The contact owns a 2011 Jeep Liberty. While the contact was fueling the vehicle, the fuel tank stopped midway into filling up. As a result, the fuel spilled onto the ground. The fuel nozzle shut off repeatedly, which the contact felt was a safety issue. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The dealer was not notified. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

During filling up with gas, with the vehicle parked on level ground with engine off, the fueling nozzle will click off when the tank is full. However, approximately 1 second after the nozzle clicks off, a significant amount of fuel surges back out onto the side of the vehicle, the operator, and the ground. Estimate about 1-2 cups of fuel. This happens regardless of whether fueling fast or slow. ! aside from damaging the paint and finish on the vehicle, fuel splashing onto the operator creates a very hazardous situation!

When the hell is Chrysler going to take the fuel overflow/spillage issue seriously! rather than just charging their customers $1200 more to replace tank, replace the check valve in the tanks! jeezus!!!! https://youtu.be/V4dxhsachb4 it affects so many freaking people. Get your heads out of your butts and do something about it instead of sticking your heads in the sand and not giving a crap how many people are getting covered in gasoline for eff's sake! C'mon people...chime in. These A-holes aren't going to do anything until we friggin' rise-up, or people start catching on fire...for the love of god!

When filling up the gas tank, the pump will stop when the tank is full. Then however, the tank burps up fuel all over the place, at least a couple cups worth. This makes it impossible to fill up the tank all the way, and if I do then gasoline gets spilled all over the place: The ground, the car body, and all over the tire. Not safe.

When getting gas at the station, gas would come back out of the tank, spilling all over the car.

When filling the gas tank at gas station gas spews out of the gas tank, down the side of the car and onto the pavement when gas nozzle clicks indicating tank is full. Some gas splashes on clothes.

I owned my 2011 Jeep Liberty since November 2010. When filling the tank with gas, as it nears full, the gasoline expels out of the tank. This happens nine out of 10 times that I fill the tank, and has happened as long as I've owned the vehicle.

Jeep will not start after it runs for a while. If it sits for 15 minutes, it won't start. It cranks over but does not start. If I wait another 15 minutes or so, then it will start. Also having problems filling gas tank. It will spill gas out at you or keep shutting gas nozzle off when filling at gas station. This isn't a one time problem. It happens all the time. Gas station attendant gets very frustrated trying to fill tank.

Fuel overflows and does not shut off properly. Gas splashed all over me.
- Stevensville, MI, USA
After filling my gas tank and grocery shopping, I came out to my car and it wouldn't start, I then had it towed to my local Jeep dealership, they diagnosed it as a faulty tipm sensor, after researching online, turns out I am one of hundreds of thousands dealing with the same issue, Chrysler should have to be held responsible for knowingly continuing to install faulty sensors and then not assisting with repairs. Outrageous!!! what is the point of investing in an american brand when they are not held accountable?? losing all my faith...

Every time I am refueling my Jeep Liberty the stop flow for the gas tank does not engage and causes fuel to leak to overflow onto my vehicle, the ground and on me. It creates a large puddle of gasoline and is very dangerous.
- Mesa, AZ, USA

The gas spilled back while fueling.
- Stoughton, MA, USA
There is an issue with gasoline overflowing from the tank of our 2011 Liberty after the gas pump has shut off. This happens after the initial shut off as we are not topping off the tank. About 1 second after the pump stops automatically gasoline will spray out of the filler neck and all over the ground. This has happened at different filling stations; so it does not seem like a pump issue. It only happens after the pump has stopped. It does not happen while the gas pump is running.
- Milford, MA, USA
Every time I fill my car up, unless I fill it very slowly and listen carefully, gas will gush out as the tank gets full, even after I have stopped pumping. It gets everywhere and makes a mess. This seems very dangerous.
- Waynesville, NC, USA
Fuel sprays from filler neck while filling up. This has happened at multiple different gas stations. Its to the point I don't fill up any more I just put in $30 from empty. The pump does stop once this happens.
