2006 Jeep Wrangler

WHEN FUELING UP, MANY TIMES THE FUEL PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AND THE FUEL WILL SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. I'VE TRIED SLOWING DOWN THE FLOW OF FUEL JUST PRIOR TO A FULL TANK WITH NO CHANGE. IT HAPPENS A LOT, BUT NOT EVERY TIME. I'VE TRIED ANGLING MY VEHICLE WITH THE FILLER NECK DOWN HILL AND UP BUT IT RANDOMLY SPILLS FUEL. I'VE TRIED WAITING ONCE COMING TO A STOP PRIOR TO TURNING OFF THE ENGINE WITH NO RHYME OR REASON TO WHEN IT WILL SPILL FUEL. *TR

WHEN FILLING MY GAS TANK AT ANY GAS STATION, THE GAS SPILLS (OR ACTUALLY SHOOTS OUT) OUT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. I JUST TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AFTER GETTING GAS ALL OVER ME. I SPENT $100 ON DIAGNOSTICS. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND JEEP/CHRYSLER IS TOO CHEAP TO COVER IT BY RECALL. I'VE HEARD OF A GROUP THAT IS TALKING TO TORT ATTORNEYS SO I WILL LOOK INTO THAT NEXT. *TR

I BOUGHT MY JEEP IN NOVEMBER 2006 WITH 600 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IT IS A STOCK VEHICLE WITH NO AFTER-MARKET ADDITIONS, HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN OFF-ROAD AT ALL AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. RECENTLY, WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON A PAVED HIGHWAY, VIOLENT FRONT END VIBRATION OCCURRED FOR NO APPARENT REASON THAT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. MY MECHANIC HAS REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER, SHOCK ABSORBERS, BUSHINGS, STEERING RODS, ETC. VIOLENT VIBRATING HAS CONTINUED. ON GOOGLE I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT ABOUT "JEEP DEATH RATTLE" OR "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE". APPARENTLY JEEP DEALERS ARE UNINTERESTED IN THE PHENOMENON BECAUSE IT IS ONLY DISCUSSED ON GOOGLE. SINCE THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PHENOMENON AMONG JEEP OWNERS I AM WONDERING WHY THE NHTSA HASN'T REQUIRED JEEP TO ISSUE A RECALL TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR THESE VIBRATIONS AND COME UP WITH A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. BY IGNORING THIS PROBLEM NHTSA IS ALLOWING A DANGEROUS CONDITION TO PERSIST THUS ENDANGERING JEEP DRIVERS AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. ## VIN PASSED ## 2006 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR 4X4 ##. *TR

EXPERIENCING "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN DRIVING OVER MANHOLES AND/OR STORM SEWER GRATES. UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING IN FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS ON 03/05/2012. HAS BEEN AT DEALER FOR 25 DAYS. REPAIR PARTS/LABOR CURRENTLY AT $1050+TAX. VEHICLE IN WORSE CONDITION THAN PRIOR TO HAVING REPAIRS. HAS NOW ALSO DEVELOPED A "SHIMMY" IN THE STEERING THAT WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN VEHICLE BROUGHT IN TO DEALER. VEHICLE WILL BE RETRIEVED ON 03/31/2012 AND TAKEN TO DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP. PROBLEM NOT UNIQUE TO MY VEHICLE. RESEARCH OF PROBLEM ON INTERNET HAS NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. PLEASE HELP PRIOR TO VEHICLE CAUSING ACCIDENT AND INJURIES/DEATH TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFAULT, IE. POOR DESIGN AND NO SOLUTION FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. *JS

THE CAR EXPERIENCED VIOLENT FRONT END WOBBLE WHEN GOING OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT, MORE SEVERE WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND REPLACED THEM (THERE WAS ONLY APPROX. 11,000 MILES ON THE CAR AT THAT TIME, WHICH I HAD BOUGHT NEW). THE PROBLEM RECURRED OFF AND ON, BUT TO A LESSER DEGREE. THE PROBLEM RECURRED IN THE SUMMER OF 2009, WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES DRIVEN. I HAD THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR REPLACED ON 9-3-11. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR SOMETIMES TO A LESSER DEGREE AND SOMETIMES TO A GREATER DEGREE DEPENDING ON VEHICLE SPEED. WHEN THE WOBBLE IS SEVERE, CONTROL OF THE JEEP IS DIFFICULT, WITH ONE INSTANCE OF GOING OFF OF THE ROAD UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND REGAINED CONTROL. *TR

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
