FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE FUELING UP MY 2006 JEEP UNLIMITED TJ, THE GAS SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP ONCE IT'S FULL INSTEAD OF TURNING OFF THE PUMP. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE DAY ONE, WHICH MEANS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS MANY OTHER 05 & 06 JEEPS HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DURING REFUELING, AS THE TANK IS ALMOST FULL, GASOLINE SPLASHES OUT (OR ERUPTS) FROM THE FILLER OPENING JUST AFTER THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY HAPPENING SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT. IT HAS HAPPENED IN MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, IN MANY DIFFERENT STATES. CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS 52217. DURING THE FIRST YEAR OR SO, THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT SPLASHED BACK OUT OF THE TANK DEPENDED ON THE GASOLINE FLOW RATE AND SENSITIVITY OF THE PUMP NOZZLE SHUT-OFF MECHANISM. SOMETIMES THE SOUND OF GASOLINE STARTING TO BACK UP IN THE FILLER NECK IS USED TO SHUT-OFF THE PUMP NOZZLE BEFORE THE GASOLINE SPLASHES OUT, BUT OFTEN IT IS TOO NOISY AROUND GAS STATIONS TO HEAR IT AND/OR THE GASOLINE IS FLOWING TOO FAST TO TURN IT OFF IN TIME. IN THE LAST YEAR, HOWEVER, FUEL HAS BEEN SPLASHING OUT JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME THE TANK IS REFUELED. IT SPLASHES OUT ON THE FENDER PANEL UNDER THE FILLER OPENING, ONTO THE UNDERCARRIAGE, AND ON THE GROUND. THIS CREATES A HAZARDOUS, MESSY, AND WASTEFUL SPILL OF GASOLINE. THIS IS PARTICULARLY A BIG PROBLEM IN STATES SUCH AS OR THAT DO NOT LET THE VEHICLE OWNER PUMP THEIR OWN GAS. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
OUR JEEP HAS HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN REACHING APPROXIMATELY 50MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE/OSCILLATE UNCONTROLLABLY TO WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN ITS LANE. THE BRAKES HAVE TO BE PRESSED HEAVILY IN ORDER FOR IT TO STOP AND PRESENTS A CONCERN FOR REAR END COLLISION. TO PREVENT THE WOBBLE FROM HAPPENING, THE VEHICLE HAS TO BE DRIVEN 30MPH BELOW HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT, CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS. JUST EARLIER, THE DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED AND WE VEERED INTO THE NEXT LANE AND ALMOST HIT A CAR. I ALSO SPRAINED MY ARM ONCE WHEN TRYING TO KEEP IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE HAPPENED GOING DOWN HILL. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION, TIRES
I HAVE AN 06 JEEP WRANGLER WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I HAVE REPLACED MY TIRES THREE TIMES. I TOOK MY JEEP AND HAD THREE MECHANICS LOOK IT OVER TODAY, EACH WITH THE SAME RESPONSE, " I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE." I'VE CALLED JEEP SEVERAL TIMES, I REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER AS THEY RECOMMENDED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. *TR

STEERING, WHEELS
MAKE : JEEP MODEL : WRANGLER YEAR : 2006 MANUFACTURER : DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION SERVICE BULLETIN NUM : 1900306 OR 215088 DATE OF BULLETIN: AUG 30, 2006 NHTSA ITEM NUMBER: 10020334 COMPONENT: STEERING SUMMARY: STEERING SHIMMY. [XXX] EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, WHICH HAS ONLY 23K MILES, THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE AND SHIMMER AT 54-55 MILES PER HOUR. MANY TIMES IF THE ROAD IS NOT EVEN I HAVE A FEELING THAT THE JEEP WILL GO OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVE TO GRAB THE STEERING WHEEL W/BOTH HANDS TIGHTLY WHENEVER I AM AT THE 54-55 SPEED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I OWNED THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT FOR THE LONGEST TIME THAT IT WAS THE ROAD CAUSING THIS. I HAVE THIS VEHICLE AS A SECOND CAR AND DO NOT AT ALL FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR NOW. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
BETWEEN 45-55MPH MY FRONT WHEELS STARTS TO WOBBLE BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO WOBBLES BACK AND FORTH MAKING IT HARD TO STEER. THIS IS A HAZARD AS IT HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC AND RANDOMLY ALTHOUGH MORE CONSISTENT. I HAVE HAD A STEERING CYLINDER REPLACED BUT IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE WOBBLING IS JUST GETTING WORSE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD ANY SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS. IT IS A SERIOUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUELING THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT THAT NO MATER HOW SLOW YOU TRY TO PUMP FUEL INTO IT SHOOTS BACK UP THE TANKS FUEL PIPE AND ONTO THE GROUND AND ON YOU IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL. THIS FUEL SYSTEM HAS AN OBVIOUS FLAW. NO VEHICLE SHOULD BE THIS DIFFICULT TO FUEL. IN 40 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE. I WON'T LET ANYONE ELSE PUT FUEL IN THIS 2006 JEEP WRANGLER BECAUSE I'M AFRAID A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD TO EASILY OCCUR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
JEEP AT TIMES HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN DURING OPERATION EVEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS. IF YOU PULL OVER AND WAIT A MINUTE OR TAP ON THE TIPM THE CAR WILL OPERATE AGAIN. ALSO AT TIMES THE HORN, WIPERS / FLUID, AND ALL LIGHTS COME ON CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING. YOU CAN TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE CAR IT EVEN STAYS ON AND EVERYTHING STAYS ON UNTIL YOU EITHER TAP ON THE TIPM OR DISCONNECT THE BATTER COMPLETELY. FINALLY, AT TIMES WHEN YOU USE THE KEY FOB TO OPEN THE CAR AGAIN EVERYTHING WILL COME ON EVEN THE ENGINE WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. YOU THEN AGAIN HAVE TO TAP ON THE TIPM OR DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. *TR

SUSPENSION
WHEN DRIVING AT APPRX. 50 MILES PER HOUR, IF YOU HIT SEMI ROUGH/ROUGH ROADWAY THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO A HORRIBLE TOTAL FRONT END SHAKE. IT WOULD ONLY GO AWAY BY PUTTING ON YOUR BRAKES, AND THIS IS NOT SUCH A GOOD IDEA WHEN EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROADWAY IS GOING THE SPEED LIMIT AND YOU HAVE TO HIT YOUR BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN TO GET YOUR FRONT END UNDER CONTROL
