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.
For the past two months everytime I fill my fuel tank it overflows dramatically. While filling the tank I always follow the prescribed safety measures - I do not put anything under the handle that mechanically holds the nozzle open, I do not try to fill the tank to the very brim and I place the nozzle bellows directly on the fill tube. Despite this the tank consistently overflows down the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. Most of the time the instant the nozzle bellows is separated from the fill tube (after the nozzle clicks signaling the tank is at the safe fill point) the gas "burps" out a distance of up to a foot which initially landed on me. This is obviously a safety concern to the individual pumping gas as well as an environmental concern. The Jeep service representative informed me that a new gas tank is required to replace the fill tube check valve which he informed me is an integral part of the tank. I researched on the internet to see if this is a common problem and I found that for several years people have been experiencing the same problem. Some people even put a video of this happening on youtube.
The contact owns a 2010 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel spewed out of the filler neck. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 46,000.
When filling up with gas and tank is fuel the nozzle stops and then gas bubbles out the fuel tank and down the side of the vehicle. I even try going slow but as soon and it gets full some fuel comes out. I took this to don miller Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram service center in madison, wi and they informed that the rollover valve is not working and I would need the whole fuel tank replaced. I know from research online that this is a safety issue due to the fact that in the chance of a rollover this keeps fuels from spilling out of the gas tank that may cause a fire. I have also seen other recalls for other Chrysler makes and models including other Jeep models for this same issue and wonder if the Jeep Liberty's should be included as well. Thank you
Refueling the vehicle causes gasoline to overflow from the filler tube and run down the side of the car onto the ground. Approx10-12 oz. Of fuel will spill out every time the vehicle is filled up at any gas station. There appears to be a venting issue with Jeep gas tanks. A quick google search returns many results of this issue, most commonly known as 'gas tank burping'. it affects different Jeep models. Here is a youtube video of the problem: www.youtube.com/watch?V=6feamuauko8 I would consider this to be a design flaw and a potential fire hazard. Chrysler dealership are unwilling to help me because I am out of the 36,000 mile warranty period.
Was putting gas into Jeep as I have always done, and this time after the pump shut off, gas came puking out of the tank down the side of the Jeep. This is the first time this has happened to me, but looking on the internet this is a very common problem. You would think Jeep would recall this!!!!
