2006 Jeep Wrangler

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE PARKED, THE GEAR LEVER FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE PARK POSITION. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING AWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V46000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,277.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V222000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS NOT MADE AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO PROVIDE THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

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

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 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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE REFUELING, THE FUEL PUMP FAILED TO SHUT OFF AND CAUSED FUEL TO SPEW OUT WITH FORCE AND SPILL ONTO THE GROUND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS A RECURRING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. UPDATED 10/19/15 *BF

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"

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
