2006 JEEP WRANGLER. GAS TANK FILLUP, AT ANY GAS STATION, RESULTS IN TANK OVERFLOW. BURPS OUT UP TO 1/4 GALLON OF GAS BEFORE PUMP STOPS. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL JEEP WRANGLERS, MOST MODEL YEARS. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP, NOT JUST OCCASIONALLY. *TT

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM DRIVING AT 20 MPH ON A CURVE ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE WHOLE ENTIRE SHAKES, ROCKS, MOVES UNCONTROLLABLY TO ALL DIRECTION. I CAN BE DRIVING IN CITY LIMITS AT 25 MPH AND IT WILL DO ALL THE SAME THINGS SHAKES, ROCKS, MOVES UNCONTROLLABLY TO ALL DIRECTIONS. IT OCCURS MORE THAN 10 TIMES A MONTH. I TOOK MY JEEP WRANGLER TO THE JEEP AGENCY AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE BREAKS SO I TOLD THEM OK FIX IT. THEY CALLED ME TO PICK UP MY CAR THAT IT WAS READY. SO I DRIVE ON TO GET ON THE EXPRESSWAY AS SOON AS I GET TO 25MPH THE CAR SHOWS THE SAME PROBLEM. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUNDED MY MONEY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER THAT ISN'T JEEP. I TOLD THEM THAT THEY WERE THE JEEP EXPERTS WHAT WOULD OTHER AGENCIES KNOW ABOUT JEEP. THEN I SPOKE TO DAIMLER AND THEY SAID TO TRY TO REPLACE MY TIRES AND I DID AND THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. I HAVE ALL MY PAPER WORK. *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT, THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS FUEL EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE TO REFILL THE TANK. THE TANK APPARENTLY DOES NOT VENT PROPERLY, WHICH CAUSES THE AUTO-SHUT-OFF FEATURE ON GAS PUMPS TO FAIL UNTIL THE TANK OVERFLOWS, SPITTING GASOLINE OUT (OVER A FOOT FROM THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AT TIMES), HITTING THE INDIVIDUAL FILLING UP THE TANK AND MAKING A MESS OF THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS FUEL OVERFLOW ISSUE OCCURS 100% OF THE TIME. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY THIS, BUT THAT IT IS A "COMMON" PROBLEM AMONG 1997-PRESENT WRANGLERS. CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2007-LATER WRANGLER, BUT REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 2006 AND OLDER MODELS. REVIEWING BOTH LOCAL AND NATIONAL JEEP INTERNET FORUMS, I HAVE SEEN FORUM THREADS ON THIS TOPIC WITH LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF 1997-2006 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS CLAIMING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I AM HAVING WITH MY 2006 WRANGLER. THE COST TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, THE ONLY SOLUTION, IS AT A COST OF $1100-$1200. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. TO DATE, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE, AS ASKED BELOW, BUT THAT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME! *TR

ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED, THE GAS TANK "PUKES" FUEL EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE TO REFILL THE TANK. THE TANK APPARENTLY DOES NOT VENT PROPERLY, WHICH CAUSES THE AUTO-SHUT-OFF FEATURE ON GAS PUMPS TO FAIL UNTIL THE TANK OVERFLOWS, SPITTING GASOLINE OUT (OVER A FOOT FROM THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AT TIMES), HITTING THE INDIVIDUAL FILLING UP THE TANK AND MAKING A MESS OF THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS FUEL "PUKING" ISSUE OCCURS 100% OF THE TIME. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS INITIALLY TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY THIS, BUT THAT IT IS A "COMMON" PROBLEM AMONG 1997-PRESENT WRANGLERS. CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2007-LATER WRANGLERS, BUT REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 2006 AND OLDER MODELS.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 37,000 MILES. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY JEEP THE FUEL WILL NOT STOP FLOW WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. INSTEAD GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILLER EVERY TIME I REFUEL, RESULTING IN A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF FUEL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I REFUEL AND OCCURS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. AFTER READING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE ON THE INTERNET SUGGESTING THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP ITSELF, I WANTED TO REPORT THIS EVENT. *TT

TIRES
I HAD A SET OF BF GOODRICH MUD TERRAIN TIRES 33" ON A 06 WRANGLER. THE TIRES WERE ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD BUT HAD BARELY BEEN USED, APPROXIMATELY 80% OF THE TREAD WAS LEFT. I SWAPPED THESE TIRES FROM A 73 CJ5 THAT I JUST WASN'T USING THAT MUCH ANYMORE. AFTER AROUND 4000-5000 MILES AFTER THE SWITCH THE TIRE POPPED ON ME GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY DOING 75-80 MPH. THE VEHICLE SHOOK FOR 2-3 SECONDS THEN I HEARD A "POP", INSTANTLY THIS THREW MY VEHICLE WHERE IT FLIPPED AND ROLLED AND TOTALED THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO BE AIRLIFTED AWAY AS A RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT. INVESTIGATORS FROM JEEP AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY BOTH CONCLUDED THAT THIS WAS A PRODUCT DEFECT THAT CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. WHILE TAKING UP THE ISSUE WITH BF GOODRICH THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE TIRE IN TO BE INSPECTED. THE TIRE STORE STATED AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS OF LOOKING AT THE TIRE THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A ROAD HAZARD. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AT ALL DURING THIS 4 HOUR TRIP THAT I WAS JUST ON AND THE TIRE WAS INFLATED AT 35 PSI. BF GOODRICH DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE ACCIDENT OR MY INJURIES. THEY DID OFFER ME 30% OFF A NEW TIRE. TOO BAD I DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE TO PUT A TIRE ON ANYMORE. I CHECKED THE AIR PRESSURE PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF THE TRIP FROM SAN DIEGO TO PHOENIX. I ALSO FILLED UP WITH GAS AND WALKED AROUND THE JEEP, TO WASH THE WINDOWS, AND DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES. THE ROAD THAT I WAS TRAVELING ON WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND FREE FROM OBJECTS. I DID NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING. I DO HAVE CUSTODY OF THE BAD TIRE STILL ON THE RIM AND PLENTY OF PICTURES OF THE TIRE AND THE VEHICLE AFTER THE ACCIDENT. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE TIRE FAILURE CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. ONE PERSON SAID THAT THE TIRE LOOKED ALMOST LIKE IT WAS RE-TREADED. *KB
