2010 Jeep Liberty Fuel System Problems

ROLLOVER PROTECTION VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK HAS FAILED AND GAS POURS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL. AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, FUEL POURS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ONTO THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS BEING REPAIRED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS BUT NOT THE 2010 MODEL YEAR, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ISSUE.

SO THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN I HAVE CAME ACROSS, THIS IS OUTRAGED THE COMPANY HASN'T HAD ANY SORT OF RECALL ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS OF THIS GAS TANK. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS GAS TANK, OVERFLOW FORUMS, AND NUMEROUS YOUTUBE VIDEO OF "GAS BURP" IS THE NICKNAME, WHERE WHEN PUMPING GAS. THE CUSTOM LIKE MYSELF MAY BE INCLIND TO LIKE ANY CAR, ONCE THE GAS UNLEADED IS SELECTED, AND GAS CAP OUT, AND INSERTED INTO IT NORMAL SLOT. IT FILLS NORMALLY, AS THE GAS TANK FILLS NO SOUND IS HEARD, AND LASTLY ONCE THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF INSERTING THE GAS. IT SHOULD BE DONE, NOT WITH MY TANK MY TANK AT ANY GAS STATION, AT ANY LOCATION, ANY BRAND, OF CIRCLE K, BP, MOBILE, SHELL, QT? THEY ALL OVERFLOW MY CAR!. THIS SPILL ISN'T A LIGHT SPILL, THIS I'D A MAJOR QUARTER OF A GAS TANK STILL EVERY TIME. ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND THE GROUND AND JEEP AND DEALERSHIP RESPONSE, IS YOU HAVE TO PAY 3K TO REPLACE THE WHOLE GAS TANK. WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS FOR A SAFETY ISSUE OF DUMPING GAS ALL OVER THE GROUND. THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS ON 2007 MODELS, OF JEEPS AND DODGE DURANGO. BUT MY CAR IN SPECIFIC LIKE MANY OTHERS IN THE 2005-2012 RANGE ARE EXPERIENCING IS. A DODGE FLAW OF THE GAS TANK, IT IS THE PLUNGER SYSTEM TO PREVENT BACKFLOW. WELL THE RUBBER STOPPER ERODES TO ETHANOL WHICH IS IN GASOLINE. BUT I AM HERE TO ADD MY CONCERN IF THE ISSUE AT HAND. I WORK FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND TO HAVE CARS SPILLING FUEL OUT OF THE NORMAL CONSUMER USE ANY TIME OF THE YEAR, ANY TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE, AND STATIONS, AND ALSO ANY PUMP NOZZLE WILL DO THE REPEATED ISSUE. I HAVE EVIDENCE OF THIS BUT EVEN YOURSELF CAN GOOGLE GAS BURP CHRYSLER TYPE OF VEHICLES AND IT IS VERY COMMON ISSUE ACROSS FORUMS AND MORE. BEST PART IS, THE WEAR ON THE RUBBER RING IS PAST WARRANTY SO IT OUT OF POCKET CUSTOMERS WHO WIL MOST LIKELY JUST PREFER TO SPILL GAS INSTEAD OF COUGHING UP THE MONEY TO REPLACE A WHOLE GAS FUEL TANK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO FUEL THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED FUEL LEAKING OUT UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT NOT FAILURES WERE FOUND. THE CONTACT FOUND A FAULTY CHECK VALVE AND PAID FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL DID NOT INCLUDE HIS VEHICLE ONLY THE 2007-2008 MODELS. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE MECHANIC FOR THE SAME FAILURE A WEEK LATER AND WAS ADVISED THAT A NEW FUEL TANK WAS NEEDED. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF A DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 156,000.

IT WILL BURP GAS BACK OF THE FILLER NOZZLE. TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. TRIED DIFFERENT TYPES OF PUMPS. ON AUTOMATIC FILL-UP IT WILL CUT OFF, THEN A BIG BURP OF GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER NOZZLE. HAPPENS MOSTLY IN THE COOL WEATHER, RANDOMLY IN HIGH TEMPS (80F+). DEALER INSPECTED SAID THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM... TOLD ME THE ONLY OPTION WOULD BE A FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT FOR AROUND 1500 DOLLARS. IT IS THE SAME SYMPTOM THE RECALL/WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 2008 JEEP LIBERTY'S COVERED IN THE X46 LIFETIME WARRANTY EXTENSION; HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT COVER ANY OTHER MODEL YEARS AND THIS IS HAPPENING IN OTHER MODEL YEARS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER.

CHECK VALVE FOR GAS OVERFLOW DOES NOT WORK. EVERY FILL UP GAS WILL SPILL OUT AND ONTO PANTS LEGS AND GROUND.

FUEL BLOWS BACK EXPLOSIVELY WHILE FILLING TANK. DEALER REPORTS CHECK VALVE IN INSIDE THE GAS TANK NOT ON THE FILLER NECK AND THAT REPLACING FUEL TANK IN ONLY WAY TO FIX. COST ESTIMATE $1370, PLUS $146.50 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM FOR A TOTAL OF $1,517.31. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH JEEP IS WELL AWARE AND WIDELY DISCUSSED ON VARIOUS FORUMS. JEEP HAS RECALLED OTHER MODELS, BUT NOT THIS SPECIFIC MODEL AND YEAR. SERIOUS BODILY HARM AND DEATH IS A POTENTIAL WITH THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. JEEP REFUSES TO ASSIST ON ANY COST OR REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE. FUEL TANKS ARE MADE TO LAST THE LIFE OF A CAR, THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH SHOULD BE DEALT WITH. CAR IS SINGLE OWNER, WAS BOUGHT NEW IN AUGUST 2010, NO OTHER PROBLEMS. CASE #28823444 AT JEEP. CALLED 3 TIMES, WAS OFFERED ZERO ASSISTANCE TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT FILLED THE FUEL TANK NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT THE FUEL SPEWED OUT WITH FORCE EACH TIME. THE CONTACT HAD TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE AREA OF THE FUEL TANK EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT OBSERVED STRONG FUEL FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT COMPLAINED ABOUT THE FUMES AFFECTING HER BREATHING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. A SECOND DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL FILLER TUBE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

FILLING UP MY CAR WITH GAS AND IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS. IT DOESN'T STOP WHEN ITS FULL. ITS BEEN HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. *TR

I WAS FILLING UP MY VEHICLE WITH GAS AND IT OVERFLOWED AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THAT EVERY TIME I FILL UP. ITS A FIRE HAZARD AND A WASTE OF GAS. *TR

ABOUT A QUART OF GAS WILL "BURP" OUT DIRECTLY AFTER THE PUMP HAS KICKED OFF, SPILLING OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE PERSON PUMPING GAS. THE ODD THING IS THAT IT ACTUALLY SHOOTS OUT UNDER SOME PRESSURE. THE PROBLEM IS NOT CAUSED BY OVER-FILLING. AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THE SPILLAGE IS A MAJOR ISSUE BY ITSELF, BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. WILL THIS PROBLEM CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD DURING AN ACCIDENT? IF I REPLACE THE GAS TANK NOW, WILL I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER THE NEXT 45,000 MILES. REPLACING THE TANK IS EXTREME AS A REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEM. *TR

TANK SPILLS GAS ON EVERY FILL-UP. NO MADDER HOW SLOW YOU FILL IT. BUT SLOWER FILLING SPILL LESS GAS THEN FAST FILLING. ALWAYS HAVE TO WIPE UP EXCESS GAS THAT SPILLS DOWN FENDER. THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE EVERY TIME YOU FILL UP. *TR

I WAS FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS. INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL APPROXIMATELY A QUART OF GAS SPLASHED UP ON ME AND ALL OVER THE REAR FENDER OF THE CAR. I AM PRETTY UPSET BECAUSE A JEEP DEALERSHIP IN ANDERSON, IN SAID THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. WE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH AN OLDER LIBERTY, AND WE WERE GIVEN A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR THE REPAIR. I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THAT WARRANTY. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, SINCE IT HASN'T HAPPENED TO ME WITH THE PRIOR VEHICLES THAT I'VE OWNED, AND I WONDER IF JEEP HAS CORRECTED A PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF, OR IF THEY ARE JUST KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD. *TR

AFTER GASSING UP REMOVED HOSE AND FUEL SHOT OUT OF FILLER PIPE,OVER THE SIDE OF VEHICLE AND UNTO THE GROUND. AT NEXT FUEL STOP SAME THING HAPPENED,DIFFERENT SERVICE STATION. DEALER STATES IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I CONTACTED JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THERE ARE NO KNOWN ISSUES WITH MY YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE. FIX INVOLVES VALVE ON FUEL TANK WITH NEW TANK. *TR

AS WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS, FUEL SPILLS OUT AFTER REFUELING, SPLASHING ONTO CAR, GROUND, AND PERSON FUELING. DEALER REPLACED ESIM DETECTOR. THAT WORKED FOR 2 FILL UPS, AT 3RD FILL UP THE GUSHING STARTED AGAIN. DEALER SAID FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

GAS OVERFLOWS FROM FILLER TUBE WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS. *TR

WAS PUTTING AFTER THE PUMP SHUT OFF, GAS CAME POURING OUT OF THE TANK DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. THIS IS THE MAYBE THE SIXTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME, BUT LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. YOU WOULD THINK JEEP WOULD RECALL. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS ONTO THE SIDE OF THE CAR, ONTO THE GROUND AND SOMETIMES, IF YOU FORGET AND DON'T STAND BACK FAR ENOUGH, IS WILL SPLASH ONTO WHO EVER IS FILLING THE TANK. THIS STARTED IN THE FALL OF 2013 AND CONTINUED OFF AND ON UNTIL THE WINTER OF 2014 WHEN IT BECAME AN EVERY FILL UP ISSUE. WE DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OLDER MODELS OF JEEP LIBERTY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, AND HAD BEEN RECALLED TO HAVE THE TANKS REPLACED. WHEN WE CONTACTED JEEP THEY TOLD US THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP WITH THE COST OF REPLACING THE TANK. I HAD SOME OTHER WORK DONE THIS LAST WEEK ON MY LIBERTY AND FOUND OUT THAT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $710.00 FOR THE TANK AND $365.00 FOR THE LABOR. AGAIN WE CONTACTED JEEP, AND AGAIN WERE TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP WITH THE REPAIR. I DON'T THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO SPEND OVER $1000.00 TO CORRECT AN ISSUE THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF AND SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT ONLY WHEN FUELING, BUT IF YOU SPILL GAS ALL OVER THE GROUND AT THE GAS STATION, THERE COULD BE A FIRE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I HOPE NOT.

EVERY TIME GAS IS PUT INTO THE TANK , THE GAS WILL BE FORCIBLY BLOWN BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND BACK ONTO THE PERSON HOLDING THE GAS NOZZLE!! DOZENS OF CASES ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE THE SAME OCCURRENCE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS HAZARD THAT THE PUBLIC AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF. THANK YOU *TR

GAS POURS OUT OF TANK AFTER AUTO SHUT-OFF. EVERY PLACE. EVERY TIME,SO IT IS NOT THE GAS PUMP'S PROBLEM. AFTER READING ALL THESE REVIEWS, THERE IS A DEFINITE PROBLEM HERE. *JS

WHILE REFUELING, THE TANK WILL OVERFLOW AND BUBBLE OVER ONTO MY PAINT AND THE GROUND EVERY TIME I FILL UP. IT'S ROUGHLY A CUP OF FUEL EACH TIME. THIS IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM FOR ME AND SAFETY HAZARD. I'M PRETTY SURE OVERFLOWING GASOLINE ISN'T GOOD, AND IT IS DAMAGING TO THE PRODUCT (PAINT) AS WELL; THIS ISSUE IS A GROWING THEME WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES NEED A SERVICE BULLETIN POSTED FOR A SOLUTION. *TR
