SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING
FOR ME, THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT RESULTED IN A CRASH OR INJURY. HOWEVER IT COULD LEAD TO THE ABOVE IF NOT RESOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURE. PROBLEM IS, WHEN DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER AND A BUMP IS ENCOUNTERED, SUCH AS A POT HOLE, A MAN HOLE COVER, EXPANSION JOINTS ETC. THE FRONT WHEELS GO IN TO A VERY SEVERE LEFT TO RIGHT OSCILLATION. TO RECOVER FROM THIS ONE MUST COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. A LITTLE HARD TO DO AT 60MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. CHRYSLER SAYS THAT THE FIX IS A NEW STEERING DAMPER, AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AMONG THE JEEP COMMUNITY, CALLED "THE DEATH WOBBLE".I BELIEVE THIS IS TOO MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO RESOLVE AT THEIR EXPENSE VIA A RECALL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON AND EVERYTIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION THE FUEL OVERFLOWS AND COMES BACK OUT ONTO THE JEEP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT ITS A COMMON OCCURRENCE THERE SHOULD BE A TSB ISSUED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING
CAR HAS A BAD CLUNKING NOISE IN THE STEERING BOX. ONLY HAS 15000 ON THE VEHICLE, MANY OTHER PEOPLE I HAVE TALKED TO ON JEEPFORUM.COM HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE YOU HEAR A CONSTANT CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END, ALWAYS BEING TRACED BACK TO THE STEERING BOX. ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS ARE IN PERFECT SHAPE, AS TOLD BY A MECHANIC. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE AND AS HE ATTEMPTED TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REMOVED BY HIS PERSONAL MECHANIC IN ORDER TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH COULD NOT BE REPLACED AS ONE UNIT BUT THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90, 0000. UPDATED 02/7/11

STEERING
DRIVING A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED AT SPEEDS FROM 45-55 MPH CAUSES DEATH WOBBLE WHERE THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND STEERING IS UNABLE TO BE CONTROLLED. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT; YET, IF YOU GOOGLE THE PROBLEM IT IS SERIOUS AND RAMPANT. HAPPENS EVERY TIME THAT SPEEDS REACH 45-55 MPH. UPDATED IVOQ 10/22/10 *TR

STEERING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 JEEP WRANGLER -- BOUGHT USED WITH LESS THAN 30K MILES ON IT. WOBBLE AT ABOUT 55MPH, INTERMITTENTLY. MINE WAS SOLVED BY REPLACING THE STABILIZER BAR, HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH TIRES, ALTHOUGH THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I THOUGHT I HAD BLOWN A TIRE. GAS TANK FILLING -- SAME PROBLEM, THE PUMP DOESN'T SHUT OFF UNLESS YOU PUMP THE GAS SLOWLY. FIRST FEW TIMES, SPEWED GAS ALL OVER THE JEEP, MYSELF AND THE PAVEMENT. NOW I LISTEN AS THE TANK FILLS AND SLOW THE FILL AS I KNOW IT'S STARTING TOWARDS FULL. WITH THE SLOWING, THE PUMP DOES SHUT OFF BUT IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE SOME IDEA HOW MUCH GAS THE TANK WILL TAKE AT CERTAIN FUEL READINGS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STEERING, TIRES, SUSPENSION:FRONT
I BOUGHT A USED 2006 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE FOUR TIMES FOR EXCESSIVE SHAKING WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS AROUND 50 MPH. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES UNTIL I EITHER SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN. THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTROL THE JEEP WHILE IT IS SHAKING! I HAVE HAD ALL THE "POSSIBLE CAUSES" CHECKED, REPLACED OR BALANCED INCLUDING: TIRES, FRONT END ALIGNMENT, SHOCKS, STABILIZER, BRAKES, ROTORS (TWICE). THE SHAKING MAY GO AWAY FOR A SHORT TIME BUT THEN RETURNS. (THIS WRANGLER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE BRAKE RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR.) *TR

JUST PURCHASED A USED 06 JEEP WRANGLER IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH 16000+ MILES, TOOK IT TO FILL IT UP AND GAS RAN OUT ON MY FIRST FILL UP. NOW I HAVE TO ESTIMATE HOW MUCH GAS I NEED AND WHEN I GET THE THAT AMOUNT, I SLOWLY FILL THE TANK TO FULL. (8/100 *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION THE PUMP WILL OVERFLOW IF I'M FILLING UP THE TANK. THE PUMP DOESN'T STOP UNLESS I PULL THE NOZZLE OUT AT WHICH POINT GAS WILL SPILL ALL OVER THE REAR FLARE AND PAINT. IT HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS. THIS IS IN MY OPINION A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. IT APPEARS CHRYSLER IS GOING TO WAIT FOR AN IGNITION SOURCE TO BE AROUND FOR SOMEONE TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE BEFORE THEY RESOLVE THIS. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2006 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT BRAKE ROTORS: WARPED AT 6K MILES, TURNED BY DEALER, 8K MILES, ROTORS REPLACED, 15K ROTORS TURNED BY INDEPENDENT SHOP, 20K ROTORS REPLACED - AND DIAGNOSTICS SHOP FOUND THAT THE PROPORTIONAL VALVE WAS NOT SET PROPERLY, LEAVING FRONT BRAKES TO DO 75 PERCENT OF STOPPING, CAUSING EXCESSIVE HEAT/WARP. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED VIOLENT SHAKING OF JEEP DURING SLOW DOWN - I NEARLY LOST CONTROL ON MANY OCCASIONS - VERY VERY DANGEROUS. NOW I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE - STEERING IS DANGEROUS AT 52 MPH LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS VEHICLE HAS 25,700 MILES ON IT. DON'T BUY JEEP, DON'T BUY DANGEROUS. *TR
