2006 JEEP Wrangler

I get the DEATH SHAKE (Wobble). This is not the first time. The first time I had the Death Shake was in 2015.

Sthall while running. Then Would not start, no crank. No fuel pump start, no panel indicators working. Shows a 06-02 Code error in panel. Means fueling calibration error. 3 or 4 days later it start like new.

Death wobble

Chronic fuel spilling from my 2006 Jeep Wrangler each time I fill up tank. Fuel spits out from opening and down the side of vehicle, onto fender flare and onto ground resulting in small puddle of gasoline. Repairs were made once under warranty, second attempt outside of warranty I was told it would cost approximately $1000 to repair again. In fixed income and unable to raise funds to replace. Was told by service technician that this is an ongoing problem with no way to fix unless a different type of fuel tank was used, but manufacturer will only replace with same defective tank and parts. I am afraid of a possible fire and a repeat of fuel splashing onto my clothes and ground puddling occurring. I am seeking a fix with a new improved fuel tank and all associated parts.

Fuel pump does not shut off when full causing about 10 ounces of fuel to spray on me and on the ground. It also drips down the paint which can cause issues down the road over time

Steering death wobble!
uncontrollable shaking at high speed (freeway/highway). Inspected many times. Tires, alignment, etc replaced as necessary.
Problem continues to occur.

Fuel overflows upon filling. Not a drop, not a trickle, but a full-on expulsion of fuel from the filler neck. This has been occurring for years – I’ve only recently decided to file a complaint.

Vibration in front suspension initially experienced within a few months of purchasing the vehicle in November of 2005. Occurred at about 55 MPH. Serviced several times by Jeep dealer but they were unable to duplicate the problem. Issue continues to this day, 76,000 miles later. Have re-aligned and rebalanced tires several times, replaced tires and replaced shocks with heavier duty shocks. Problem always returns, sometimes within a day. Vibration is sever enough to be seen by passing drivers who have told me about it. Unable to confidently drive over 50 mph. Issue could lead to loss of vehicle control. Aside from replacement shocks and tires (which are OEM equivalents) Jeep is stock, no lift, stock wheels etc.

I purchased the Wrangler in about October of 2009 and love the vehicle itself. However, since 2010, the fuel tank overspills when it is filled. It caused damage to the paint and to the plastic wheel guard.

Of greater concern is death wobble. The front end violently shakes at highway speeds from time to time. The vehicle is hard to control. I made attempts in 2013 and 2014 to fix it, only to have the problem return. In 2013 the Steering Damper and Steering Stabilizer Bar was replaced. In 2014, the tires were replaced and aligned. The problem returned this year, and is at its worst.

The Death Wobble!!!

Uncontrollable shaking of front end at high speeds. None as death wobble. Very dangerous.

I bought this Jeep used in 2011 from Airpark Dodge. They specifically told me it was sold “as is” and had NO warranties remaining. This point was made repeatedly as the dealer tried to sell me an extended service agreement. I refused. In February 2012 the program control module failed and the vehicle stopped dead in traffic. I had it towed to my independent repair shop and they diagnosed the problem as a defective program control module. The shop replaced the module with a new Mopar module. During the repair the shop informed me the module had been replaced before making this at least the second failure on a very low mileage vehicle.

After the repair I went on line to see if there was a history of problems like this with my Jeep. I found out that there is an emissions warranty covering the program control module and the catalytic converter. I submitted the repair bill to Jeep and they refused to pay anything other than 1/2 the price of the Mopar module. Jeep Corporate told me it was my responsibility to know about warranties on the vehicle. I made a good faith effort to discover this information at the time of the purchase. The selling dealer concealed the existence of this warranty in an attempt to get me to buy an extended warranty.

I plan on selling the vehicle. Jeep’s reliability and customer service are the worst of all auto manufacturers. I also plan to sue to recover whatever damages I can collect for misrepresentation as well as the balance of the repair cost.

I have a huge problem and i have noticed i’m not the only one and i think jeep should fix this on the wranglers everytime i fill up my gas overflows out the tank and all over my fender and ground, it should not being doing and i heard they will do nothing for it and i think they should replace the gas tank so it doesn’t happen anymore

Every time I fill the gas tank, fuel erupts out of the fuel filler, runs down the side of the Jeep, and leaves a puddle of gasoline on the ground. This is apparently the fault of a valve in the tank which has been swollen by ethanol in modern fuel. Many other Jeep owners are having this problem, there is a thread on JeepForum: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f176/have-fuel-spill-problems-like-many-us-submit-complaint-force-recall-974337/

Per three Chrysler dealers and one private body shop hood was painted incorrectly at the factory (probably had a mark while curing and was re-sprayed prior to being fully cured, causing cracking and de-lamination). Chrysler has offered a 50/50 split which is unacceptable for a vehicle that was defective at mile 0 on day one.

Vehicle shakes uncontrolably around 55-60 mph. When you put on brakes, it really shakes, steering wheel and everything. The dealer has replaced the rotors 2 time and turned them 2 time. Now, today I have to pay for this to be fixed and he straight out told me at the dealership the problem was caused by cheap, thin metal Jeep uses to make their parts. I got absolutely nowhere with Chrysler customer service. Employee number 178, Brenda was extremely rude. They leave you no choice but to sue them.

Consumer complaint concerning 2006 wrangler clutch pedal pushrod. *ts the consumer was having difficulty getting an appointment from the dealer that was closest to him because the vehicle was purchased fro some where else. the consumer had to go to another dealer the was 50 miles away to get the recall work performed. *jb

My '06 jeep wrangler overflows with gas every time i fill up now. it began doing this about a month or so ago, and now does it every time i fill up regardless of how slow i try to pump the gas. gas spits out of the filler tube all over the jeep and the ground. several days ago my wife, who was unaware of the problem, drove my jeep and as a kind gesture thought she would fill it up for me. as a result, she ended up getting gas splashed on to her clothes, the jeep, and the surrounding ground. this is not an isolated problem. i have come to learn that many jeep wrangler owners are experiencing the same problem. jeep has identified the problem as being a stuck check ball that is causing the problem. to remedy the situation, they recommend that you buy a new gast tank. however, no changes have been made to the new gas tanks, so it is only a matter of time before you would start to experience the same problems again. unfortunately, most of us are recently out of warranty and jeep is refusing any other help. besides the obvious personal hazards that are associated with this problem, you also face an environmental hazard every time you need to fuel up your vehicle. i sincerely hope that you can help me and tens of thousands of other jeep owners who are experiencing these problems before serious injury or deaths occur from this defect.

When filling up the gas tank with fuel, the fuel splashes out going over me, my fenders, side of jeep and the ground. i believe this is a major safety issue.and jeep should be liable. god forbid if this caused a fatality.

Every time i fill my jeep with gasoline, when it reaches it's capacity, gas spews out of the filler tube and onto the rear fender flare and subsequently onto the ground. this is not a new issue with these jeeps and it is a fix that should be done by the manufacturer due to the obvious safety concerns. this is a fire hazard and could cause serious injury if not corrected. this happens every time i fill the vehicle up with gas and it's ridiculous.

I have a 2006 jeep wrangler tj i bought used have had it going on 6 months and everytime i go to the gas station and fill up when the pump kicks off the gas spews out all down the side of my jeep flares and the jeep itself and down onto the ground when i filled it up the first time it was all over my hand my leg and ruined my shoes!! i got on a jepp forum and was told to get a gmc filler hose with a check valve and i did and paid to have it installed and i still have the same issue. i have done a lot of research on the internet and i am not alone here this is a huge issue and it is going to lead to someone getting hurt or worse killed!! is this what it's going to take for you to fix this problem with the wranglers? i sure hope not!! this is beyond ridiculous and needs addressed and fixed asap.....

Gas spills out when filling tank instead of click gas pump off automatically

2006 jeep wrangler. consumer writes in regards to vehicle exhibits severe/ violent vibration "jeep death wobble" issues. dealership has no solutions other than tire rotation and alignments. *smd the consumer stated the vibration was so severe, he had to slow the vehicle down, because it felt as though the vehicle was falling apart. *jb

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 15v222000 (power train). the part to do the repair was unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the contact spoke to don's auto clinic inc (1110 n mitchell st, cadillac, mi 49601) who stated that parts were not available. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. while driving various speeds, the vehicle made a loud grinding/screeching noise. the contact suspected that there was an oil drive pump assembly failure. the contact stated that the dealer poured the wrong oil in the vehicle, which caused the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 50,000.

Jeep wrangler x 2006 automatic. sthall while running in highway .then would not start ,no crank. no fuel pump start , no panel indicators working. shows a 06- 02 code error in panel. mean fueling calibration error. 3 or 4 days later it start like new.

My jeep wrangler spews gas on every fill up. ruined pants, shoes. fear gas is going to ignite from hot exhaust. does every every time. someone going to get hurt seriously. everyone is purchasing gm filler tube with flapper to replace jeep filler. done so frequently can't get part. jeep could fix easily installing 20 dollar filler tube or putting new valve in tank. this is serious.

The pcm used with automatic transmissions has a serious and very common failure. chrysler has known since 2006 and has made no effort to date to rectify the issue. the tcm side (internal with the pcm) has a problem that causes harsh shifting issues. the only known successful repair is to replace the pcm. this has caused them to be unavailable and when they are, they are 3 to 5 times more expensive than other years. also, these remanufactured pcm's are not reliably repaired, it is usual that several different pcm's be installed before a reliable one is found. i know of a 2006 jeep tjl that had six mopar remanufactured computers installed in 90 days, all by the same dealership, before one that actually worked was found. there are hundreds of posts on every online forums that jeepers use that discuss the problem in great detail. a quick google search will net you all you ever wanted to know about the 2006 wrangler automatic transmission pcm failures.

When refueling the vehicle, gasoline with shoot out of the fuel fill when the tank is nearly full. from speaking with other jeep wrangler unlimited owners (2005 & 2006 models only), this issue is commonplace and unaddressed by jeep. it is reportedly due to a design flaw in the overflow value in the filler tube. each time this happens, approximately 1/4 of gasoline will flow out of the tank before the gas pump clicks off. this has exposed me to gasoline on my skin, as well as spilled fuel on the ground. there is risk due to exposure to ethanol and other chemicals, environmental exposure with gasoline on the ground, and fire risk.

Every time i fill my jeep, it overflows and spills fuel all over the side of my jeep and the ground before the rule pump shuts off. i have this issue with every fill up at any fuel station i use. it will sometimes overfill and spill enough out as to necessitate the use of a fuel spill cleanup kit and i've had several shoes and pants ruined from spouting fuel. i have had several other jeep wrangler owners of the same year and model complain of this exact problem. i feel this is not only an environmental problem, but a fire safety problem as well. it cannot be safe to have a system that overfills and spills gasoline every single time you fill your vehicle creating a significant risk of fire.

2006 tj fuel overflow when filling tank. fuel spits out of gas tank on to person holding the gas handle pump when filling. auto is off and stationary. it happens every time.

The vehicle while operating under normal driving conditions had a check engine light appear. a certified mechanic found the tcm was faulty. findings: p0218 high temp operation activated. p0714 transmission temp sensor intermittent. p0613 internal tcm problem. instrument cluster: 1 tcm/single board engine control message not received data list for tcm is reading 1023 degrees fahrenheit or 1.10 volts having code p0613 tcm is faulty.

Every time i fill the jeep up with gas, large amount of fuel spills out before the fill gun can stop it. i have been to many different gas station and it happens at all of them. this is a very dangerous, many others with my year jeep have filled complaints and got the issue fix.

Fuel overflows when the tank is filled. the auto-shutoff doesn't work. it happens every time i fill the tank, no matter what gas station. this is a safety and environmental hazard.

Every time i fill up my fuel tank, 1/2 a second after the pump shuts off, a significant of fuel comes rushing out on to the ground.

Experiencing the "death wobble" at 55 mph. slowing down or speeding up will cause it to go away.happens about 33% of the time while accelerating or decelerating.

Death wobble- braking at 55mph, hitting bump at 55 + mph. on going. dangerous situation. this was addressed for 2015-2016 but the components in my jeep are the same as newer jeeps and is a danger for older jeeps.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact was an independent mechanic and stated that the battery almost failed and the 02 oxygen heat sensor was not able to complete the final test of reprogramming. also, the action sensor heat module could not be reprogrammed. the contact called auburn chrysler dodge jeep ram (1901 grass valley hwy, auburn, ca 95603, (888) 268-8026) and was informed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. the failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

The transmission control module (tcm), part of the computer, fails and manifests as a failure to shift from 1st to 2nd, over revving, loud thuds/clunks when it does shift from 1st to 2nd. computer (tcm) can be reset if battery (+) disconnected and grounded out. this problem is not rare, estimate several 1,000 jeep wranglers '05 and '06 with automatic transmissions are experiencing this now or will. chrysler has no interest in repairs or providing parts. from jeep forums, best guess is a resistor or capacitor on the computer motherboard fails or critical electrical connections were poorly/incorrected soldered leading to insufficient and inconsistent connectivity.

Vehicle was involved in a very serious accident that resulted in the vehicle rolling 4 times. the airbags did not deploy on impact which resulted in the driver sustaining multiple broken bones in the face. then, during the first roll, the driver was ejected due to a faulty seat belt latch which resulted in very serious critical injuries including a broken back. if these safety features would have worked, the driver would not be in the situation that she is in and suffering through lots of pain and life changing injuries.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact took the vehicle to aventura chrysler jeep dodge ram (2198 ne 163rd st, north miami beach, fl 33162, (305) 493-5000) for routine maintenance. the contact notified the dealer that he received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 15v222000 (power train). the dealer verified the recall and stated that they would perform the recall repair as well as the other maintenance repairs. when the contact went to retrieve the vehicle, the recall repairs were not completed. the dealer stated that they would call the contact back when the parts were available. the contact checked back with the dealer six to seven times both in person and on the phone and was informed that the parts were still not available. the contact had to initiate the calls since the dealer never called back over a three month timeframe. the manufacturer's recall center was contacted and they stated that they would research the matter and call the contact back. the contact had not heard back from the recall center. the contact had not experienced a failure. *tt consumer stated no incident or crash have occurred at this time. safety recall is for clutch interlock switch. *jb

The program control module (pcm) contains the transmission control module and all safety features designed into these vehicles. in my case i am developing transmission shifting problems as a first sign with hard shifts and incorrect temperature reading recorded from the transmission. the false high readings can result in unexpected engine shut down and other unsafe operating conditions. chrysler is no longer providing support for replacement pcm computers, despite this problem affecting large numbers of 2005 and 2006 vehicles with the pcm/tom combination when the solder joints on the pcm/tom circuit board developers corrosion and solder fractures affecting the computer programming. my dealer currently has 29 units that they do not have replacements for on back order with no plans to provide any support to current owners. owners are forced to rely on a shady second market of poorly expensive refurbished units that are quickly failing. the next only option is a complete engine, transmission emissions change that is nearly impossible in california and still meet inspection rules leaving a mass of jeep owners with no recourse.

The ecu has failed 4 times in my jeep. by doing a little research on a couple of jeep pages it is a common problem for this particular model. it has been replaced under warranty, for the past 2 years. i have been told that chrysler will not replace it again. the problem that is caused is the way the transmission shifts from 1st gear to 2nd gear . sometimes the jeep will go into "limp mode". this has been going on since august of 2016, a total of 4 ecu's has been installed.

Hello, i am writing to complain about a leaking door seal on my 2006 wrangler. the seal has been replaced three times, but continues to leak. when it rains, water collects on the floor creating a wet and slippery condition that makes it dangerous to drive, as the heel slips while operating the pedals. furthermore, the water leak causes a mold condition that is harmful to health. please let me know if there is anything you can do. thank you.

When filling the wrangler with fuel, the tank consistently and regularly overfills and spits fuel out of the top of the fuel tank towards the gas pump nozzle, the person filling the wrangler, the exterior of the wrangler, and onto the floor next to the wrangler. there is a tsb for repair of this issue, but my year is not automatically covered by that tsb. please help.

Hard shifting from 1st to 2nd. stuck in 2nd while in interstate traffic. what a nightmare! it’s all over the internet about the bad pcm problem but no help from the dealer due to the age of the vehicle even with only 19000 miles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. while driving over 50 mph, the vehicle shook and vibrated violently after driving over a pothole. the contact had to take her foot off the accelerator pedal to get the vehicle to stop shaking. the contact stated that the failure occurred at least once per year since it was purchased new. the vehicle was taken to the dealer (diehl chrysler dodge jeep ram of robinson, 6181 steubenville pike, mckees rocks, pa 15136) where it was diagnosed that the joints, control arm, and wheel bearing failed. the vehicle was repaired by the same dealer each year for the failure. the manufacturer was notified and provided case number: 33265612. the failure mileage was 41,000.

Death wobble. vehicle will shake violently at times between 50-53 mph. condition will return to normal after decelerating to < 40 mph, most times. occasionally will have to come to complete stop.

I've been battling bad shifting problems and spent thousands of dollars trying to resolve the issue. after replacing the transmission, lots of diagnostic fees, and now a pcm module. i've learned after 8 months, that chrysler can't seem to solve the pcm problem and left the aftermarket to resolve it. i luckily found a company who can resolve it. tribal knowledge is that chrysler couldn't figure it out and some parts are no longer available. this is unacceptable!

When filling up the fuel tank, it will either click-off every 2 tenths of a gallon or spill fuel out when attempting to fill at the slowest rate. there are no kinks or etc in the filler pipe or vent pipe.

While parking my 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited into a parking space i put the car into park and it continued to drift forward. i had to pull the emergency brake up to stop it. i turned the car off and then it would not restart. i had the car repaired and it was the transmission shifter cable.

I just purchase a this vehicle and i notices that front suspension starts shaking after hitting a bump on the road, it is very scary and it feels like you are going to loose control. i have driven this car on the freeway two times and it already happened like 6 times. i'm very disappointed and i hope this is an easy fix, i bought this car for my daughter but i don't think i can run the risk of giving it to her it would be very irresponsible of my part to give my daughter something unsafe.

During pumping of gasoline into the tank when the tanks fills, gas spews from the tank everytime. this does not happen with either of the other 3 jeeps that i own. this causes a potential for fire and/or injury due to gasoline splashing on hands, arms and clothes.

When i fill up with gas at a station, after the pump clicks, about a pint of gas splashes out of the filler and down the body onto the ground.

Jeep wrangler 2005 and 2006. when filling the gas tank at the gas station, gasoline will overflow momentarily, spilling gasoline on the ground from the gas tank filler tube when the gas pump fuel nozzle shuts off. this has happened on the 2005 and 2006 model year wranglers i have own(ed). reviewing comments on the internet this is a common problem with these model years. an additional problem is the internal sticking (due to internal valve plug expansion) check valve that causes spillage also may not permit proper fuel filling.

Gas tank blows out a large amount of gas after filling up.

When filling the fuel tank to full gasoline will shoot out of the filler hole and over the side of the vehicle. the problem is consistent (i can only recall 4 times when it did not occur since i purchased the vehicle in 2015 with 82,000 miles on it. in all cases the vehicle was stationary, engine was off, parked next to the gasoline pump.

2006 jeep wrangler rubicon inline 6 automatic pcm failure causing my jeep to hard shift from 1st to 2nd. when cold jeep will drop out of gear while driving!!!! for 5 seconds before hard shifting back into gear. the dealership charged me $955 for unrelated parts that did not fix the issue! before i myself found it to be the pcm. this problem needs to be recalled! before going to the dealership i took it to a transmission shop who charged me $450 to replace solenoids which was a false trouble code!!! i am so livid because now i am going to have to buy a pcm which are very expensive when they are available to even order!!!

I get the death shake. the first time was in 2015 and i had it fixed. i have it again, started in july 2017. it is so dangerous. i literally have to stop my jeep to make it stop. it is usually when i am driving between 50 - 55 mph. it is awful.

When you fill up the gas tank the automatic stop doesn't work and the gas spills out all over the place. i bought the jeep used on july 11, 2014, and i just have never done anything about it. when i bought it, it had 35,000 miles, now i have 70,666 miles. i went online and on the jeep forum and youtube some people had fixes by buying a gm new fuel filler hose part #15131046 and replacing it and it seems to have worked. according to what i've read the warrenties were extended for 2007 and over but not the 2006's.

Left rear brake locks wheel when emergency stop or wet pavement. no visible defect by 2 brake shops. happens when moving on dry or wet city streets.

Opda failed on my jeep by design flaw.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. while driving over 50 mph, the vehicle suddenly began to shake and vibrate violently. the contact indicated that the shocks and brake rotors were replaced and the tires were rotated, but the failure continued. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the failure mileage was 36,000.

Fuel tank filler neck spills gasoline forcefully over the side, fender flare and ground, which requires a spill kit to be used to cleanup the puddle created by this spill. this problem has occurred before and was fixed using the same faulty parts which at that time was under warranty. approximately 4000 miles later the same spilling of gasoline occurred but dealership said the vehicle was outside the warranty period and that it would cost me $1000 to repair. i believe this is an extreme fire hazard as well as a possibly severe injury to myself as the gasoline could fly into my eyes or unto my clothes. i demand a complete new fuel tank configuration and fuel filler neck parts. two exact problems means faulty equipment parts and should be repaired with updated parts. the first time it was fixed is listed below.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. while accelerating from a complete stop, the transmission shifted violently into second gear. the engine began to rev rapidly. the failure occurred only after the vehicle was initially started or whenever the engine was turned off and restarted. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where the pcm was reprogrammed. three weeks later, the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the pcm was replaced; however, the failure recurred nine months later. the vehicle was not repaired for the most recent failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 73,000.

Gas tank overflows with fuel when filling gas tank and sprays back on you and to ground. i attached a link to a youtube video. this is not my car but i have the exact same problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zouvokeolo8

The plastic part, yes plastic, that allows the transmission to be shifted into park broke and i was unable to shift into park. this part is part of the gear shifter on an automatic transmission and there are several complaints on the on-line chat spaces.

When fueling the vehicle, the fuel splashes back at near full. the fuel leaks down the plastic fuel door area and onto the painted finish on the body. i have had it splash back onto myself, also. there is supposedly a faulty flapper valve inside the filler hose before the fuel enters that tank. this is a known issue on the 97-06 wranglers.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 15v222000 (power train) and stated that the part needed for the repair was not available. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the vin was unknown. the contact had not experienced a failure.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. while driving 60 mph, the steering wheel vibrated and shook when the vehicle drove over a bump. the contact had to hold the steering wheel aggressively, slow down, and stop the vehicle. the dealer diagnosed that the shocks and tires needed to be replaced. the parts were replaced. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vin was unknown. the approximate failure mileage was 8,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to restart after running an errand. the contact also heard an abnormal noise. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the steering column prematurely fractured and needed to be replaced. the contact was uncertain of when the recall repair would be completed for several months. the manufacturer was notified. the nhtsa campaign number was unknown. the vin and failure mileage were not available.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact received a notification of nhtsa campaign number: 15v322000 (air bags); however, the parts for the recall were not available. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was not notified. the vin was unknown. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

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.

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.

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.

Submitted repair copies for refund in september 2015. follow up calls to fca stated check in mail, check has been canceled, someone will follow up with you. today february 18, 2016 and still told someone will contact me about refund.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact received a recall notification of nhtsa campaign number: 15v222000 (power train); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. the contact stated that manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

When filling the fuel tank the fuel filler hose fails to stop the flow of fuel coming back out of the tank. this results in fuel spilling on the ground and down the side of the vehicle.

Fuel pump does not shut off when full causing about 10 ounces of fuel to spray on me and on the ground. it also drips down the paint which can cause issues down the road over time

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.

2006 wrangler unlimited (rubicon) overfills with gasoline before the pump stops. about a cup of fuel, does not matter which gas station or how fast the tank is filled. it has been doing this since i purchased it from jeep dealer in 2013.

When filling up tank, fuel comes pouring out when tank is done being filled

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.

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 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.

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.

Recall number r13/nhtsa15v-222 clutch interlock switch - the problem i am having is we made an appointment with westbury jeep new york to have this taken care of they kept the car for three days and could not repair it. we were told that they could not get the part. the service department of westbury jeep inept in providing the required service to correct this, had a total disregard for the needs of the customer to get this repaired in a timely fashion and what was disappointing they had no idea on a part that they manufactured how to get a hold of it. as a result we took the car home with out getting this repaired. as such i would like to report this dealership for failing to remedy and provide proper customer service!

When i first bought the 2006 jeep wrangler, and drove it home, when i got up to between 50-55 mph, the whole front end of the jeep shimmied or wobbled violently. i looked up the problem online to find out if this was a common complaint, and exactly what the call what my jeep was doing. this is when i found out what it was doing was called, "the death wobble". i then took the jeep back to carmax where i bought it used, and showed the carmax mechanics what i had printed out from on line. they then, and i quote, fixed the problem. well this fix only lasted about a 2 years and it is now back to doing this death wobble again. apparently the "fix" was not a permanent one, and of course my 2006 jeep is no longer under the 12 month limited warranty any longer. i need to know if there was ever a safety recall on this problem at the manufacturer's expense, obviously this is a design flaw, which i have found out that supposedly can be permanently fixed. the problem for me is, i can't afford the cost to do the fix. thank you for your time. *tr

I bought my 2006 jeep wrangler rubicon new from a dealership. after few years i started having issues with fuel spitting out of the gas filler when filling up at a gas station. about 1/4 to 1/2 cup at a time. doesn't matter which staion or which pump i use. the pump i use would click off,but always a second too late. this is a very dangerous problem in that not only is it damaging my paint and wheel well flares but also spilling gas on the ground creating an environmental hazard as defined and regulated by the environmental protection agency, as well as splashing onto the person filling the jeep covering them in flammable chemicals and exposing them to long-term health issues through inhalation and skin absorption as addressed by the national institutes of health. not to mention with the fuel spilling out like that, it also creates a lot of fuel vapors. with jus a static spark, it could very well ingnite the fuel. i consider that a very dangerous situation.

I bought my 2006 jeep wrangler rubicon new from a dealership. after about two years i started having issues with fuel spitting put of the gas filler when filling up at a gas station. this is my wife's vehicle and she compensated by not filling it full by shutting the fuel pump off before the handle would click. over the years i have mentioned it to dealerships and repair shops and no one ever heard of it. it is at a dealership now for another issue and again i mentioned the gas spitting out of the gas neck and running down the jeep side and getting me wet. they said they know about the issue and that jeep and nhtsa had addressed the issue in a compromise by jeep offering an extended warranty on 2007 and 2008 models and jeep sent out communications to that effect. since i have a 2006, i never received any notification about the fuel overflow problem, until now. i contacted jeep and they acknowledged the issue but refused to address it. this is a very dangerous problem in that not only is it damaging my paint and wheel well flares but also spilling gas on the ground creating an environmental hazard as defined and regulated by the environmental protection agency, as well as splashing onto the person filling the jeep covering them in flammable chemicals and exposing them to long-term health issues through inhalation and skin absorption as addressed by the national institutes of health.

When fueling the vehicle, when the tank is full and the gasoline nozzle shuts off, approximately one cup of gasoline comes out of the vehicle filler tube and sprays the area around the filler inlet and down the side of the vehicle. this event occurs regardless of the rate of fuel flow. this event occurs when the filler nozzle turns off automatically or when the user manually controls the rate of fuel. this problem has been diagnosed by fca as a defect in a plastic valve located in the vehicle's fuel tank that reacts negatively with gasoline additives, specifically ethanol. fca does not consider this to be a safety issue. as the vehicle owner, i consider the fact that the vehicle spews gasoline out at me while refueling to be a safety issue and request that the national highway traffic safety administration takes steps to require fca to resolve this issue before someone is burned. thank you. *tr updated 9/15/15*cw *cn

When filling the gas tank, it will overflow, spilling gas on the side of the jeep wrangler, the tire and the ground. it seems like the flapper valve in the filler neck isn't preventing spills. it happens everytime i've filled up, so i try not to fill the tank anymore. i believe it's a serious safety and fire hazard. one spill was so big, the gas station employees had to use kitty litter to soak it all up

I was traveling at about 45 mph on open road when the vehicle shook so bad i pulled off the road, because i had trouble hanging on to the wheel. i looked this up and it was called a death wobble. i bought the vehicle used in 2013 after trading in a 1999 wrangler that i never had such a problem with. i have replaced the stabilizer bar and stabilizer link bushings, track bar and bushings and still get a wobble but not as bad. there is certainly something wrong but no one is admitting it. why does it take someone getting seriously injured or killed to get the problem recognized and fixed.

When filling gas tank, fuel gushes (not a drop, not a trickle, rather a violent expulsion of fuel) from the fill neck. many jeep wrangler owners report the same problem. this is a serious safety issue.

Uncontrollable steering vibration at freeway/highway speeds. braking makes problem worse. i have had it inspected, tires replaced, aligned, etc. issue continues. there are many jeep wrangler owners that report the same problem. in the community of owners it is called the 'death wobble'

In one example out of many engine cuts out completely, vehicle slows down then cuts back in. 15 times, then engine cuts out and stalls. leaving me in an emergency situation on the freeway. all this during a 40 mile trip.

Very randomly, the vehicle starts to shimmy violently. have seen this complaint on several websites. thankfully we have ben able to slow down and pull off the road. have been told there is no clear cut resolve to this issue without spending a lot of money because it could be various things. want to get rid of this vehicle before something tragic happens, but am afraid because of this, will not get what vehicle is worth and someone else might die not knowing the issue. from what i understand, the name for this condition is a "death rattle"

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. while pumping fuel into the vehicle, the fuel would overflow regardless of the amount within the vehicle. the failure recurred constantly. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 5,000.

When refilling my gas tank the gas pump does not shut off and gas spills out with force causing gas to spill all over the place (myself, jeep & the ground). this is a very common problem with 2006 wranglers (tj & lj) & jeep finally needs to do something about this for these models as well. these were the wranglers that tested some of the new parts for their jk models that came out in 2007 to present. a recall has been issued for the 2007 & newer models for this same problem. how about fixing where the problem started at originally. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).” *jb

I was driving on the interstate at a speed of about 55-60 miles per hour. i drove into a curved part of the interstate that veered to the left and when i traveled through it, the whole jeep began to shake violently. i slowed down to pull over and when i reached about 40 miles per hour, the shaking stopped. i asked a mechanic about it and he said that this "death rattle" is a common problem with jeeps. we changed the tires and the steering damper. this seemed to fix the problem for a while but a year later the shaking came back. i did some investigating on the internet about the death wobble and found out that the cause can be one or more of a number of things on the front end. i had the track bar changed and that helped about 80%. now, 8 months later the shaking is back. i understand from the internet that this death wobble problem is rampant across the country with different jeep owners. yet chrysler will not admit that there is a problem. is there any recourse other than me spending hundreds to thousands of my dollars to fix a problem that is obviously the fault of chrysler?

I purchased this jeep used and the very first time i filled the fuel tank, gas spewed profusely from the tank opening without triggering the nozzle to stop as the tank was approaching full. this causes gasoline to spray all over the vehicle, the pump, the operator, and to puddle on the ground. this same scenario has played out at every gas station i have visited since. the only solution is to try to guess when the tank is close to full and stop the pump prematurely. this is a serious safety and environmental issue that warrants immediate correction from the manufacturer. i contacted the previous owner of the vehicle and she stated that the same fuel overflow problem was present the entire time she owned the vehicle. in speaking with other jeep owners, this is a very common problem with 2005-2006 jeep wrangler models and has even resulted in at least one class action law suit. please help prevent a future catastrophe and take action on behalf of the consumer asap.

The filler neck doesn't close fast enough when filling the gas tank, thus resulting in gas spewing out onto the jeep (consequently fading any fender you have installed) and onto your person. as per several car mechanics' consultations, the ethanol in gas is/has eroded the filler neck and it can't close in time. apparently the issue was addressed in later models of the jeep wrangler. it is a nearly $600 fix (including labor). temporary solution: only put about $25 in the gas tank at a time (which is inconvenient is you are constantly traveling).

When filling the fuel tank it always overflows. it does not matter the station or how the pump is in the tank. it always shoots gas out before it kicks off. i think this is a serious fire hazard and i also can spray fuel on the person filling. it sounds like this is an ongoing issue with this model and nothing has been done???

Every time the gas is filled, fuel overflows and pours onto the vehicle, ground and whomever is standing near it. *tr

Frame and body all rotted out is only 9 years old. *tr

Tank overflows when filling up with fuel. pump auto shut off does not work on this vehicle at any station. always get fuel overflow. *tr

2006 jeep wrangler unlimited after getting fuel filled i pull out of station and it starts hesitating and then stalls in middle of street. it nearly caused an accident from car behind me i had to restart and it would stall and bog few more times then run ok. today i fueled up and pulled out of station at a 6 lane divided road with an interstate with on and off ramps both sides so i had only 100 feet to cross three lanes to get into left turn lane for interstate as this lane goes under and at light turns left to on ramp, just to give you insight on situation, i fuel up pull out and it shuts off cars have to stop i am in middle of three lane dead in the water it starts back up and i pull up thank god a safe distance to car in front of me and it bogs down and the surges making the jeep thrust forward had to brake hard no accident was caused but god forbid it could have please research this. *tr

I purchased the wrangler in about october of 2009. since then, the fuel tank over-spills when it is filled at the gas pumps. it caused damage to the paint and to the plastic wheel guard. of greater concern is death wobble. the front end violently shakes at highway speeds from time to time. the vehicle is hard to control. i made attempts in 2013 and 2014 to fix it, only to have the problem return. in 2013 the steering damper and steering stabilizer bar was replaced. in 2014, the tires were replaced and aligned. the problem returned this year, and is at its worst. *tr

During the refueling process fuel will spray out of the nozzle spaying me and the vehicle. this happens without warning and will take you by surprise if you are not careful.this happens every time i have been reading about this problem with this year of jeep and it seems as if there are a lot of vehicles involved with this problem for the year i own. google "gas spill problems jeep 2006" and you will see. *tr

When refueling fuel tank on this vehicle the fuel pump will not shut off when fuel enters filling tube of vehicle thus causing fuel to be spilled out of the filling tube and onto exterior of vehicle, driving surface and fuel filling system including the hoses and pump(s). the fuel flow has such force that the person operating filling pump will also be sprayed with fuel on their person and clothes as well as areas mentioned previously. this causes a severe explosive environment in the proximity of static energy. i have never refueled my vehicle without the overflow happening unless i only partially filled my fuel tank, why have a 19 gallon tank if you can only use 2/3 of it? there is a sever danger of fire/explosion due to the amount of fuel that is spilled before the pump is stopped. *tr

Every time i fill the tank fully, since new, this vehicle has overfilled and spilled approximately 0.3 gallons of fuel. i have two friends with 05-06 jeep wranglers with the same fuel filler neck, both have the same problem. chrysler is unwilling to repair at a reasonable cost, but it is a design flaw that is dangerous to the owner of the vehicle and the environment. *tr

When filling the tank, rather than shutting off the gas, it burps and overflows. this happens every time i fill it. *tr

Filling gas got sprayed with gas on face hands and arms my skin burned i smelled like gas for a long time this is a major safty.. gas on ground on vehicle had 3 jeep wranglers all had same problems .do i have to die.. plus gas causes cancer. filling gas every 3 days geting spayed with gas.. breathing poison gas fumes. death wobble front end .plus fire risk. we need.help. now. if there is class action lawsuit look me up. safty first. help us. *js

When refueling the gasoline tank will overflow spilling upwards of a quart of gasoline on the operator,(in eyes and on cloths) the vehicle and the ground. gasoline is highly flamable! this is a very common problem with jeep wranglers of the 2005 and 2006 models happening to every single owner i have talked to.in oregon we do not pump our own gas and the station employees says "it happens with all these jeeps" when i go out of state and pump my own gas it allways splashes out getting gas everywhere. this is a widely commen problem with these vehicles and i cant belive it has been allowed to go on this long with out being address as it is very dangerous when fueling your car and getting spilled gas everywhere. *js

Death wobble! *tr

When fueling vehicle fuel spits back all over handle, vehicle and ground. happens every time fuel is pumped. design flaw that has been ignored by chrysler forever. fix requires fuel tank replacement. *tr

When refueling the gasoline tank will overflow spilling upwards of a quart of gasoline on the operator, the vehicle and the ground. just in case you didn't know, gasoline is highly flammable! this is a very common problem with jeep wranglers happening to around 90% of them. not only is this an environmental issue but a major safety issue as well. do i expect you to do anything, no. i think its time for a major class action suit against chrysler. if it puts them out of business, so be it. wake up tsa! this is not going away on its own. *tr

Gas tank overflows at the gas pump, spiting fuel everywhere. also while filling, the pump constantly shuts off as if the fill neck of the jeep is overflowing. i have to barely hold the pump in the on position in order to fill and it still overflows. this problem is dangerous and needs to be addressed. *tr

When fueling the fuel overflows every time. this can not be safe. *tr

When filling the fuel tank, the fuel overflows and spills gas on the ground. this is a defect in the overflow valve in the gas tank that causes pressure to build when the tank is near completely full during a fill-up. many other jeep owners have had the same problem according to the online jeepforum.com, wranglerforum.com and others. a recall is necessary to prevent possible fires and explosions. many other jeep owners have experienced this problem with both tj and jk wranglers. some have replaced the fuel overflow valve and solved the problem. *tr

The gas tank overflows when it is being filled. this is a serious fire hazard to both the vehicle owner and the general public as a large quantity of gas overflows out of the tank. *tr

When filling the gas tank, it spills. pressure in the tank and/or filler hose builds up and causes the fuel to spray out, prior to the tank reaching a filled condition. this has happened from the first fill-up to present...over a period of 4 years...and continues. seems to be a poor design of angle of the tank fuller hose. *tr

When i fill up with fuel after pump shuts off fuel gushes out on side of jeep and onto ground. *tr

For at least the third time, while off road jeeping in 4 wheel low, our jeep 2006 lj rubicon self accelerated on its own. once again, we roared into a tree before we could put the car in neutral or remove the key. (link to video:) https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10204011339395600&set=o.261401957266994&type=2&theater after we bought the jeep in 2009, the previous owner told us that he had experienced some self acceleration. he had it investigated by the original dealership, then took it to another jeep mechanic and contacted chrysler, who denied that there was a problem. we participate in jeep jamborees and have experienced the problem and have tried to address it after receiving advice from various guides and mechanics at the jamborees. we have had two jeep mechanics attempt solutions and we have even replaced the computer but the problem persists. once again, we roared into a tree. *tr

I bought a used rhd 2006 wrangler sport in nov. 2013 for $18,500.00.........and you guys will not fix the gas tank that blows gas out while you are filling it, i lose at least a half a gallon of gas each time i fill it up, and it leaves a huge puddle on the ground and one time someone is going to throw a lit cigarette in it or ignite it is some way and people are going to get hurt........... i am sooooooooooooooooo upset over this, and the reason you won't fix it is because it is a rhd fleet vehicle.......it is my regular car, and i drive it everywhere, and if anything happens i will sue you until there is no tomorrow. *tr

This vehicle was purchased on 31 december 2011. the following month i experienced a severe steering shimmy traveling between 55 and 60 mph. either increasing or decreasing speed ends the severe wobble of the front wheels and steering wheel. if i am not able to increase or decrease speed the wobble would continue. during the wobble the vehicle does not respond to steering commands and is therefore very dangerous. this problem has continued to occur many times at the above speed and can be recreated on a regular basis. i have acquired the jeep tsb, but it does not provide the repair process information. in speaking with other owners the "so called" fix is to replace the steering dampener. no owner, online or in person, has reported this to stop the problem from occurring. please acknowledge and report what can be done to eliminate this problem. i like this vehicle and would like to keep it but, in this condition i am hesitant to have other family members operate the vehicle. i also do not wish to pass the problem to the next owner. *tr

Severe fuel spit back when filling up my jeep wrangler. gas spilled all over the vehicle and ground! *tr

Driving down a city road and 45-50 miles the jeep shook so hard had to pull over. we towed it to brookings or and had the front end aligned 00 . in the fall we traveled to oklahoma and we were driving jeep on a freeway and @ about 55 it started that shimmy again, so we brought new tires for it. we just took it back to tire shop 2 weeks ago for another alignment 00, service guy told us we should check with any recalls on our jeep. never could get rid of the shimmy! would be happy for a fix. *tr

Gasoline overflows while refueling. pump doesn't shut off. it appears to be a common problem with 2005 & 2006 jeep wrangler tj and lj (unlimited). *tr

Overflow of gas when filling 100% of time. *tr

Car began to violently shake when i hit a pothole on the freeway going 65mph. seat belt pinned me to seat so i couldn't safely turn around to change lanes to get off freeway. it was dark outside and very dangerous. this problem is all over the internet and known as the death wobble. it was taken the dealer to be repaired right after it happened. they replaced the steering stabilizer, but 5 weeks later it happened again. do not feel safe driving this car i have only owned for 7 months. *tr

Every time i fuel up unless i listen very carefully to the change in the sound of the gasoline from the pump into the tank the fuel filler fails to automatically cut off without overflowing. every wrangle unlimited owner i have asked experiences the same problem, yet chrysler fails to acknowledge the issue. i am personally unaware of any fires resulting from this problem, but the potential definitely exists. *js

While driving on the route smoke start coming out from air / heat vents. i stopped the car, got out of opened frond hood, but was nothing there. walked to passenger door and saw fire where passenger keeps legs. got my paperwork from the car and by the time i run away from the car the whole thing was ball of fire. *js

Since purchasing my 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited, i have had multiple issues with severe front-end instability (shimmy and shaking) when the vehicle travels approximately 50 miles per hour. immediately after purchase, i spent hundreds of dollars on front-end work, tire balance, and tire rotation work, in an attempt to resolve the issue. however, despite a slight initial reduction in the problem, the shimmy and shaking returned soon after the work i had done, and has become progressively worse. this issue is so common that thousands of people in online jeep communities have named the condition, "death wobble.," since the issue can render a vehicle virtually undrivable. i fear for my personal safety, and for that of my wife and young children when we travel in this vehicle. my request is that chrysler stop denying that there is a dangerous, potentially life threatening condition involving multiple jeep production year models. i request that a solution be engineered as quickly as possible in the interest of my family' safety, and the safety of the general public. *tr

My jeep experiences what's known as the "death wobble." it has happened for years, but i had always been told that my tires were out of balance, or that i needed a front wheel alignment. those fixes would help for a couple of months, and then the shake would return. just in the last 6-8 months did a mechanic actually tell me about the wobble, what really seems to cause it, and that it's a known issue with jeeps. my jeep is stock, with no modifications, but i still get the wobble. it occurred 3 times this morning on the 5 freeway in san diego county, each time at speeds between 55-68 miles per hour. the front end of the jeep shakes violently, and the only way to stop the shaking is to come to a complete stop. luckily, i've always been able to pull over safely to the shoulder of the freeway. a few months ago it happened, and a co-worker was following me in a different vehicle. he said my front tires were actually smoking because of the way the tires moved on the freeway. *tr

Fuel pump will not shut off when the tank is full resulting in gasoline spilled on the vehicle and all over the ground. *tr

I just bought this jeep used. i was filling it up at the gas station waiting for the pump to click off. well, it didn't. the gas spewed out of the filler neck. i thought it might have been a faulty pump. the second time i filled it up, it did it again, at a different station. this time i thought it might be something the previous owner did. it did it again tonight at a third station. i looked up the condition on the internet and low and behold, it is a common issue with my model year. this vehicle is a 2006. we are now in 2014. 8 years after production of this vehicle. why hasn't the manufacture recalled these vehicles for a fix. surely this is a safety concern. gas spewing out of the tank????? come on! *tr

At 50mph. the front end shakes hard to control can not steer have to stop. *tr

Obviously there are many complaints yet you guys are ignoring them. you fill up with gas and at top off it spits gas out that gets all over the person filling clothes. this is a major problem that you need to get off your asses and get this problem resolved before someone gets hurt. i purchased this vehicle recently and filled up 5 times and this occurred everytime. fix it! *tr

When filling the fuel tank the pump cuts off to late and creates splash back and pours gasoline on the ground and all over whoever is near by. *tr

Gas pumps will not fill vehicle properly. gasoline spills from filler neck across back end of vehicle whenever i fill vehicle with fuel. *tr

Fuel spillage at the pump. belches gas out after the pump clicks off. *tr

When filling gas tank, will not automatically shut off fuel pump which causes overflow every time. this is not intermittent. causes gas to pour out on back fender of jeep and down back quarter panel. this is a known issue with many jeep owners and is posted on multiple forums. *tr

Gas tank filler overflows or sprays fuel when tank is filled. issue is well documented and has been voluntarily recalled for vehicles model year 2007 and newer. issue is caused by failing valve in filler hose due to high concentrations of ethanol in fuel.

When fueling the jeep the pump turns off and fuel sprays out of the opening. this happens every time the tank is filled to full. when pump nozzle does not have a rubber boot the spray can cover clothing and skin. typically the spray involves between a half a cup to a cup of gasoline. *tr

I bought the vehicle used with 16,500 miles on it. a week after i was accelerating on to the interstate when i hit approximately 50 mph the jeep started to shake violently. i had to come to an almost complete stop on the interstate to get it to stop. i first thought it was the tires but it had a brand new set on it. so i had them micro balanced. it didn't do again for about 2 weeks until i tried to get on the interstate again at 50 mph. i took it to jeep because it was still under warrant and was told because it had one size larger tires it was not covered under warranty. at 19500 miles i replaced 4 ball joints, complete heavy duty drag link system with new tie rod ends, new hd track bar, 4 new shocks, new front springs, hd steering damper, tires micro balanced, wheel alignment that lasted about two months before it did it again. i now have 31,000 miles on it and still fighting the death wobble. i have spent over a 1000 dollars to try and fix this. i believe that should be looked into because someone will get killed. i think it's only a matter of time. *tr

Fuel spills all over, every time i fill the tank. *tr

I was fueling the vehicle and the automatic fuel shut off valve or whatever is inside the fuel tank malfunctioned. fuel ejected from within the fill neck and was propelled onto my face and in my eyes! i have never had this happen with any vehicle i have owned or fueled. i was standing adjacent to my vehicle as most do when getting gas, i heard the gas gurgle like it normally does, the pump clicked off and a second later my eyes were slammed shut and burning. after researching the issue i have come to find that chrysler is aware of this issue and has actually taken steps to correct it in 2007 and newer vehicles. i don't know to what extent that is true but this is a huge hazard. there is some plastic valving within the filler neck that fails to keep fuel within the tank and it is apparently adversely affected by the ethanol mixture in gasoline. that's the explanation on many web sites. i don't care what causes the issue but it is a poor, dangerous design. if it was a freak issue then i would take it in stride but to find that chrysler is aware of it and doing nothing about it for my model year is appalling. this is an issue of a highly flammable fuel under pressure being projected upwards toward anyone fueling a vehicle and it's my understanding that the nhtsa received a report from chrysler that the issue existed yet they were not required to recall any and all vehicles experiencing the issue. gasoline in the eyes is very painful. period. i was unable to drive from the gas station and had to have another motorist move my vehicle from the pumps. my daughter routinely stands by me when "daddy does things" and i can't imagine how i would have felt if she was there that day. in my opinion, your agency was developed in order to protect the motoring public from this very type of poor design in the automotive industry and i trust that you will make it right. *tr

While filling up the gas tank, my jeep will frequently spit the fuel back at me when it approaches being full. this almost always results in a significant amount of fuel left on the ground and inside the gas cap area. the gas will also spray all over the vehicle's operator and their clothing. this is definitely a potential fire hazard. a quick search on jeepforum.com reveals that this is a well-known issue among jeep owners. i've found the following threads that reference this exact problem. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/gas-filling-overflow-problem-645832/ http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/fuel-spilling-while-fueling-no-more-1191442/ http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/trouble-filling-gas-tank-spurts-then-clicks-off-679245/ http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/gas-pours-out-649842/ http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/gas-tank-filler-problem-635636/ http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/gas-explodes-not-fire-all-over-me-when-filling-up-620074/ chrysler has yet to issue a recall on this problem, and after speaking with the dealership, they wanted to charge me to fix it. jeep owners have found that the only way to fix it is to replace the filler tube with non-jeep parts (specifically, a chevy trailblazer). this is absolutely unacceptable. fuel belongs in a gas tank, not on the ground, not on the driver, not sprayed all over the side of the vehicle. *tr

While traveling across a bridge, at approximately 45 mph, after hitting a bump the stearing wheel started to wobble greatly. had to slow the vehicle to approx. 30 mph to get it to stop wobbling. when i increased speed the symptom did not happen again. i took the vehicle to a tire shop had had them ballance all wheels. when i left the shop when i reached 45 mph 10 minutes later the wobble occured again. *tr

When vehicle is being fueled up, gas leaks out of tank and spills. seems the check valve is stuck of broken. i must make sure i stop filling before it gets full so it doesn't spill. *tr

Over fills at the fuel pump all the time.

Gas spurts out of tank when i fill it up and drips all over gas station floor. the gas pump does not stop once its full like other cars and im worried spilled fuel could ignite. also bad for environment. *tr

After hitting a bump my jeep's steering violently shakes until i slow down. it feels like i may lose control of the vehicle. this has occurred on several occasions. it is very unsafe. the wheels were recently replaced and balanced which did not fix the problem. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that when refueling, the fuel pump would not shut off and caused fuel to spill out from the fuel tank. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 31,000.

I received a letter from chrysler that my onboard diagnostic monitor may be defective and that the warranty has been extended to lifetime. i did the test and it is one of the affected vehicles. i took it to ertley motorworld and was told that because i live in an area that doesn't require this pollution test now, the only way they would fix it is if i pay them $ 79.95. i said what if the test is required in the future in my area or if i move to another location that requires it or sell it to someone in that area and it won't be allowed to be licensed? i was told $ 79.95 or don't fix it. now i'm mad and out of $ 10.00 in gas for my trouble. why send these notices if it's just red tape to please the government and make fools of the consumer? *tr

At every fill up fuel spills all over myself ,my car and the floor. very unsafe! automatic shut off never kicks in when full. how many complaints do you need and for how many years! does anybody actually read them besides the consumer? there are over 500 complaints of this on this website alone. what does it take to get a recall? *tr

Lost breaks on vehicle. took vehicle to get fixed...was informed the break line was mounted against body and due to this and normal bouncing of the vehicle the metal cut through the break line.

The vehicle shakes violently at speeds of 50mph or above. the shaking does not stop and i must immediately stop the vehicle which has almost caused major accidents. this first incident occurred two years ago, i have replaced the shocks, steering stabilizer, upper and lower ball joints, all four tires and have had it properly aligned. the problem will stop for a few months then suddenly happen again. after doing further research i realized this is called the death wobble and that i am not the only jeep owner to experience this. this violent shaking is a serious safety hazard and is not being addressed by jeep / chrysler as a warranty or recall issue. *js

The gas tank spills every time the jeep is fueled. the neck doesn't respond fast enough that the tank is full and it continues to accept gasoline until it spits gasoline back out of the tank. the gasoline then runs down the quarter panel, onto the ground, and sometimes onto the person filling the tank if they are holding the fueling nozzle. it is not good for the environment or the vehicle. this occurs at every gas station as well. *jb

Fuel tank overflows at pump station. the vehicle is not able to tell the gas pump that the tank is full or near full. as a result, gas overflows from the filler neck onto the left rear fender, quarter panel and ground. this is unsafe and a recall should be issued by chrysler to fix this. *tr

Fueling the vehicle always results in fuel spray from the vent on the filler neck. this spray happens 100% of fuelings. the tank is often less than 90% full after this and requires topping and additional fuel spray. i have had to report to navy medical to have my eyes flushed and checked after being shot directly in the eyes while listening for the distinct sound of fuel bubbles rising to the top of the fuel filler neck. this causes on average 1/8 gallon of fuel to be spilled per fill up. over 40k miles at an average of 14mpg that is 22 gallons of fuel spilled and more evaporated. if filling stations require shut off valves, and all new vehicles require evaporative emissions systems to control environmental air quality, to the great detriment of gas mileage, why has this issue not been investigated by the federal government? why do we have to use shoddy gas cans with carb compliant nozzles which cause more fuel spills than normal fuel containers if the government is prepared to ignore this? i've begun using surplus nato jerry cans to fill my truck and avoid being soaked in dangerously flammable and cancer causing fuel. *tr

Anytime i fill the gas tank, fuel explodes out of the filler before the gas hose clicks off. causing gas to splash on myself, the ground and my vehicle. i believe its a defect in the jeeps flapper valve. definitely dangerous and i'm surprised it hasn't been recalled yet as it could cause gas to be splashed in the eyes. *tr

When i fueled the vehicle and it became full, the fuel would spray back out of the filler spout as the nozzle shut off automatically. it has continued doing this until present. i asked the dealership where i bought the vehicle at about the problem. they did not know what was causing the problem. they said they could take the tank off and check it out but i would have to pay for it. i decided to just put up with it. i listen to the fuel as i fill it and shut it off manually when it sounds like it is about full. this keeps it from spraying fuel back out the filler neck most of the time. *tr

My jeep goes into a death wobble whenever i hit 50-55 mph. there are time i have to grip the steering wheel w/both hands, with a death grip for fear i will lose control of the vehicle and will leave my lane or flip over. i have driven several jeeps and other autos and have never ever ever been so frightened of crashing. this needs to be recalled by chrysler to figure out the problem. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact stated fuel would spew out from the filler neck whenever attempting to refuel the vehicle. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer was told that the occurrence was normal when refueling over the recommended capacity. in addition, the contact stated that while driving 15 mph or above, the steering wheel would become difficult to maneuver. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they replaced the tie rods but the failure was not corrected. the current and failure mileage was 24,000. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the vehicle made a loud creaking noise when shifting gears. the contact also stated that when refueling, gasoline would leak from the filler nozzle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where it was stated that the pressure point needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired and the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 4,000. *tr

I borrowed my husband's jeep and as soon as i went above 50 the whole thing started shaking real violently. i had a hard time controlling it. i pulled over and called him. he said it's been happening for a few weeks and always takes back roads to avoid driving faster. i had to put on the hazard lights and cruise to the nearest exit. thank goodness my kids weren't with me because i wasn't strong enough to control it. it scared the daylights out of me. then i saw online it was a common problem(with modifications-too bad we never did any) but not a big enough deal to have a recall. let them drive it and see how quick it gets done. dangerous. they say it's an easy fix after you try half a dozen things. great! let me get my checkbook... *tr

When putting gas in my jeep using a fuel pump gas runs out all down the side of my vehicle and makes a puddle on the ground before the pump clicks off. this has been happening for over a year now. it happens every time i fill up my car unless i happen to hear how close the gas level is getting and shut the pump off on my own. *tr

Fuel tank spits out gasoline when filling tank this happens 99 times out of 100 when fueling. *tr

While filling the gas tank the pump never shut off causing gas to spill everywhere. faulty check valve in fuel tank. should be recalled. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler . the contact stated that while refueling, fuel spewed back onto the contact without warning. the contact stated the vehicle was not taken to a dealer for a diagnosis. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 10,000 and the current mileage was 25,000. *tr

When you reach approx. 48 miles an hour, the front end wobbles and you loose control of the vehicle. very dangerous, especially with children in the car. *tr

My 2006 jeep wrangler tj spills fuel when the gas tank is filled completely, enough to cover the rear corner and leave a medium sized puddle underneath the vehicle. i use ethanol free gasoline. the vehicle has not been treated poorly, and all of the components are oem. i've researched this problem in your data base and have found over 300 complaints for my model year alone that match. i've been a firefighter for 12 years, so i know when a problem can be serious, and this is one. i've looked online and there are people hacking in parts from other manufacturers to fix this, however i'm not comfortable with this idea. *tr

While traveling on a slight grade at approx 60 mph vehicle downshifted then noted plume of white smoke exiting from rear i vehicle. upon pulling over a small engine compartment fire was noted an easily extinguished. upon further inspection ride side of engine compartment was notes to be covered in transmission fluid. this was right side only further inspection revealed transmission fluid coming from right sided transmission breather tube just behind dipstick on right side. cause on fluid discharge appears to be an over heating or pressurization of transmission case as there are no other ports of exit. trams case is intact and areas around transmission are dry free of debris or evidence of leakage. fluid level prior to event was correct and no possibility of over filling as fluid level was inspected on regular basis. contact dealer and was advised there is no possible way transmission fluids are capable of causing fire. dealer stated also no possible way fluid could be coming from breather tube. they did offer a quote for repair of $3800 to $4000 to repair problem. this all was done without offering to even inspect the vehicle. *tr

Gas tank has splash back every time you fuel it spilling gas out onto fender and ground. *tr

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

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

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

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

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

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

When filling up the gas tank, gas will pour out when it's full/overfull and sometimes spray gas everywhere. *tr

Fuel spills every time i fill the tank. the thing that is supposed to shut off the nozzle does not work. *tr

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

Uncontrollable wobble in front axle/wheels and shaking of steering wheel.

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

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that after adding fuel to the vehicle, the fuel pump automatically shut off and fuel sprayed out of the filler neck. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the mechanic stated the fuel purge valve had to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 36,000.

When filling the fuel tank, regardless of fast or slow, gas spews out of the fill port when the tank if full. fast, it spews gas about 2 feet out from the vehicle, slow, it just runs out the filler spout without shutting the pump off. this is very dangerous as i usually loose a couple cups of fuel on the ground every time i fill up. *tr

Check valve fails causing fuel to spill or "spit back" onto the ground or the person refueling the vehicle. *tr

Fuel system spews fuel all over vehicle and operator when filling. will not shut off on its own. *tr

When filling the fuel tank at a gas station, the pump handle clicks off, and fuel pours down the side of the vehicle. *tr

When fueling, it always overflows and spills fuel out from the gas tank. it seems to be a bit better if i manually hold the fuel pump and pump the gas at an extremely slow rate. i am not able to let the pump automatically fill otherwise fuel spills. this happens every time i fuel the jeep. *tr

Fuel sprays over onto the ground, jeep and owner when refueling. *tr

Consistently, while refueling the vehicle, regardless of fill rate, if the nozzle is not stopped manually, gasoline erupts from the filler neck when the tank is full. it is usually enough to leave gas dripping down the vehicle and a small puddle underneath. this happens each and every time it is filled. *tr

Fuel spill on every fill up. *tr

When filling fuel tank gas pump shuts off too late, results in fuel spillage every time vehicle is filled unless the tank is not filled completely. gas blows back onto hand of person filling vehicle causing personal injury hazard, and also spills onto ground and vehicle causing fire hazard. the shut-off works, but comes too late to be effective - usually pump shuts off then momentarily later gas flies out of filler neck. *tr

Fuel splash-back upon filling vehicle with fuel. fuel covers out side corner of vehicle and ground creating hazardous conditions as well as polluting ground water. *tr

I was filling up the jeep and the gas spill out form the nozzle. i have read online and it seems to be a constant issue. this is not the first time it happened to me and i have been to several different gas stations. *tr

When filling the gas tank there doesn't appear to be any shut-off when the tank is full. i've owned the jeep for 2 months now and this has happened 3 times. when the gas tank gets full it spits out the gasoline instead of shutting off the pump handle like it is supposed to. i have searched the internet and have not found any mention of a recall for this problem. please advise if there is a fix for this. *tr

Ever since i bought my 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon, i have problems when refueling the car. i bought my car second-hand. if i leave the gas nozzle on 'auto', the auto-shutoff of the pump shuts off too late, resulting in a gush of gasoline squirting out of the tank. the only way to prevent any spilling of gas during fuelling is to listen to the noise that the escaping air out of the tank makes, or guesstimating roughly how much gas the car needs, then manually very slowly continue to fill up. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that while unloading goods from the passenger's side of the parked vehicle, the vehicle began to roll away in reverse and downhill until crashing into another parked vehicle. the contact suffered injuries to the head. the vehicle was towed to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the vehicle allowed her to erroneously remove the key from the ignition without the vehicle being shifted into park. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified but offered no assistance. the failure and current mileage was 54,700.

At 53 mph the front end starts what is well known as a death wobble. this is a very well known problem that jeep needs to do a recall on and fix. my jeep shakes so bad it will jerk the steering wheel out of your hands. *tr

Now that have forced chrysler to recall jeep models for airbag problems how about forcing jeep/chrysler to recall and fix jeep for the "death wobble". i first experienced this last year. at about 50mph the vehicle began to shake violently. i thought i was in a blender. i checked the internet and jeep forum and found this to be a common problem with jeep wranglers. i even checked with the jeep dealer here in oklahoma and was told it could be the ball joints, steering cylinder and/or even worn tires. he even acknowledged the problem. my mechanic said the ball joints were good... the tires just ok. but steering cylinder would probably need replacing. so i paid $145.00 to the jeep/chrysler dealer for a new steering cylinder. turns out the one i purchased was much bigger then the one i replaced. it still shook a little until i replaced the tires at another $650.00. this needs to be investigated. i hope you will look into this. please before someone gets hurt and maybe already has. thanks *tr

Each time i refill the fuel tank, there is a large amount of splash back of fuel out of the filler after the gas pump shuts off when it detects that the tank is full. it started happening around 30000 miles on the odometer and happens every time i refuel the jeep. *tr

Adding gasoline to gas tank at a filling station with a standard pump nozzle, will always result in an expulsion of gasoline from the vehicle filler opening when the tank is full. the pump nozzle does shut off the delivery of fuel, but a suspected design flaw permits gasoline to erupt out of the filler opening, which will splash onto an unsuspecting person doing the refilling, onto his shoes, and run down the outside of vehicle, creating an unnecessary health and safety hazard. video documentation can be easily found with a quick search on youtube. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler 4x4. the contact stated that after putting on her seat belt and trying to tighten it, the metal part inside the chair failed. the vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to determine what caused the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. the failure and current mileage was 61,113.

When fueling my jeep wrangler and all gas stations, the gas tank overflows when before the fuel cutoff switch on the gas pumps kicks off. every single time this happens. there is a problem with the filler hose somehow from the factory. not only does it leak out the top of spout but it sprays everywhere, on clothes and anything nearby within 3 feet. probably half a cup of gas give or take at every fuel stop in my estimation. *tr

I own a 2006 jeep tj rubicon & am having a refueling issue at the gas pump. at first it overflowed maybe twice. now i can't refuel without the shut -off (on the gas pump) shutting off. the only way i can refuel is by holding the pump lever gently which does results in an over flow. i talked to chrysler customer service & they said this is the first time they have heard of this problem & made an appointment for me for diagnostics a my local dealership which will cost me $120.00 for a problem that other tj owners are talking about on the internet. this has been a refueling problem for the last 6 months. *tr

While pumping gas at multiple different gas stations, the pump failed to shut off when the fuel tank became fuel. as a result of the pump not shutting off, fuel spilled out of the tank as it became overfilled. i did not leave the pump nor did i set the lock on the pump so i would not have to hold the pump handle during any of the times i have pumped gas into the vehicle to avoid spilling fuel the best i can. this happens at many different stations that i fill my fuel tank up at, the only common denominator in my situation is the vehicle itself. the vehicle has not been modified in any way that would interfere with normal fuel pumping procedure. *tr

I bought this vehicle used and the first time i went to fill up with gas, i put the nozzle in the filler opening and squeezed the handle all the way. i locked the handle so the gasoline would continue to flow and let go of the nozzle. around the 16 gallon mark, gasoline shot out of the filler opening and then poured down the side of the jeep. enough came out that it created a small puddle on the ground. gasoline got all over the side of the jeep and the fender. it also sprayed my hand as i was standing near it. i had to wipe down the fender and side of jeep because i didn't want to cause any damage to paint or plastic. i found this same problem each and every time i've filled the tank since that time. i've tried different gas stations and nozzles but it doesn't seem to matter. this is completely unacceptable in my opinion and forces me to barely trickle the gas into the tank by only squeezing the handle part way. if i don't do this, i spill gas onto the ground and the side of my jeep with each fill. after researching this problem, i've found it is very common in my model year and the years surrounding. why won't chrysler just fix this?! *tr

When filling up the gas tank, fuel sloshes out of the filler spout just before the pump clicks off. the back-splash volume is large enough to splash onto clothes, run down the side of the vehicle, and leave a small puddle of gasoline on the pavement. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that while refueling the vehicle, fuel spewed back onto the contact. the failure recurred every time the contact refueled the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who performed an inspection and advised that the problem was caused by a defective check valve in the fuel system. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure who offered to cover half of the repair costs. the failure mileage was 40,000. the current mileage was 98,000. updated 10/10/12 *cn

Regardless of how fuel nozzle is placed, fuel tank over fills approx 1/8th-1/3th gallon of fuel. i fear this could cause a fire in the event fuel splashed onto brake rotor or other hot components, not to mention the environmental and financial impact of this issue directly related to poor design. *tr

Every time i refuel my 2006 jeep the gas sprays out of the filler tube until i remove the gas pump manually. this is a known jeep issue that requires a replacement gas tank. our environment and my body/clothes should not get covered in gasoline every time i refuel! please make chrysler fix all jeep models with this issue. *tr

On friday, 07.27.12, when driving on the highway, the vehicle began to shake/wobble wildly, and i thought that i had a blowout in the right front tire. i pulled over on the shoulder, but, to my surprise, the tire was fine, and i could see no visible problems. i proceeded down the highway, but, after about a mile, the vehicle began to shake/wobble wildly again (almost uncontrollably), to the point where i literally thought the right front wheel was falling off. luckily, i was able to pull to the shoulder without causing an accident. i drove slowly along the shoulder, exited the highway at the next opportunity, and called the dealership. after making sure that the lug-nuts were tight, i drove (via city streets, to minimize speed) back to the dealership. the service technician determined that the problem was wheel balancing. that said, when i hit a bump in the road, the vehicle's right front end still wobbles. in the interim, i did some google'ing, and i found that numerous other (?death wobble?) cases have been reported nationwide (including hundreds to the nhtsa). chrysler has issued multiple tsbs, and there is a maintenance notice acknowledging ?steering vibration? (a monumental euphemism; the issue goes way beyond a simple vibration) on the jeep website. in short, chrysler is well-aware of the existence and severity of this problem. the matter has been addressed by a san francisco tv station (kgo-tv), and even two members of the u.s. congress who sent inquiries/complaints to both chrysler. despite all of the first-hand accounts, publicity, and requests for action, the nhtsa has done nothing. this is clearly a design flaw/defect, and the nhtsa needs to force chrysler to issue a safety recall. jeep owners need to be made aware of the existence/possibility of this dangerous condition, and chrysler should incur the costs of its diagnosis and correction. *tr

The front end wobbled severely at 50 miles per hour causing a loss of control. *tr

When filling up gas tank, fuel spills from the filling port all over once it is full. this happens every time i fill up and has done since i purchased the car in february 2011. *tr

While driving the jeep wrangler on a smooth pavement @ 55mph the steering wheel began shaking violently and the entire vehicle was shaking. it seemed as if both front wheels were loose. i immediately braked, pulled off the highway to a complete stop. upon finding nothing loose i proceeded down the highway, upon reaching 55mph the vehicle repeated the shaking. i have replaced the track bar, steering dampener, front brake rotors, brake pads, new tires, wheels checked with calipers,and 2 alignments. i still cannot exceed 55mph without the violent shaking. *tr

At around 45mph 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 could cause me to be rearended. also a driver could panic and wreck as a result. vehicle has no suspension modification. tires have been balanced and vehicle has proper alignment. i believe this to be the phenomenon known as "death wobble". *tr

I have been experiencing the "death wobble" on my jeep since i bought it used in 2007. it only occurs when i am between the speed of 45 and 50 mph. my jeep shakes so violently i have to grab the steering wheel to hold it straight and decrease my speed dramatically to get it to stop. i've read 1000's of other complaints online - i know i'm not the only one with this issue. it was still under warranty at the time and i took it to the dealership and had several repairs done. they replaced the steering dampener and front axle. i was told that after that when it still occurred that i needed different tires - so i spent $600.00 on new tires and it still happens. doesn't have all the time - but enough to where i feel unsafe. this is my only vehicle and i cannot afford to get a new car right now but if i could i would!!! i called jeep and filed a complaint and they gave me a case number and told me that i had to pay for a diagnostic test to be done and after that they would help me with some of the costs of the repairs. they told me someone would be in touch within 24 hours to schedule the diagnostic (which i think i shouldn't have to pay for since i took it years ago and its never been fixed) but i've never heard from anyone. jeep needs to open their eyes-- what has to happen before they act on this? an accident? hopefully this complaint can be used to warn others not to buy a jeep product. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 a jeep wrangler. the contact stated that while driving over 50 mph the front of the vehicle started to shake violently. the contact mentioned that he was unable to drive the vehicle at highway speeds. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 29,000 and the current mileage was 30,000.

Every time i fill up with fuel, the fuel overflows out of the vehicle and dumps gasoline onto me and the ground. this has a long term health effect on persons filling the vehicle. it has an immediate effect on the environment, and i will be notifying the epa of this issue as well. i see from various jeep websites that this is a long standing issue that has not been addressed. *tr

Every jeep owner i have talked to has a filling splash-back problem when filling their gas tank. why hasn't there been a recall on all the jeeps and other models with this same problem.. get going on this it is not an isolated problem. all jeeps,,,,, can you read ? all are having this problem... big safety and health issue. not one place but here did i find to list the problem as a safety issue. too many sitting on their backsides and doing nothing on this safety issue. read between the lines and get going. a very disgruntled tax payer and owner of a faulty product that is un-safe and un-healthy with nothing being done about it. get my drift?..... *tr

I was filling up my 06 jeep wrangler and i got sprayed with fuel on my body, jeep and ground. the problem has happened every time i try to fill my tank up to full. im concerned that static electricity might ignite this, myself or another human being. jeep/ chrysler refuses to fix this on my jeep. the same exact same thing was happening to my wife's 07 chrysler aspen and it was recalled and fixed. we bought both vehicles new and they have never been wrecked. jeep/ chrysler are risking peoples lives with this issue. *tr

Experience dangerous front wheel wobble when minor pavement bumps or deformations are hit at between 40-45mph. was fixed once several years ago at owner expense by dealer (replace front dampener). now is showing early signs of the deficiency returning at less than 50,000 miles. tires are very well maintenanced and are rotated / balanced per tire manufacturer recommendation (complete receipts available). vehicle has very low (almost non-existent) off-road use. i am the original owner of the vehicle and have a completely documented history. i also have over 34 years driving experience. the front dampener should not require replacement every 20-25k miles at around $450 / per occurrence. this appears to be a regularly recurring problem over several years with almost all wranglers. if this doesn't warrant a recall, what exactly does???? come on now.... *tr

While driving around 35 miles per hour on the interstate my vehicle began to shake. this shaking began to increase over a period of about 10 seconds. the entire vehicle was shaking violently at this point, requiring that i slow down in order to regain control of my vehicle. this shaking continued to occur whenever i accelerated about 35 mph on a random basis. *tr

When my 06 jeep wrangler hits a road bump at approx 50 mph at times violent shaking occurs and last until i slow to about 30mph. the jeep is nearly uncontrollable. *tr

Tl* the contact own a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that while driving 25 mph, he noticed that the vehicle was running rough. the contact then drove into his driveway and the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was towed to the dealer. the dealer stated that the gear pump cracked and caused the engine to seize. they stated that they needed to replace the engine. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and stated that they would cover a portion of the repair costs. the failure and current mileages were 39,000.

Every time i fill up my wrangler, it burps out fuel. this happens regardless of the speed of flow the gas( i have had this issue when slowly filling up as well as when the pump is engaged and "locked" on too. it is ridiculous that fuel spills every time i have to get some. *tr

Gas spill out when fueling to now will not take gas at all without major spillage. *tr

More than half of the times i fill the fuel tank, the filler nozzle does not shut off, spraying fuel outside the vehicle. *tt

When my 2006 jeep wrangler hits a bump or an imperfection in the road while travelling at 45mph and above, the jeep will begin to shake so severely that a crash seems inevitable unless i slam on the brakes and pull over on the shoulder. this has happened to me more than i can count and continues to be a dangerous problem. please help!!! *tr

When refueling the vehicle, the gas tank overflows and spills a lot of gas. initially thought it was the pump, however, it happens at every gas station. this seems to be a significant safety hazard and someone could get hurt. *tt

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact started the ignition and a loud noise emitted from the engine compartment. the contact proceeded to drive and eventually the noise stopped however, a few moments later the noise recurred. the vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road and inspected under the hood area. the contact was a certified mechanic and detected that the oil pump drive assembly was faulty. the manufacturer was not notified of the problem. the approximate failure mileage was 72,681.

Every time i fill up the tank, fuel is ejected from the filler hose and goes all over the side of the jeep and the ground and usually myself. the auto-shut off works on the pumps but fuel still comes out. i've tried using "half throttle" on the pump but still have the same problem. i've looked through many jeep forums and it appears there is a fairly large range of wranglers throughout different model years that have this issue. how has this not been a recall? this can't be safe to have fuel shooting out every time you fill up. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact was traveling 40-45 mph when the front end started to shake. the vehicle was taken to a private mechanic. the mechanic confirmed the front end stabilizer bar needed to replaced. the manufacturer was not contacted. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 72,000.

Since new every gas fill burbs gas back out of the filler hose on to rear fender and ground.

When fueling vehicle, at about 7/8 full point, gas sprayed out of fuel neck onto me. then cut off on the pump never engaged. has happened numerous times. *js

When filling the gas tank a significant amount of gas spills out simultaneous with the first shut-off of the gasoline pump. multiple different pumps at multiple different gas stations of multiple different brands do it consistently -- i can no longer rember the last time this did not happen. manually slowing the delivery rate down to 1% of the normal delivery rate as the tank approaches full can reduce, but only sometimes eliminate the condition. i believe this is an environmental hazard due to the spilled gas. i believe this is a fire risk, as well as a risk to personal property from the splashing gas. i'm told that this is due to a bad valve in the fuel tank that was designed to stop this condition, but that valve sticks. my vehicle has never had any gas over 10% ethanol (unless some gas stations.. well, you know), and certainly not often (unless, of course, gas stations lie a lot). *tr

I was traveling down ih37 at 65 mph, mile marker 88, when the transmission oil overheated causing transmission oil to leak onto the exhaust manifold resulting in a fire, causing a total loss of the transmission. conditions at the time of loss where: vehicle was in cruise control mode, temperature 90 f, level terrain, speed 65 mph. there was no indication or warning prior to the failure. engine was operating at normal 2500 rpm. *tr

When i fill up fuel tank, as i get close to full, gas spits out of tank, also happens if i relaease fuel pump handle. have had tank replaced. work ok for about a year, now it spits gas again. *tt

During refueling gasoline spits back out of the fuel filler tube neck at the end of the fill onto the ground and the person refueling the jeep if holding the nozzle. the personal information section of this form will not accept as valid my phone number in germany [xxx]. the number i placed in the phone fields is not valid. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. while driving approximately 35 mph, the contact drove over a road bump when the front end of the vehicle began to shake vigorously. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the mechanic replaced the stabilizer bar twice. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 72,000.

Everytime i fill up my jeep wrangler gas shoots out and spills all over my fender and ground, i have never had any car do this ever and i know it's a defect that jeep is aware of and won't fix them under warranty which they should. *tr

When fueling up, many times the fuel pump will shut off and the fuel will spill out of the filler neck. i've tried slowing down the flow of fuel just prior to a full tank with no change. it happens a lot, but not every time. i've tried angling my vehicle with the filler neck down hill and up but it randomly spills fuel. i've tried waiting once coming to a stop prior to turning off the engine with no rhyme or reason to when it will spill fuel. *tr

Every time i fill up my gas tank , the vehicle doesn't detect when it's full and spits gas up all over the car and myself. this is very dangerous as fuel also ends up all over the ground. please help! *tr

When filling my gas tank at any gas station, the gas spills (or actually shoots out) out. this is a serious safety and environmental issue. i just took it to the shop after getting gas all over me. i spent $100 on diagnostics. i have heard that this is a known problem and jeep/chrysler is too cheap to cover it by recall. i've heard of a group that is talking to tort attorneys so i will look into that next. *tr

Every time i fill up the fuel tank at the gas station (any gas station) the gas overflows and spills out on the ground. *tr

Every fuel fill up the gas burps back up the fill hose and all over the side of the jeep and onto the ground. it will do this even when filling as slow as possible. this is not only annoying but of course wastes gas and creates a fire hazard and environmental contamination. several other jeep owners around here say their wranglers do the same thing. *tr

Experiencing "death wobble" when driving over manholes and/or storm sewer grates. uncontrollable shaking in front suspension and steering. vehicle taken to dealership for repairs on 03/05/2012. has been at dealer for 25 days. repair parts/labor currently at $1050+tax. vehicle in worse condition than prior to having repairs. has now also developed a "shimmy" in the steering that was not present when vehicle brought in to dealer. vehicle will be retrieved on 03/31/2012 and taken to different auto repair shop. problem not unique to my vehicle. research of problem on internet has numerous similar complaints. please help prior to vehicle causing accident and injuries/death to myself or others. clearly a manufacturing default, ie. poor design and no solution for correcting the problem. *js

The car experienced violent front end wobble when going over uneven pavement, more severe when brakes were applied. the dealer said that the brake rotors were warped and replaced them (there was only approx. 11,000 miles on the car at that time, which i had bought new). the problem recurred off and on, but to a lesser degree. the problem recurred in the summer of 2009, with less than 20,000 miles driven. i had the front stabilizer bar replaced on 9-3-11. the problem continues to occur sometimes to a lesser degree and sometimes to a greater degree depending on vehicle speed. when the wobble is severe, control of the jeep is difficult, with one instance of going off of the road until i slowed down to approximately 30 mph and regained control. *tr

I bought my jeep in november 2006 with 600 miles on the odometer. it is a stock vehicle with no after-market additions, has not been driven off-road at all and has never been in an accident. recently, while driving at 55 mph on a paved highway, violent front end vibration occurred for no apparent reason that almost caused me to loose complete control of my vehicle. my mechanic has replaced the steering damper, shock absorbers, bushings, steering rods, etc. violent vibrating has continued. on google i have since found out about "jeep death rattle" or "jeep death wobble". apparently jeep dealers are uninterested in the phenomenon because it is only discussed on google. since this is a well known phenomenon among jeep owners i am wondering why the nhtsa hasn't required jeep to issue a recall to find a solution for these vibrations and come up with a fix for the problem. by ignoring this problem nhtsa is allowing a dangerous condition to persist thus endangering jeep drivers and others on the road. ## vin passed ## 2006 jeep wrangler 2 door 4x4 ##. *tr

Fuel spray/overflow when refueling. this could be very dangerous! when refueling, there was significant blowback or a very heavy mist which saturated my shirt and pants with gas. fuel then began to run down the side of my jeep, onto the ground. this occurred simultaneously with the auto shutoff function of the pump. *tr

When filling vehicle gasoline sprays out of the tank in large amounts. it sprays out with such force it will cover your legs if you are standing near by. *tr

This started in october 2011 with my 2006 jeep wrangler. when i put gas in the tank, as soon as its full and the pump shuts off, gas bursts out of the tank all over the jeep, the ground, everywhere. this is certainly a safety issue, along with an environmental issue! i'm hearing about so many jeeps that are doing this. why is there no recall? i'm having it looked at by my local jeep dealer, but so far they said chrysler is aware of this but has "no fix" on this situation.

Gas still out when filling up gas tank. the system doesn't stop at gas pumps all other cars ever driven. gas always stills out before it stops the pump. this occurs at all pumps and appears to be a common and ongoing issue with jeep owners. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that while attempting to close the hood, both safety latches fractured without warning. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the hood latch would need to be replaced. the vehicle had not been repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the defect. the approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

Fuel sprays out of filler neck when refueling the vehicle. *tr

When adding fuel to the 2006 jeep wrangler either with an automatic shut off pump or by hand the fuel over sprays out of the nozzle hole when the tank becomes full. this happens at any speed you add fuel spilling gas all over the side of the vehicle, on the person adding the fuel, and all over the ground at the gas station. this most likely is caused but vacuum pressure not being released correctly by the fuel inlet hose and would be a design and manufacture flaw. *tr

Opda has a high pitched squealing noise coming from it. from what i read this can lead to engine failure. *tr

All of the sudden my jeep started taking for ever to fill and shoots gas out all over me and the ground... i have to stand a there and barely let the gas trickle into the tank and i cannot even set it on the lowest lever for handle it takes me about 20 min to put 40.00 dollars worth of gas in it,,,, the dealer said there is no recall for this and was not covered under the emissions warranty... they also told me to check fuel filler pipe for obstructions and to pull our my vapor canister and clean it.... i did both and it didn't fix a thing..im also understanding that there are hundreds of people having this problem..... i worked for chrysler dealerships for years and really don't understand why they wont take any actions.... i bought this jeep brand new from where i was working at... it was my dream vehicle... now im not so sure... *tr

Whenever i add gasoline (from any station), a considerable amount of fuel will slosh back out of the filler right before the pump kicks off. checking with the dealer and other sources, it's a known problem. however, jeep is only concerned with fixing the 2007 and newer jk models. their fix for those models is an extension of the warranty. my other sources say that it's rampant in years prior as well. the dealer service manager says it's the "rollover valve" that goes bad. the valve isn't repairable. the entire fuel tank needs replaced. *tr

The auto shut-off feature of the fuel system does not work. when i fill up the gas tank, fuel will spray / spill out. the first occurrence that i experienced was around 40k miles. i brought it to the dealership (as it was still under warranty). they advised me that they could find nothing wrong. at that point, it was occurring intermittently. at some point shortly after the warranty expired, the auto shut-off feature of the fuel system failed completely. now, every time that i fill up the gas tank, fuel will spray / spill out. this issue continues to this day. this is a safety issue (fuel spilled on the vehicle, on the operator and on the ground) and an environmental issue (fuel spilled on the ground), not to mention the economic issue of paying for wasted gasoline at about $4 per gallon. based upon the number of reported issues with this, i can't believe that there has not been a recall to remediate this problem. there is definitely something faulty with the design and/or manufacture of the parts used in the 2006 jeep wrangler. this is not something that someone should have to deal with in a vehicle that they purchased when new and have impeccably maintained. *tr

Every time you fill the vehicle up with gas, gas comes pouring out of the filler opening. this happens on all types of gas pumps. something is wrong with the tank of venting system because the pumps never automatically shut off when the tank is full. gas spills all over the side of the car. many other jeep owners have this same problem.

When filling the gas tank every time the fuel sprays out of the filler nozzle before the pump can auto shutoff. every time - this causes gas to leak down the side of the vehicle, on me before i learned to get out of the way and all over the ground. the only way to stop this from happening is to not fill up all the way with gas. otherwise it does this every single fill up. *tr

The gas always over fills and spills out when your filling it up. this happens everytime i fill up the gas. it does not matter what station i am at or what the weather is like. this has been happening ever since i bought the jeep. everyone i know that owns a jeep has the same problem occurring. this is a major fire hazard and also not what i want to happen when gas is almost $4.00 a gallon. *tr

When filling gas tank. fuel spits out of fill tube before pump auto shut off kicks in. fuel is spilled on vehicle, filling stations ground and fuel get on the person filling the tank. has happened to myself as well as people at "full service" stations. *tr

Fuel overflow - fuel always overflows at the completion of refueling. regardless of how nozzle is inserted once the tank is full, fuel will overflow presenting a safety hazard, harming the environment, and damaging the vehicle. *tr

At 20,000 miles on the jeep any time that we fill the gas tank, at any station, it spills out 1/2 to 1 cup of fuel and sprays all over the place. this is unsafe for us personally and the environment. it doesn't make a difference if the pump is going fast or slow it spits constantly and then spills out at the end. we never top off. the jeep currently only has 22,000 miles on it. *kb

When filling gas tank, pump nozzle will not shut off automatically. consistent problem at every gas station, resulting in gasoline spilling out onto side of vehicle and onto ground before nozzle shuts off. jeep has only 8,500 miles on it. *tr

Upon commencement of fuel refilling, the fuel does not enter the tank, fuel spills are recurrent and of a large quantity. when fuel level reaches near capacity, fuel spillage occurs. *tr

Every time i fill up fuel spews out. i have tried slow, fast, different gas stations and it still happens. i now understand this is a very common problem and jeep has refused to rectify it. *tr

When filling up the tank on my 2006 rubicon unlimited, fuel will overflow without warning. it does this every time i fill up. if i do not stop it in time, fuel will overflow out with enough force that it will cover the side of the jeep and who ever is filling it up. my 2007 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited did the same thing and chrysler recalled it and replaced the tank and i have had no issues since. *tr

Fuel overflows each time the tank is filled. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that when refueling, fuel would leak onto the ground. the dealer repaired the failure by replacing the fuel tank but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 16,000 and the current mileage was 40,000.

2006 lj "unlimited" jeep wrangler fuel overflows from filler nozzle when filling up. happens when pump nozzle cuts off when tank is full. happens every time. spews gas out of nozzle onto ground and down the side of the jeep. *tr

While refueling my jeep the filler neck spits fuel out even after i let off the handle on the nozzle. *kb

When filling my completely stock jeep wrangler, fuel shoots out of the filler, even with the nozzle clicking off. it does it every single time i fill it up. i previously owned a 2005 jeep wrangler x and it did it on that one as well. if i don't remember it does this i end up wearing gas all over myself, not to mention it shoots out so violently it has almost splashed the cars on the other side of the gas pumps. *tr

Every time you fill up with gas the fuel tank will overflow while pumping gas. *tr

Every time i fuel up at the gas station it overs flows spilling on the ground before shutting off. this is well know defect and happens to almost ever jeep owner i know. *tt

The problem started with gas shooting out of the filler neck prior to the fuel pump automatically shutting off. this was repeated at every fill up at numerous gas stations. for the past 8 months i can not fill the fuel tank without the fuel nozzle repeatedly shutting off. i can only add fuel at an extremely slow pace or not at all. it has become so bad that i now carry a gas can, it's faster to fill the can then pour it in the tank! tt

Every time i fill my gas tank full it spills out all over the place. the pump will shut off but fuel shoots out all over the ground and jeep. *tr

Every time we fill up the fuel tank the fuel spills over and runs down the side of the vehicle causing a stain on the paint we have now resorted to listening to the fuel as it fills in an attempt to stop it and that only works once in a while we have put the pump on slow but this does no good either i have read many jeep forums and this is a common problem not only does it waste fuel but it is an air pollution issue and a fire safety hazard most of the forums say the fuel tank needs to be replaced due to a sticking valve but that is very expensive (this is what some have had to do to fix the problem) also i own two jeep grand cherokees and have never had this problem with either of them so i was surprised when this happened on the wrangler as it was the most recent purchase if it is a defect in design i think chrysler should fix it at no charge to the consumer before someone is hurt. *tt

When filling my fuel tank by hand the pump shut off too late and spilled gas all over the side of my jeep. this happens at every gas station no matter the circumstances. *tr

Just bought the jeep late september and everytime i fill it the gas spills out all over me, the jeep and the ground. its not always reliable to guess when it is close to done so i tend to stand back so it misses me. still gas goes everywhere which is a safety hazard. i have heard from other jeep owners that this is a common problem, and the price to fix it has doubled. the jeep dealer tells me that they cover the fix for 2007 and 2008 but not 2006. really? why would that be?

Upon filling the gas tank there is consistent fuel spill back. fuel spews from the filler opening. second owner, not sure if this has been occurring prior to date and mileage above. *kb

I'm writing the nhtsa to provide my experience with a gas overflow issue on my 2006 jeep unlimited. without fail, at each fill-up, the gas nozzle will allow gas to backflow out of the filler neck, past the vapor recovery system and spray outward and drain down the car. in most cases, as much as 1.5-2 quarts of gasoline is spewing out of the filler neck. in almost all cases, employees from the station must come out and complete remediation efforts to absorb the spilled gas. in most cases, i receive a good dousing of gas on my hands and clothes. i have contacted the dealership and because my car is out of warranty due to age, not miles, they have informed me that i will need to pay upwards of $1,000 for a new gas tank with the same faulty check-valve design. i understand that chrysler is aware of the issue and that they state the cause to be from a swollen check-valve related to ethanol gas. i am at a loss as to how to proceed and am looking for the nhtsa to step in and force a recall. *tr

When filling the gas tank, the gas pump auto shut off works, but only after spraying gasoline on me, the vehicle and the ground. this has happened 4 times in a row at different pumps of different gas stations. *tr

Overspill during refueling, every time. fuel does not stop automatically and overflows (spews) out onto side of vehicle, onto pavement and also onto driver's clothes. this has happened at numerous different gas stations and pumps. this presents a very dangerous situation and could result in serious injury or death if the fuel is ignited. *kb

When filling the gas tank the gas overflows in a spray or stream without tripping the pump shutoff. it also at times will only fill when filling extremely slow. *tr

The fuel filler on my 2006 jeep wrangler does not prevent the fuel from spilling when i fill my fuel tank. this problem happens every time (100%) i refuel. the problem occurs no matter how slowly i fill the tank. *tr spraying gasoline is dangerous and toxic. i feel this problem needs to be addressed by jeep.

When filling the fuel tank, whether the hose nozzle is operated manually or automatically, gas spurts from the tank spraying out 18"-24". this happens consistently regardless of pumping speed/pressure, ambient temperature/weather conditions or brand of gasoline. i am concerned about safety issues regarding fire and fumes as well as damage to the vehicle's paint and plastic fenders. i have had clothing ruined by the spurting gasoline. *tr

My fuel tank started overflowing around 40,000 miles. it will no longer force the fuel nozzle to shut off when the tank is full. instead it overfills and spews on the ground, my jeep, and me. i did some research and realized this is a very common problem with jeeps in my year range. please help. *tr

When i am filling up my gas tank at the gas station, the tank overflows and spills out onto the ground and on the side of my vehicle. i cannot fill the tank until the nozzle shuts off the gas because it is full. i must estimate about how full the gas tank is, and stop it before it is full. it does not matter if i leave the nozzle clicked onto self pump or if i am trying to top it off, there is nothing that sensors that it is full so it spills over. *tr

Every time i get gas at the pump, at the end of filling the tank it gushes out a ton of gasoline all over the side of my jeep, all over the pump/handle itself, creating a dangerous fire hazard. this happens every time. i've read online it's a known issue but hasn't yet had a recall or a fix? so am filing in hopes of a fix from the manufacturer. i've also read there is some kind of fix but it may be costly. but it's a safety issue and needs resolved. *tr

While refueling vehicle, when full tank condition is reached, with nozzle correctly inserted into fuel filler, liquid fuel squirts from fuel filler hose onto vehicle fender, ground and person filling tank. as time went on, condition worsened and at current time, fuel nozzle at station can only be held open half way or an automatic nozzle shutoff occurs, regardless of tank level. fuel spillage happens at every refueling stop, regardless of nozzle flow position, when full tank condition is reached. *tr

Fuel tank overfills and spills gas on the vehicle, the ground, and the person who is pumping gas everytime the tank is filled up. *tr

When filling the fuel tank, there is severe back splash when tank reaches full and nozzle automatically shuts off. *tr

I am a second owner of a 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited. after purchasing the jeep, i experienced the "death wobble". this is when the front right tire of the vehicle hits a bump at highway speeds and the front suspension goes into an undrivable wobble. to recover you either take your foot of the accelerator or attempt to brake. there are youtube videos showing this occurring. i took the jeep to a shop where the owner had a jeep and knew about the "death wobble". he aligned the vehicle and inspected all the front end suspension parts. this did not help. he balanced all the tires. this helped for but the wobble returned. after returning to the service shop the owner replaced the control arm bushings. this helped for 2-3 days. now the death wobble is back. the jeep is unsafe to drive. *tr

The gas tank overflow shutoff doesn't work. once the tank fills, gas spills out all over which could create a safety problem. *tr

Almost every time i fill my jeep with gas it overflows. a good amount of gas spills out of the gas tank before the pump shuts off. *tr

When fueling up with gas, the nozzle will shut off when tank is full and gas will then overflow out of the tank fill spout. this happens at every fueling at every gas station now. this is a sudden and new occurrence as the vehicle has never done this prior to this year. ( i have owned since new 2006) as imagined gas will flow out onto the vehicle, ground, person filling gas, etc. *tr

Since i've bought my wrangler in december 2009 the gas tank will overflow and spill out enough gas to cover the vehicle on the side below the gas cap and spill a puddle on to the ground. i've read numerous complaints about this issue and there is no recall currently out there for it. i feel this is a hazard because it means something is being left open inside the tank to allow the gas to overflow outof the fill tube. on top of this every time i fill the vehicle up im spilling gas onto the ground which is both an environmental concern and a safety issue. *tr

Fuel overflows while filling up tank creating a very hazardous condition. often times splashing on the person filling it up. *tr

Jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited fuel overflows everytime at the pump. does not matter where i fill up or how i put the nozzle in the tank. fuel pump shuts off and sits seconds later about a cup of fuel will spit out, about 1 to 2 feet and run down the body. if you were standing in the wrong spot it would be a real mess. i just purchased this vehicle used and called the previous owner - he said he bought it with 8000 miles on it and it has done it since it was new. *kb

Almost always get a "splash back" when fueling vehicle as gas station! very hard to listen and decipher if full, i try to guess how many gallons i need to fill up. spills out gas on the vehicle, on the ground, and on your feet! i have read that many of these vehicles are having the same complaint, without a recall, and it is not the gas pumps problem. *tr

We own a 2006 jeep wrangler x with around 60,000 miles on it. it started a terrible wobble in the front end that is called "death wobble" i have done multiple repairs and replacements of parts to no avail. i called the local chrysler dealership for advice their answer was to replace the steering stabilizer. i stated that this had already been done their response was " i don't know what to tell you then." this problem occurs at 50 miles per hour and when it begins the vehicle must come to complete stop to end the wobble. the jeep has been in the shop multiple times for this problem and no fix has been found. i have rotated the tires twice and that works for about a week and the problem returns. the tires have been rebalanced twice also. i have replaced all the shocks, the steering stabilizer, and it has been realigned two times. this is a major problem for many people as can be seen if "death wobble" is searched on google. there is no known repair for this problem and chrysler continues to ignore it. *tr

My 2006 jeep wrangler shakes so bad it is scary. at 45-65 mph and for no reason start shaking violently. i spent $1600.00 on new parts. new shocks, new rims,new steering damper,new tracking bar. new camber,new bushing, new control arms. nothing works. i must pull off the highway to make it stop. this jeep is dangerous!!!! *tr

A majority of the times that i fill my gas tank it overflows. i put the nozzle in and begin filling the tank and then it clicks off and immediately after the click fuel comes out of the filler and onto my jeep and the ground and my shoes and my hands if they are close to the pump. from what i've read, i'm not the only one with this problem with a jeep vehicle. *kb

Every time i get gas it overflows from the tank when it reaches fill. it is a known wrangler problem but chrysler will not issue a recall. it is dangerous, spills gas everywhere on the car, up in the air & out of the tank. *tr

Gas tank overflows when refueling, resulting in approximately 8 to 24 ounces of gasoline spilling outside of the tank, down the side of the jeep and on to the person filling the tank. this is a recurring issue that happens to varying degrees each time the jeep is refueled. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact was driving 60 mph when a squealing noise was heard from the oil pump assembly near the cam shaft. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the dealer confirmed that the oil failed to pump through the vehicle properly. the manufacturer was contacted and they advised that the vin did not qualify for repairs under nhtsa campaign id number: 06v147000 (power train: clutch assembly). the vehicle was not repaired, the vin was unavailable. the failure mileage was 35,500 and the current mileage was 37,000.

I want to report an issue with my jeep wrangler 2006. i bought this car from jeep in annapolis maryland jeep 2006 with 9,343 miles on it. two months later it began shaking uncontrollably at 50-55 mph. only at this speed. this is very scary when it happens and have almost gone off the road. the only way to stop it is to accelerate to higher speed or to slow down. i took it back to the dealer where i purchased the vehicle and they did a an alignment. the shaking stopped and 1 month later it started again. a year later, of just putting up with this i bring the jeep back to the dealer. they tell me that the cause is from worn tie rods and steering damper worn. if this is the cause of the shake then they should have told me this a year ago. i think the worn parts are a result from the shake. not the cause. either way , the jeep now has 26,000 miles and i'm already being told to put 2000 dollars into it for worn parts. these parts are wearing prematurely because of the shake but no one can determine the cause. if i had bought the car new , i could have used the lemon law but unfortunately, i bought it with low mileage used. this is a very dangerous situation and wondering if it will take a death for someone to recall these like the problem with toyota accelerator. its very frustration, and the average person does not have the time or money to fight something like this. i have seen so many people with the same complaints on the internet. something should be done. *tr

When pumping fuel into the vehicle when the tank gets full the fuel pump doesn't shut off, instead the fuel sprays out all over the side of the vehicle and on the ground. *tr

Trac bar had to be replaced after 74k. along with the replacement, steering stabilizer and alignment was required. this was a costly repair. now, 20k later, trac bar is again needing to be replaced. after much research, this issue is experienced by a huge amount of wrangler owners, but chrysler has never addressed the issue. i love my jeep, but am unsure if i would buy another. this flaw creates a huge hazard. the entire front end shakes uncontrollably and essentially becomes very hard to control. *tr

When filling up gas tank, the fuel spits out upon a full tank. this happens every time i fill up at any gas station. *tr

Every time i fill up my gas tank the fuel spills out and down the side of my jeep. i have witnessed this being a problem with numerous jeep owners and believe that this is a faulty inlet check valve that is not only costing me money from wasted fuel but also creating a environmental hazard from spilled gasoline. *tr

When putting fuel in the vehicle without using the hold open feature on the pump nozzle fuel sprayed out around the nozzle and ran down the side of the jeep. *tr

Opda(distributor) appears to have created excessive heat at the drive gear from the camshaft and caused a failure of a camshaft lifter or follower which wore down the camshaft and ran metal shavings or chips throughout the engine with the oil and caused engine failure. the oil level was full prior to draining it to see how much metal it contained. *tr

Spewed gas all over bare legs with hand on the nozzle, this happens every time i put gas in. it also air locks /stops pumping even at low speed have to pull the filler and reinsert to get it to fill... then close to the top but not all the way it pukes gas all over body have to stand off to the back of jeep with hand holding handle every time i try to fill up have never had the gas gauge show all the way full. i bought the jeep used less than 2 months ago and have read of similar problems with this year is there a recall??? *tr

Whilel filling fueling fill spills out of tank. *tr

Every time i fill the tank with gasoline, it spews out and runs out on the ground and down the vehicle side. this did not occur when the vehicle was new, it started when the vehicle was about two years old. it does, however, happen every time i fill the tank, now. it seems to me that this is not only a fire hazard, but a big environmental hazard. *tr

The gas overflows out of the fuel tank when filling. the stop doesn't come on at the right time. *kb

2006 jeep wrangler. not lifted. severe "death wobble" between approx. 40-50 mph. this issue is prevalent and dangerous enough to warrant recall. jeep should fix this design issue immediately before loss of life occurs. the nhtsa must force the issue immediately, as jeep has known about the design flaw since approximately 1997. why has this not been addressed/resolved? *tr

My 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited has just started having an issue where the gas spews out of the fill neck before the pump handle clicks off. this has happened the last 3 times i have filled up. this is at a station where i have filled up many times without incident. not only does this get gas on my vehicle and person, this spills gas all over the pump handle and ground at the station. this is a major inconvenience to myself, damaging to my vehicles paint, and most importantly dangerous. i have read of a large number of individuals with this issue on their jeep vehicles. i would expect jeep would be responsible for correcting this issue due to the dangerous, wasteful, and simply unacceptable condition. for me personally, i don't expect that with 46k miles on my jeep that this should happen, and be the responsibility of the owner to fix. i hope that there can be some action taken to hold jeep responsible, and remedy this (common) issue. thank you. *tr

Fuel spray from filling vehicle up. different gas stations all produce the same result. if i set the auto fill on the pump or if i hold the pump handle, fuel will spray out of the fill neck and onto the vehicle, ground or myself. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that when a road bump was driven over or when the brake was depressed, the vehicle would wobble abnormally. the vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure. the dealer replaced the front end stabilizer and shocks, but the failure was not corrected. the manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle back to the dealer, but they would not assist with the diagnostic testing costs. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 18,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.

When filling up at the gas station gas spews out of the tank when it nears full splashing everything within a foot of the car including at times myself. this happens each and every time i try to fill up. i always have to try to stop the pump before it's full. if i so choose to try to fill the tank i have to try to listen to determine when the gas might spew back out on me and let me tell you that's definitely not a fool proof method as i've been sprayed with gas numerous times trying this method. if i try to fill the tank and stand away from the tank so as to miss the spray then gas spews everywhere; on the ground, back on the gas pump itself, and down the side of my car; which by the way damages the paint. this is a huge danger not only to myself but to others as well. i can't believe that chrysler offered a recall on other years with the exact same problem but not on this model year. they've acknowledged that this is an issue in their jeeps so why not offer a recall on all years with this problem? i'm sorely disappointed that chrysler cares so little for their customers safety and even the safety of the general public since they could be affected by the spewing gas as well. we shouldn't have to pay for a manufacturer's defect. *tt

Every time i put gas in the car, fuel spills out of the gas tank filler hole all over the car. i have been filling gas tanks for 40 years and i know all the tricks. i do not top off and am careful to reduce flow when i think it is near the top. doesn't matter. it spills out anyway. at every gas station. *tr

2006 jeep wrangler that has had a problem with overflowing fuel while filling it up since acquired at 7,000 miles. this problem poses a significant safety problem as well as a negative environmental impact. the problem has been reported to chrysler, but they stated my jeep wasn't affected by the recall that they have issued on the exact same fuel tank components being used in other models. *tr

Traveling at 55 mph hit a slight bump on the road and the front end started wobble from side to side. the steering wheel shook side to side very quickly. the only way to get this to stop was to slow down to a speed of approximately 40 mph.

Fuel tank consistently overfills. problems causes gasoline to overfill the tank and flow down the side of the vehicle and collect in a pool. this problem initially started slowly but now occurs consistently at all gasoline stations. based on other jeep wrangler owners experience this appears to be a common problem that should be corrected by the manufacturer. *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. as a member of 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. *tr

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

I have purchased a used 2006 jeep wrangler from a local dealership around two years ago, and within the past year i have noticed gas gushes out of my fuel tank every time i get fuel. at first i thought it was the gas attendant, as it is illegal in nj to pump your own fuel, however this is now occurring everytime. i am worried my paint will become ruined or my car might catch on fire if it is too hot. i also do not have the means to pump my own gas and i don't need this problem to cause more issues down the road since the spilled gas has already discolored my stock fender flare. i know i am not the only one with this problem and it needs to be looked into because this is a safety issue, and once the gas spills over making everything on the inside reek of fumes. *tr

Summary:each time the fuel tank is filled, gasoline gushes out the fill spout on to the vehicle and the ground or pavement. this can not be avoided if completely filling the vehicle with fuel. fuel tank can only partially be filled. this problem poses an extreme fire danger to any person filling the fuel tank. sure hope that someone don't die in order for something to actually get done! *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited. the contact stated that while driving approximately 40 to 50 mph he noticed that there was a violent shake in the front end of the vehicle. the shaking became so excessive that it caused the vehicle to move into the next lane due to the driver not being able to control it. the vehicle was inspected by a dealer who advised him that the shaking may have been caused by the tires. the vehicle was taken to a tire dealer who replaced the tires and performed an alignment. within 10,000 miles of having the alignment done and the tires changed the vehicle began to shake. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 15,000. the vin was unavailable.

When fueling the the tank burps fuel out the vehicle fill tube after the fill nozzle has shut off. this occurs often. at first occurrence i assumed that the flow into the tank was too fast, and began slow filling to prevent it this initially has some success, as it did not happen every time. the problem has gotten worse, and now it happens every time even when filling slow.

The dw's, a defect jeep refuses to address. tell me where jeep has publicly addressed this wide and well known problem for their consumers. enough with the band-aids!! because i did not bring my jeep in for a 30,000 ml check up (eventhough i was only at 28,000) my dealer told me my warranty would be null and void. although, i had no idea what the engine had to do with the steering, i was unable to get him to discuss the problem any further. "rotate your tires for you, that's all i can do" was what i was told. so, after throwing money at my jeep to try and fix it this way or that way (btw my jeep is entirely stock) the only thing i've found to rid the problem is to replace my tires every 25,000 ml or so and rotate every 5,000 ml. so, if you don't mind buying new tires every two years or so, problem solved. if this a problem jeep is telling you that you can pretty much suck it!

I have a 2006 jeep wrangler. everytime i fuel my vehicle at the pump, fuel will spew out before the pump shuts off. i asked the dealer about this when i first purchased the vehicle and stated that they would not do anything about and blamed it on me basically. i started putting the fuel in slower and it works most of the time but sometimes i still will have fuel spew out before the pump clicks off, no matter how slow i try. searching online forums, i have found out i am not the only one to have this problem, on the contrary there are many others with this same exact problem, between 97-06 tj jeep wrangler models. *tr

Multiple instances of gas tank in my 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited overflowing, due to possible check valve malfunction and/or improper design from factory. *tr when filling ones gas tank, you would expect the pump to stop once the tank has reached its capacity. however due to a faulty in-tank check valve, the pump never gets the pressure change as a signal to stop the flow. hence, every time i fill up i end up spilling a not-insignificant amount of fuel on the ground. this issue is absolutely not operator error, it is a known defect by jeep/chrysler.

The gas spills out everytime i fill up. the pump does not click off until gas sprays out of the filler neck. it is not the gas pump because this is an ongoing problem and i fill up and may different places. *tr

My 2006 jeep wrangler has developed a consistent failure to stop pumps at gas stations from continuing to pump fuel even though the tank is full. as a result, gasoline is spat out from the filler neck of the gas tank like a burst from a fountain, splashing out on the ground, on the side of the vehicle, and generally on me, the operator of the gas pump. it started about a year ago, and it now exhibits this behavior consistently every time i fill up. this is a problem not only due to the cumulative environmental impact of spilling out raw gasoline and of ruining clothing and resulting in carrying with me the strong smell of gasoline all day at work and at home, but it is also a clear and appalling safety hazard with raw gasoline splashed around. the jeep dealership has recommended a very costly replacement of the entire gas tank assembly at my own expense and has said that this will only temporarily relieve the symptoms, that the design has not changed and thus the problem will continue to resurface. *tr

When i attempt to fill my gas tank, the gas comes back out of the tank. i have tried this by going slow & when the gas shuts off, i shake the jeep to get the air out of the tank - when i do this the air pocket pushes gas back out of the tank even when i don't have the fuel nozzle still in the tank. this isn't the first time that this has happened - i purchased the jeep in st. augustine, fl in jan., 2011 & i had to get gas right after purchasing it. the first time i had the auto shut-off on the gas filler - it clicked off & gas started flowing back out of the tank. at first i thought that the gas filler nozzle was defective, & notified the convenience store about the overflow - i asked for some "dry agent" to capture the gas that had spilled over. the attendant shut the pump station down, & said they would call someone to check out the filler nozzle. the next time that i needed gas (back in orlando, fl) the jeep was back near empty (fuel light "on"). i used the auto click-off on the filler - same[xxx], different day! i heard the "click" of the auto-shut off & within a second, gas was pouring back out of the fuel neck of the jeep. people who were pumping their own gas heard the fuel come out of the tank (and heard me curse, lol!) they couldn't believe what they saw. i'm not sure how much fuel poured back out of the fuel neck of the jeep (and the tank for that matter), but there was a pool of fuel on the ground. i notified the fuel attendant of the situation & they didn't have any dry-sorb chemical to absorb the fuel. i used paper towels to clean it up. now i have to resort to fill the jeep with no more than 12 gallons (no more shaking or the fuel may come back out). i've been told that the internal valve is defective or that the use of ethanol in the jeep has destroyed the internal valve. i don't give a [xxx] what has caused it - this is a dangerous situation that needs to be resolved. there are thousands of jeeps that have the same problem - do your job nhtsa.gov!!! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Over flow of gasoline every time i fill up at the gas station. it has been an issue since i bought my jeep brand new in 2006. the gas station attendant holds you responsible for all gasoline and expects it to be cleaned. i drive a 2006 jeep wrangler x. *tr

When refilling my jeep with gas it occasionally overflows. i didn't know if it was a pump or jeep issue until i started hearing more people having the issue and realized it was a jeep issue and not a pump issue. i understand that the 2007-2008s have a tsb and djc will fix for free, but my jeep is a 2006 and has this problem and i am not covered. i would like the tsb to include all jeeps.

Faulty fuel tank causes fuel spill every time tank is filled. i bought this jeep a year ago and every single time i've filled the tank it spits back fuel when the tank is filled. i would guess 4-5 ounces of fuel get spilled on the ground every time the tank is filled. dealership diagnosed the problem and says the tank is faulty and needs to be replaced. *tr

It seems a check valve that is part of the fuel tank failed. regardless of gas station, nozzle position or flow rate i always get gas splash back when i fill up the tank. it is my understanding that replacement gas tanks have the same defect that will cause them to fail in a short period of time.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited. the contact stated that after refueling the fuel tank, gasoline fuel would spill back out onto the ground. the vehicle was not inspected by a dealer nor was it repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 34,000.

My gas tank will overflow if i am not incredibly careful with the gas nozzle. this has happened repeated times and on one occasion poured gas on my shoes. (i now stand pretty far back whenever i am filling up) it has also poured down the side of the jeep, discoloring the fender and paint, as well as leaving an approximate 1-2 foot puddle of gas on the ground at the gas station. i'd guess about 1/4 to 1/3 gallon of gas will gush out each time it overflows. to fix this (according to chrysler) would cost between $800 and $1000. how is this in any possible way *not* a safety hazard???! *tr

Jeep suddenly lost all power at freeway speed. almost got creamed by semi. check engine light came on. pulled over on shoulder, restarted engine and limped home under 2500 rpm. any higher rpm resulted in complete power loss. ran obd got "intermittent cam sensor". tried to change sensor but assembly was full of metal shavings. did research found out that the oil pump drive assembly is faulty. part on back order, no one has it. common problem with 05 models due to faulty design. very dangerous and can destroy engine.

Gas spews out of the filler tube just before the tank reaches full and the pump shuts off. this problem did not appear until i owned the vehicle for over a year and now happens at every fill up. *tr

Fuel spills out each time i fill my tank. fuel pump kicks off as designed, but is followed by 2-3 cups of gas spilling out with force that covers the pump handle, side of vehicle, ground under vehicle, and anyone standing too close. *tr

When filling jeep wrangler, the automatic fuel shutoff feature of pump does not work, and gas sprays out briefly before shutting off, spilling on vehicle, operator, and ground. i have had tank replaced by dealer at 50,000 miles, cost of $350 to me. i understand that you have closed the investigation into this, and if so, you are truly incompetent idiots (i'm sorry, but come on). this is a defective product with safety and environmental negative impact! even though i have replaced my tank at some personal expense, i believe that it is with the same product, and i fully expect it to fail again in the future. wouldn't you expect a modern vehicle, even a "simple" one to be able to fill without getting gas on yourself, the vehicle, and the ground?!!! please consider re-opening the case; the idea that the internet created this problem is ridiculous.

2006 jeep wrangler and the death wobble. jeep has know about this condition for some time now and since my warranty is up and they could not find the problem before it was up, i am now stuck with it or pay alot of money for a issue that should have been addressed years ago by jeep. every time i hit a small bump in the road at 60mph the jeep goes out of control and shakes the vehicle until you can come to a complete stop in the road and then its fine. all you have to do is google jeep and death wobble and you will see how many complaints are out there. *tr

I would like to complain about a 2006 rhd jeep wrangler i purchased from [xxx]. on 4/01/10. lemon is not the word. before driving off the lot with veh. i noticed the fan switch for the ac/heater only operated on high speed. hours later the dealership finally replaced the switch from someones personal veh. because the switch is so hard to come by apparently. within 2 mos the switch for the fan went out again. had to wait another 3 mos. (on back order) the gear shifter cable broke next and had car towed and repaired. also, it was running extremely hot, i would have to shut veh. down to cool. then to top it off on aug. 13th 2010 the trans fell out on my way to work. i bought the veh on apr 1st (fools day) and boy was i fooled. i thought this would be a dependable, reliable veh. for my job, the postal svc even gives $1000 incentives for their carriers to buy jeeps. biggest mistake i've ever made. i could of lost my job trying to drive this jeep if my boss hadn't been understanding about all the breakdowns and downtimes i had. i would not recommend a jeep to my worst enemy. jeep to me stands for just empty each pocket. even jeep wont stand behind their veh. can't buy extended warranty for a rhd jeep they designed to deliver mail in. is that a joke or what? i have owned numerous veh. and not paid near the price i did for this jeep and this has to be the worst experience ever. be smart don't make the mistake i did. if you do buy a jeep better buy it brand new under warranty cause you will need it. big time. and get out from under it before the warranty goes out. the dealership nor the manufactures of the jeep were willing to help me at all. i was stuck with it and nothing i could do. i am just now (6 mos. later)rebuilding the trans. i had to have a break from it. i was tired of staying stressed out and upset. as soon as it is repaired i am trading it. get a warranty for sure. parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Fuel spills out of fill tube, after pump shuts off. *tr

Everytime i fill up the jeep with fuel, it shuts off the pump, then overflows fuel onto the side of the jeep and onto the ground. *tr

1. refilling fuel tank. 2. once tank is full and pump handle turns off; a surge of fuel is spit out of the fuel filler, onto the side of the vehicle and onto the ground. this happens every time i refill the tank. 3. no corrective action has been taken. *tr

Fuel spits out of tank when filling no matter how you fill tank . will spit fuel on ground on auto fill or manual fill any station. have had fuel on my shoes at times must stand back around corner of jeep. *tr

Fuel spills out at every time i fill up. *tr

Gasoline splash back from filler neck when filling tank. this occurs every time tank is filled.

I have a 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited, and almost every time i fill up the gas tank it overflows, often spraying a significant amount of fuel before the pump shuts off. this did not happen when it was new, but has been happening off and on, getting progressively worse, for the past 3 years. i believe this presents both a fire hazard and an environmental hazard, and i know that many other wrangler owners have observed the same problem. *tr

Every time i fill up my 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited gas comes spilling back out as the pump cuts off. this started happening this fall and has continued every since. fuel gets all over the side of the jeep, the ground and when not standing clear on my clothes and shoes. this needs to be investigated before someone gets hurt. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that the vehicle would idle improperly and stall intermittently. the check engine warning light would also illuminate. the vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who advised the contact that the oil pickup drive assembly would need to be replaced. both the dealer and manufacturer were notified and were aware of the issue; however, informed the contact that the parts to repair the failure were on back order. the vehicle was not repaired. the current mileage was 29,556 and the failure mileage was 25,000.

Fuel spills out during regular pumping at gas station. this happens during the end of the pumping when the tank is almost full. gasoline will shoot out of the filler spout and onto the ground. *tr

Nothing leading up to it. it happens every time i fill the gas tank. it overflows all over the ground. it has happened since i bought my jeep brand new in 2006. i have done nothing to fix it except never actually fill it all the way i usually stop about a gallon or two short. but sometimes don't let go of the pump in time and it still overflows. *tr

My jeep is experiencing premature failure of the oil pump drive assembly (opda), with only 31,000 miles on the jeep. the failure was noticed when a chirping was heard coming from the opda upon engine start up. i contacted chrysler who had me get the problem diagnosed at a local jeep dealer, which led to the replacement of the oil pump drive gear. the replacement of the drive gear did nothing to eliminate the chirping. there was some wear on the drive gear when it was replaced. a search on jeepforum.com indicates the problem with the opda is a bushing that isn't getting oil, due to a seal that is blocking oil flow. the part comes packed with grease, but when it wears out there is no longer lubrication. chrysler released a service bulletin (e05) reference this issue, but refuses to acknowledge that the opda is of faulty design and continues to supply faulty opda's when a replacement is in fact supplied. a recall should be in place, but is not. in fact customers are lucky to get any assistance in covering the cost of repairs if they are not the first owner or are not covered under the factory warranty. this problem places all jeep owners with 2005 build dates at risk of engine failure, due to a known faulty factory part, which could result at anytime, including at highway speeds. this could result in a traffic accident, fire or both, which in turn could result in injury or death of the occupants of said vehicles.

Fuel overflows after nozzle cuts off when filling gas tank.

Every time i fill up my gas tank, it will overflow and leak gas all over the ground and along the side of the car. *tr

During fueling, when the fuel pump nozzle automatically stops the flow of gasoline , fuel surges back through the filler tube and vigorously splashes out on the side of the vehicle and anything or person within 2 to 3 feet of the fuel filler. this occurs every time the fuel tank is filled and has drenched the person filling the vehicle from the waist down with gasoline on two occasions. has spilled fuel on every fillup (at least one cup), despite precautions (slowing filling rate). manufacturer and dealer have done nothing to correct this problem, this happens almost every time i fill up. *tr

When filling up my 2006 jeep wrangler rubicon gas will spray out on initial shut off of the gas pump. i've had this problem looked at, but was told it was normal for that to happen from time to time. then, i complained to jeep and they allowed the dealership to switch out tanks because my jeep was under warranty. this was only a temporary fix...gas still sprays out!!! *tr

When refueling our jeep the pump does not shut off in time spraying fuel all over the side of the vehicle and ground. to fix this the dealer wants to replace the fuel tank. this is a very common across the board chrysler problem that they are not owning up to. *tr

Jeep spills out large amount of gasoline every time it is filled up. *ln

The fuel filler neck/gas tank on my 2006 jeep wrangler has filling problems. any time i go to fill up on gas the pump does not click off in time and gas literally shoots out of the filler neck all over the bumper of the jeep and on the ground. i haven't tried to measure the volume of gas that shoots out each time, but i would estimate at least 6-8oz of fuel. *tr

At every fill up on my 2006 wrangler rubicon gas spits back out once it's full and about a 1/2 gallon of gas spills everywhere after the automatic stop function on the pumps clicks off. *tr

Gasoline overflows every time when filling tank on 2006 jeep wrangler. it is ridiculous that this dangerous issue has not been resolved. *tr

I tried starting my 2006 jeep wrangler one morning and when i put the key in the ignition it just rolled over. i remover the lock cylinder and took it to the parts department at my local jeep dealership. they told me nothing was wrong with it. upon further inspection they found that the piece connecting the key cylinder to the switch had snapped somehow. they informed me the only way to replace this cheap little piece was to buy a new $400 steering column ( not including labor )and that this is the third one in the last month with the same problem. if that doesn't wave red flags then they, jeep, certainly have no concern with the quality of their product. *tr

The vehicle is a 2006 jeep wrangler rubicon w/~44,000 miles. the check engine light illuminated during a trip and upon return a diagnostic tool read the error codes = p0016 and others. the code p0016 indicated a cam-crankshaft sensor which is part of the camshaft synchornizer (part #53010624ac). inquiry into purchasing this part, we were told the part is on national back order and has been for more than 9 months. further inquiry into numerous other dealers and parts company's support the national back order problem. and after deeper research online into this issue including the following thread at http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/chrysler-paying-install-new-cam-2005-2006-owners-should-read-963235/?referrerid=211189 it shows a much more serious problem exists than just a sensor causing a check engine light. there was a recall (eo5) for the 2005 model year but yet the problem still exists in the 2006 model as evidenced by the thread (there are other threads and research) as well as the national back order for the parts supporting this problem. the problem is the teeth on the associated gears for the synchronizer and the camshaft parts prematurely wear out causing play between these two gears thus activating the sensor which then causes the check engine light to be illuminated. this cel activity limits the maximum rpms at ~3,000 thus causing limited drivability. for example, if when exceeding this rpm limit due to changing gears to either accelerate or decelerate, the vehicle sputters and hesitates significantly thus reducing drivability potentially endangering the occupants during normal city and interstate driving conditions. further use of the vehicle causes further failure of these gears resulting in a shut down of the vehicle and complete inoperable. when the gears stop turning, this action stops turning the oil pump resulting in no oil flow. no oil flow could potentially cause the engine to seize should these gears fail while driving on our interstate system. *tr

Fuel spray everytime i fill the vehicle. fuel pump does not sense tank is full and sprays fuel everywhere. widely reported by fellow jeep wrangler owners across the country. chrysler denies problem while replacing some tanks with new tank that continues to use faulty design. currently there is no aftermarket help or support for this issue and certainly none from chrysler or jeep. *ln

Gas tank overfills at every fill-up. gas shoots out all over and has gotten on clothes on several occasions. this seems dangerous. *ln

I have a 2006 jeep wrangler that is shooting gasoline out of it after it is filled up with gas. basically, after the fueling is complete and the pump clicks off, gasoline shoots out of the filler neck and all over the side of the car, the ground, and the pump. it is only a matter of time until this defect causes a fire at a station or gets somebody killed. jeep is refusing to repair this problem. there are quite a few jeep owners who are reporting this same problem. *tr

06 jeep wrangler rubicon tank overflow/splash back when refueling. at every fill up regardless of pump handle style, angle or depth of pump nozzle or station location, a large amount of fuel splashes back at the point when it should cut off. it douses me and my vehicle and the ground with gasoline. problem began appx 2 years ago at roughly 40k miles and has been continuous to date. no action has been taken to resolve this problem because no specific solution has been found. *tr

When refueling the vehicle, gasoline is spit back out of the filler neck when the automatic shutoff releases and the tank is full. if the filler nozzle has splash guard, spilled fuel runs down the side of the vehicle on to the ground. otherwise fuel is shot out up to 5 feet and cover anything or anybody within the radius of the spill. no remedy found, it always happens. *tr

Gastank overflows when filling. *tr

When filling up my gas tank, fuel blows out of the (gas fill up opening) when...it almost reaches full (about 6 gallons to go). in the last year it done this about 15 times. *tr

2006 jeep wrangler x. when i go to fill up my gas tank, if i let it fill to complete i get a huge back spray of gasoline in my face, on my car, and all over the ground. i have tried to fill it up slow, adjust the neck of the filler, taken my jeep to a mechanic, all to no avail. it occurs everytime i go to fill up my gas tank if i let if fill completely up. apparently the problem is the gas tank itself. gasoline spraying from my filler is a huge safety issue that needs to be addressed by chrysler jeep corp. please consider that i am not the only one with this issue. *tr

Fuel spilling during refueling. fuel rushes out of tank when close to full. *tr

2006 jeep wrangler gas tank overflows every time when filling up the gas tank. sometimes to the point that the gas will spew in the air from the tank depending on the type of gas nozzle that is used. *ln

Fuel spills out on me and surrounding area when filling the gas tank. this event happens every time i fill the tank. i cannot use the automatic fuel shutoff on the fuel nozzles as gas is spilled (about .5 cup) on the surrounding area. this is a fire hazard. *tr

Every time i fill up with gas, the auto shutoff doesn't work and spills gas all over my jeep and the ground. it happens regardless of gas station, temperature, how far the nozzle is pushed into the filler, etc. it happens every single time i fill up. it has done this for no apparent reason, since the day i bought it with only 19k miles on it. i checked the vent line going from the tank to the filler neck, and its fine. eventually the gas has started to wear away the paint finish, and the finish on the flare. not to mention a hazardous material spill. *tr

Fuel sprays out during refueling my 06' jeep wrangler at the point where the nozzle is inserted. i have to stand back about 4 feet to prevent getting sprayed with fuel. *tr

When fueling my 2006 jeep wrangler the gas pump will not shut off and gas sprays from the tank. i have tried several stations and the problem continues. after doing some research i have found many issues similar to mine. the common conclusion is the roll-over antispill valve has gone bad and this part is not replaceable on its own. so it seems that the whole fuel tank needs replacing. it seems this part needs to be recalled as it has a high rate of failure. *tr

The gas tank overfills each time i fill it up. when set on the automatic gas fill function it over spills. *tr

Would go from 30 mph and up apply the brakes and get a violent shaking. took it to goodyear (had only 24000 btw) when we got new tires put on it and the guy said the rotors were 3/16 past turning. they wanted to charge us $875 for napa rotors. went to the dealership they said it wasn't their problem and nothing had been reported. so seeing we were defeated we asked for prices on rotors (since we were there) $310 for driver side and $325 for passenger. i was like uhm ok....went to four wheel parts got a drilled set made in usa with pads for $275 out the door.i mean i figured why pay over 600 and have them only last another 24000 miles? got 54000 on it now with the us brakes and haven't had a problem. btw it stops alot better than the stock ones did. oh an i said 1 injury because i did injure my wrist trying to hold it on the road everytime i drove it. *tr

Fuel spilling at every fill up, from reading on the internet it seems to be a very common problem with jeep wranglers. it happens at every fuel station and doesn't matter if the nozzle is half in or totally in. *tr

1. failure apparent since beginning of ownership. 2. fuel spills out of gas tank upon filling the gas tank in a normal fashion. failure occurs every time gas tank is filled completely. gas spills out of tank, over the outside of the vehicle, and on to the ground at the gas pump. 3. no attempts to correct failure at this point. *tr

I have a 2006 unlimited jeep wrangler and a couples years ago, while my car was still under warranty, the gas tank started overflowing, the pump did not stop and gas would get all over the car, my clothing, etc. the dealership then replaced the entire gas tank. recently this problem began again and i had to contact the manufacturer directly and then the dealership to get this fixed. i ended up paying approximately $222 to get a new gas tank again. when i went fill up the car after picking it up from being "supposedly" fixed i realized that it was not fixed and gas was all over my car. it seems as if this is a recurring problem and replacing the gas tank is a short term fix or no fix at all. needless to say, i have to bring my wrangler back to the dealership again. *tr

2006 jeep wrangler x i recently purchased this vehicle used with 58,000 miles. i discovered a very dangerous condition when filling up with gas. the gas flow to the tank does not properly turn off when the tank becomes full. the first time this happened to me i was sprayed with gasoline on my chest ... nearly missing my face. i thought this was a fluke but it happened again the next time i filled up. i've learned to only fill up the tank half way. i did an internet search and found that this is a very common problem with newer jeep wranglers. it is also an environmental issue as well because gasoline just travels down the jeep and into the ground. i have learned through jeep internet forums that this is a very common issue with jeep wranglers. this issue must be addressed by chrysler through a vehicle recall. there will definitely be deaths/injuries from this if it is not properly addressed by chrysler. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited. the contact stated that when filling the fuel tank, the fuel spilled back out. the vehicle was inspected by an authorized dealer who stated that the ball flap was stuck in the open position. the vehicle was repaired but the failure continued. the vehicle had not been repaired again. the failure mileage was 20,232.

When filling vehicle with gas, the fuel sprays back out of the gas filler neck once the tank becomes full. there is no way to predict when this will happen, other than simply not filling up the tank anywhere near full.

When filling gas tank on 2006 jeep wrangler the gas over flows and sprays out when full. on numerous occasions it has sprayed gas in my face. *tr

2006 jeep wrangler rubicon - problem started to occur at 49k miles(could have been earlier-i bought the car at this mileage, 2nd owner). gas would spit/flow out of the fill port before the pump clicks off for full. it always goes on your hands, clothes, floor and down the side of the jeep. at 52k(currently have 84k) it happens every time now. so now you have to put your ear close to the gas tank and listen for it to become almost full, and stop pumping quickly before it overfills and spits out.(this is the only way to get a full tank) on several occasions, if there is a lot of ambient noise, you will miss the "almost full" sounds and it'll spray gasoline on your face/clothes. i'm sick of dealing with this issue, im out of warranty, so dealer is no help. also when traveling to nj, the gas attendants are full serve only by law, and they complain to me every time i need to get gas in nj. it spits gas all over the attendant. this is a serious safety issue, i get gas on my skin almost every time i'm refueling the jeep. chrysler/jeep needs to do a recall. there are thousands+ of these complaints. *tr

I've been dealing with this problem for 4 years. while fueling, gasoline will overflow without cutting off. also, it is very difficult to pump a full tank with all of the back pressure caused the neck and gas tank problems. this is very dangerous and needs to be investigated on models later that 2007. *tr

Every time we fill our gas tank it sprays out all over when full. dealership says we must pay for a new fuel tank to repair this issue. this is a faulty flap inside tank. we will not pay for a new tank since they have the same flap design. this should be recalled. *tr

2006 jeep wrangler x, everytime i fill up at the pump gas will rush out of the filler neck. this wrangler has never been modified and only has 15000 miles on it. of course this is not only a safety issue for myself, but for others at the pumps next to me as well. jeep has not given me an answer to the problem, and does not have a recall. amazing. *tr

Fuel tank overflows when filling. just purchased vehicle used. vehicle has been filled 6 times at 5 different gas stations and has overflowed on every occasion. taken to dealer and they claim they are unable to reproduce. *tr

Fuel blows out from the gasoline fill tube, runs down the outside of the vehicle and spills onto the pavement every time vehicle is refueled. sometimes the fuel blows out with such force it splashes onto whoever is holding the nozzle. the pump nozzle will shut off as the tank is filled but fuel will simultaneously blow out of the fill tube. it does not matter which gas station is used, it happens at every gas station, and has happened in several states. this vehicle has not been modified in any way and has not been in a collision or damaged in any way. the dealer suggested replacing the tank at my expense, but would not guarantee that even complete replacement would correct the problem. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the contact stated that while adding gasoline to the fuel tank it would spew out of the tank, splash on the contact and then on the ground. the contact feared that a fire could start due to the failure. the contact had not taken the vehicle to a dealer for diagnostic testing. the contact stated that this was a known issue and numerous owners with the same year, make and model have complained about the failure. the failure mileage was 75,000.

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

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

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

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.

My camshaft position sensor on my 2006 jeep unlimited lj has caused my jeep check engine light to come on and to have misfire codes, transmission failure codes, and emission sensor codes, causing my jeep to run rough and may cause further damage to my motor if the problem is not fixed. the codes produced, does not point out my that my camshaft position sensor is the problem but masks the problem with other sensor codes.this has been going on for a while and the dealership couldn't even tell me what was wrong with my jeep and said they would have to just start with one thing and keep replacing parts till the problem goes away. i am still trying to get the problem fixed and i have an appointment scheduled with a reputable jeep mechanic at a specialty jeep shop to try and fix the problem this wednesday 8/4/2010. hopefully my engine has not been damaged due to this problem that chrysler is fully aware of! my mileage is in the 76,000 mile range and i do not know if my drivetrain warranty covers this. *tr

1. fueling the vehicle. 2. when fuelling my 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited, gasoline will abruptly backflow out of the filler neck and spray all over as the tank gets close to being full. it happens so quickly and violently that the auto shutoff on the gas hose does not stop it. this will happen any time i attempt to fill the tank to full. consequences: as a result, i have had gasoline sprayed all over me numerous times including getting it in my eyes. also, gasoline gets all over the side of the vehicle and leaves puddles of gas on the ground creating a fire hazard. i must stop fuelling before the tank is full to prevent this from happening. overall this is a life safety hazard and i feel it needs to be addressed. *tr

When filling the gas tank on my 2006 jeep wrangler x, the tank overflows a few cups of gasoline out of the filler opening after the pump handle shuts off. this results in gasoline pouring onto the pavement and down the side of my jeep - and also sometimes onto my feet! this is now a documented problem with many jeeps, and chrysler should be required to recall and fix this problem immediately! i would not be surprised if gas station owners start banning jeeps from filling up, since the jeeps are causing gasoline to be spilled onto gas station pavement on a regular basis! *tr

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

I own a 2006 jeep wrangler, i have been experiencing a violent shake or also known as the death wobble since 2009. lately, it has gotten far worse. i contacted the dealer at the first signs of the problem, they told me that it was the tires and that they would reimburse me. i called back several times after i got the tires, but the manager always had an excuse. so, no i did not get reimbursed. the tires fixed the problem for a short time, but now it's back and worse than ever. it starts the death wobble at around 55mph, it is so violent that it takes everything i have just to keep control. the only way that i can get it to stop is to either speed up to 60 or come to a complete stop. this is a serious problem and needs immediate attention from nhtsa before a death occurs due to this problem. *tr

Every time i fill the fuel tank on my 2006 jeep wrangler it splashes fuel out upon reaching full. this is not just a little fuel, but a lot. it surges out all down the vehicle and onto the ground. i've contacted my dealer several times about this issue and they say it's a known problem with my type of vehicle and there currently is no fix. they suggest not filling the tank completely full. this is hard to accomplish because there is no way to tell when the tank is getting full. this is a dangerous and environmentally unfriendly problem that needs to be addressed! *tr

While driving down the highway at 70 mph the 2006 jeep wrangler suddenly lost power and decelerated very quickly. the engine was still running. the rpms dropped to around 1500, pressing the gas pedal did nothing to increase the rpms. i had to pull over out of traffic. this happened several more times before i could get it to a jeep dealership in july 2009. jeep replaced all the electrical components to include the main computer at the time. they said that they found a sensor that was bad. the repairs lasted for about 10 month and then it did it again in may of 2010. jeep had the vehicle for 7 weeks trying before they got it repaired the first time. the last time it took 2 weeks to repair it. *tr

During refueling - the tank fills up fine except for the "final" moment. at the time a normal system registers "full" the refueling handle will click "off" and stop the fuel flow into the filler neck. in my instance, the refueling handle does click/shut off, but about a pint of fuel spits out onto the side of the vehicle and the ground. i have attempted many different methods, i.e. repositioning the refueling handle, filling fast or slow, different grades of fuel, different gas stations and even different stations in different states. the only thing that seemed to help was using a fuel additive every 2nd fill up, but the problem always resurfaces. through research, the general public seems to suspect a faulty "roll over valve" which can only be replaced by replacing the fuel tank. *tr

I own a 2006 jeep wrangler and besides excessive tire wear which the local dealership cannot seem to fix, my latest problem is with the ignition system . originally i thought it was the ignition switch but when i called the dealership to get a new one the parts salesman told me that my problem wasn't with the switch (and he was right) the problem is a piece of plastic between the switch and the tumbler and that the only way to get the plastic piece was to buy the complete steering column. in that phone call he also informed me that he knew this due to the fact they have had several problems with the wranglers 1997 on up and the factory hasn't done anything to correct the problem and the only way to get this little 50 cent piece was to buy a $500.00 steering column. i feel this should be a recalled item due to the fact they know it is a problem and i am afraid that while i'm driving the vehicle could shut down so i am not driving on the freeway so if it does shut down i wont have an uncontrollable vehicle at high speed. *tr

My 2006 jeep wrangler started blowing back gas out of the tank everytime i fill it up. i have tried to be ultra careful to stop it when it sounds like it's getting full, but even then within a couple of seconds it still overflows out onto the vehicle, the ground and me. it has been on going since my jeep hit around 35,000 miles. *tr

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

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). my '06 jeep wrangler overflows with gas every time i fill up now. it began doing this about a month or so ago, and now does it every time i fill up regardless of how slow i try to pump the gas. gas spits out of the filler tube all over the jeep and the ground. several days ago my wife, who was unaware of the problem, drove my jeep and as a kind gesture thought she would fill it up for me. as a result, she ended up getting gas splashed on to her clothes, the jeep, and the surrounding ground. this is not an isolated problem. i have come to learn that many jeep wrangler owners are experiencing the same problem. jeep has identified the problem as being a stuck check ball that is causing the problem. to remedy the situation, they recommend that you buy a new gast tank. however, no changes have been made to the new gas tanks, so it is only a matter of time before you would start to experience the same problems again. unfortunately, most of us are recently out of warranty and jeep is refusing any other help. besides the obvious personal hazards that are associated with this problem, you also face an environmental hazard every time you need to fuel up your vehicle. i sincerely hope that you can help me and tens of thousands of other jeep owners who are experiencing these problems before serious injury or deaths occur from this defect.

When filling up my vehicle at the gas pump, the gasoline would overflow. the gas would pump normally. when the tank filled up, the automatic shut off would click off and gas would stop flowing. about 2 seconds later gas would come spewing out of the neck. this would happen no matter what gas station or pump i used. i took the vehicle to a chrysler dealer and they replaced the entire gas tank. this solved the problem. *tr

Gas splashes out of the gas tank on every fill up. some times its a significant amount. this cannot be controlled by speed of fueling. i am afraid of a fire caused by fuel every where. *tr

I drive a 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited (lj). when i fill up this gas, it always overfills...everytime. *tr

My 2006 jeep wrangler tj overflows about every other to 2/3 of the time i fill the gas talk up all the way, no matter what station or pump i use. *tr

I have a 2006 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited that has a gas tank issue and based on the web blog most owners have the same problem. the problem has to do with the gas tank and filling the car up. the stop value is defected in the gas tank so when you fill up your car gas shots out of the gas tank once when it is full. i have tried numerous gas stations, difference positions and have taken it into chrysler-jeep and the response back that i have gotten is "yes we know there is a problem but there is no way to fix it. i would suggest just not filling the tank all the way up." this is a serious issue as the gas shooting out could get on something, ignite and if nothing else it is spilling gas on the cement of gas stations on a daily bases around the country leading to environmental contamination. can you please look into this and get in contact with jeep. thank you *tr

Gas overflows when i fill my jeep wrangler unlimited 06 all the way up. no auto shut off internally in tank. *tr

2006 jeep wrangler sport. gas overflows or gushes out every time at the pump when the tank gets full. happens every time and is a safety issue. nobody injured, but it costs me money at the pump. a bunch of other guys i know with wranglers have this same issue. i am convinced that there should be a recall on this to fix the defective tank. *tr

Fuel tank overflows while gas is being pumped. pump will not fill the tank. the pumps safety shut off is activated and pumping must be restarted. as fueling is ending a rush of air and gas sprays out of gas tank as pump shuts off. i have had gas sprayed onto me on multiple occasions. *tr

During gas fill ups, gasoline will shoot out of the fill nozzle when the tank reaches full. this causes gasoline to spill to the ground. the amount varies from a dribble to about a cup. slowing the fill rate towards the end of the fill will generally prevent the spillage but is not guaranteed. this is an every fill up occurrence. *tr

When i fill the gas tank on my 06 jeep wrangler unlimited it always overflows. the pump does not sense that the tank is full and the back wash flows out onto the side of the jeep and the ground at my feet. fortunately my jeep hasn't been hit by a cigarette after one of these incidences. *tr

On my 2006 jeep wrangler the fuel filler overflows long before the gas pump shuts off when the ambient temp. is below 40 degrees f. *tr

Since september 2009,every time i fill up my 2006 jeep wrangler,at least 10 to 12oz spill out before the auto shutoff on the nozzle is engaged. i believe that this could be very dangerous. *tr

Fuel spills out everytime i am filling up for gas. *tr

When i fill up my 2006 jeep unlimited gas spills out the filler when it shuts off this happens most of the time not always. *tr

While filling up my 06 jeep wrangler, once the gas comes up the neck, it sprays all over, sometimes spraying up to 4' away. i have been sprayed with gasoline, and drips all over every gas station i fill up at. this happens every time i fill up, and even if you go slow, or full bore, it will overflow and spill out. *tr

When pumping gas in my 2006 wrangler the pump doesn't cut off and it overflows everytime i fill up. the first couple of times i got gas on my clothes, shoes, the ground, and the jeep. now i stand back and try to listen and manually cut the pump off, but fairly often it still shoots gas back out(about half a gallon if i didn't pay attention like the first time). after doing research, the only solution i can find is replacing the gas tank with another doomed to fail tank. *tr

Fuel over flows out of filler neck after fuel nozzle shuts off. the jeep, ground and myself end up covered in fuel everytime i fuel up. *tr

I ran out of gas, i pulled into a gas station, i filled my tank. as my tank became full, i expected the pump to automatically stop, as they are designed to do. instead, i watched fuel spew out of my filler neck, and had to stop the pump myself. i went inside the gas station to tell the attendant that their pump must be faulty. they explained to me that they have never received that complaint before, so i left. the next time i needed fuel, i went to a different gas station, and experienced the same problem. i then went three fill-ups with no issue. on the fourth re-fueling episode, it happened again, at a totally different station. therefore, i believe the problem is in the jeep's filler neck, not the fuel pumps i was using. the consequences of this problem are obvious, it is a fire hazard, it spews gasoline all over the vehicle's paint, and all over your legs and shoes, depending on where you are standing. also, it is an environmental issue. *tr

Like many other 2006 jeep wrangler owners, my gas tank overflows every time i fill up my tank. the mechanic at the jeep dealership (supposedly an expert in the field) doesn't seem to know how to fix it, and i still have not found a solution to the problem. *tr

My 2006 jeep wrangler x overflows when filling with gas, the gas pump's auto-shutoff does not work. it happens consistently every time. this is a huge fire hazard! *tr

Fuel spills out at every fill up. *tr

My 2006 jeep wrangler spills gas when it is getting filled up. this happens when the tank is reaching full. *tr

Jeep wrangler spews gas and vapor when filling the tank using the automatic shut-off feature of the gas pump. i was sprayed with gasoline in my eyes after a fill up. this is very dangerous situation that can result in bodily injury or fire not to mention the environmental issues this spillage creates. this should be a safety recall and chrysler forced to come up with a fix. *tr

Purchased a 06 jeep unlimited (lj) with the 4.0 engine. when filling up the gas tank, the tank becomes full and gas then spills out the fill tube. this is everytime you fill up the jeep. chrysler says they are aware of the problem but that there is no fix or real concern by them for this problem. my concern is the waste of gas, the environment hazard by spilling gas, the possible damage to my vehicles paint and the potential fire hazard. this has been ongoing since i purchased this jeep in 05-09. i understand that numerous other jeep lj's have this same problem and that it has something to do with a weak vent spring. *tr

I have a 2006 wrangler unlimited rubicon. i have had fuel spilling out at the end of filling up my tank. went to the dealer and they replaced the tank. that was almost 2 years ago. the issue has since re-appeared. now that my jeep is out of warranty i feel it is ridiculous to get another tank at my expense since it did not fix it the first time. i have noticed that many jeeps have the same problem. *tr

I own a 2006 jeep wrangler sport and every time i fill up my jeep i get gas overflow. regardless of the type of gas, gas station or pump. this problem happens every time i fill up. gas squirts out and is a hazard. from reading over on jeepfroum.com it seems to be a wide spread problem. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/gas-spilling-over-when-filling-872096/. *tr

1. empty gas tank. then went to fill said empty tank. 2. jeep overflows every time i fill the tank. splashes fuel down the side of the jeep and onto the ground. 3. i have held the nozzle at different angles and different depths in the fuel tank filler neck but all lead to the same results with no varying in fuel overflow amounts. mentioned to jeep dealership, no problem must be my fault, discussed with fellow jeep owners and searched online all to no avail. *tw

Gas tank overfills during fillup...automatic gas shut off fails and gas spills on the ground (about 1 cup or so each instance). this occurs every time, harming the environment and presenting a fire danger. other jeep wrangler owners on jeepforum.com have the same issue. the fault apparently is the roll over check valve, an integral part of the gas tank. so the fix is to replace the tank. but the faulty part is also replaced in this process. *tr

Gas spilling over when filling. *tr

While driving down a dirt road, the connector that attaches the plastic fuel line coming out of the fuel tank to the metal line that runs to the engine compartment snapped in two, causing the vehicle to stop running fuel to be pumped onto the ground under the jeep where it stopped. damage was limited to the component involved, which will have to be replaced. *tr

When filling the gas tank, the gas continually overflows. it makes no difference if the tank is fueling fast or slow. this is dangerous and if you don't remember to stand back your shoes and clothing are saturated. *tr

Gas spills, splatters, shoots violently when tank is full. it occurs every time i fill up at any gas station. occurs whether i hand control fillup or whether i rely on auto shut off. hand fillup does seem to reduce the amount of excess gasoline spewing from tank. gas ends up on my paint, plastic, the fueling station ground, and often my clothing and/or shoes. very frustrating, concern for fuel sparks. *tr

When filling up with gas, once it tank gets full and the pump automatically shuts off, fuel spits out of the tank. it goes all over your hands, clothes and the fender. *tr

At the completion of adding gas the fuel spot over flows, the gas flow does not stop at the pump automatically. gas is spilled over the pump handle and ground. *tr

Fuel tank nozzle spits fuel out of fuel tank. all over the ground, on vehicle, & on me. it occurs on every fillup at any fuel station. i attempted to insert nozzle head in fully or insert half way. neither attempt yields positive results. *tr

2006 jeep wrangler unlimited 4.0 l when fueling this vehicle, fuel spills out of the filler neck every time. this occurs even when the fuel nozzle is not depressed to full volume. fuel can slosh several feet from the filler neck. this is a potential safety hazard for several reasons. i have had fuel spilled onto my skin and nearly into my eyes. there is also significant fire hazard due to the pressurized nature and velocity of the fuel coming up the neck. please investigate, this is a common problem on this make and model. i purchased this jeep in april 2009 and it has occurred every fill. *tr

While filling up my 2006 jeep wrangler (tj), gas has come shooting out of the inlet for the gas pump nozzle. i am *not* attempting to 'top off' my fuel tank, this occurs in the normal process of filling my tank up. today's incident (12/23/2009) is the third incident in less than two months. previously, i had thought that perhaps it was me exceeding the fill limit of the tank ('topping off') because i was using the 'auto fill' switch on the gas nozzles handle. however, after the second incident in two months i decided to do some research online and have found that this seems to be a complaint with later model jeep vehicles. to this date and to the best of my knowledge, however, chrysler has not issued any recall or warning concerning this safety issue. i am filing this complaint because of the safety hazard involved with the splash back of fuel which can hit the person filling up the tank; and because the splash back covers the rear corner panel of the jeep after it happens, leading to a fire hazard to the vehicle. i have not yet contacted chrysler, but i will be doing that today as well. *tr

2006 jeep wrangler spews fuel out the fuel filler neck before the pump cuts off when filling tank. this results in fuel on the side of the vehicle, on the ground, and possibly on the individual filling the tank. it occurs frequently when filling tank, but not 100% of the time. nothing has been done to correct the problem. *tr

The fuel shut off valve does not engage causing gas to shoot out all over when filling up the tank. *tr

During every fill up of gas, the nozzle does not shut down in time and fuel shoots out of the fill tube all over anyone filling the tank and onto the ground. there are hundreds of people complaining of the same thing, all with jeep wranglers. *tr

Fuel spills out of the tank when i refuel my 2006 jeep wrangler. it started about one month ago,and happens every time. i place the gas nozzle on automatic and the pump will shut off automatically when the tank is full, but gas will come shooting out of the filler neck and spill all over the vehicle and ground. i haven't done anything yet to correct the problem because i don't know what the problem is. *tr

I have a 2006 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited. 2 years ago i had my gas tank replaced due to fuel spilling during every fill up. i am now having the same problem. i am trying to find out if there is an issue with the jeep fuel tank or filling systems on vehicles sold in canada/us. *tr

I have a 2006 jeep wrangler unlimited, every time i refuel the jeep it overflows. the pump will automatically shutoff as it is supposed to do, but then within a second or so fuel will splash out of the tank. i called jeep corporate and they don't think it is a big deal. i think it is a huge safety concern. here is a video link of the issue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zouvokeolo8 please look into this issue before someone gets hurt. thank you *tr

2006 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon. every time i fill it up with gas, a significant amount of gas shoots out before the pump shuts off. this happens at every pump i've tried. going slow at the end doesn't solve the problem. enough fuel comes out that i usually have to mop it up off the ground. this is a dangerous fire hazard. *tr

I have a 2006 jeep wrangler x. when i fill up at the gas station the tank will overflow with no warning and spill gas all over the place. i don't know what causes it but i have tried filling slow, all kinds of positions with the nozzle and nothing works. i think that something is defective in the tank. i fill all my other vehicles at the same gas station with no problems but the jeep can not be filled up there or any other gas station. *tr

Everytime i fill my 2006 jeep wrangler with fuel it will click the auto shutoff on the pump and then puke fuel all over the side of the car and the ground. approx. a quart if not careful. *tr

Gas overflows with every tank fill up. *tr

When filling the fuel tank on my 06 rubicon unlimited wrangler. before the pump automatically stops pumping the gas will spill out from the filler tube. the amount of fuel spillage can be up to about a quart. this happens every time i try to fill the gas tank. according to the dealer the only fix is to replace the entire fuel tank. this repair would no be covered under warranty. i believe having fuel rush out of the filling nozzle while pumping gas is a very dangerous problem. *tr

When filling the gas tank, the gas continually overflows. it makes no difference if the tank is fueling fast or slow. this is dangerous and if you don't remember to stand back your shoes and clothing are saturated. *tr

When filling up my fuel tank normally and not topping it off, fuel sprays out of the filler neck before the pump can shut off. this happens every time i fill the tank spilling gas on myself and on the ground. there is no way to avoid it unless i do not fill the tank up. i took the jeep to the dealership and they say i need a new fuel tank. my jeep is out of warranty but there are many other people with this same problem indicating that it's a faulty rollover valve yet chrysler denies that it's a defective part. *tr

Gas spilling out when filling up at service station. *tr

When filling up the gas tank, the tank will overflow. it happens regularly, approximately 1 in every 5 fills. it occurs at different filling stations using different pumps. many jeep owners have reported this problem. it is a safety concern and the defective component should be recalled. *tr

Most of the time when filling the fuel tank on my 2006 jeep wrangler the fuel overflows from the tank and onto the ground prior to the pump shutting off. there seems to be a significant risk of fire. this happens at various fuel stations and various types of pumps. it appears that jeep is claiming this is a "normal" wear item when in fact it isn't. it is a problem with significant risk involved. *tr

2006 jeep wrangler tj. when filling the gas tank the gas will spew out before it shuts off. *tr

When i fill up, the jeep regurgitate some gas at the end of the cycle. *tr

When filling gas tank the auto shutoff doesn't work and the gas tank overflows. this happens on all pumps at many different gas stations. it has to be a problem with the vehicle, not the pumps. *tr

The plastic switch controlling the defroster broke, which made it impossible to defog the windows. i was on the highway and had to use a rag to keep the window clear while driving so i could exit. *tr

Jeep wrangler fan speed selector switch is a known issue from the "tj" years. they typically burn out the first 2 speeds and the last 2 will work for a while, and also fail leaving no method to defrost or clear your window. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. while driving 55 mph he noticed that the front end of the vehicle began shaking and vibrating. the vehicle was taken to a local repair shop and inspected where it was determined that the steering damper failed. the vehicle was repaired for $50.00. the following day the failure recurred while driving 55 mph. a local mechanic stated that the vehicle needed a front end alignment and later stated that the tires needed to be rotated and balanced for $20.00. the manufacturer has not been notified. the failure continued to occur. the failure mileage was 12,000 and the current mileage was 24,000.

Death wobble on a 2006 jeep. i was going 55 and had it happen took it to a shop they said my tires needed to be balanced. a week later it happened at 58 mph and i lost control of the jeep going off the rad took it in to the shop they said it was my brakes. after the brakes it still happened at 58 mph i have new brakes , shocks, brake pads, balanced, steering rod total of over 2000.00 and 5 days of my time. *tr

1. normal road driving, 3000 miles after purchasing a certified pre-owned jeep wrangler (19700 miles total on vehicle), lead to the vehicle becoming dangerously out of control at around 50mph. the steering vibrations were so severe, that the jeep could hardly be steered. 2. this happened approximately 5 times in a 7 day span, with the last incident being the most severe. 3. i personally researched this issue and found it to be called the 'death wobble', and appears to be due to a flawed design on jeep and other chrysler vehicles. i took it to the dealer for repair, and was billed in excess of $1,000. a new steering stabilizer and front bushing kit was installed. this appears to have resolved the issue. *tr

There were two separate incidents where i was driving down the road at between 30 to 40 mph and encountered total loss of control of vehicle"s steering due to constant back and forth oscillations of the steering wheel. this was due to a defective or broken steering damper on the front suspension. *tr

First i started to have a loud rattling sound when i am idling, neutral with the clutch out. i was told it was normal wear noise, but i could replace the throw out bearing to make it quieter. after it was replaced i started hearing a loud whistling sound when my jeep is coasting and above 2000 rpms with the clutch out. the dealership keeps telling me it's normal. i have taken it back 2 times, but they can't find the problem. i'm still having the noise and there is no sign of a fix from the dealership. they just keep saying it's normal. just like everything else they have had to fix!!! *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. while driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and made a rattling noise. in addition, the clutch became disengaged when the pedal was depressed. the dealer stated that the vin was included in nhtsa campaign id number 06v147000 (power train:clutch assembly). the failure mileage was 14,000 and current mileage was 15,000.

I own a 2006 jeep wrangler se which i bought in may 22, 2009 with 14000 miles. on june 7th the vehicle front end began to shake and wobble the entire car and steering wheel uncontrollably after reaching 45-50 mph or on a rough road or just a slight bump in the road makes the vehicle have this problem. this happened to me 5 separate times today all while either the vehicle was in gear or in neutral and wouldn't stop until i slowed the vehicle down to 30 or came to a stop. *tr

Death wobble on jeep wrangler as reported on wsoctv this has occured in my vehicle on many occasions. the jeep is all factory. no lifts, etc. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. while driving 35 mph, the front driver's side wheel shook violently. the contact had to pull the vehicle over to the side of the road to stop the vibration. she spoke to two other jeep owners and they referred to this issue as a "death shake". the contact stated that this is a safety issue because it feels as if the front wheels are coming off. the current and failure mileages were 23,000. updated 07/10/09. *lj the consumer stated the bushings were replaced at a cost of $300.00 and then an alignment had to be performed. updated 07/10/09.*jb

Entering the interstate and driving up to approximately 60-65mph, the steering wheel shook violently to the point where i needed to slow down drastically to stop the vibration. i took the vehicle in for service on the13th of march at ewald jeep in franklin when they told me to replace the front tires because they were 2/32. i told them the tires have only 15,000 miles on them then they told me to see the place (pomps in racine) that sold me the tires. pomps said i needed an alignment. then, on the 8th of april driving at 40mph on a bumpy road, the steering wheel shook violently again with what felt like the front wheels were loose. to stop this vibration, i needed to slow to 10 to 20 mph. i called for service once again to ewald on the10th of april. they replaced the steering damper ($126.28 and $98 for labor). they also performed a 2 wheel front end alignment. then on saturday the 18th of april, it happened again. as soon as i got home, i called ewald and told them the shakes are back. went in on monday the 20th and had a service tech drive it. he said nothing out of the ordinary occurred while he drove it. minor shakes in the steering wheel but ¿that¿s the nature of the beast¿, he said. they proceeded to look into it more and 20 minutes later, they told me they were replacing the steering damper they replaced only 10 days earlier. i owned a 1997 jeep wrangler and never experienced this then. after talking with other jeep owners, i believe it to be a bad design and hope chryslerjeep can correct this problem. *tr

While driving at highway speeds, bump or light application of brakes during slight turn causes steering wheel to shudder violently. steering will not stop shaking until speed is reduced, which on the last occasion, resulted in near miss on freeway during rush hour traffic. vehicle was previously used on city streets only and issue was observed on a couple of occasions, but frequency and severity increases dramatically at freeway speeds. although vehicle only has 17,699 miles, it is 2 months out of 36mo warranty. dealership and chrysler customer service refused to assist without customer pay diagnostic or customer pay repair. the condition is intermittent and the last time it occurred with my wife driving, she had to veer off the road across several lanes of freeway traffic, almost causing an accident. she suffered a slight sprain of her wrist. *tr

In reference to all late model jeep wranglers. what is known as the "death wobble". at a speed of 35 to 55 mph, a vibration in the front end will occur that magnifies in intensity until the driver must stop the vehicle to regain control. very dangerous. jeep says that it thinks a steering damper change could stop this from occurring,but has never issued a recall or design change. problem spans several years of the wrangler model. i have heard of mid 90's all the way to my 06' having the "death wobble". in my opinion jeep has neglected to fix a very serious problem that im sure has caused more than a few accidents. i have had to stop completely getting on the interstate to regain control . that cant be safe. i would think that a fix shouldn't be that hard for the engineers at daimler/chrysler to come up with . after all the jeep is an amazing vehicle. therefore i am requesting that the nhtsa commence an investigation into the death wobble" and jeeps responsibility in this . it is my belief that they should be held responsible for any worn or damaged front end parts due to the wobble and the fix for the problem. thanks for your time and hard work . i am looking forward to speaking with a nhtsa rep at their convenience. if you need to observe the death wobble or need more info please feel free to contact me anytime via email or phone. or you can just google it . you would be amazed at the number of people out there that have this problem and jeep acts as if it doesn't exist. all i can say is wow. thanks again for doing your jobs and making these companies be responsible. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. while driving approximately 30 mph on normal conditions, the vehicle stalled as it approached a curve. a warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel and remained lit until the engine was turned off. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing and the brakes were replaced. the failure recurred, which resulted in a crash. there were no injuries; however, three vehicles were damaged. the police was called to the scene and a report was filed. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and is currently inoperable. no repairs have been performed. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 2,596 and current mileage was 3,273.

My 2006 jeep wrangler has been a problem since i bought it. the vehicle has been back to the dealership for part replacement repair over 7 times, and it has only 24,000 k. won't detail each mechanical issue, but i have been very disappointed in this vehicle, and got rid of it last week. *tr

Bought a 2006 wrangler w/ 3500 miles. shortly thereafter, realized that vehicle had a problem - when braking at speeds of 55 to 60 mph (gently, mind you, no hard braking), vehicle and steering wheel would shudder and wobble violently, and this would increase in severity until vehicle slowed to 40 mph, then shuddering/wobbling would stop. took to purchase dealer first (ford) to have wheel balanced. this did not fix it, so, took to warranty (jeep) shop, who first tried to blame dealer (ford) shop, said lug nuts were screwed on too tight, thus causing rotors to warp. had ford dealer turn rotors, but problem returned shortly. took to warranty (jeep) shop, insisted they fix. they replaced rotors, but problem returned almost immediately. returned vehicle to them, they "machined" new rotors. shortly thereafter, the problem returned. took to jeep again, this time, they said it was the ball joints, replaced upper and lower right ball joints. problem remained, but was sporadic rather than constant.. took it back to jeep, they said they couldn't find a problem, "come back when problem more pronounced". within a few weeks, problem was constant and very pronounced; scary, even. took back to jeep again this week, they say it is the rotors again, and they will replace them one more time under warranty, but never again. vehicle has been in shop(s) for work on this problem no less than 5 or 6 times. dealer implies that this is all my fault, even though i drive substantially fewer miles than most people, and my driving habits are quite dull, to say the least: no towing, no driving on the beach, over rocks, etc., no hard braking, no excessive speed, etc., etc. (they tell me that no one else has this problem, even though the internet is full of these kinds of complaints.) in the last 16 years, i have driven 4 jeeps, 3 fords, 1 mazda, and 2 vw's, and this 2006 wrangler is the only one that has ever had a rotor problem of any kind, much less a constantly recurring one. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the vehicle has goodyear wrangler gsa tires, size 225/70/r15 (na). while driving approximately 45 mph on normal road conditions, the front end of the vehicle was shaking uncontrollably. the malfunction caused steering difficulty. the failure occurred without warning. the vehicle proceeded to a complete stop and began to operate normally. the contact inspected the front passenger side tire and noticed blistering on the sidewall. the vehicle was taken to the authorized dealer and they stated that the failure was related to blistering of a defective tire. the front passenger side tire was replaced for free. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for the same failure for the front driver's side tire; however, they refused to assume responsibility for the repair. the defective tire has not been replaced. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 3,000 and current mileage was 16,118.

Our wrangler rubicon was purchased new from a dodge/chrysler/jeep dealership in bullhead city during model year, 2006. since that time, the jeep has been taken into the dealership to fix the windshield rubber seal that continues to separate from the windshield and the window frame. first it shrank in the lower left corner. this caused wind noise and excessive drafts. they pushed it back into place. several months later, the entire gasket separated and fell onto the dash! good vista glass came to our home checked the seal and told us it was defective and the whole rubber gasket would have to be replaced. it was. now this week, while the jeep just sat in our driveway, we discovered the entire rubber seal again hanging from the window frame above the dashboard. this makes driving the jeep to get it repaired dangerous. as i type this, good vista glass again is placing a new gasket into place. i am not completely sure about the integrity of the windshield when this continues to happen but at the very least, there is a danger of this gasket falling into my view and/or lap while driving. my vehicle history is important too. i, like a lot of 4 x 4 owners, do not even take the jeep off road. i "baby" the vehicle and keep in immaculate condition. also, all of the folks i have dealt with at swanty's jeep and good vista glass have been polite and helpful. now, i was told by the good vista glass technician yesterday, 10/01/06 that this windshield gasket separation is a continuing problem with jeeps. maybe a recall should be in order? all documentation has been retained. thank you, john l jenkins fort mohave, az *tr

2006 jeep wrangler - extreme front end shutter at highway speeds, usually in the area of 55mph. the shutter is so bad the vehicle has to be stopped immediately to avoid loss of control. this has occurred 3 times in the last week alone. the dealer claims it is a known issue but the part is out of stock. they (jeep) calls it a shimmer, i* say it is a shutter and a life safety issue. *tr

I purchased a 2006 jeep wrangler sport on sept 25, 2008. within one week of driving this vehicle i experienced severe wobble (aka "death wobble") while traveling around 55mph twice. it happened when i ran over rough areas in the road that had been patched up pot holes. the vehicle began to shake violently from side to side. i had to almost come to a complete stop before it would stop do this. i felt i had no control of the vehicle while this was happening. after the first time i searched the internet and found that this is not an isolated problem and that many, many other owners have experienced the same thing. it is referred to as the "jeep death wobble". i contacted the local chrysler dealership because the jeep is still under warranty. when i explained the situation to them they acted as if they never heard of such a thing. they replaced the damper on the steering but i know from my research that this is just a short time \"fix\" and that although chrysler has received many letters from consumers such as myself, they refuse to acknowledge the fact that their design if dangerous therefore, there has been no recall to permanently fix the problem. i then contacted x-treme jeeps in tampa florida and the owner informed me that the only way to remedy the problem is to eliminate the damper all together and install the rugged ridge steering kit which actually brings the mechanism back to the older way the jeeps were made back when amc built them. this is an expensive job, costing approx. $330. i can not afford this plus the monthly car payment but then again, i can\'t afford to wreck my vehicle do to poor design. i live 17 miles from my job and can\'t afford to go without my transportation. this is a very unsafe vehicle chrysler does not acknowledge responsible. when i went to pick up my jeep from the dealership after they replaced the damper i had to come up with $83.63 for the rotation/balance of the tires. no physical damage but my nerves are shot over this. *tr

Defective steering damper replaced 7/24/2008, 8/5/2008 and 10/1/2008. sever front end wobble after hitting a rough patch of road or a bump with a 2006 jeep wrangler. *tr

I bought a 2006 jeep cherokee in october 2006 and sine the day we bought it we have had problems with the front end steering. we took it to the dealer where we bought it and they told us there was nothing wrong with the steering. the next time we took it in for the same problem, a few day later, they told us it needed balancing. the third time we took it in they told us it needed an alignment. we have now done balancing and alignments approximately every 2-3 months. we have replaced the stabilizer arm three times since we bought the jeep and need to replace it again. the steering gets so bad it almost pulls the wheel out of your hand at 45 miles per hour. the dealership still says there is nothing wrong with it. *tr

¿06 jeep wrangler looses power, bucks, shakes as of 20,000mi. gas gage sometimes does not read correctly, ac goes warm at neutral, smelled burning, could not shift past 1st . has had to be towed to dealer. stalls and shakes intermittingly during moving and stopped positions. has a rough idle, which at times is more severe than others, but has never died - just shook severely a few times. it intermittingly acts as if it is going to loose all power. this can occur several times in one day, 1 time during the day or not at all for 1 or several days in a row. there is no set pattern. it occurs during cold and hot weather, with electrical devices on or off, in neutral or drive, if the engine has warmed up or is still cold. have taken it to dealer several times. dealer tells me something is wrong but they are unsure of what. they have tried several times to replace or fix parts with no success. chrysler¿s star mechanics are now working on it. this vehicle is not safe. dies at all speeds, times and road conditions. *tr

I purchased a pre owned jeep wrangler in 1/08 and had no problems until june of this year i experience a violent shaking on my way home from work one day and thought i had blown a tire or hit gravel on the road i checked my tires and there was nothing on the road i was baffled it happened again 2 weeks later and i took it to the nearest jeep dealership i was told it needed a new steering damper but they were on short supply (i know why now) i then called the dealership i purchased it from and was told to bring it in for a replacement part to make a long story shorter they have replaced my steering damper 3 times and i have experienced this violent shaking 5 times they have released my car back to me assuring me it was fixed. they now want to put a heavy duty damper on my jeep stating this will fix it i have contacted a lemon law attorney and she researched this problem for me she found several reports from consumers and told me that the jeep technical service bulletin specifically states how to fix this problem on the 2006 models it describes it as a "shimmy" and they are to replace the steering damper on the 2007 they describe it as a "rumble" and give a completely different fix for this other than the steering damper i called my dealership today and told them they need to find out what replacement is for the 2007 because it is obviously not the damper i am at my wits end with the vehicle i am terrified to drive it for one of these times i may roll it and cause serious injury to myself chrysler will not give me a loaner until this problem is fixed i hope this helps in your investigation for there is something dangerously wrong with this vehicle thanks marti mulholland *tr

My jeep wrangler would not start at times and did it 4 times all together. i bought it to family jeep in chadds ford pa and they told me they couldn't duplicate the problem and told me they would not even look at it because chrysler limits what they can do. i also had a problem with the steering dampener breaking and they told me i would be told when the part would arrive. that was 9 day's ago and today i was told that chrysler didn't have the part in stock and one guy has been waiting since june 5th for the same part so i shouldn't even complain yet. i have just purchased their extended warranty for over$ 2,400.00 and i feel like a fool. this same part is also available on the quadratec.com website and in their catalogs for anywhere from $40.00 to $123.00 but they won't even get it or install it because it is not a mopar part. my jeep shakes violently at highway speeds of 45 or more and also shakes very bad when braking. this is totally unacceptable and i believe extremely dangerous. *tr

Brake rotors keep having to be replaced every 3-4 months. *tr

I purchased my jeep in april of 2006. the vehicle started shaking every time i would put my foot on the brake or travel between 55 & 60 mph. i took it back to the dealer with 19,000 miles on it, 03/14/07, and was told that the rotors were warped - they smoothed them down, charged me $229.00 and told me that it was the way that i drove. that repair was not covered by the warranty! *tr

I was traveling down the highway passing another vehicle on the first lane. as i was going down, i felt my vehicle pulling to the side very slightly, and at first i put the feeling off as me overreacting over something or it was just the road being a little rough. i was going at highway speed around 75mph, and eventually my rear passenger side tire ruptured effectively destroying all of the sidewall of the tire. i managed to stay in control and pulled to the side of the road. after the incident and upon closer inspection of the failed tire at home, i found that the rubber part where the valve stem meets the wheel of the tire was mostly cracked almost to the point of detachment. i feel certain that this was the cause of the tire failure, where i lost air pressure causing the sidewall of the tire to give away at highway speed. i have also taken pictures of the tire and the valve stem damage if needed. *tr

Bought a 06 jeep wrangler that intermittently shuts off power while at speeds greater then 50 mph. it is a manual, so the jerk almost puts you in the windshield. buzz leonard dealership has failed to correct this malfunction 5 times. there is a great danger driving this car, but they don't seem to care. *tr

Cracked valve stem caused tire to rapidly deflate on expressway. aftermarket tires and wheels were purchased in may of 2007 from discount tire. *tr

Front brakes on my 2006 jeep wrangler with 8785 miles on it vibrate violently when making a sudden stop at speeds around 50-60 miles. during a sudden stop the steering wheel was almost ripped from my hands. took the wrangler to the dealer. dealer stated that chrysler does not warrant wear items. dealer machined front brake rotors. test drove and brakes worked ok. my concern is for my safety. with machined rotors now the rotors are thinner (weaker) then before. *tr

2006 jeep wrangler: at about 11,500 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 occur below 40 mph or above 50 mph. now, at 12,000 miles, i have a violent shudder at 45 mph, that it feels like i'm about to lose control of the vehicle. this morning it was so bad that i had to brake in order to avoid hitting the car in the lane next to me. to me this seems like an incredibly dangerous situation. i have called my jeep service manager and i am currently waiting for a call back to get my vehicle in for service. please note. this vehicle is 100 % stock from the dealer and has had no modifications, nor has it been in any accidents. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep wrangler. the vehicle is a right hand ride jeep. at 9,000 miles, the contact had to replace the heating switches and wiring harness. she took the vehicle to the dealer and they dismantled the dashboard. they noticed several malfunctions and replaced a number of wiring harnesses in order to repair the heating switches. recently, the vehicle had to be returned to the dealer due to alternator failure. the alternator sent so much heat to the battery that is caused the water to boil. sulfuric acid spilled all over the firewall of the vehicle. the contact was informed that the alternator was sending currents of up to 19 volts to the battery. the failure mileage was 56,000. updated 05/21/08 *bf the consumer stated he replaced the heater switch 3 times, the alternator and starter were replaced as well. the defroster was inoperative. updated 05/20/08

The vehicle began shaking when brakes were applied, more violently the faster the vehicle was going. i had this checked at a brake shop first, where they said the pads were fine, but the rotor was warped. i then took it to the tire shop to have the tires rotated and balanced, although this was also just done a few months prior. i was instructed to take it to the dealer since the vehicle has only 23000 miles on it. not only did my dealer not warranty the problem, they wanted to put a "make it new kit" on for $355, perform differential service $121, drain and refill rear differential fluid $121, and rotate and balance tires (because they listened to nothing i told them) for $49.95 for a grand total of $671.90. when i told him i would take it elsewhere, i was charged for the estimate $24.95. i was also told by my service advisor that he or his manager saw no reports on this web site. hmmmm....mine is the 6th such case on here. i just wonder how many there are that have not been reported? this is my fourth wrangler and i've never been treated so rudely in my life. it's a shame the chrysler jeep wrangler cannot stand up to the true american jeep, because they've gone to using cheap faulty parts!!! updated 04/23/08. *lj

The right side hood latch has failed 4 times in the since i have owned the jeep which was purchased new in june 2006. this is a catastrophic failure while driving at highway speeds allows the hood to lift and placing all of the load on the existing left hood latch. this causes the hood to bend but much more importantly if the left latch fails would allow the hood to lift an obscure the windshield. this is an obvious safety hazard. latch has been replace by jeep dealer under manufacturers warranty. *tr

2006 jeep wrangler replaced brakes. consumer states that the brake backing plates were replaced due to damage. he states that the vehicle became stuck in a snowdrift and after being shoveled out the brake indicator light started flashing. *kb the dealer stated the master cylinder was blown and the brake pads were ruined due to driving with the brakes being frozen. the consumer was told the damages would not be covered under warranty due to weather conditions. *jb

My rotors in my '06 wrangler went bad at 9500 miles, shaking violently when stopping. they were replaced, but now at 20k the same thing is occurring! i was told chrysler will turn them for free but will not replace them again. they never replaced the original pads either. i am very upset to see such a trend of complaints with the rotors and the company still continues to use cheap, defective parts. the mechanic the first time told me this is common and chrysler does not care once you bought the vehicle. things replaced so far, and these were under 10kmiles; steering stabilizer/rotors/slave cylinder in clutch($700 job)/not delivered with tinted rear windows/hesitation and stalling at a red lights/strap broke off rivet in soft top. clutch still making the noise that was diagnosed as slave cylinder (its the throttle bearing da!!!) *tr

There are no crash test ratings for the rear occupants in jeep wranglers. passengers are extremely vulnerable in the back seat since there is no protection except the roll bar but if they are rear-ended, the other car could simply hit the back seat directly. there is no neck protection as the seat is too short. when children ride back there, they are basically unprotected. this situation needs to be advertised so people don't assume it is safe to have passengers, especially children in the back of jeep wranglers. the back seat is only designed for cargo, not people! that's why they don't have data on rear occupant crash test ratings, because they would fail. *tr

In december 2007 i was sitting in my 2006 jeep wrangler x in my driveway with my defroster on when about 5 minutes later i heard a popping noise like when you put ice in a glass and it starts to get hot. i look around and noticed a crack in my windshield coming from under the bottom seal. i called my dealership which they told me it was probably a chip that expanded. i brought it down and fought with the service manager that this should have not happened even if there was a chip in the window because every car that has a chip and turns their defroster on should do the same thing. the dealership told me i had to pay for the window and that it might happen again. the insurance i have covered my window and now again i looked the other day and i have another crack on the new window. not very happy with this car. *tr

I was driving my 2006 jeep wrangler rubicon manual 6 speed transmission with less than 15,000 miles on it when without warning it stopped accelerating. i was in 4th gear at the time. i tried to switch gears and was unable to put it into any gear and was stuck coasting in neutral. i stopped the car and was again unable to put the car into any gear while the engine was on. i turned off the engine, put the car into second gear and restarted it and was able to drive to safety in 2nd gear to a gas station a mile down the street before the car gave a puff of black smoke from the tailpipe and would no longer drive. the car was towed to the dealership and i was told that this is a wear item - and that my clutch was burned up. this was not a warn out/burned out clutch but i could not prove it. 1200.00 worth of repairs for something that i am positive was not my fault. *tr

Defroster/heater fan doesn't work. each time i take it in to service dealer, am told it's fixed, but it stops working. heater control and harness has been replaced 2 times and still doesn't work. it is winter in wi, need the fan for heat and defrosting.*cn

When we hit a bump in the road the steering wheel starts to shake violently till we slow down to stop the shaking. *tr

I own a 2006 jeep wrangler x with 9,060 miles. i have goodyear gs-a tires. i am replacing my second tire on the jeep in less than two years. this tire has a "sidewall failure" and must be replaced. i also have owned a 2001 jeep wrangler. i put 24,000 miles on that car but had to replace 3 goodyear tires similar to the gs-a's. the latest incident involving my jeep and goodyear tires transpired two days ago. i noticed the tire was losing air before i got behind the wheel. considering i was about to drive on a highway, it may have been recipe for disaster. i put air back into the tire and was able to drive to a sears automotive center. the mechanics informed me that the tire had a "sidewall failure" and was unfixabl
