2006 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY FUEL TANK, 1/2 A SECOND AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, A SIGNIFICANT OF FUEL COMES RUSHING OUT ON TO THE GROUND.

EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AT 55 MPH. SLOWING DOWN OR SPEEDING UP WILL CAUSE IT TO GO AWAY.HAPPENS ABOUT 33% OF THE TIME WHILE ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING.

DEATH WOBBLE- BRAKING AT 55MPH, HITTING BUMP AT 55 + MPH. ON GOING. DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS WAS ADDRESSED FOR 2015-2016 BUT THE COMPONENTS IN MY JEEP ARE THE SAME AS NEWER JEEPS AND IS A DANGER FOR OLDER JEEPS.

THEN, DURING THE FIRST ROLL, THE DRIVER WAS EJECTED DUE TO A FAULTY SEAT BELT LATCH WHICH RESULTED IN VERY SERIOUS CRITICAL INJURIES INCLUDING A BROKEN BACK. IF THESE SAFETY FEATURES WOULD HAVE WORKED, THE DRIVER WOULD NOT BE IN THE SITUATION THAT SHE IS IN AND SUFFERING THROUGH LOTS OF PAIN AND LIFE CHANGING INJURIES.

HELLO, I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A LEAKING DOOR SEAL ON MY 2006 WRANGLER. THE SEAL HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES, BUT CONTINUES TO LEAK. WHEN IT RAINS, WATER COLLECTS ON THE FLOOR CREATING A WET AND SLIPPERY CONDITION THAT MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, AS THE HEEL SLIPS WHILE OPERATING THE PEDALS. FURTHERMORE, THE WATER LEAK CAUSES A MOLD CONDITION THAT IS HARMFUL TO HEALTH. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN DO. THANK YOU.

WHEN FILLING THE WRANGLER WITH FUEL, THE TANK CONSISTENTLY AND REGULARLY OVERFILLS AND SPITS FUEL OUT OF THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK TOWARDS THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE, THE PERSON FILLING THE WRANGLER, THE EXTERIOR OF THE WRANGLER, AND ONTO THE FLOOR NEXT TO THE WRANGLER. THERE IS A TSB FOR REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE, BUT MY YEAR IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY COVERED BY THAT TSB. PLEASE HELP.

I'VE BEEN BATTLING BAD SHIFTING PROBLEMS AND SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. AFTER REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION, LOTS OF DIAGNOSTIC FEES, AND NOW A PCM MODULE. I'VE LEARNED AFTER 8 MONTHS, THAT CHRYSLER CAN'T SEEM TO SOLVE THE PCM PROBLEM AND LEFT THE AFTERMARKET TO RESOLVE IT. I LUCKILY FOUND A COMPANY WHO CAN RESOLVE IT. TRIBAL KNOWLEDGE IS THAT CHRYSLER COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT AND SOME PARTS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
