2006 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TRAC BAR HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER 74K. ALONG WITH THE REPLACEMENT, STEERING STABILIZER AND ALIGNMENT WAS REQUIRED. THIS WAS A COSTLY REPAIR. NOW, 20K LATER, TRAC BAR IS AGAIN NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, THIS ISSUE IS EXPERIENCED BY A HUGE AMOUNT OF WRANGLER OWNERS, BUT CHRYSLER HAS NEVER ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. I LOVE MY JEEP, BUT AM UNSURE IF I WOULD BUY ANOTHER. THIS FLAW CREATES A HUGE HAZARD. THE ENTIRE FRONT END SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND ESSENTIALLY BECOMES VERY HARD TO CONTROL. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK, THE FUEL SPITS OUT UPON A FULL TANK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT ANY GAS STATION. *TR

OPDA(DISTRIBUTOR) APPEARS TO HAVE CREATED EXCESSIVE HEAT AT THE DRIVE GEAR FROM THE CAMSHAFT AND CAUSED A FAILURE OF A CAMSHAFT LIFTER OR FOLLOWER WHICH WORE DOWN THE CAMSHAFT AND RAN METAL SHAVINGS OR CHIPS THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE WITH THE OIL AND CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE. THE OIL LEVEL WAS FULL PRIOR TO DRAINING IT TO SEE HOW MUCH METAL IT CONTAINED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN A ROAD BUMP WAS DRIVEN OVER OR WHEN THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD WOBBLE ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT END STABILIZER AND SHOCKS, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

2006 JEEP WRANGLER. NOT LIFTED. SEVERE "DEATH WOBBLE" BETWEEN APPROX. 40-50 MPH. THIS ISSUE IS PREVALENT AND DANGEROUS ENOUGH TO WARRANT RECALL. JEEP SHOULD FIX THIS DESIGN ISSUE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE LOSS OF LIFE OCCURS. THE NHTSA MUST FORCE THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY, AS JEEP HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE DESIGN FLAW SINCE APPROXIMATELY 1997. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED/RESOLVED? *TR

SPEWED GAS ALL OVER BARE LEGS WITH HAND ON THE NOZZLE, THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN. IT ALSO AIR LOCKS /STOPS PUMPING EVEN AT LOW SPEED HAVE TO PULL THE FILLER AND REINSERT TO GET IT TO FILL... THEN CLOSE TO THE TOP BUT NOT ALL THE WAY IT PUKES GAS ALL OVER BODY HAVE TO STAND OFF TO THE BACK OF JEEP WITH HAND HOLDING HANDLE EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL UP HAVE NEVER HAD THE GAS GAUGE SHOW ALL THE WAY FULL. I BOUGHT THE JEEP USED LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE READ OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS YEAR IS THERE A RECALL??? *TR

THE GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK WHEN FILLING. THE STOP DOESN'T COME ON AT THE RIGHT TIME. *KB

EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK WITH GASOLINE, IT SPEWS OUT AND RUNS OUT ON THE GROUND AND DOWN THE VEHICLE SIDE. THIS DID NOT OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, IT STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TWO YEARS OLD. IT DOES, HOWEVER, HAPPEN EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK, NOW. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS NOT ONLY A FIRE HAZARD, BUT A BIG ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS JUST STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE WHERE THE GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILL NECK BEFORE THE PUMP HANDLE CLICKS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED THE LAST 3 TIMES I HAVE FILLED UP. THIS IS AT A STATION WHERE I HAVE FILLED UP MANY TIMES WITHOUT INCIDENT. NOT ONLY DOES THIS GET GAS ON MY VEHICLE AND PERSON, THIS SPILLS GAS ALL OVER THE PUMP HANDLE AND GROUND AT THE STATION. THIS IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE TO MYSELF, DAMAGING TO MY VEHICLES PAINT, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY DANGEROUS. I HAVE READ OF A LARGE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WITH THIS ISSUE ON THEIR JEEP VEHICLES. I WOULD EXPECT JEEP WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE DANGEROUS, WASTEFUL, AND SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE CONDITION. FOR ME PERSONALLY, I DON'T EXPECT THAT WITH 46K MILES ON MY JEEP THAT THIS SHOULD HAPPEN, AND BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER TO FIX. I HOPE THAT THERE CAN BE SOME ACTION TAKEN TO HOLD JEEP RESPONSIBLE, AND REMEDY THIS (COMMON) ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

FUEL SPRAY FROM FILLING VEHICLE UP. DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS ALL PRODUCE THE SAME RESULT. IF I SET THE AUTO FILL ON THE PUMP OR IF I HOLD THE PUMP HANDLE, FUEL WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILL NECK AND ONTO THE VEHICLE, GROUND OR MYSELF. *TR
