FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN SITTING STILL WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND PUTTING GAS IN MY 06 JEEP WRANGLER, THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT KICK OFF QUICK ENOUGH WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND SPILLS GAS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD - IF YOU ARE NOT STANDING BACK, IT WILL SPLASH GAS ONTO YOUR CLOTHES WHICH COULD BE A DANGEROUS PERSONAL HAZARD WITH THE POTENTIAL OF BURNS TO A PERSONS BODY. GETTING IN AND OUT OF A VEHICLE PRODUCES STATIC ELECTRICITY AND COULD BE ENOUGH TO START A FIRE WITH THE JEEP AND POTENTIAL DANGER TO PEOPLE AND PROPERTY. THE JEEP WILL "BURP" GAS EVERYTIME THAT YOU FILL IT - THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. I DO NOT EVEN FILL THE TANK AND LET THE PUMP KICK OFF ANYMORE FOR THIS REASON - IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF YOU WAIT FOR THE PUMP TO KICK OFF.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I CALLED MCDONALD CHRYSLER IN CLARE MICHIGAN(624 W. 5TH ST., CLARE MICHIGAN 48617, 1-989-386-7779) I CALLED THEM ABOUT 6-7 MONTHS AGO WHEN I FIRST GOT MY FIRST RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD THE PART SO I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THEM AND WHEN I GOT THERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST THAT THEY HAD HEAD OF THIS RECALL AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THE PART AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY GOT THE PART IN. WELL ON 22 FEBRUARY 2016 I RECEIVED A 3RD NOTICE AND STILL HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM. YOU WOULD THINK THAT WITH THIS BEING A SAFETY RECALL THAT THEY WOULD GET OFF THEIR BUTTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MY RECALL IS ABOUT THE CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH(R13/NHTSA15V-22). I DO PLAN TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE JEEP HAS WHAT HAS BEEN TERMED THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. THE JEEP IS ALL STOCK, NOT LIFTED AT ALL. I HAVE FIRED THE PARTS CANNON AT THE JEEP...ALL THE WORK HAS BEEN PERFORMED BY FACTORY TRAINED TECHNICIANS USING OE PARTS. I HAVE CHANGED THE TIRES TWICE IN 20,000 MILES. THE JEEP GETS A TERRIBLE WOBBLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH (SPEED LIMIT ON 465 IN INDIANAPOLIS) AND CAN ONLY BE BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL BY STOPPING THE VEHICLE. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THE EXCESSIVE WOBBLE, IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THE FUEL FILLER NECK OFTEN OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK ALSO. THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME JEEPS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID MY SPECIFIC JEEP DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE FIXING OF THE ISSUE. IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO HAVE A FUEL FILLER NECK THAT DOESN'T STOP THE FUEL NOZZLE FROM FLOWING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE FUELING AND BEFORE THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK, RUNS DOWN THE FENDER AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT JUST RANDOMLY IT HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE FUELING MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER, THE FUEL FAILED TO STOP DISPENSING WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. THIS RESULTED IN FUEL SPEWING OUT FROM THE TANK. THE FUEL GOT ON ME AS WELL AS THE JEEP AND THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREAS. I HAVE FUELED THE JEEP AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS WITH THE SAME RESULT. FUEL SPILLING OUT FROM THE TANK IS A SERIOUS FIRE, ENVIRONMENTAL, AND HEALTH HAZARD. AFTER REVIEWING THE NHTSA'S WEBSITE AS WELL AS OTHER REPUTABLE SOURCES, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM/COMPLAINT. I'M AWARE THAT THE 2007 AND NEWER JEEPS HAVE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I FAILED TO REALIZE HOW SUCH A COMMON AND SERIOUS PROBLEM CAN BE IGNORED IN THE 2006 JEEPS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HEATER FAN SPEED SWITCH STARTS FAILING BY ONLY WORKING ON HIGH SPEED. THEN IT QUITS COMPLETELY. I HAVE HAD THE WHOLE UNIT REPLACED BEFORE ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. IT JUST DID EXACTLY THE SAME THING AGAIN AND I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED AGAIN. THIS TIME THE REPLACEMENT UNIT DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO CHANGE THE LOCATION OF WHERE THE HEAT COMES OUT. IT IS STUCK ON THE DEFROSTER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
JUST PURCHASED THIS JEEP FROM A DEALERSHIP AND WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK WITH GAS IT OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME SPILLING GAS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND OVER THE DRIVERS REAR QUARTER PANEL. IT IS HARD TO STOP THE OVERFLOW DUE TO THE GAS COMING OUT, DANGER OF FUEL GETTING ON MY CLOTHES WHICH THEN MAKES ME FLAMMABLE AND SMELL LIKE FUEL. THERE IS ALWAYS THE DANGER OF FUEL GETTING IN MY EYES AS WELL, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THIS FLAW. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THE 2005 AND 2006 JEEP OWNERS SHOULD HAVE TO DISH OUT $900 FOR A NEW FUEL TANK THAT WILL FAIL AGAIN ANYWAY BECAUSE THE ICV VALVE WILL JUST FAIL AGAIN. THIS IS A STATIONARY ISSUE WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK. CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SPILLING GAS ON THE GROUND EVERY TIME IS THAT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER PORT DUE TO INCORRECT ENGAGEMENT OF THE STOP ON FUEL PUMP NOZZLES. THIS IS DUE TO A MALFUNCTIONING ICV. THE JEEP HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER STATED IT DID THE SAME THING SINCE HE AND HIS WIFE BOUGHT IT IN 2008 -WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD.
