  WHILE REFUELING, THE TANK WILL OVERFLOW AND BUBBLE OVER ONTO MY PAINT AND THE GROUND EVERY TIME I FILL UP. IT'S ROUGHLY A CUP OF FUEL EACH TIME. THIS IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM FOR ME AND SAFETY HAZARD. I'M PRETTY SURE OVERFLOWING GASOLINE ISN'T GOOD, AND IT IS DAMAGING TO THE PRODUCT (PAINT) AS WELL; THIS ISSUE IS A GROWING THEME WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES NEED A SERVICE BULLETIN POSTED FOR A SOLUTION. *TR

THE IMPACT CAUSED THE DRIVER TO BECOME DISORIENTED AND DRIVE 200 MILES WITH NO MEMORY OF THE DRIVE AND EVENTS THAT OCCURRED IN A 4 HOUR TIME PERIOD. THE DRIVER REGAINED AWARENESS AFTER THE LOW FUEL WARNING CHIME STARTED TO RING. AT SOME POINT DURING THAT 4 HOUR DRIVE THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR TIRES WENT OFF OF THE ROAD CAUSING A PIECE PLASTIC IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WELL TO BREAK OFF. OTHER THAN THE BROKEN PIECE PLASTIC THE WAS NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE BODY OR SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE.

A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH RETURNS MANY RESULTS OF THIS ISSUE, MOST COMMONLY KNOWN AS 'GAS TANK BURPING'. IT AFFECTS DIFFERENT JEEP MODELS. HERE IS A YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=6FEAMUAUKO8 I WOULD CONSIDER THIS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW AND A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

• 10/26/2015· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

  OVER 2 WEEKS AGO, I WAS COMING HOME WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD, AND AS WE CAME OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, THEN A BUNCH OF OTHER RANDOM LIGHTS ON THE DASH POPPED ON AND BEEPED AT ME. I HEARD THE CAR DIE RIGHT AS I COASTED INTO A GAS STATION. TRIED TO JUMP WITH 3 DIFFERENT CABLES AND IT WOULDN'T JUMP. NEXT DAY, REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT STARTED UP FINE. DROVE TO WORK (ABOUT 5 MILES) AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AS I CAME ACROSS A HILL. MORE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT DIED AGAIN. HAD A MECHANIC REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR, AND THEN WE HAD TO GET A 2ND NEW BATTERY BECAUSE I KILLED THE FIRST ONE. LATER THAT DAY I DROVE IT AROUND, AND AFTER ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING, AS I WAS COMING UP A HILL, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED AROUND AND CAME HOME. NEXT DAY I DROVE ABOUT 10 MINUTES ACROSS TOWN AND BACK AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, BUT IT MADE IT. I THOUGHT MAYBE THE BATTERY WAS JUST TRYING TO GET CHARGED UP, SO I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND IT WAS FINE. WHEN I CAME OFF THE HIGHWAY, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON AND DINGING AT ME... AND THEN IT DIED AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT. WOULD JUMP AT FIRST BUT RPM METER WOULD JUMP UP AND DOWN AND THEN DIE. EVENTUALLY IT WOULDN'T JUMP AT ALL. REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AGAIN. JUMPED THE VEHICLE, LET IT SIT RUNNING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. REVVED THE ENGINE AND IT DIED. WON'T START. WON'T EVEN CLICK. CALLED JEEP AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD PCM. MECHANIC RENTED A SPECIAL TOOL TO TEST IT. THE PCM IS FINE, BUT THE TIPM MODULE IS BAD. NOW ALL MY OTHER WEIRD ISSUES ARE MAKING SENSE: RADIO DIALS SOMETIMES DON'T WORK, SOMETIMES IT STALLS IN THE COLD AT RANDOMLY. AND THE AIR FLAP ACTUATORS STOPPED WORKING, MEANING THAT NO AIR/HEAT BLOWS OUT THE TOP VENTS. AND THEN IT DYING ON ME RANDOMLY, WITH NO OTHER WARNINGS THAT THINGS WERE GOING WRONG.

  2010 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 4X4 BEGAN TO INTERMITTENTLY START AND NOT HAVE HEADLIGHTS, SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL, OTHER TIMES ONLY THE PARKING LIGHTS WOULD WORK, AND OTHER TIMES ONLY THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD WORK. IT WAS TAKEN TO BOTH A JEEP DEALER AS WELL AS A LOCAL GARAGE AND NO ONE COULD FIND AN ISSUE. THEY TRIED REPLACING THE SWITCH BUT THIS DID NOT HELP EITHER. EVENTUALLY, THE ISSUE GOT WORSE AND THE LIGHTS HAVE NOW SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON HIGHWAYS, LOCAL ROADS, ECT. AND HAS BECOME UNSAFE TO DRIVE. JEEP STILL CLAIMS TO NEVER HAVE SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS HOWEVER MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS EXISTS ONLINE FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, A LOCAL GARAGE TOLD ME ABOUT THE TIPM ISSUES AND EVEN UPON SUGGESTING THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS PART, JEEP INSISTED THIS COULDN'T BE THE ISSUE. NOW THE LIGHTS ARE REALLY ACTING UP, SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING, FLASHING FREQUENTLY, ONLY PARKING LIGHTS WORK SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES ONLY ONE LIGHT WORKS, AND OTHER ISSUES ARE BEGINNING (STARTING RANDOMLY, HORN / ALARM RANDOMLY GOING OFF,ECT) JEEP STILL REFUSING THAT THIS IS THE ISSUE AND WANTS TO REPLACE / REPAIR OTHER THINGS FIRST. CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO REPLACEMENT TIPM PERSONALLY, AS AT THIS POINT, THE JEEP LIBERTY IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.

  Airbag light goes on and off. Is not throwing a code on advanced scan tool. Also at times does not recognize the key has been removed from the ignition, and that appears to be a fault with the ignition key pin in the housing which Chrysler wants $1,000 or more to replace the ends tire steering column. What the hell do y'all guys even do because these problems exist all over the internet. Do y'all get kickbacks or make deals with the car companies because it seems not have to do anything with the safety of the equipment that is being sold.

  EVERY TIME WHEN I FILL THE FUEL TANK, WHETHER I USE THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF OR NOT, FUEL BURPS/SPILLS FROM THE FUEL TANK INLET. OVER THE COURSE OF SIX YEARS, THERE HAS BEEN A LARGE WASTE OF FUEL AND MONEY. WITH THIS ISSUE, THE PAINT UNDER THE FUEL TANK INLET HAS BEGUN TO BUBBLE AND PEEL. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. THIS VEHICLE ACTUALLY BELONGS TO MY WIFE, AND, WHENEVER SHE NEEDS FUEL, I AM THE ONE TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE AS SHE IS AFRAID TO FILL IT. I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE TECHNIQUES TO NO AVAIL. THERE ALSO HAS BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE RETURNED HOME REEKING OF UNLEADED FROM THE SPILLAGE ON MY SHOES AS WELL AS MY CLOTHING. MANY PAIRS OF SHOES HAVE BECOME UNWEARABLE BECAUSE OF THIS. I WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHALLENGE ANYONE TO FILL THIS TANK WITHOUT SPILLING, NOT JUST A FEW DROPS, BUT MANY, MANY, MANY DROPS EQUIVALENT TO CUPS. ALL WE AFFECTED JEEP OWNERS WANT IS ACCEPTANCE OF RESPONSIBILITY AND A SIMPLE REPAIR. THE PART SHOULD BE EXTREMELY CHEAP, AND I'M SURE MOST OWNERS WOULD INSTALL THE PART THEMSELVES. LET'S STOP THIS COMPLAINING OF THE ISSUE AND JUST RESOLVE IT!!!
