2006 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

LIKE MANY OTHER 2006 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, MY GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY TANK. THE MECHANIC AT THE JEEP DEALERSHIP (SUPPOSEDLY AN EXPERT IN THE FIELD) DOESN'T SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, AND I STILL HAVE NOT FOUND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON. I HAVE HAD FUEL SPILLING OUT AT THE END OF FILLING UP MY TANK. WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE TANK. THAT WAS ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO. THE ISSUE HAS SINCE RE-APPEARED. NOW THAT MY JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY I FEEL IT IS RIDICULOUS TO GET ANOTHER TANK AT MY EXPENSE SINCE IT DID NOT FIX IT THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY JEEPS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY JEEP I GET GAS OVERFLOW. REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF GAS, GAS STATION OR PUMP. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. GAS SQUIRTS OUT AND IS A HAZARD. FROM READING OVER ON JEEPFROUM.COM IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/GAS-SPILLING-OVER-WHEN-FILLING-872096/. *TR

1. EMPTY GAS TANK. THEN WENT TO FILL SAID EMPTY TANK. 2. JEEP OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. SPLASHES FUEL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. 3. I HAVE HELD THE NOZZLE AT DIFFERENT ANGLES AND DIFFERENT DEPTHS IN THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK BUT ALL LEAD TO THE SAME RESULTS WITH NO VARYING IN FUEL OVERFLOW AMOUNTS. MENTIONED TO JEEP DEALERSHIP, NO PROBLEM MUST BE MY FAULT, DISCUSSED WITH FELLOW JEEP OWNERS AND SEARCHED ONLINE ALL TO NO AVAIL. *TW

GAS TANK OVERFILLS DURING FILLUP...AUTOMATIC GAS SHUT OFF FAILS AND GAS SPILLS ON THE GROUND (ABOUT 1 CUP OR SO EACH INSTANCE). THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME, HARMING THE ENVIRONMENT AND PRESENTING A FIRE DANGER. OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS ON JEEPFORUM.COM HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE FAULT APPARENTLY IS THE ROLL OVER CHECK VALVE, AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE GAS TANK. SO THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE TANK. BUT THE FAULTY PART IS ALSO REPLACED IN THIS PROCESS. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE GAS CONTINUALLY OVERFLOWS. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF THE TANK IS FUELING FAST OR SLOW. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER TO STAND BACK YOUR SHOES AND CLOTHING ARE SATURATED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A DIRT ROAD, THE CONNECTOR THAT ATTACHES THE PLASTIC FUEL LINE COMING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK TO THE METAL LINE THAT RUNS TO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT SNAPPED IN TWO, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STOP RUNNING FUEL TO BE PUMPED ONTO THE GROUND UNDER THE JEEP WHERE IT STOPPED. DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO THE COMPONENT INVOLVED, WHICH WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

GAS SPILLS, SPLATTERS, SHOOTS VIOLENTLY WHEN TANK IS FULL. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT ANY GAS STATION. OCCURS WHETHER I HAND CONTROL FILLUP OR WHETHER I RELY ON AUTO SHUT OFF. HAND FILLUP DOES SEEM TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF EXCESS GASOLINE SPEWING FROM TANK. GAS ENDS UP ON MY PAINT, PLASTIC, THE FUELING STATION GROUND, AND OFTEN MY CLOTHING AND/OR SHOES. VERY FRUSTRATING, CONCERN FOR FUEL SPARKS. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS, ONCE IT TANK GETS FULL AND THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, FUEL SPITS OUT OF THE TANK. IT GOES ALL OVER YOUR HANDS, CLOTHES AND THE FENDER. *TR

THE FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE DOES NOT ENGAGE CAUSING GAS TO SHOOT OUT ALL OVER WHEN FILLING UP THE TANK. *TR
