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... ...updated08/20/15 *bf *tr updated 9/25/2017*cn

An ongoing problem with the fuel gauge is that whenever i fill up i can drive about 20 miles (more or less) and then all of a sudden the engine light and gas light come on and the fuel gauge goes all the way to empty. which can be pretty scary the first time you see it happen and you're going 75 mph on the interstate. the second problem is the suspension. any time i turn the steering wheel it creaks. riding over even barely bumpy roads causes my car to creak and groan. it shakes horribly when driving between 50-55 or even idling but gets better when i take my foot off the gas, apply the brakes, or go at higher speeds. *tr

Safety recall notice n46 / nhtsa 13v-252 states that parts are not yet available. this recall was issued months ago yet parts are (still) unavailable. we consider this to be a high priority recall notice since it relates to dangers associated with the fuel tank in a rear end accident. i contacted our dealer today and as of june 10th 2014 parts are still unavailable and there is no time-frame given on when parts will be available to correct this dangerous condition. we believe this recall should be expedited. *tr

According to nhtsa, this vehicle is subject to a voluntary recall (n46/nhtsa 13v-252) that was to commence in july 2013. i received a letter confirming this from the manufacturer over two months ago that said i would be notified when the part to correct the problem was available. i have contacted chrysler twice and no one can say when the part will be available. since the part to correct the problem was a factory and/or dealer installed option when this car was built, and since there are many manufacturers with similar parts, i can only conclude that the unreasonable delay appears to be intentional. the longer chrysler waits, the fewer jeeps will need to be repaired. of course, each day without repair presents a safety risk that also decreases the value of my vehicle. *tr

A year ago, my fuel tank started to intermittently overflow a huge puddle of gas at the filling station when i filled up. now it happens every time i fuel up. i took to the dealer saturday and they said its a common problem among cherokees, but not libertys and there is no recall for either vehicle. the problem is a valve clog in the fuel tank. the fix is an $1800 new fuel tank. that's not going to happen! this seems to be a dangerous problem given all the fires at gas stations recently. every time i fill up i leave a large puddle of gas on the ground, all over my car and have to ride with the windows rolled down for first half hour after filling. only affordable fix is to not fill, but that's next to impossible to gauge. seems like you should look into this jeep-wide (and i think chrysler-wide) problem. *tr

I would like to know if chrysler/jeep will be complying with the settlement of installing trailer hitches to protect the gas tanks on jeep liberty vehicles? how long do we have to wait and how many more injuries or deaths have to occur before this issue is resolved? *tr

When you go to fill the gas tank , it overflows constantly , you cannot just stick the nozzle in and let it fill normally, you have to let it go very slowly and even then it will try to overflow. i believe this is a safety hazard. i always have gas spilled out on the pavement and on me most of the time. after researching and reading online forums, i have noticed this is a common problem and that there is a lot of frustration in trying to get someone to listen to our complaints and actually having a solution to this problem. i have also written to chrysler and haven't had any response. took it jeep to the dealership from which we purchased it , they said it wasn't under warranty and said to research online to fix the problem. had i known of this problem when we purchased the car, i would not have purchased it. *tr
