FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH GAS SHOOTING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK PRIOR TO THE FUEL PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTTING OFF. THIS WAS REPEATED AT EVERY FILL UP AT NUMEROUS GAS STATIONS. FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS I CAN NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK WITHOUT THE FUEL NOZZLE REPEATEDLY SHUTTING OFF. I CAN ONLY ADD FUEL AT AN EXTREMELY SLOW PACE OR NOT AT ALL. IT HAS BECOME SO BAD THAT I NOW CARRY A GAS CAN, IT'S FASTER TO FILL THE CAN THEN POUR IT IN THE TANK! TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
JUST BOUGHT THE JEEP LATE SEPTEMBER AND EVERYTIME I FILL IT THE GAS SPILLS OUT ALL OVER ME, THE JEEP AND THE GROUND. ITS NOT ALWAYS RELIABLE TO GUESS WHEN IT IS CLOSE TO DONE SO I TEND TO STAND BACK SO IT MISSES ME. STILL GAS GOES EVERYWHERE WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHER JEEP OWNERS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND THE PRICE TO FIX IT HAS DOUBLED. THE JEEP DEALER TELLS ME THAT THEY COVER THE FIX FOR 2007 AND 2008 BUT NOT 2006. REALLY? WHY WOULD THAT BE?

MY FUEL TANK STARTED OVERFLOWING AROUND 40,000 MILES. IT WILL NO LONGER FORCE THE FUEL NOZZLE TO SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. INSTEAD IT OVERFILLS AND SPEWS ON THE GROUND, MY JEEP, AND ME. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND REALIZED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEPS IN MY YEAR RANGE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, WHETHER THE HOSE NOZZLE IS OPERATED MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY, GAS SPURTS FROM THE TANK SPRAYING OUT 18"-24". THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY REGARDLESS OF PUMPING SPEED/PRESSURE, AMBIENT TEMPERATURE/WEATHER CONDITIONS OR BRAND OF GASOLINE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY ISSUES REGARDING FIRE AND FUMES AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE'S PAINT AND PLASTIC FENDERS. I HAVE HAD CLOTHING RUINED BY THE SPURTING GASOLINE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL FILLER ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER DOES NOT PREVENT THE FUEL FROM SPILLING WHEN I FILL MY FUEL TANK. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY TIME (100%) I REFUEL. THE PROBLEM OCCURS NO MATTER HOW SLOWLY I FILL THE TANK. *TR SPRAYING GASOLINE IS DANGEROUS AND TOXIC. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP.

OVERSPILL DURING REFUELING, EVERY TIME. FUEL DOES NOT STOP AUTOMATICALLY AND OVERFLOWS (SPEWS) OUT ONTO SIDE OF VEHICLE, ONTO PAVEMENT AND ALSO ONTO DRIVER'S CLOTHES. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT NUMEROUS DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND PUMPS. THIS PRESENTS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF THE FUEL IS IGNITED. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I'M WRITING THE NHTSA TO PROVIDE MY EXPERIENCE WITH A GAS OVERFLOW ISSUE ON MY 2006 JEEP UNLIMITED. WITHOUT FAIL, AT EACH FILL-UP, THE GAS NOZZLE WILL ALLOW GAS TO BACKFLOW OUT OF THE FILLER NECK, PAST THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM AND SPRAY OUTWARD AND DRAIN DOWN THE CAR. IN MOST CASES, AS MUCH AS 1.5-2 QUARTS OF GASOLINE IS SPEWING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. IN ALMOST ALL CASES, EMPLOYEES FROM THE STATION MUST COME OUT AND COMPLETE REMEDIATION EFFORTS TO ABSORB THE SPILLED GAS. IN MOST CASES, I RECEIVE A GOOD DOUSING OF GAS ON MY HANDS AND CLOTHES. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO AGE, NOT MILES, THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT I WILL NEED TO PAY UPWARDS OF $1,000 FOR A NEW GAS TANK WITH THE SAME FAULTY CHECK-VALVE DESIGN. I UNDERSTAND THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THAT THEY STATE THE CAUSE TO BE FROM A SWOLLEN CHECK-VALVE RELATED TO ETHANOL GAS. I AM AT A LOSS AS TO HOW TO PROCEED AND AM LOOKING FOR THE NHTSA TO STEP IN AND FORCE A RECALL. *TR

EVERY TIME I GET GAS AT THE PUMP, AT THE END OF FILLING THE TANK IT GUSHES OUT A TON OF GASOLINE ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY JEEP, ALL OVER THE PUMP/HANDLE ITSELF, CREATING A DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME. I'VE READ ONLINE IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE BUT HASN'T YET HAD A RECALL OR A FIX? SO AM FILING IN HOPES OF A FIX FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I'VE ALSO READ THERE IS SOME KIND OF FIX BUT IT MAY BE COSTLY. BUT IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS RESOLVED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RETRACT, AND COULD NOT BE UTILIZED.

WHEN I AM FILLING UP MY GAS TANK AT THE GAS STATION, THE TANK OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND AND ON THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I CANNOT FILL THE TANK UNTIL THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF THE GAS BECAUSE IT IS FULL. I MUST ESTIMATE ABOUT HOW FULL THE GAS TANK IS, AND STOP IT BEFORE IT IS FULL. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF I LEAVE THE NOZZLE CLICKED ONTO SELF PUMP OR IF I AM TRYING TO TOP IT OFF, THERE IS NOTHING THAT SENSORS THAT IT IS FULL SO IT SPILLS OVER. *TR

SUSPENSION
I AM A SECOND OWNER OF A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. AFTER PURCHASING THE JEEP, I EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS IS WHEN THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE OF THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION GOES INTO AN UNDRIVABLE WOBBLE. TO RECOVER YOU EITHER TAKE YOUR FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR OR ATTEMPT TO BRAKE. THERE ARE YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING THIS OCCURRING. I TOOK THE JEEP TO A SHOP WHERE THE OWNER HAD A JEEP AND KNEW ABOUT THE "DEATH WOBBLE". HE ALIGNED THE VEHICLE AND INSPECTED ALL THE FRONT END SUSPENSION PARTS. THIS DID NOT HELP. HE BALANCED ALL THE TIRES. THIS HELPED FOR BUT THE WOBBLE RETURNED. AFTER RETURNING TO THE SERVICE SHOP THE OWNER REPLACED THE CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS. THIS HELPED FOR 2-3 DAYS. NOW THE DEATH WOBBLE IS BACK. THE JEEP IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
