SUSPENSION
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN A ROAD BUMP WAS DRIVEN OVER OR WHEN THE BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD WOBBLE ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT END STABILIZER AND SHOCKS, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

2006 JEEP WRANGLER. NOT LIFTED. SEVERE "DEATH WOBBLE" BETWEEN APPROX. 40-50 MPH. THIS ISSUE IS PREVALENT AND DANGEROUS ENOUGH TO WARRANT RECALL. JEEP SHOULD FIX THIS DESIGN ISSUE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE LOSS OF LIFE OCCURS. THE NHTSA MUST FORCE THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY, AS JEEP HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE DESIGN FLAW SINCE APPROXIMATELY 1997. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED/RESOLVED? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK WITH GASOLINE, IT SPEWS OUT AND RUNS OUT ON THE GROUND AND DOWN THE VEHICLE SIDE. THIS DID NOT OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, IT STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TWO YEARS OLD. IT DOES, HOWEVER, HAPPEN EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK, NOW. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS NOT ONLY A FIRE HAZARD, BUT A BIG ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS JUST STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE WHERE THE GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILL NECK BEFORE THE PUMP HANDLE CLICKS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED THE LAST 3 TIMES I HAVE FILLED UP. THIS IS AT A STATION WHERE I HAVE FILLED UP MANY TIMES WITHOUT INCIDENT. NOT ONLY DOES THIS GET GAS ON MY VEHICLE AND PERSON, THIS SPILLS GAS ALL OVER THE PUMP HANDLE AND GROUND AT THE STATION. THIS IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE TO MYSELF, DAMAGING TO MY VEHICLES PAINT, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY DANGEROUS. I HAVE READ OF A LARGE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WITH THIS ISSUE ON THEIR JEEP VEHICLES. I WOULD EXPECT JEEP WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE DANGEROUS, WASTEFUL, AND SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE CONDITION. FOR ME PERSONALLY, I DON'T EXPECT THAT WITH 46K MILES ON MY JEEP THAT THIS SHOULD HAPPEN, AND BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER TO FIX. I HOPE THAT THERE CAN BE SOME ACTION TAKEN TO HOLD JEEP RESPONSIBLE, AND REMEDY THIS (COMMON) ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

FUEL SPRAY FROM FILLING VEHICLE UP. DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS ALL PRODUCE THE SAME RESULT. IF I SET THE AUTO FILL ON THE PUMP OR IF I HOLD THE PUMP HANDLE, FUEL WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILL NECK AND ONTO THE VEHICLE, GROUND OR MYSELF. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN IT NEARS FULL SPLASHING EVERYTHING WITHIN A FOOT OF THE CAR INCLUDING AT TIMES MYSELF. THIS HAPPENS EACH AND EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL UP. I ALWAYS HAVE TO TRY TO STOP THE PUMP BEFORE IT'S FULL. IF I SO CHOOSE TO TRY TO FILL THE TANK I HAVE TO TRY TO LISTEN TO DETERMINE WHEN THE GAS MIGHT SPEW BACK OUT ON ME AND LET ME TELL YOU THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT A FOOL PROOF METHOD AS I'VE BEEN SPRAYED WITH GAS NUMEROUS TIMES TRYING THIS METHOD. IF I TRY TO FILL THE TANK AND STAND AWAY FROM THE TANK SO AS TO MISS THE SPRAY THEN GAS SPEWS EVERYWHERE; ON THE GROUND, BACK ON THE GAS PUMP ITSELF, AND DOWN THE SIDE OF MY CAR; WHICH BY THE WAY DAMAGES THE PAINT. THIS IS A HUGE DANGER NOT ONLY TO MYSELF BUT TO OTHERS AS WELL. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER OFFERED A RECALL ON OTHER YEARS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT ON THIS MODEL YEAR. THEY'VE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE IN THEIR JEEPS SO WHY NOT OFFER A RECALL ON ALL YEARS WITH THIS PROBLEM? I'M SORELY DISAPPOINTED THAT CHRYSLER CARES SO LITTLE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY AND EVEN THE SAFETY OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC SINCE THEY COULD BE AFFECTED BY THE SPEWING GAS AS WELL. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. *TT

EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN THE CAR, FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILLER HOLE ALL OVER THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN FILLING GAS TANKS FOR 40 YEARS AND I KNOW ALL THE TRICKS. I DO NOT TOP OFF AND AM CAREFUL TO REDUCE FLOW WHEN I THINK IT IS NEAR THE TOP. DOESN'T MATTER. IT SPILLS OUT ANYWAY. AT EVERY GAS STATION. *TR

FUEL TANK CONSISTENTLY OVERFILLS. PROBLEMS CAUSES GASOLINE TO OVERFILL THE TANK AND FLOW DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND COLLECT IN A POOL. THIS PROBLEM INITIALLY STARTED SLOWLY BUT NOW OCCURS CONSISTENTLY AT ALL GASOLINE STATIONS. BASED ON OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS EXPERIENCE THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

2006 JEEP WRANGLER THAT HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH OVERFLOWING FUEL WHILE FILLING IT UP SINCE ACQUIRED AT 7,000 MILES.

TRAVELING AT 55 MPH HIT A SLIGHT BUMP ON THE ROAD AND THE FRONT END STARTED WOBBLE FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK SIDE TO SIDE VERY QUICKLY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS TO STOP WAS TO SLOW DOWN TO A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH.
