2006 Jeep Wrangler

2006 JEEP WRANGLER. CONSUMER STATES CLUTCH PEDAL SNAPPED. THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE CLUTCH SNAPPED AND DANGLED. THE CLUTCH HYDRAULIC UNIT ACTUATING ROD HAD SNAPPED IN TWO. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER CONTACTED HIM AND STATED THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED IN AUGUST 2006. THE CONSUMER STATED HE FORGOT THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. BUT APPARENTLY, THE CLUTCH HYDRAULIC UNIT THAT WAS INSTALLED UNDER THE RECALL IS ALSO DEFECTIVE. *JB

1. FUELING THE VEHICLE. 2. WHEN FUELLING MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, GASOLINE WILL ABRUPTLY BACKFLOW OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND SPRAY ALL OVER AS THE TANK GETS CLOSE TO BEING FULL. IT HAPPENS SO QUICKLY AND VIOLENTLY THAT THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON THE GAS HOSE DOES NOT STOP IT. THIS WILL HAPPEN ANY TIME I ATTEMPT TO FILL THE TANK TO FULL. CONSEQUENCES: AS A RESULT, I HAVE HAD GASOLINE SPRAYED ALL OVER ME NUMEROUS TIMES INCLUDING GETTING IT IN MY EYES. ALSO, GASOLINE GETS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND LEAVES PUDDLES OF GAS ON THE GROUND CREATING A FIRE HAZARD. I MUST STOP FUELLING BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. OVERALL THIS IS A LIFE SAFETY HAZARD AND I FEEL IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

MY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ON MY 2006 JEEP UNLIMITED LJ HAS CAUSED MY JEEP CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND TO HAVE MISFIRE CODES, TRANSMISSION FAILURE CODES, AND EMISSION SENSOR CODES, CAUSING MY JEEP TO RUN ROUGH AND MAY CAUSE FURTHER DAMAGE TO MY MOTOR IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. THE CODES PRODUCED, DOES NOT POINT OUT MY THAT MY CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS THE PROBLEM BUT MASKS THE PROBLEM WITH OTHER SENSOR CODES.THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE AND THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T EVEN TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY JEEP AND SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO JUST START WITH ONE THING AND KEEP REPLACING PARTS TILL THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. I AM STILL TRYING TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED AND I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED WITH A REPUTABLE JEEP MECHANIC AT A SPECIALTY JEEP SHOP TO TRY AND FIX THE PROBLEM THIS WEDNESDAY 8/4/2010. HOPEFULLY MY ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN DAMAGED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS FULLY AWARE OF! MY MILEAGE IS IN THE 76,000 MILE RANGE AND I DO NOT KNOW IF MY DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY COVERS THIS. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER X, THE TANK OVERFLOWS A FEW CUPS OF GASOLINE OUT OF THE FILLER OPENING AFTER THE PUMP HANDLE SHUTS OFF. THIS RESULTS IN GASOLINE POURING ONTO THE PAVEMENT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP - AND ALSO SOMETIMES ONTO MY FEET! THIS IS NOW A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH MANY JEEPS, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY! I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF GAS STATION OWNERS START BANNING JEEPS FROM FILLING UP, SINCE THE JEEPS ARE CAUSING GASOLINE TO BE SPILLED ONTO GAS STATION PAVEMENT ON A REGULAR BASIS! *TR

SEVERE VIBRATION IN FRONT WHEELS/STEERING AT 55 MPH. CEASES AS SPEED IS INCREASED PAST 60 MPH OR DECREASED.. TIRE BALANCE AND ALIGNMENT HAVE NO EFFECT. VEHICLE IS TOTALLY STOCK AND HAS APROX. 26,000 MILES. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. VIBRATION IS SEVERE ENOUGH TO ALMOST CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST YEAR. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL THE FUEL TANK ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER IT SPLASHES FUEL OUT UPON REACHING FULL. THIS IS NOT JUST A LITTLE FUEL, BUT A LOT. IT SURGES OUT ALL DOWN THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. I'VE CONTACTED MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY SAY IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MY TYPE OF VEHICLE AND THERE CURRENTLY IS NO FIX. THEY SUGGEST NOT FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY FULL. THIS IS HARD TO ACCOMPLISH BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL WHEN THE TANK IS GETTING FULL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND ENVIRONMENTALLY UNFRIENDLY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED! *TR

I OWN A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A VIOLENT SHAKE OR ALSO KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE SINCE 2009. LATELY, IT HAS GOTTEN FAR WORSE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AT THE FIRST SIGNS OF THE PROBLEM, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE TIRES AND THAT THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME. I CALLED BACK SEVERAL TIMES AFTER I GOT THE TIRES, BUT THE MANAGER ALWAYS HAD AN EXCUSE. SO, NO I DID NOT GET REIMBURSED. THE TIRES FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT NOW IT'S BACK AND WORSE THAN EVER. IT STARTS THE DEATH WOBBLE AT AROUND 55MPH, IT IS SO VIOLENT THAT IT TAKES EVERYTHING I HAVE JUST TO KEEP CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN GET IT TO STOP IS TO EITHER SPEED UP TO 60 OR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION FROM NHTSA BEFORE A DEATH OCCURS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO WORK, APPROX. 15 MILES, AND PARKED. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE TO GO TO LUNCH, THE CLUTCH PEDAL SNAPPED AND DANGLED. THE CLUTCH HYDRAULIC UNIT ACTUATING ROD HAD SNAPPED IN TWO. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE REPLACEMENT PART HAVE TO BE ORDERED AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE REPAIRED UNTIL NEXT WEEK. I HAVE REQUESTED THE DEALER TO KEEP THE OLD PART FOR ME. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN THE MORNING OR LUNCH TIME TRAFFIC I HAVE NO DOUBT IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH THE 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND DECELERATED VERY QUICKLY. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. THE RPMS DROPPED TO AROUND 1500, PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DID NOTHING TO INCREASE THE RPMS. I HAD TO PULL OVER OUT OF TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP IN JULY 2009. JEEP REPLACED ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO INCLUDE THE MAIN COMPUTER AT THE TIME. THEY SAID THAT THEY FOUND A SENSOR THAT WAS BAD. THE REPAIRS LASTED FOR ABOUT 10 MONTH AND THEN IT DID IT AGAIN IN MAY OF 2010. JEEP HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 7 WEEKS TRYING BEFORE THEY GOT IT REPAIRED THE FIRST TIME. THE LAST TIME IT TOOK 2 WEEKS TO REPAIR IT. *TR
