This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I have a 2006 Jeep Liberty limited with approximately 88,000 miles on it. Recently I started to experience a problem where the fuel pump nozzle does not shut itself off automatically when my fuel tank is full. The first time it happened I thought this was an issue with the fuel pump at the station, but it has happened at multiple stations and every time I pump fuel. I've just been trying to pay close attention and stop the fuel flow before my tank gets full. This overflowing fuel is going to damage the paint on my vehicle and is a fire hazard at the gas station, not to mention the fact that the fuel has spewed onto my shoes and clothing on more than one occasion. The problem seems to be progressing now, as yesterday when I went to get fuel, the nozzle spewed immediately upon beginning to pump (and the tank was nearly empty as my fuel level indicator had just gone off). The only way I could get fuel into my tank was to manually control the flow with the nozzle so that it went into the tank very slowly. I have contacted my Jeep dealership and have a service appointment later this week. I've read about a lot of others with this issue, and it sounds like they will need to replace my fuel tank.
