WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AT THE GAS STATION, GASOLINE WILL OVERFLOW MOMENTARILY, SPILLING GASOLINE ON THE GROUND FROM THE GAS TANK FILLER TUBE WHEN THE GAS PUMP FUEL NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE 2005 AND 2006 MODEL YEAR WRANGLERS I HAVE OWN(ED). REVIEWING COMMENTS ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE MODEL YEARS. AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM IS THE INTERNAL STICKING (DUE TO INTERNAL VALVE PLUG EXPANSION) CHECK VALVE THAT CAUSES SPILLAGE ALSO MAY NOT PERMIT PROPER FUEL FILLING.

FOR 5 SECONDS BEFORE HARD SHIFTING BACK INTO GEAR. THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME $955 FOR UNRELATED PARTS THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE! BEFORE I MYSELF FOUND IT TO BE THE PCM. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECALLED! BEFORE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHO CHARGED ME $450 TO REPLACE SOLENOIDS WHICH WAS A FALSE TROUBLE CODE!!! I AM SO LIVID BECAUSE NOW I AM GOING TO HAVE TO BUY A PCM WHICH ARE VERY EXPENSIVE WHEN THEY ARE AVAILABLE TO EVEN ORDER!!!

I GET THE DEATH SHAKE. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN 2015 AND I HAD IT FIXED. I HAVE IT AGAIN, STARTED IN JULY 2017. IT IS SO DANGEROUS. I LITERALLY HAVE TO STOP MY JEEP TO MAKE IT STOP. IT IS USUALLY WHEN I AM DRIVING BETWEEN 50 - 55 MPH. IT IS AWFUL.

THE PCM USED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS HAS A SERIOUS AND VERY COMMON FAILURE. CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN SINCE 2006 AND HAS MADE NO EFFORT TO DATE TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE. THE TCM SIDE (INTERNAL WITH THE PCM) HAS A PROBLEM THAT CAUSES HARSH SHIFTING ISSUES. THE ONLY KNOWN SUCCESSFUL REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE PCM. THIS HAS CAUSED THEM TO BE UNAVAILABLE AND WHEN THEY ARE, THEY ARE 3 TO 5 TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHER YEARS. ALSO, THESE REMANUFACTURED PCM'S ARE NOT RELIABLY REPAIRED, IT IS USUAL THAT SEVERAL DIFFERENT PCM'S BE INSTALLED BEFORE A RELIABLE ONE IS FOUND. I KNOW OF A 2006 JEEP TJL THAT HAD SIX MOPAR REMANUFACTURED COMPUTERS INSTALLED IN 90 DAYS, ALL BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP, BEFORE ONE THAT ACTUALLY WORKED WAS FOUND. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF POSTS ON EVERY ONLINE FORUMS THAT JEEPERS USE THAT DISCUSS THE PROBLEM IN GREAT DETAIL. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH WILL NET YOU ALL YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE 2006 WRANGLER AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PCM FAILURES.

WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE WITH SHOOT OUT OF THE FUEL FILL WHEN THE TANK IS NEARLY FULL. FROM SPEAKING WITH OTHER JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED OWNERS (2005 & 2006 MODELS ONLY), THIS ISSUE IS COMMONPLACE AND UNADDRESSED BY JEEP. IT IS REPORTEDLY DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THE OVERFLOW VALUE IN THE FILLER TUBE. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, APPROXIMATELY 1/4 OF GASOLINE WILL FLOW OUT OF THE TANK BEFORE THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF. THIS HAS EXPOSED ME TO GASOLINE ON MY SKIN, AS WELL AS SPILLED FUEL ON THE GROUND. THERE IS RISK DUE TO EXPOSURE TO ETHANOL AND OTHER CHEMICALS, ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE WITH GASOLINE ON THE GROUND, AND FIRE RISK.
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2006 Dodge Viper and Jeep Wrangler and Liberty vehicles manufactured July 1, 2005, to July 31, 2006. In the affected vehicles, the springs within the clutch pedal position switch that prevents the vehicle from starting unless the clutch pedal is pushed down may break. As a result, the vehicle may not be started when the clutch pedal is pushed down or the engine may crank and start without the clutch pedal being pushed down causing the vehicle to unexpectedly lurch.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER LINKAGE ROD FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 7, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT DAIMLERCHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403.
