2006 Jeep Wrangler

THE DW'S, A DEFECT JEEP REFUSES TO ADDRESS. TELL ME WHERE JEEP HAS PUBLICLY ADDRESSED THIS WIDE AND WELL KNOWN PROBLEM FOR THEIR CONSUMERS. ENOUGH WITH THE BAND-AIDS!! BECAUSE I DID NOT BRING MY JEEP IN FOR A 30,000 ML CHECK UP (EVENTHOUGH I WAS ONLY AT 28,000) MY DEALER TOLD ME MY WARRANTY WOULD BE NULL AND VOID. ALTHOUGH, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE ENGINE HAD TO DO WITH THE STEERING, I WAS UNABLE TO GET HIM TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM ANY FURTHER. "ROTATE YOUR TIRES FOR YOU, THAT'S ALL I CAN DO" WAS WHAT I WAS TOLD. SO, AFTER THROWING MONEY AT MY JEEP TO TRY AND FIX IT THIS WAY OR THAT WAY (BTW MY JEEP IS ENTIRELY STOCK) THE ONLY THING I'VE FOUND TO RID THE PROBLEM IS TO REPLACE MY TIRES EVERY 25,000 ML OR SO AND ROTATE EVERY 5,000 ML. SO, IF YOU DON'T MIND BUYING NEW TIRES EVERY TWO YEARS OR SO, PROBLEM SOLVED. IF THIS A PROBLEM JEEP IS TELLING YOU THAT YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH SUCK IT!

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 TO 50 MPH HE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A VIOLENT SHAKE IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE SHAKING BECAME SO EXCESSIVE THAT IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO MOVE INTO THE NEXT LANE DUE TO THE DRIVER NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL IT. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO ADVISED HIM THAT THE SHAKING MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TIRE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE TIRES AND PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT. WITHIN 10,000 MILES OF HAVING THE ALIGNMENT DONE AND THE TIRES CHANGED THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 15,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE PURCHASED A USED 2006 JEEP WRANGLER FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AROUND TWO YEARS AGO, AND WITHIN THE PAST YEAR I HAVE NOTICED GAS GUSHES OUT OF MY FUEL TANK EVERY TIME I GET FUEL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS ATTENDANT, AS IT IS ILLEGAL IN NJ TO PUMP YOUR OWN FUEL, HOWEVER THIS IS NOW OCCURRING EVERYTIME. I AM WORRIED MY PAINT WILL BECOME RUINED OR MY CAR MIGHT CATCH ON FIRE IF IT IS TOO HOT. I ALSO DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO PUMP MY OWN GAS AND I DON'T NEED THIS PROBLEM TO CAUSE MORE ISSUES DOWN THE ROAD SINCE THE SPILLED GAS HAS ALREADY DISCOLORED MY STOCK FENDER FLARE. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND ONCE THE GAS SPILLS OVER MAKING EVERYTHING ON THE INSIDE REEK OF FUMES. *TR

SUMMARY:EACH TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED, GASOLINE GUSHES OUT THE FILL SPOUT ON TO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND OR PAVEMENT. THIS CAN NOT BE AVOIDED IF COMPLETELY FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL. FUEL TANK CAN ONLY PARTIALLY BE FILLED. THIS PROBLEM POSES AN EXTREME FIRE DANGER TO ANY PERSON FILLING THE FUEL TANK. SURE HOPE THAT SOMEONE DON'T DIE IN ORDER FOR SOMETHING TO ACTUALLY GET DONE! *TR

WHEN REFUELING MY 2006 WRANGLER JEEP GAS SURGES OUT OF THE TANK PRIOR TO THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF. I HAVE NOT MEASURED THE AMOUNT SPILLED BUT IT IS ENOUGH TO CREATE APPROXIMATELY A 24-36" DIAMETER WET SPOT ON THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL MY VEHICLE NO MATTER WHICH FILLING STATION I USE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD CONSIDERING IT SPLASHES ON MY ARM AND CLOTHING IF I AM HOLDING ONTO THE PUMP HANDLE OR STANDING WITHIN ARMS REACH OF THE NOZZLE AND THE SPILLED FUEL IS BECOMING A GROUND OR WATER CONTAMINATE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AS IT IS SOAKED UP OR WASHES AWAY.

WHEN FUELING THE THE TANK BURPS FUEL OUT THE VEHICLE FILL TUBE AFTER THE FILL NOZZLE HAS SHUT OFF. THIS OCCURS OFTEN. AT FIRST OCCURRENCE I ASSUMED THAT THE FLOW INTO THE TANK WAS TOO FAST, AND BEGAN SLOW FILLING TO PREVENT IT THIS INITIALLY HAS SOME SUCCESS, AS IT DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME. THE PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE, AND NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME EVEN WHEN FILLING SLOW.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. EVERYTIME I FUEL MY VEHICLE AT THE PUMP, FUEL WILL SPEW OUT BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT AND BLAMED IT ON ME BASICALLY. I STARTED PUTTING THE FUEL IN SLOWER AND IT WORKS MOST OF THE TIME BUT SOMETIMES I STILL WILL HAVE FUEL SPEW OUT BEFORE THE PUMP CLICKS OFF, NO MATTER HOW SLOW I TRY. SEARCHING ONLINE FORUMS, I HAVE FOUND OUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, ON THE CONTRARY THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM, BETWEEN 97-06 TJ JEEP WRANGLER MODELS. *TR

MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER HAS DEVELOPED A CONSISTENT FAILURE TO STOP PUMPS AT GAS STATIONS FROM CONTINUING TO PUMP FUEL EVEN THOUGH THE TANK IS FULL. AS A RESULT, GASOLINE IS SPAT OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK OF THE GAS TANK LIKE A BURST FROM A FOUNTAIN, SPLASHING OUT ON THE GROUND, ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, AND GENERALLY ON ME, THE OPERATOR OF THE GAS PUMP. IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, AND IT NOW EXHIBITS THIS BEHAVIOR CONSISTENTLY EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THIS IS A PROBLEM NOT ONLY DUE TO THE CUMULATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF SPILLING OUT RAW GASOLINE AND OF RUINING CLOTHING AND RESULTING IN CARRYING WITH ME THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE ALL DAY AT WORK AND AT HOME, BUT IT IS ALSO A CLEAR AND APPALLING SAFETY HAZARD WITH RAW GASOLINE SPLASHED AROUND. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS RECOMMENDED A VERY COSTLY REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE GAS TANK ASSEMBLY AT MY OWN EXPENSE AND HAS SAID THAT THIS WILL ONLY TEMPORARILY RELIEVE THE SYMPTOMS, THAT THE DESIGN HAS NOT CHANGED AND THUS THE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO RESURFACE. *TR
