| When refueling our 2007 jeep liberty, fuel overflows after fuel pump automatic shutoff is triggered. this overflow now occurs every time vehicle is refueled. no one is attempting to top off the fuel tank. the overflow causes a quantity of fuel, which i estimate at two to four cups, to spill on the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. this fuel overflow flaw creates an extreme fire hazard and environmental contamination risk. this flaw occurs in the wrangler model of chrysler jeep products also, where a recall has been issued. the same flaw is occurring in many thousands of jeep liberty's as is evident by the huge volume of owner statements posted on many websites. this was an occasional problem that has now become consistent. it is impossible to predict and without a recall notice, consumers are unaware of this hazard. this flaw creates a safety hazard for the person refueling the vehicle and anyone nearby (specifically my children who are often with me when fueling our jeep). the fuel spilled has caused property damage in the form of ruined clothing and shoes, and possibly damage to the vehicle as fuel runs down the side into crevices around the rear wheel and axle. why would the manufacturer cover this flaw under warranty for one make and model, the jeep wrangler, and not cover the identical problem for another make and model, the jeep liberty? it's the same problem created by the same manufacturer. | |||

| Gas spurts out of my 2007 jeep liberty fuel tank at every gas station when the tank is almost full. this is not due to human error, the gas pumps do not stop fast enough even when holding it in correctly. this appears to be a faulty gas neck or gas tank part for the 2007 jeep liberty. | |||

| Fuel overflows out of filler tube on 2007 jeep liberty each time i fill it up. pumping fuel at a low rate doesn't solve problem. this occurs when attempting to fill the tank normally (not attempting to top of the tank after gas station pump shuts off) fuel overflow occurs at different pumps, so it is not unique to a particular gas station or pump. this appears to be a common issue on jeep liberties and also other dodge, chrysler vehicles. | |||

| My jeep liberty jerks between 35-55 mph and 1400-1500 rpms. this has caused the car to slip and slid on icy roads. i first noticed it with only 200 miles on the car. it has been into the shop 7 times for this problem. they have reprogrammed the computer, replaced the fuel pump and the problem is still there. chrylser said this is normal. i have another jeep and it does not do this. this is becoming a dangerous problem with the icy conditions where i live. *tr | |||
