2006 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

WHEN I FILL UP WITH FUEL AFTER PUMP SHUTS OFF FUEL GUSHES OUT ON SIDE OF JEEP AND ONTO GROUND. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT BURNED THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL WIRES, THE HEATING CONTROLS, AND OTHER COMPONENTS. THE CONTACT OPENED THE PANELING AND NOTICED THAT THE WIRES AND VARIOUS COMPONENTS WERE MELTED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE GROUND WIRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND FURTHER INSPECTION WAS REQUIRED TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

FOR AT LEAST THE THIRD TIME, WHILE OFF ROAD JEEPING IN 4 WHEEL LOW, OUR JEEP 2006 LJ RUBICON SELF ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. ONCE AGAIN, WE ROARED INTO A TREE BEFORE WE COULD PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL OR REMOVE THE KEY. (LINK TO VIDEO:) HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/VIDEO.PHP?V=10204011339395600&SET=O.261401957266994&TYPE=2&THEATER AFTER WE BOUGHT THE JEEP IN 2009, THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOLD US THAT HE HAD EXPERIENCED SOME SELF ACCELERATION. HE HAD IT INVESTIGATED BY THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP, THEN TOOK IT TO ANOTHER JEEP MECHANIC AND CONTACTED CHRYSLER, WHO DENIED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. WE PARTICIPATE IN JEEP JAMBOREES AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE TRIED TO ADDRESS IT AFTER RECEIVING ADVICE FROM VARIOUS GUIDES AND MECHANICS AT THE JAMBOREES. WE HAVE HAD TWO JEEP MECHANICS ATTEMPT SOLUTIONS AND WE HAVE EVEN REPLACED THE COMPUTER BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. ONCE AGAIN, WE ROARED INTO A TREE. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED RHD 2006 WRANGLER SPORT IN NOV. 2013 FOR $18,500.00.........AND YOU GUYS WILL NOT FIX THE GAS TANK THAT BLOWS GAS OUT WHILE YOU ARE FILLING IT, I LOSE AT LEAST A HALF A GALLON OF GAS EACH TIME I FILL IT UP, AND IT LEAVES A HUGE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND AND ONE TIME SOMEONE IS GOING TO THROW A LIT CIGARETTE IN IT OR IGNITE IT IS SOME WAY AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET HURT........... I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO UPSET OVER THIS, AND THE REASON YOU WON'T FIX IT IS BECAUSE IT IS A RHD FLEET VEHICLE.......IT IS MY REGULAR CAR, AND I DRIVE IT EVERYWHERE, AND IF ANYTHING HAPPENS I WILL SUE YOU UNTIL THERE IS NO TOMORROW. *TR

SEVERE FUEL SPIT BACK WHEN FILLING UP MY JEEP WRANGLER. GAS SPILLED ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND GROUND! *TR

DRIVING DOWN A CITY ROAD AND 45-50 MILES THE JEEP SHOOK SO HARD HAD TO PULL OVER. WE TOWED IT TO BROOKINGS OR AND HAD THE FRONT END ALIGNED 00 . IN THE FALL WE TRAVELED TO OKLAHOMA AND WE WERE DRIVING JEEP ON A FREEWAY AND @ ABOUT 55 IT STARTED THAT SHIMMY AGAIN, SO WE BROUGHT NEW TIRES FOR IT. WE JUST TOOK IT BACK TO TIRE SHOP 2 WEEKS AGO FOR ANOTHER ALIGNMENT 00, SERVICE GUY TOLD US WE SHOULD CHECK WITH ANY RECALLS ON OUR JEEP. NEVER COULD GET RID OF THE SHIMMY! WOULD BE HAPPY FOR A FIX. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 31 DECEMBER 2011. THE FOLLOWING MONTH I EXPERIENCED A SEVERE STEERING SHIMMY TRAVELING BETWEEN 55 AND 60 MPH. EITHER INCREASING OR DECREASING SPEED ENDS THE SEVERE WOBBLE OF THE FRONT WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL. IF I AM NOT ABLE TO INCREASE OR DECREASE SPEED THE WOBBLE WOULD CONTINUE. DURING THE WOBBLE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND TO STEERING COMMANDS AND IS THEREFORE VERY DANGEROUS. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR MANY TIMES AT THE ABOVE SPEED AND CAN BE RECREATED ON A REGULAR BASIS. I HAVE ACQUIRED THE JEEP TSB, BUT IT DOES NOT PROVIDE THE REPAIR PROCESS INFORMATION. IN SPEAKING WITH OTHER OWNERS THE "SO CALLED" FIX IS TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPENER. NO OWNER, ONLINE OR IN PERSON, HAS REPORTED THIS TO STOP THE PROBLEM FROM OCCURRING. PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPORT WHAT CAN BE DONE TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. I LIKE THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT BUT, IN THIS CONDITION I AM HESITANT TO HAVE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I ALSO DO NOT WISH TO PASS THE PROBLEM TO THE NEXT OWNER. *TR

GASOLINE OVERFLOWS WHILE REFUELING. PUMP DOESN'T SHUT OFF. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2005 & 2006 JEEP WRANGLER TJ AND LJ (UNLIMITED). *TR

CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE WHEN I HIT A POTHOLE ON THE FREEWAY GOING 65MPH. SEAT BELT PINNED ME TO SEAT SO I COULDN'T SAFELY TURN AROUND TO CHANGE LANES TO GET OFF FREEWAY. IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE AND VERY DANGEROUS. THIS PROBLEM IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. IT WAS TAKEN THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED. THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER, BUT 5 WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR I HAVE ONLY OWNED FOR 7 MONTHS. *TR

SINCE MY PURCHASE OF MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER, AT THE SPEED BETWEEN 50 TO 60 MPH, THE FRONT BEGINS TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I CANNOT CONTROL THE AUTO - I CANNOT STEAR IT, I CANNOT STOP THE SHAKING. IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. WHY ARE YOU FOLKS ALLOWED TO SELL THIS PRODUCT TO THE PUBLIC? THIS NEEDS TO BE RECOGNISED BY THE MANUFACTURING / DESIGNERING CONCERNS AT JEEP. GENTLEMEN... PLEASE BE MEN AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAULTY PRODUCT. YOU ARE PUTTING THE CONSUMER AND OTHERS TRAVELING ON THE ROADWAYS IN LIFE AND DEATH DANGER. THIS IS AMERICA!!!! NOTHING MORE NEEDS TO BE SAID. YOU ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, NOW... TAKE CARE OF IT. *TR
