| Overheating of the electrical connector at the fuel heater on the fuel filter / water separator assembly can cause a fuel leak through the electrical connection.operators report the smell of diesel fuel, smoke, difficulty starting and/or poor engine operation.the fuel leakage is reported by some operators as seepage, wetness, several drops, and an oz per minute.evidence of overheating of the connection was observed by some operators and reported as burned or discolored electrical connection at the fuel heater.seven operators report smelling or seeing smoke.one reported a vehicle engine compartment fire however the cause of the fire was not identified, and linkage of the fire cause to this issue is not likely to be established.the location of the fuel filter / water separator assembly is not near the location of the turbo charger which is located on the opposite side of the engine.the turbo charger would present a potentially hot surface however due to the layout of the engine compartment and its components, diesel fuel leakage from the electrical connection would not likely migrate to the turbo charger.at this time, a safety-related defect trend has not been identified and this investigation is closed.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety defect does not exist.the agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances. | ||||||

| Several things 2 list: vehicle = 2.8l diesel jeep liberty, 2006. the codes are p0093 & u0121. 1st) it says a large leak in the fuel system. something in the emission system. has happened several x's. i've had it towed 4 this. engine runs rough & quits @ x's. no power. changed fuel filter & did air leak test in the fuel return system / tech at dodge jeep dealer. no air in return line found. problem still exist on an intermitant & sporadic x frame since june 2010. last x occurred = 8-20-10ish. 2) low boost from hole in the waste gate actuator vacum tube from improper routing at factory. found by tech at jeep dealer. 2 visits many hours & $$$. egr valve replaced @ same time. big $'s. 3rd) belt squeak from bearing going out in a/c compressor /dealer tech??? 3rd visit. need a/c compressor he says. previously changed tensioner pulley for this problem but did not fix problem. they now say its the a/c compressor??? 4th) right rear electric window motor failed 10-2-10. replaced motor/regulator assembly 10-7-10= $172.99. i should be reimbursed for all parts & labor for these damages. i paid a lot of $ for a supposedly good vehicle but it keeps failing. 5th) part time 4x4 light on dash says its in part time 4x4 when in two wheel drive. haven't repaired cause of $. please note that because of low power i was almost in several accidents because of the low turbo boost at acceleration. there could be injuries or fatalities in the future if this happens to someone else that's not mechanically inclined and not aware of reduced engine performance of a turbo failing slowly like mine because of a small hole in the waste gate actuator tubing from vibration on the housing bracket by the tube. was replaced and rerouted by dealer tech. | |||

| My 2006 jeep liberty has a defective gas tank. when filling the tank completely full, the fuel pump nozzle will shut off only to have gasoline come pouring out of the tank onto me, my clothes, the outside of the vehicle, and all over the ground. after investigating the problem, it turns out i'm not the only one with this problem. jeep should be held responsible for installing gas tanks that are deemed to fail. the cost of this gas tank alone, quoted by the dealership is $1400.00, and the filler line is an additional $300.00. this is ridiculous. engine problems are one thing, parts due wear over time and this is understandable. but to have a gas tank that is potentially dangerous by spewing gasoline at consumers and being an environmental hazard is not acceptable. and chrysler/dodge/jeep not taking responsibility for their faulty manufacturing is not acceptable. and lets not forget that the government spent millions of dollars to bale them out, which turns out to be taxpayers money, our money, and they won't stand by their products. shame on you!! looks like i'll be purchasing a toyota fj cruiser instead of an american made classic in the future. thanks for nothing jeep | |||

| On each fill up, gasoline shoots out of the nozzle receptor. this occurs with the operator holding the handle in or with the latch pushed down to hold the handle down. approximately a quarter cup of fuel shoots out of the tank upon overfill. i have called several dealers and the dealer insists the tank has been compromised by ethanol based fuels. i have never filled up with anything but 87 octane. the dealer wants me to pay $5000 for a new gas tank. this occurs at every gas station and i have tried to fill the tank on the slowest setting. neither method helps the overfilling. this is not only a safety concern for me, but an environmental hazard. | |||

| I purchased a used jeep in wisconsin that does not follow nhtsa or epa standards. the jeep overflows when filling the gas tank and spills gas on the ground at every gas station. this is a common issue with jeeps and needs to be recalled. it often requires replacement of the fuel tank or lines. my car is not under warranty since it was purchased used. i am extremely concerned of fire, pollution and my wife's safety with this hazardous issue. | |||

| Hi, i have owned this jeep liberty since 2008 and bought it with 2700 miles on it. the problem i have and many others have is with the filler neck on the fuel tank. it overflows gas every time you fill. even if i slow it at the approx time the meter says it should be getting full. the internet research shows that the new gas tank assembly from jeep has a new/fixed safety valve in the filler neck that is supposed to help with a rollover accident but apparently slaps shut when filling causing the gas puke on clothes, shoes, ground, etc. it is not good for the environment, pocket book, or other people at the gas station as spilled gas is a significant safety concern. it is a chronic failure and jeep should do something. sell part at loss/severe discount, replace for free would be nice, acknowledge the problem is a big issue and stand up and fix it even though it is not the classic, this causes accidents and we better do something so we don't get sued type of safety recall. thanks in advance for the help. | |||

| After viewing some recommendations online about jeep liberty crd vehicle fires i decided to check the component listed as having possible issues on my vehicle. the electrical connection for the fuel heater located on the fuel filter assembly was in fact scorched and soaked through with diesel. a fire has not occurred, however i am seriously concerned that it could and that there is not a mandatory recall on this product. i have left the connection unplugged but winter is coming and i live in an area where that heater is necessary. | |||

| Upon filling gas tank with fuel, the shutoff engages too late, and gasoline pours out down the side of the vehicle onto the ground. this does not matter which gas station is utilized, but happens whenever reaching a full tank, even when care is taken not to engage the spout at its maximum capacity. this is an ongoing issue, since i purchased the car last september, and so the following approximate incident date should be - ongoing. | |||
| 06/24/2011 | |||
| Every time i try to fill the gas tank, it overflows. it doesn't matter what station or pump. if i use the automatic lever on the pump, the gas comes squirting out all over my car, my shoes, and the ground. even if i don't use the lever, and squeeze the pump handle myself, the pump still does not shut off before overflowing. it is a problem with the car, not the gas pump or the operator. | |||

| The jeep liberty has regularly spit out quantities of gasoline while filling up at gas stations. the quantities range from 1 to 8 ounces, with the quantity that poured out today the largest amount yet. the quantities vary by how fast the pump is pumping and whether the pump is hand operated or on automatic but some quantity of gas comes out almost every time. the spill today left at least 4 to 6 ounces of gasoline on the ground which is both an environmental and safety hazard. | |||
| 02/15/2011 | 85000 | ||
| When fueling the tank the gasoline pump will not turn off when the tank gets full causing a significant amount of gasoline to spill down the side of the vehicle and onto the ground as well as splashing all over the handle and the person holding the handle. this happens every time the tank is filled regardless of weather or location. | |||
