Power train, clutch assembly, pedal/hand lever(motorcycle)Apr 15, 2015
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2006 Dodge Viper and Jeep Wrangler and Liberty vehicles manufactured July 1, 2005, to July 31, 2006. In the affected vehicles, the springs within the clutch pedal position switch that prevents the vehicle from starting unless the clutch pedal is pushed down may break. As a result, the vehicle may not be started when the clutch pedal is pushed down or the engine may crank and start without the clutch pedal being pushed down causing the vehicle to unexpectedly lurch.
If the vehicle unexpectedly moves there is an increased risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the clutch ignition interlock switch, free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R13.

Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 7, 2015
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.

Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 21, 2015
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.

THE HEATER FAN SPEED SWITCH STARTS FAILING BY ONLY WORKING ON HIGH SPEED. THEN IT QUITS COMPLETELY. I HAVE HAD THE WHOLE UNIT REPLACED BEFORE ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. IT JUST DID EXACTLY THE SAME THING AGAIN AND I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED AGAIN. THIS TIME THE REPLACEMENT UNIT DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO CHANGE THE LOCATION OF WHERE THE HEAT COMES OUT. IT IS STUCK ON THE DEFROSTER.
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 18, 2015
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.

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!

Steering, Suspension, Sep 23, 2015
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.

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.
Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 1, 2015
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

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
