2005 JEEP LIBERTY — Complaint #659263
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS filed February 27, 2008
NHTSA complaint #659263 (ODI reference 10219292) concerns a 2005 JEEP LIBERTY and was filed on February 27, 2008. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 7, 2008. The vehicle had 45,500 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, other:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same JEEP LIBERTY cohort independently describe similar fuel system, other:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2005 JEEP LIBERTY shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
05 JEEP LIBERTY HAS HAD A CODE OF P0456 SMALL LEAK IN THE EVAP SYSTEM. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM AND IF THE CODE CAME BACK IT WOULD MOST LIKELY BE THE LEAK DETECTION PUMP. THE CODE CAME BACK TWO WEEKS LATER. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER DINO TEST TO SEE IF THEY CAN FIND A FAIL IN THE SYSTEM. I FOUND OUT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM SUGGESTING THAT THIS EVAP SYSTEM LEAK DETECTION PUMP IS DEFECTED IF IT BREAKS EVERY 2 YEARS, THE JEEP DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SMOGGED IN CA FOR 5 YEARS THAT'S ALOT OF VAPOR GOING INTO THE AIR. *TR
