All in all, the 2012 Liberty actually excels off-road, but since 99% of drivers never take this thing off pavement, that becomes somewhat of a moot point. The Liberty suffers from the worst fuel economy in its class (16/22 MPG) and offers an uncomfortable ride with suspect braking ability.

Fuel was spilling out underneath vehicle every time I filled up. The issue was that the plastic housing where the fuel filler tube connects to the gas tank hardened and deteriorated to a point where it begins to leak. That plastic appears not to be ethanol resistant. Indications a leak will or is occurring: P0456 code or fuel dripping down under vehicle or smell of fuel.
Gasoline is leaking out when filling up. This is a know issue with previous year models. The problem is so serious that Jeep is have a problem manufacturing the part to fix it. There should be a recall.
The vehicles doors lock and unlock while the car is in motion. The lights have gone out while moving down the road. The wipers will intermittently go on and off. The lights on the dash and radio will dim while driving. The car shifts multiple times while moving.
The evap container isnt the right part and obviously was actually for a Jeep Wrangler and has an extra inlet. After numerous attempts to contact Jeep for the last 4 months and still nothing this vehicle will stall while driving and it drives alot of interstate travel which is a huge safety risk and still have gotten nowhere all I want is for Jeep to make this right and fix the manufacturer mess up.
I was driving 35 mph straight on a city road when the orange engine light came on. I went to nearest auto store and had it scanned and it came out with code P0441. Incorrect purge flow.

After going thru a car wash, I was touching up the back of the vehicle when I noticed the exhaust pipe was rusted. I called the dealership on mon, stated my finding and reminded the service rep that I had purchased the vehicle brand new ~6 months ago (therefore was under warranty) I set up to drop it off on wed @12pm. ~ 30 minutes, after I was shuttled to work, the service mgr called and told me the rust was normal and only "surface rust". however, is going to replace it to keep the customer service up. I suggested some sort of coating to prevent another premature rusting, being many other occurrences have been reported but was told that can't be done. I hope tom when I am picked up to retrieve my Jeep that I won't be disappointed!
