2006 Jeep Wrangler complaints

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, REGARDLESS OF FAST OR SLOW, GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILL PORT WHEN THE TANK IF FULL. FAST, IT SPEWS GAS ABOUT 2 FEET OUT FROM THE VEHICLE, SLOW, IT JUST RUNS OUT THE FILLER SPOUT WITHOUT SHUTTING THE PUMP OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I USUALLY LOOSE A COUPLE CUPS OF FUEL ON THE GROUND EVERY TIME I FILL UP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM SPEWS FUEL ALL OVER VEHICLE AND OPERATOR WHEN FILLING. WILL NOT SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. *TR

CHECK VALVE FAILS CAUSING FUEL TO SPILL OR "SPIT BACK" ONTO THE GROUND OR THE PERSON REFUELING THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SPRAYS OVER ONTO THE GROUND, JEEP AND OWNER WHEN REFUELING. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK AT A GAS STATION, THE PUMP HANDLE CLICKS OFF, AND FUEL POURS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN FUELING, IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS FUEL OUT FROM THE GAS TANK. IT SEEMS TO BE A BIT BETTER IF I MANUALLY HOLD THE FUEL PUMP AND PUMP THE GAS AT AN EXTREMELY SLOW RATE. I AM NOT ABLE TO LET THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY FILL OTHERWISE FUEL SPILLS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FUEL THE JEEP. *TR

FUEL SPILL ON EVERY FILL UP. *TR

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF TOO LATE, RESULTS IN FUEL SPILLAGE EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS FILLED UNLESS THE TANK IS NOT FILLED COMPLETELY. GAS BLOWS BACK ONTO HAND OF PERSON FILLING VEHICLE CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD, AND ALSO SPILLS ONTO GROUND AND VEHICLE CAUSING FIRE HAZARD. THE SHUT-OFF WORKS, BUT COMES TOO LATE TO BE EFFECTIVE - USUALLY PUMP SHUTS OFF THEN MOMENTARILY LATER GAS FLIES OUT OF FILLER NECK. *TR

CONSISTENTLY, WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF FILL RATE, IF THE NOZZLE IS NOT STOPPED MANUALLY, GASOLINE ERUPTS FROM THE FILLER NECK WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. IT IS USUALLY ENOUGH TO LEAVE GAS DRIPPING DOWN THE VEHICLE AND A SMALL PUDDLE UNDERNEATH. THIS HAPPENS EACH AND EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED. *TR

I WAS FILLING UP THE JEEP AND THE GAS SPILL OUT FORM THE NOZZLE. I HAVE READ ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A CONSTANT ISSUE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME AND I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. *TR

FUEL SPLASH-BACK UPON FILLING VEHICLE WITH FUEL. FUEL COVERS OUT SIDE CORNER OF VEHICLE AND GROUND CREATING HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS AS WELL AS POLLUTING GROUND WATER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE UNLOADING GOODS FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE PARKED VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY IN REVERSE AND DOWNHILL UNTIL CRASHING INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE HEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE ALLOWED HER TO ERRONEOUSLY REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING SHIFTED INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,700.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY SHUT-OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I'VE OWNED THE JEEP FOR 2 MONTHS NOW AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. WHEN THE GAS TANK GETS FULL IT SPITS OUT THE GASOLINE INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF THE PUMP HANDLE LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE NOT FOUND ANY MENTION OF A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE IF THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS. *TR

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON, I HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN REFUELING THE CAR. I BOUGHT MY CAR SECOND-HAND. IF I LEAVE THE GAS NOZZLE ON 'AUTO', THE AUTO-SHUTOFF OF THE PUMP SHUTS OFF TOO LATE, RESULTING IN A GUSH OF GASOLINE SQUIRTING OUT OF THE TANK. THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT ANY SPILLING OF GAS DURING FUELLING IS TO LISTEN TO THE NOISE THAT THE ESCAPING AIR OUT OF THE TANK MAKES, OR GUESSTIMATING ROUGHLY HOW MUCH GAS THE CAR NEEDS, THEN MANUALLY VERY SLOWLY CONTINUE TO FILL UP. *TR

AT 53 MPH THE FRONT END STARTS WHAT IS WELL KNOWN AS A DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT JEEP NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ON AND FIX. MY JEEP SHAKES SO BAD IT WILL JERK THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF YOUR HANDS. *TR

NOW THAT HAVE FORCED CHRYSLER TO RECALL JEEP MODELS FOR AIRBAG PROBLEMS HOW ABOUT FORCING JEEP/CHRYSLER TO RECALL AND FIX JEEP FOR THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS LAST YEAR. AT ABOUT 50MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I THOUGHT I WAS IN A BLENDER. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND JEEP FORUM AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS. I EVEN CHECKED WITH THE JEEP DEALER HERE IN OKLAHOMA AND WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE BALL JOINTS, STEERING CYLINDER AND/OR EVEN WORN TIRES. HE EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC SAID THE BALL JOINTS WERE GOOD... THE TIRES JUST OK. BUT STEERING CYLINDER WOULD PROBABLY NEED REPLACING. SO I PAID $145.00 TO THE JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALER FOR A NEW STEERING CYLINDER. TURNS OUT THE ONE I PURCHASED WAS MUCH BIGGER THEN THE ONE I REPLACED. IT STILL SHOOK A LITTLE UNTIL I REPLACED THE TIRES AT ANOTHER $650.00. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. I HOPE YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS. PLEASE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT AND MAYBE ALREADY HAS. THANKS *TR

EACH TIME I REFILL THE FUEL TANK, THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF SPLASH BACK OF FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER AFTER THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN IT DETECTS THAT THE TANK IS FULL. IT STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 30000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFUEL THE JEEP. *TR

ADDING GASOLINE TO GAS TANK AT A FILLING STATION WITH A STANDARD PUMP NOZZLE, WILL ALWAYS RESULT IN AN EXPULSION OF GASOLINE FROM THE VEHICLE FILLER OPENING WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THE PUMP NOZZLE DOES SHUT OFF THE DELIVERY OF FUEL, BUT A SUSPECTED DESIGN FLAW PERMITS GASOLINE TO ERUPT OUT OF THE FILLER OPENING, WHICH WILL SPLASH ONTO AN UNSUSPECTING PERSON DOING THE REFILLING, ONTO HIS SHOES, AND RUN DOWN THE OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE, CREATING AN UNNECESSARY HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARD. VIDEO DOCUMENTATION CAN BE EASILY FOUND WITH A QUICK SEARCH ON YOUTUBE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 JEEP TJ RUBICON & AM HAVING A REFUELING ISSUE AT THE GAS PUMP. AT FIRST IT OVERFLOWED MAYBE TWICE. NOW I CAN'T REFUEL WITHOUT THE SHUT -OFF (ON THE GAS PUMP) SHUTTING OFF. THE ONLY WAY I CAN REFUEL IS BY HOLDING THE PUMP LEVER GENTLY WHICH DOES RESULTS IN AN OVER FLOW. I TALKED TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE & THEY SAID THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM & MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME FOR DIAGNOSTICS A MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHICH WILL COST ME $120.00 FOR A PROBLEM THAT OTHER TJ OWNERS ARE TALKING ABOUT ON THE INTERNET. THIS HAS BEEN A REFUELING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PUTTING ON HER SEAT BELT AND TRYING TO TIGHTEN IT, THE METAL PART INSIDE THE CHAIR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,113.

WHEN FUELING MY JEEP WRANGLER AND ALL GAS STATIONS, THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN BEFORE THE FUEL CUTOFF SWITCH ON THE GAS PUMPS KICKS OFF. EVERY SINGLE TIME THIS HAPPENS. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FILLER HOSE SOMEHOW FROM THE FACTORY. NOT ONLY DOES IT LEAK OUT THE TOP OF SPOUT BUT IT SPRAYS EVERYWHERE, ON CLOTHES AND ANYTHING NEARBY WITHIN 3 FEET. PROBABLY HALF A CUP OF GAS GIVE OR TAKE AT EVERY FUEL STOP IN MY ESTIMATION. *TR

WHILE PUMPING GAS AT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, THE PUMP FAILED TO SHUT OFF WHEN THE FUEL TANK BECAME FUEL. AS A RESULT OF THE PUMP NOT SHUTTING OFF, FUEL SPILLED OUT OF THE TANK AS IT BECAME OVERFILLED. I DID NOT LEAVE THE PUMP NOR DID I SET THE LOCK ON THE PUMP SO I WOULD NOT HAVE TO HOLD THE PUMP HANDLE DURING ANY OF THE TIMES I HAVE PUMPED GAS INTO THE VEHICLE TO AVOID SPILLING FUEL THE BEST I CAN. THIS HAPPENS AT MANY DIFFERENT STATIONS THAT I FILL MY FUEL TANK UP AT, THE ONLY COMMON DENOMINATOR IN MY SITUATION IS THE VEHICLE ITSELF. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY WAY THAT WOULD INTERFERE WITH NORMAL FUEL PUMPING PROCEDURE. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AND THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO FILL UP WITH GAS, I PUT THE NOZZLE IN THE FILLER OPENING AND SQUEEZED THE HANDLE ALL THE WAY. I LOCKED THE HANDLE SO THE GASOLINE WOULD CONTINUE TO FLOW AND LET GO OF THE NOZZLE. AROUND THE 16 GALLON MARK, GASOLINE SHOT OUT OF THE FILLER OPENING AND THEN POURED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. ENOUGH CAME OUT THAT IT CREATED A SMALL PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. GASOLINE GOT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND THE FENDER. IT ALSO SPRAYED MY HAND AS I WAS STANDING NEAR IT. I HAD TO WIPE DOWN THE FENDER AND SIDE OF JEEP BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO PAINT OR PLASTIC. I FOUND THIS SAME PROBLEM EACH AND EVERY TIME I'VE FILLED THE TANK SINCE THAT TIME. I'VE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND NOZZLES BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE IN MY OPINION AND FORCES ME TO BARELY TRICKLE THE GAS INTO THE TANK BY ONLY SQUEEZING THE HANDLE PART WAY. IF I DON'T DO THIS, I SPILL GAS ONTO THE GROUND AND THE SIDE OF MY JEEP WITH EACH FILL. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I'VE FOUND IT IS VERY COMMON IN MY MODEL YEAR AND THE YEARS SURROUNDING. WHY WON'T CHRYSLER JUST FIX THIS?! *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, FUEL SLOSHES OUT OF THE FILLER SPOUT JUST BEFORE THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. THE BACK-SPLASH VOLUME IS LARGE ENOUGH TO SPLASH ONTO CLOTHES, RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND LEAVE A SMALL PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE PAVEMENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, FUEL SPEWED BACK ONTO THE CONTACT. THE FAILURE RECURRED EVERY TIME THE CONTACT REFUELED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED AN INSPECTION AND ADVISED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO OFFERED TO COVER HALF OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000. UPDATED 10/10/12 *CN

AT AROUND 45MPH 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 COULD CAUSE ME TO BE REARENDED. ALSO A DRIVER COULD PANIC AND WRECK AS A RESULT. VEHICLE HAS NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATION. TIRES HAVE BEEN BALANCED AND VEHICLE HAS PROPER ALIGNMENT. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE PHENOMENON KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE". *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 A JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING OVER 50 MPH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ON MY JEEP SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED IN 2007. IT ONLY OCCURS WHEN I AM BETWEEN THE SPEED OF 45 AND 50 MPH. MY JEEP SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY I HAVE TO GRAB THE STEERING WHEEL TO HOLD IT STRAIGHT AND DECREASE MY SPEED DRAMATICALLY TO GET IT TO STOP. I'VE READ 1000'S OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE - I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD SEVERAL REPAIRS DONE. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPENER AND FRONT AXLE. I WAS TOLD THAT AFTER THAT WHEN IT STILL OCCURRED THAT I NEEDED DIFFERENT TIRES - SO I SPENT $600.00 ON NEW TIRES AND IT STILL HAPPENS. DOESN'T HAVE ALL THE TIME - BUT ENOUGH TO WHERE I FEEL UNSAFE. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO GET A NEW CAR RIGHT NOW BUT IF I COULD I WOULD!!! I CALLED JEEP AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO BE DONE AND AFTER THAT THEY WOULD HELP ME WITH SOME OF THE COSTS OF THE REPAIRS. THEY TOLD ME SOMEONE WOULD BE IN TOUCH WITHIN 24 HOURS TO SCHEDULE THE DIAGNOSTIC (WHICH I THINK I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SINCE I TOOK IT YEARS AGO AND ITS NEVER BEEN FIXED) BUT I'VE NEVER HEARD FROM ANYONE. JEEP NEEDS TO OPEN THEIR EYES-- WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY ACT ON THIS? AN ACCIDENT? HOPEFULLY THIS COMPLAINT CAN BE USED TO WARN OTHERS NOT TO BUY A JEEP PRODUCT. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK, FUEL SPILLS FROM THE FILLING PORT ALL OVER ONCE IT IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP AND HAS DONE SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2011. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH FUEL, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND DUMPS GASOLINE ONTO ME AND THE GROUND. THIS HAS A LONG TERM HEALTH EFFECT ON PERSONS FILLING THE VEHICLE. IT HAS AN IMMEDIATE EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT, AND I WILL BE NOTIFYING THE EPA OF THIS ISSUE AS WELL. I SEE FROM VARIOUS JEEP WEBSITES THAT THIS IS A LONG STANDING ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. *TR

EVERY TIME I REFUEL MY 2006 JEEP THE GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE UNTIL I REMOVE THE GAS PUMP MANUALLY. THIS IS A KNOWN JEEP ISSUE THAT REQUIRES A REPLACEMENT GAS TANK. OUR ENVIRONMENT AND MY BODY/CLOTHES SHOULD NOT GET COVERED IN GASOLINE EVERY TIME I REFUEL! PLEASE MAKE CHRYSLER FIX ALL JEEP MODELS WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

REGARDLESS OF HOW FUEL NOZZLE IS PLACED, FUEL TANK OVER FILLS APPROX 1/8TH-1/3TH GALLON OF FUEL. I FEAR THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE IN THE EVENT FUEL SPLASHED ONTO BRAKE ROTOR OR OTHER HOT COMPONENTS, NOT TO MENTION THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THIS ISSUE DIRECTLY RELATED TO POOR DESIGN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP WRANGLER ON A SMOOTH PAVEMENT @ 55MPH THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING. IT SEEMED AS IF BOTH FRONT WHEELS WERE LOOSE. I IMMEDIATELY BRAKED, PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY TO A COMPLETE STOP. UPON FINDING NOTHING LOOSE I PROCEEDED DOWN THE HIGHWAY, UPON REACHING 55MPH THE VEHICLE REPEATED THE SHAKING. I HAVE REPLACED THE TRACK BAR, STEERING DAMPENER, FRONT BRAKE ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, NEW TIRES, WHEELS CHECKED WITH CALIPERS,AND 2 ALIGNMENTS. I STILL CANNOT EXCEED 55MPH WITHOUT THE VIOLENT SHAKING. *TR

THE FRONT END WOBBLED SEVERELY AT 50 MILES PER HOUR CAUSING A LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR

ON FRIDAY, 07.27.12, WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE/WOBBLE WILDLY, AND I THOUGHT THAT I HAD A BLOWOUT IN THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. I PULLED OVER ON THE SHOULDER, BUT, TO MY SURPRISE, THE TIRE WAS FINE, AND I COULD SEE NO VISIBLE PROBLEMS. I PROCEEDED DOWN THE HIGHWAY, BUT, AFTER ABOUT A MILE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE/WOBBLE WILDLY AGAIN (ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY), TO THE POINT WHERE I LITERALLY THOUGHT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS FALLING OFF. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I DROVE SLOWLY ALONG THE SHOULDER, EXITED THE HIGHWAY AT THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY, AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER MAKING SURE THAT THE LUG-NUTS WERE TIGHT, I DROVE (VIA CITY STREETS, TO MINIMIZE SPEED) BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WHEEL BALANCING. THAT SAID, WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE'S RIGHT FRONT END STILL WOBBLES. IN THE INTERIM, I DID SOME GOOGLE'ING, AND I FOUND THAT NUMEROUS OTHER (?DEATH WOBBLE?) CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED NATIONWIDE (INCLUDING HUNDREDS TO THE NHTSA). CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED MULTIPLE TSBS, AND THERE IS A MAINTENANCE NOTICE ACKNOWLEDGING ?STEERING VIBRATION? (A MONUMENTAL EUPHEMISM; THE ISSUE GOES WAY BEYOND A SIMPLE VIBRATION) ON THE JEEP WEBSITE. IN SHORT, CHRYSLER IS WELL-AWARE OF THE EXISTENCE AND SEVERITY OF THIS PROBLEM. THE MATTER HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY A SAN FRANCISCO TV STATION (KGO-TV), AND EVEN TWO MEMBERS OF THE U.S. CONGRESS WHO SENT INQUIRIES/COMPLAINTS TO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING OVER A ROAD BUMP, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO STATED THAT THEY COULD INSTALL A DAMPENER TO LESSEN THE VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED BUT WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 43,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT FUEL BEGAN TO SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I WAS FILLING UP MY 06 JEEP WRANGLER AND I GOT SPRAYED WITH FUEL ON MY BODY, JEEP AND GROUND. THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL MY TANK UP TO FULL. IM CONCERNED THAT STATIC ELECTRICITY MIGHT IGNITE THIS, MYSELF OR ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. JEEP/ CHRYSLER REFUSES TO FIX THIS ON MY JEEP. THE SAME EXACT SAME THING WAS HAPPENING TO MY WIFE'S 07 CHRYSLER ASPEN AND IT WAS RECALLED AND FIXED. WE BOUGHT BOTH VEHICLES NEW AND THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN WRECKED. JEEP/ CHRYSLER ARE RISKING PEOPLES LIVES WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

EVERY JEEP OWNER I HAVE TALKED TO HAS A FILLING SPLASH-BACK PROBLEM WHEN FILLING THEIR GAS TANK. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON ALL THE JEEPS AND OTHER MODELS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM.. GET GOING ON THIS IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. ALL JEEPS,,,,, CAN YOU READ ? ALL ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM... BIG SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE. NOT ONE PLACE BUT HERE DID I FIND TO LIST THE PROBLEM AS A SAFETY ISSUE. TOO MANY SITTING ON THEIR BACKSIDES AND DOING NOTHING ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE. READ BETWEEN THE LINES AND GET GOING. A VERY DISGRUNTLED TAX PAYER AND OWNER OF A FAULTY PRODUCT THAT IS UN-SAFE AND UN-HEALTHY WITH NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT. GET MY DRIFT?..... *TR

EXPERIENCE DANGEROUS FRONT WHEEL WOBBLE WHEN MINOR PAVEMENT BUMPS OR DEFORMATIONS ARE HIT AT BETWEEN 40-45MPH. WAS FIXED ONCE SEVERAL YEARS AGO AT OWNER EXPENSE BY DEALER (REPLACE FRONT DAMPENER). NOW IS SHOWING EARLY SIGNS OF THE DEFICIENCY RETURNING AT LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. TIRES ARE VERY WELL MAINTENANCED AND ARE ROTATED / BALANCED PER TIRE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDATION (COMPLETE RECEIPTS AVAILABLE). VEHICLE HAS VERY LOW (ALMOST NON-EXISTENT) OFF-ROAD USE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND HAVE A COMPLETELY DOCUMENTED HISTORY. I ALSO HAVE OVER 34 YEARS DRIVING EXPERIENCE. THE FRONT DAMPENER SHOULD NOT REQUIRE REPLACEMENT EVERY 20-25K MILES AT AROUND $450 / PER OCCURRENCE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A REGULARLY RECURRING PROBLEM OVER SEVERAL YEARS WITH ALMOST ALL WRANGLERS. IF THIS DOESN'T WARRANT A RECALL, WHAT EXACTLY DOES???? COME ON NOW.... *TR

WHILE DRIVING AROUND 35 MILES PER HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. THIS SHAKING BEGAN TO INCREASE OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT 10 SECONDS. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AT THIS POINT, REQUIRING THAT I SLOW DOWN IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. THIS SHAKING CONTINUED TO OCCUR WHENEVER I ACCELERATED ABOUT 35 MPH ON A RANDOM BASIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 40-45 MPH WHEN THE FRONT END STARTED TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE FRONT END STABILIZER BAR NEEDED TO REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND A LOUD NOISE EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AND EVENTUALLY THE NOISE STOPPED HOWEVER, A FEW MOMENTS LATER THE NOISE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INSPECTED UNDER THE HOOD AREA. THE CONTACT WAS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND DETECTED THAT THE OIL PUMP DRIVE ASSEMBLY WAS FAULTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,681.

TL* THE CONTACT OWN A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, HE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING ROUGH. THE CONTACT THEN DROVE INTO HIS DRIVEWAY AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE GEAR PUMP CRACKED AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. THEY STATED THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD COVER A PORTION OF THE REPAIR COSTS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 39,000.

WHEN MY 06 JEEP WRANGLER HITS A ROAD BUMP AT APPROX 50 MPH AT TIMES VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURS AND LAST UNTIL I SLOW TO ABOUT 30MPH. THE JEEP IS NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY WRANGLER, IT BURPS OUT FUEL. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED OF FLOW THE GAS( I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WHEN SLOWLY FILLING UP AS WELL AS WHEN THE PUMP IS ENGAGED AND "LOCKED" ON TOO. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT FUEL SPILLS EVERY TIME I HAVE TO GET SOME. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK, FUEL IS EJECTED FROM THE FILLER HOSE AND GOES ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND THE GROUND AND USUALLY MYSELF. THE AUTO-SHUT OFF WORKS ON THE PUMPS BUT FUEL STILL COMES OUT. I'VE TRIED USING "HALF THROTTLE" ON THE PUMP BUT STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I'VE LOOKED THROUGH MANY JEEP FORUMS AND IT APPEARS THERE IS A FAIRLY LARGE RANGE OF WRANGLERS THROUGHOUT DIFFERENT MODEL YEARS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE. HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN A RECALL? THIS CAN'T BE SAFE TO HAVE FUEL SHOOTING OUT EVERY TIME YOU FILL UP. *TR

WHEN MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER HITS A BUMP OR AN IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD WHILE TRAVELLING AT 45MPH AND ABOVE, THE JEEP WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE SO SEVERELY THAT A CRASH SEEMS INEVITABLE UNLESS I SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAN I CAN COUNT AND CONTINUES TO BE A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

GAS SPILL OUT WHEN FUELING TO NOW WILL NOT TAKE GAS AT ALL WITHOUT MAJOR SPILLAGE. *TR
