2008 Jeep Liberty complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL SPILLED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE FAILURE RECURRED EVERY TIME THE CONTACT WOULD REFUEL THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

SAFETY CONCERN: WHILE FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY, BUT A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE GROUND, VEHICLE, AND ON THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE GASTANK OVERFLOWS AND SPITS OUT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE EVERY TIME YOU GET GAS! IT IS A HAZARD AND A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER JEEP FOR A YEAR NOW AND THEY REFUSE TO ASSIST IN CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET THE GASTANK REPAIRED AND IT STILL WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY. FROM MY RESEARCH THERE ARE MANY OF THESE COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I CAN'T BELIEVE JEEP HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. I AM WORRIED EVERYDAY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY FAMILY. I'M NOT WILLING TO TAKE ANY MORE CHANCES WITH GAS ALL OVER THE TRUCK EVERY TIME I DRIVE, AND HOW CAN I GO ABOUT SELLING A CAR TO SOMEONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT SURE WHERE TO GO NEXT. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR

WHILE FILLING WITH FUEL, WHEN ALMOST FULL, FUEL WOULD GUSH OUT OF THE FILLER. THIS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY. *TR

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS AFTER IT IS FILLED. JEEP SERVICE TOLD ME IT IS CAUSED BY A CUT-OFF VALVE DEFECT NO LONGER COVERED BY WARRANTY AND THAT THE REPAIR COSTS $750.00 AND INVOLVES REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. I SEE FROM THE INTERNET THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON TO THIS VEHICLE. HAVE YOU PREVIOUSLY BEEN MADE AWARE OF IT AND IS IT THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL? IT IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THE GAS LITERALLY SPEWS OUT OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL VIOLENTLY SPLASHES OUT OF FUEL FILL TUBE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP. FUEL SPLASHES ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE PERSON FILLING IT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM. *TR

DURING REFUELING AT SERVICE STATION FUEL SPILLS FROM TANK FILLER AFTER THE AUTOMATIC FUEL FILLER SHUTOFF VALVE TURNS OFF (ABOUT A CUP OF FUEL BURPS OUT). EXTREME FIRE HAZARD! PROBLEM HAS GONE FROM ONCE IN A NUMBER OF FILLS TO EVERY TIME! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUNROOF DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE AND ALLOWED WATER TO LEAK IN DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,920 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WHILE FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY AS IT SHOULD HAVE BUT, A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILL TUBE ALL OVER THE GROUND, VEHICLE, AND ON THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS WHEN HOLDING THE NOZZLE GRIP MANUALLY. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL UP AND OCCURS EVEN WHEN MANUALLY HOLDING THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE. I FILED A COMPLAINT THROUGH MYCARSTATS.COM BUT NOTICED THAT THE REPORTS ON THIS ISSUE HAVE STARTED TO INCREASES QUITE A BIT SINCE MY REPORT A FEW MONTHS AGO. THE COMPLAINTS ARE SPREAD THROUGHOUT MANY COMPLAINT FORUMS ON THE INTERNET. THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM ACROSS THE BOARD AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE SINCE IT IS DEALING WITH A HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE SUBSTANCE. MANY HAVE TAKEN THIS UP WITH VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE. THIS IS WHERE THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STEP IN AND GET THIS ISSUE ON THE RECALL LIST FOR JEEP LIBERTY'S AND WRANGLER'S. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY USED FROM A TOLEDO DEALERSHIP IN APRIL OF 2011. THE FUEL AUTO SHUT-OFF DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, AND EVERY TIME WE TOP OFF THE TANK FUEL ENDS UP "BURPING" ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ONTO THE GROUND, AND IN SOME CASES ONTO THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE. EVEN THE SALESPERSON COMPLAINED THAT SHE GOT FUEL ON HER WHEN WE ASKED HER TO TOP IT OFF BEFORE WE DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT WE HAD WITH OUR 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. HOWEVER, THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THAT AND A NEW FUEL TANK AND NECK HAD TO BE INSTALLED THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THE 2008 JEEP LIBERTY TO FIX WHAT SEEMS TO BE AN IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED AND REMEDIATED. EVERY TIME I'VE CONTACTED THE ORIGINAL AND LOCAL DEALERSHIPS REGARDING THE ISSUE I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER OVER 3 YEARS OF NO PROBLEMS WHEN FUELING OUR LIBERTY, WE BEGAN TO HAVE GAS SPEW OUT AT EVERY FILL-UP. THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL, AND GAS COMES BACK OUT FORCEFULLY ENOUGH TO HIT THE PERSON PUMPING THE GASOLINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE COMPUTER AND FUSE BOX MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO A BACK ORDER OF THE PARTS NEEDED FOR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000. UPDATED 02/15/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. THE HORN STARTED HONKING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATED AND THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND EVENTUALLY REPAIRED. UPDATED 02/17/12

MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY HAS OVERFLOWED FUEL WHEN FILLING THE TANK 3 OUT OF THE 6 TIMES I HAVE FILLED IT SINCE PURCHASED ON 11/28. IT HAS HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. WHEN THE PUMP KICKS OFF THERE IS BETWEEN 2-8 OUNCES OF FUEL THAT SPITS BACK AROUND THE HANDLE WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF PRESSURE. THE AREA UNDERNEATH THE FILLER CAP IS SOAKED AND A LARGE PUDDLE FORMS ON THE GROUND. I AM CONCERNED THAT AT SOME POINT A FIRE MAY RESULT. I ALSO FEEL I MUST WASH THE CAR AFTER EVERY INCIDENT BECAUSE I WORRY ABOUT THE GAS CAUSING A PAINT DEFECT. *KB

THANKS FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY;; EXPERIENCED EXACTLY THE IDENTICAL RAINWATER FLOODING PROBLEM , FROM THE RIGHT HINGE ABOVE THE HATCHBACK OF MY 2008 LIBERTY, FIRST SATURATING THE CARGO AREA, THEN MOVING FORWARD SATURATING THE FRONT CABIN FLOOR!

PLEASE TAKE ALL KUDDOS AWAY FROM JEEP INC!! P.S. SOMEONE TRIED TO SILICONE AROUND THAT RIGHT CARGO HATCH HINGE THEN USE TOUCH-UP PAINT ON IT;; I THINK IT WAS THE DEALER; BUT THEY DENY IT!! BUT THE JEEP WAS A LEASE BEFORE I BOUGHT IT!! SO NO ONE ELSE WAS SUPPOSED TO TOUCH THE CAR; RIGHT? I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN ,, IF I HADN'T READ ANOTHER POST DESCRIBING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM!! I OWE THEM!! THANKS!! *KB

WHEN FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, THE GAS TANK OVER FLOWS BEFORE THE PUMP STOPS. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS A BROKEN PUMP, HOWEVER, I HAVE NOW FILLED UP OVER 4 TIMES AT 4 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THIS MOST RECENT TIME I HAVE LOST AROUND 1/2 GALLON OF GAS ON THE GROUND. I AM ALSO CONCERNED WITH THE EFFECT OF THE GAS ON MY PAINT/CAR BODY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AIR WAS ABNORMALLY SEEPING INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE MANUFACTURER IN REGARDS TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V455000 (VISIBILITY: WINDSHIELD), BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, FUEL WOULD SPILL BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000. UPDATED 01/24/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE FILLED THE VEHICLE UP WITH GAS, IT SPLASHED BACK OUT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL FILL TUBE. UPDATED 01/25/12

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK IT SPLASHES OUT AND GET ALL OVER THE JEEP AND THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK. *TR

REAR WINDOW WIPER MOTOR IS INOPERATIVE, FLUID SPRAY REAR WINDOW IS OPERATIVE. *TR

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK WITH FUEL, FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE SPLASHING ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE PERSON PUMPING THE FUEL, AND ONTO THE GROUND. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT INTERNAL RELATING TO THE FILLER VALVE OR FUEL TANK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE EVALUATED AS A SAFETY RECALL. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY JEEP THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND I REMOVE THE PUMP AND GAS WILL BUBBLE OUT OF THE TANK AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *KB

THE LAST 3 TIMES I HAVE FILLED THE GAS TANK ON MY VEHICLE, GAS HAS OVERFLOWED ONTO THE GROUND. AFTER THE 2ND TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED THE CODE READ THAT THE FILLER NECK WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ADVISED THEM THAT I HAD AN ISSUE WITH GAS OVERFLOWING ONTO THE GROUND WHEN FILLING UP AND WAS ADVISED IT "MAY" BE FIXED BY THE NEW FILLER NECK SINCE THERE IS A SENSOR IN THERE. I HAD THE FILLER NECK REPLACED. I FILLED THE JEEP AGAIN TODAY, ROUGHLY A WEEK AFTER HAVING THE FILLER NECK REPLACED, AND AGAIN GAS OVERFLOWED AND LEAKED DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. UP UNTIL THIS POINT, WHEN FILLING MY JEEP, THE GAS PUMP WOULD CLICK OFF WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. I HAVE GONE TO THREE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SO IT IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP AT THE STATION. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. MOST TIMES, THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUTOFF A THE GAS PUMP .... AT VARIOUS STATIONS ... DOES NOT STOP THE FLOW. AT OTHER TIMES, FUEL GUSHES OUT EVEN IF THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I HAVE TRIED SLOWING THE RATE FUEL GOES INTO THE TANK. SOMETIMES THIS WORKS. OTHER TIMES, IT DOESN'T. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION IS TO TRY TO CALCULATE HOW MUCH FUEL IT WILL TAKE TO FILL THE VEHICLE AND THEN STOP THE FLOW MYSELF A COUPLE OF GALLONS EARLY. THERE IS A JEEP TSB OUT ON THIS PROBLEM. AND THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. THE FUEL SPILLAGE ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. *TR

I BOUGHT MY JEEP IN JUNE WITH JUST OVER 36000 MILES. IT WAS PREVIOUSLY A RENTAL VEHICLE. EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL ABOUT SEPTEMBER WHEN I FILLED GAS AND THE PUMP CLICKED OFF AND GAS CAME OUT ALL OVER AT ABOUT 42,000 MILES. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS PUMP, BUT THEN I WENT TO OTHER STATIONS AND IT HAPPENED EVERY TIME. I WAS GOING TO BRING IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BUT I SEE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS VERY IRRITATING TO HAVE IT HAPPEN EVERY TIME! PLEASE HAVE A RECALL! *TR

A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK OPENING AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF OF THE PUMPS GAS FLOW. THIS OCCURS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I NOW HAVE TO ONLY ALLOW THE TANK TO FILL UP 3/4 FULL TO AVOID SPILLS. *TR

SUDDEN ENGINE ACCELERATION INCIDENT. MY WIFE AND I WERE LEAVING A PARKING LOT. AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE I DROVE FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE TO A STOP SIGN. I PUT THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND WAITED FOR A CAR TO EXIT THE INTERSECTION AND FOR SOME PEDESTRIANS TO CROSS. SUDDENLY, WITHOUT TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RACE. I LOOKED AT THE TACHOMETER. THE ENGINE THAT NORMALLY IDLES AT ABOUT 600 RPM WAS RUNNING AT 2500 RPM. I SAT AT THE STOP SIGN FOR A FEW MOMENTS AND DECIDED THE THROTTLE MUST HAVE STUCK. WITH THE STICK SHIFT IN NEUTRAL I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR HOPING TO UNSTICK THE THROTTLE. THE ENGINE ROARED TO 3500 RPM AND STAYED THERE FOR 10-20 SECONDS. THEN THE RPMS STARTED TO DROP BACK DOWN TO NORMAL IDLE.. WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND DRY TEMPERATURE 60 DEGREES, TIME 3 PM. IT WAS SCARY. IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN GEAR WHEN THE ENGINE TOOK OFF, I WOULD HAVE TAKEN OFF. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR

I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT MANY VEHICLES WITH THE SUNROOF LIKE MINE AND I'M REALLY WONDERING IF THIS HAS HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. *TR

POWER WINDOWS FAIL TO OPEN, OR FAIL TO CLOSE IF EVER OPENED. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS SPITS BACK OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. THIS IS NOT FROM TOPPING OFF AS IT HAPPENS WHEN THE PUMP HANDLE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. ALSO HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS. VERY HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS. *TR

AT THE END OF FILLING GAS TANK, GAS BACKWASHES OUT OF THE FILLING TUBE DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,355 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

DURING FUELING AT THE END OF THE PROCESS THE FUEL PUMP WILL "CLICK" OFF. AFTER THE CLICK, A FAIR AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLS FROM THE FUEL TANK DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND A WASTE OF FUEL. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE ALUMINUM TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WAS CORRODED.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY, FUEL WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE TANK FILLER TUBE ON TO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND AFTER THE FUEL PUMP HAS SHUT OFF. FUEL OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AFTER THE FUEL PUMP IS SHUT OFF, EVEN WHEN FILLING IT AT A LOW FLOW RATE. IT STARTED OCCURRING WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES. *TR

AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE, A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT ALL OVER MY HAND, THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT DUE TO OVER FILLING, EVEN IF I TRY TO STOP IT EARLY, FUEL STILL SPLASHES BACK OUT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER-JEEP. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH GAS IT OVER FILLS EVERYTIME. THE PUMP IS STOPPED WHEN FULL, BUT IT WILL OVER FILL ENOUGH TO WHERE IT WILL COME SPRAYING OUT. *TR

EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL MY TANK WITH GAS THERE IS A SPILL OVER. I HAVE BEEN TO MULTIPLE DIFFERENT FILLING STATIONS AND GET THE SAME RESULT EVERY TIME. GASOLINE ALWAYS RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR AS THE TANK REACHES FUEL CAPACITY. GASOLINE SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, ON TO THE GROUND, AND EVEN GETS ON MY HANDS, CLOTHES, AND SHOES. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH AN ISSUE WITH SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS FUELING A VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 2 MONTHS. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM CARMAX. I PLAN ON CONTACTING THEM REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL AS MY JEEP. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT THAT WARRANTS A TOTAL RECALL ON ALL 2008 JEEP LIBERTY MODELS. I DON'T LIKE HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT INGESTING GASOLINE WHEN I EAT BECAUSE MY HANDS WERE COVERED IN GASOLINE. I DON'T LIKE BREATHING THE NOXIOUS FUMES WHILE I'M INSIDE MY CAR BECAUSE FUEL FROM A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK HAS SPILLED ON TO MY CLOTHES AND SHOES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PANORAMA SUNROOF FELL DOWN WHILE DRIVING.

THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A BROKEN WRIST AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOWING YARD. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2009 AS THE SECOND OWNER WITH 18,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS AND SPRAYS GAS ALL OVER THE PLACE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE STATION BUT AFTER USING MULTIPLE STATIONS I NOW HAVE TO ESTIMATE HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN THE TANK AND THEN TRY AND FILL IT UP. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.
