2007 Jeep Wrangler 2-Dr 4x4 complaints

FACTORY RADIO IN 2007 JEEP WRANGLER BEGAN OVERHEATING DURING THE SUMMER OF 2009. OVERHEATING WAS CAUSING EXTREMELY LOUD POPPING NOISE TO BE BROADCAST OVER ALL SPEAKERS IN VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AND INSPECTED, RADIO WAS REPLACED. PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE FIXED HOWEVER; THE WEATHER TEMPERATURE HAD COOLED BY THAT TIME SO IT WAS UNCLEAR AS TO WHETHER THE SITUATION HAD BEEN ALLEVIATED. IN OCTOBER 2009 THE PROBLEM BEGAN OCCURRING ONCE AGAIN, THIS TIME WHEN THE DEFROST AND HEAT WAS TURNED ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AGAIN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE HEAT FROM THE DEFROST AND THE HEATER WAS CAUSING THE RADIO TO BECOME EXTREMELY HOT. THE POPPING NOISE WAS DUE TO THIS OVERHEATING PROCESS THAT WAS OCCURRING. CHRYSLER CORPORATION WAS NOTIFIED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED HOWEVER THEY STATE THAT THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION AT PRESENT AND THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ENOUGH INSTANCES TO WARRANT A RECALL. THEY HAVE OFFERED NO REMEDIES OTHER THAN EMPTY APOLOGIES. WE ARE AFRAID TO TURN ON THE RADIO IN THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL CAUSE A FIRE. THE DEALER STATES THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN. FURTHERMORE THE POPPING POSES A HAZARD IF IT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AS IT IS SO SUDDEN AND SO INCREDIBLY LOUD. *TR

VEHICLE FAILED TO SHUT OFF FUEL PUMP DURING REFUELING OPERATION WHEN TANK BECAME FULL, ALLOWING FUEL TO OVERFLOW ONTO THE SIDE OF THE JEEP, AND ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

GAS GUSHES OUT OF FILLER TUBE WHEN DONE FILLING TANK. *TR

AFTER THE FUEL PUMP AT A GASOLINE STATION SHUTS OFF INDICATING MY GAS TANK IS FULL, GASOLINE SPEWS BACK OUT OF THE TANK THROUGH THE OPENING WHERE THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE IS INSERTED ONCE THE NOZZLE IS PULLED OUT AFTER FUELING. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLED IS SIGNIFICANT. I BELIEVE IT COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO MY PAINT AND PLASTIC PIECES ON MY VEHICLE AND IS ALSO A FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF CONTINUING TO PUMP FUEL WHILE REMOVING THE NOZZLE. THE FLOW OF FUEL THROUGH THE NOZZLE HAS STOPPED BUT PRESSURE FROM INSIDE THE TANK FORCES FUEL OUT WHEN THE GAS NOZZLE IS REMOVED. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS AND DID NOT OCCUR EARLIER IN THE VEHICLE'S HISTORY AND DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN I AM FUELING OTHER VEHICLES. *TR

WHEN FUELING MY JEEP WRANGLER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF THEN SPRAYS GASOLINE. WE HAVE TWO SIMILAR JEEPS (2007, 2010) AND THEY BOTH DO IT. *TR

IN THE PAST MONTH THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN TO "SPIT UP" GASOLINE WHEN FILLING UP AT THE SERVICE STATION. WHENEVER I FILL THE TANK TO FULL AND THE FILL NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY CUTS OFF, A GOOD AMOUNT OF GASOLINE COMES UP THROUGH THE FILLER NECK SPILLING OUT ONTO THE GROUND. VARIOUS JEEP OWNERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE POSTED IT ON THE NET THOSE THAT HAVE SOUGHT TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REMEDIED HAVE USUALLY HAD A NEW TANK INSTALLED AND/OR SOME SORT OF EMISSIONS VALVE REPLACED. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND MY DEALER WILL NOT EVEN LOOK AT IT WITHOUT ME PAYING A 'DIAGNOSIS' FEE. FURTHERMORE I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY FOR A NEW GASOLINE TANK ON A VEHICLE THAT'S ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS 27,300 MILES! I HAVE RESORTED TO ONLY FILLING MY TANK 3/4 OF THE WAY. I FEEL THIS PRESENTS VARIOUS SAFETY ISSUES SINCE THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPILLAGE PRESENTING A DANGEROUS SITUATION AT THE PUMP. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER X OVERFLOWS AT THE GAS PUMP EVEN AFTER THE PUMP 'CLICKS'. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. PUMP SHOULD SHUT OFF AT AROUND 18 GALLONS WHEN THE CLICK OCCURS BUT FOR SOME REASON THE CLICK SOUNDS GOES OFF AND GAS BEGINS TO OVERFLOW OUT OF THE JEEP. GAS SPILLS ALL OVER THE JEEP, THE GROUND, AND ME. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE FAILURE AS I AM UNSURE TO WHAT THE ISSUE IS/WHAT THE DEALER WILL DO. PLANNING ON TAKING IT IN TO THE DEALER AFTER CHRISTMAS. *TR

GAS TANK OVERFLOWS AND SHOOTS GAS OUT ON THE JEEP AND MYSELF EVERYTIME I FILL UP. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER, GAS WILL OVERFLOW ONTO THE JEEP, THE GROUND AND MYSELF. HAPPENS EVERYTIME I TRY TO FILL TANK. THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY HAZARD AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. *TR

WHEN I GO TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK. THIS IS WITHOUT EVEN TOPING IT OFF MYSELF. THIS HAPPENS WHEN YOU FILL UP TILL IT CLICKS. AND NO FURTHER. I FILL MY TANK WITH FUEL AND IT OVERFLOWS CAUSING FUEL TO SPILL ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND AT THE GAS STATION. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK. *TR

WHEN I USE AUTO FILL ON MY VEHICLE, IT OVERFLOWS AS IT STOPS PUMPING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY TIME I FILL UP (LAST COUPLE TIMES). *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X AND IT SEEMS EVERY OTHER TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK THE TANK WILL OVER FILL AND FUEL WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK. IT IS NOT JUST A SLOW OVER FLOW IT IS LITERALLY A SPRAY OF GASOLINE COMING OUT. I TALKED TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HEARD THIS FROM MANY OTHER OWNERS BUT DO NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY JEEP. I HAVE TRIED MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND I GET THE SAME RESULT EVERYWHERE I GO. SO IT WOULD SEEM THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP AND NOT THE PUMP. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER "X" -- DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 50MPH, HIT A BUMP AND THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND WON'T STOP UNTIL YOU SLOW DOWN TO ABOUT 10MPH. THIS HAS OCCURRED A NUMBER OF TIMES. IT IS ON ITS SECOND VISIT TO THE DEALER ON THIS ISSUE, I DID WEB SEARCHES ON THE ISSUE AND SAW NUMEROUS COMMENTS OF THE "DEATH WOBBLE" I FIRMLY BELIEVE I EXPERIENCED WHAT I SEE ON THE WEB. I WOULD RETURN THE VEHICLE AND ASK FOR MY MONEY BACK.... THIS ISN'T A LAUGHING ISSUE. CHRYSLER MUST HAVE A PERMANANT FIX FOR SUCH AN ISSUE OR THE PUBLIC IS AT RISK. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH GAS AT A GAS STATION, THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF TRIGGERS TOO LATE AND GAS SPEWS OUT OF THE FILL TUBE. USUALLY ENOUGH SPILLS TO LEAVE A 1-2 FT^2 PUDDLE ON THE GROUND. I'VE TRIED MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS ALL WITH EXACTLY THE SAME RESULT.*TR

FUEL OVERFILLS FROM FILLER NECK WHEN FILLING AT GAS STATION. I'VE TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS TO GET IT TO NOT OVERFILL, BUT IT DOESN'T. AND NOW I'VE READ THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

FUEL BLOWS OUT OF TANK AFTER FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF. I'VE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND PUMPS BUT IT DOES IT EVERY TIME. *TR

FUEL SPRAYS FROM THE FILLER NECK WHILE REFUELING. PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS. OCCURRED AT EVERY STATION I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REFUEL. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF GAS TANK NOZZLE WHEN FILLING UP. *TR

DEATH WOBBLE ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. MY WIFE AND I HIT A BUMP ON THE HIGHWAY THE THING STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OTHER TIMES SINCE. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. *TR

DRIVING TO WORK ON A COLD SNOWY DAY FROM HUNTINGTON, NY TO ST. JAMES, NY. AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE LIGHTS FLASHED ON, CAR SEEMED TO HAVE LESS PICK UP, RADIO WENT OFF. MINUTES LATER, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND GAS GAVE IT NO POWER. LOST POWER IN STEERING AND BRAKES AS WELL. DRIFTED INTO A SNOWBANK ON THE SIDE OF EDGEWOOD AVE. IN SMITHTOWN, NY NEXT TO A BUSY SCHOOL DRIVEWAY. WOULD NOT RESTART. WHEN TOW TRUCK ARRIVED STILL WOULD NOT START. AFTER THREE DAYS, DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT BASED ON THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE, THEY WOULD REPLACE THE WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE. PART WAS ON BACKORDER FOR 2+ WEEKS. *TR

DRIVING TO ST. JAMES, NY AFTER A WEEKEND IN NJ IN SNOWY AND COLD CONDITIONS WITH NEW PUPPY. AT 7:00AM, ABOUT ONE HOUR INTO THE DRIVE, WHILE ON LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY, RADIO WENT OFF, LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF, CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND LOSE POWER. I PULLED OFF THE NEAREST EXIT AND IT STALLED AS I COASTED INTO A GAS STATION. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED AGAIN, AND I TRIED TO DRIVE IT TO THE HUNTINGTON SERVICE CENTER ABOUT 8 MILES AWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE OVER 25 MPH, AND AFTER ABOUT TWO MILES BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT, PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TRIED REVVING THE ENGINE. NOTHING CHANGED AND THE CAR STALLED. I WAITED IN THE COLD AND SNOW FOR AAA TO TOW ME TO THE HUNTINGTON SERVICE CENTER. SERVICE CENTER COMMUNICATED TO ME THAT THE CAR HAD NOTHING WRONG WITH IT BASED ON THE COMPUTER CHECK. THAT A TECHNICIAN WOULD TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH ME. THE PROBLEM DIDN?T HAPPEN ON THE TEST DRIVE. UPON RETURN TO THE SERVICE CENTER, I INSISTED THAT THEY CONTINUE TO SEARCH FOR THE PROBLEM ON THE GROUNDS THAT MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED IN AFTER LOSING CONTROL ON THE HIGHWAY. SERVICE MANAGER REFUSED. I ASKED HIM TO EXPLAIN CHRYSLER?S RESPONSIBILITY IN THE MATTER AND HE SAID IN AN UNKIND TONE THAT I COULD GO TO ARBITRATION BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD HAVE TO OCCUR IN FRONT OF THE ARBITRATOR, SO IT PROBABLY WOULDN?T WORK IN MY FAVOR. RETURNED TO SERVICE CENTER AT 29,308 MILES BECAUSE THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. INSISTED

DRIVING TO WORK FROM HOBOKEN, NJ TO MONTCLAIR, NJ ON AN 11 DEGREE DAY. DROVE 40 MINUTES, SOME ON HIGHWAY. WHILE ON HIGHWAY, THE RADIO WENT OFF LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF. APPROXIMATELY ONE MILE FROM WORK, ALL LIGHTS FLASHED ON, CAR BEGAN SHAKING, THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES STOPPED WORKING AND THEN THE CAR STALLED. WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. CALLED AAA. WAITED IN COLD FOR 1.5 HOURS. WHEN TOW TRUCK ARRIVED, CAR STARTED AGAIN. DROVE TO DEALERSHIP IN VERONA, NJ. VERONA DEALERSHIP HOOKED CAR UP TO COMPUTER AND STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. RETURNED TO ME WITH NO REPAIRS MADE. BROUGHT CAR TO MANHATTAN SERVICE CENTER AT 4, 256 MILES FOR THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE CENTER FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT PERFORMED A RECALL #G40. TOLD ME IT SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THE POWER FAILURE AND STALL. *TR

STARTING WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE 2007 JEEP IN MAY 2007 WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. LEAKY ROOF, ELECTRICAL STALL ISSUE (STILL NOT FIXED AFTER MULTIPLE RECALLS), ELECTRONIC STABILITY DEATH WOBBLE, ETC. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 WRANGLER JK FROM HERTERICH FOOD/JEEP IN DOVER , DE . IT WAS BRAND NEW, AND A FEW DAYS AFTER BUYING IT, IT HAD RAINED AND MY SOFT TOP LEAKED FROM THE FORWARD LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES OF THE SOFT TOP RIGHT AT THE CORNERS OF WHERE IT MEETS THE WINDSHIELD. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED TWICE AND STILL THE SAME RESULT. IT ALWAYS LEAKS REGARDLESS OF WHAT RAIN CONDITION. NOTE THIS WAS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT I BOUGHT. AND IF IT CONTINUES IT IM AFRAID IT WILL CAUSE WATER DAMAGE THAT IS IRREVERSIBLE TO MY INTERIOR. *TR

THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAS FAILED 4 TIMES. THE VEHICLE IS NOW 21 MONTHS OLD WITH 19,000 MILES. THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD AS I WAS IN PHILADELPHIA TWICE WHEN IT FAILED ON A WEEKEND AND HAD TO TRAVEL OVER 100 MILES TO GET THE JEEP HOME. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET HURT OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IF THIS HAPPENED TO A WOMEN I HATE TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN SINCE IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. *TR

IN JULY OF 2008 I EXPERIENCED WHAT JEEP OWNERS ARE CALLING "THE DEATH WOBBLE" IN MY 2007 WRANGLER. WHILE PASSING A CAR I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD AND MY WHOLE FRONT END OF MY JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE JEEP WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER(COVERED UNDER WARRANTY). ON FEB 9TH 2009 WHILE DRIVING SOUTH ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 TO 70 MPH I AGAIN HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF GEAR AND CAME TO A SLOW STOP. THEN I NOTICED A STATE TROOPER BEHIND ME. WHEN I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET TO THE SHOULDER HE EXITED HIS VEHICLE AND APPROACH MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND ASKED IF I WAS OK AND STATED THAT HE NEVER HAD SEEN A VEHICLE EVER ACT LIKE THAT, THAT HE THOUGHT THE WHEELS WERE GOING TO FALL OFF. THE TROOPER COULD SEE THAT I WAS VISIBLY SHAKING AND SCARED. I DECLINED TO MAKE A REPORT WHICH I REGRET DOING. AT 65-70MPH I COULD NOT CONTROL MY VEHICLE. I CALL THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULED AND APPOINTMENT FOR MY JEEP ON FEB 18TH 2009 AS THAT WAS THE EARLIEST TIME THEY COULD GET ME IN. THE DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO REPLACE THE STEERING DAMPER AGAIN. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ JUST ON THE NHTSA WEB SITE THIS IS A PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER CORP DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT..DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE THIS AUTO CORP. REALIZES THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!!!! *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR. 4X4..APPROX MILEAGE 27,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING A RELATIVELY LOW SPEED (30 -45 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 6 MONTHS TIME. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS THE WORST, IT HAPPENED AT A HIGHER SPEED (APPROX. 50 MPH) AND RESULTED IN A NEAR COLLISION/ROLLOVER. SAME HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IS PENDING. *TR

SOFT TOP AND HARD TOPS BOTH LEAK IN HEAVY RAINS OR AT THE CAR WASH. LEAK IS FROM THE A-PILLAR AREA ABOVE THE DOORS. MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES TO HAVE THE LEAK ADDRESSED. THE DEALERSHIP THEN HAD MY WARRANTY VOIDED BECAUSE MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER HAD "SIGNS" THAT IT HAD BEEN "OFFROAD." *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER THAT LEAKS.ALOT. I HAVE HAD IT IN 8 TIMES FOR REPAIRS AND IT ALWAYS STILL LEAKS. THEY HAVE TRIED LITTLE FOAM STRIPS AND EVAN A NEW TOP ALL TO NO AVAIL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING NORTH AT 65MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A THREE LANE (NORTHBOUND)FREEWAY, A SMALL BUMP WAS ENCOUNTERED AND THE STEERING COLUMN SHOOK VIOLENTLY UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP, STILL IN THE MIDDLE LANE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A STEERING DAMPER PROBLEM ( A KNOWN "TECHNICAL RECALL") AND A "WEAK DAMPER" (PART # 02152001) WAS REPLACED WITH A "HEAVY-DUTY" STEERING DAMPER (PART # 52060058AE). THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TODAY AND DRIVEN WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT/INJURY BUT DID NOT. THE DRIVER IS NOT AWARE THAT JEEP HAS EVERY ISSUED A RECALL CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TRANSMISSION OVER HEATED AND PURGED FLUID ON TO HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD/CAT CONVERTER. JEEP DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE BUT WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO CAUSE ALARM IT WAS SEVERELY SMOKING ENOUGH TO ALERT OTHERS DRIVERS WHO WAVED ME OVER. ITS BEEN HAVING SHIFT PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN 07/07, INCLUDING SEVER SHUDDERING BETWEEN 1-2 SHIFTS AND NOT DOWNSHIFTING UNLESS HOLDING THE THROTTLE DOWN FOR 2-4 SECONDS MAKING IT REALLY HARD TO KEEP UP IN REGULAR TRAFFIC. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 6,200. LOCAL DEALER KEEPS FLASHING THE COMPUTER WITH SOFTWARE UPGRADES BUT NOTHING IMPROVES CONDITIONS. CURRENT WORD FROM DEALER IS THAT "CONDITION COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED / NO 'CODES' STORED". *TR

VEHICLE: 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DOOR 4X4. THE VEHICLE VIBRATION (FRONT END(?)) HAS EXISTED SINCE PURCHASED IN MARCH 2007 AND WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP AT FIRST SERVICE AND SUBSAQUENT SERVICES. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE DEVELOPES A VIBRATION BEGINNING AT 60 MPH THROUGH 65 MPH AND ENDING AT 70 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPEATEDLY BALANCED ALL THE TIRES AND STATES THEY ARE WITHIN TOLERANCE. IN JUNE 2008 THE CHRYSLER AREA REPRESENTATIVE CAME AND TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR TEST DRIVES AS WELL AS OTHER LIKE VEHICLES OFF THE LOT. ALL TESTED HAD VIBRATIONS AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME SPEEDS. IN JULY 2008 CHRYSLER SENT A SUPER TECH. WHO ALSO TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A TEST DRIVE AS WELL AS OTHER NEW LIKE VEHICLES OFF THE LOT AND THE PROBLEM EXISTED IN ALL VEHICLES. THE CONCLUSION BY BOTH CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVES IS THAT THE VEHICLE VIBRATION PROBLEM THAT I EXPERANCE IN MY 2007 WRANGLER 2-DOOR 4X4 IS IN FACT INHERENT TO THIS PRODUCT LINE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR THE PURPOSE OF PULLING IT FOUR WHEELS DOWN BEHIND A MOTORHOME AND AT THE 60-65 MPH SPEED RANGE, WHICH IS THE BEST ECOMOMY ZONE FOR A MOTORHOME. A PROBLEM AS I DESCRIBED ABOVE OCCURING AT HIGHWAY SPEED COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE DURING PERIODS OF LIMITED TRACTION, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF THE OCCUPANTS AND OTHERS ON THE ROADWAY. *TR

TIRE VALVE STEM FAILURES, STEM MDL TR-413, ORIGINAL FACTORY WHEELS/TIRES ON 2007 JEEP WRANGLER PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY 2007. RT FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT WHILE PARKED. NOTICED THE VALVE STEM WAS SEPARATING. CHECK OTHER TIRES AND LEFT FRONT STEM WAS ALSO SPLIT AND HISSED WHEN FLEXED. JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND SAID TO CONTACT TIRE MANUFACTURER WHEN MY SON CALLED THEM. I CALLED AND LEFT MSG FOR DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER WHO NEVER RETURNED CALL. TOOK VEHICLE TO A LOCAL TIRE SHOP AND ALL FIVE STEMS REPLACED. ALL FIVE ARE MDL TR-413. VEHICLE OWNED BY MY SON. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING POORLY SINCE THE 3RD DAY OF PURCHASE (03/07) AND AT SAFE HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ENGINE JUST STALLS..... IT HAPPENS VERY OFTEN, ABOUT 3 TIMES A MONTH......THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT IS OPERATING WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS AND THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE AT THIS TIME.....HUUMMMM. *TR

PURCHASED NEW 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY LIGHT CONSISTENTLY COMES ON AND POWER DIMS. THE DEALER, AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, CANNOT FIX. IT DID COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION IN ONE CASE AND NEEDED TOWED BACK. AFTER SERVICING THE LIGHT STILL CONSISTENTLY APPEARS AND POWER WEAKENS RANDOMLY. *TR

DRIVING 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X MODEL ON DAMP DAY. HITTING SHALLOW PUDDLES WITH RIGHT SIDE TIRES ON SIDE OF THE ROAD AT ABOUT 55 MILES AN HOUR. I HAVE ALWAYS DONE THIS WITHOUT TOO MUCH PROBLEM. ROAD WAS FLAT AND STRAIGHT WITHOUT POTHOLES. HIT PUDDLE AND VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AS IF A TIRE WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF AT HIGH SPEED. EXTREME MEDIUM FREQUENCY VIBRATION CONTINUED UNTIL VEHICLE WAS ALMOST AT A COMPLETE STOP. IT WAS REPEATABLE. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON A FLAT STRAIGHT WELL PAVED ROAD IN DOWNTOWN CITY STREET. I WAS GOING BETWEEN 30 AND 35 MILES PER HOUR AND ON A DRY ROAD AND TRAVELED OVER A RAILROAD TRACK TRANSITION (SLIGHTLY ELEVATED CONCRETE TO TRANSITION OVER TRACKS SMOOTHER) THIS SET UP ANOTHER UNCONTROLLABLE MEDIUM FREQUENCY VIBRATION IN THE VEHICLE THAT COULD NOT BE STOPPED UNLESS THE VEHICLE COMES TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. OTHERS ON WWW.JK-FORUM.COM HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR SITUATIONS. DEALERS ARE BLOWING SOME OF US OFF. IT SHOULD BE MENTIONED THAT I ALWAYS TRAVEL WITH THE ANTI-SKIT MITIGATION SYSTEM OFF. IT APPEARS THAT A LATERAL OSCILLATION IS STARTING UP IN THE FRONT END OF THE JEEP STEERING SYSTEM. BUT THAT IS JUST A GUESS. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID (OH YEAH, THAT IS THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE). IT IS PRETTY NORMAL, ALTHOUGH THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT ON THE NEW BODY STYLE. *TR

THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO M FAILURE ARE QUITE SIMPLE. I TAKE THE SAME ROUTE TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY, AND AT THE POINT WHERE THE FAILURE HAPPENED I ALWAYS HAVE MY CRUISE SET AT BETWEEN 55 - 60 MPH. IT WAS A REGULAR DAY, NO PRECIPITATION AND I WAS CRUISING IN SIXTH GEAR. WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ALL THE SUDDEN I NOTICED MY STEREO AND HEAD LIGHTS TURNED OFF, I LOOKED DOWN AND ALL OF MY DASH LIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANELS HAD TURNED OFF. SITTING IN MY SEAT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH IT LOOKED AS IF MY CAR WAS TURNED OFF. IT LASTED LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO REALIZE I HAD A POTENTIALLY HUGE PROBLEM, AND TO LOOK ALL AROUND ME QUICKLY FOR NEARBY VEHICLES JUST IN CASE SOMETHING WAS ABOUT TO GO TERRIBLY WRONG. IT WAS PROBABLY ON 4 - 6 SECONDS IN ALL ACTUALITY, BUT IT FELT LIKE LONGER. I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD TRIED TO STEER OR BRAKE. WOULD IT HAVE WORKED? ALSO, MY JEEP IS STILL 100% STOCK, FACTORY TIRES AND ALL. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID ONE IF I HAD TO BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN RESPONSIVE DURING THE "BLACK OUT." THIS HAPPENED TWO DAYS AGO, AND IT IS NOW MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. I PLAN ON CONTACTING THE DEALER ON TUESDAY TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE, BUT FROM MY RESEARCH ONLINE, MY HOPES ARE NOT HIGH. IT SEEMS THERE ARE PLENTY OF RELATED INCIDENTS OUT THERE, AND NOBODY SEEMS TO BE GETTING ANY REAL HELP FROM THEIR DEALERSHIPS. *TR

FOLLOW UP ON INCIDENT #10225339 WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END WAS BAD CONTROL ROD. DEALER ORDERED PART TO FIX IT ON APRIL 21ST AND I HAD AN ACCIDENT ON APRIL 22. MINOR DAMAGE TO MY JEEP. REPORTED TO CHRYSLER AND THE REFUSED TO REPAIR DAMAGE TO MY JEEP WHICH WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY PART. "INSPECTOR FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE SUBJECT VEHICLE'S STEERING/SUSPENSION SYSTEM." THE JEEP DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE PROBLEM 4 DAYS PRIOR TO THE INVESTIGATION AT MY HOUSE. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THE DECISION IS FINAL THAT THEY WOULD MAKE A NOTE THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PRIOR TO THE INVESTIGATION. *TR

WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HITS A BUMP, GRAVEL, OR SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER THE TIRE FEELS LIKE IT IS BOUNCING. THE VEHICLE IS NOT ABLE TO BE STEERED UNTIL THE WOBBLE/BOUNCING STOPS WHICH IS USUALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST STOPPED. *TR

SOFT TOP LEAKS AT SEAL AND HAS A BAD WHISTLE. DEALERSHIP ORDERED A NEW SEAL THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE LARGER THE ORIGINAL ONE. *TR

DASH LIGHTS FLASH ON, MOMENTARY LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR REPAIR PROBLEM. *TR

HOOD RAISES UP ABOUT 2 INCHES AND THE SAFETY CATCH HOLDS THE HOOD DOWN WHEN A SEMI TRUCK IS COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OR ON WINDY DAYS. THE CAUSES A BIG DISTRACTION WHEN IT LOOKS AS IF THE HOOD IS GOING TO FLY UP ON A REGULAR BASIS. *TR DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE HOOD LATCHES.

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP 07 WRANGLER THE ENGINE STALLED AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHILE DRIVING. THE RADIO WENT DEAD AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY STIFF FOR 2 SECONDS. THE CAR THEN RESTARTED BY ITSELF WHILE STILL MOVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE DASHBOARD LIT UP JUST AS IT DOES WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON AND THE SEAT BELT CHIME SOUNDED 5 TIMES JUST LIKE IT DOES UPON STARTUP. WITHIN 15 MINUTES THE WHOLE PROCESS OCCURRED A SECOND TIME WITH THE SAME RESULT. THE CAR BRIEFLY STALLED THEN RESTARTED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN IN TOUCH WITH A DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR STALLING ENGINES BUT APPARENTLY THEY WERE WRONG BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWO TIMES ON ONE TRIP. I AM GOING TO STOP BY A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND ASK THEM TO PERFORM THE TIPM RESET FOR ME BUT WANT TO ALERT OTHERS THAT THEIR VEHICLE MAY BE AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. *TR

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER .I HAVE EXPERIENCED A STALLING PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE 5 TIME IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. 4 OF THE 5 TIME I WAS TRAVELING AT NIGHT AT SPEEDS OF 50 TO 65 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE. THE REASON I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT IS I ALMOST REAR ENDED A TRACTOR TRAILER RUNNING AT A SLOWER SPEED AFTER THE STALL TURNED OF THE LIGHT AND GAVE ME NO BRAKE POWER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ALMOST COSTING ME MY LIFE. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A RECALL NOTICE DONE ON 03/21/08. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE COMING QUITE COMMON ON THESE JEEPS, I HOPE A DEATH DOES NOT HAPPEN BEFORE THEY FIX THE DEFECT. *TR

I AM CURRENTLY IN POSSESSION OF A JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR WITH A SOFT TOP. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR IS THAT THE SOFT TOP LEAKS LIKE A FAUCET ANYTIME THERE IS RAIN. WHILE AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT TO ONLY BE A NUISANCE, AFTER THE THIRD TIME I BEGAN TO NOTICE MANY PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE LEAKS. THE FLOORMATS WERE CONSTANTLY SOAKED AND EVENTUALLY STARTED TO FORM MILDEW, THE PEDALS WOULD BECOME SLIPPERY AND DIFFICULT TO OPERATE DUE TO THE WETNESS, THE WATER WAS OCCASIONALLY LEAKING INTO TO SPEAKERS ON THE VENTS ON THE DASHBOARD AND WORKING ITS WAY INTO THE REAR OF THE DASHBOARD, AND THE SEATS TENDED TO SLIDE A LITTLE BIT ON THE RAILS THAT ARE USED TO LOCK THE SEAT IN PLACE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM FOR THE 07 AND 08 WRANGLERS AND DEALERSHIPS SEEM TO BE BRUSHING IT OFF AS A MINOR INCONVENIENCE. HOWEVER, WHEN THE WATER STARTS AFFECTING OTHER SYSTEMS OF THE CAR IT IS NO LONGER AN INCONVENIENCE, IT IS NOW A SAFETY ITEM. THAT IS WHY I AM BRINGING THIS ITEM TO YOUR ATTENTION. *TR

WHILST DRIVING AT 65MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY AND BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE. ALMOST LIKE IT WAS BOUNCING FROM TIRE TO TIRE. CAME TO A STOP AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM AND FIXED IT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS OCCURRED AROUND 14000 MILES. SINCE IT WAS "FIXED" I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE INITIAL PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AT AROUND 16,000 MILES THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE DUE TO THE VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

CAR LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING. ALL DASH LIGHTS GO OFF AND THEN COME BACK ON QUICKLY. CHRYSLER DID RECALL JEEP WRANGLERS FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY TOLD ME MINE WAS NOT ONE THAT WAS RECALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE YEAR THAT I HAVE OWNED THE JEEP, MOST RECENTLY MARCH 11, DRIVING AT 35MPH. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER "REBOOTS" ITSELF WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL ITEMS FAIL AND STAY OFF FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. THEN EVERYTHING COMES BACK ON AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED ON APRIL 5, 2007, AND THE SECOND FAILURE OCCURRED ON MAY 9, 2007. THE VEHICLE REBOOTED ITSELF FIVE TIMES WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON MARCH 5, 2008. *TR

MY MODEL YEAR 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH THE 3.8L V6 ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO LOSE ENGINE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THIS OCCURS, MOMENTARY LOSS OF ENGINE POWER ON ACCELERATION OR AT CRUISING SPEED AND ALL INTERIOR WARNING LIGHTS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHT UP ALL AT ONCE. THE RADIO WHETHER PLAYING A CD OR JUST THE RADIO FEATURE CUTS OUT AT THE SAME TIME THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHETHER CRUISING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. TONIGHT IT HAPPENED WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I ACCELERATED ON THE LIGHT CHANGING TO GREEN, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS BRIEFLY CAME ON AND THE RADIO STOPPED. THE ENGINE NEVER STALLED, BUT LOST ALL POWER AND WITHIN A FEW SECONDS ALL WORKED AGAIN. I NEARLY WAS HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN THEY STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD THROUGH THE LIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN NOW THAT I'VE ALMOST BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS CONDITION. I'LL BE CONTACTING BOTH MY JEEP DEALER IN THE MORNING AND DAIMLER-CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS. *TR

MY CAR WONT START. ON FEB 5TH, ODI 10217364, I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE AND I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE TIM MODULE. ON FEB. 16TH I TRIED TO START THE CAR 4 TIMES - IT WOULD TURN ON FOR A SECOND THEN ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD COME ON AND THE CAR WOULD DIE. ON THE 5TH AND 6TH TRY IT WOULDN'T TURN ON AT ALL, JUST THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD COME ON. IT WAS AFTER 4PM SO DEALERSHIP CLOSED. ON FEB. 16TH I TIRED THE CAR AGAIN, IT TURNED ON WITH THE FIRST TRY SO I MOVED IT FROM THE GARAGE TO A SPOT OUTSIDE. ON MONDAY, FEB 17TH I WAS GOING TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT BUT AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START. JUST LIKE ON SATURDAY, AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS IT WOULDN'T TURN ON AT ALL. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THAT THE CAR HAS GONE INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR STALLING/NOT STARTING AND THE 8TH TIME THAT THIS STALLING/NOT STARTING PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. *TR
