2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-Dr 4X2 Problems

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.

THERE IS A HORRIBLE WOBBLE IN THE JEEP. FELT VERY UNSAFE AS IT HAPPENED SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

DEATH WOBBLE AT HIGH SPEEDS FEELS LIKE JEEP IS FALLING APART

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.

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.

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.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK! BEST REGARDS *TR

DEATH WOBBLE AT HIGH SPEEDS FEELS LIKE JEEP IS FALLING APART

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

REAR SEAT A 60/40 BENCH WILL NOT FOLD SINCE THE HEAD REST GETS STUCK. *TR

HOOD RAISES UP 2 TO 3 INCHES DURING HIGH WINDS OR WHEN PASSED BY APPROACHING LARGE TRUCK. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 28,000 MILES HAS PREMATURE WEAR OF THE REAR BRAKE PADS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT 55 MPH,WENT THROUGH A SERIES OF BUMPS ON THE ROAD WHICH BEGAN UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION OR WOBBLING, AND VIOLENT SHAKING, IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND FRONT END. FRONT END AND TIRES APPEARED TO BE MOVING LEFT TO RIGHT IN THE UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE. THIS HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS AFTER HITTING BUMPS ON A HIGHWAY AND COMPONENTS ON THE FRONT END APPEAR TO BE VISUALLY INTACT. THIS VEHICLE IS A WRANGLER X UNLIMITED 4 X 2 - 4 DOOR. ALL 4 INCIDENCES TOOK PLACE WITHIN 50 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. *AK

I PURCHASED A 2007 FOUR DOOR STEEL BLUE JEEP WRANGLER FROM A DEALERSHIP IN KANSAS. FROM THE START, I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHENEVER WOULD HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE CAME WITH AFTERMARKET TIRES AND RIMS THAT WERE 18 INCHES, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LIKE THAT. WHEN I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD 1ST THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH IT. THEN I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE TIRES, THEN I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A HEAVY DUTY STEERING DAMPER. I HAVE SINCE GOT THE TIRES THAT ORIGINALLY CAME WITH THE VEHICLE PUT BACK ON THEM, A NEW HEAVY DUTY STEERING DAMPER, BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE JEEP, IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE IN THE ROAD. I HAVE TO BRING MY VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP, NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING 10 MPH OR 65 MPH, PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND PULL OVER IF I CAN, BEFORE RESUMING DRIVING. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 22000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I EVEN PURCHASED A 2ND VEHICLE TO AVOID DRIVING THE JEEP. BUT, I AM STILL PAYING ON THIS JEEP AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT WITHOUT FEAR AND ANXIETY ABOUT A POSSIBLY COLLISION OR ACCIDENT WHICH I EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME I'M BEHIND THE WHEEL. THIS WINTER, I HAD TO DRIVE IT FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS DOWN FOR REPAIRS, BUT SINCE I HAD CAR FIXED I HAVE SINCE PARKED THE JEEP AGAIN. I NEED SOME SERIOUS HELP, NOT JUST FOR ME BUT FOR OTHER JEEP OWNERS, IF YOU ARE SO INCLINED PLEASE CHECK OUT "JK DEATH WOBBLE" AS IT IS TERMED ON THE INTERNET AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED SINCE 2007, AND MANY JEEP OWNERS AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. I EXPERIENCE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE JEEP WITHOUT FAIL, ABOUT 2-3 TIMES DEPENDING ON THE ROAD CONDITION, POTHOLES, BUMPS, AND UNEVEN WEAR. *TR

I GUESS I AM WRITING WITH MORE THAN ONE ISSUE. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE OF SUCH A LONG EXPLANATION BUT I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD BEFORE DELVING INTO THIS. I PURCHASED MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X 4-DOOR 2WD IN OCTOBER OF 2006. I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY VICTIMS THAT WHILE GOING 70 MPH, THE ENTIRE JEEP SHUT DOWN AND THEN RESTARTED ON IT'S OWN. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. TOOK IT IN ONCE, I GOT THE "I'M SORRY LOOK" AND WAS LET GO. DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER WITH THE DEALERSHIP THE SECOND TIME AND FINALLY WAS LUCKY ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE A WRECK BEFORE THE RECALL WAS SENT. WITHIN ONE MONTH, NOT MORE THAN 1200 ON THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START. CALLED TOW TRUCKS TWICE. EACH TIME, IT TOOK THE TOW TRUCK 30-45 MINUTES TO ARRIVE AND IN THAT TIME FRAME, WITH REPEATED EFFORTS, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN FOR ABOUT 6 - 9 MONTHS THEN CAME FEBRUARY 2007. IT WAS ABOUT 45 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I WALKED OUT TO GET THE MAIL. AS I LOOKED UP AT THE JEEP, I WAS STOPPED DEAD IN MY TRACKS AND DID NOT EVEN WANT TO FACE WHAT I KNEW HAD HAPPENED. RIGHT BELOW WHERE THE WINDSHIELD STARTS, RIGHT ABOVE THE HOOD, ON THE DRIVERS' SIDE WAS AN APPROXIMATE 1" CRACK. I WENT BACK OUTSIDE 3 TIMES THINKING MAYBE I "THOUGHT" I WAS SEEING SOMETHING THAT WASN'T REALLY THERE. WITHIN ONE WEEK, THE CRACK HAD EXTENDED UP ABOUT 1/2" AND CRACKED HORIZONTALLY ABOUT 4 INCHES ACROSS. SO SORRY AGAIN FOR THE LONG, INDEPTH LETTER. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME ADVICE. LANA JACKSON LAWTON OKLAHOMA *TR
