Transmission void
I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler 4.0 automatic with just over 20,000 miles. Sitting at work and cranked fine, only to find out it won't go into gear. Never been in the mud or in deep water. Sits in a garage and is driven for pleasure only. Any suggestions of what to check first ?

Re: 2007 Jeep Wrangler DEATH WOBBLE.....good news FINALLY =) [vikings0101]
Thanks Vikings0101!!!!...I have a 2006 jeep wrangler that I bought 6 months ago. I purchased the vehicle from a Chrysler Jeep dealer. The fully stock vehicle had 25,577 miles on it. The " DW " symptoms started happening about two months ago. Very frustrating. Can't drive it on the highway. More frustrating is researching the problem. No one really knows what the real problem is. I called the dealer where I ... Read More

Shifting into 4WD and 4W L
I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler X Manual Transmission and have gotten different answers to my questions in other forums. Do I have to press the clutch pedal when shifting to 4W HI or LO and does it have to be in neutral? I know I can shift into 4 WD while driving under 55 mi an Hour but do I have to have it in neutral when I shift? That ... Read More

Jeep Wheel Wobble Question
Hey. I have the opportunity to buy a very low mileage (less than 20k) 2006 Wrangler X. It is in excellent condition with no modifications. The owner has never experienced the death wobble, however, after reading all of the articles, I'm a bit concerned. Has Chrysler/Jeep accepted responsibility for the problem? Do they know what the problem is? Are they willing to fix it? Is it worth buying a 2006 jeep? ... Read More

Re: Spitting Gas on a 2008 Jeep [debpjlvr]
Seems to be a common problem on Wranglers. I have a 2006 and it started doing it in 2010. Just have to listen carefully and stop just before it's full. Maybe our Jeeps are just spitting out that overpriced gas as a protest?

Re: Jeep wheel wobble [wobbleripoff]
Before you sell your Wrangler, consider this. The problem may not be the suspension at all. Tires on newer vehicles, Jeeps are no exception, have been bubble balanced at the factory so if you drive a new one the wheels will be balanced-sort of. But bubble balancing won't do as the tires begin to wear after 2K to 3K. The tires need to be balanced on a friction surface (what Goodyear ... Read More

Re: Wrangler Automatic Transmission Problem & Ac problem [jolibee]
This is on a 2006 Unlimited. So far so good after the computer change. The temp sensor was sending mixed signals to the computer (the little trollop). I'm still a bit baffled with the bad shifting/temperature correlation. I think my next jeep will be a CJ5, something I can troubleshoot.

2006 Jeep Wrangler
I bought my new and I think it is an instant classic because it is the last year of the old style Jeeps...especially the Engine. As most know the new Jeeps have the Van engine. I plan on keeping mine a long time. I only have 23,000 mi. on it. Glad I bought mine before the change.

Re: Short time Wobble 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [skyking49]
You may want to check that the front wheel bearings are not loose. I had a chev 4x4 that would shimmy really bad when you are going just at the right speed and hit a bump or dip in the road. My 09 Jeep so far has no problem with this as of yet.

Re: Need to two 5,000#, 2 axel boat trailer [we2]
Are there any modifications that can be done to an older jeep wrangler (2003 to 2006) models that would increase towing to 5,000#? A 4.0 automatic Wrangler is quite capable of towing 5Klbs and I've done it myself many times. However, when I've done so it's been on relatively flat dry roads with efficient trailer brakes. The limitations on the Wrangler are both legal (3Klbs is the recommended max), and physical ... Read More

Are there any modifications that can be done to an older jeep wrangler (2003 to 2006) models that would increase towing to 5,000#? Engine work? Transmission coolers? Shocks? Frame? Transmission exchange? Other? If able to do this any idea of the total cost involved to modify? What specific models should I look to purchase to make this work best?

2006 Wrangler Automatic Transmission Problem?
Bought a brand new 2006 Wrangler Unlimited (my 3rd new Jeep Wrangler) and have had a problem with the transmission when the weather begins to get cold. Symptoms are, when temp goes to around 50 degrees (and car is still cold from start-up) there is a problem when I stop and begin to accelerate. The downshift to first gear is not immediate (2-3 second lag) at which time you can feel ... Read More

Wrangler Won't Run
My 2006 Jeep Wrangler started missing and backfiring as I drove down the Interstate. Pulled off the road and it won't run without spitting and sputtering. Towed it home. Put the OBDII analyser on it. Got (2) codes: P0016- ?, and P0300-Multiple Cylinder Misfires. What should I look for?

Re: Short time Wobble 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [sadworld]
This should be something that they fix at NO cost, especially since my 3 year warranty is not up. I think I will contact someone in consumers affairs in my state of Ct. I would like to know how many others have this type of problem and why most vehicles do NOT have this problem. There has to be some kind of defect.

Re: Short time Wobble 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [skyking49]
I have a 2006 Unlimited, and had the rotors go bad at 7,000mi. The dealer fixed them no charge (like I was going to pay), and now at 12,000mi they're going bad again. Unfortunately I'd be happy with your 16,000mi. :-(.

Re: Short time Wobble 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [skyking49]
My car is at the dealers right now. They tell me my problem is severely warped rotors and metal to metal brakes. As I said in other posts the dealership replaced the rotors a couple of weeks after I bought it because they had a "bad batch." How could they go so quickly? I hope they don't try to charge me for this. My jeep only has 16,000 mi. on it. ... Read More

Re: Short time Wobble 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [mac24]

Naturally she let off the gas right away and after 2 or 3 seconds the Jeep returned to "normal." ... Read More

Re: Short time Wobble 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [tidester]
tidester, I can't really say. The tires are 30" compared to the 28-1/2's that were on it new. I noticed the tendency to bounce right after I got them. I figured with bigger tires, I could get by with a little bigger foot print. It would soften the ride a little, not get me in trouble with wear, and would tend to reduce bounce. So, I really don't know how much ... Read More

Re: Short time Wobble 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [skyking49]
sky, I don't know how much air pressure you are running in your tires, but I solved a similar problem by reducing the air pressure from 35 psi to around 28 psi. I have slightly larger than stock tires. Since you drive only on good roads, the less pressure probably will not hurt handling and might help reduce the bounce. Let them down to 28 psi (use a good gauge) and ... Read More

Re: Short time Wobble 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [erickpl]
Yep...I had mine back to the dealer after owning it for just 2 weeks. They had to replace the rotors. This problem seems similar to that one except the rotor problem was noticeable when I braked. Yesterday it really vibrated and wobbled after hitting a small bump. I guess it could be a rotor problem again but I don't think so. My jeep only has 16,000 mi. on it. I know ... Read More

Re: Short time Wobble 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [skyking49]
It MAY be a warranty issue. Take it in and have them look at it. Even new vehicles can have issues. I had a 2 month old BMW and the computer controlling the dash died at night and I lost all exterior lighting for about 10 minutes (driving thru the desert at night!). It happens. But I suspect something is/was loose. If you take it in, tell em it pulls right ... Read More

Re: Short time Wobble 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [skyking49]
Your JEEP wants to leave the road. Your JEEP needs to leave the road. Your JEEP was built to go to the dirt. The shaking is much like a delirium tremor that an old alky will experience when deprived of his much needed booze. When your JEEP hits an bump it's off road soul is awakened and the deep seated need for dirt and mud and dust makes it veer towards ... Read More

Re: Short time Wobble 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [skyking49]
I's start by checking the steering damper. A bad damper will allow your front tires to go into a wobble oscillation when prompted by a bump.
-
Re: Short time Wobble 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [erickpl]
Would this be a warranty issue? It seems that Jeeps have a lot of problems that regular vehicles do not have. I am not mechanically inclined and have a bad hand so I cannot do any of the work myself. Thanks for your reply.
-
Re: Short time Wobble 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [skyking49]
It kind of sounds like something in the steering geometry came loose. Perhaps check the tie rod ends, track bar ends (especially the axle end). As for the clicking noise, it could possibly be one of the u-joints that goes from the axle shaft to the hub that turns at either front wheel. Mine clicks too, but I have a front auto-locker that I installed a few years ago. -Paul
-
Re: Short time Wobble 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [skyking49]
For obvious reasons I can only be very non-specific, but you would appear to have a front suspension component that can change position or orientation under a momentary load before returning to it's original configuration. It could be an upper or lower knuckle joint, maybe a softening control arm bushing, or possibly one of the many steering joints. As for the clicking, it's probably either the brakes or a dry 'U' ...

Re: Water On FLoor 2006 Jeep Wrangler X [skyking49]
A couple of possibilities. 1. The condensate drain line from your air conditioner could be disconnected and dumping the water in the passenger floor. 2.

Buying salvage jeep, looking for cheap parts.....
I have the opportunity to buy a 2006 JEEP Wrangler X with only 3,500 miles. The catch -- it has a salvage title. It would need two full hard doors, hood, fender flares and a possible roll bar.

Re: 2006 Wrangler X Clutch Push Rod [skyking49]
SkyKing49, Sometimes I think that Jeep/Chrysler only recalls the vehicles that they are required to and not all the vehicle that they should. I think they work on the same cost/benefit, risk v. profit, pay-out on a lawsuit v. cost of recall theory as Ford Motor Company. Remember the Exploding Pintos, Crown Vicky Fire-bombs, and the Roll-Over-Explorers. Back to Jeep there was a recall on the heaters on the Jeep Wranglers. ... Read More

Accelerator Surge
I recently traded in my 2000 Jeep Wrangler (160,000 miles) for a new 2006 Jeep Wrangler. My new Jeep is a Sport model with an automatic transmission. Over the past 3 months I have experienced what seem to be "power surges" when decelerating. It occurs while I am driving and apply the brake to either slow down or stop. The engine revs and I feel the Jeep lunge forward as if ... Read More

06' vs 07'
2006 Wrangler SE base model for 16k even with employee pricing. THIS IS A NO BRAINER. Go with the 06'. Sure, the 07's will be a better Jeep, but who is to say the ADDED cost will be worth it?

Re: Connecting XM and iPod to 2006 Wrangler [jplyman]
Yes, PIE makes an adaptor for the Jeep head unit (model # CHRY 02) This adaptor makes your head unit think that the Ipod or XM Roady 2 is a CD changer. I have one and it works great. I use it with both.

Jeep Wrangler Safety
Hey all, I am looking at a 2006 model and was wondering if I am being foolish, looking at a wrangler with a toddler at home. My ex is worried that the vehicle is too tippy and doesn't have the safety equipment for the kids and is also unsure a child seat can even be installed. I owned a 1999 before this worry but don't recall how childseat ready it is ... Read More

Re: Not Toyota's market focus [lccressida]
Ok nice to hear about someone who actually has first hand knowledge of a 2006 Toy being sold with solid axles. I don’t know why it was so hard to find any info referencing it on the net though. That all being said, a full size LC with solid axles and diesel powered would be nice to own too. As far as Jeeps being sold around the world goes though, I ... Read More

Re: Not Toyota's market focus [fourx4ever]

Re: Not Toyota's market focus [steenh]
Steenh, thanks for the specs they look good, but this is what my search found on the LC models: OK the 78 series LC’s production run went from 1985 to 2002, so it’s done. And yes, it looks to have had leaf springs in the back and coils up front – (strange they didn’t go to coils all around like the Grand Cherokee but anyway..) The 80 series had solid axles ...

Re: 2006 Wrangler X Clutch Push Rod [zizax]

Re: 2006 Wrangler X Clutch Push Rod [uboat27]
I am the lucky owner of said vehicle and one of the NHTSA complaintants. Jeep tells me they do not know when a replacement part will come available. My Jeep is sitting dead in their lot. Terrible decision on my part. But who would have believed they'd put a PLASTIC piece in such a critical control?! On the other hand, it appears that the part was possibly exposed to excessive stress ... Read More

Re: Jeep Leak [jtbird]
From what I've seen and heard, the leaking is a very common problem in 2005's and 2006's. My 2004 Sport never leaked a drop. Unfortunately, it was totalled in an accident. So I got a 2005 Sport. It leaked horribly from the time I got it, as did other Wranglers I checked on several different new car lots. (Wanted to see if my Sport leaking was an isolated problem. Found out ... Read More

2006 Wrangler X Clutch Push Rod
Has anyone had trouble with their clutch push rod breaking? Mine snap with only 2052 miles on the jeep. The entire push rod is made of plastic and the service center swears this has never happen before. It has been at the dealer for almost for a week waiting on a back order clutch master cylinder. What is the earlier TJ clutch push rod made of, plastic or metal?

FJ Cruiser vs. Wrangler Rubicon
The original FJ Cruiser (FJ-40) was designed to be a competent off-road vehicle for off-roaders of the 70’s and 80’s. Though there was never a factory V-8 option like Jeep offered in the CJ-5 and CJ-7, the FJ of the day was still considered the Jeep’s Japanese counterpart and well respected. Now Toyota has revived the FJ, and promoted it through print and video adds as an incredible 4x4 for the ... Read More

Re: Current Lease Options for '06 Wrangler [teasip]
Hey teasip. Unfortunately, DaimlerChrysler never provides much in the way of lease support on the Wrangler. It sells well enough on its own that it doesn't have to. you never mentioned how long you need to lease this truck for or how many miles per year you need to be able to drive it, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a typical 36 month lease with ...
