FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY JEEP WRANGLER GAS SHOOTS OUT AND SPILLS ALL OVER MY FENDER AND GROUND, I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY CAR DO THIS EVER AND I KNOW IT'S A DEFECT THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF AND WON'T FIX THEM UNDER WARRANTY WHICH THEY SHOULD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

STEERING, SUSPENSION
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

SUSPENSION
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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.

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL SPRAY/OVERFLOW WHEN REFUELING. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS! WHEN REFUELING, THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT BLOWBACK OR A VERY HEAVY MIST WHICH SATURATED MY SHIRT AND PANTS WITH GAS. FUEL THEN BEGAN TO RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP, ONTO THE GROUND. THIS OCCURRED SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE AUTO SHUTOFF FUNCTION OF THE PUMP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHENEVER I ADD GASOLINE (FROM ANY STATION), A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF FUEL WILL SLOSH BACK OUT OF THE FILLER RIGHT BEFORE THE PUMP KICKS OFF. CHECKING WITH THE DEALER AND OTHER SOURCES, IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM. HOWEVER, JEEP IS ONLY CONCERNED WITH FIXING THE 2007 AND NEWER JK MODELS. THEIR FIX FOR THOSE MODELS IS AN EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY. MY OTHER SOURCES SAY THAT IT'S RAMPANT IN YEARS PRIOR AS WELL. THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER SAYS IT'S THE "ROLLOVER VALVE" THAT GOES BAD. THE VALVE ISN'T REPAIRABLE. THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK NEEDS REPLACED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE HOOD, BOTH SAFETY LATCHES FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE HOOD LATCH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK EVERY TIME THE FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER NOZZLE BEFORE THE PUMP CAN AUTO SHUTOFF. EVERY TIME - THIS CAUSES GAS TO LEAK DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ON ME BEFORE I LEARNED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING IS TO NOT FILL UP ALL THE WAY WITH GAS. OTHERWISE IT DOES THIS EVERY SINGLE FILL UP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY JEEP STARTED TAKING FOR EVER TO FILL AND SHOOTS GAS OUT ALL OVER ME AND THE GROUND... I HAVE TO STAND A THERE AND BARELY LET THE GAS TRICKLE INTO THE TANK AND I CANNOT EVEN SET IT ON THE LOWEST LEVER FOR HANDLE IT TAKES ME ABOUT 20 MIN TO PUT 40.00 DOLLARS WORTH OF GAS IN IT,,,, THE DEALER SAID THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY... THEY ALSO TOLD ME TO CHECK FUEL FILLER PIPE FOR OBSTRUCTIONS AND TO PULL OUR MY VAPOR CANISTER AND CLEAN IT.... I DID BOTH AND IT DIDN'T FIX A THING..IM ALSO UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM..... I WORKED FOR CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS FOR YEARS AND REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WONT TAKE ANY ACTIONS.... I BOUGHT THIS JEEP BRAND NEW FROM WHERE I WAS WORKING AT... IT WAS MY DREAM VEHICLE... NOW IM NOT SO SURE... *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN ADDING FUEL TO THE 2006 JEEP WRANGLER EITHER WITH AN AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF PUMP OR BY HAND THE FUEL OVER SPRAYS OUT OF THE NOZZLE HOLE WHEN THE TANK BECOMES FULL. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED YOU ADD FUEL SPILLING GAS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ON THE PERSON ADDING THE FUEL, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND AT THE GAS STATION. THIS MOST LIKELY IS CAUSED BUT VACUUM PRESSURE NOT BEING RELEASED CORRECTLY BY THE FUEL INLET HOSE AND WOULD BE A DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE FLAW. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE VEHICLE UP WITH GAS, GAS COMES POURING OUT OF THE FILLER OPENING. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL TYPES OF GAS PUMPS. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TANK OF VENTING SYSTEM BECAUSE THE PUMPS NEVER AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. GAS SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE CAR. MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM.

GAS TANK OVER FLOW EVERY TIME I FILL MY WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH GAS. JEEP SAYS ONLY 07 AND 08 ARE RECALLED NOT 06.THEY DON'T THINK A QUART OF GAS ALL OVER THE JEEP AND THE GROUND, HELLO, IS A PROBLEM, WOW UNREAL. MAYBE E.P.A SHOULD CARE. APPARENTLY ALL 05 AN 06 WRANGLERS WERE NOT RECALLED OUTRAGEOUS!!! JEEP AND THE E.P.A SHOULD CARE A LOT MORE ABOUT OUR ENVIRONMENT!! ITS DISGUSTING AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. PS I BOUGHT MY JEEP USED PREVIOUS OWNER NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT FROM WHAT I READ ALL DO THE SAME. *TR

GAS STILL OUT WHEN FILLING UP GAS TANK. THE SYSTEM DOESN'T STOP AT GAS PUMPS ALL OTHER CARS EVER DRIVEN. GAS ALWAYS STILLS OUT BEFORE IT STOPS THE PUMP. THIS OCCURS AT ALL PUMPS AND APPEARS TO BE A COMMON AND ONGOING ISSUE WITH JEEP OWNERS. *TR
