FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING JEEP WRANGLER, THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUTOFF FEATURE OF PUMP DOES NOT WORK, AND GAS SPRAYS OUT BRIEFLY BEFORE SHUTTING OFF, SPILLING ON VEHICLE, OPERATOR, AND GROUND. I HAVE HAD TANK REPLACED BY DEALER AT 50,000 MILES, COST OF $350 TO ME. I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE CLOSED THE INVESTIGATION INTO THIS, AND IF SO, YOU ARE TRULY INCOMPETENT IDIOTS (I'M SORRY, BUT COME ON). THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WITH SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVE IMPACT! EVEN THOUGH I HAVE REPLACED MY TANK AT SOME PERSONAL EXPENSE, I BELIEVE THAT IT IS WITH THE SAME PRODUCT, AND I FULLY EXPECT IT TO FAIL AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. WOULDN'T YOU EXPECT A MODERN VEHICLE, EVEN A "SIMPLE" ONE TO BE ABLE TO FILL WITHOUT GETTING GAS ON YOURSELF, THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND?!!! PLEASE CONSIDER RE-OPENING THE CASE; THE IDEA THAT THE INTERNET CREATED THIS PROBLEM IS RIDICULOUS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
JEEP SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AT FREEWAY SPEED. ALMOST GOT CREAMED BY SEMI. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER ON SHOULDER, RESTARTED ENGINE AND LIMPED HOME UNDER 2500 RPM. ANY HIGHER RPM RESULTED IN COMPLETE POWER LOSS. RAN OBD GOT "INTERMITTENT CAM SENSOR". TRIED TO CHANGE SENSOR BUT ASSEMBLY WAS FULL OF METAL SHAVINGS. DID RESEARCH FOUND OUT THAT THE OIL PUMP DRIVE ASSEMBLY IS FAULTY. PART ON BACK ORDER, NO ONE HAS IT. COMMON PROBLEM WITH 05 MODELS DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN. VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN DESTROY ENGINE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
NOTHING LEADING UP TO IT. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK. IT OVERFLOWS ALL OVER THE GROUND. IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP BRAND NEW IN 2006. I HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT EXCEPT NEVER ACTUALLY FILL IT ALL THE WAY I USUALLY STOP ABOUT A GALLON OR TWO SHORT. BUT SOMETIMES DON'T LET GO OF THE PUMP IN TIME AND IT STILL OVERFLOWS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 RUBICON WITH 40K MILES. FUEL SPRAYS OUT FROM THE GASOLINE FILL TUBE AND RUNS DOWN THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE PAVEMENT EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS REFUELED. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE FUEL TANK MUST BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO PAY FOR A NEW FUEL TANK WITH THE SAME DEFECT. THIS IS APPARENTLY A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD IDLE IMPROPERLY AND STALL INTERMITTENTLY. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WOULD ALSO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE OIL PICKUP DRIVE ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED AND WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE; HOWEVER, INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE FAILURE WERE ON BACK ORDER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,556 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A 2006 RHD JEEP WRANGLER I PURCHASED FROM [XXX]. ON 4/01/10. LEMON IS NOT THE WORD. BEFORE DRIVING OFF THE LOT WITH VEH. I NOTICED THE FAN SWITCH FOR THE AC/HEATER ONLY OPERATED ON HIGH SPEED. HOURS LATER THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY REPLACED THE SWITCH FROM SOMEONES PERSONAL VEH. BECAUSE THE SWITCH IS SO HARD TO COME BY APPARENTLY. WITHIN 2 MOS THE SWITCH FOR THE FAN WENT OUT AGAIN. HAD TO WAIT ANOTHER 3 MOS. (ON BACK ORDER) THE GEAR SHIFTER CABLE BROKE NEXT AND HAD CAR TOWED AND REPAIRED. ALSO, IT WAS RUNNING EXTREMELY HOT, I WOULD HAVE TO SHUT VEH. DOWN TO COOL. THEN TO TOP IT OFF ON AUG. 13TH 2010 THE TRANS FELL OUT ON MY WAY TO WORK. I BOUGHT THE VEH ON APR 1ST (FOOLS DAY) AND BOY WAS I FOOLED. I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A DEPENDABLE, RELIABLE VEH. FOR MY JOB, THE POSTAL SVC EVEN GIVES $1000 INCENTIVES FOR THEIR CARRIERS TO BUY JEEPS. BIGGEST MISTAKE I'VE EVER MADE. I COULD OF LOST MY JOB TRYING TO DRIVE THIS JEEP IF MY BOSS HADN'T BEEN UNDERSTANDING ABOUT ALL THE BREAKDOWNS AND DOWNTIMES I HAD. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND A JEEP TO MY WORST ENEMY. JEEP TO ME STANDS FOR JUST EMPTY EACH POCKET. EVEN JEEP WONT STAND BEHIND THEIR VEH. CAN'T BUY EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A RHD JEEP THEY DESIGNED TO DELIVER MAIL IN. IS THAT A JOKE OR WHAT? I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS VEH. AND NOT PAID NEAR THE PRICE I DID FOR THIS JEEP AND THIS HAS TO BE THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. BE SMART DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE I DID. IF YOU DO BUY A JEEP BETTER BUY IT BRAND NEW UNDER WARRANTY CAUSE YOU WILL NEED IT. BIG TIME. AND GET OUT FROM UNDER IT BEFORE THE WARRANTY GOES OUT. THE DEALERSHIP NOR THE MANUFACTURES OF THE JEEP WERE WILLING TO HELP ME AT ALL. I WAS STUCK WITH IT AND NOTHING I COULD DO. I AM JUST NOW (6 MOS. LATER)REBUILDING THE TRANS. I HAD TO HAVE A BREAK FROM IT. I WAS TIRED OF STAYING STRESSED OUT AND UPSET. AS SOON AS IT IS REPAIRED I AM TRADING IT. GET A WARRANTY FOR SURE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, AND ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS, OFTEN SPRAYING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN IT WAS NEW, BUT HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON, GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS. I BELIEVE THIS PRESENTS BOTH A FIRE HAZARD AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD, AND I KNOW THAT MANY OTHER WRANGLER OWNERS HAVE OBSERVED THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED GAS COMES SPILLING BACK OUT AS THE PUMP CUTS OFF. THIS STARTED HAPPENING THIS FALL AND HAS CONTINUED EVERY SINCE. FUEL GETS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, THE GROUND AND WHEN NOT STANDING CLEAR ON MY CLOTHES AND SHOES. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR
