2007 Jeep Wrangler 2-Dr 4x4 complaints

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH, AND HIT THE SMALLEST BUMP THE JEEP SHAKE OUT OF CONTROL. HAPPENED 5 TIMES TODAY. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, CAR EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES UNTIL SPEED IS REDUCED TO AROUND 30 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND ALWAYS PLAYS OUT IN THE SAME MANNER. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

WHEN GOING FASTER THAN 50 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR SHAKES AND WOBBLES AND IS NOT CONTROLLABLE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE SPITS FUEL ALL OVER THE OPERATOR WHEN TRYING TO PUMP FUEL IN. *TR

WHEN REFUELING, FUEL SPITS BACK OUT OF TANK. APPROXIMATELY 1-1.5 LITRES, EVERY TIME WHEN TANK IS FILLED. USUALLY COMES OUT WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO COVER MY HANDS, PANTS, AND SHOES WITH GASOLINE. VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE SINCE OCTOBER 2011. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2010. IT HAPPENED ONCE IN 2011, I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS IT HAS STARTED UP AGAIN. I LIVE IN A REMOTE AREA IN ALASKA WHERE THE NEAREST CITY IS 100 MILES, ONLY REACHED BY HIGHWAY. EACH TRIP I WOULD HIT A BUMP AND ALMOST HIT THE GUARD RAIL AT 65 MPH. I STOPPED DRIVING IT UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO ON MY WAY BACK HOME FROM WORK (10 MILES FROM HOME) IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE SPEED OF 35-55. IT WAS COMPLETELY VIOLENT SHAKING WHERE EACH TIME I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL IT. IT ONLY GOT WORSE WITH BRAKING. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. I AM UNABLE TO TAKE IT TO MECHANICS SHOP BECAUSE IT IS 100 MILES AWAY AND I AM NOT PUTTING MY FAMILY OR I AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT ON AN ALASKA HIGHWAY. *JS

MY AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT STAYS ON. *JB

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE OF 16,640 IN 2011 CONFIDENT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE BECAUSE OF THE CAR FAX. THERE WERE NO INCIDENTS REPORTED. I AM SURE THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM AND REPORTED IT. WHAT OTHER REASON WOULD THERE BE FOR SUCH LOW MILEAGE. WHEN WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY A MONTH LATER TO REPORT THE PROBLEM OF THE FRIGHTENING WOBBLE WHEN HITTING SMALL POTHOLE HE SMILED AND SAID "OH YEAH THAT'S THE (DEATH WOBBLE)". AND THEN HE TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEREFORE WE ARE STUCK BECAUSE WE COULD NOT PASS THIS VEHICLE ON IN GOOD CONSCIENCE TO ANYONE AND THAT IS OVER A $20,000 LOSS TO THE CONSUMER. I WANT TO KNOW WHY SOMETHING THAT CAN CAUSE THIS KIND OF ACCIDENT PROMOTING INCIDENT NOT TO BE REPORTED TO THE NEXT PURCHASER OF THAT PARTICULAR VEHICLE OR REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE RESALE. OUR TRIP TO AND FROM HOT SPRINGS NC ON I81 S AND N AT SPEEDS OF 65-70 MPH WAS A HAIR RAISING EXPERIENCE. SURROUNDED BY TRACTOR TRAILERS A CERTAIN DEATH WOULD HAVE COME TO ANYONE WHO WENT INTO A PANIC. I AM OUTRAGED AND DISAPPOINTED BY MY DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER OF THE SUSPENSION IN THIS VEHICLE AS THE SAFETY TESTING HAD TO SHOW A PROBLEM!!!!! I'M SURE THEY REDESIGNED THE STABILIZING SYSTEM IN THE NEXT YEAR OF THIS 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X!!! IT IS THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR AND SHOCK ABSORBING ASSEMBLY SO DO NOT LET THEM TELL YOU ITS ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT! *JS

GAS OVERFLOWS INSTEAD OF STOPPING WHEN FULL. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER FILLING TANK. DEALER WANTED 500.00 TO REPLACE ENTIRE TANK AS THE ANSWER WHEN CLEARLY THE ISSUE IS WITH VENT. GAS SPILLS AROUND VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FUEL FILLER NECK WHEN FILLING TANK COMPLETELY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY VEHICLE, SPILLING FUEL ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, BUMPER AND GROUND. *TR

AFTER DRIVING MY 07 WRANGLER HOME FROM WORK, APPROXIMATELY 35 MINUTES, I PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY AND THE UNDER PART OF MY JEEP CAUGHT ON FIRE AND THEN THE JEEP EXPLODED, CATCHING MY HOUSE ON FIRE. MY DRIVEWAY IS ON AN DOWNWARD INCLINE. *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SINCE 6/2011 THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND AUDIBLE BELL GOES OFF. HAVE DISCUSSED THIS PROBLEM WITH THE LOCAL CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER AND ALSO HAD THEM TRY TO DIAGNOSE VIA COMPUTER. THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE CORRECTLY. LIGHT AND BELL ARE STILL ACTIVATING. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY SPECIFIC CONDITIONS THAT MAKE THIS ALARM GO OFF. *TR

JEEP WRANGLER 2007: FIRST GEAR (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) POPS OUT DURING ACCELERATION. ALL OTHER GEARS (2ND TO 6TH) WORK NORMALLY. *TR

WHEN FUELING THE GAS TANK, THE AUTO-SHUTOFF VALVE AT ANY SERVICE STATION WILL NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME TO PREVENT FUEL SPLASH OUT OF THE FILLER PIPE AND GET ON THE PERSON DOING THE FUELING AND POURS DOWN ON THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT ISOLATED TO JUST A FEW SERVICE STATIONS - IT HAPPENS EACH AND EVERY TIME YOU FILL THIS VEHICLE WITH GAS. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING LIKE CRAZY COULDN'T CONTROL IT ALMOST CAUSED WRECK BETWEEN TWO TRACTOR TRAILERS THOUGHT IT JUST FELL OUT OF GEAR BUT THEN A WEEK LATER IT DID IT AGAIN GOING AROUND A CURVE AND ALMOST WENT OVER A VERY STEEP HILL SIDE TO LATER DO RESEARCH FOUND OUT THAT IT HAS BEEN A ON GOING ISSUE CALLED DEATH WOBBLE SEVERAL THINGS CAUSE IT THAT ARE DEFECTS TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THEY HAVE TO REPLACE DAMPER BRACKET KIT, STEERING DAMPER, DAMPER TIRE ROD, DAMPER BRACKET NUT AND A BOLT ONLY HAD THE JEEP 3 MONTHS THE DEALERSHIP HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT WHICH I WAS TOLD THEY SAY THAT THRU THE ONLINE COMMENTS FROM OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM I PRINTED OUT ALL INFORMATION SO THEY COULD SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON NOW THERE CHARGING ME TO FIX THE PROBLEM TO ALSO FIND OUT THAT THE JEEP NEVER WENT THRU THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT UNTIL I TOOK IT BACK ASKING WHEN THE OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION WAS DO ON IT THERE WASN'T ANY RECORDS IN THERE SYSTEM OF IT BEING THRU THERE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SO THEY JUST PUT ON THE LOT TO SALE BASICALLY SO THEY CHANGED THE OIL THEN AND SERVICED IT NOW IM WITH OUT A VEHICLE FOR 5-6 DAYS WHILE THEY ORDER THE PARTS AND FIX IT I'VE NEVER HAD THIS MUCH TROUBLE OUT OF A VEHICLE PAYING SO MUCH MONEY FOR IT AND 3 MONTHS IN ALREADY HAVING TO FORK OUT MONEY TO HAVE IT SAFE AND DRIVABLE SO FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO HOPEFUL HELP OTHERS IN MY SITUATION ON A SAFETY DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE COMPANY AND NOT THE IND

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR-4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH OVER A SMOOTH SURFACE AND RAILROAD TRACK, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND SWERVED TO THE LEFT. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE DRIVING NORMALLY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000. UPDATED 01/03/12*LJ UPDATED 01/11/12

MY JEEP WRANGLER (2DR, 4X4) WAS IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK. WHEN I STARTED IT AND MOVED THE GEAR SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED VIOLENTLY. WITHIN 2 SECONDS, I WAS SLAMMING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. BY THEN I WAS JAMMING ON THE BRAKES AGAIN, BUT MY CAR STILL FELT LIKE IT WAS INCREASING IN SPEED--THROTTLE WIDE OPEN! WHEN I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, MY JEEP PUSHED IT ABOUT 15 FEET UP OVER A CURB TIL IT FINALLY HIT ANOTHER CAR AND STOPPED. ITS BACK TIRES WERE ABOUT 10 INCHES DEEP INTO THE DIRT AND JAMMED UP AGAINST ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY JEEP WAS STILL GOING, AND CLIMBED UP ACROSS HIS HOOD AND OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE, COMING TO REST UPRIGHT. MY JEEP LEFT TIRE MARKS ON THE PAVEMENT AS I TRIED TO STOP IT. THE CAR I HIT, A 2009 VOLKSWAGEN, WAS DESTROYED--TOTALED. OVER $20,000 DAMAGE ON THAT CAR ALONE. THERE WAS OVER $7000 DAMAGE TO MY JEEP. THE 3RD VEHICLE HAD DAMAGE AS WELL. THE ENTIRE INCIDENT TOOK LESS THAN 5 SECONDS---THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY PEOPLE WHO HEARD THE SOUNDS OF THE ENGINE SCREAMING AND THE CRASH ITSELF. MY TOES AND THE BALL OF MY FOOT HURT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS FROM JAMMING ON THE BRAKE, BUT MY JEEP DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO STOP BEFORE IT WAS HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR I HIT SLOWED ME DOWN, AND PROBABLY SAVED ME. I HAVE SOME MINOR WHIPLASH AND HAD A TERRIBLE HEADACHE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, BUT OTHERWISE NO ONE WAS INJURED--COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IF THAT CAR WASN'T IN FRONT OF ME TO STOP ME, BECAUSE I WAS GOING SO FAST. COULD HAVE KILLED

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IF I TURN OFF MOTOR, THEN RESTART, AIRBAG LIGHT WILL BE OFF AND AFTER A SHORT TIME LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I AM SURE IT IS A DEFECTIVE CLOCKSPRING. *TR

EACH AND EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK THE PUMP WILL CEASE THE FLOW OF GAS FROM THE NOZZLE AND LARGE QUANTITIES OF GASOLINE WILL BACKWASH/OVERFLOW FROM THE TANK. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR OWNERS OF JEEPS WITH THIS ISSUE. GOD FORBID IF SOMEONE IS SMOKING AROUND THE AREA. AS SILLY AS THAT IDEA MAY BE REMEMBER WHO SUED MCDONALDS CORP. FOR SPILLING HOT COFFEE ON THEMSELVES AND WON MILLIONS! JUST BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU THE COFFEE WASN'T HOT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT COMMON SENSE JUST AS IS GASOLINE SPILLING VIOLENTLY FROM YOUR VEHICLES GAS TANK IS VERY DANGEROUS WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE LARGE AMOUNTS OF PROPERTY DAMAGE AND LOSS OF LIFE. THE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND MODIFIED OR REPLACED. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER X "DEATH WOBBLE". AT AROUND 45000 MILES, MY JEEP FRONT END STARTED TO OCCASIONALLY WOBBLE (SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY) AT 50-60MPH. THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE AND THE VEHICLE IS NOW UNSAFE TO DRIVE ABOVE 45MPH DUE TO THE WOBBLE THAT WILL YANK THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF YOUR HANDS AND SHAKE THE VEHICLE ALL OVER THE ROAD. JEEP HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE VEHICLE BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE MAKING THE VEHICLE BASICALLY UNUSABLE AND DANGEROUS. A GOOGLE SEARCH OF THIS PROBLEM REVEALS THAT IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE WRANGLER AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS WOBBLE ON THE WRANGLER ON YOUTUBE, OR BETTER YET, DRIVE ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE NO DOUBT YOU WILL AGREE THAT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED ON MANY OCCASIONS, SOMETHING CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE." WHEN DRIVING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 40MPH & 65MPH, IF I HIT A POT-HOLE (ESPECIALLY ON A CURVE), THE FRONT-END OF MY JEEP STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IN A FEW INSTANCES, I WAS ON A HIGHWAY THAT DID NOT HAVE A SHOULDER AND I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WHO ALSO DRIVE JEEP WRANGLERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE MADE FROM 2005-2008. WHEN I ORIGINALLY COMPLAINED TO JEEP/CHRYSLER, I WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY INSISTED I JUST NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT AND NEW TIRES. THIS ONLY MASKED THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW MONTHS UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. BY THE TIME I WENT BACK TO JEEP, I WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THEREFORE, COULD NOT FILE A COMPLAINT UNDER THE LEMON LAW. THIS HAS GIVEN ME ANXIETY TO THE POINT WHERE I NOW HAVE AN ULCER FROM HAVING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY TO WORK 25 MILES EACH WAY. PLEASE HELP, BEFORE I OR OTHERS DIE FROM THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHEN FILLING GAS, GAS BLOWS BACK ONTO PERSON FILLING AND DRAINING DOWN VEHICLE. TOLD THERE WAS EXTENDED RECALL, BUT NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM MANUFACTURER. TOLD TO SUBMIT ISSUE TO GOV.'T. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR LETTER, BUT NEVER RECEIVED ANY FOR THIS, HOWEVER RECEIVED OTHERS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON NEW. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, I DISCOVERED THAT GASOLINE WOULD FREQUENTLY OVERFLOW THE FILLER PORT WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. FOR SOME REASON, ONCE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, FUEL OVERFLOWS THE PORT AND FLOWS OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. *KB

2007 JEEP WRANGLER/ LESS THAN 18 K MILES: HIT MINOR BUMP AT APPROX 40 MILES/ HR, FRONT END BEGAN VIOLENT WOBBLING AND I COULD NOT STOP THE WOBBLE UNTIL I FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THIS SITUATION DID NOT RESULT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS WAS THE 1ST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME, JUST PURCHASED 2 MONTHS AGO. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX PROBLEM. DID RESEARCH AND I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 45 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS; EVER. *TR

IN 208 I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER, WITH 11,000 MILES, AFTER DRIVING ONLY 1,000. MILES MY FRONT END STARTING WOBBLING VIOLENTLY, RETURNED TO DEALER AND THEY STATED MY TIRES NEEDED TO BE ROAD FORCED BALANCE, WITHIN 3 MONTHS WHILE DRIVING TO WORK GOING ABOUT 45MPH THE TRUCK FRONT END DID THE KNOW DEATH WOBBLE, RETURNED TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD MY TIRES WERE CUPPED, PURCHASED NEW TIRES, SEEM TO ELEVATE THE PROBLEM, ONLY FOR IT TO HAPPEN SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND TWO ADDITIONAL SET OF TIRES. I AM NOW DRIVING ON A SET OF TIRES THAT IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, WAS ON THE INTERSTATE LAST WEEK DRIVING ABOUT 70MPH WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE MY FRONT END STARTED TO WOBBLE OUT OF CONTROL, I DID MANAGE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH BUT WAS SHIFTED INTO ANOTHER LANE, COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING, WAS LUCKY THE INTERSTATE WAS NOT BUSY, THIS COULD OF RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED ON THE SUSPENSION, THE 2010-2011 JEEPS HAVE HAD ONE SO OBVIOUSLY CHRYSLER IS AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT END SUSPENSION. THIS WILL BE A COSTLY REPAIR,SO MANY DIFFERENT POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS BUT NONE ARE A GUARANTEE, SEEM TO ME CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY DESIGN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

WHENEVER I PUT GAS INTO MY TANK AND FILL UP, THERE IS ALWAYS AN OVERFLOW OF GASOLINE SPILLING OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO MY JEEP AS WELL AS ONTO THE FLOOR. ASIDE FROM THE DAMAGE BEING DONE TO MY VEHICLE, THIS CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT FROM FUMES AS WELL AS RAISING THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRES. *KB

I HAVE A 2007 WRANGLER X WITH 37K ON IT, AND FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT HAS ILLUMUNATED AND IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE STILL UNDER WARRENTY AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIX IT OR EVEN MENTION THAT IT EXISTED, A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT ONLY THAT BUT ALSO THE CRUIZ CONTROL AND HORN DO NOT WORK EITHER. CAN YOU SAY CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ADJUST ACCORDINGLY WITH THE FAULTY CLOCKSPRING DEAL? THIS IS REDICULOUS AND I CAN NOT AFFORD 500 BUCKS TO THROW INTO FAULTY PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. WHERE IS CHRYSLER??? ARE YOU LISTENING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS? NO. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY JEEP WRANGLER WITH GAS AS SOON AS THE GAS PUMP STOPS PUMPING IT SPITS FUEL BACK OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL GAS STATIONS AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. *TT

UPON DRIVING OVER AN UNEVEN AREA OF PAVEMENT (I.E. TRAIN TRACKS, EXPANSION JOINT, ETC.) STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT WHEELS SHAKE VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH. FIRST OCCURRENCE IN MARCH 2009 AT 24,575 MILES, DEALER DETERMINED IT WAS THE STEERING DAMPENER, REPLACED. SECOND OCCURRENCE IN SEPTEMBER 2010 AT 27,929 MILES, DEALER REPLACED THE DAMPENER AND UPDATED MOUNTING BRACKET. THIRD OCCURRENCE APRIL 2011 AT 33,845 MILES (ONLY 5,916 MILES ON SECOND REPLACEMENT). DEALER REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WAS OVER THE 12 MONTH PART WARRANTY. CONTACTED CHRYSLER COMPLAINT RESOLUTION, SAME ANSWER. THEY STATED THEY CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO SAID THEY REFUSED REPAIR DUE TO "EXCESSIVE OFF-ROAD USAGE". VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN USED OFF ROAD SINCE THE SECOND REPLACEMENT AND THE DEALER HAS NOT SEEN THE VEHICLE SINCE THEN. *TR

WHILE TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X (WITH 55000 MILES) "CHIMED" AND THE AIR-BAG , TRACTION CONTROL, AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP. UPON INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT THIS LEAVES THE SAFETY SYSTEMS INACTIVE! A BAD "CLOCK SPRING" IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS HE CAUSE OF ALL THE SYSTEM FAILURES. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD STILL BE COVERED BY JEEP/CHRYSLER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN OR ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR

IN THE LAST MONTH I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH GAS OVERFLOWING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER AFTER THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF. THE GAS COMES OUT AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED DURING 3 OUT OF 4 FILL-UPS IN THE LAST MONTH. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING YET TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. *TR

ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER MY CLOCKSPRING WENT OUT AND POSED A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MY SAFETY. WITH THE CLOCKSPRING OUT OF COMMISSION MY AIRBAGS WOULD NO LONGER DEPLOY. WHEN I WENT INTO MY LOCAL DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED AND ASKED IF IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE SERVICEMAN TOLD ME IT WOULDN'T BECAUSE HE SAID IT WAS A WIRING PROGRAM AND THAT MY WARRANTY DID NOT COVER WIRES. I TOLD HIM THAT THE CLOCKSPRING WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE END RESULT WAS THAT I HAD TO PAY $437. *TR

KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVEN. IT WOULD COME AND GO, MECHANIC CHECKED FOR THE OBVIOUS LOSS PARTS (MUFFLER, SHOCKS, ETC...). THE NEXT DAY WHEN THE NOISE REAPPEARED, THE MECHANIC HAS DRIVEN LESS THAN A QUARTER MILE WHEN THE ENGINE SEIZED. MECHANIC DROPPED THE OIL PAN AND FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL AND THE BEARING HAD SPUN. CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE MECHANICS WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH HAVE RELATED THAT THE NEW 07 3.0 LITER ENGINE WAS FOUND TO HAVE ISSUES THAT LEAD TO THIS SPUN BEARING. REPAIRS AND PARTS ARE WELL OVER $8000. *TR

CLOCK SPRING PREMATURE FAILURE. CAUSES HORN TO NOT WORK AND AIR BAGS LIKELY WON'T FUNCTION EITHER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD CEASE ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS DECELERATED TO 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADJUSTED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SECOND DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO A COMBINATION OF A DEFECT IN THE STEERING DAMPENER, TIRE WEAR AND AN ALIGNMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED UT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,106.

2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR. 4X4..APPROX MILEAGE 65,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING A SPEED OF 50-55 MPH THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS A BUMP IN THE ROAD, OR AN UNEVEN SPOT, A VIOLENT SHAKING BEGINS AND IS UNCORRECTABLE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO A NEAR COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALERSHIP CALLS THIS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS HAS GONE ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 YEARS WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD DRIVING ANYWHERE FROM 35 MPH AND OVER. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS THE WORST, IT HAPPENED AT A HIGHER SPEED (APPROX. 65 MPH) AND RESULTED IN A NEAR COLLISION/ROLLOVER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHYSLER JEEP ASAP. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND POTENTIAL LOSS OF LIFE ISSUE.

THE JEEP WRANGLER JK SERIES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS HAVE IN INNER SHIFT BOOT THAT BECOMES DISLODGED AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO POP OUT OF GEAR. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. MY JEEP WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER 2 MONTHS. OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS REPORT THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT SUDDENLY LOSS COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL AND MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT RESUMED WITH CAUTION TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE; AND INFORMED HER THAT THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AXLE DETACHED FROM THE FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF A COMPLETELY STOCK 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH ABOUT 56,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS ISSUE CAN OCCUR FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND IS RELATED TO SOME SORT OF HARMONIC IMBALANCE WITH THE FRONT AXLE ASSEMBLY. RECOMMENDED "SOLUTIONS" INCLUDE REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING STABILIZER, CHECKING FOR SLOP IN THE TRACK BAR MOUNTING POINTS, INCLUDING THE BUSHING ON THE TRACK BAR ITSELF, BAD BALL JOINTS AND FINALLY TIRE "CUPPING" OR IMBALANCE. THE ISSUE HAPPENED WHILE DE-ACCELERATING FROM 70 TO 55 M.P.H. AND CHANGING FROM THE MIDDLE TO RIGHT-HAND LANE ON WESTBOUND I-94 IN ST. CLAIR SHORES, MI. IN ADDITION TO THE LANE CHANGE AND DE-ACCELERATION, I WAS ALSO ENGAGED IN A SWEEPING LEFT-HAND TURN PRIOR TO MY EXIT FROM THE FREEWAY AT EXIT 225. THIS SITUATION IS NOT ONLY UNACCEPTABLE BUT UNSAFE FOR ANY DRIVER OF THIS OR ANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLER. I UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES OF SECURING A LIVE AXLE TO A VEHICLE WITH THE SUSPENSION TRAVEL THAT JEEP OWNERS EXPECT OF THEIR VEHICLES, BUT FOR THIS TO OCCUR ON A SMOOTH HIGHWAY IS SCARY. MY WIFE WAS IN THE VEHICLE, AND NOW FLATLY REFUSES TO RIDE OR DRIVE IN THE VEHICLE, AND HAS FORBIDDEN MY CHILDREN TO RIDE IN IT AS WELL. *TR

I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. IT HAS BEGUN TO EXPERIENCE WHAT IS KNOWN ON USER FORUMS AS A DEATH WOBBLE. WHEN DRIVING AT 40MPH + SPEEDS, IF THE TIRES HIT A FAIRLY LARGE BUMP, THE ENTIRE FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY, CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO WHIP LEFT AND RIGHT. BECAUSE OF THE SHAKING, SHUDDERING AND WHIPPING OF THE STEERING WHEEL, LOSS OF CONTROL BECOMES IMMINENT AND SUDDEN BRAKING IS THE ONLY OPTION LEFT TO THE DRIVER ATTEMPTING TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES DESPITE REPEATED INSPECTIONS. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP MY 2007 JEEP RUBICON, AFTER THE PUMP HANDLE "CLICKS" OFF FUEL WILL SPILL OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. IT HAPPENS ANYTIME FROM IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PUMP STOPS TO UP TO 5 SECONDS AFTER. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF THE TIME NO MATTER WHAT STATION I USE OF THE PRAND OF FUEL THAT IS PUT INTO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED THE JEEP FOR APPROX. 1 YEAR AND HAS DONE THIS SINCE THE WEEK I'VE OWNED IT. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 20K MILES ON IT. *TR

VEHICLE SPITS OUT FUEL IF YOU ALLOW THE AUTO SHUT OFF TO RUN FROM THE PUMP. IF I FILL UP MY TANK UNTIL THE PUMP SHUTS OFF IT WILL OVERFLOW ABOUT A QUART OF FUEL ON THE FLOOR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID IT DID NOT HAPPEN FOR THEM. I HAVE RECORDED THE NEXT THREE FILL UPS AND IT DID IT EVERY TIME. MY VEHICLE IS A 2007 BUT WAS BUILT IN 10/2006. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM ON SIMILAR VEHICLES BUILT AFTER 03/2007. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER CONSTANTLY LIGHTS UP AND CHIMES ABOUT EVERY 20-30 SECONDS. THERE WASN'T AN INCIDENT THAT CAUSED THIS TO START HAPPENING, IT JUST STARTED DOING IT ONE DAY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHICH, I ALSO BELIEVE WILL PREVENT THE DRIVER AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING, AS OF YET, TO GET THIS REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN HOPING THERE WOULD BE A RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM SEEING THAT MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR DEVELOPED A VIOLENT SHAKE WHEN I WOULD HIT A BUMP OR GO OVER RAILROAD TRACKS AT SPEEDS AROUND 15 MPH TO 25 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK LEFT AND RIGHT, ALMOST TO THE POINT THAT I COULD NOT MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL OR THE VEHICLE. I COULD FEEL THE FRONT WHEEL SHAKING BACK AND FORTH. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT WOULD BE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER A GREAT DEAL OF DIAGNOSING THIS ISSUE, I REMOVED THE FRONT TRACTION BAR AND NOTICED THAT THE BOLT HOLES ON BOTH THE FRAME AND AXLE BRACKETS THAT SECURE THE TRACTION BAR HAD BECOME ELONGATED. DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUT OF WARRANTY, I TOOK IT TO A WELDING SHOP. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE TO WELD A HEAVY DUTY WASHER ON BOTH SIDES OF EACH MOUNTING BRACKET TO SECURE THE MOUNTING BOLTS. THE WELDING SHOP ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE A PERMANENT FIX, BUT MAY LAST FOR A WHILE. THEY ALSO INFORMED MY THAT THE METAL BRACKETS APPEARED TO BE MADE OF WEAK METAL AND THE BOLTS ARE GRADE 8. THEY SAID THIS EXPLAINS THAT THE BRACKET IS WEAKER THAN THE BOLT AND THAT IS WHY THE BRACKETS GAVE WAY. AFTER THE WASHERS WERE WELDED ON THE BRACKETS, THE SHAKING HAS GONE AND HAS NOT RETURNED. I HAVE READ ON JK-FORUM.COM OF MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH A MANUAL 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION. WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP 1ST GEAR WILL DISENGAGE (POP-OUT) TRANSMISSION WHEN THE CLUTCH IS RELEASED. DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERYTIME BUT OCCASIONALLY, WITH NO WARNING, OFTEN LEAVING ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC UNABLE TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT HAVING TO RE-ENGAGE 1ST GEAR OR GOING DIRECTLY TO 2ND GEAR. *TR

EVERY TIME I FUEL UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X, THE GAS OVERFLOWS. THIS HAS CAUSED THE GAS TO SPILL ONTO THE GROUND AND OR ONTO MY FEET. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS PROBLEM IS QUITE PREVALENT WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND PURCHASED IT IN FEB. OF 2010. IT HAS OCCURRED EVER SINCE I FIRST FUELED IT. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SPITS BACK FUEL WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE JEEP. I HAVE HAD THE FUEL TANK, O-RING, FUEL PUMP AND LEVEL UNIT REPLACED. *TR

PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. GAS WILL SPILL OUT WHEN FILLING UP. PUMP NOZZLE WILL RELEASE/POP AFTER GAS IS ALREADY OVER FLOWED AND ON THE GROUND. *TR

EVERYTIME I FILL UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AT THE GAS STATION, IT OVERFLOWS ABOUT 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. I HAVE TRIED USING DIFFERENT PUMP STATIONS, BUT NOTHING STOPS IT FROM OVERFLOWING. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER X WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, IT FLOWS BACK, ALMOST A 1/4 OF A GALLON OF GAS. *TR
