Liberty

  • 50,000 miles
The gas tank shoots a large quantity of fuel out each time when refueling, which covers the rear quarter panel of the vehicle in gasoline as well as the person pumping. This occurs consistently, each time the vehicle is filled regardless of factors such as pump speed, temperature, depth or position of the nozzle. It is very difficult to time fueling so that the tank is not full so this does not occur. This is a safety hard due to the inability of the gas tank to hold the gasoline, which would be dangerous in the event of even a minor accident. It is also hazardous for the vehicle and individual to be covered in a highly flammable substance such as gasoline in the event of an accident. Many other drivers of this model also say this happens continually, that it is a consistent defect among others across these models and Chrysler dealerships refuse to fix the issue.

Liberty 4-cyl Diesel

  • 52,515 miles
This problem pertains to the 2006 Jeep Liberty crd 2.8L diesel. Under acceleration from 55 mph to 65 mph, the vehicle stalled and would not go over 3,000 RPM. When the vehicle slowed to 45 mph, it would not increase speed, effectively in a "limp-in mode". after the vehicle stopped, the engine was shut off for about 2 minutes then restarted. The vehicle traveled for approximately 5-7 miles with no problems then the incident happened again. The vehicle was towed to the Jeep dealer where it was purchased and after two weeks the dealer basically gave up trying to fix the car. The issue has not been fixed and as I scan the internet I find this is a common yet dangerous problem with this vehicle.
