Tl* the contact owns a 2008 jeep liberty. while the contact was filling the fuel tank, the fuel pump sensor did not alert her that the tank was full. as a result, fuel spewed out of the tank. the failure recurred numerous times at different fuel stations. the contact stated that she could not fill the fuel tank because fuel would flow out. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the fuel station pump sensors failed. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. the approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

When fueling the gas spits back onto the car and attendant on fill-ups since i live in nj we don't pump are own gas so my attention was on the attendant. the attendant explained to me that this happens to a lot of the jeep products and after researching it does seem like a chronic problem that somehow doesn't meet the safety level for the nhtsb to issue the proper recall? i'm dumbfounded

It starts but doesn't crank, warning lights and codes flash, abs shuts down when stopping at a stop light,lose of power while driving, skipping stationary and in motioneas and bas plus check engine light, i have to shut off all electrical buttons for car to start, over heats only when idle, replaced alternator and battery and still and starts and won't crank,

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.

Amongst other issues: vehicle fails to start occasionally, from both cold and warm states. from completely off, turning the key begins ignition but often does not start the vehicle. engine sputters but does not complete the start. on some occasions, depressing the gas pedal while trying to start the vehicle works, leading me to believe this is one of the widely reported tipm issues plaguing jeeps from 2007-2014. i conclude the fuel pump fails to receive a signal to start from the tipm which causes the ignition failure. in addition, i have had multiple electrical issues including doors locking and unlocking when the opposite corresponding buttons are pressed, windshield wipers turning on when the turn signal is used, warning lights on the dashboard reporting non-issues, failure of power steering, and failure to accelerate when the gas pedal is depressed. please address this issue as soon as possible.

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.

When filling the vehicle with gas there is a "burp" that pushes gas out of the pipe to the tank. it's like the tank isn't venting, and building pressure when filling. this happens on evey fill-up. i thought the service station shut off were the problem, but after being on a web site, there are alot more with the same problem.

When i fill up my gas tank, there is always a moderate amount of gas that comes out and goes down the side of my car. this has occurred at multiple different stations with all octane levels of gas. it ejects about .1-.2 gallons of gas from the fuel entrance. this occurs right before the automatic shut-off closes on the fuel pump. *tr
