2006 Jeep Wrangler complaints

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF FUEL PUMP WHICH CAUSES OVERFLOW EVERY TIME. THIS IS NOT INTERMITTENT. CAUSES GAS TO POUR OUT ON BACK FENDER OF JEEP AND DOWN BACK QUARTER PANEL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MANY JEEP OWNERS AND IS POSTED ON MULTIPLE FORUMS. *TR

GAS TANK FILLER OVERFLOWS OR SPRAYS FUEL WHEN TANK IS FILLED. ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND HAS BEEN VOLUNTARILY RECALLED FOR VEHICLES MODEL YEAR 2007 AND NEWER. ISSUE IS CAUSED BY FAILING VALVE IN FILLER HOSE DUE TO HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF ETHANOL IN FUEL.

WHEN FUELING THE JEEP THE PUMP TURNS OFF AND FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE OPENING. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED TO FULL. WHEN PUMP NOZZLE DOES NOT HAVE A RUBBER BOOT THE SPRAY CAN COVER CLOTHING AND SKIN. TYPICALLY THE SPRAY INVOLVES BETWEEN A HALF A CUP TO A CUP OF GASOLINE. *TR

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED WITH 16,500 MILES ON IT. A WEEK AFTER I WAS ACCELERATING ON TO THE INTERSTATE WHEN I HIT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH THE JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO COME TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP ON THE INTERSTATE TO GET IT TO STOP. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES BUT IT HAD A BRAND NEW SET ON IT. SO I HAD THEM MICRO BALANCED. IT DIDN'T DO AGAIN FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS UNTIL I TRIED TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE AGAIN AT 50 MPH. I TOOK IT TO JEEP BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANT AND WAS TOLD BECAUSE IT HAD ONE SIZE LARGER TIRES IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AT 19500 MILES I REPLACED 4 BALL JOINTS, COMPLETE HEAVY DUTY DRAG LINK SYSTEM WITH NEW TIE ROD ENDS, NEW HD TRACK BAR, 4 NEW SHOCKS, NEW FRONT SPRINGS, HD STEERING DAMPER, TIRES MICRO BALANCED, WHEEL ALIGNMENT THAT LASTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN. I NOW HAVE 31,000 MILES ON IT AND STILL FIGHTING THE DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE SPENT OVER A 1000 DOLLARS TO TRY AND FIX THIS. I BELIEVE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE SOMEONE WILL GET KILLED. I THINK IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *TR

WHILE FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, MY JEEP WILL FREQUENTLY SPIT THE FUEL BACK AT ME WHEN IT APPROACHES BEING FULL. THIS ALMOST ALWAYS RESULTS IN A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL LEFT ON THE GROUND AND INSIDE THE GAS CAP AREA. THE GAS WILL ALSO SPRAY ALL OVER THE VEHICLE'S OPERATOR AND THEIR CLOTHING. THIS IS DEFINITELY A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. A QUICK SEARCH ON JEEPFORUM.COM REVEALS THAT THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE AMONG JEEP OWNERS. I'VE FOUND THE FOLLOWING THREADS THAT REFERENCE THIS EXACT PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/GAS-FILLING-OVERFLOW-PROBLEM-645832/ HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/FUEL-SPILLING-WHILE-FUELING-NO-MORE-1191442/ HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/TROUBLE-FILLING-GAS-TANK-SPURTS-THEN-CLICKS-OFF-679245/ HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/GAS-POURS-OUT-649842/ HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/GAS-TANK-FILLER-PROBLEM-635636/ HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/GAS-EXPLODES-NOT-FIRE-ALL-OVER-ME-WHEN-FILLING-UP-620074/ CHRYSLER HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, AND AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO FIX IT. JEEP OWNERS HAVE FOUND THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO REPLACE THE FILLER TUBE WITH NON-JEEP PARTS (SPECIFICALLY, A CHEVY TRAILBLAZER). THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE. FUEL BELONGS IN A GAS TANK, NOT ON THE GROUND, NOT ON THE DRIVER, NOT SPRAYED ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER, EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. *TR

I WAS FUELING THE VEHICLE AND THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE OR WHATEVER IS INSIDE THE FUEL TANK MALFUNCTIONED. FUEL EJECTED FROM WITHIN THE FILL NECK AND WAS PROPELLED ONTO MY FACE AND IN MY EYES! I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH ANY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED OR FUELED. I WAS STANDING ADJACENT TO MY VEHICLE AS MOST DO WHEN GETTING GAS, I HEARD THE GAS GURGLE LIKE IT NORMALLY DOES, THE PUMP CLICKED OFF AND A SECOND LATER MY EYES WERE SLAMMED SHUT AND BURNING. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I HAVE COME TO FIND THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS ACTUALLY TAKEN STEPS TO CORRECT IT IN 2007 AND NEWER VEHICLES. I DON'T KNOW TO WHAT EXTENT THAT IS TRUE BUT THIS IS A HUGE HAZARD. THERE IS SOME PLASTIC VALVING WITHIN THE FILLER NECK THAT FAILS TO KEEP FUEL WITHIN THE TANK AND IT IS APPARENTLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE ETHANOL MIXTURE IN GASOLINE. THAT'S THE EXPLANATION ON MANY WEB SITES. I DON'T CARE WHAT CAUSES THE ISSUE BUT IT IS A POOR, DANGEROUS DESIGN. IF IT WAS A FREAK ISSUE THEN I WOULD TAKE IT IN STRIDE BUT TO FIND THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF IT AND DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT FOR MY MODEL YEAR IS APPALLING. THIS IS AN ISSUE OF A HIGHLY FLAMMABLE FUEL UNDER PRESSURE BEING PROJECTED UPWARDS TOWARD ANYONE FUELING A VEHICLE AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE NHTSA RECEIVED A REPORT FROM CHRYSLER THAT THE ISSUE EXISTED YET THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED TO RECALL ANY AND ALL VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE. GASOLINE IN THE EYES IS VERY PAINFUL. PERIOD. I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE FROM THE GAS ST

WHEN VEHICLE IS BEING FUELED UP, GAS LEAKS OUT OF TANK AND SPILLS. SEEMS THE CHECK VALVE IS STUCK OF BROKEN. I MUST MAKE SURE I STOP FILLING BEFORE IT GETS FULL SO IT DOESN'T SPILL. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ACROSS A BRIDGE, AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, AFTER HITTING A BUMP THE STEARING WHEEL STARTED TO WOBBLE GREATLY. HAD TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO APPROX. 30 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP WOBBLING. WHEN I INCREASED SPEED THE SYMPTOM DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TIRE SHOP HAD HAD THEM BALLANCE ALL WHEELS. WHEN I LEFT THE SHOP WHEN I REACHED 45 MPH 10 MINUTES LATER THE WOBBLE OCCURED AGAIN. *TR

GAS SPURTS OUT OF TANK WHEN I FILL IT UP AND DRIPS ALL OVER GAS STATION FLOOR. THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT STOP ONCE ITS FULL LIKE OTHER CARS AND IM WORRIED SPILLED FUEL COULD IGNITE. ALSO BAD FOR ENVIRONMENT. *TR

OVER FILLS AT THE FUEL PUMP ALL THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING, THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AND CAUSED FUEL TO SPILL OUT FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000. *TR

AFTER HITTING A BUMP MY JEEP'S STEERING VIOLENTLY SHAKES UNTIL I SLOW DOWN. IT FEELS LIKE I MAY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. THE WHEELS WERE RECENTLY REPLACED AND BALANCED WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER THAT MY ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC MONITOR MAY BE DEFECTIVE AND THAT THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO LIFETIME. I DID THE TEST AND IT IS ONE OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. I TOOK IT TO ERTLEY MOTORWORLD AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE I LIVE IN AN AREA THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE THIS POLLUTION TEST NOW, THE ONLY WAY THEY WOULD FIX IT IS IF I PAY THEM $ 79.95. I SAID WHAT IF THE TEST IS REQUIRED IN THE FUTURE IN MY AREA OR IF I MOVE TO ANOTHER LOCATION THAT REQUIRES IT OR SELL IT TO SOMEONE IN THAT AREA AND IT WON'T BE ALLOWED TO BE LICENSED? I WAS TOLD $ 79.95 OR DON'T FIX IT. NOW I'M MAD AND OUT OF $ 10.00 IN GAS FOR MY TROUBLE. WHY SEND THESE NOTICES IF IT'S JUST RED TAPE TO PLEASE THE GOVERNMENT AND MAKE FOOLS OF THE CONSUMER? *TR

AT EVERY FILL UP FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER MYSELF ,MY CAR AND THE FLOOR. VERY UNSAFE! AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF NEVER KICKS IN WHEN FULL. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO YOU NEED AND FOR HOW MANY YEARS! DOES ANYBODY ACTUALLY READ THEM BESIDES THE CONSUMER? THERE ARE OVER 500 COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THIS WEBSITE ALONE. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL? *TR

THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS OF 50MPH OR ABOVE. THE SHAKING DOES NOT STOP AND I MUST IMMEDIATELY STOP THE VEHICLE WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THIS FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED TWO YEARS AGO, I HAVE REPLACED THE SHOCKS, STEERING STABILIZER, UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS, ALL FOUR TIRES AND HAVE HAD IT PROPERLY ALIGNED. THE PROBLEM WILL STOP FOR A FEW MONTHS THEN SUDDENLY HAPPEN AGAIN. AFTER DOING FURTHER RESEARCH I REALIZED THIS IS CALLED THE DEATH WOBBLE AND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY JEEP OWNER TO EXPERIENCE THIS. THIS VIOLENT SHAKING IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY JEEP / CHRYSLER AS A WARRANTY OR RECALL ISSUE. *JS

LOST BREAKS ON VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO GET FIXED...WAS INFORMED THE BREAK LINE WAS MOUNTED AGAINST BODY AND DUE TO THIS AND NORMAL BOUNCING OF THE VEHICLE THE METAL CUT THROUGH THE BREAK LINE.

THE GAS TANK SPILLS EVERY TIME THE JEEP IS FUELED. THE NECK DOESN'T RESPOND FAST ENOUGH THAT THE TANK IS FULL AND IT CONTINUES TO ACCEPT GASOLINE UNTIL IT SPITS GASOLINE BACK OUT OF THE TANK. THE GASOLINE THEN RUNS DOWN THE QUARTER PANEL, ONTO THE GROUND, AND SOMETIMES ONTO THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK IF THEY ARE HOLDING THE FUELING NOZZLE. IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT OR THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS AT EVERY GAS STATION AS WELL. *JB

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS AT PUMP STATION. THE VEHICLE IS NOT ABLE TO TELL THE GAS PUMP THAT THE TANK IS FULL OR NEAR FULL. AS A RESULT, GAS OVERFLOWS FROM THE FILLER NECK ONTO THE LEFT REAR FENDER, QUARTER PANEL AND GROUND. THIS IS UNSAFE AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BY CHRYSLER TO FIX THIS. *TR

FUELING THE VEHICLE ALWAYS RESULTS IN FUEL SPRAY FROM THE VENT ON THE FILLER NECK. THIS SPRAY HAPPENS 100% OF FUELINGS. THE TANK IS OFTEN LESS THAN 90% FULL AFTER THIS AND REQUIRES TOPPING AND ADDITIONAL FUEL SPRAY. I HAVE HAD TO REPORT TO NAVY MEDICAL TO HAVE MY EYES FLUSHED AND CHECKED AFTER BEING SHOT DIRECTLY IN THE EYES WHILE LISTENING FOR THE DISTINCT SOUND OF FUEL BUBBLES RISING TO THE TOP OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK. THIS CAUSES ON AVERAGE 1/8 GALLON OF FUEL TO BE SPILLED PER FILL UP. OVER 40K MILES AT AN AVERAGE OF 14MPG THAT IS 22 GALLONS OF FUEL SPILLED AND MORE EVAPORATED. IF FILLING STATIONS REQUIRE SHUT OFF VALVES, AND ALL NEW VEHICLES REQUIRE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS SYSTEMS TO CONTROL ENVIRONMENTAL AIR QUALITY, TO THE GREAT DETRIMENT OF GAS MILEAGE, WHY HAS THIS ISSUE NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? WHY DO WE HAVE TO USE SHODDY GAS CANS WITH CARB COMPLIANT NOZZLES WHICH CAUSE MORE FUEL SPILLS THAN NORMAL FUEL CONTAINERS IF THE GOVERNMENT IS PREPARED TO IGNORE THIS? I'VE BEGUN USING SURPLUS NATO JERRY CANS TO FILL MY TRUCK AND AVOID BEING SOAKED IN DANGEROUSLY FLAMMABLE AND CANCER CAUSING FUEL. *TR

ANYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, FUEL EXPLODES OUT OF THE FILLER BEFORE THE GAS HOSE CLICKS OFF. CAUSING GAS TO SPLASH ON MYSELF, THE GROUND AND MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE ITS A DEFECT IN THE JEEPS FLAPPER VALVE. DEFINITELY DANGEROUS AND I'M SURPRISED IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET AS IT COULD CAUSE GAS TO BE SPLASHED IN THE EYES. *TR

MY JEEP GOES INTO A DEATH WOBBLE WHENEVER I HIT 50-55 MPH. THERE ARE TIME I HAVE TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL W/BOTH HANDS, WITH A DEATH GRIP FOR FEAR I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WILL LEAVE MY LANE OR FLIP OVER. I HAVE DRIVEN SEVERAL JEEPS AND OTHER AUTOS AND HAVE NEVER EVER EVER BEEN SO FRIGHTENED OF CRASHING. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY CHRYSLER TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN I FUELED THE VEHICLE AND IT BECAME FULL, THE FUEL WOULD SPRAY BACK OUT OF THE FILLER SPOUT AS THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY. IT HAS CONTINUED DOING THIS UNTIL PRESENT. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY COULD TAKE THE TANK OFF AND CHECK IT OUT BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I DECIDED TO JUST PUT UP WITH IT. I LISTEN TO THE FUEL AS I FILL IT AND SHUT IT OFF MANUALLY WHEN IT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS ABOUT FULL. THIS KEEPS IT FROM SPRAYING FUEL BACK OUT THE FILLER NECK MOST OF THE TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD CREAKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING, GASOLINE WOULD LEAK FROM THE FILLER NOZZLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE PRESSURE POINT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED FUEL WOULD SPEW OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK WHENEVER ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WAS TOLD THAT THE OCCURRENCE WAS NORMAL WHEN REFUELING OVER THE RECOMMENDED CAPACITY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH OR ABOVE, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BECOME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE TIE RODS BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000. *TR

I BORROWED MY HUSBAND'S JEEP AND AS SOON AS I WENT ABOVE 50 THE WHOLE THING STARTED SHAKING REAL VIOLENTLY. I HAD A HARD TIME CONTROLLING IT. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED HIM. HE SAID IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW WEEKS AND ALWAYS TAKES BACK ROADS TO AVOID DRIVING FASTER. I HAD TO PUT ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND CRUISE TO THE NEAREST EXIT. THANK GOODNESS MY KIDS WEREN'T WITH ME BECAUSE I WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO CONTROL IT. IT SCARED THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME. THEN I SAW ONLINE IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM(WITH MODIFICATIONS-TOO BAD WE NEVER DID ANY) BUT NOT A BIG ENOUGH DEAL TO HAVE A RECALL. LET THEM DRIVE IT AND SEE HOW QUICK IT GETS DONE. DANGEROUS. THEY SAY IT'S AN EASY FIX AFTER YOU TRY HALF A DOZEN THINGS. GREAT! LET ME GET MY CHECKBOOK... *TR

WHEN PUTTING GAS IN MY JEEP USING A FUEL PUMP GAS RUNS OUT ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND MAKES A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND BEFORE THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY CAR UNLESS I HAPPEN TO HEAR HOW CLOSE THE GAS LEVEL IS GETTING AND SHUT THE PUMP OFF ON MY OWN. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER TJ SPILLS FUEL WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FILLED COMPLETELY, ENOUGH TO COVER THE REAR CORNER AND LEAVE A MEDIUM SIZED PUDDLE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. I USE ETHANOL FREE GASOLINE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TREATED POORLY, AND ALL OF THE COMPONENTS ARE OEM. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM IN YOUR DATA BASE AND HAVE FOUND OVER 300 COMPLAINTS FOR MY MODEL YEAR ALONE THAT MATCH. I'VE BEEN A FIREFIGHTER FOR 12 YEARS, SO I KNOW WHEN A PROBLEM CAN BE SERIOUS, AND THIS IS ONE. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE PEOPLE HACKING IN PARTS FROM OTHER MANUFACTURERS TO FIX THIS, HOWEVER I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS IDEA. *TR

WHEN YOU REACH APPROX. 48 MILES AN HOUR, THE FRONT END WOBBLES AND YOU LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON A SLIGHT GRADE AT APPROX 60 MPH VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED THEN NOTED PLUME OF WHITE SMOKE EXITING FROM REAR I VEHICLE. UPON PULLING OVER A SMALL ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE WAS NOTED AN EASILY EXTINGUISHED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION RIDE SIDE OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS NOTES TO BE COVERED IN TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS WAS RIGHT SIDE ONLY FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED TRANSMISSION FLUID COMING FROM RIGHT SIDED TRANSMISSION BREATHER TUBE JUST BEHIND DIPSTICK ON RIGHT SIDE. CAUSE ON FLUID DISCHARGE APPEARS TO BE AN OVER HEATING OR PRESSURIZATION OF TRANSMISSION CASE AS THERE ARE NO OTHER PORTS OF EXIT. TRAMS CASE IS INTACT AND AREAS AROUND TRANSMISSION ARE DRY FREE OF DEBRIS OR EVIDENCE OF LEAKAGE. FLUID LEVEL PRIOR TO EVENT WAS CORRECT AND NO POSSIBILITY OF OVER FILLING AS FLUID LEVEL WAS INSPECTED ON REGULAR BASIS. CONTACT DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TRANSMISSION FLUIDS ARE CAPABLE OF CAUSING FIRE. DEALER STATED ALSO NO POSSIBLE WAY FLUID COULD BE COMING FROM BREATHER TUBE. THEY DID OFFER A QUOTE FOR REPAIR OF $3800 TO $4000 TO REPAIR PROBLEM. THIS ALL WAS DONE WITHOUT OFFERING TO EVEN INSPECT THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL TANK SPITS OUT GASOLINE WHEN FILLING TANK THIS HAPPENS 99 TIMES OUT OF 100 WHEN FUELING. *TR

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK THE PUMP NEVER SHUT OFF CAUSING GAS TO SPILL EVERYWHERE. FAULTY CHECK VALVE IN FUEL TANK. SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER . THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, FUEL SPEWED BACK ONTO THE CONTACT WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,000. *TR

GAS TANK HAS SPLASH BACK EVERY TIME YOU FUEL IT SPILLING GAS OUT ONTO FENDER AND GROUND. *TR

WHILE FUELING UP MY 2006 JEEP UNLIMITED TJ, THE GAS SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP ONCE IT'S FULL INSTEAD OF TURNING OFF THE PUMP. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE DAY ONE, WHICH MEANS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS MANY OTHER 05 & 06 JEEPS HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. *TR

DURING REFUELING, AS THE TANK IS ALMOST FULL, GASOLINE SPLASHES OUT (OR ERUPTS) FROM THE FILLER OPENING JUST AFTER THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY HAPPENING SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT. IT HAS HAPPENED IN MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, IN MANY DIFFERENT STATES. CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS 52217. DURING THE FIRST YEAR OR SO, THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT SPLASHED BACK OUT OF THE TANK DEPENDED ON THE GASOLINE FLOW RATE AND SENSITIVITY OF THE PUMP NOZZLE SHUT-OFF MECHANISM. SOMETIMES THE SOUND OF GASOLINE STARTING TO BACK UP IN THE FILLER NECK IS USED TO SHUT-OFF THE PUMP NOZZLE BEFORE THE GASOLINE SPLASHES OUT, BUT OFTEN IT IS TOO NOISY AROUND GAS STATIONS TO HEAR IT AND/OR THE GASOLINE IS FLOWING TOO FAST TO TURN IT OFF IN TIME. IN THE LAST YEAR, HOWEVER, FUEL HAS BEEN SPLASHING OUT JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME THE TANK IS REFUELED. IT SPLASHES OUT ON THE FENDER PANEL UNDER THE FILLER OPENING, ONTO THE UNDERCARRIAGE, AND ON THE GROUND. THIS CREATES A HAZARDOUS, MESSY, AND WASTEFUL SPILL OF GASOLINE. THIS IS PARTICULARLY A BIG PROBLEM IN STATES SUCH AS OR THAT DO NOT LET THE VEHICLE OWNER PUMP THEIR OWN GAS. *TR

OUR JEEP HAS HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN REACHING APPROXIMATELY 50MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE/OSCILLATE UNCONTROLLABLY TO WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN ITS LANE. THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE PRESSED HEAVILY IN ORDER FOR IT TO STOP AND PRESENTS A CONCERN FOR REAR END COLLISION. TO PREVENT THE WOBBLE FROM HAPPENING, THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE DRIVEN 30MPH BELOW HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT, CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS. JUST EARLIER, THE DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED AND WE VEERED INTO THE NEXT LANE AND ALMOST HIT A CAR. I ALSO SPRAINED MY ARM ONCE WHEN TRYING TO KEEP IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED GOING DOWN HILL. *TR

MAKE : JEEP MODEL : WRANGLER YEAR : 2006 MANUFACTURER : DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION SERVICE BULLETIN NUM : 1900306 OR 215088 DATE OF BULLETIN: AUG 30, 2006 NHTSA ITEM NUMBER: 10020334 COMPONENT: STEERING SUMMARY: STEERING SHIMMY. [XXX] EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, WHICH HAS ONLY 23K MILES, THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE AND SHIMMER AT 54-55 MILES PER HOUR. MANY TIMES IF THE ROAD IS NOT EVEN I HAVE A FEELING THAT THE JEEP WILL GO OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVE TO GRAB THE STEERING WHEEL W/BOTH HANDS TIGHTLY WHENEVER I AM AT THE 54-55 SPEED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I OWNED THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT FOR THE LONGEST TIME THAT IT WAS THE ROAD CAUSING THIS. I HAVE THIS VEHICLE AS A SECOND CAR AND DO NOT AT ALL FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR NOW. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE AN 06 JEEP WRANGLER WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED MY TIRES THREE TIMES. I TOOK MY JEEP AND HAD THREE MECHANICS LOOK IT OVER TODAY, EACH WITH THE SAME RESPONSE, " I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE." I'VE CALLED JEEP SEVERAL TIMES, I REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AS THEY RECOMMENDED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. *TR

BETWEEN 45-55MPH MY FRONT WHEELS STARTS TO WOBBLE BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH MAKING IT HARD TO STEER. THIS IS A HAZARD AS IT HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC AND RANDOMLY ALTHOUGH MORE CONSISTENT. I HAVE HAD A STEERING CYLINDER REPLACED BUT IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE WOBBLING IS JUST GETTING WORSE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD ANY SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS. IT IS A SERIOUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED TO THE GROUND WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE FUEL TANK VALVE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, GAS WILL POUR OUT WHEN IT'S FULL/OVERFULL AND SOMETIMES SPRAY GAS EVERYWHERE. *TR

FUELING THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT THAT NO MATER HOW SLOW YOU TRY TO PUMP FUEL INTO IT SHOOTS BACK UP THE TANKS FUEL PIPE AND ONTO THE GROUND AND ON YOU IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL. THIS FUEL SYSTEM HAS AN OBVIOUS FLAW. NO VEHICLE SHOULD BE THIS DIFFICULT TO FUEL. IN 40 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. I WON'T LET ANYONE ELSE PUT FUEL IN THIS 2006 JEEP WRANGLER BECAUSE I'M AFRAID A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD TO EASILY OCCUR. *TR

FUEL SPILLS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. THE THING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SHUT OFF THE NOZZLE DOES NOT WORK. *TR

WHEN FUELING MY 2006 JEEP LJ GAS SPRAYS OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ANYONE STANDING NEAR THE BACK OF THE JEEP WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND THE PUMP TRIPS OFF. *TR

JEEP AT TIMES HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN DURING OPERATION EVEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS. IF YOU PULL OVER AND WAIT A MINUTE OR TAP ON THE TIPM THE CAR WILL OPERATE AGAIN. ALSO AT TIMES THE HORN, WIPERS / FLUID, AND ALL LIGHTS COME ON CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING. YOU CAN TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE CAR IT EVEN STAYS ON AND EVERYTHING STAYS ON UNTIL YOU EITHER TAP ON THE TIPM OR DISCONNECT THE BATTER COMPLETELY. FINALLY, AT TIMES WHEN YOU USE THE KEY FOB TO OPEN THE CAR AGAIN EVERYTHING WILL COME ON EVEN THE ENGINE WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. YOU THEN AGAIN HAVE TO TAP ON THE TIPM OR DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED OUT OF THE FUEL TANK AFTER IT WAS FILLED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR THAT CONTROLLED THE FUEL LEVEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,000. *TR...UPDATED 05/22/13 *BF

UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE IN FRONT AXLE/WHEELS AND SHAKING OF STEERING WHEEL.

WHEN DRIVING AT APPRX. 50 MILES PER HOUR, IF YOU HIT SEMI ROUGH/ROUGH ROADWAY THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO A HORRIBLE TOTAL FRONT END SHAKE. IT WOULD ONLY GO AWAY BY PUTTING ON YOUR BRAKES, AND THIS IS NOT SUCH A GOOD IDEA WHEN EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROADWAY IS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT AND YOU HAVE TO HIT YOUR BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN TO GET YOUR FRONT END UNDER CONTROL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF AND FUEL SPRAYED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC STATED THE FUEL PURGE VALVE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.
