the nozzle bellows is separated from the fill tube (after the nozzle clicks signaling the tank is at the safe fill point) the gas "burps" out a distance of up to a foot which initially landed on me. This is obviously a safety concern to the individual pumping gas as well as an environmental concern. The Jeep service representative informed me that a new gas tank is required to replace the fill tube check valve which he informed me is an integral part of the tank. I researched on the internet to see if this is a common problem and I found that for several years people have been experiencing the same problem. Some people even put a video of this happening on youtube.

When filling up with gas and tank is fuel the nossel stops and then gas bubbles out the fuel tank and down the side of the vehicle. I even try going slow but as soon and it gets full some fuel comes out. I took this to don miller Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram service center in madison, WI and they informed that the rollover valve is not working and I would need the whole fuel tank replaced. I know from research online that this is a safety issue due to the fact that in the chance of a rollover this keeps fuels from spilling out of the gas tank that may cause a fire. I have also seen other recalls for other chryster makes and models including other Jeep models for this same issue and wonder if the the Jeep Libertys should be included as well. Thank you.
