2006 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

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

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
