WHEN FILLING THE TANK, FUEL SPLASHES OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AFTER THE PUMP STOPS. I WOULD ESTIMATE AT LEAST A CUPFULL COMES OUT. IT RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ALSO ONTO THE PUMP HANDLE. IT DOES THIS EVEN WHEN FILLING AT A SLOW PUMPING RATE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FIRE RISK AND A HEALTH RISK. IT SEEMS LIKE FUEL WOULD ALSO SPILL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE OVERTURNS. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS, INSTEAD OF THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF THE FLOW OF GAS, A GUSH OF GAS COMES FLOWING OUT AND OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND. (I WOULD SAY AT LEAST A 2 CUPS OF GAS.) I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMPS FAULT UNTIL IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES AT DIFFERENT STATIONS. I AM OVER THE THREE YEAR WARRANTY (HOWEVER, WAY UNDER THE MILEAGE) AND WHEN I CALLED A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT AS A WARRANTY ISSUE. I BROUGHT UP THE FACT THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS AND I AM VERY SURPRISED THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. THEY SUGGUESTED I CALL CHRYSLER AND DEAL WITH THEM DIRECTLY AND GAVE ME AN 800 NUMBER. (WHICH I HAVE BEEN ON HOLD FOR THE PAST 15 MINUTES!) *TR

Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro 4X2 vehicles manufactured March 21, 2006, through March 1, 2008; and 2008 Jeep Liberty 4X2 vehicles manufactured February 15, 2007, through March 1, 2008. The transfer case heat shield may drop down and rub on the drive shaft, weakening it and potentially causing the drive shaft to break.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the drive shaft breaks, a section of it can strike the transfer case tunnel with enough force that the airbag computer will believe the vehicle is in a crash and thus deploy the airbags. Additionally, the drive shaft failure will result in a loss of motive power. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will add a bracket to support the rear of the heat shield, free of charge. An interim letter was mailed to owners on May 29, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N10.

1DP14004 · Totally Integrated Power Module Failure
Opened Sep 25, 2014 · Closed Jul 24, 2015
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System
In a letter dated August 21, 2014, the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to initiate a defect investigation of alleged failures associated with the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) installed in Chrysler SUV?s, trucks, and vans beginning in the 2007 model year. The petitioner alleges that TIPM defects may result in engine stall, airbag non-deployment, failure of fuel pump shutoff resulting in unintended acceleration, fire, and other symptoms. On September 25, 2014, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened DP14-004 to evaluate the petition for a grant or deny decision. ODI analyzed complaint data provided by CAS as well as complaints submitted to ODI from consumers. In total, there were 296 complaints submitted by the petitioner in the original petition and five supplements, including 271 complaints related to the subject vehicles equipped with TIPM-7. Approximately 3 percent of CAS complaints are related to vehicles equipped with TIPM-6 and ODI?s review of these complaints did not identify any safety defect trends. ODI conducted a detailed review of complaints narratives submitted by CAS and consumers including careful analysis of vehicle repair histories, warranty claims obtained from the manufacturer and any available Customer Assistance Inquiry reports (CAIR). Analysis of the field data indicated that MY2011-2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles exhibited significantly higher complaint rates related to fuel pump relay (FPR) failures than other subject vehicles. In a September 3, 2014 letter to NHTSA, Chrysler submitted a Defect Information Report (DIR) identifying a defect in the FPR within the TIPM-7 which can result in a no start or stall condition in approximately 188,723 model year (MY) 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK) and Dodge Durango (WD) vehicles manufactured from January 5, 2010 through July 20, 2011 (14V-530).In a February 24, 2015 letter, Chrysler submitted a second DIR expanding the scope of the FPR defect condition to include an additional 338,216 MY 2012 through 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles manufactured from September 17, 2010 through August 19, 2013 and MY 2012 through 2013 Dodge Durango vehicles manufactured from January 18, 2011 through August 19, 2013 (15V-115).ODI analysis of the CAS allegations of TIPM defects resulting in stall while driving, airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration, fire and other faults identified a single defect condition related to 1 of over 60 different circuits in the TIPM assembly. The most common effect of this defect condition, related to the fuel pump relay, was a no-start concern, but it could also result in stall while driving (76 complaints). No valid evidence was presented in support of claims related to airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration or fire resulting from TIPM faults and these claims were found to be wholly without merit based on review of the field data and design of the relevant systems and components.Except insofar as the petitioner's contentions relate to the defect condition addressed by the Chrysler recalls, the factual bases of the petitioner's contentions that any further investigation is necessary are unsupported. In our view, additional investigation is unlikely to result in a finding that a defect related to motor vehicle safety exists or a NHTSA order for the notification and remedy of a safety-related defect as alleged by the petitioner at the conclusion of the requested investigation. Therefore, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the agency's safety mission, the petition is den
