JOG SLIPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR VIOLENTLY. THE GEAR DOESNT STAY ENGAGED AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN. WHEN IT POPS OUT, YOU ARE A STANDING DUCK.
THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE VALVE LIFTERS THAT CAUSE A TICKING OR KNOCKING SOUND WHILE STATIONARY & IN MOTION. WORSE WHILE IN MOTION, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS THAT TO REPAIR THE ISSUE THE ENGINE HAS TO BE DISASSEMBLED.
SO EVERYTIME WHEN I FILL MY TANK ITS OVER FLOWING AND ITS A REALLY BIG SAFETY ISSUES LAST WEEK I WAS GOING TO WORK AND STOPPED IN GAS STATION AND IT OVER FILLED AND MY SUIT WAS ALL GAS AND WENT TO WORK SMELING AS GAS. ALSO THIS CAN BE REALLY DANGEROUS . IN THE PAST UNDER THE SERVICE BULLETIN 14-001-11 I LOT OF JEEP OWNERS CHANGED THIS PART FOR FREE BUT NOW THE DEALERS ARE NOT CHANGING IT ANYMORE AND ASKING ALMOST 1500$ TO FIX THIS ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY JEEP. JEEP NEEDS TO REACALL THIS CARS AND PAY CHANGE THE GAS TANK
IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, THE POWER LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED ON ALL 4 DOORS. I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK ALL OF THE DOORS. THEY PARTIALLY RESPOND TO THE KEY FOB, BUT THEY DON'T RESPOND AT ALL TO THE LOCK/UNLOCK SWITCH ON THE FRONT DOORS.
WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK FUEL WILL SPILL OUT WHEN THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. SPILLING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF FUEL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ALL OVER THE NOZZLE AND MY HAND AND CREATING A LARGE PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP.
I HAD SERVICE DONE ON THE GAS TANK BUT IT STILL THE GAS SPILLS OUT THE JEEP ONLY HAS AS 48575 MILES. THEIR SAYING IT BACK PRESSURE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESS TO THE MANUFACTURER KNOW THEIR TELLING ME TO 1172 DOLLARS. FOR SOMETHING THAT IS WRONG ON THE GAS THAN I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE I'M SENDING THE REPORT THEY GAVE ME.THIS STARTED AT THE GAS PUMP STATION
FIRST THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING (CHANGED MOTOR AND CONTROLS) THEN THE HORN STOPPED WORKING, THEN THE BLINKER AND LIGHTS ALONG WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SWITCHED THE PANEL AND FINALLY THE TIPM WHICH FIXES ALL ISSUES. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RUN BUT PARKED IT UNTIL AFTER REINSTALLING THE TIPM.
TAKA AIRBAGS, TIPM FUSE BOX. COMPLETELY DISABLES THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT AND HAVE BEEN RUNNING THIS PART IN MANY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP VEHICLES SINCE 1995.MY CAR IS A 2007. IT RECKON HAVOCK ON THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE DEALER MILKS ALL OF YOUR 260 SOMTHING SENSORS BEFORE REPLACING THE TIPM, TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. AND THE SWAY BAR DISCONNECT IS PRONE TO WATER DAMAGE AND SHORTING OUT BECAUSE THEY LET WATER IN THE ASSEMBLY AND SHORT OUT THEN THEY CHARGE YOU 1400 DOLLARS FOR A NEW ONE. WHEN IT IS JUST THE ACTUATOR. A MANUAL OVERRIDE IS ONLY 89.00.ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE FROM THE CAN BUSE C. 90 %OF THIS VEHICLE PROBLEMS ARE FROM THIS CAN BUSE C. BUT NO RECALL ON THE TIPM, SWAY BAR ACTUATOR, OR CAN BUSE C COMMUNICATION. THIS WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHOULD BE A RECALL. IT IS GARBAGE. OVER COMPLICATED AND UNDER NESASARY! DRIVING DONE THE FREEWAY AND THE WHOLE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP I PULLED OVER TURNED CAR OFF AND THEN WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. GOES IN TO A LIMP MODE. I WAS WORRIED THAT IT WOULD SHUT OFF OR WORSE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR LEAVE ME STRANDED IN THE FREEWAY! THE AIRBAG RECALL COULD SET THE AIRBAG OF WILE DRIVING CAUSING YOU TO CRASH.
FUEL DOES NOT SHUT OFF WHILE FILLING TANK, LEADING TO OVERFLOW ONTO VEHICLE, GROUND, KEYS, PERSON.
FOR THE PAST 5 MONTHS I'VE HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I READ THE CODE AND IS SAYS "LARGE E VAP LEAK " I'VE REPLACED THE PCV VALVE AND THE E VAP CHARCOAL CANISTER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I'VE BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY DID A SMOKE TEST AND EVERYTHING TESTED OUT GOOD. SHOWING THAT THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS AND TO START WITH THE GAS CAP. I'VE SPENT OVER 100.DOLLARS ON GAS CAPS AND I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TO FOR EMISSIONS BY THE END OF DECEMBER. I'VE HAD EVERY RECALL KNOWN TO MAN ON THIS JEEP. I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT IT COULD BE THE GAS FILLER NECK ITSELF. HOW TO I GO ABOUT GETTING A NEW ONE AND WILL IT COST ME ANYTHING? I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WHEN I TRY AND FILL THE TANK. THE GAS COMES FLYING BACK OUT IF I TRY AND FILL IT. ITS GETTING OUT OF HAND AND THE DEALERSHIP WON'T GIVE ME AN ANSWER. I WAS GOING TO GO TO.ANOTHER DEALERSHIP BUT I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS WILL COST ME? I HAVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31 TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED OR MY PLATES WILL BE SUSPENDED AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO GET MY PLATE STICKER. WHAT SHOULD I DO?? THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING. THIS STARTED IN THE MIDDLE OF MAY.
MY NAME IS [XXX]. I RUN A REPAIR SHOP CALLED GLEN ALLEN SERVICE CENTER. WE HAVE HAD 3 JEEP WRANGLERS (2007, 2007, AND 2008) THAT HAVE NEEDED BRAKE HOSE REPLACEMENT IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS. THE FIRST ONE WE NOTICED THE HOSE WAS SWOLLEN WHERE A RUBBER COVER IS MADE OVER THE STEEL LINE CRIMP AT THE FRAME AND THE BRAKE CALIPER. WE ADVISED THE CUSTOMER TO REPLACE IT WHICH HE DID. THE OTHER TWO WERE TOWED IN WITH COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE (BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR). CHRYSLER HAS REDESIGNED THE HOSES BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED. BOTH CHRYSLER DEALERS PARTS DEPARTMENTS I DEAL WITH SEEM TO NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ORDERED AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. YOU CAN REACH ME AT [XXX] IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
THE 'HEAT BARRIER/ SOUND BARRIER' CAUSING ON THE JEEPS FLOORBOARDS CAPTURES WATER WHICH THEN COMPLETELY RUSTS OUT THE FLOOR BOARD. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FREAK DEAL WITH MINE, BUT UPON RESEARCH AND TALKING TO OTHERS WHO OWN WRANGLE, I FOUND THIS WAS PRETTY COMMON. I ALSO CAN FEEL THE DRIVERS FLOOR GETTING VERY HOT AS THERE IS NOW ALMOST NOTHING BETWEEN MY FEET AND THE ALUMINUM HEAT SHIELDING FOR THE EXHAUST THAT RUNS JUST UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE.
PARKED AT A GAS STATION, REFUELING MY JEEP TO THE FULLEST CAUSES IT TO CHOKE ON THE GAS AND THROWS UP SOME OF IT.
TAKATA RECALL - IT HAS ALMOST BEEN A YEAR SINCE THE TAKATA RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. IN THAT TIME, I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY JEEP ONCE. AS IT APPEARS THAT THE WRANGLER IS THE ONLY VEHICLE IN THEIR LINE THAT IS AFFECTED, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I HAVE A 2007 WRANGLER AND LIVE IN ALABAMA WHICH IS "ZONE A" FOR THE RECALL. I HAVE A COLLEAGUE THAT HAS A SIMILAR AGED VEHICLE FROM TOYOTA THAT WAS TOLD TO PARK THE CAR AND WAS PROVIDED WITH A LOANER BY TOYOTA UNTIL A FIX WAS AVAILABLE BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER. AS THIS IS THE VEHICLE THAT I USE TO DRIVE MY CHILD TO AND FROM SCHOOL, THIS CONCERNS ME. IT SEEMS THAT JEEP IS MAKING NO EFFORT TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM, AND I AM LEFT PUTTING PASSENGERS OF MY VEHICLE IN DANGER. ANY EFFORT TO CONTACT JEEP HAVE RESULTED IN NO RESPONSE. I WOULD MUCH PREFER TO HAVE THE AIRBAG DISABLED AND/OR REMOVED UNTIL A FIX IS AVAILABLE RATHER THAN A POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR MY CHILD. EVEN A NEW INFLATOR THAT IS NO SO OLD WOULD BE A BETTER TEMPORARY FIX. I WOULD APPRECIATE SEEING SOME ACTION ON JEEP'S PART OR SOME ACTION ON THE PART OF NHTSA TO FORCE THE ISSUE.
FILLING THE JEEP UP WITH FUEL IT SPITS A LOT OF FUEL OUT WHEN IT GETS FULL AND SEVERAL TIMES GETTING ON MY CLOTHS AND SHOES. I'VE READ THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF I WERE TO GET BACK IN THE JEEP AND WOULD GET STATIC AND IGNITE MY CLOTHS AND BURN MYSELF BADLY I DON'T THINK THIS WOULD BE GOOD FOR ANYONE. I'VE READ THAT CERTAIN DEALERS ARE REPLACING THE TANK FOR FREE AND OTHERS AREN'T .IS THERE A RECALL OR FIX IN THE WORKS FOR THIS OR DO PEOPLE HAVE TO BURN UP TO GET ANY ACTION? PLEASE ADVISE
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY JEEP DASH LIT UP AND IT SHUTDOWN. I HAD TO COAST OUT OF HARMS WAY AND HAVE IT TOWED HOME AS IT WOULD NOT RE-START. BEEN READING ABOUT TIPM FAILURES IN MY MODEL YEAR. SEEMS TO BE RELATED. *TR
I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE WILL STALL. IT MAY START BACK UP, OR IT MAY TAKE 10 MINUTES FOR IT TO RESTART. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I BELIEVE IT TO BE A FAULTY TIPM. AT TIMES WHEN IT STALLS, THE BLOWER MOTOR ON THE A/C WILL CONTINUE TO RUN EVEN WITH THE KEY OFF AND OUT OF THE IGNITION. MY CONCERN IS THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WHEN IT STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINT FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE TIPM REPROGRAMMING THAT IS ON RECALL. THIS DIDN'T HELP THE PROBLEM. *TR
TAKATA RECALL....WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 68 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE OVERPASS TODAY, MY JEEP WENT INTO THE DREADED "DEATH WOBBLE". IT WAS HORRIFYING...I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THOUGHT I WOULD FALL OVER THE OVERPASS. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO BUMPS OR POT HOLES. THIS IS THE SCARIEST THING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED ON THE ROAD. IT FELT LIKE 4 BLOW-OUTS SIMULTANEOUSLY. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL ON SUCH A DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR
FUEL SPILLS OUT WHEN FILLING TANK. THE SHUTOFF ON THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURRING. THIS IS NOT AN OVERFILL BUT HAPPENS EVEN WHEN THE PRESSURE IS LIGHT. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN. CHRYSLER/JEEP HAS A TSB TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2010
FIRE STARTED UNDER THE CAR SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. GLOW OF THE FLAME WAS TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE CAR. FIRE WORKED ITS WAY FORWARD AND ENGULFED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CAR WAS IN MOTION EXITING FROM THE HIGHWAY ONTO AN OFF RAMP WHEN ISSUE WAS NOTICED.
INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES HAYWIRE,FLICKERS, GAUGES GO CRAZY(RANDOM) INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES OUT COMPLETELY AT START UP AND SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK POSITION. WHEN DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTING RESETS TIPM AND WILL THEN GO BACK TO NORMAL.WHEN TURNED OFF SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. ENGINE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ALSO.
AS SOON AS I TURN THE CAR OVER, MY DASH LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS COME ON. THE HEADLIGHT STALK AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPER STALK ARE INOPERABLE. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE MY CAR. AND AFTER RESEARCHING THROUGH MULTIPLE FORUMS AND SITES ONLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM, WITH A NON-STANDARD RESOLUTION. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THE HOURS I'M GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND GETTING THIS ADDRESSED. I WAS DRIVING 8/14 WHEN I NOTICED THE ISSUES.
NO PARTS, THEY SAID TO ORDER BUT I DO NOT SEE ANYWAY OF COMPLETING THIS.
JUST AS ALL THE OTHER 2007 JEEP WRANGLERS MY CLOCKSPRING HAS GONE BAD AND MY AIRBAGS AND HORN MALFUNCTION CONSTANTLY. I FILED A REPORTS YEARS AGO BUT THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN REMOVED. I SEE THAT THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLERS HAD THIS RECALLED, BUT 2007 JEEPS WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH. GUESS OUR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF OUR FAMILIES DON'T MEAN SQUAT.
VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKE AT 50 MPH
