FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN I FILL THE CAR WITH GAS, GAS SPURTS OUT OF THE PUMP AFTER IT SHUTS OFF. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT APPEARS THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS REFUSED TO DO A RECALL FOR THE FIX. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK AT A COST OF OVER $1,200

SUSPENSION
THE CAR DID NOT FEEL RIGHT WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME ONE EVENING AND THE WHOLE BACK END JUMPED TO THE RIGHT WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR TRAFFIC PASSED MY CAR. I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND AS I TURNED A CORNER THE WHOLE BACK END JUST SLID AND THE VEHICLE WAS HARD TO KEEP CONTROL OF. I HAD TO DRIVE 10 MPH ON CITY STREETS TO GET HOME AND THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, IT WANTED TO KEEP SLIDING TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. I FOUND, ON GETTING HOME, THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM HAD ROTTED OUT AND FAILED. IT LOOKED AS THOUGH IT HAD BEEN IN SALT WATER FOR 25 YEARS. IF I HAD BEEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN IT FAILED THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND VERY LIKELY A FATAL ACCIDENT TO ME. I HAVE SEEN 20 YEAR OLD CARS THAT DO NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF ROT ON CRITICAL PARTS LIKE THIS AND FEEL THERE IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD OF HAPPENED ON A 7 YEAR OLD CAR. I HAVE SPOKEN TO CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL NOT HELP ME ON THE REPAIR AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THE REAL CONCERN IS TO THE PRE-MATURE FAILURE OF THIS CRITICAL PART. I HAVE KEPT THE PART THEY REMOVED IF ANYONE WOULD CARE TO INSPECT IT. I HOPE THIS MAY HELP OTHER OWNERS INSPECT THIS PART AND PREVENT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HOPE SOMEONE FROM THE NHTSA CONTACTS ME SO I CAN FURTHER EXPRESS MY CONCERNS. UPDATED 05/12/11 *BF UPDATED 1/5/12 *CN

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2002 JEEP LIBERTY AT AN ESTIMATED 45-50 MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED AND THEN SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE ROARED AS IF ACCELERATING AND RPMS FLUCTUATED FROM HIGH TO LOW WITHOUT INCREASING ACTUAL VEHICLE SPEED AND LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND COASTED UNTIL CAR STOPPED. THE DASHBOARD LIT UP FOR BATTERY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND OIL AND ALL OTHER POWER STAYED ON, INCLUDING RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS AND EMERGENCY LIGHTS. WHEN CAR CAME TO A STOP, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT. DASHBOARD INDICATORS TURNED OFF AND CAR STARTED NORMALLY TO ONLY REPEAT THE SAME ENGINE STALL LESS THAN A MILE AWAY AT A SLOWER SPEED. CAR THEN REQUIRED SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTS TO START ENGINE. AT THIS TIME, THE CAR HAD A 1/2 TANK OF GAS. THE NEXT DAY I CHANGED ALL FLUIDS INCLUDING OIL, ANTIFREEZE, COOLANT AND ADDED A FUEL INJECTION CLEANER AND FILLED CAR TO A FULL TANK AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BACK HOME WITHOUT ISSUE. NEXT TIME CAR WAS USED SAME ENGINE STALL HAPPENED AS CAR WAS IN REVERSE AND WITHOUT THE RPM FLUCTUATION OR DASHBOARD INDICATORS LIGHTING UP. NEW BATTERY INSTALLED AND HOOKED UP TO COMPUTER FOR DATA CODES WHICH REVEALED NO ERROR CODES. CAR CURRENTLY IN SHOP FOR 7 DAYS WITH OVER $500 IN COSTS THAT DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. CAR MAINTENANCE IN GREAT SHAPE AT 103700 MILES AND FULL CAR TUNEUP DONE JUST LAST YEAR BY JEEP DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE MECHANIC OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT PROBLEMS IT COULD BE OR NOT BE, AND INVEST MONEY IN REPAIRS THAT MAY NOT EVEN SOLVE THE PROBLEM. TOTAL ENGINES FAILURES/STALLS IN ONE WEEK AVERAGED 2 TIMES EACH TIME THE CAR WAS DRIVEN. GIVEN THE TRAFFIC AND TRAVELING SPEED OF THE CAR, I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE AVOIDED COLLISION BUT DO NOT FEEL SAFE OR TRUST TO USE MY CAR ESPECIALLY AFTER READING COMPLAINTS OF OTHERS EXPERIENCING SAME ENGINE FAILURE WITHOUT A SOLUTION PROVIDED THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. *TR

EVERY TIME THE GAS TANK IS BEING FILLED THERE IS AN ERUPTION OF FUEL THAT COMES OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILL WHEN THE GAS PUMP HANDLE SHUTS OFF. EVEN WHEN MANUALLY HOLDING THE GAS PUMP HANDLE DISPENSING GAS AT A VERY SLOW RATE, THE GAS TANK FILL STILL POURS OUT GAS WHEN IT REACHES THE FULL POINT AND SHUTS OFF THE PUMP.
