2007 Jeep Wrangler 2-Dr 4X4 Driver assistance Problems

MULTIPLE TIMES YESTERDAY, STARTING WITH (WHICH I THOUGHT NOTHING OF INITIALLY) THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURNING ON WHILE THE JEEP WAS IN PARK NOT MOVING. SHORTLY THERE AFTER WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY ABOUT 45-55 MPH A KNOCK OR CLUNK WAS FELT BENEATH THE FLOOR, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE EAS, TRACTION CONTROL, ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, THE AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHED, THE WIPERS RUNNING EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE OFF, A HARD PULL TO THE RIGHT AND HIGH RUNNING/INCREASING RPM'S ON A LEVEL ROAD WITH MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. I HIT THE HAZARDS, PULLED OFF THE ROAD, LOOKED AT, IN AND UNDER THE JEEP, NOTHING LOOKED AMISS. MY HUSBAND TOOK OVER THE DRIVE, MADE IT ROUGHLY 8-10 MILES WITH OUT ISSUE AND THAN AGAIN EVERYTHING ABOVE BUT IN ADDITION THIS TIME THE HORN BLARED FOR PROBABLY 2 MINUTES, IF NOT MORE, HE PULLED OVER SHUT IT OFF TURNED IT ON WE WENT HOME, WAITED ABOUT 2 HOURS, DROVE ABOUT 15 BLOCKS CITY ROADS WITH HILLS AND TURNS LESS THAN 25MPH ROUND TRIP AND NOTHING HAPPENED. MIGHT BE WORTH MENTIONING, FOR THE LAST MONTH OR SO IN HIGH HEAT 80 DEGREES AND UP, IT HASN'T BEEN STARTING THE FIRST FEW TURNS, BUT THE BATTERY IS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD.

MY JEEP WRANGLER (2DR, 4X4) WAS IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK. WHEN I STARTED IT AND MOVED THE GEAR SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED VIOLENTLY. WITHIN 2 SECONDS, I WAS SLAMMING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. BY THEN I WAS JAMMING ON THE BRAKES AGAIN, BUT MY CAR STILL FELT LIKE IT WAS INCREASING IN SPEED--THROTTLE WIDE OPEN! WHEN I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, MY JEEP PUSHED IT ABOUT 15 FEET UP OVER A CURB TIL IT FINALLY HIT ANOTHER CAR AND STOPPED. ITS BACK TIRES WERE ABOUT 10 INCHES DEEP INTO THE DIRT AND JAMMED UP AGAINST ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY JEEP WAS STILL GOING, AND CLIMBED UP ACROSS HIS HOOD AND OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE, COMING TO REST UPRIGHT. MY JEEP LEFT TIRE MARKS ON THE PAVEMENT AS I TRIED TO STOP IT. THE CAR I HIT, A 2009 VOLKSWAGEN, WAS DESTROYED--TOTALED. OVER $20,000 DAMAGE ON THAT CAR ALONE. THERE WAS OVER $7000 DAMAGE TO MY JEEP. THE 3RD VEHICLE HAD DAMAGE AS WELL. THE ENTIRE INCIDENT TOOK LESS THAN 5 SECONDS---THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY PEOPLE WHO HEARD THE SOUNDS OF THE ENGINE SCREAMING AND THE CRASH ITSELF. MY TOES AND THE BALL OF MY FOOT HURT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS FROM JAMMING ON THE BRAKE, BUT MY JEEP DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO STOP BEFORE IT WAS HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR I HIT SLOWED ME DOWN, AND PROBABLY SAVED ME. I HAVE SOME MINOR WHIPLASH AND HAD A TERRIBLE HEADACHE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, BUT OTHERWISE NO ONE WAS INJURED--COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IF THAT CAR WASN'T IN FRONT OF ME TO STOP ME, BECAUSE I WAS GOING SO FAST. COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE IN PARKING LOT. CHRYSLER HAS SENT AN INVESTIGATOR OVER LAST WEEK (AN OVER-NIGHT TRIP) TO LOOK AT THE JEEP, AND HE SAID THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF "COKING" (A STICKY CARBON/TAR-LIKE RESIDUE) IN IT, AND THAT IT COULD HAVE STUCK AND CAUSED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. I JUST GOT ANOTHER CALL FROM THE SAME CHRYSLER INVESTIGATOR AND HE WANTS TO SEE THE JEEP AGAIN. *TR

WHILE TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X (WITH 55000 MILES) "CHIMED" AND THE AIR-BAG , TRACTION CONTROL, AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP. UPON INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT THIS LEAVES THE SAFETY SYSTEMS INACTIVE! A BAD "CLOCK SPRING" IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS HE CAUSE OF ALL THE SYSTEM FAILURES. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD STILL BE COVERED BY JEEP/CHRYSLER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN OR ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR

WHEN USING A HIGHWAY ON OR OFF RAMP, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL PROGRAM ENGAGES SUDDENLY CAUSING A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND GRINDING BRAKES. THIS ISSUE NORMALLY OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON AN INCLINE AND IS WELL WITHIN SAFE SPEEDS FOR THE GIVEN ROAD. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVEN WHEN THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL PROGRAM IS TURNED OFF. *NM

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER, AND WHILE DRIVING OFF THE RAMP OF A HIGHWAY AT 20 MPH THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE ,AND THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. ABOUT 10 TIMES AND THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME, IT WAS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ON AN INCLINE. THE CONTACT TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP), AND THAT IN ORDER FOR CONTACT TO AVOID THE FAILURE HE WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THE ESP DEACTIVATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE HAD THE ESP DEACTIVATED HE DID NOT EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. *AK UPDATED *JB
