2006 Jeep Wrangler

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

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.

'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

BRAND NEW, 2006 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4, LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON IT WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD (FIRST INCIDENT,50 MPH), ENGINE STALLS. TRY TO RESTART...PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WAIT ABOUT 5 MINUTES, AND THE JEEP FINALLY RESTARTS. SECOND INCIDENT, DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, MIDDLE LANE, APPROXIMATELY 70 MILES PER HOUR, JEEP ENGINE STALLS AGAIN. LOSS OF ALL POWER, STEERING COMPONENTS, NO DASHBOARD LIGHTS OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS FLASH. JUST COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. ALMOST GET REAR-ENDED BY SEVERAL CARS BEFORE MANAGING TO GET THE JEEP OFF ON THE SHOULDER. SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 45 MINUTES BEFORE THE JEEP WOULD RESTART. FIRST DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO REFUSED TO LOOK AT IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE AN APPOINTMENT, AND SAID THEY COULD GET TO IT IN A WEEK OR SO. I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T HAVE AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS GOING TO DIE, AND SECONDLY I WASN'T DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT WAS UNSAFE AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. I WAS THEN REFERRED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED HE WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE DEFECT...SO NOTHING HAS BEEN FIXED AND I'M STILL DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO HIS RESIDENCE WHERE IT FAILED TO RESTART. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER REGARDING THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 18,600 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,588.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON (11,000 MILES) ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN IT TOTALLY LOST POWER. IT LITERALLY SHUT DOWN. I WAS ABLE COAST TO THE CENTER MEDIUM. (THIS HAD HAPPENED JUST 4 DAYS BEFORE ALSO) I WAS ALMOST IN A CRASH AS I TRIED TO COAST TO A SAFE PLACE. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR UP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I BOUGHT THE JEEP TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP NEAR BY. THEY PUT THE CAR ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE, AND ON THE RACK TO CHECK IT, AND TOLD ME EVERYTHING CAME OUT FINE, AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT IS A VERY VERY DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE. IT IS LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD AND UNDER WARRANTY. *JB

WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING AND WINDOWS ARE OPENED, A TOXIC NOXIOUS ODOR IS EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. PROBLEM STARTED WHEN VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP NEW FROM DEALER. OCCUPANTS OF VEHICLE ARE ABLE TO TASTE A CHEMICAL LIKE SUBSTANCE ON LIPS AND TONGUE. ALSO HEADACHE & DIZZINESS OCCURS WITH CASES OF VOMITING. DEALER REPLACED RADIATOR, COMPRESSOR, VENTS AND ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *JB
