2006 JEEP WRANGLER THAT HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH OVERFLOWING FUEL WHILE FILLING IT UP SINCE ACQUIRED AT 7,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY PROBLEM AS WELL AS A NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.

TRAVELING AT 55 MPH HIT A SLIGHT BUMP ON THE ROAD AND THE FRONT END STARTED WOBBLE FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SIDE TO SIDE VERY QUICKLY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS TO STOP WAS TO SLOW DOWN TO A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH.

I AM DRIVING AT 20 MPH ON A CURVE ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE WHOLE ENTIRE SHAKES, ROCKS, MOVES UNCONTROLLABLY TO ALL DIRECTION. I CAN BE DRIVING IN CITY LIMITS AT 25 MPH AND IT WILL DO ALL THE SAME THINGS SHAKES, ROCKS, MOVES UNCONTROLLABLY TO ALL DIRECTIONS. IT OCCURS MORE THAN 10 TIMES A MONTH. I TOOK MY JEEP WRANGLER TO THE JEEP AGENCY AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE BREAKS SO I TOLD THEM OK FIX IT. THEY CALLED ME TO PICK UP MY CAR THAT IT WAS READY. SO I DRIVE ON TO GET ON THE EXPRESSWAY AS SOON AS I GET TO 25MPH THE CAR SHOWS THE SAME PROBLEM. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUNDED MY MONEY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER THAT ISN'T JEEP. I TOLD THEM THAT THEY WERE THE JEEP EXPERTS WHAT WOULD OTHER AGENCIES KNOW ABOUT JEEP. THEN I SPOKE TO DAIMLER AND THEY SAID TO TRY TO REPLACE MY TIRES AND I DID AND THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. I HAVE ALL MY PAPER WORK. *TT

EVERYTHING I FILL UP MY 2006 WRANGLER WITH GAS, IT OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ALL OVER THE JEEP AND SOMETIMES ON ME. *TR

ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT, THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS FUEL EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE TO REFILL THE TANK. THE TANK APPARENTLY DOES NOT VENT PROPERLY, WHICH CAUSES THE AUTO-SHUT-OFF FEATURE ON GAS PUMPS TO FAIL UNTIL THE TANK OVERFLOWS, SPITTING GASOLINE OUT (OVER A FOOT FROM THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AT TIMES), HITTING THE INDIVIDUAL FILLING UP THE TANK AND MAKING A MESS OF THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS FUEL OVERFLOW ISSUE OCCURS 100% OF THE TIME. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY THIS, BUT THAT IT IS A "COMMON" PROBLEM AMONG 1997-PRESENT WRANGLERS. CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2007-LATER WRANGLER, BUT REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 2006 AND OLDER MODELS. REVIEWING BOTH LOCAL AND NATIONAL JEEP INTERNET FORUMS, I HAVE SEEN FORUM THREADS ON THIS TOPIC WITH LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF 1997-2006 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS CLAIMING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I AM HAVING WITH MY 2006 WRANGLER. THE COST TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, THE ONLY SOLUTION, IS AT A COST OF $1100-$1200. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. TO DATE, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE, AS ASKED BELOW, BUT THAT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME! *TR

ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED, THE GAS TANK "PUKES" FUEL EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE TO REFILL THE TANK. THE TANK APPARENTLY DOES NOT VENT PROPERLY, WHICH CAUSES THE AUTO-SHUT-OFF FEATURE ON GAS PUMPS TO FAIL UNTIL THE TANK OVERFLOWS, SPITTING GASOLINE OUT (OVER A FOOT FROM THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AT TIMES), HITTING THE INDIVIDUAL FILLING UP THE TANK AND MAKING A MESS OF THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS FUEL "PUKING" ISSUE OCCURS 100% OF THE TIME. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY THIS, BUT THAT IT IS A "COMMON" PROBLEM AMONG 1997-PRESENT WRANGLERS. CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2007-LATER WRANGLERS, BUT REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 2006 AND OLDER MODELS. AS A MEMBER OF BOTH LOCAL AND NATIONAL JEEP INTERNET FORUMS, I HAVE SEEN FORUM THREADS ON THIS TOPIC WITH LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF 1997-2006 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS CLAIMING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I AM HAVING WITH MY 2006 WRANGLER. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 37,000 MILES. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY JEEP THE FUEL WILL NOT STOP FLOW WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. INSTEAD GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER EVERY TIME I REFUEL, RESULTING IN A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF FUEL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFUEL AND OCCURS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. AFTER READING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE ON THE INTERNET SUGGESTING THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP ITSELF, I WANTED TO REPORT THIS EVENT. *TT

I HAD A SET OF BF GOODRICH MUD TERRAIN TIRES 33" ON A 06 WRANGLER. THE TIRES WERE ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD BUT HAD BARELY BEEN USED, APPROXIMATELY 80% OF THE TREAD WAS LEFT. I SWAPPED THESE TIRES FROM A 73 CJ5 THAT I JUST WASN'T USING THAT MUCH ANYMORE. AFTER AROUND 4000-5000 MILES AFTER THE SWITCH THE TIRE POPPED ON ME GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOING 75-80 MPH. THE VEHICLE SHOOK FOR 2-3 SECONDS THEN I HEARD A "POP", INSTANTLY THIS THREW MY VEHICLE WHERE IT FLIPPED AND ROLLED AND TOTALED THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO BE AIRLIFTED AWAY AS A RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT. INVESTIGATORS FROM JEEP AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY BOTH CONCLUDED THAT THIS WAS A PRODUCT DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. WHILE TAKING UP THE ISSUE WITH BF GOODRICH THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE TIRE IN TO BE INSPECTED. THE TIRE STORE STATED AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS OF LOOKING AT THE TIRE THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A ROAD HAZARD. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AT ALL DURING THIS 4 HOUR TRIP THAT I WAS JUST ON AND THE TIRE WAS INFLATED AT 35 PSI. BF GOODRICH DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE ACCIDENT OR MY INJURIES. THEY DID OFFER ME 30% OFF A NEW TIRE. TOO BAD I DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE TO PUT A TIRE ON ANYMORE. I CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE TRIP FROM SAN DIEGO TO PHOENIX. I ALSO FILLED UP WITH GAS AND WALKED AROUND THE JEEP, TO WASH THE WINDOWS, AND DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES. THE ROAD THAT I WAS TRAVELING ON WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND FREE FROM OBJECTS. I DID NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING. I DO HAVE CUSTODY OF THE BAD TIRE STILL ON

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,756.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS, SPILLING GAS DOWN MY JEEP BEFORE AUTOMATICALLY SHUTTING OFF THE GAS COMING OUT OF THE HOSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. MANY OTHER JEEP FRIENDS HAVE VOICED THE SAME PROBLEM.

EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK ON MY JEEP, IT DUMPS FUEL WHEN IT IS FULL. USUALLY SPRAYING ALL OVER ME AND THE SIDE OF THE JEEP.

I OWN A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. MANY TIMES WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK THE FUEL DOES NOT SHUT OFF AND SPILLS FUEL ON THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. *TR

EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK, GAS POURS OUT ON ME. *TR

WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, STRIKING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROADWAY CAUSES SEVERE FRONT END OSCILLATION FROM THE AXEL. THE VIBRATION IS SO VIOLENT, IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO FEEL AS THOUGH IT WILL COME APART. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE VIBRATIONS IS TO ABRUPTLY REDUCE SPEEDS TO A STOP. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SPITS GASOLINE OUT AT ME WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE! IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN NEARING FULL, NO MATTER WHAT I DO TO TRY TO AVOID IT FROM HAPPENING. SOMETIMES IT SPITS FORCEFULLY, HARD ENOUGH TO GET GASOLINE ON ME, SOMETIMES IT'S JUST A MINOR SPIT THAT JUST DRIBBLES DOWN THE VEHICLE. EITHER WAY, IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO FILL THE TANK TO FULL. I HAVE RESORTED TO ONLY PUTTING 10 GALLONS OF GASOLINE IN AT A TIME, AND ONLY IF THE FUEL GAUGE READS BELOW 1/4, TO ENSURE I DON'T HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THE GASOLINE SPIT-BACK. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR REPAIRED YET. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SPEWS GAS OUT WHEN I'M FILLING THE TANK. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN IT. IT COMES OUT IN A GUSH, SPLASHING ALL OVER ME AND THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PARTS REPAIRED OR REPAIRED YET. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY JEEP WRANGLER IT OVERFLOWS BEFORE THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, SO I DO THINK IT'S A PARTICULAR PUMP OR STATION. *TR

EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL THE GAS TANK UP TO FULL, THE FUEL WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. ALSO, WHEN I PUMP GAS, THE FUEL WILL OFTEN BACKFLOW INTO THE PUMP, CAUSING IT TO SHUT OFF PREMATURELY (ABOUT EVERY 10 SECONDS, REGARDLESS OF AMOUNT OF GAS IN TANK). THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM EVER SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. MY ONLY CHOICE IS TO NEVER FILL MY GAS TANK ALL THE WAY, AND PUMP THE GAS SLOWLY. *TR

THE DW'S, A DEFECT JEEP REFUSES TO ADDRESS. TELL ME WHERE JEEP HAS PUBLICLY ADDRESSED THIS WIDE AND WELL KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THEIR CONSUMERS. ENOUGH WITH THE BAND-AIDS!! BECAUSE I DID NOT BRING MY JEEP IN FOR A 30,000 ML CHECK UP (EVENTHOUGH I WAS ONLY AT 28,000) MY DEALER TOLD ME MY WARRANTY WOULD BE NULL AND VOID. ALTHOUGH, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE ENGINE HAD TO DO WITH THE STEERING, I WAS UNABLE TO GET HIM TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM ANY FURTHER. "ROTATE YOUR TIRES FOR YOU, THAT'S ALL I CAN DO" WAS WHAT I WAS TOLD. SO, AFTER THROWING MONEY AT MY JEEP TO TRY AND FIX IT THIS WAY OR THAT WAY (BTW MY JEEP IS ENTIRELY STOCK) THE ONLY THING I'VE FOUND TO RID THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE MY TIRES EVERY 25,000 ML OR SO AND ROTATE EVERY 5,000 ML. SO, IF YOU DON'T MIND BUYING NEW TIRES EVERY TWO YEARS OR SO, PROBLEM SOLVED. IF THIS A PROBLEM JEEP IS TELLING YOU THAT YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH SUCK IT!

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 TO 50 MPH HE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A VIOLENT SHAKE IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE SHAKING BECAME SO EXCESSIVE THAT IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO MOVE INTO THE NEXT LANE DUE TO THE DRIVER NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL IT. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO ADVISED HIM THAT THE SHAKING MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TIRE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE TIRES AND PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT. WITHIN 10,000 MILES OF HAVING THE ALIGNMENT DONE AND THE TIRES CHANGED THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

SUMMARY:EACH TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED, GASOLINE GUSHES OUT THE FILL SPOUT ON TO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND OR PAVEMENT. THIS CAN NOT BE AVOIDED IF COMPLETELY FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL. FUEL TANK CAN ONLY PARTIALLY BE FILLED. THIS PROBLEM POSES AN EXTREME FIRE DANGER TO ANY PERSON FILLING THE FUEL TANK. SURE HOPE THAT SOMEONE DON'T DIE IN ORDER FOR SOMETHING TO ACTUALLY GET DONE! *TR

I HAVE PURCHASED A USED 2006 JEEP WRANGLER FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AROUND TWO YEARS AGO, AND WITHIN THE PAST YEAR I HAVE NOTICED GAS GUSHES OUT OF MY FUEL TANK EVERY TIME I GET FUEL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS ATTENDANT, AS IT IS ILLEGAL IN NJ TO PUMP YOUR OWN FUEL, HOWEVER THIS IS NOW OCCURRING EVERYTIME. I AM WORRIED MY PAINT WILL BECOME RUINED OR MY CAR MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE IF IT IS TOO HOT. I ALSO DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO PUMP MY OWN GAS AND I DON'T NEED THIS PROBLEM TO CAUSE MORE ISSUES DOWN THE ROAD SINCE THE SPILLED GAS HAS ALREADY DISCOLORED MY STOCK FENDER FLARE. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND ONCE THE GAS SPILLS OVER MAKING EVERYTHING ON THE INSIDE REEK OF FUMES. *TR

EACH TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED, GASOLINE GUSHES OUT THE FILL SPOUT ON TO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND OR PAVEMENT. THIS CAN NOT BE AVOIDED IF COMPLETELY FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL. FUEL TANK CAN ONLY PARTIALLY BE FILLED. THIS PROBLEM POSES AN EXTREME FIRE DANGER TO ANY PERSON FILLING THE FUEL TANK.

WHEN REFUELING MY 2006 WRANGLER JEEP GAS SURGES OUT OF THE TANK PRIOR TO THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF. I HAVE NOT MEASURED THE AMOUNT SPILLED BUT IT IS ENOUGH TO CREATE APPROXIMATELY A 24-36" DIAMETER WET SPOT ON THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL MY VEHICLE NO MATTER WHICH FILLING STATION I USE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD CONSIDERING IT SPLASHES ON MY ARM AND CLOTHING IF I AM HOLDING ONTO THE PUMP HANDLE OR STANDING WITHIN ARMS REACH OF THE NOZZLE AND THE SPILLED FUEL IS BECOMING A GROUND OR WATER CONTAMINATE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AS IT IS SOAKED UP OR WASHES AWAY.

WHEN FUELING THE THE TANK BURPS FUEL OUT THE VEHICLE FILL TUBE AFTER THE FILL NOZZLE HAS SHUT OFF. THIS OCCURS OFTEN. AT FIRST OCCURRENCE I ASSUMED THAT THE FLOW INTO THE TANK WAS TOO FAST, AND BEGAN SLOW FILLING TO PREVENT IT THIS INITIALLY HAS SOME SUCCESS, AS IT DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE, AND NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME EVEN WHEN FILLING SLOW.

JUST PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT. ALL STOCK. WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, ONCE THE FUEL IS ALMOST FULL OR TO THE POINT OF FULL, THE FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE FUEL INLET. ALSO, IT DOES NOT TRIP THE FUEL SHUT OFF ON THE DISPENSER QUICK ENOUGH. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. EVERYTIME I FUEL MY VEHICLE AT THE PUMP, FUEL WILL SPEW OUT BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT AND BLAMED IT ON ME BASICALLY. I STARTED PUTTING THE FUEL IN SLOWER AND IT WORKS MOST OF THE TIME BUT SOMETIMES I STILL WILL HAVE FUEL SPEW OUT BEFORE THE PUMP CLICKS OFF, NO MATTER HOW SLOW I TRY. SEARCHING ONLINE FORUMS, I HAVE FOUND OUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, ON THE CONTRARY THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM, BETWEEN 97-06 TJ JEEP WRANGLER MODELS. *TR

GASOLINE SPILL EACH TIME FUEL TANK IS FILLED. AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE TANK REACHES FULL AND SHUTS OFF THE GAS FLOW AT THE NOZZLE A LARGE VOLUME OF GASOLINE RUSHES OUT OF THE FILLER NECK OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE PAVEMENT. POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND QUITE PREVALENT IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE. *TR
