2006 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

JUST PURCHASED A USED 06 JEEP WRANGLER IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH 16000+ MILES, TOOK IT TO FILL IT UP AND GAS RAN OUT ON MY FIRST FILL UP. NOW I HAVE TO ESTIMATE HOW MUCH GAS I NEED AND WHEN I GET THE THAT AMOUNT, I SLOWLY FILL THE TANK TO FULL. (8/100 *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION THE PUMP WILL OVERFLOW IF I'M FILLING UP THE TANK. THE PUMP DOESN'T STOP UNLESS I PULL THE NOZZLE OUT AT WHICH POINT GAS WILL SPILL ALL OVER THE REAR FLARE AND PAINT. IT HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS. THIS IS IN MY OPINION A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IT APPEARS CHRYSLER IS GOING TO WAIT FOR AN IGNITION SOURCE TO BE AROUND FOR SOMEONE TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE BEFORE THEY RESOLVE THIS. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS THE GAS WILL OVERFLOW FROM THE FILL HOLE. I WOULD ESTIMATE ABOUT 2 CUPS OF GAS SPILLS BEFORE THE GAS SHUTS OFF. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND HORRIBLE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR

2006 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT BRAKE ROTORS: WARPED AT 6K MILES, TURNED BY DEALER, 8K MILES, ROTORS REPLACED, 15K ROTORS TURNED BY INDEPENDENT SHOP, 20K ROTORS REPLACED - AND DIAGNOSTICS SHOP FOUND THAT THE PROPORTIONAL VALVE WAS NOT SET PROPERLY, LEAVING FRONT BRAKES TO DO 75 PERCENT OF STOPPING, CAUSING EXCESSIVE HEAT/WARP. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED VIOLENT SHAKING OF JEEP DURING SLOW DOWN - I NEARLY LOST CONTROL ON MANY OCCASIONS - VERY VERY DANGEROUS. NOW I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE - STEERING IS DANGEROUS AT 52 MPH LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS VEHICLE HAS 25,700 MILES ON IT. DON'T BUY JEEP, DON'T BUY DANGEROUS. *TR

EVERYTIME I FILL MY GAS TANK UP, GAS EXPLODES OUT OF THE FILLER. IF THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE THAN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS! *TR

2006 JEEP WRANGLER. CONSUMER STATES CLUTCH PEDAL SNAPPED. THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE CLUTCH SNAPPED AND DANGLED. THE CLUTCH HYDRAULIC UNIT ACTUATING ROD HAD SNAPPED IN TWO. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER CONTACTED HIM AND STATED THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED IN AUGUST 2006. THE CONSUMER STATED HE FORGOT THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. BUT APPARENTLY, THE CLUTCH HYDRAULIC UNIT THAT WAS INSTALLED UNDER THE RECALL IS ALSO DEFECTIVE. *JB

1. FUELING THE VEHICLE. 2. WHEN FUELLING MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, GASOLINE WILL ABRUPTLY BACKFLOW OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND SPRAY ALL OVER AS THE TANK GETS CLOSE TO BEING FULL. IT HAPPENS SO QUICKLY AND VIOLENTLY THAT THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON THE GAS HOSE DOES NOT STOP IT. THIS WILL HAPPEN ANY TIME I ATTEMPT TO FILL THE TANK TO FULL. CONSEQUENCES: AS A RESULT, I HAVE HAD GASOLINE SPRAYED ALL OVER ME NUMEROUS TIMES INCLUDING GETTING IT IN MY EYES. ALSO, GASOLINE GETS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND LEAVES PUDDLES OF GAS ON THE GROUND CREATING A FIRE HAZARD. I MUST STOP FUELLING BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. OVERALL THIS IS A LIFE SAFETY HAZARD AND I FEEL IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

MY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ON MY 2006 JEEP UNLIMITED LJ HAS CAUSED MY JEEP CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND TO HAVE MISFIRE CODES, TRANSMISSION FAILURE CODES, AND EMISSION SENSOR CODES, CAUSING MY JEEP TO RUN ROUGH AND MAY CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE TO MY MOTOR IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. THE CODES PRODUCED, DOES NOT POINT OUT MY THAT MY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS THE PROBLEM BUT MASKS THE PROBLEM WITH OTHER SENSOR CODES.THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE AND THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T EVEN TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY JEEP AND SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO JUST START WITH ONE THING AND KEEP REPLACING PARTS TILL THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. I AM STILL TRYING TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED AND I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED WITH A REPUTABLE JEEP MECHANIC AT A SPECIALTY JEEP SHOP TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM THIS WEDNESDAY 8/4/2010. HOPEFULLY MY ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN DAMAGED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS FULLY AWARE OF! MY MILEAGE IS IN THE 76,000 MILE RANGE AND I DO NOT KNOW IF MY DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY COVERS THIS. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER X, THE TANK OVERFLOWS A FEW CUPS OF GASOLINE OUT OF THE FILLER OPENING AFTER THE PUMP HANDLE SHUTS OFF. THIS RESULTS IN GASOLINE POURING ONTO THE PAVEMENT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP - AND ALSO SOMETIMES ONTO MY FEET! THIS IS NOW A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH MANY JEEPS, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY! I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF GAS STATION OWNERS START BANNING JEEPS FROM FILLING UP, SINCE THE JEEPS ARE CAUSING GASOLINE TO BE SPILLED ONTO GAS STATION PAVEMENT ON A REGULAR BASIS! *TR

SEVERE VIBRATION IN FRONT WHEELS/STEERING AT 55 MPH. CEASES AS SPEED IS INCREASED PAST 60 MPH OR DECREASED.. TIRE BALANCE AND ALIGNMENT HAVE NO EFFECT. VEHICLE IS TOTALLY STOCK AND HAS APROX. 26,000 MILES. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. VIBRATION IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO ALMOST CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST YEAR. *TR
