2006 Jeep Wrangler fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 17: complaints 41 to 70 of 479, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
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.
Tank overflows when filling up with fuel. Pump auto shut off does not work on this vehicle at any station. Always get fuel overflow.
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.
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.
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.
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.
When filling the tank, rather than shutting off the gas, it burps and overflows. This happens every time I fill it.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
When fueling the fuel overflows every time. This can not be safe.
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.
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.
When I fill up with fuel after pump shuts off fuel gushes out on side of jeep and onto ground.
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.
Severe fuel spit back when filling up my jeep wrangler. Gas spilled all over the vehicle and ground!
Overflow of gas when filling 100% of time.
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).
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.
Fuel pump will not shut off when the tank is full resulting in gasoline spilled on the vehicle and all over the ground.
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!
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!
Fuel spillage at the pump. Belches gas out after the pump clicks off.
