Cannot add fuel to tank without it kicking fuel nozzle off, I have to add fuel slower then the fuel nozzle will do on it's on, takes for ever to add any amount of fuel, problem started out by splashing fuel on to me and the vehicle before it would complete filling tank.

Every time a fill gas the car overfills and lots of gas spills out. This is happening at all different gas stations and I have seen others online with the same problem, my car has only 65K miles. This is for sure a safety issue that must be recalled, it is a huge fire hazard.

When filling up with gas the gas will always spew back out when full. Spills gas all over the side of the Jeep and a good amount on the ground.

After fueling and starting the vehicle, it fails to accelerate for several minutes. Also when fueling it doesn't stop and will overflow onto the ground if you don't keep track of how much gas you are putting in. Another issue is that the vehicle shakes very badly when idle.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. While at a stop sign and making a right turn, the vehicle made a loud grinding noise and stalled. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact moved the shifter into park and noticed that the ball joint and an unknown tire became detached without an impact occurring. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 13V252000 (fuel system, gasoline, structure) and 18V278000 (suspension). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

When filling the gas tank, the pump fails to automatically shut off due to a faulty fuel filler neck. The entire gas tank must be replaced because the valve is part of the tank and cannot be replaced separately. The fuel spillage hazard creates risk of explosion at the gas station.

When filling tank gas does not stop automatically, there is a lot of gas that overflows down side of car onto the ground. Doesn't matter speed of filling the tank it will overflow unless manual stop of filling prior to gas tank being full and will sometimes still overflow. The vehicle is off and parked at the pump, doesn't matter what gas station is used the issue happens. This happens every time filling up with the last time on 5/12.
