2006 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

EVERY TIME I FILL THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER IT SPLASHES FUEL OUT UPON REACHING FULL. THIS IS NOT JUST A LITTLE FUEL, BUT A LOT. IT SURGES OUT ALL DOWN THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. I'VE CONTACTED MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY SAY IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MY TYPE OF VEHICLE AND THERE CURRENTLY IS NO FIX. THEY SUGGEST NOT FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY FULL. THIS IS HARD TO ACCOMPLISH BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL WHEN THE TANK IS GETTING FULL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND ENVIRONMENTALLY UNFRIENDLY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! *TR

I OWN A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A VIOLENT SHAKE OR ALSO KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE SINCE 2009. LATELY, IT HAS GOTTEN FAR WORSE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AT THE FIRST SIGNS OF THE PROBLEM, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE TIRES AND THAT THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME. I CALLED BACK SEVERAL TIMES AFTER I GOT THE TIRES, BUT THE MANAGER ALWAYS HAD AN EXCUSE. SO, NO I DID NOT GET REIMBURSED. THE TIRES FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT NOW IT'S BACK AND WORSE THAN EVER. IT STARTS THE DEATH WOBBLE AT AROUND 55MPH, IT IS SO VIOLENT THAT IT TAKES EVERYTHING I HAVE JUST TO KEEP CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN GET IT TO STOP IS TO EITHER SPEED UP TO 60 OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION FROM NHTSA BEFORE A DEATH OCCURS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO WORK, APPROX. 15 MILES, AND PARKED. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE TO GO TO LUNCH, THE CLUTCH PEDAL SNAPPED AND DANGLED. THE CLUTCH HYDRAULIC UNIT ACTUATING ROD HAD SNAPPED IN TWO. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE REPLACEMENT PART HAVE TO BE ORDERED AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE REPAIRED UNTIL NEXT WEEK. I HAVE REQUESTED THE DEALER TO KEEP THE OLD PART FOR ME. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN THE MORNING OR LUNCH TIME TRAFFIC I HAVE NO DOUBT IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERYTIME I FILL THE TANK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS NOW AND HAPPENS EVERYTIME AT EVERY PUMP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH THE 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND DECELERATED VERY QUICKLY. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. THE RPMS DROPPED TO AROUND 1500, PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DID NOTHING TO INCREASE THE RPMS. I HAD TO PULL OVER OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP IN JULY 2009. JEEP REPLACED ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO INCLUDE THE MAIN COMPUTER AT THE TIME. THEY SAID THAT THEY FOUND A SENSOR THAT WAS BAD. THE REPAIRS LASTED FOR ABOUT 10 MONTH AND THEN IT DID IT AGAIN IN MAY OF 2010. JEEP HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 7 WEEKS TRYING BEFORE THEY GOT IT REPAIRED THE FIRST TIME. THE LAST TIME IT TOOK 2 WEEKS TO REPAIR IT. *TR

MY JEEP DOES NOT STOP THE PUMP BEFORE IT IS CLOSE TO BEING FULL CAUSING THE GAS TO OVERFLOW FROM MY TANK AND LEAK OUT ALL OVER THE CAR, IT IS A COMMON DEFECT AMONG CHRYSLERS. *TR

DURING REFUELING - THE TANK FILLS UP FINE EXCEPT FOR THE "FINAL" MOMENT. AT THE TIME A NORMAL SYSTEM REGISTERS "FULL" THE REFUELING HANDLE WILL CLICK "OFF" AND STOP THE FUEL FLOW INTO THE FILLER NECK. IN MY INSTANCE, THE REFUELING HANDLE DOES CLICK/SHUT OFF, BUT ABOUT A PINT OF FUEL SPITS OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. I HAVE ATTEMPTED MANY DIFFERENT METHODS, I.E. REPOSITIONING THE REFUELING HANDLE, FILLING FAST OR SLOW, DIFFERENT GRADES OF FUEL, DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND EVEN DIFFERENT STATIONS IN DIFFERENT STATES. THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMED TO HELP WAS USING A FUEL ADDITIVE EVERY 2ND FILL UP, BUT THE PROBLEM ALWAYS RESURFACES. THROUGH RESEARCH, THE GENERAL PUBLIC SEEMS TO SUSPECT A FAULTY "ROLL OVER VALVE" WHICH CAN ONLY BE REPLACED BY REPLACING THE FUEL TANK. *TR

FUEL SPILLS WHILE FILLING UP JEEP WRANGLER. AFTER PUMPING FUEL, FUEL DUMPS OUT OF TANK INLET AND SPILLS ON GROUND. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE PUMP DOESN'T SHUT OFF AND IT OVERFILLS THE TANK CAUSING FUEL TO SPILL EVERYWHERE. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH PUMP OR GAS STATION I USE IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. THE SOLUTION IS UNKNOWN TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

1. I GET LOW ON FUEL AND NEED TO REFUEL MY WRANGLER. 2. GAS OVERFLOWS THE TANK FILLER TUBE AND SPILLS FUEL ALL OVER THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE, TIRES, GROUND, AND DEPENDING WHERE I AM STANDING, ME. IT OCCURS JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME I FILL ME VEHICLE UP, AT MANY DIFFERENT STATIONS WITH DIFFERENT NOZZLE TYPES. 3. THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR
