FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I JUST BOUGHT A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED WITH 90K MILES. MY LAST TWO FILLUPS AT DIFFERENT PUMPS RESULTED IN THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF BUT GAS SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ONCE WAS WITH THE AUTOPUMP LEVER ENGAGED AND ONCE WAS WHILE HOLDING THE PUMP LEVER MANUALLY. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM EXPOSURE AND PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT. CONSIDER THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM DUMPING GAS ON THE GROUND ON A DAILY BASIS. IT COULD BE A STAGGERING AMOUNT OF GAS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SPILL DURING REFUELING. WHILE REFUELING THE CAR, WHEN THE TANK WAS ALMOST FULL, FUEL STARTED TO SPILL RESULTING IN SPRAYING THE CAR AND THE GROUND WITHIN 3 FEET RADIUS WITH GAS. THIS CREATES A RISK OF FIRE AND HEALTH HAZARDS BY SPILLING GAS ONTO SKIN. CHRYSLER/JEEP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE A TSB FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT REFUSE TO MAKE A RECALL. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE OF THE PROBLEM ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER 3 TIMES FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE FAILED TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

JEEP LIBERTY: DUE TO A DISABILITY, I CANNOT REACH SNOW ON ROOF TO CLEAR. DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH, BRAKING TO SLOW DOWN FOR STOP SIGN, ALL THE HEAVY SNOW ON ROOF SLID FORWARD, COMPLETELY COVERED WINDSHIELD. I WAS A BLIND DRIVER FOR AT LEAST 100 FEET. NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME THIS TIME, THANK GOD. HAD TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD TO CLEAR WINDSHIELD. NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH ANY CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED. I AM 62 AND OWNED A LOT OF CARS. I AM SO UPSET, I MAY SELL THIS CAR, I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT WITH SNOW ON ROOF. CONTACTED DEALER, HE SAID CLEAN THE SNOW OFF THE ROOF. I AM DISABLED, I TOLD HIM. HE DID NOT DO ANYTHING, OFFER ADVICE, ETC. HAVE YOU HAD ANY COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS? *TR

PARKING BRAKE, POWER TRAIN
KEY WAS STUCK IN IGNITION OF 2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED EDITION. ALSO NOTICED THE SHIFTER WAS MOVING FREELY, WITHOUT HAVING TO BE PUSHED IN LIKE IT TYPICALLY WOULD. TOOK TO JEEP DEALERSHIP & WAS TOLD THAT ENTIRE SHIFTER COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS PLASTIC & BRAKES EASILY - COST $200.00. HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN FUELING THE CAR RESULTING IN GAS ON THE VEHICLE AND GROUND OF THE GAS STATION. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT NEEDED A FUEL VAPOR FILTER REPLACED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOW THE DEALER STATES I NEED A NEW GAS TANK. SINCE THIS IS A NON-MAINTAINABLE PART I FEEL IT IS A MFR. DEFECT AND A VERY UNSAFE ONE AT THAT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
WHILE BACKING DOWN A DRIVEWAY, MY BRAND NEW JEEP LIBERTY'S SERVICE BRAKE DID NOT WORK AND I WAS ONLY STOPPED AFTER HITTING A POLE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR MY MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR; HOWEVER, MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE (ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER) SHOULD BE EFFECT-- THOUGH MY ACCIDENT FITS THE RECALL DESCRIPTION PERFECTLY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FILLING MY JEEP WITH GASOLINE THE PUMP IS NEVER TRIGGERED TO SHUTOFF AND IT CAUSES A LOT OF FUEL SPILLING ALL OVER ME, THE CAR AND THE GROUND. PROMPTING ME TO QUICKLY CLEAN MYSELF AND THE CAR. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION NOT ONLY DUE TO ITS FLAMMABILITY BUT ALSO ITS POTENTIAL CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS. *TR

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY I LOST POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP WITHOUT INCIDENT. MY STEERING RACK AND A POWER STEERING PRESSURE LINE STARTED LEAKING A LOT OF FLUID RESULTING IN LOSS OF STEERING. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A FAMILIAR PROBLEM TO CHRYSLER/JEEP BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND A RECALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. *LN

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE NOZZLE DOES NOT TRIGGER TO RELEASE THE SHUT OFF ON THE GAS COMING BACK OUT OF THE INPUT WHICH RESULTS IN A LOT OF GAS OVERFLOWING BACK ONTO MY VEHICLE, THE GROUND AND MY CLOTHES. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IF I WATCH THE AMOUNT OF GALLONS BEING PUT INTO THE TANK AND TRY AND SHUT IT OFF AHEAD OF TIME. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
CONTROL MECHANISM FOR THE RIGHT REAR ELECTRIC WINDOW BROKE AND WINDOW FELL DOWN. WOULD NOT ROLL UP. MECHANIC SAID CONTROL WAS BROKEN AND THAT WHOLE CONTROL MECHANISM WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AS THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT JEEP SELL PART EVEN THOUGH ONLY PART OF MECHANISM WAS BROKEN AND ELECTRIC MOTOR STILL WORKED. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR A PART THAT SHOULD BE SOLD SEPARATELY. I HAVE SEEN OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A FAULTY PART ON THE JEEP LIBERTY. CAR ONLY HAD 68,000 MILES EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2003. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
PURCHASED NEW 2005 JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE IN JUNE 2005 ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT FLASHED FOR WEEKS THEN WENT ON SOLID. ASKED DEALER TO CHECK, THEY ADDED AIR AND IT WENT OUT. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER THE SAME SITUATION OCCURRED. I ADDED AIR IT WENT OUT AND THEN IT REPEATED. EVENTUALLY THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ILLUMINATED. FIVE YEARS LATER I JUST DRIVE WITH THE SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED SINCE NOONE (DEALER/PRIVATE GARAGE/TIRE STORE) AND NOTHING (ADD AIR/NEW TIRES/NEW SENSORS ($120 EACH) FIXED THE PROBLEM. *TR
