2006 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

FUEL OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS ONTO FLOOR AND ALL OVER SIDE OF VEHICLE EVERYTIME I FILL WITH FUEL.

GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK EVERY TIME I FILL UP. NO MATTER HOW FAST I PUMP, OR WHICH GAS STATION I'M AT. *CN

STARTING WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD APPROX 30K MILES, THE HANDLE AT THE GAS STATION WOULD SHUT OFF ONE TO TWO SECONDS AFTER GAS WOULD COME SPRAYING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS OR HANDLE STYLES HAD NO EFFECT ON THE PROBLEM. I DID DISCOVER THAT IF FILLED VERY SLOWLY, IT WOULD CLICK OFF BEFORE OVERFILLING; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM IS PROGRESSIVE AND THAT METHOD IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE. LAST WEEK (MARCH 21ST 2010) I WENT TO ADD GAS AND FOUND THAT THE HANDLE WOULD CLICK OFF INSTANTLY WHEN MORE THAN 1/4 FLOW WAS ATTEMPTED, EVEN THOUGH THE GAS TANK WAS EMPTY. ATTEMPTS AT REMOVING THE GAS TANK AND ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS HAVE FOUND NO OBSTRUCTIONS OR OBVIOUS DAMAGE; HOWEVER THE MALFUNCTION REMAINS. *CN

I OWN A 2006 JEEP RUBICON WRANGLER... EVERY FILL UP THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS SPILLING AT LEAST 2-3 CUPS WORTH OF GASOLINE ALL OVER MY JEEP, THE GROUND AND SOMETIMES ON ME. I FEEL THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFTEY HAZARD BUT AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD AS WELL.

EACH TIME I REFUEL MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER, THE FUEL SPLASHES OUT JUST AFTER THE PUMP AUTO SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY REFUEL

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE NOTICED A HARD VIBRATION UNDER THE CLUTCH, THE CLUTCH MADE A POPPING SOUND WHEN SHE SWITCHED GEARS AND ONCE IN SIXTH GEAR, THE RPMS FLUCTUATED. FURTHERMORE, THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE SEEMED AS IF IT WOULD STALL. THE CONTACT NOTICED THESE PROBLEMS WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED A SPEED OF 60 MPH. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO RECALL 06V147000 (POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,476. THE CURRENT MLEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,800.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK FULL, THE GAS OVERFLOWS FROM THE GAS TANK FILL SITE. THIS SPEWS GASONLINE (ABOUT 1-2 CUPS OF FUEL) ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL TIMES THE GAS HAS SPRAYED ON TO ME AS WELL AS PUMP ATTENDANTS. THE GASOLINE SPILLAGE IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT OCCURS EACH TIME THE GAS TANK IS FILLED.

EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER TJ UNLIMITED, THE FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK BECAUSE THE NOZZLE STOP MUST BE SET TO SHUT OFF HIGHER THAN THE JEEP FUEL TANK WILL ALLOW FOR IT TO FILL. I HAVE EVEN TRIED TO TRICKLE FUEL IN AT THE END OF THE FILL UP AND IT STILL SHOOTS FUEL EVERYWHERE. THIS IS AN EVERY FILL UP OCCURRENCE AND NOT JUST FROM TIME TO TIME.

1. WHEN FILLING GAS TANK AT STATION, FUEL SPRAYS AND SPILLS OUT OF FILLER NECK WHEN TANK IS FULL. 2. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP AND CAN RESULT IN QUITE A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS BEING SPILLED SOMETIMES. IT BEGAN HAPPENING ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO. 3. NOTHING, JEEP SAYS IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY.*DT

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK TO FULL CAPACITY, PUMPS SPILLS FUEL OUT OF TANK FILLER TUBE. POSSIBLE ROLL OVER VALVE STICKING CAUSING FUEL TANK TO OVERFILL SPILLING FUEL OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE BECAUSE THE PUMP DON'T STOP WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. *DT
