2006 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE FUEL WOULD SPILL BACK OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR WAS IT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 34,000.

MY GAS TANK WILL OVERFLOW IF I AM NOT INCREDIBLY CAREFUL WITH THE GAS NOZZLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATED TIMES AND ON ONE OCCASION POURED GAS ON MY SHOES. (I NOW STAND PRETTY FAR BACK WHENEVER I AM FILLING UP) IT HAS ALSO POURED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, DISCOLORING THE FENDER AND PAINT, AS WELL AS LEAVING AN APPROXIMATE 1-2 FOOT PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND AT THE GAS STATION. I'D GUESS ABOUT 1/4 TO 1/3 GALLON OF GAS WILL GUSH OUT EACH TIME IT OVERFLOWS. TO FIX THIS (ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER) WOULD COST BETWEEN $800 AND $1000. HOW IS THIS IN ANY POSSIBLE WAY *NOT* A SAFETY HAZARD???! *TR

MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON SPITS GASOLINE OUT OF THE FILL SPOUT AT EVERY FILL UP UNLESS MANUALLY SHUT-OFF BEFORE TANK IS FULL. *TR

2006 JEEP WRANGLER AND THE DEATH WOBBLE. JEEP HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS CONDITION FOR SOME TIME NOW AND SINCE MY WARRANTY IS UP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT WAS UP, I AM NOW STUCK WITH IT OR PAY ALOT OF MONEY FOR A ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED YEARS AGO BY JEEP. EVERY TIME I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AT 60MPH THE JEEP GOES OUT OF CONTROL AND SHAKES THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU CAN COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE ROAD AND THEN ITS FINE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE JEEP AND DEATH WOBBLE AND YOU WILL SEE HOW MANY COMPLAINTS ARE OUT THERE. *TR

WHEN FILLING JEEP WRANGLER, THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUTOFF FEATURE OF PUMP DOES NOT WORK, AND GAS SPRAYS OUT BRIEFLY BEFORE SHUTTING OFF, SPILLING ON VEHICLE, OPERATOR, AND GROUND. I HAVE HAD TANK REPLACED BY DEALER AT 50,000 MILES, COST OF $350 TO ME. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE CLOSED THE INVESTIGATION INTO THIS, AND IF SO, YOU ARE TRULY INCOMPETENT IDIOTS (I'M SORRY, BUT COME ON). THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WITH SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE IMPACT! EVEN THOUGH I HAVE REPLACED MY TANK AT SOME PERSONAL EXPENSE, I BELIEVE THAT IT IS WITH THE SAME PRODUCT, AND I FULLY EXPECT IT TO FAIL AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. WOULDN'T YOU EXPECT A MODERN VEHICLE, EVEN A "SIMPLE" ONE TO BE ABLE TO FILL WITHOUT GETTING GAS ON YOURSELF, THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND?!!! PLEASE CONSIDER RE-OPENING THE CASE; THE IDEA THAT THE INTERNET CREATED THIS PROBLEM IS RIDICULOUS.

JEEP SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AT FREEWAY SPEED. ALMOST GOT CREAMED BY SEMI. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER ON SHOULDER, RESTARTED ENGINE AND LIMPED HOME UNDER 2500 RPM. ANY HIGHER RPM RESULTED IN COMPLETE POWER LOSS. RAN OBD GOT "INTERMITTENT CAM SENSOR". TRIED TO CHANGE SENSOR BUT ASSEMBLY WAS FULL OF METAL SHAVINGS. DID RESEARCH FOUND OUT THAT THE OIL PUMP DRIVE ASSEMBLY IS FAULTY. PART ON BACK ORDER, NO ONE HAS IT. COMMON PROBLEM WITH 05 MODELS DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN. VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN DESTROY ENGINE.

GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE JUST BEFORE THE TANK REACHES FULL AND THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS PROBLEM DID NOT APPEAR UNTIL I OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR AND NOW HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT EACH TIME I FILL MY TANK. FUEL PUMP KICKS OFF AS DESIGNED, BUT IS FOLLOWED BY 2-3 CUPS OF GAS SPILLING OUT WITH FORCE THAT COVERS THE PUMP HANDLE, SIDE OF VEHICLE, GROUND UNDER VEHICLE, AND ANYONE STANDING TOO CLOSE. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK IN MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER TJ, THE FUEL OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS/SPLASHES ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND GROUND. JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

NOTHING LEADING UP TO IT. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK. IT OVERFLOWS ALL OVER THE GROUND. IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP BRAND NEW IN 2006. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT EXCEPT NEVER ACTUALLY FILL IT ALL THE WAY I USUALLY STOP ABOUT A GALLON OR TWO SHORT. BUT SOMETIMES DON'T LET GO OF THE PUMP IN TIME AND IT STILL OVERFLOWS. *TR
