2006 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

2006 JEEP WRANGLER GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. SOMETIMES TO THE POINT THAT THE GAS WILL SPEW IN THE AIR FROM THE TANK DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF GAS NOZZLE THAT IS USED. *LN

FUEL SPRAYS OUT DURING REFUELING MY 06' JEEP WRANGLER AT THE POINT WHERE THE NOZZLE IS INSERTED. I HAVE TO STAND BACK ABOUT 4 FEET TO PREVENT GETTING SPRAYED WITH FUEL. *TR

THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON W/~44,000 MILES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED DURING A TRIP AND UPON RETURN A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL READ THE ERROR CODES = P0016 AND OTHERS. THE CODE P0016 INDICATED A CAM-CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH IS PART OF THE CAMSHAFT SYNCHORNIZER (PART #53010624AC). INQUIRY INTO PURCHASING THIS PART, WE WERE TOLD THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND HAS BEEN FOR MORE THAN 9 MONTHS. FURTHER INQUIRY INTO NUMEROUS OTHER DEALERS AND PARTS COMPANY'S SUPPORT THE NATIONAL BACK ORDER PROBLEM. AND AFTER DEEPER RESEARCH ONLINE INTO THIS ISSUE INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING THREAD AT HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/CHRYSLER-PAYING-INSTALL-NEW-CAM-2005-2006-OWNERS-SHOULD-READ-963235/?REFERRERID=211189 IT SHOWS A MUCH MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM EXISTS THAN JUST A SENSOR CAUSING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THERE WAS A RECALL (EO5) FOR THE 2005 MODEL YEAR BUT YET THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS IN THE 2006 MODEL AS EVIDENCED BY THE THREAD (THERE ARE OTHER THREADS AND RESEARCH) AS WELL AS THE NATIONAL BACK ORDER FOR THE PARTS SUPPORTING THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THE TEETH ON THE ASSOCIATED GEARS FOR THE SYNCHRONIZER AND THE CAMSHAFT PARTS PREMATURELY WEAR OUT CAUSING PLAY BETWEEN THESE TWO GEARS THUS ACTIVATING THE SENSOR WHICH THEN CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ILLUMINATED. THIS CEL ACTIVITY LIMITS THE MAXIMUM RPMS AT ~3,000 THUS CAUSING LIMITED DRIVABILITY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF WHEN EXCEEDING THIS RPM LIMIT DUE TO CHANGING GEARS TO EITHER ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE, THE VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND HESITATES SIGNIFICANTLY THUS REDUCING DRIVABILITY POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING THE OCCUPANTS DURING NORMAL CITY AND INTERSTATE DRIVING CONDITIONS. FURTHER USE OF THE VEHICLE CAUSES FURTHER FAILURE OF THESE GEARS RESULTING IN A SHUT DOWN OF THE VEHICLE AND COMPLETE INOPERABLE. WHEN THE GEARS STOP TURNING, THIS ACTION STOPS TURNING THE OIL PUMP RESULTING IN NO OIL FLOW. NO OIL FLOW COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SEIZE SHOULD THESE GEARS FAIL WHILE DRIVING ON OUR INTERSTATE SYSTEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER THAT IS SHOOTING GASOLINE OUT OF IT AFTER IT IS FILLED UP WITH GAS. BASICALLY, AFTER THE FUELING IS COMPLETE AND THE PUMP CLICKS OFF, GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR, THE GROUND, AND THE PUMP. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THIS DEFECT CAUSES A FIRE AT A STATION OR GETS SOMEBODY KILLED. JEEP IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE QUITE A FEW JEEP OWNERS WHO ARE REPORTING THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

06 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON TANK OVERFLOW/SPLASH BACK WHEN REFUELING. AT EVERY FILL UP REGARDLESS OF PUMP HANDLE STYLE, ANGLE OR DEPTH OF PUMP NOZZLE OR STATION LOCATION, A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPLASHES BACK AT THE POINT WHEN IT SHOULD CUT OFF. IT DOUSES ME AND MY VEHICLE AND THE GROUND WITH GASOLINE. PROBLEM BEGAN APPX 2 YEARS AGO AT ROUGHLY 40K MILES AND HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS TO DATE. NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE NO SPECIFIC SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND. *TR

1. FAILURE APPARENT SINCE BEGINNING OF OWNERSHIP. 2. FUEL SPILLS OUT OF GAS TANK UPON FILLING THE GAS TANK IN A NORMAL FASHION. FAILURE OCCURS EVERY TIME GAS TANK IS FILLED COMPLETELY. GAS SPILLS OUT OF TANK, OVER THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND ON TO THE GROUND AT THE GAS PUMP. 3. NO ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT FAILURE AT THIS POINT. *TR

FUEL SPILLING AT EVERY FILL UP, FROM READING ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS. IT HAPPENS AT EVERY FUEL STATION AND DOESN'T MATTER IF THE NOZZLE IS HALF IN OR TOTALLY IN. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 UNLIMITED JEEP WRANGLER AND A COUPLES YEARS AGO, WHILE MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THE GAS TANK STARTED OVERFLOWING, THE PUMP DID NOT STOP AND GAS WOULD GET ALL OVER THE CAR, MY CLOTHING, ETC. THE DEALERSHIP THEN REPLACED THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. RECENTLY THIS PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN AND I HAD TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER DIRECTLY AND THEN THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS FIXED. I ENDED UP PAYING APPROXIMATELY $222 TO GET A NEW GAS TANK AGAIN. WHEN I WENT FILL UP THE CAR AFTER PICKING IT UP FROM BEING "SUPPOSEDLY" FIXED I REALIZED THAT IT WAS NOT FIXED AND GAS WAS ALL OVER MY CAR. IT SEEMS AS IF THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND REPLACING THE GAS TANK IS A SHORT TERM FIX OR NO FIX AT ALL. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAVE TO BRING MY WRANGLER BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. *TR

THE GAS TANK OVERFILLS EACH TIME I FILL IT UP. WHEN SET ON THE AUTOMATIC GAS FILL FUNCTION IT OVER SPILLS. *TR

WOULD GO FROM 30 MPH AND UP APPLY THE BRAKES AND GET A VIOLENT SHAKING. TOOK IT TO GOODYEAR (HAD ONLY 24000 BTW) WHEN WE GOT NEW TIRES PUT ON IT AND THE GUY SAID THE ROTORS WERE 3/16 PAST TURNING. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE US $875 FOR NAPA ROTORS. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAD BEEN REPORTED. SO SEEING WE WERE DEFEATED WE ASKED FOR PRICES ON ROTORS (SINCE WE WERE THERE) $310 FOR DRIVER SIDE AND $325 FOR PASSENGER. I WAS LIKE UHM OK....WENT TO FOUR WHEEL PARTS GOT A DRILLED SET MADE IN USA WITH PADS FOR $275 OUT THE DOOR.I MEAN I FIGURED WHY PAY OVER 600 AND HAVE THEM ONLY LAST ANOTHER 24000 MILES? GOT 54000 ON IT NOW WITH THE US BRAKES AND HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM. BTW IT STOPS ALOT BETTER THAN THE STOCK ONES DID. OH AN I SAID 1 INJURY BECAUSE I DID INJURE MY WRIST TRYING TO HOLD IT ON THE ROAD EVERYTIME I DROVE IT. *TR
