MY JEEP GETS WHAT THEY CALL A DEATH SHUDDER...IT DOES IT SPARATICALLY AT AROUND 40 MPH...EVERYTHING IN THE FRONT SHAKES HORRIBLY AND FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO FALL APART ...ON ANY ROAD...GOING STRAIGHT...NO BUMPS INVOLVED
AT ABOUT 50 TO 70 MPH, THERE IS A VIOLENT SHAKING. I'VE LOOKED IT UP AND MAY HAVE REFERRED TO IT A 'DESTH WOBBLE' EXTREMELY TERRIFYING AND YOU HAVE TO SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO. ONLOOKERS CAN GET DISTRACTED DUE TO THE SHAKING AND HAVEN AN ACCIDENT AS WELL. IT FEELS LIKE EXTREME TURBULENCE. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 5 TIMES.
EACH TIME I ADD FUEL FROM A GAS PUMP, ONCE THE PUMP STOPS AUTOMATICALLY, THE FUEL SPITS OUT FUEL, AS IF THERE IS TOO MUCH AIR GETTING INTO THE TANK AND PUSHING OUT THE FUEL. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, AND GAS GETS ALL OVER MY TIRE COVER, JEEP BODY, AND EVEN SOMETIMES ON ME, IF I AM HOLDING THE PUMP.
THERE IS A HORRIBLE WOBBLE IN THE JEEP. FELT VERY UNSAFE AS IT HAPPENED SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X2. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
TAKATA RECALL; S33/ NHTSA 16V-290. WHILE TRAVELLING FORWARD AT APPROXIMATELY 35 TO 40 MPH IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION, A VEHICLE TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME AND OUR VEHICLES COLLIDED. UNABLE TO APPLY ANY SORT OF BRAKING, MY JEEP'S FRONT CENTER AND FRONT LEFT SIDE STRUCK THE LEFT FRONT, LEFT FRONT QUARTER-PANEL, AND DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. MY JEEP SPUN APPROXIMATELY 45 DEGREES TO THE LEFT BEFORE COMING TO A STOP WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AS A RESULT OF THE CRASH. I SUFFERED INJURIES TO MY LEFT HAND, LEFT THUMB, LEFT WRIST, LEFT FOREARM, LEFT SHOULDER, LEFT SIDE OF MY NECK, LEFT SCAPULA, CHEST, RIGHT HIP, LEFT KNEE, LEFT, SHIN, AND LOWER BACK. AS OF THIS TIME, I AM STILL TREATING MY INJURIES. THE IMPACT FORCE WAS ENOUGH TO BEND MY STEERING WHEEL AS WELL.
DEATH WOBBLE AT HIGH SPEEDS FEELS LIKE JEEP IS FALLING APART
TWO WEEKS AGO I WHEN TO THE DEALER TO DETAIL CLEAN MY JEEP, I PARK AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE SHOP, WHEN THEY WHERE GOING TO TAKE MY JEEP IN FOR CLEANING, IT WILL NOT START, THEY HAD TO PUSH THE JEEP INTO THE SHOP, AFTER CHECKING IT FOR A WILD, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT BURN A FUSE, THEY REPLACE IT AND EVERYTHING WAS FIND. LAST WEEK WHEN I CAME OUT OF MY JOB, THE JEEP WILL NOT START AGAIN, I JUST REPLACE THE FUSE AND IT WAS ALL FINE. THIS MORNING AM AT WAWA GETTING COFFEE AND WHEN I CAME OUT , THE JEEP WILL NOT START, HAD TO GET A TOLL TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO MY MECHANIC. HE CHECK IT AND TOLD ME THERE SOMETHING CUTTING OFF THE POWER AND BLOWING THE FUSE EVERY TIME HE TRY TO START IT. HE TOLD TO CHECK WITH THE DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL OR PROBLEM WITH THIS, I CALL AND BY MY VIN NUMBER THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL, A RECALL ON THE SWITCH AND FOR CUTTING OFF THE POWER WAS ISSUED FOR NEWER MODELS BUT NOT FOR 2007. I WILL LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE BEEN OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS, NOW I REMEMBER THAT SOMETIMES MY JEEP WILL BE LOOSING LIKE POWER OR STALLING WHEN I WAS DRIVING, I KEEP MY JEEP CLEAN AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITIONS , UP TO DATE IN MAINTENANCE, BUT THIS WORRYING ME. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH A 2008 JEEP, AND HE TOLD ME HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS.
GREETINGS, MY 2007 JEEP WEANGLER HAS A FUELING ISSUE. WHEN EVER I FUEL MY JEEP IT OVERFLOWS AND SPITS GAS BACK AT ME WHEN EVER THE TANK GETS CLOSE TO FULL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME AND AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS.
DEATH WOBBLE. I'M SURE NOT THE FIRST COMPLAINT YOU'VE SEEN FOR IT. THIS IS A COMPLETE BS PROBLEM TO HAVE ON A $40,000 VEHICLE AND CHRYSLER/JEEP NEEDS TO BE HELD LIABLE FOR IT. I HAVE SPENT OVER $2,000 REPLACING COMPONENTS ON THE FRONT-END - NONE OF WHICH HAVE "CURED" THE VIOLENT "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE GOING 50 - 60MPH. JUST TO ADD ANOTHER DEFINITION TO THE PROBLEM, I WILL EXPLAIN IN DETAIL. YOU HIT A BUMP OR A POTHOLE GOING ANYWHERE FROM 40 TO 60 MPH OR SO, AND THE WHOLE FRONT END BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES, WHEELS ARE WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH LIKE CRAZY, AND THE CAR IS HARD TO CONTROL. THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP IT UNTIL YOU PULL OFF THE ROAD AND STOP THE VEHICLE. SHODDY MANUFACTURING IS THE ONLY REAL CULPRIT I CAN POINT TO BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND THE HUNDREDS OF ACCOUNTS I HAVE PERSONALLY READ ONLINE JUST TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR MY OWN PROBLEM. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER/JEEP...
WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE HITS ROUGHLY 55 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL NEARLY SNATCHES OUT OF MY HAND IN A VIOLENT MATTER. THE VEHICLE FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS ABOUT TO CRASH. I HAVE TO SLAM ON BREAKS, HOPING NO ONE IS BEHIND ME, TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO STOP THE VIOLENT SHAKING. THE SHAKING IS KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE".
AS I WAS DRIVING MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IT STILL COMES ON, TH HIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BUT I'M WORRIED IF IT'S A FAULTY AIR BAG? OR SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE HARMFUL LATER, SINCE I HAVE 2 KIDS JUST BEING CONCERNED BECAUSE I SAW IN THE NEWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON AIRBAGS FROM I THINK TATAKA AIR BAGS MANUFACTURER AND SAW CHRYSLER AS ONE OF THE COMPANIES USING THESE AIRBAGS ON THEIR VEHICLES!!?? THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK! BEST REGARDS *TR
AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON, DING SOUND EVERY FEW SECONDS. *TR
WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW TO MODERATE SPEED, THE FRONT END SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE STEERING. THIS HAPPENS DRIVING SLOW, OR AT 60 MPH, STRAIGHT-A-WAYS OR CURVES. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT STOPPED IS TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND COME TO A STOP. THIS JEEP HAS NOT BEEN LIFTED, IT HAS THE SAME PARTS ON IT AS WHAT WAS ON IT WHEN PURCHASED AND I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS DONE TO IT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGERS AND SCARY FOR THE DRIVER. *JS
I HAVE FILLED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT BUT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED I HAVE HAD 2 STEERING DAMPERS REPLACED BY JEEP IN THE PAST, NOW THEY ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THE DEFECT BUT NOT OFFERING ANY KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO FIX THE DEATH WOBBLE ( VIOLENT SHAKING AND LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE) THIS IS STILL HAPPENING WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES ON MY CAR, WE LIKE THE JEEP BUT WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT MUCH OR TAKE ON ROAD TRIP THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE I AM A SINGLE MOM I CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE STEERING COMPONENTS REPLACED AT MY COST SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER , MY WRANGLER HAS A BAD NAME DUE TO SO MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS IT IS UNSELLABLE. IM STUCK WITH A VERY DANGEROUS JEEP! THIS HAS GONE ON TOO LONG WHY ARE YOU NOT FORCING A RECALL ARE YOU WAITING FOR DEATHS DUE TO THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION POWER AND DECELERATED TO 5 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ENGINE HAD SPUN A ROD AND THAT THERE METAL PIECES IN THE OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000.
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A PRODUCT CALLED CELLCONTROL WHICH IS A DISTRACTED DRIVING PREVENTION PRODUCT. WHEN PLUGGING THEIR PRODUCT INTO MY OBD PORT MY CAR'S COMPUTER BEGAN ACTING UP. AFTER 2 WEEKS IN THE SHOP AND REPLACEMENT OF 2 COMPUTERS IN MY VEHICLE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CELLCONTROL DEVICE NOT ONLY COOKED MY CAR'S ELECTRONICS BUT IT VOIDED MY WARRANTY SINCE I BROKE THE FACTORY INSTALLED SEAL ON THE OBD PORT IN ORDER TO PLUG THEIR DEVICE IN. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN ADEQUATELY TESTED AND MAY RESULT IN ACCIDENTS SINCE MY VEHICLE AT ONE POINT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF HIGH GEAR DUE TO THE COMPUTER MALFUNCTIONING. *TR
I WAS FUELING MY JEEP. WHILE THE PUMP WAS ACTIVE I WAS WASHING THE WINDOWS. I HEARD ANS SMELLED FUEL SPLASHING AND HAD TO RUN BACK AND MANUALLY DISENGAGE THE NOZZLE. THE LEFT REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND WERE COVERED WITH GAS. THINKING IT MIGHT BE A GAS PUMP (GAS STATION) PROBLEM, I IGNORED THE PROBLEM. WHEN IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, I GOT REPAIRS DONE AT A LOCAL GARAGE. MY GARAGE LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND HTTP://WWW.EDMUNDS.COM/AUTOOBSERVER-ARCHIVE/2011/02/CHRYSLER-FUEL-SPIT-BACK-COMPLAINTS-RISE.HTML WHICH DOCUMENTS A SPIKE IN COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MERGE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO FURTHER INSPECT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE UNKNOWN REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THE INITIAL FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 132,744.
MY COMPUTER IN THE JEEP THINKS THE AIRBAG WENT OFF TOOK IT IN AND DEALER SAID AIR BAG IS DEAD. 1ST GEAR POPS OUT OF GEAR ALMOST DIED ON TAKE OFF, TURNING LEFT . *TR
UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING VIBRATING LOSS OF STEERING.....

THE FRONT END BEGAN AN UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE AT ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WAS TO GRADUALLY SLOW DOWN TO A STOP. THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON FOR IT TO BEGAN. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. THE ROAD I WAS TRAVELING WAS AN IMPROVED SMOOTH PAVED ROAD. THE CAR COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED. *TR
FUEL SPILLAGE WHILE REFILLING.*TR
I AM EXPERIENCING WHAT HAS BECOME KNOWN AS JEEP WOBBLE AND EVEN HAS BEEN CALLED DEATH WOBBLE. DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL SPEEDS GO BELOW 20 MPH. THIS OCCURS AT TIMES WITHOUT UNSTABLE ROAD CONDITIONS AND IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS OCCURRING WHEN CROSSING A BRIDGE OR ANY WHERE THAT THE ROAD SURFACE CHANGES. JEEP HAS REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER AND DAMPENER THREE TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS AND REPLACED THE SHOCKS AS WELL. *TR
