FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ABOUT A QUART OF GAS WILL "BURP" OUT DIRECTLY AFTER THE PUMP HAS KICKED OFF, SPILLING OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE PERSON PUMPING GAS. THE ODD THING IS THAT IT ACTUALLY SHOOTS OUT UNDER SOME PRESSURE. THE PROBLEM IS NOT CAUSED BY OVER-FILLING. AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THE SPILLAGE IS A MAJOR ISSUE BY ITSELF, BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. WILL THIS PROBLEM CAUSE A FIRE HAZARD DURING AN ACCIDENT? IF I REPLACE THE GAS TANK NOW, WILL I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER THE NEXT 45,000 MILES. REPLACING THE TANK IS EXTREME AS A REGULAR MAINTENANCE ITEM. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS INCLUDING TODAY, MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY HAS FALLEN OUT OF GEAR. PREVIOUSLY I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND THE CAR SWITCHED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. TODAY THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT I WAS LEAVING WAWA TO GET COFFEE AND ON MY WAY TO WORK, AT THE RED LIGHT THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE, FOOT ON BRAKE AS ONE WOULD NORMALLY DO. WHEN THE LIGHT SWITCHED TO GREEN I LIGHTLY TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR/GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR SAT THERE FOR A MOMENT WITHOUT MOVING AGAIN AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. SO I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME THE CAR STARTED TO REVERSE, AS THE GEAR SHIFT CLEARLY SHOWED THAT I WAS AGAIN IN DRIVE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, THANK GOD BOTH TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED THAT NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS BEHIND ME OR ELSE THEY MAY HAVE BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE READ ONLINE NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS I AM VERY DISSATISFIED THAT IT SEEMS THERE WAS NO RECALL WITH THIS ISSUE AS FAR AS MY RESEARCH SHOWS. I DO HOPE THAT SOME ONE SINCERELY TAKES THE TIME TO LOOK OVER THE DATA AND ANY OTHER OCCURRENCES OF THIS ISSUE. *TR UPDATED 3/17/16 *JS

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

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES
THE PARKING BRAKE FAILED TO ENGAGE ON MY 2008 JEEP LIBERTY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHILE THE PARKING BRAKE WAS FULLY ENGAGED WITH THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL THE JEEP ROLLED BACKWARD AND STRUCK THE WALL CAUSING MINOR RIGHT FRONT FENDER DAMAGE. FORTUNATELY THE JEEP HIT THE WALL STOPPING IT FROM ROLLING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY INTO TRAFFIC OR RUNNING OVER PEDESTRIANS. NOTE; THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2008 JEEP LIBERTY, CHRYSLER RECALL #H28 WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION BUT NOT ON THE AUTOMATIC WHICH USES THE EXACT SAME PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE? EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM SHOULD BE THERE WHEN YOU NEED IT AND IF THE HYDRAULIC BRAKING SYSTEM SHOULD FAIL. THIS IS A VEHICLE SAFETY ALERT THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER FOR THE TRAILER HITCH RECALL 2 YEARS AGO. I HAVE BEEN CONTINUOUSLY TOLD PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. LAST TUESDAY 12-16 I FORCED THE ISSUE WITH THE DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT FOR FRIDAY 12-19. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD I DON'T QUALIFY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS SOME CORROSION. IF THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN, I WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WAY FOR JEEP TO SHIRK ITS OBLIGATIONS. IF THERE IS ANY REPAIR NEEDED BEFORE PERFORMING THE RECALL, IT SHOULD BE JEEP'S RESPONSIBILITY, NOT MINE...UPDATED 05/14/15 *BF *TR UPDATED 9/11/2017*CN

TRAILER HITCHES
I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT EWALD CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE LLC IN FRANKLIN WIS TO ADDRESS SAFETY RECALL N46/NHTSA 13V-252. MY VEHICLE ORIGINALLY CAME WITH THE TOW PACKAGE AND A FACTORY INSTALLED HITCH. ACCORDING TO THE RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED THE FACTORY HITCH WOULD BE INSPECTED AND THE TWO MOST REARWARD MOUNTING BOLTS WOULD BE REPLACED. THE DEALER DID NOT REPLACE THE BOLTS AND SAID THAT WOULD ONLY BE DONE "IF NECESSARY". AS THE RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT THE BOLTS WOULD BE REPLACED AND SAYS NOTHING REGARDING "IF NECESSARY" I AM WONDERING IF THIS RECALL WAS PERFORMED ADEQUATELY. *TR
