FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS JEEP LIBERTY FIRST OF ALL AND I LOVE IT, BUT IT IS DANGEROUS! I CAN'T FILL THE GAS TANK ON MY JEEP LIBERTY WITH OUT IT SPEWING BACK OUT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED GAS WAS ALL ON THE GROUND AT THE GAS STATION. IT GOT ALL OVER MY HANDS AND PAINTS LEG AND BURNED MY SKIN. I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND DIDN'T HAVE AN EXTRA PAIR OF PANTS TO CHANGE INTO. ALL I COULD DO IS PULL OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT AND TRY TO CLEAN MY SKIN IN THE RESTROOM. NOW I HAVE TO HOLD MY EAR DOWN TO THE GAS NOZZLE TO HEAR THE TANK FILLING UP. MY HUSBAND CAN'T HEAR WELL SO I CAN'T LET HIM FUEL THE LIBERTY. OUT OF FEAR OF GAS GETTING ON OTHERS AND ON THE GROUND, I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT FUELS THE TANK. CHRYSLER WILL NOT REPLACE THE GAS TANK BECAUSE IT SHOWS NO PROBLEM UNDER MY VIN NUMBER. THIS IS A PUBLIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY PROBLEM WITH GASOLINE ON PEOPLE AND ALL OVER THE GROUND! I NEED THIS TANK REPLACED, JUST THUNK ABOUT IT....1/2 GALLON OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND FOR EVERY OTHER JEEP LIBERTY LIKE MINE OUT THERE. I TALKED WITH JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN TODAY AND WAS STILL DENIED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SUNROOF DRAINS INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AND ON TO THE FUSE PANEL AND FREEZES. I HAVE TO REPLACE AT $822.00.

ENGINE
3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE SAW MILL PARKWAY THIS MORNING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL. THE BRAKES COULD NOT CONTROL IT. THE FIRST TIME I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE REVERTED TO IDLE SPEED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE NORMALLY. A FEW MILES LATER IT DID IT AGAIN AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS TIME WHEN I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL THE ENGINE RACED AT FULL SPEED AS IF IT WAS BEING FLOORED. I HAD TO TURN OFF THE KEY. WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE IT RAN FINE FOR A FEW MILES UNTIL I WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY. AGAIN WHEN I SLOWED TO A STOP THE ENGINE RACED AT FULL REVS. GOING INTO NEUTRAL DID NOT HELP. TURNING OFF THE KEY FIXED IT. AT THE END OF THE DAY AFTER WORK THE VEHICLE BEHAVED NORMALLY. THIS JEEP HAS DONE THIS 3 TIMES IN THE PAST, IN JANUARY 2009, FEB 2012 AND OCTOBER 2014. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATOR ACTIVATED, AND AT THE SAME TIME MY HORN STOPPED WORKING! AFTER HAVING IT CHECKED OUT BY A REPAIR SHOP, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MALFUNCTION OF AIR BAGS IN OTHER 2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S; HOWEVER, RECALLS OF THIS PROBLEM APPLY TO OTHER VIN NUMBERS (BEGINNING WITH THE LETTER K). I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT THE COST OF REPAIRS WILL EXCEED $400.00, AND THAT MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY'S ARE THAT MUCH DIFFERENT AMONGST THE DIFFERENT VIN NUMBERS? I AM HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS, AND IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IN ADDITION TO HAVING NO HORN THAT MY AIR BAGS WOULD NOT EMPLOY IN THE EVENT THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED IN A VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER VIN NUMBER TO BE CHECKED OUT ON THE CURRENT LISTING? *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, THE FUEL WILL SPIT BACK OUT. THIS HAPPENS AT THE BEGINNING, MIDDLE, OR END OF WHEN I'M FUELING UP. IT'S MORE LIKE A GEYSER OF FUEL SPILLING BACK AT ME THAT GETS ALL OVER ME, THE CAR, AND MOST DANGEROUSLY, ALL OVER THE GROUND OF THE GAS STATION. IT HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY TIME I FILL UP. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I AM AT, OR HOW I'M POSITIONING THE HOSE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR, BUT HAS GOTTEN INCREASINGLY WORSE RECENTLY. VERY DANGEROUS, FRIGHTENING, AND BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN PUSHED TO SPEED UP AT A FAST RATE AND UPON APPROACHING 65MPH OR FASTER THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES SLOWLY. MY MECHANIC FOUND THE CODE READER SAYING A MISFIRE WAS HAPPENING. WHEN THAT LIGHT FLASHES IT STARTS TO SHAKE PRETTY BAD. DETERMINED THAT CYLINDER 1 HAS LOW COMPRESSION. ONLY WAY TO FIND OUT FOR SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT IS TO TEAR DOWN THE MOTOR WHICH I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THAT. SAD HOW WAISTFUL PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO BE WITH VEHICLES. ITS STILL PRETTY NEW!! WE TOOK GOOD CARE OF THIS JEEP MAINTAINING IT CORRECTLY SINCE WE GOT IT WITH ONLY 37K MILES AND HAS NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS TILL NOW. SO THIS WAS A SHOCK! BEFORE 37K MILES I AM NOT AWARE OF THIS PARTICULAR JEEP'S ENGINE REPAIR HISTORY. ALSO THIS SAME JEEP HAD THE CLOGGED FUEL LINE CAUSING THE TANK TO SPILL OUT WHILE FUELING UP WHEN IT WAS NOT FULL YET. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
THE LOWER CONTROL ARM AND BALL JOINT FAILED PER F 23 RECALL OF JEEP CHRYSLER AND DAMAGED THE TIRE AND RIM WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED. WE FILED A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE ON AUG 20, 2014 AND THEY WERE PROCESSING IT AND TOLD US THEY WOULD REIMBURSE THE $1146.83 NOT LATER THAN OCT 20, 2014. WE HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM CCASSISTANCE SO WE TELEPHONED TODAY. BRAD, THE AGENT, COULD NOT FIND ANY RECORD AND ALSO SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND THAT THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY REIMBURSEMENT TO US FOR THE REPAIRS WE HAD TO MAKE. THAT IS NOT IN ACCORD WITH THE RECALL AND FURTHERMORE, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM AND BALL JOINTS FAILED AGAIN ON AUGUST 18, 2014 AND THE SAFFORD CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE OF SPRINGFIELD VIRGINIA REPLACED THE CONTROL ARMS AND BALL JOINTS ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE UNDER A F23 RECALL WARRANTY AT NO CHARGE TO US. WE REQUEST THAT NHTSA CONTACT CHRYSLER AND REQUIRE THEM TO REIMBURSE US FOR THE $1146.83 WHICH WE PAID OUT OF POCKET. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE, FUEL COMES SPLASHING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY ANYONE STANDING TOO CLOSE. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE AMOUNT OF FUEL AND VAPORS SPLASHED OUT IS A BIG FIRE RISK. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO BE BADLY BURNT OR KILLED BEFORE THIS GETS FIXED? *TR
