2006 Jeep Wrangler

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE UNLOADING GOODS FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE PARKED VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY IN REVERSE AND DOWNHILL UNTIL CRASHING INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE HEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE ALLOWED HER TO ERRONEOUSLY REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING SHIFTED INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,700.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY SHUT-OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I'VE OWNED THE JEEP FOR 2 MONTHS NOW AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. WHEN THE GAS TANK GETS FULL IT SPITS OUT THE GASOLINE INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF THE PUMP HANDLE LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE NOT FOUND ANY MENTION OF A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE IF THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS. *TR

EVER SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON, I HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN REFUELING THE CAR. I BOUGHT MY CAR SECOND-HAND. IF I LEAVE THE GAS NOZZLE ON 'AUTO', THE AUTO-SHUTOFF OF THE PUMP SHUTS OFF TOO LATE, RESULTING IN A GUSH OF GASOLINE SQUIRTING OUT OF THE TANK. THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT ANY SPILLING OF GAS DURING FUELLING IS TO LISTEN TO THE NOISE THAT THE ESCAPING AIR OUT OF THE TANK MAKES, OR GUESSTIMATING ROUGHLY HOW MUCH GAS THE CAR NEEDS, THEN MANUALLY VERY SLOWLY CONTINUE TO FILL UP. *TR

NOW THAT HAVE FORCED CHRYSLER TO RECALL JEEP MODELS FOR AIRBAG PROBLEMS HOW ABOUT FORCING JEEP/CHRYSLER TO RECALL AND FIX JEEP FOR THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS LAST YEAR. AT ABOUT 50MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I THOUGHT I WAS IN A BLENDER. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND JEEP FORUM AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS. I EVEN CHECKED WITH THE JEEP DEALER HERE IN OKLAHOMA AND WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE BALL JOINTS, STEERING CYLINDER AND/OR EVEN WORN TIRES. HE EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC SAID THE BALL JOINTS WERE GOOD... THE TIRES JUST OK. BUT STEERING CYLINDER WOULD PROBABLY NEED REPLACING. SO I PAID $145.00 TO THE JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALER FOR A NEW STEERING CYLINDER. TURNS OUT THE ONE I PURCHASED WAS MUCH BIGGER THEN THE ONE I REPLACED. IT STILL SHOOK A LITTLE UNTIL I REPLACED THE TIRES AT ANOTHER $650.00. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. I HOPE YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS. PLEASE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT AND MAYBE ALREADY HAS. THANKS *TR

ADDING GASOLINE TO GAS TANK AT A FILLING STATION WITH A STANDARD PUMP NOZZLE, WILL ALWAYS RESULT IN AN EXPULSION OF GASOLINE FROM THE VEHICLE FILLER OPENING WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THE PUMP NOZZLE DOES SHUT OFF THE DELIVERY OF FUEL, BUT A SUSPECTED DESIGN FLAW PERMITS GASOLINE TO ERUPT OUT OF THE FILLER OPENING, WHICH WILL SPLASH ONTO AN UNSUSPECTING PERSON DOING THE REFILLING, ONTO HIS SHOES, AND RUN DOWN THE OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE, CREATING AN UNNECESSARY HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZARD. VIDEO DOCUMENTATION CAN BE EASILY FOUND WITH A QUICK SEARCH ON YOUTUBE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 JEEP TJ RUBICON & AM HAVING A REFUELING ISSUE AT THE GAS PUMP. AT FIRST IT OVERFLOWED MAYBE TWICE. NOW I CAN'T REFUEL WITHOUT THE SHUT -OFF (ON THE GAS PUMP) SHUTTING OFF. THE ONLY WAY I CAN REFUEL IS BY HOLDING THE PUMP LEVER GENTLY WHICH DOES RESULTS IN AN OVER FLOW. I TALKED TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE & THEY SAID THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM & MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME FOR DIAGNOSTICS A MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHICH WILL COST ME $120.00 FOR A PROBLEM THAT OTHER TJ OWNERS ARE TALKING ABOUT ON THE INTERNET. THIS HAS BEEN A REFUELING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PUTTING ON HER SEAT BELT AND TRYING TO TIGHTEN IT, THE METAL PART INSIDE THE CHAIR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,113.
