SUSPENSION:FRONT, STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
2006 JEEP WRANGLER- AT 65,000 MILES DEVELOPED WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". I HAVE SPENT OVER $1500.00 TRYING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND STILL AT 50- 65 MILES PER HOUR DEVELOPS A VIOLENT SHAKE THAT FELLS AS THOUGH THE FRONT WHEEL WILL FLY OFF THE VEHICLE- THE ONLY THING TO DO IS SLOW DOWN. NOW DUE TO THIS PROBLEM OTHER PARTS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE BREAKING INCLUDING THE FRONT HOOD LATCH THAT ALLOWS THE HOOD TO FLY UP INTO THE WINDSHIELD. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL OF THIS DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER X, THERE IS A FAULT FROM THE FACTORY GAS TANK, WHICH WHEN I FILL MY TANK WITH FUEL IT DOES NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO AUTO SHUT OFF, AND SPEWS A DECENT AMOUNT OF GAS FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS WHEN EVER I FILL UP. I HAVE NOT FOUND A WAY TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE, AND THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO FIX IT, IS REPLACING THE TANK WITH AN OE STYLE TANK THAT HAS THE SAME FAULTY VALVE INSIDE IT. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
2006 JEEP WRANGLER: AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES, I NOTICED THAT A SHUDDER STARTED TO DEVELOP IN MY FRONT END AND WOULD VIBRATE UP THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL AT AROUND 45 MPH. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS OCCUR AT 40 MPH USUALLY BETWEEN 40 AND 60 AFTER HITTING A BUMP. NOW, AT 22,000 MILES, I HAVE A VIOLENT SHUDDER BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH, THAT IT FEELS LIKE I AM ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND HIT A BUMP AT ABOUT 55 AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS SO BAD THAT SHE HAD TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO HER. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO THE JEEP DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE ACTED LIKE THIS WAS NOT UNUSUAL AND CALLED IT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" (NICE NAME FOR IT) AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER. THE VEHICLE STILL OCCASIONALLY SHAKES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES WHEN BRAKING AND SOMETIMES IT ACTS "NORMAL" THIS VEHICLE IS 100 % STOCK FROM THE DEALER(NOT LIFTED AND ORIGINAL 215/75-15 TIRES AND HAS HAD NO MODIFICATIONS, AND HAS NOT BEEN OFF ROADING. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND THE REPLACEMENT DAMPER IS JUST TEMPORARILY MASKING THE PROBLEM( NOT VERY SUCCESSFULLY EITHER). AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS NOT AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED I GUESS THIS WONT BECOME A BIG ISSUE FOR THE CHRYSLER OR THE GOVERNMENT UNTIL THERE ARE NUMEROUS INJURIES OR FATALITIES. ITS A SHAME THAT MANUFACTURERS WAIT UNTIL THE PROBLEMS REALLY ESCALATES BEFORE THEY ARE ADDRESSED (LIKE TOYOTA). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE FILLING MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER WITH GAS, IT ALWAYS SPILLS FUEL WHEN THE TANK IS FULL INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF. FUEL SPILLS DOWN THE REAR QUARTERPANEL OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND, MANY TIMES FUEL SPRAYS BACK ONTO ME, MY HANDS AND MY CLOTHES. THIS OCCURS ANY TIME I LET THE TANK FILL COMPLETELY FULL AND THE PUMP STOP ITSELF. *TR

HAVE A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 24,000 MILES WHICH IS EXPERIENCING FRONT WHEEL SHAKING AT ABOUT 40-45 MPH AND WHEN BRAKING. ALIGNMENT, TIRES, ETC. ARE GOOD WITH NO AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIONS DONE TO SUSPENSION. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH WRANGLERS AND IS EVEN CALLED AND KNOWN AS A "DEATH WOBBLE." NO CRASHES, BUT DEALER WILL CHARGE TO INVESTIGATE AND FIX. AS MENTIONED, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH WRANGLERS, THEREFORE, ISN'T IT A MANUFACTURING FLAW THAT JEEP NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
BEGINNING TWO YEARS AGO, GASOLINE BEGAN TO OVERFLOW FROM THE FILL SPOUT OF MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER WHENEVER I FILLED THE TANK TO ANYWHERE NEAR ITS FULL CAPACITY. TO THIS DAY THIS CONTINUES TO RESULT IN GASOLINE SPILLING ON VEHICLE MYSELF AND THE GROUND ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK. THE ONLY REMEDY I HAVE FOUND IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY UP, WHICH IS SOMETIME DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP DETERMINED I NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK INSTALLED ($700). I HAVE NOT HAD THE TANK REPLACED AS THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE PROBLEM WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN AS THE PARTS ARE, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, NOT UPDATED FROM THE PARTS ON THE VEHICLE NOW. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM NOT BEING PROPERLY ADDRESSED OR EVEN ADMITTED TO BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

FUEL SPILLS FROM FUEL TANK. THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF BUT THE FUEL WILL EJECT OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. I HAVE BEEN SPLASHED WITH FUEL. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH FUELING. EVEN RUNNING THE PUMP AT LOWEST SPEED THE CONDITION STILL OCCURS. IF I SHUT THE PUMP HANDLE OFF EARLY, IT WILL SOMETIMES PREVENT THE SPILL. NOT ALWAYS. *TR
