2002 Jeep Wrangler Problems

Frame is rotted out. Vehicle is well maintained and it is upsetting. After spending good money for a reputable brand, the frame did not last. It is not drivable and is unsafe to be on the road.

DEATH WOBBLE EXPERIENCED DAILY SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. I HIT A BUMP OR UNEVEN PATCH OF ROAD AND DEATH WOBBLE BEGINS IT USUALLY STARTS AT 35- 40 MPH. I SOMETIMES HAVE TO SLOW ALL THE WAY TO 20 MPH TO MAKE IT STOP. I HAVE REPLACED U JOINTS, REAR DRIVE SHAFT, BALL JOINTS, TIRES, STEERING STABILIZER, TIE RODS, GOTTEN WHEEL BALANCES MANY TIMES, REPLACED DRAG LINK AND ALL BUSHINGS. NOTHING HAS HELPED SO FAR.

FOR A POPULAR ON AND OFF ROAD VEHICLE WHICH HAS A REPUTATION FOR STRENGTH AND DURABILITY, WHY WOULD THE FRAME, THE VERY FOUNDATION OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE, BE SO SUSCEPTIBLE TO RUSTING OUT AND MAKING SAID VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. NOT COOL , JEEP, NOT COOL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VALVE COVER GASKET WAS DEFECTIVE, LEAKING, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000.

FRAME RUSTING OUT

THE 2002 JEEP WRANGLER HAS APPROX. 85000 MILES ON IT. NEVER USED OFF ROAD - JUST TO AND FROM WORK. BROUGHT VEHICLE IN FOR WORK ON CLUTCH AND REPAIR SHOP STATES THAT THE VEHICLE FRAME IS ROTTED THROUGH AND NEED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE TRANSMISSION IS ABLE TO BE REMOVED. FRONT FENDERS HAVE RUSTED THROUGH IN SAME SPOT ON EACH SIDE. *TR

ON DECEMBER 1, 2017 WALMART INSTALLED 5 NEW GOODYEAR TIRES ON MY WRANGLER. THE FIFTH WAS FOR THE SPARE. THE OLD TIRES HAD TREAD BUT WERE 7 YEARS OLD. I TOW THIS JEEP BEHIND AN RV. I BOUGHT THE TIRES TO AVOID A BLOWOUT WHILE TOWING. ON JANUARY 20 WE STARTED OUR SEASONAL TRIP TO FLORIDA. ABOUT 4:00 PM, THE LEFT FRONT TIRE CAME APART DESTROYING THE FENDER, TURN SIGNAL, SIDE MARKER, BENT FRONT BUMPER, RIPPED THE WIRING FROM THE RV THAT CONTROLS LIGHTS, AS WELL AS THE FRONT JEEP WIRING LEFT SIDE. WHEN I STOPPED, NOTHING BUT A PIECE OF WIRE WAS WRAPPED AROUND THE FRONT RIM. NO RUBBER AND THE ALLOY RIM DAMAGED BEYOND USE. AT THAT POINT I JUST THOUGHT I PICKED UP A NAIL AND GOT A FLAT. THANK GOODNESS I HAD A NEW SPARE WAS MY THOUGHT. THE NEXT DAY, 1/21/18, ABOUT 3:00 PM THE RIGHT REAR TIRE CAME APART AND WHEN I GOT STOPPED THE ONLY THING LEFT WAS ABOUT AN INCH WHERE THE TIRE MEETS THE RIM, 2 RINGS OF RUBBER. I HAD TO HAVE THE JEEP TOWED TO THE NEAREST TIRE CENTER, FIRESTONE COMPLETE AUTO CARE. THERE, I NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD SMALL PIECES OF RUBBER MISSING. I REPLACED ALL THE REMAINING GOODYEAR TIRES. I CONTACTED BOTH WALMART AND GOODYEAR. GOODYEAR HAD ME FILL OUT A CLAIM FORM, NUMBER 601521. THEY MADE ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE AND THE 2 PIECES SHIPPED BACK TO THEM. I RECEIVED A CERTIFIED FORM LETTER STATING THE ONE TIRE HAS NORMAL WEAR (CHUNKS OF RUBBER MISSING IS NORMAL WEAR?) AND MANUFACTURED FINE. I CONTACTED GOODYEAR BY PHONE AND ASKED HOW THAT DETERMINATION CAN BE MADE WHEN TWO NEW TIRES, ONE DAY APART, CAME APART AND A THIRD SHOWING SIGNS OF A PROBLEM. SINCE THEY DONT HAVE A TIRE TO EXAMINE THEY CLAIM THE PROBLEM IS NOT THEIRS. THEY SAID TO SEND PICTURES. THE RESULT WAS THE SAME. I HAVE REQUESTED THAT THE TIRE BE RETURNED TO MY RESIDENCE. I HAVE MORE THAN $4000 DAMAGE TO MY JEEP, AND A MANUFACTURER THATS STANDING IN ANOTHER WORLD. THEY CONVENIENTLY LOST THE TWO RUBBER RINGS, BLAMING IT ON FEDEX.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. VEHICLE SPUN AROUND THREE TIMES AND THEN STOPPED. DEALER INSPECTED THE TIRE AND FOUND METAL INSIDE THE TIRE. TWO DAYS LATER, THE LEFT REAR AND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRES BLEW OUT, AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RUN OFF THE ROAD. AFTER INSPECTING THE TIRES, DEALER DESTROYED TIRES, AND DID NOT WRITE DOWN THE DOT NUMBERS ON THE TIRES. *AK

RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINE RUSTED ALONG FRAME RAIL CAUSING LINE TO SPLIT AT WHICH TIME BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT AS WELL AS BOTH REAR BRAKE OPERATION FAILED COMPLETELY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH IN MY JEEP WRANGLER ON THE HIGHWAY I BRAKE AS USUAL AND NEXT THING I KNOW THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I HAD A TOTAL BRAKE LOSS FAILURE. I PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE PEDAL WOULD NOT REGAIN STOPPING POWER. I SWERVED VIOLENTLY TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST REAR ENDED A TRUCK. I MANAGED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN MY JEEP WRANGLER. NO INJURIES, NO PROPERTY DAMAGE...LUCKY ME. THE REASON FOR BRAKE PEDAL LOSS WAS DUE TO RUST WHICH ATE AT THE BRAKE LINE OVER TIME AND THEN FINALLY THE BRAKE LINE GAVE OUT. I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINES IN MY JEEP WRANGLER. VERY PRICEY REPAIR. WISH I WAS INFORMED OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE PROBLEM. THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE! *TR

S10 APPROPRIATE HANDLING- LETTER TO THE SECRETARY FROM CONSTITUENT RE SHARING THE COPY OF A RESPONSE FROM GENERAL MOTORS (GM), REGARDING IGNITION SWITCHES. *SMD THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THE IGNITION KEY VIBRATED OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK, BUT NOT SHUT OFF. ON OCCASION, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK AND LOSE POWER. HOWEVER, AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER WOULD RETURN. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT THE CAM SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CAM SENSOR WAS REPLACED AGAIN, AS WELL AS THE COIL MODULE AND SPARK PLUGS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 91,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000. UPDATED 02/08/08. *LJ

AT 65 MPH ON I-95 IN MARYLAND, THE CLUTCH AND BEARINGS BURNED OUT. ALL POWER TO POWER BRAKES AND STEERING WERE LOST IMMEDIATELY MAKING AN EMERGENCY STOP AND STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT. RECENT DEALER MAINTENANCE FAILED TO DETECT ANY EXCESS IVE WEAR OR POTENTIAL FOR FAILURE. *JB

I OWN A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY AND NOTICED THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT BUTTON STICKS..USUALLY IN COLDER MONTHS AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO FASTEN THE BELT (AS IT WILL NOT GO INTO THE SLOT). NOT SURE IF THIS IS COVERED AS I BELIEVE ITS DEFECTIVE. DOESN'T' DO IN SUMMER, JUST WINTER. MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED, I HAVE APPROX 45K MILES ON THE JEEP. HOW DO I PROCEED? DO I JUST HAVE DEALER FIX & SHOULD IT BE FREE OF CHARGE SINCE THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM FOLKS WHO OWN THE SAME MODEL/YEAR? *NM

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN OCTOBER 2002 WITH MY 2002 JEEP WRANGLER X. I HIT THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME GOING ABOUT 40MPH, AND WAS THEN HIT FROM BEHIND. NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED, NOR DID THE SEAT BELT TIGHTEN. I HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEARING WHEEL. I TRIED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH DAIMLER-CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND WAS TOLD SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS ALREADY BEING WORKED ON THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT. I WAS IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT AUGUST 8, 2003. SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HIT HIM GOING ABOUT 55 MPH. THE AIRBAGS AGAIN DID NOT DEPLOY. I AM TRYING TO GET AN ANSWER OUT OF DAIMLER-CHRYSLER AGAIN AND THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND ABOUT IT.*AK

I WAS DRIVING ON THE PALISADES PARKWAY GOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK AND WOULD NOT RETURN TO IDLE. I WAS ABLE TP PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF. WHEN VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED THE IDLE WAS OVER 4000 RPMS. I AM AN ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND ON INSPECTION FOUND THE THROTTLE BODY SEIZED OPEN. THROTTLE BODY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS IF TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY OR AN INEXPERIENCED PERSON WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL. *TR
