FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 2 DOOR THAT EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK UP AT THE PUMP IT RELEASES A SUBSTANITIAL AMOUNT OF GASOLINE THROUGH THE INLET AS IT IS TURNING THE PUMP OFF. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK AND IS VERY DANGEROUS SEEING AS I GET FUEL ON MY SKIN AND THEN HAVE TO GET IN THE VEHICLE W/ MY 4YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO TO CORRECT THE FAILURE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I TRIED STARTING MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER ONE MORNING AND WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION IT JUST ROLLED OVER. I REMOVER THE LOCK CYLINDER AND TOOK IT TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THEY FOUND THAT THE PIECE CONNECTING THE KEY CYLINDER TO THE SWITCH HAD SNAPPED SOMEHOW. THEY INFORMED ME THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE THIS CHEAP LITTLE PIECE WAS TO BUY A NEW $400 STEERING COLUMN ( NOT INCLUDING LABOR )AND THAT THIS IS THE THIRD ONE IN THE LAST MONTH WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IF THAT DOESN'T WAVE RED FLAGS THEN THEY, JEEP, CERTAINLY HAVE NO CONCERN WITH THE QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON GAS WILL SPRAY OUT ON INITIAL SHUT OFF OF THE GAS PUMP. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM LOOKED AT, BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL FOR THAT TO HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME. THEN, I COMPLAINED TO JEEP AND THEY ALLOWED THE DEALERSHIP TO SWITCH OUT TANKS BECAUSE MY JEEP WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS WAS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX...GAS STILL SPRAYS OUT!!! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY JEEP IS EXPERIENCING PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE OIL PUMP DRIVE ASSEMBLY (OPDA), WITH ONLY 31,000 MILES ON THE JEEP. THE FAILURE WAS NOTICED WHEN A CHIRPING WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE OPDA UPON ENGINE START UP. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO HAD ME GET THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AT A LOCAL JEEP DEALER, WHICH LED TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE OIL PUMP DRIVE GEAR. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DRIVE GEAR DID NOTHING TO ELIMINATE THE CHIRPING. THERE WAS SOME WEAR ON THE DRIVE GEAR WHEN IT WAS REPLACED. A SEARCH ON JEEPFORUM.COM INDICATES THE PROBLEM WITH THE OPDA IS A BUSHING THAT ISN'T GETTING OIL, DUE TO A SEAL THAT IS BLOCKING OIL FLOW. THE PART COMES PACKED WITH GREASE, BUT WHEN IT WEARS OUT THERE IS NO LONGER LUBRICATION. CHRYSLER RELEASED A SERVICE BULLETIN (E05) REFERENCE THIS ISSUE, BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE OPDA IS OF FAULTY DESIGN AND CONTINUES TO SUPPLY FAULTY OPDA'S WHEN A REPLACEMENT IS IN FACT SUPPLIED. A RECALL SHOULD BE IN PLACE, BUT IS NOT. IN FACT CUSTOMERS ARE LUCKY TO GET ANY ASSISTANCE IN COVERING THE COST OF REPAIRS IF THEY ARE NOT THE FIRST OWNER OR ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. THIS PROBLEM PLACES ALL JEEP OWNERS WITH 2005 BUILD DATES AT RISK OF ENGINE FAILURE, DUE TO A KNOWN FAULTY FACTORY PART, WHICH COULD RESULT AT ANYTIME, INCLUDING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS COULD RESULT IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT, FIRE OR BOTH, WHICH IN TURN COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH OF THE OCCUPANTS OF SAID VEHICLES.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL FILLER NECK/GAS TANK ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER HAS FILLING PROBLEMS. ANY TIME I GO TO FILL UP ON GAS THE PUMP DOES NOT CLICK OFF IN TIME AND GAS LITERALLY SHOOTS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ALL OVER THE BUMPER OF THE JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. I HAVEN'T TRIED TO MEASURE THE VOLUME OF GAS THAT SHOOTS OUT EACH TIME, BUT I WOULD ESTIMATE AT LEAST 6-8OZ OF FUEL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DURING FUELING, WHEN THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY STOPS THE FLOW OF GASOLINE , FUEL SURGES BACK THROUGH THE FILLER TUBE AND VIGOROUSLY SPLASHES OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ANYTHING OR PERSON WITHIN 2 TO 3 FEET OF THE FUEL FILLER. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED AND HAS DRENCHED THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE FROM THE WAIST DOWN WITH GASOLINE ON TWO OCCASIONS. HAS SPILLED FUEL ON EVERY FILLUP (AT LEAST ONE CUP), DESPITE PRECAUTIONS (SLOWING FILLING RATE). MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT ON ME AND SURROUNDING AREA WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK. THIS EVENT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. I CANNOT USE THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUTOFF ON THE FUEL NOZZLES AS GAS IS SPILLED (ABOUT .5 CUP) ON THE SURROUNDING AREA. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE IS SPIT BACK OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF RELEASES AND THE TANK IS FULL. IF THE FILLER NOZZLE HAS SPLASH GUARD, SPILLED FUEL RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ON TO THE GROUND. OTHERWISE FUEL IS SHOT OUT UP TO 5 FEET AND COVER ANYTHING OR ANYBODY WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE SPILL. NO REMEDY FOUND, IT ALWAYS HAPPENS. *TR

FUEL SPRAY EVERYTIME I FILL THE VEHICLE. FUEL PUMP DOES NOT SENSE TANK IS FULL AND SPRAYS FUEL EVERYWHERE. WIDELY REPORTED BY FELLOW JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. CHRYSLER DENIES PROBLEM WHILE REPLACING SOME TANKS WITH NEW TANK THAT CONTINUES TO USE FAULTY DESIGN. CURRENTLY THERE IS NO AFTERMARKET HELP OR SUPPORT FOR THIS ISSUE AND CERTAINLY NONE FROM CHRYSLER OR JEEP. *LN

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 JEEP WRANGLER X. WHEN I GO TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK, IF I LET IT FILL TO COMPLETE I GET A HUGE BACK SPRAY OF GASOLINE IN MY FACE, ON MY CAR, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. I HAVE TRIED TO FILL IT UP SLOW, ADJUST THE NECK OF THE FILLER, TAKEN MY JEEP TO A MECHANIC, ALL TO NO AVAIL. IT OCCURS EVERYTIME I GO TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK IF I LET IF FILL COMPLETELY UP. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS THE GAS TANK ITSELF. GASOLINE SPRAYING FROM MY FILLER IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER JEEP CORP. PLEASE CONSIDER THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, THE AUTO SHUTOFF DOESN'T WORK AND SPILLS GAS ALL OVER MY JEEP AND THE GROUND. IT HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION, TEMPERATURE, HOW FAR THE NOZZLE IS PUSHED INTO THE FILLER, ETC. IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP. IT HAS DONE THIS FOR NO APPARENT REASON, SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT WITH ONLY 19K MILES ON IT. I CHECKED THE VENT LINE GOING FROM THE TANK TO THE FILLER NECK, AND ITS FINE. EVENTUALLY THE GAS HAS STARTED TO WEAR AWAY THE PAINT FINISH, AND THE FINISH ON THE FLARE. NOT TO MENTION A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL SPILL. *TR
