Liberty 6-cyl

  • 26,000 miles
Every time I fill up I get a backwash of gas I tried different gas stations with the same results I googled this issue and found out this has happened to 1000's of other Jeep owners when I called my Jeep dealer they want to charge me 100's of dollars to fix the issue which I think should be a recall. Can you please help me with this issue.

problem #5

May 122014

Liberty 4WD 6-cyl

  • 66,839 miles
Vehicle purchased new in April 2011. 3 years later in May 2014, the vehicle began spewing fuel out when refueling the vehicle at any and all gas stations. A significant amount of fuel runs down the side of the vehicle, onto the ground and onto pants and shoes if you are standing close to the vehicle. The gas fumes get inside the vehicle when you open the vehicle door. This poses a hazard to the person pumping the gas, to occupants inside the vehicle and to by standers. This is a well documented problem on the internet for Jeep SUV's. I have replaced the esmi housing 2 times, and this does not solve the problem. I am now told I will need to replace my entire gas tank because the rollover antispill valve inside the tank is defective. I found a recall called M11 which fixes only 2012 Jeep compass and 2012 Jeep patriot vehicles that have the same problem. I have called Jeep and they stated the problem has been resolved and they will not help me.
