2006 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

FUEL TANK FILLER NECK SPILLS GASOLINE FORCEFULLY OVER THE SIDE, FENDER FLARE AND GROUND, WHICH REQUIRES A SPILL KIT TO BE USED TO CLEANUP THE PUDDLE CREATED BY THIS SPILL. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED BEFORE AND WAS FIXED USING THE SAME FAULTY PARTS WHICH AT THAT TIME WAS UNDER WARRANTY. APPROXIMATELY 4000 MILES LATER THE SAME SPILLING OF GASOLINE OCCURRED BUT DEALERSHIP SAID THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $1000 TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS A POSSIBLY SEVERE INJURY TO MYSELF AS THE GASOLINE COULD FLY INTO MY EYES OR UNTO MY CLOTHES. I DEMAND A COMPLETE NEW FUEL TANK CONFIGURATION AND FUEL FILLER NECK PARTS. TWO EXACT PROBLEMS MEANS FAULTY EQUIPMENT PARTS AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED WITH UPDATED PARTS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS FIXED IS LISTED BELOW.

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WITH FUEL WHEN FILLING GAS TANK AND SPRAYS BACK ON YOU AND TO GROUND. I ATTACHED A LINK TO A YOUTUBE VIDEO. THIS IS NOT MY CAR BUT I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=ZOUVOKEOLO8

THE PLASTIC PART, YES PLASTIC, THAT ALLOWS THE TRANSMISSION TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK BROKE AND I WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK. THIS PART IS PART OF THE GEAR SHIFTER ON AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE ON-LINE CHAT SPACES.

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL SPLASHES BACK AT NEAR FULL. THE FUEL LEAKS DOWN THE PLASTIC FUEL DOOR AREA AND ONTO THE PAINTED FINISH ON THE BODY. I HAVE HAD IT SPLASH BACK ONTO MYSELF, ALSO. THERE IS SUPPOSEDLY A FAULTY FLAPPER VALVE INSIDE THE FILLER HOSE BEFORE THE FUEL ENTERS THAT TANK. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THE 97-06 WRANGLERS.

WHEN SITTING STILL WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND PUTTING GAS IN MY 06 JEEP WRANGLER, THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT KICK OFF QUICK ENOUGH WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND SPILLS GAS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD - IF YOU ARE NOT STANDING BACK, IT WILL SPLASH GAS ONTO YOUR CLOTHES WHICH COULD BE A DANGEROUS PERSONAL HAZARD WITH THE POTENTIAL OF BURNS TO A PERSONS BODY. GETTING IN AND OUT OF A VEHICLE PRODUCES STATIC ELECTRICITY AND COULD BE ENOUGH TO START A FIRE WITH THE JEEP AND POTENTIAL DANGER TO PEOPLE AND PROPERTY. THE JEEP WILL "BURP" GAS EVERYTIME THAT YOU FILL IT - THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I DO NOT EVEN FILL THE TANK AND LET THE PUMP KICK OFF ANYMORE FOR THIS REASON - IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF YOU WAIT FOR THE PUMP TO KICK OFF.

I CALLED MCDONALD CHRYSLER IN CLARE MICHIGAN(624 W. 5TH ST., CLARE MICHIGAN 48617, 1-989-386-7779) I CALLED THEM ABOUT 6-7 MONTHS AGO WHEN I FIRST GOT MY FIRST RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD THE PART SO I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THEM AND WHEN I GOT THERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST THAT THEY HAD HEAD OF THIS RECALL AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY GOT THE PART IN. WELL ON 22 FEBRUARY 2016 I RECEIVED A 3RD NOTICE AND STILL HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM. YOU WOULD THINK THAT WITH THIS BEING A SAFETY RECALL THAT THEY WOULD GET OFF THEIR BUTTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MY RECALL IS ABOUT THE CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH(R13/NHTSA15V-22). I DO PLAN TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP.
