When you go to fill the gas tank, it overflows constantly, you cannot just stick the nozzle in and let it fill normally, you have to let it go very slowly and even then it will try to overflow. I believe this is a safety hazard. I always have gas spilled out on the pavement and on me most of the time. After researching and reading online forums, I have noticed this is a common problem and that there is a lot of frustration in trying to get someone to listen to our complaints and actually having a solution to this problem. I have also written to Chrysler and haven't had any response. Took it Jeep to the dealership from which we purchased it, they said it wasn't under warranty and said to research online to fix the problem. Had I known of this problem when we purchased the car, I would not have purchased it.

Liberty 6-cyl

  • 35,000 miles
A year ago, my fuel tank started to intermittently overflow a huge puddle of gas at the filling station when I filled up. Now it happens every time I fuel up. I took to the dealer Saturday and they said its a common problem among Cherokee, but not Liberty and there is no recall for either vehicle. The problem is a valve clog in the fuel tank. The fix is an $1800 new fuel tank. That's not going to happen! this seems to be a dangerous problem given all the fires at gas stations recently. Every time I fill up I leave a large puddle of gas on the ground, all over my car and have to ride with the windows rolled down for first half hour after filling. Only affordable fix is to not fill, but that's next to impossible to gauge. Seems like you should look into this Jeep-wide (and I think Chrysler-wide) problem.

Liberty 6-cyl

  • 130,000 miles
According to NHTSA, this vehicle is subject to a voluntary recall (N46/NHTSA 13V-252) that was to commence in July 2013. I received a letter confirming this from the manufacturer over two months ago that said I would be notified when the part to correct the problem was available. I have contacted Chrysler twice and no one can say when the part will be available. Since the part to correct the problem was a factory and/or dealer installed option when this car was built, and since there are many manufacturers with similar parts, I can only conclude that the unreasonable delay appears to be intentional. The longer Chrysler waits, the fewer Jeep will need to be repaired. Of course, each day without repair presents a safety risk that also decreases the value of my vehicle.
