2006 Jeep Wrangler

THIS STARTED IN OCTOBER 2011 WITH MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN I PUT GAS IN THE TANK, AS SOON AS ITS FULL AND THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, GAS BURSTS OUT OF THE TANK ALL OVER THE JEEP, THE GROUND, EVERYWHERE. THIS IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE, ALONG WITH AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE! I'M HEARING ABOUT SO MANY JEEPS THAT ARE DOING THIS. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? I'M HAVING IT LOOKED AT BY MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER, BUT SO FAR THEY SAID CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS BUT HAS "NO FIX" ON THIS SITUATION.

EVERY FUEL FILL UP THE GAS BURPS BACK UP THE FILL HOSE AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. IT WILL DO THIS EVEN WHEN FILLING AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE. THIS IS NOT ONLY ANNOYING BUT OF COURSE WASTES GAS AND CREATES A FIRE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION. SEVERAL OTHER JEEP OWNERS AROUND HERE SAY THEIR WRANGLERS DO THE SAME THING. *TR

WHENEVER I ADD GASOLINE (FROM ANY STATION), A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF FUEL WILL SLOSH BACK OUT OF THE FILLER RIGHT BEFORE THE PUMP KICKS OFF. CHECKING WITH THE DEALER AND OTHER SOURCES, IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM. HOWEVER, JEEP IS ONLY CONCERNED WITH FIXING THE 2007 AND NEWER JK MODELS. THEIR FIX FOR THOSE MODELS IS AN EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY. MY OTHER SOURCES SAY THAT IT'S RAMPANT IN YEARS PRIOR AS WELL. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER SAYS IT'S THE "ROLLOVER VALVE" THAT GOES BAD. THE VALVE ISN'T REPAIRABLE. THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDS REPLACED. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK EVERY TIME THE FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER NOZZLE BEFORE THE PUMP CAN AUTO SHUTOFF. EVERY TIME - THIS CAUSES GAS TO LEAK DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ON ME BEFORE I LEARNED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING IS TO NOT FILL UP ALL THE WAY WITH GAS. OTHERWISE IT DOES THIS EVERY SINGLE FILL UP. *TR

ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY JEEP STARTED TAKING FOR EVER TO FILL AND SHOOTS GAS OUT ALL OVER ME AND THE GROUND... I HAVE TO STAND A THERE AND BARELY LET THE GAS TRICKLE INTO THE TANK AND I CANNOT EVEN SET IT ON THE LOWEST LEVER FOR HANDLE IT TAKES ME ABOUT 20 MIN TO PUT 40.00 DOLLARS WORTH OF GAS IN IT,,,, THE DEALER SAID THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY... THEY ALSO TOLD ME TO CHECK FUEL FILLER PIPE FOR OBSTRUCTIONS AND TO PULL OUR MY VAPOR CANISTER AND CLEAN IT.... I DID BOTH AND IT DIDN'T FIX A THING..IM ALSO UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM..... I WORKED FOR CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS FOR YEARS AND REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WONT TAKE ANY ACTIONS.... I BOUGHT THIS JEEP BRAND NEW FROM WHERE I WAS WORKING AT... IT WAS MY DREAM VEHICLE... NOW IM NOT SO SURE... *TR

WHEN ADDING FUEL TO THE 2006 JEEP WRANGLER EITHER WITH AN AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF PUMP OR BY HAND THE FUEL OVER SPRAYS OUT OF THE NOZZLE HOLE WHEN THE TANK BECOMES FULL. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED YOU ADD FUEL SPILLING GAS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ON THE PERSON ADDING THE FUEL, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND AT THE GAS STATION. THIS MOST LIKELY IS CAUSED BUT VACUUM PRESSURE NOT BEING RELEASED CORRECTLY BY THE FUEL INLET HOSE AND WOULD BE A DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE FLAW. *TR

EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE VEHICLE UP WITH GAS, GAS COMES POURING OUT OF THE FILLER OPENING. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL TYPES OF GAS PUMPS. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TANK OF VENTING SYSTEM BECAUSE THE PUMPS NEVER AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. GAS SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR. MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM.

GAS TANK OVER FLOW EVERY TIME I FILL MY WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH GAS. JEEP SAYS ONLY 07 AND 08 ARE RECALLED NOT 06.THEY DON'T THINK A QUART OF GAS ALL OVER THE JEEP AND THE GROUND, HELLO, IS A PROBLEM, WOW UNREAL. MAYBE E.P.A SHOULD CARE. APPARENTLY ALL 05 AN 06 WRANGLERS WERE NOT RECALLED OUTRAGEOUS!!! JEEP AND THE E.P.A SHOULD CARE A LOT MORE ABOUT OUR ENVIRONMENT!! ITS DISGUSTING AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. PS I BOUGHT MY JEEP USED PREVIOUS OWNER NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT FROM WHAT I READ ALL DO THE SAME. *TR
