2006 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

EVERY TIME I FUEL UP UNLESS I LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY TO THE CHANGE IN THE SOUND OF THE GASOLINE FROM THE PUMP INTO THE TANK THE FUEL FILLER FAILS TO AUTOMATICALLY CUT OFF WITHOUT OVERFLOWING. EVERY WRANGLE UNLIMITED OWNER I HAVE ASKED EXPERIENCES THE SAME PROBLEM, YET CHRYSLER FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. I AM PERSONALLY UNAWARE OF ANY FIRES RESULTING FROM THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE POTENTIAL DEFINITELY EXISTS. *JS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROUTE SMOKE START COMING OUT FROM AIR / HEAT VENTS. I STOPPED THE CAR, GOT OUT OF OPENED FROND HOOD, BUT WAS NOTHING THERE. WALKED TO PASSENGER DOOR AND SAW FIRE WHERE PASSENGER KEEPS LEGS. GOT MY PAPERWORK FROM THE CAR AND BY THE TIME I RUN AWAY FROM THE CAR THE WHOLE THING WAS BALL OF FIRE. *JS

MY JEEP EXPERIENCES WHAT'S KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." IT HAS HAPPENED FOR YEARS, BUT I HAD ALWAYS BEEN TOLD THAT MY TIRES WERE OUT OF BALANCE, OR THAT I NEEDED A FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THOSE FIXES WOULD HELP FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, AND THEN THE SHAKE WOULD RETURN. JUST IN THE LAST 6-8 MONTHS DID A MECHANIC ACTUALLY TELL ME ABOUT THE WOBBLE, WHAT REALLY SEEMS TO CAUSE IT, AND THAT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEPS. MY JEEP IS STOCK, WITH NO MODIFICATIONS, BUT I STILL GET THE WOBBLE. IT OCCURRED 3 TIMES THIS MORNING ON THE 5 FREEWAY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, EACH TIME AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55-68 MILES PER HOUR. THE FRONT END OF THE JEEP SHAKES VIOLENTLY, AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING IS TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. LUCKILY, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. A FEW MONTHS AGO IT HAPPENED, AND A CO-WORKER WAS FOLLOWING ME IN A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. HE SAID MY FRONT TIRES WERE ACTUALLY SMOKING BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE TIRES MOVED ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH SEVERE FRONT-END INSTABILITY (SHIMMY AND SHAKING) WHEN THE VEHICLE TRAVELS APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES PER HOUR. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE, I SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON FRONT-END WORK, TIRE BALANCE, AND TIRE ROTATION WORK, IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, DESPITE A SLIGHT INITIAL REDUCTION IN THE PROBLEM, THE SHIMMY AND SHAKING RETURNED SOON AFTER THE WORK I HAD DONE, AND HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THIS ISSUE IS SO COMMON THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN ONLINE JEEP COMMUNITIES HAVE NAMED THE CONDITION, "DEATH WOBBLE.," SINCE THE ISSUE CAN RENDER A VEHICLE VIRTUALLY UNDRIVABLE. I FEAR FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY, AND FOR THAT OF MY WIFE AND YOUNG CHILDREN WHEN WE TRAVEL IN THIS VEHICLE. MY REQUEST IS THAT CHRYSLER STOP DENYING THAT THERE IS A DANGEROUS, POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING CONDITION INVOLVING MULTIPLE JEEP PRODUCTION YEAR MODELS. I REQUEST THAT A SOLUTION BE ENGINEERED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE IN THE INTEREST OF MY FAMILY' SAFETY, AND THE SAFETY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DAMPER WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

FUEL PUMP WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL RESULTING IN GASOLINE SPILLED ON THE VEHICLE AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. *TR

AT 50MPH. THE FRONT END SHAKES HARD TO CONTROL CAN NOT STEER HAVE TO STOP. *TR

OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS YET YOU GUYS ARE IGNORING THEM. YOU FILL UP WITH GAS AND AT TOP OFF IT SPITS GAS OUT THAT GETS ALL OVER THE PERSON FILLING CLOTHES. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT YOU NEED TO GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE RECENTLY AND FILLED UP 5 TIMES AND THIS OCCURRED EVERYTIME. FIX IT! *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP USED. I WAS FILLING IT UP AT THE GAS STATION WAITING FOR THE PUMP TO CLICK OFF. WELL, IT DIDN'T. THE GAS SPEWED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FAULTY PUMP. THE SECOND TIME I FILLED IT UP, IT DID IT AGAIN, AT A DIFFERENT STATION. THIS TIME I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID. IT DID IT AGAIN TONIGHT AT A THIRD STATION. I LOOKED UP THE CONDITION ON THE INTERNET AND LOW AND BEHOLD, IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY MODEL YEAR. THIS VEHICLE IS A 2006. WE ARE NOW IN 2014. 8 YEARS AFTER PRODUCTION OF THIS VEHICLE. WHY HASN'T THE MANUFACTURE RECALLED THESE VEHICLES FOR A FIX. SURELY THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. GAS SPEWING OUT OF THE TANK????? COME ON! *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE PUMP CUTS OFF TO LATE AND CREATES SPLASH BACK AND POURS GASOLINE ON THE GROUND AND ALL OVER WHOEVER IS NEAR BY. *TR
