2006 Jeep Wrangler

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

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

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

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
