2006 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

THE FUEL SPITS BACK OUT WHEN FULL AS I FILL THE TANK UP. NOT JUST A LITTLE, BUT A LOT OF GAS SPILLS OUT ON ME, THE GROUND, AND THE GROUND. I HAVE TRIED MANY DIFFERENT GAS PUMPS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE, BUT HASN'T RECALLED IT YET. THEY ONLY REPLACE YOUR GAS TANK WITH THE SAME ONE THAT WILL STILL CAUSE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A SERIOUS HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. ALMOST EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED UP, A SIGNIFICANT QUANTITY OF GASOLINE IS FORCEFULLY EJECTED/SPRAYED FROM THE FILLER NECK AS THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS IS NOT A "TOP-OFF" SITUATION IT IS ON THE FIRST AND ONLY ATTEMPT. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT MULTIPLE STATIONS AND MULTIPLE PUMPS AT THOSE STATIONS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SPILLING OUT WHEN PUMPING FUEL. HAVE TO PUMP SLOW AND STOP TO PUMP FUEL. *TR

DURING FILLUP, FUEL WILL EJECT OUT OF THE TANK OPENING NEARLY EVERY TIME. THE GAS STATIONS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF WHEN IT DETECTS A FULL TANK, BUT ABOUT 1 SECOND LATER GASOLINE WILL ERUPT OUT ONTO THE JEEP'S BODY, THE FILLER HOSE, AND SOMETIMES MYSELF. THE ONLY TIME IT DOESN'T OCCUR IS WHEN THE FILLING STATION HAS THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF SENSITIVITY SET MORE SENSITIVE THAN IS NORMAL. *TR

ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME I FILL MY JEEP'S TANK IT WILL GUSH FUEL WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I'VE TRIED GOING TO DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND IT STILL HAPPENS. NONE OF MY OTHER CARS DO THIS. AS A CONSEQUENCE IT SPILLS ABOUT A CUP OF FUEL ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. JEEP WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE AWARE OF IT. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE A 06 JEEP WRANGLER THAT EACH TIME SOMEONE FILLS THE GAS TANK WITH FUEL IT OVERFLOWS. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY GAS STATION THAT IT HAS EVER BEEN FILLED UP AT. IT IS A HAZARD THAT FUEL SPILLS OUT OVER THE GROUND EACH TIME THAT IT IS FILLED UP. THE FUEL TANK HAS TO BE FIXED. *TR

THE FUEL OVER FLOWS EVERY TIME IT IS REFUELED. THE SPEED OF THE FUEL PROCESS DOES NOT AFFECT THE SPILLAGE. *TR

MY '06 JEEP WRANGLER OVERFLOWS WITH GAS EVERY TIME I FILL UP NOW. IT BEGAN DOING THIS ABOUT A MONTH OR SO AGO, AND NOW DOES IT EVERY TIME I FILL UP REGARDLESS OF HOW SLOW I TRY TO PUMP THE GAS. GAS SPITS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE JEEP AND THE GROUND. SEVERAL DAYS AGO MY WIFE, WHO WAS UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM, DROVE MY JEEP AND AS A KIND GESTURE THOUGHT SHE WOULD FILL IT UP FOR ME. AS A RESULT, SHE ENDED UP GETTING GAS SPLASHED ON TO HER CLOTHES, THE JEEP, AND THE SURROUNDING GROUND. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. I HAVE COME TO LEARN THAT MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. JEEP HAS IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A STUCK CHECK BALL THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. TO REMEDY THE SITUATION, THEY RECOMMEND THAT YOU BUY A NEW GAST TANK. HOWEVER, NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE NEW GAS TANKS, SO IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOU WOULD START TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, MOST OF US ARE RECENTLY OUT OF WARRANTY AND JEEP IS REFUSING ANY OTHER HELP. BESIDES THE OBVIOUS PERSONAL HAZARDS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROBLEM, YOU ALSO FACE AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD EVERY TIME YOU NEED TO FUEL UP YOUR VEHICLE. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT YOU CAN HELP ME AND TENS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATHS OCCUR FROM THIS DEFECT.

EVERYTIME I FILL MY GAS TANK, GAS SQUIRTS OUT OF THE FILL AND SPLASHES ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ALL ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

SINCE SEPTEMBER 2009,EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER,AT LEAST 10 TO 12OZ SPILL OUT BEFORE THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON THE NOZZLE IS ENGAGED. I BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
