2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-Dr 4X4 Driver assistance Problems

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.

I WAS DRIVING WITH FRIENDS WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. OVERHEATING, AC STOPPED WORKING, AND AN ODD SPEED FLUCTUATION. I INFORMED THE PEOPLE I WAS WITH THAT I WAS GOING TO DRIVE TO THE MAIN ROAD. BEFORE I GOT THERE, ABOUT 50 FEET, THE WHOLE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FLAMES WENT OVER THE TOP OF THE JEEP. LUCKILY THE FLAMES DIED DOWN BRIEFLY ENOUGH FOR ME TO JUMP OUT . I LOST EVERYTHING IN THE JEEP AND THE JEEP ITSELF. UPON CONTACTING JEEP, THEY SAID IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT RATHER IT WAS MY FAULT. CLEARLY SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONED AND I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I HIT A BUMP AND MY WHOLE JEEP RAPIDLY RATTLED BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE ROAD, NEARLY CAUSING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. IT STARTLED ME SEVERELY, AND I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES, SLOWLY DECELERATING. IT TOOK UNTIL I GOT DOWN TO 25MPH FOR IT TO STOP SHIMMYING. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE NEAREST GAS STATION, CHECKED MY TIRE PRESSURE AND MADE SURE THERE WERE NO IDENTIFIABLE OBTRUSIONS THAT WOULD AFFECT PERFORMANCE, AND CARRIED ON, VERY CAUTIOUSLY. THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN, SOMETIMES GOING AS LOW AT 45MPH, BUT ONLY WHEN SOMETHING IN THE ROAD KNOCKS IT OFF BALANCE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY JEEP AT ALL. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4DR 4X4. AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH, THE FRONT TIRES BEGIN TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. THE SHAKING ONLY STOPPED AFTER I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAPPENED AFTER I HIT A BUMPY ROAD. MY JEEP HAS BEEN A STREET VEHICLE AND REALLY NOT GOING ON THE HIGHWAY MANY TIMES. I ONLY HAVE UNDER 9,000 MILES. NOW THAT I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, AND I HAVE TO DRIVE IN HIGHWAYS, I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING SPEEDS OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 SAFARI WITH ESP (ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM). ESP INTERMITTENTLY TURNS ON BY ITSELF AND CAN'T BE TURNED OFF. IT WILL EVENTUALLY TURN ITSELF OFF. DEALER TELLS ME IT'S CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN, WHICH ALSO CONTROLS THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG, CRUISE CONTROL AND THE HORN! I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, IF ANY OF THESE DEVICES QUIT WORKING, BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING!!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I FILLED THE TIRES TO THE SPECIFIED AMOUNT AND DROVE DOWN THE ROAD. THE JEEP ALL OF A SUDDEN VIOLENTLY SHOOK BACK AND FOURTH TO THE POINT I COULD BARLEY HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, VISUALLY CHECK THE WHEELS AND DRIVE AWAY AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I BELIEVE WHAT I EXPERIENCED WAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." NOW RECENTLY MY FATHER WAS DRIVING THE SAME JEEP AND IT HAPPENED TO HIM 3 TIMES ON A ROAD TRIP WITHOUT THE TIRE PRESSURES BEING CHANGED. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. I BELIEVE THIS IS JUST A FIX TO THE DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSED BY THE JEEPS MALFUNCTIONS AND THEY DID NOT FIX ANYTHING TO PREVENT THE WOBBLE FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. *TR

THE BRAKES SCARE ME AT TIMES, FEEL LIKE THEIR NOT THERE FROM TIME TO TIME, I TELL WHO EVER DRIVES IT NOT TO TRUST THE BRAKES, THIS IS MY LAST NEW CHRYSLER, MY HAND STILL HURTS.

SINCE THE DAY I DROVE THE 2007 4-DOOR JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA OFF THE DEALER'S LOT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER EVERY TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON AND RESTART THE CAR. I NORMALLY COULD NOT DRIVE MORE THAN 5 MILES UNTIL I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO RESTART THE CAR. AFTER READING ABOUT ALL OF THE STALLING PROBLEMS PEOPLE WERE HAVING I WA SCONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THOSE RIDING WITH ME. THE STALLING SEEMED TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. I TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ONCE AND THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPGRADE, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON. THE DEALERSHIP KNEW OF NO PROBLEMS BUT AFTER DOING A TINY BIT OF RESEARCH ON THE NET, I HAVE FOUND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ROUGHLY 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY THROTTLE FELT A LITTLE WEIRD THEN THE RPMS DROPPED TO ZERO AS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. IMMEDIATELY HEADED FOR THE SHOULDER AS I LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING ALTHOUGH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING/BRAKING SYSTEM WAS ALERTED DURING MY SWERVE TOWARDS THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS VERY UNRESPONSIVE. UPON REACHING THE SHOULDER THE VEHICLE STALLED. TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, AND THEN RESTARTED IT AND CAUTIOUSLY RETURNED HOME. CONSULTED THE MANUAL AND IT APPEARED THAT SUCH EVENTS WERE EXPECTED AND CONSIDERED NORMAL IF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT DID NOT RETURNED UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE.*AK THE VEHICLE HAS SHOWN SIGNS OF REPEATING THIS TROUBLE AND DURING THOSE TIMES I HAVE LET OFF THE THROTTLE, DOWN SHIFTED AND THEN SHIFTED UP AGAIN IN HOPES THAT WHATEVER GLITCH WAS OCCURRING WOULD BE RESET. CONDITIONS: LATE AFTERNOON, 80*F, DRIVING FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES MANUAL TRANSMISSION , STEREO WAS ON. *AK
