NHTSA Complaint #10704848 — 2007 JEEP LIBERTY

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE SENSOR THAT INDICATES THE TANK IS FULL IS DEFECTIVE. WHEN IT SHUTS OFF THE GAS PUMP, GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE TANK HEAVILY, GETTING ON AUTO, GROUND AND PERSON. I SPOKE TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS DEFECT BUT HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THEY FURTHER ADVISED THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REPAIR EXPENSES IF I CHOOSE TO HAVE THE TANK REPLACED. THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD FIX. THE JEEP LIBERTY HAS POORLY DESIGNED GAS TANKS, THEY SPEW GAS UPON FILLING AND CATCH FIRE UPON REAR IMPACT. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE TO CORRECT THESE ISSUES AND STOP OFFERING PATCHES, I. E. HITCHES THAT HELP PROTECT GAS TANKS IN REAR CONTACT/IMPACT UNDER 40 MPH, THAT DON'T PROTECT THE CONSUMER FROM SERIOUS BODILY HARM AND/OR DEATH. THESE RISK NEED TO ELIMINATED, NOT PACIFIED! *TR
