The vehicle was taken to the dealer (al serra Jeep, Chrysler in grand blanc, Michigan) who stated that the recall repairs could not be performed due to excessive corrosion of the frame.

When filling car with gas on leveled surfaces. The car will burp fuel out the filling neck spilling out on the road and grass. Spoke to a local Dodge and they said they had no fix for it but it is an issue.
Gasoline will always blow out of the filler when fueling. At least 1/4 cup and sometimes a full cup of gasoline will be expelled at each refueling. Gasoline will be sprayed on hands, pants, shoes, side of car and on the ground. This problem has happened over the past year.
When filling the tank with fuel, the pump does not shut off, and the fuel filler tube belches fuel onto the side of the truck and the ground. This causes a fire safety issue, the fuel damages paint and plastics on the vehicle, it is wasteful, and is hazardous to the environment.

I recently purchased a 2006 Jeep Liberty 2006. Every time I put fuel in it, it overflows. It is not automatically shutting.off therefore spilling over and getting all over the car or me. This is very dangerous. I tried filling up at a few different gas stations and it is the samerthng. On the internet it is showing many people have concerns about this why isn't there a recall? I am afraid someone will throw a cigarette out their window and I will blow up. I wipe it.up each time.
When filling the gas tank, there is almost always overflow that spills out of the nozzle onto the side of the vehicle and onto the pavement. I would estimate this happens about 80% of the time I fill up.

I have owned my 2006 Jeep Liberty for 6 years, and not one time have I completely filled my fuel tank that it didn't gush fuel out everywhere, including on me !
Every time I fill the gas tank (parked with engine turned off), gas spews from the filler tube, runs down the side of the car, pools on the ground and underneath the car, creating an extremely dangerous situation. Gas continues to spew out and all over the area until I desperately grab the gas pump nozzle handle and manually disengage it! I now never can depend upon auto shut-off!! I have to manually operate the pump nozzle, not take my hand off it, listen to the gushing tone sound as the tank nears the full point and shut off the nozzle by hand when I hear the gas getting ready to spew all over the place!! this is so dangerous!!!!! over the course of several years, I thought this problem was just unique to my car but after talking with two other Jeep Liberty owner acquaintances, I discovered they had the same dangerous safety problem with their Jeep Liberty, as well. This is so dangerous.... it needs to be recalled and fixed!!! ("when did this happen field below: July 2009 to present")
2006 Jeep Liberty: Fuel splashes back when filling gas tank at a gas station. This happens every time I fuel the tank. Faulty fuel inlet check valve. Other Chrysler vehicles have this problem and have been recalled for repair. I spoke with a representative from Chrysler, and they stated that Chrysler has no plans of issuing a recall for this make, model, and year vehicle.
When filling up the gas tank, the automatic shut off does not function, resulting in gas pouring out of the tank. This has happened consistently, no matter where or when I fill up.
Every time I start to fill my tank it overflows. I lose approx. 1/2 gallon on the ground every time I put fuel in. This is ridiculous! I just bought this Jeep a few weeks ago. The previous owner/ dealership did not make us aware of this problem.
