Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I started my 2010 Jeep Liberty and it started revving up on its own, my foot was not on gas and it just kept revving up. I put it in drive with my foot on the brake and it took off on its own while both my feet were on the break. I put it in neutral and turned it off for a few minutes. When I restarted it, it continued to rev up on its own.”

“After gassing up removed hose and fuel shot out of filler pipe,over the side of vehicle and unto the ground. At next fuel stop same thing happened,different service station. Dealer states it is not under warranty. I contacted Jeep customer service and they said there are no known issues with my year and make of vehicle. Fix involves valve on fuel tank with new tank.”

“Was putting gas into Jeep as I have always done, and this time after the pump shut off, gas came puking out of the tank down the side of the Jeep. This is the first time this has happened to me, but looking on the internet this is a very common problem. You would think Jeep would recall this!!!!”

“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.”

NHTSA complaint #10557578, filed 2013-12, 33,000 miles

“For the past two months everytime I fill my fuel tank it overflows dramatically. While filling the tank I always follow the prescribed safety measures - I do not put anything under the handle that mechanically holds the nozzle open, I do not try to fill the tank to the very brim and I place the nozzle bellows directly on the fill tube. Despite this the tank consistently overflows down the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. …”
