2008 Jeep Liberty complaints

2008 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 4X4, "BURPS" GASOLINE OUT OF THE GAS TANK EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS. I HAVE FILLED UP AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND EVERY TIME THE PUMP STOPS FILLING WHEN FULL, BUT THE JEEP SPITS OUT GAS AFTER THE PUMP STOPS. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, SINCE I SEE THIS AS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

I OWN A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND PURCHASED IN LATE NOVEMBER 2010. THE MILEAGE AT PURCHASE WAS ONLY 8,000 MILES. WHEN I FILLED THE TANK FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, IT OVERFLOWED, SPILLING GAS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, ON MY FEET, CLOTHES, HANDS, ETC. EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK, IT OVER FLOWS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS HIGHLY UNSAFE AS WELL AS AN INCONVENIENCE. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY SHUT OFF THE PUMP EARLY TO AVOID AN OVERFLOW. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I NEED A NEW GAS TANK AT $730. I AM NOW AT 17,000 MILES, WELL UNDER THE 3YR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT DUE TO THE DATE, THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THIS IS UNSAFE AND RIDICULOUS. A VEHICLE WITH 8,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE GAS SPILLING OUT OF THE TANK AT EVERY FILL. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON WRANGLERS FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT THE LIBERTY. *TR

I HAVE A WARNING DING THAT KEEPS RECURRING IN MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS AT COMPLETELY RANDOM TIMES, AND CAUSES THE DRIVER TO LOOK DOWN IN SEARCH OF WHAT THE WARNING IS IN REGARD TO, BUT THERE IS NOT A CORRESPONDING LIGHT. THE RANDOM WARNING DING HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS, ANYWHERE FROM AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 3 DAYS UP TO 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY. THERE ARE OTHER MINOR ISSUES HAPPENING WITH THE ELECTRICAL, AND THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR HAS BEEN AFFECTED AS WELL, BUT SEEMS TO BE OK RIGHT NOW. HOWEVER, I FEEL AS IF THIS ISSUE IS A WARNING SIGN FOR A BIGGER ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED. I DO NOT WISH TO BE THE CASE FOR WHICH EVERYONE ELSE BASIS THEIR EXAMPLES ON. I CANNOT SEEM TO GET CHRYSLER/JEEP TO FEEL THE URGENCY TO LOOK INTO THIS DEFECT, HOWEVER BASED ON THE RANDOM BEHAVIOR AND NO SUCCESS IN FINDING THE CAUSE, IT SEEMS THAT THIS SHOULD BE ONE OF THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE IT'S BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THE GAS TANK DOES NOT SHUT OFF PROPERLY AND GAS SPILLS OUT ALL OVER MY JEEP AND THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GET GAS AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I GO TO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE, THE FUEL SPILLED BACK OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THEY WOULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE IF THE CONTACT WOULD PAY A $200 DEDUCTIBLE FEE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACT WHO STATED THEY WOULD REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, BUT AT THE CONTACTS EXPENSE. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000. UPDATED 06/16/11 *BF UPDATED 02/03/2012 *LN *TR

WHEN FILLING WITH GAS, WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, GAS SPITS BACK OUT THE FILLER NECK, RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF OUR VEHICLE AND MAKES A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND.

JUST BOUGHT A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. EVERYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK UP IT SPITS GAS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. BOTH AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL OPERATION (FILL UP), IT DOES NOT MATTER. WHY??? *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A USED 2008 JEEP LIBERTY WITH 32,000 MILES. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN UNTIL AFTER A FEW FILL UPS, BUT NOW GAS SPEWS OUT AFTER FILLING THE TANK. I GETS ALL OVER THE CAR, THE GROUND AND MY SHOES. *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS AND 5 MONTHS. IT HAS 43,000 MILES. FOUR MONTHS AGO THE ISSUE BEGAN WHILE FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS. THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL CAUSING AN OVERFLOW OF GASOLINE ONTO THE CAR AND GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE REFUEL. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE REFUELED JUST TO ENSURE IT WAS NOT USER ERROR AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS. WE HAVE ALSO USED MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT AN ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FOUND AND A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. THE CONSUMER STATED CHRYSLER AGREED TO PAY FOR THE FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT AND THEREFORE REQUEST TO DELETE THIS COMPLAINT. UPDATED 06/07/11 *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4 IN NOVEMBER 2010, AND EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE FILLED UP WITH GAS, THE FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK JUST AS THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT EVERY GAS STATION AND EVERY TYPE OF PUMP I HAVE USED. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE THE GAS RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE (NEAR THE EXHAUST), ONTO THE GROUND, AND OFTEN GETS ON ME. I CANNOT IMAGINE THIS IS SAFE. NOT ONLY IS THE SPILL HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT, IT IS ALSO A FIRE HAZARD. AND, WITH FUEL PRICES CREEPING UP, I BECOME MORE AND MORE FRUSTRATED AT THIS WASTED FUEL THAT I AM PAYING FOR. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT A SIMILAR ISSUE WAS FOUND IN 2007-2008 JEEP WRANGLERS, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL. PLEASE MAKE CHRYSLER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY VALVE THAT IS SUPPOSEDLY CAUSING THIS ISSUE - FOR THE SAFETY AND PIECE OF MIND OF ALL LOYAL JEEP OWNERS. *TR

WHILE FILLING 2008 JEEP LIBERTY, PAST 6 TIMES, THE GAS TENDS TO SEEP OUT. MILEAGE WHEN STARTED ~43K MILES. EVEN WHEN THE RUBBER COVER OVER THE GAS NOZZLE FITS SNUG WITH THE THROAT OF THE GAS INLET, GAS HAS LEAKED. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THAT WILL NOT SHUT OFF THE GAS VALVE WHEN I AM PUMPING GAS. I PREVIOUSLY HAD A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE GAS DRIPS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR, TIRE AND EVENTUALLY ON THE PERSON PUMPING GAS CREATING A VERY LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS THAT REQUIRES CLEANUP FROM THE GAS ATTENDANT. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH 2 DIFFERENT STYLES OF JEEPS AT VARIOUS GAS STATIONS. *TR

THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME FUEL IS PUMPED INTO THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS AND REGARDLESS OF HOW SLOWLY THE TANK IS FILLED. THE PROBLEM STARTED SEEMINGLY OUT OF THE BLUE WITH NO ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE TO THE CAR PRIOR. GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AS SOON AS THE PUMP IS REMOVED, GETTING THE PERSON WET IF THEY DO NOT KNOW TO STAND ASIDE. GAS ALSO RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL / EMISSIONS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP. THE INTERIOR SMELLS OF GAS FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER EACH OVERFLOW INCIDENT. WE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY SAID THE ENTIRE GAS TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE VALVE THAT HAS FAILED. WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY AND FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AND/OR EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERED ITEM. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE FOR SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IT IS ENDEMIC TO MANY JEEP LIBERTY AND JEEP WRANGLER VEHICLES MADE OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. JEEP HAS ONLY OFFERED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR WRANGLERS FROM 2007-08. *TR

WHEN PUTTING FUEL IN THE TANK, IT WILL BURP OUT THE FILL LINE JUST AS THE PUMP IS CLICKING OFF. CANNOT FILL THE TANK WITHOUT THIS HAPPENING AND IT OCCURS EVERY TIME WE FUEL UP. THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO AND WE HAVE LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT NOW. NO EVENT LED UP TO THIS STARTING, IT JUST STARTED WHEN TRYING TO FUEL UP. NO MATTER HOW I TRY TO FUEL UP, I GET SLOSH BACK. THIS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD BESIDES THE FILLING STATIONS DO NOT LIKE HAVING GASOLINE SPILLED IN THEIR STATIONS. IT IS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4. I HAD THE CAR AT BROWN DODGE, CHRYSLER, JEEP TODAY AND THEY CHECKED OUT THE GAS TANK AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY DID A THOROUGH CHECK AND COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. VIN # [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY WITH 45K MILES. NOW WITH GAS TANK OVERFLOW WHEN FILLING BOTH AUTOMATICALLY AND MANUALLY. GAS OVERFLOWS ONTO CAR AND GROUND EVERY TIME TANK IS FILLED COMPLETELY, DOESN'T MATTER HOW YOU ADJUST NOZZLE OR WHICH GAS STATIONS IS USED. DEALER UNABLE TO LOCATE PROBLEM DESPITE MULITPLE COMPLAINTS FILED TO VARIOUS SAFETY AGENCIES. HUGE SAFETY AND HEALTH CONSEQUENCES. *TR

PUTTING GASOLINE INTO MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY, THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AS EXPECTED HOWEVER GASOLINE SPEWS OUT OF THE JEEP'S FILLING SYSTEM. TRIED DIFFERENT PUMPS SAME RESULTS, THIS OCCURS WITHOUT "TOPPING OFF THE TANK". THIS I A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WITH GAS BEING SPILLED ON MY CLOTHING, SHOES, HANDS, VEHICLE AND GROUND. ONCE THIS HAPPENS THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE GAS CAUSING HEADACHES AND BREATHING PROBLEMS. I AM JUST WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO CAUSE A SPARK AT THE GAS PUMP TO IGNITE ME. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS INTERNET FORUMS STATING THE SAME ISSUES, THIS TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM THAT JEEP HAS NOT ADDRESSED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH AS TRANSMISSION FLUID BEGAN ABNORMALLY LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE TRANSMISSION SEAL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION SEAL AND HOUSING EXTENSION BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD EXHIBIT AN UNUSUAL KNOCKING. ON ONE OCCASION WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED AND THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO STOP THE ACCELERATION BY ABRUPTLY APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,850 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

FUEL SPURTS AND SPILLS OUT AFTER EACH FILL-UP AFTER GAS NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. JEEP 2008 LIBERTY WITH 44,000 MILES. *TR

WE HAVE AN OVERFLOWING GAS TANK. WHEN PUMP CLICKS THAT THE TANK IS FULL GAS COMES POURING OUT ONTO MYSELF AND THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

WHILE FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THE GAS PUMP SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY AS IT SHOULD HAVE, BUT A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS SPIT OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILL TUBE ALL OVER THE GROUND AND VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN A ROW THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE TANK VENTING. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 19,254 MILES ON IT. *TR

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.

AT AROUND THE 74,000 MILE MARKER, MY GAS TANK BEGAN SPEWING OUT GASOLINE UPON FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION. THE TANK HOLDS ROUGHLY 17.5 GALLONS, AND THE NOZZLE (UP TO THIS POINT) WOULD ALWAYS AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF UPON A FULL TANK WHEN AT THE PUMP. NOW, WHEN THE TANK IS NEARING FULL, THE FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE GAS TANK, LEAKING GASOLINE ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ON MY HANDS, SHOES, CLOTHES AND GROUND. THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND AVOID THIS ISSUE IS TO ESTIMATE A CUT-OFF POINT IN WHICH TO STOP PUMPING FUEL AT AROUND THE 17.0 GALLON MARK, WHICH IS STILL VERY HARD TO DO WITHOUT THE SPILLAGE OCCURRING AND OFTEN LEAVES ME WITH A PARTIAL FILLUP TO AVOID GETTING SOAKED IN GASOLINE. AS OF 4 DAYS AGO, MY GASCAP AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. I'VE FULLY REFUELED 3 TIMES SINCE THEN AND TIGHTENED THE GAS CAP AND THE LIGHTS HAVE NOT DISAPPEARED. I OFTEN SUFFER HEADACHES FROM THE GASOLINE FUMES THAT I CARRY BACK INTO THE VEHICLE ON MY HANDS, CLOTHES AND FEET FROM THE GAS SPILLAGE THAT OCCURS WHEN I FILL UP. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON AMONGST JEEP OWNERS BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF FORUMS I'VE FOUND ONLINE.

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.

EVERY TIME I FUEL MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THE FUEL NOZZLE DOES NOT SHUT OFF PROPERLY WHEN FULL, CAUSING FUEL TO SPEW OUT ONTO THE CAR, MY HANDS, MY CLOTHING AND THE CONCRETE BENEATH THE CAR AT THE GAS STATION. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY ON 3/9/2010 AND THEY REPLACED THE FILLER TUBE. THE REPAIR DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN LIVING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR A YEAR NOW. TODAY, WHILE AT THE GAS STATION, THE PERSON IN THE ISLE NEXT TO ME, DRIVING A 2008, 4-DOOR JEEP WRANGLER, HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I ASKED HER ABOUT IT AND SHE SAID THE PROBLEM HAD JUST BEGUN FOR HER IN THE PAST MONTH, BUT IT NOW HAPPENS TO HER EVERY FUEL UP. I DECIDED I WOULD LOOK INTO IT FURTHER. AFTER SEEING THE MULTIPLE ONLINE POSTS, I DECIDED TO MAKE A COMPLAINT, AS THIS IS OBVIOIUSLY A DEFECT WITH JEEP VEHICLES. *TR

WHEN MAKING A TURN ONTO AN UNLEVEL PAVED ROAD (SUCH AS TURNING ONTO A ROAD WHEN TRAVELING UP OR DOWN A SMALL HILL, OR A ROAD WITH AN UNEVEN SURFACE), MY CAR CONSISTENTLY LOSES TRACTION AND DECELERATES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHES. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING ON WET ROADS, AND WHEN DRIVING ON LIGHTLY SANDY SURFACES (SUCH AS THE ROADS ALONG OUR BEACH NEARBY). WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR OFTEN SLOWS TO AN UNSAFE SPEED AND IS DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A TURN TO CROSS A ROAD WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I PURCHASED THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO FOR MYSELF, WITH THE INTENTION OF GIVING IT TO MY DAUGHTER WHEN SHE REACHED DRIVING AGE THIS YEAR. WITH THIS DEFECT, I DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE AS SAFE FOR HER TO DRIVE UNLESS THIS PROBLEM GETS RESOLVED. *TR

FUEL SPILL DURING REFUELING. WHILE REFUELING THE CAR, WHEN THE TANK WAS ALMOST FULL, FUEL STARTED TO SPILL RESULTING IN SPRAYING THE CAR AND THE GROUND WITHIN 3 FEET RADIUS WITH GAS. THIS CREATES A RISK OF FIRE AND HEALTH HAZARDS BY SPILLING GAS ONTO SKIN. CHRYSLER/JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE A TSB FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT REFUSE TO MAKE A RECALL. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE OF THE PROBLEM ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER 3 TIMES FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE FAILED TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

THE FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN FUELING THE CAR RESULTING IN GAS ON THE VEHICLE AND GROUND OF THE GAS STATION. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT NEEDED A FUEL VAPOR FILTER REPLACED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOW THE DEALER STATES I NEED A NEW GAS TANK. SINCE THIS IS A NON-MAINTAINABLE PART I FEEL IT IS A MFR. DEFECT AND A VERY UNSAFE ONE AT THAT. *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER WRITES REGARDING ELECTRICAL/ COMPUTER PROBLEMS *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED FROM THE BEGINNING HE HAD INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE ALARM WOULD GO OFF, THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS WOULD NOT ACTIVATE. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, BUT WERE UNABLE TO ISOLATE THE PROBLEM. *JB

WHILE FILLING MY JEEP WITH GASOLINE THE PUMP IS NEVER TRIGGERED TO SHUTOFF AND IT CAUSES A LOT OF FUEL SPILLING ALL OVER ME, THE CAR AND THE GROUND. PROMPTING ME TO QUICKLY CLEAN MYSELF AND THE CAR. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION NOT ONLY DUE TO ITS FLAMMABILITY BUT ALSO ITS POTENTIAL CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS. *TR

WHEN PUTTING GASOLINE INTO THE GAS TANK, THE PUMP IS NEVER TRIGGERED TO TURN OFF. THUS CAUSING A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FUEL TO GUSH OUT OF THE TANK AND ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND AND SOMETIMES THE PERSON PUMPING THE FUEL. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE NOZZLE DOES NOT TRIGGER TO RELEASE THE SHUT OFF ON THE GAS COMING BACK OUT OF THE INPUT WHICH RESULTS IN A LOT OF GAS OVERFLOWING BACK ONTO MY VEHICLE, THE GROUND AND MY CLOTHES. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF I WATCH THE AMOUNT OF GALLONS BEING PUT INTO THE TANK AND TRY AND SHUT IT OFF AHEAD OF TIME. *TR

WE JUST BOUGHT A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY WITH 25000 MILES ON IT AND EVERYTIME WE FILL UP IT SPEWS GAS. I HAVE TRIED PUTTING THE GAS NOZZLE IN FARTHER, OUT HALF WAY, FILLING IT UP SLOWLY BUT STILL EVERYTIME THE NOZZLE CLICKS ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO LATER GAS SPEWS FROM THE TANK. *TR

THE EMERGENCY BRAKES ON MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY DOES NOT HOLD. I COMPLAINED TO 2 JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY JEEP AND THEY COULD REPLACE THE WHOLE EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM AT MY EXPENSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SMART KEY THAT REGULATED THE DRIVER SEAT FAILED. THE KEY WAS USES TO MOVE THE DRIVER SEAT IN PLACE TO ACCOMMODATE THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE DEALER TESTED THE KEYS BY REMOVING THE CHIP AND REPLACING IT WITH A NEW CHIP BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO STATED THAT THEY HAD SPOKEN WITH THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THEY OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,135.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE NOZZLE DOES NOT TRIGGER TO RELEASE THE SHUT OFF ON THE GAS COMING BACK OUT OF THE INPUT WHICH RESULTS IN A LOT OF GAS OVERFLOWING BACK ONTO MY VEHICLE, THE GROUND AND MY CLOTHES. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF I WATCH THE AMOUNT OF GALLONS BEING PUT INTO THE TANK AND TRY AND SHUT IT OFF AHEAD OF TIME. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH OTHER JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS AND HAVE GONE ON LINE AND HAVE SEEN THIS TO BE A COMPLAINT OF MANY. I ALSO CALLED JEEP AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM DIRECTLY. THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF THING HAPPENING. THIS CAN'T BE VERY SAFE HAVING A QUARTER OF A GALLON OF GAS SHOOTING OUT EVERY TIME YOU FILL UP THE TANK. PLEASE HELP. *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY CHATTERS WHEN BACKING UP SLIGHT INCLINE. PROBLEM SINCE NEW. STILL UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER INSTALLED TORQUE CONVERTER AND NEW REAR DRIVE SHAFT ON TWO DIFFERENT VISITS. NEITHER SOLVED ISSUE. DEALER AND CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS "...THE NATURE OF THE BEAST." LOCAL SERVICE REP. TOLD ME THAT HE'S DRIVEN SEVERAL WITH SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO GO ANY FURTHER WITH SOLVING THE ISSUE, BASICALLY, TELLING ME TO "...LIVE WITH IT." IF, INDEED, IT IS "...THE NATURE OF THE BEAST...," SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS? AT THIS POINT, I'M LOOKING INTO LITIGATION FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, AS THEIR WARRANTY ASSURES ME A FLAWLESS PRODUCT. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUDDER OR JERK WHILE BACKING UP ON AN INCLINE. THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED BY A CHRSYLER REP TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP TO GET A DIAGNOSIS ONLY. THE REPAIR SHOP BELIEVED THE PROBLEM WAS THE FRONT U-JOINT ON THE REAR DRIVELINE WHICH WAS VERY STIFF IN ONE DIRECTION, THE SLIP YOKE WAS A LITTLE STIFF AND THE HILL BRAKE DID NOT RELEASE QUICK ENOUGH. THE DRIVELINE WAS INSTALLED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. UPDATED 01/12/11. *JB *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE PARKED AND FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE FUEL TANK DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO MAKE THE FUEL STOP. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM SO THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

2008 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED. GAS OVERFLOWS. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. GAS CONTINUES TO SPEW OUT AFTER FILLING. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *TR

JEEP LIBERTY 2008 GAS GUSHING OUT EVERY TIME AFTER FILLING TANK - ACCORDING TO DEALER, ROLL-OVER VALVE IS FAULTY INSIDE GAS TANK SO ENTIRE GAS TANK MUST BE REPLACED (ABOUT $800+). THIS VALVE ENSURES THAT GAS WILL NOT LEAK INTO VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF A ROLL-OVER ACCIDENT; ALSO ENSURES GAS WON'T SHOOT OUT OF THE GAS TANK AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. GAS ERUPTS OUT OF TANK AND BACK ONTO THE FACE, BODY AND FEET OF THE CONSUMER AS WELL AS ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND NEAR GAS PUMPS. VERY UNSAFE HAZARD. NOT A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM BUT RATHER A DEFECTIVE PART INSIDE THE GAS TANK. SHOULD NOT BE THE CONSUMER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE. VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD WITH 40,000 MILES LOGGED. THIS OCCURS EACH AND EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED WHETHER OR NOT IT IS ON AUTO-FILL OR MANUALLY REGULATED. TRICKY WORK TO MANUALLY STOP GAS FLOW BEFORE IT GUSHES OUT. LODGED COMPLAINT WITH JEEP OF AMERICA BUT WAS TOLD ONLY POSSIBLE RECOURSE WAS TO PAY FOR REPAIR MYSELF; SUBMIT CLAIM TO THEM AFTER THE FACT, AND THEY MAY OR MAY NOT DECIDE TO ASSIST ME WITH COSTS (THEY WON'T CALL IT REIMBURSEMENT) FOR SOME OR ALL OF MY EXPENSES. THEY CLAIMED NO RESPONSIBILITY AND COMPLETE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THIS CONCERN IS POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET IN VARIOUS FORUMS. THANK YOU. *TR

2008 JEEP LIBERTY. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED EACH TIME HE FILLED THE GAS TANK, GASOLINE SPILLED OUT OF THE FILL OPENING MOMENTS AFTER THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF WAS TRIGGERED. THE SPILL OCCURRED IN A BOILING TYPE MANNER AND THE VOLUME OF THE SPILL WAS SIGNIFICANT. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED, THROUGHOUT THE THREE YEARS HE HAS OWNED THE VEHICLE, HE HAD A PROBLEM WITH RAIN GETTING INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE POINT OF ENTRY APPEARED TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE REAR LIFT GATE. THE WATER VOLUME WAS SIGNIFICANT AND NOT ONLY SOAKED THE REAR BED, BUT IT ALSO RAN TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND SOAKED THE FRONT PASSENGER CARPET. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED TWICE, WITH THE REPORT THAT SOME DRAINS PORTS WERE CLOGGED. THE LAST REPAIR INVOLVED SOME ADDITIONAL CAULKING. *JB

WHEN REFUELING, VEHICLE GUSHES FUEL BACK OUT AT THE CONSUMER AFTER PUMP CLICKS OFF. HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT LAST MONTH. IT IS DANGEROUS AND ENVIRONMENTALLY BAD TO SPEW FUEL ON CONSUMER AND ON THE GROUND, FOR FIRE AND HEALTH REASONS. *TR

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. *TR

DURING REGULAR REFILL THE CAR SPILLED FUEL, AROUND 250ML OF IT. IN LAST 2 MONTH IT IS A REGULAR OCCURRENCE AND POSES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE CAR OCCUPANTS ALONG WITH THE GAS STATION. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS THE JEEP SPEWS GAS BACK OUT FORCEFULLY AND ABOUT 4 CUPS FLY OUT ALL OVER SOME TIMES THE NOZZLE CLICKS AND SOME TIMES IT DOES NOT. I HAVE HAD THIS JEEP FOR OVER ONE YEAR AND THIS STARTED HAPPENING FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. 2008 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NO RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE GAS COMES OUT FAST AND SPRAYS. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS AS IT IS A HAZARD AND NOT A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. *TR

WHEN I AM REFUELING MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY 1 OUT OF 4 TIMES THE FUEL DOES NOT STOP WHEN FILLED AND SPILLS OUT EVERYWHERE. GAS SPLASHES ON ME, THE GROUND AND MY CAR. THIS HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND PUMPS AND SEEMS VERY UNHEALTHY AND DANGEROUS. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GASTANK AS NORMAL, GASOLINE OVERFLOWS FROM THE GASTANK. IT SPEWS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT (APPROX 1/4 LITER OF GASOLINE). *TR

VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND WOULD NOT STOP. I DID HARD BRAKING AND IT JUST PUSHED IT ANYWAY. PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND THE WHEELS DUG TRENCHES IN THE DIRT. GOT IT STOPPED, CALLED A WRECKER AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE JEEP DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT THE THROTTLE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG AND THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE. THEY RESET THE COMPUTER AND SENT ME HOME. I AM CONCERNED IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS ? *TR
