2006 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

I OWN A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. MANY TIMES WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK THE FUEL DOES NOT SHUT OFF AND SPILLS FUEL ON THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. *TR

WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, STRIKING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROADWAY CAUSES SEVERE FRONT END OSCILLATION FROM THE AXEL. THE VIBRATION IS SO VIOLENT, IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO FEEL AS THOUGH IT WILL COME APART. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE VIBRATIONS IS TO ABRUPTLY REDUCE SPEEDS TO A STOP. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SPITS GASOLINE OUT AT ME WHEN FILLING THE VEHICLE! IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN NEARING FULL, NO MATTER WHAT I DO TO TRY TO AVOID IT FROM HAPPENING. SOMETIMES IT SPITS FORCEFULLY, HARD ENOUGH TO GET GASOLINE ON ME, SOMETIMES IT'S JUST A MINOR SPIT THAT JUST DRIBBLES DOWN THE VEHICLE. EITHER WAY, IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I ATTEMPT TO FILL THE TANK TO FULL. I HAVE RESORTED TO ONLY PUTTING 10 GALLONS OF GASOLINE IN AT A TIME, AND ONLY IF THE FUEL GAUGE READS BELOW 1/4, TO ENSURE I DON'T HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THE GASOLINE SPIT-BACK. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR REPAIRED YET. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SPEWS GAS OUT WHEN I'M FILLING THE TANK. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN IT. IT COMES OUT IN A GUSH, SPLASHING ALL OVER ME AND THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PARTS REPAIRED OR REPAIRED YET. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY JEEP WRANGLER IT OVERFLOWS BEFORE THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, SO I DO THINK IT'S A PARTICULAR PUMP OR STATION. *TR

EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL THE GAS TANK UP TO FULL, THE FUEL WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. ALSO, WHEN I PUMP GAS, THE FUEL WILL OFTEN BACKFLOW INTO THE PUMP, CAUSING IT TO SHUT OFF PREMATURELY (ABOUT EVERY 10 SECONDS, REGARDLESS OF AMOUNT OF GAS IN TANK). THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM EVER SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. MY ONLY CHOICE IS TO NEVER FILL MY GAS TANK ALL THE WAY, AND PUMP THE GAS SLOWLY. *TR

THE DW'S, A DEFECT JEEP REFUSES TO ADDRESS. TELL ME WHERE JEEP HAS PUBLICLY ADDRESSED THIS WIDE AND WELL KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THEIR CONSUMERS. ENOUGH WITH THE BAND-AIDS!! BECAUSE I DID NOT BRING MY JEEP IN FOR A 30,000 ML CHECK UP (EVENTHOUGH I WAS ONLY AT 28,000) MY DEALER TOLD ME MY WARRANTY WOULD BE NULL AND VOID. ALTHOUGH, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE ENGINE HAD TO DO WITH THE STEERING, I WAS UNABLE TO GET HIM TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM ANY FURTHER. "ROTATE YOUR TIRES FOR YOU, THAT'S ALL I CAN DO" WAS WHAT I WAS TOLD. SO, AFTER THROWING MONEY AT MY JEEP TO TRY AND FIX IT THIS WAY OR THAT WAY (BTW MY JEEP IS ENTIRELY STOCK) THE ONLY THING I'VE FOUND TO RID THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE MY TIRES EVERY 25,000 ML OR SO AND ROTATE EVERY 5,000 ML. SO, IF YOU DON'T MIND BUYING NEW TIRES EVERY TWO YEARS OR SO, PROBLEM SOLVED. IF THIS A PROBLEM JEEP IS TELLING YOU THAT YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH SUCK IT!

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 TO 50 MPH HE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A VIOLENT SHAKE IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE SHAKING BECAME SO EXCESSIVE THAT IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO MOVE INTO THE NEXT LANE DUE TO THE DRIVER NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL IT. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO ADVISED HIM THAT THE SHAKING MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TIRE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE TIRES AND PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT. WITHIN 10,000 MILES OF HAVING THE ALIGNMENT DONE AND THE TIRES CHANGED THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE PURCHASED A USED 2006 JEEP WRANGLER FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AROUND TWO YEARS AGO, AND WITHIN THE PAST YEAR I HAVE NOTICED GAS GUSHES OUT OF MY FUEL TANK EVERY TIME I GET FUEL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS ATTENDANT, AS IT IS ILLEGAL IN NJ TO PUMP YOUR OWN FUEL, HOWEVER THIS IS NOW OCCURRING EVERYTIME. I AM WORRIED MY PAINT WILL BECOME RUINED OR MY CAR MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE IF IT IS TOO HOT. I ALSO DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO PUMP MY OWN GAS AND I DON'T NEED THIS PROBLEM TO CAUSE MORE ISSUES DOWN THE ROAD SINCE THE SPILLED GAS HAS ALREADY DISCOLORED MY STOCK FENDER FLARE. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND ONCE THE GAS SPILLS OVER MAKING EVERYTHING ON THE INSIDE REEK OF FUMES. *TR

SUMMARY:EACH TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED, GASOLINE GUSHES OUT THE FILL SPOUT ON TO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND OR PAVEMENT. THIS CAN NOT BE AVOIDED IF COMPLETELY FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL. FUEL TANK CAN ONLY PARTIALLY BE FILLED. THIS PROBLEM POSES AN EXTREME FIRE DANGER TO ANY PERSON FILLING THE FUEL TANK. SURE HOPE THAT SOMEONE DON'T DIE IN ORDER FOR SOMETHING TO ACTUALLY GET DONE! *TR
