Other Fuel System Tank Assembly Problems of Jeep Liberty - part 2

I have 2 recalls on my Jeep right now. N46 and r06- I was told today because I lived in winter conditions that the n46 - cannot be installed because there is corrosion in the frame of the car making it impossible for the hitch to be installed. So if I am in a collision and rear ended my fuel tank could explode. The r06 could not be preformed which is the occupant restraint control module because there have been no parts available since February of 2015. So I could be driving and my airbags could deploy which will result in an accident. I called the fca recall assistance center and they were unable to give me a solution to either issue. I took time off of work to have these issues resolved and it was a waste of my day and time not to mention the fact that my vehicle is unsafe to drive.

Jeep is refusing to provide or manufacture the trailer hitch required to protect the fuel tank!.

I have attempted to submit my 2003 Jeep Liberty for recall repairs relating to recall n46 and r06 beginning more than a year ago to my two nearest Jeep dealerships; tate Jeep in frederick and century Jeep in mt. Airy, maryland. When I inquire that I have received notices by mail instructing for recall repairs I am being ignored for service. Century Jeep placed me on a call-back list, but I was never contacted. When I called after 4-5 months I was told I am still on the waiting list. A year has gone by with no further contact. When I inquired of tate Jeep about recall repairs they will not respond back to me. I fought with century Jeep for about a year to have my airbag recall addressed. Frankly, I am tired of begging and pleading with my local Jeep dealerships to have recall work performed. I have been afraid every day I drive my Liberty of having the air bag explode in my face or my gas tank exploding from a rear end collision. Can you help prompt my dealerships to address these outstanding recalls. I continue to receive recall notices on a periodic basis informing me that my recalls have not been repaired, but the dealerships refuse to do anything. Century Jeep tells me that they do not have the recall repair parts in stock. They tell me that they only get a couple each month from Chrysler. How much longer do I have to drive this death trap? I appreciate any help you can provide me. Thank you, mark fink frederick, MD.

The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Liberty. The contact filled the fuel tank numerous times, but the fuel spewed out with force each time. The contact had to move away from the area of the fuel tank each time the failure occurred. The contact observed strong fuel fumes inside the vehicle. The contact complained about the fumes affecting her breathing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and recommended that the vehicle be taken to the dealer. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was to schedule a diagnostic test. A second dealer diagnosed that the fuel filler tube needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for inspection and repair. The failure mileage was not available.

Every time I start to fill my tank it overflows. I lose approx. 1/2 gallon on the ground every time I put fuel in. This is ridiculous! I just bought this Jeep a few weeks ago. The previous owner/ dealership did not make us aware of this problem.

I own a 2005 Jeep Liberty that has been recalled due to the fuel tank has a chance of experiencing a fuel leak during certain types of rear end collisions. I have returned the vehicle to the dealer and was told that Chrysler does not have to make the repairs due to the car having a reconstructed title. I am checking with your agency to find out if that is the truth. I have had recall work done in the past without this issue arising.

I purchased a car from u. S. Auto sales in columbia, south carolina on June 12th 2015. The evening I took the car home the gas gauge was not at the empty mark and the car shut off and the check engine light came on. I took it back to the dealership and informed them of this and they proceeded to tell me that it is an ongoing Chrysler issue and to not let the gas tank to get below a quarter tank. They proceeded to reset the check engine light. 2 weeks later the check engine light came on again. So I took to a local auto store to have a diagnostics run and was informed that a wheel bearing was needed, a catalytic converter and a fuel line because at a certain level the gas will not reach the engine. Today in south carolina the temperature is well over 100 degrees and while I was driving my air conditioner stopped working. I have had more issues out of this car within the 30 days I have had it. I did purchase a warranty only to be told that I would have to bear some of the cost to fix a vehicle I just purchased. I am now waiting on a call from their mechanic once he gets the parts in to do the repairs. I believe I was knowingly sold a lemon. I was also told that if I had any issues with the car to bring it in and I will be given a loaner car. Well when I did bring it in I was basically told to get in line and wait because they had no loaner vehicles. Now I am basically stuck with a vehicle with no air and if the gas get past a half tank the car will shut off and if not repaired soon could potentially blow up with me and my children in it. Yes I have called the dealer to request another vehicle and was basically brushed off and told no.

Front passenger side wheel is making a very loud noise everytime I turn the wheel,brought it to 3 different mechanic could not figure it out, my engine light was on because of the fuel tank as well as air bag sign. . Called the Chrysler dealer they gave me a 2 months waiting period. . .

Every time my wife or I fill up the gas tank, gas sprays everywhere as the auto-shut-off does not work. The gas tank over-fills every single time and gas spews everywhere, getting on me, down the side of my Jeep, and all over the ground. This is a major hazard and could ultimately end up in an explosion. To act as additional support, the fact that gas sprays everywhere is against the law that can be found on the stickers at every gas station gas pump for how to "operate" the gas pump and how to "fill-up" correctly. There needs to be a recall immediately as I know there are many other people who experience this same issue. Also, the only reason why I stated the problem began at 147,000 miles is because that was the mileage on the vehicle when I purchased it used.

We just had the trailer hitch recall installed on this Jeep Liberty. How could Chrysler's trailer hitch installation be approved as a protection for the gas tank. Only the receiver sticks down in the middle of the tank. The trailer hitch does not have a reinforcement bar bolting to the frame well in front of the tank to avoid an incident that could cause tank rupture. This fix is totally inadequate to avoid tank rupture.

When pumping gas and it shuts off automatically gas spews out like a volcano from the gas tank. It's so bad that the gas attendant has had to come over and put absorbent material on top of the gas spill and we've had to wash down our car so it won't eat the paint. I contacted Jeep who told me there is no recall on this particular vehicle, but this is a problem with other Jeep models and there is a current recall on those models. It sounds like they need to expand their recall to include the 2007 Jeep Liberty's that have this problem. Thank you.

When getting gas, the overflow did not register and a bunch of gas spilled out everywhere. About a week ago, my check engine light came on and the error code listed the evap leak which includes gas fumes leaking out. The error code also says it could be an issue with the gas tank neck not functioning properly. This proves the gas tank neck is not functioning properly. This gas overspill every where is a nasty safety hazard! a warranty extension was released on certain wrangler models for this same issue. Chrysler needs to fix this problem ASAP!.

First refuel since purchase on 3/7/15. Gas tank overflowed onto ground and on person refueling. Fuel nozzle shut off after gas gushed out.

Ever single time I fill up my gas tank it overflows. This is not anything new. The model of my car one year after has a fuel tank recall so why isn't there one for the 200 kj Jeep Liberty.

Fuel gushes out of tank everytime it is filled up. Happens at all gas stations. Needs to be recalled. Safety risk and also environmental risk.

Fuel spillage every time fueling tank. Takes ~ 15min to fill take. Need to reduce fuel flow from pump down to a drizzle otherwise fuel spills all over car, ground and myself. Very dangerous!.

Tl-the contact owns a 2011 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated she observed leakage of fuel from her vehicle this occurred whenever she refueled the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer mechanic, who diagnosed that the fuel tank valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000. Lb.

I received two recall notices from Jeep in the fall of 2014 for the defective design for the gas tank location on my Jeep Liberty. I spoke to the local dealer last fall after getting the second notice. I knew it was a waste of time to contact them after only the first mailed notification, since I knew there wouldn't be parts available. I spoke to the dealer on a visit in the fall after the second mailed notification and the local dealer told me the parts would not be available for quite some time. I left them my name and asked them to contact me if the parts were availabel. In January of 2015, I contacted the local dealer again and they chuckled and told me the parts were not available but they could put me on the growing list they kept at the dealership. So I had not even made it onto the local dealer waiting list yet! to make matters worse, I got a call a week later from a Chrysler warranty customer center. I called back after the second call and told them that the dealer had laughed at me just two weeks before when I had asked if the parts were available. In addition to the defective gas tank location, my Jeep also has the air bags that can inadvertently inflate (supposedly with a few seconds of warning if you happen to be looking at the dashboard and notice a warning light). I got that recall fixed (a very low cost jumper) last fall. I understand that now my Jeep may also have a defective trw airbag inflator. I suspect this was the issue all along but Chrysler took the cheapest possible route (a jumper). Lastly, I have submitted a formal complaint on the NHTSA web site concerning my headlights going off by themselves while driving at night. They have done this multiple times and normally come back on within 5 seconds. There are many other complaints for this issue on the NHTSA site and yet there has been no recall for this without warning issue.

This has happen to my vehicle just about every time I go fill up at the gas station. I ask to fill it cash and every time the gas overflows out of filler tube. Gas runs down the side of my vehicle going all over the ground. Took it to my local dealership and had them look into the situation. After getting it back they told me that the npf (no problem found). I have done the research and have found TSB's from earlier model years of having the same problem. This issue of overflowing the tank is a serious condition and should be recalled due to the fact that 1. It has the potential to create an explosion. Gas overflowing onto the side of the vehicle omits vapors and the vapors are what explode. 2. With the gas going all over the side of the vehicle it prematurely takes away the top clear coat and paint layers. Which will eventually could go to bare metal creating a rust issue. 3 is the environmental issue, according to njdep if one drop of gas gets on the ground it legally has to be reported to them. Knowing that most stations are operated under extreme speeds, I highly doubt that it is being reported properly. I know for a fact that the service stations in my area the employees are clueless to the rules an regulations. I called the corporate office for a station and they said they were sorry and offered me a $10. 00 gift card. In hindsight it was not their fault. It is the faulty fuel tank and pressure system. This needs to be looked at seriously, just because there hasn't been a fire or any serious injuries to date doesn't mean it is not a real issue. I hope this gets looked into and properly mitigated. Thank you.

For about the last 2 years, every time I fill the gas tank to full I get fuel spray. I thought it might be stations pump handle but it happens at any station all the time. I also received a safety recall for the hitch receiver. I took it into the dealer and they said no problem. I was under the impression from the notice that the aftermarket unit would be replaced with a factory unit. I purchased this vehicle used when it was 3 years old.

When pushed to speed up at a fast rate and upon approaching 65mph or faster the service engine light flashes slowly. My mechanic found the code reader saying a misfire was happening. When that light flashes it starts to shake pretty bad. Determined that cylinder 1 has low compression. Only way to find out for sure what to do next is to tear down the motor which I do not have the money for that. Sad how waistful people are forced to be with vehicles. Its still pretty new!! we took good care of this Jeep maintaining it correctly since we got it with only 37k miles and has not had any problems till now. So this was a shock! before 37k miles I am not aware of this particular Jeep's engine repair history. Also this same Jeep had the clogged fuel line causing the tank to spill out while fueling up when it was not full yet.

I received a recall notice in August 2014 regarding the fuel tank on my car. It has taken until today to get the part at the dealership, jones of bel air. Some of the blame is due to the parts not being available and that jones did not contact me when the parts came in, as they said they would. I believe this has placed me at risk of harm due to the fuel tank leak that could cause a fire in the event of a collision.

Chrysler had a recall on this Jeep over fuel tank fires, I took the car to a local Jeep dealer twice (Jeep Chrysler Dodge city, 631 west putnam Ave, greenwich, CT 06830 on oct 25th and Nov 17th) (I made appointment at least two weeks earlier in both times), but were told there are no parts available for the recall.

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.

Every single time we fill up the car (no topping off), the gas shoots out of the tank back at us. We bought this used car for hoping it would be reliable, but this is a recurring dangerous problem. We lower the flow of fuel from the pump, but it still happens. Very dangerous! we have head that the plastic o ring swells with gasoline that contains ethanol and fails to cut the back flow off. The problem with this is, all pumps in our area contain at least 10% ethanol. What good is a car if you can't drive it?!.

I was sent a recall notice for my 2005 Jeep Liberty (n46 recall). After a long wait being told there were no parts available I finally got it into a dealer who told me they were unable to install the trailer hitch because of rust and that Chrysler states that it is a level 5 corrosion so they were unable to fix the problem. I find this very disturbing since there have been so many accidents with the gas tank exploding and burning the whole car on impacts, rollovers, etc. I feel very unsafe to drive this vehicle at this point and still feel that the dealer should be able to do something to fix this problem. . .

Received notice on n46 recall that hitch was available to install to take care of gas tank issue. Called local dealer lochmandy motors of elkhart indiana to set up date and time. I was told it was a class 2 hitch with a 2" receiver. I said I was removing my old hitch that was getting rusty . He said he had to order part and I will have to make the appointment when it came in. It came in and I made the appointment for install and again questioned the rating and received the same answer. I stopped in 3 days before my appointment to take a look at the hitch and I was shown the hitch and was told it is not meant to be used to tow. I questioned this and was told he knows I tow and and long as I do not try to tow as big as a house like some people do, then I should be fine. I was again told it was a class 2 and we both mentioned we see the 2" receiver. On day of install I called Chrysler main office directly to find out the ratings and they said "no" it not meant to be used to tow and it is just structural. She said the dealer knows this and they have a tag they place on the hitch after install stating this and I must sign off on this. At the time I looked at the hitch at the dealer before install he said there is no tag and 1 will placed on it after install. I called lochmandy motors right back and told them to remove it from my Jeep. The public and NHTSA are being mislead by Chrysler and the dealer and some one is going to get hurt trying to tow with this unit. How many people with disregard the label or have it removed and then the next owner pays the price. Chrysler knows this will happen. I will again have to spend money for an aftermarket part to fix a Chrysler fatal death issue.

I received a safety recall notice # n46/NHTSA 13v-252 last year stating the fuel tank on my vehicle has a chance of experiencing a fuel leak and requires inspection and installation of an oem trailer hitch, free of charge to better manage crash forces in low-speed impacts. Over the course of several months, I have made several attempts to resolve this matter with the following dealer with no success. I am repeatedly told the "parts are still not in", so they cannot help me. It has now been over 6 months with no resolution. Tuttle-click 40 auto center drive irvine, CA 949-472-7400.

I am a fleet manager with the colorado department of transportation. We possess several of these recalled vehicles. The recall states that the fuel tank is vulnerable to fuel leakage in the event of a rear end collision. Chrysler's fix is to install a trailer hitch to serve as additional structural reinforcement. I received three recall notices some months ago. Those notices stated that at that time, Chrysler did not have sufficient parts to effect the repairs, but that they would contact us when the parts were in stock. We heard nothing from Chrysler, when I received notices for 15 more vehicles. I contacted cherry creek Dodge and was told that they had 5 hitches in stock. When my staff dropped off a vehicle for repair, they were told we would have to take them to colorado Chrysler going forward. I called colorado Chrysler to see if they had parts. I was told they did not, and they did not expect to see any until the end of October. They said they were not permitted to order any, and that they were limited to an automatic replenishment of 5 hitches per month. Needless to say, this is ridiculous. These vehicles have a safety issue, and the Chrysler dealers are dragging their feet on repairing them. Meanwhile, I have employees driving unsafe vehicles. I suspect that since the newest vehicles affected by this recall are 7 years old, they are being cynical and betting that most of these vehicles will be off the road soon, so if they can drag out the process it will save them money. This is completely unacceptable!.

My Jeep has been on a waiting list for a year now for the fuel tank recall every time I call the dealership they say call us back in a couple months to see where we are on the list I don't feel it should take this long to be fixed.

Constant issue with fuel overflow when I fill the car with gas. The service station pump shuts off when the tank is full, but fuel comes gushing out of the filler neck. It happens at all gas stations.
