2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-Dr 4X4 Problems

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4. WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE MOUNTING PLATE FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

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.

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.

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

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON,HORN STOPPED WORKING,ESP AND BAK LIGHT IS ON N NONE OF CODES CAN BE CLEARED

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.

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.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON BUT WENT OFF. I WAS ON A NARROW ROAD AND WAS ABOUT TO PULL OFF THEN LIGHTS STARTED TO FLASH AND THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT WORK I STOPPED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF BUT IT WOULD NOT STOP. THEN I TRIED TO GET OUT AND THE DOORS ALL LOCKED ON ME.I GOT OUT AND NOTICED WHAT I FIRST THOUGHT WAS A BOILING RADIATOR BUT WHEN I WENT TO LIFT THE BONNET THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE. IT WAS GONE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. JEEP AUSTRALIA DENIED ANY CARS HAD CAUGHT FIRE HERE AND WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO HAVE FORENSICS INVESTIGATE. AT 35,000 THE CLUTCH ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED WHICH JEEP ALSO SAID WAS BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A MANUAL I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR 17 YEARS. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER CARS HERE IN AUSTRALIA WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD

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.

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.

THE ISSUE IS LEAKING TRANSMISSION LINES IN 2007 - 2012 JEEP WRANGLERS EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THE TRANSMISSION LINES THAT LEAD FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE RADIATOR ARE LEAKING WHERE THE LINES CHANGE FROM METAL TO RUBBER. ACCORDING TO MANY PEOPLE ON A WWW.JKFORUM.COM AND OTHER JEEP FORUMS ON THE WEB, THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE. IF SOMEONE IS NOT AWARE OF THE LEAK, IT COULD RESULT WITH ALL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK OUT AND THE TRANSMISSION TO OVER HEAT. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD FAIL AND COST THE CONSUMER $1,000'S TO HAVE REPAIRED. ALSO, IF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK IS SERIOUS, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COULD SPRAY ONTO THE EXHAUST OR ENGINE BLOCK AND CATCH FIRE. LEAKING TRANSMISSION LINES ARE HAPPENING TO TOO MANY JEEP WRANGLERS AND IT IS NOT FAIR FOR ALL THESE CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR THESE DAMAGES. THE COST TO REPLACE THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION LINES COULD RANGE BETWEEN $200 AND $300 DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE. AND ONCE AGAIN...IT IS NOT FAIR FOR THE CONSUMER TO EVEN PAY THIS AMOUNT TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY JEEP WRANGLERS FROM THE MANUFACTURE YEARS OF 2007 - 2012. WHEN I CALL MY DEALERSHIP TO PRICE THE TRANSMISSION LINES, THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE PART BECAUSE THEY ARE SOLD OUT. I HAVE ALSO HEARD THAT THE REPLACEMENT LINES HAVE A NEW PART NUMBER (WHICH MAKES ME THINK THEY HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED) AND ARE ON BACK ORDER.

CHRYSLERS RECALL FOR THE TEMPERATURE WARNING ADDRESSED THE SYMPTOM NOT THE PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE STILL OVERHEATING IN THE WRANGLER. THE SOLUTION IS A $50 TRANSMISSION COOLER. THIS CAN HAPPEN BOTH WHEN OFF ROADING(WHICH THE WRANGLER IS BUILT FOR) BUT OTHERS IN OUR JEEP GROUP HAVE HAD THE SITUATION HAPPEN ON ROAD. MY SITUATION HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON APPROXIMATELY A 20% GRADE ON A DIRT ROAD AT 20 MPH---HOT OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS FORCED TO STOP DRIVING TO ALLOW COOLING---LATER FOUND OUT FROM THE JK-FORUM ONLINE JEEP GROUP THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON AND THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT CORRECTING WITH TRANSMISSION COOLER...BUT IT IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE SOME MECHANIC SKILLS. THE ISSUES IS...IF YOU ADD THE COOLER CHRYSLER CAN VOID YOU WARRANTY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS I SAID THEIR RECALL UNDER YOUR NUMBER 09V436000 ADDRESSED THE SYMPTOM BUT DID NOT SOLVER THE REAL ISSUE---[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *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

WAS DRIVING IN NORMAL ROAD AND WEATHER CONDITIONS ON I-680. VEHICLE STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING SIDE TO SIDE, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS IN EXTREMELY HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH FOR THE SHAKING TO STOP. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE FIRST OF THE YEAR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR AFTER THE SECOND INCIDENT TO HAVE STEERING PARTS REPLACED, BUT IT DID NOT REMEDY THE INCIDENT. I AM EXTREMELY SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE - ESPECIALLY WITH MY WIFE AND THREE KIDS. *TR

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.

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.

I BOUGHT A USED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DOOR SAHARA IN MARCH OF 2012. ABOUT 30 DAYS AFTER THE PURCHASE (WHICH IS WHEN DEALER WARRANTY EXPIRED) THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES STARTING SQUEAKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE DIRTY. THEY "CLEANED" THE BRAKES AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THE NEXT DAY THE BRAKES STARTED SQUEAKING AGAIN EVERY TIME I BRAKE. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE BRAND NEW. AT THIS TIME, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ALSO STOPPED LOCKING CORRECTLY. THE WARRANTY I HAD PURCHASED FOR $2,000 DID NOT COVER ELECTRONICS! A COUPLE MONTHS GO BY AND I EXPERIENCED THE POPULAR DEATH WOBBLE AFTER GETTING AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION. IT TURNS OUT THE REAR TRACKBAR BRACKET WAS CRACKED AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETELY BROKE IN HALF. I BOUGHT A HEAVY DUTY ADJUSTABLE REAR TRACKBAR AND HAD A NEW BRACKET WELDED ON WHICH SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED AGAIN. I THEN TOOK THE JEEP TO GET THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED AND THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED AT JUST 30MPH AS WE WERE LEAVING THE SHOP. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY WERE DUMBFOUNDED AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. SO THEY PLACED THE TIRES BACK WHERE THEY WERE WHEN I TOOK IT IN AND IT STOPPED FOR A COUPLE MORE DAYS. SINCE THEN I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT TRACKBAR, STEERING STABILIZER, AND SHOCKS, WHICH ALL SEEMED TO HAVE PUT IT AT BAY. HOWEVER, NOW I HAVE $340-A-PIECE TIRES THAT HAVE BEEN WORN OUT AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD I CANNOT GET THE ALIGNMENT FIXED UNTIL I REPLACE THE FRONT BALL JOINTS! I PAID ABOUT $30,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE HAD TO PUT IN AROUND $2500 IN REPAIRS AND UPGRADES DUE TO POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE. ON TOP OF THAT I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE IT WITH MY FAMILY FOR FEAR OF OUR SAFETY. I HAVE SEEN MANY ONLINE FORUMS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T HELP ME. THE MANUFACTURER WON'T HELP. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE BEFORE A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS. *TR

THE PAINT ON THE DOOR HINGES ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA BEGAN SHOWING SIGNS OF RUST. PRESENTED VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALER, AND CHRYSLER AGREED TO REPAINT THE HINGES UNDER WARRANTY. WITHIN ONE WEEK, PAINT ON HINGES BEGAN BUBBLING. CHRYSLER AGAIN AGREED TO REPAINT HINGES UNDER WARRANTY. IN TALKING WITH BODY SHOP, THE ISSUE IS THAT THE HINGES ARE AN ALLUMINUM ALLOY, AND, WITH THE STEEL HINGE PIN AND THE STEEL DOOR, GALVANIC CORROSION HAS OCCURRED, AND WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR. SOUNDS TO BE A FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN FLAW (FUNDAMENTAL METALLURGY). HINGES HAVE BEEN REPAINTED A SECOND TIME, WITH INDICATIONS THAT THE PAINT IS BEGINNING TO BUBBLE. BODY SHOP HAS ADVISED THAT THE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE UNTIL HINGES ARE REPLACED WITH A SIMILAR METAL OR STAINLESS STEEL. ADVISED BY BODY SHOP THAT THEY HAVE DONE THE SAME REPAIR ON APPROXIMATELY 6 OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. AFTER A SORT INTERNET SEARCH, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT ADDRESSED APPROPRIATELY. *TR

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.

MY JEEP WRANGLER HAS HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE, ISSUES WITH THE SAFETY BELTS NOT RETRACTING PROPERLY [BROKE MY HAND] HAD STALLING AND SUSPENSION PROBLEMS, I CURRENTLY HAVE A CHIP ON THE BOTTOM UNDERSIDE OF THE WINSHIELD., WHEN I HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE THE DEALER TOLD ME I HAD TO MUCH WEIGHT ON THE FRONT END FROM MY BUMPER AND WINCH,[I REPLACED THE STABILIZER WOBBLE SEEMS TO HAVE WENT AWAY] THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE WOBBLE OR SEAT BELTS. IT WAS MY IMAGINATION, WHAT I ALSO HAD AND IS DOCUMENTED IN THE DEALER FILES MY ACCELERATOR STUCK , I WAS FORTUNATE SOME ONE ELSE WAS DRIVING SO I COULD SEE HIS FEET AND THE FLOOR MATS NOTHING WAS STUCK WHEN HE STOMPED ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WAS JUST LIKE THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED , MY JEEP DOESN'T HAVE CRUISE CONTROL. 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. MAYBE OUR GOVERMENT SHOULD FORCE A RECALL LIKE THEY DID TO TOYOTA TO DATE MY JEEP HAS ONLY 22.000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER . GOOD LUCK ALL

WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THE JEEP WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN IT WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A SAAB 93 GOING ABOUT 30-40 MPH. THE SEAT BELT DID NOT CATCH ON THE JEEP AND THUS MY FOREHEAD STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS TOLD BY THE JEEP DEALER THAT WITH THIS MODEL JEEP THE SEATS BELTS DO NOT CATCH UNLESS THEY ARE ENGAGED JUST RIGHT. SO BECAUSE I WAS IN A STOPPED POSITION AND WAS AT REST IT WOULD NOT HAVE CAUGHT. I WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT WITH A SEVERE CONTUSION TO MY FOREHEAD. HAVING SAID THIS, THE JEEP ITSELF HELD UP EXTREMELY WELL IN THE CRASH. THE POLICE MAN ON DUTY SAID IT WAS WHAT SAVED ME FROM FURTHER HARM. I AM NERVOUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOT KNOWING IF THE SEAT BELTS WILL WORK IN THE FUTURE. I ALSO HAVE 3 CHILD SEATS IN THIS CAR AND WORRY ABOUT THOSE AS WELL. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DO NOT CHECK THESE AND WOULDN'T CHECK IT AFTER THE ACCIDENT EVEN THOUGH I REQUESTED IT. THE CAR WAS IN THEIR SHOP FOR 3 WEEKS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT CAN BE DONE. *TR

DRIVE A 2007 4-DOOR WRANGLER. WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASE, HIT A SMALL BUMP GOING AROUND 50 MPH ON HIGHWAY. CAR STEERING VIBRATED UNCONTROLLABLY MOVING ABOUT 2-INCHES SIDE TO SIDE. NO SHOULDER AVAILABLE (CAUSED OTHER CARS TO SWERVE AWAY FROM ME) BUT AFTER BREAKING, IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED. ASKED DEALER SERVICE WORKERS (WHILE IT WAS BEING LOOKED AT FOR SECOND RECALL FOR COMPUTER/BREAKS) WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING, THEY CLAIMED "THAT IS WHAT JEEPS DO". HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES UNTIL A WITNESS FROM THE ROAD PULLED ME OVER TO TELL ME "HE THOUGHT MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS GOING TO COME OFF." JEEP CLAIMED TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE. (THERE ARE WEBSITE ABOUT "DEATH WOBBLE" EVERYWHERE). BROUGHT TO DEALER, FIXED TIE ROD. HAPPENED AGAIN, SAID IT MIGHT BE A BAD TIRE. WILL BE AT MY EXPENSE. CALLED TIRE MANUFACTURER, TO START A FILE. *TR

WE HAVE HAD 5 FLAT TIRES IN THE LAST MONTH ON A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. WE DID NOT FIND ANYTHING IN THE TIRE AND IT NEVER HAS BEEN ANYPLACE THAT THE OTHER VEHICLE DOES NOT GO. TIRES ARE GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A P245/75R16. *TR
