2006 JEEP WRANGLER; STARTING IN 2009, FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS EVER TIME TANK IS FILLED AT GAS STATION. THE FUEL TANK IS DEFECTIVE, AND THE RECOMMENDED REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE TANK. CREATES A SIGNIFICANT FUEL SPILL. THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT ON JEEP WRANGLER FUEL TANKS.*TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, THE PUMP ALWAYS OVERFLOWS. EVERY TIME. AS FOR THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE, IT IS EVERY OTHER WEEK. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY CARS GAS TANK UP THE FUEL SPILLS OUT I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER AND JEEP BOTH HAVE SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT ITS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN THOUGH GAS SPILLING OUT OF A VEHICLE I WOULD HAVE TO SAY IS PRETTY UNSAFE THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. *TR

2006 JEEP WRANGLER - WHEN FILLING WITH FUEL AT ANY SERVICE STATION THE FUEL TANK WILL OVERFILL CAUSING FUEL TO RUSH OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ONTO ANYONE OR ANYTHING STANDING IN THE WAY. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN COVERED IN FUEL BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN FULL. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND HEALTH HAZARD WITH FUEL BEING DUMPED ON THE GROUND AT SERVICE STATIONS. MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED AND MORE CAN BE READ AT JEEPFORUMS.COM. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! IT IS A DANGER! *TR

WHENEVER I FILL UP MY 06 JEEP WRANGLER, IT ALWAYS OVERFLOWS WHEN. THIS IS A WASTE OF GAS AND HAZARDOUS TO THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR

VEHICLE SPRAYS OUT GASOLINE WHENEVER I FILL IT UP. 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM FILL UPS, USUALLY 3 OUT OF 5 TIMES. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I FILL THE TANK TO FULL. THE DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS ISSUE A FEW TIMES ALREADY. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING ON ALOT OF JEEP VEHICLES. *TR

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 40 MPH TO 50 MPH THE FRONT END SHAKES VERY HARD AND IS HARD TO KEEP IN YOUR OWN LANE. *TR

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS ON EVERY FILL - NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION, PUMP, ETC (ALL OVER THE EAST COAST) THE AUTO SHUTOFF FIRES ONLY AFTER A CUP OR MORE OF GAS IS SPILLED. THIS HAS RESULTED IN ME BEING COVERED IN GASOLINE REPEATEDLY, NOT TO MENTION THE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLED TO THE GROUND EACH TIME IT IS FILLED. (EVEN FILLING EXTREMELY SLOWLY RESULTS IN A SPILL.) *TR

EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS IT OVERFILLS AND COMES OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND AND MY JEEP AND SOMETIMES ITS EVEN WENT ON ME. *TR
