2007 Jeep Wrangler complaints

UPON STARTING VEHICLE, HORN SOUND CONSTANT, WIPERS TURN ON, WINDSHIELD SPRAYER SQUIRTS, BACK UP LIGHT TURN ON AND DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATES. TURNED OFF IGNITION AND REMOVED KEY, DASHBOARD LOST POWER, BUT ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN, DISCONNECTED BATTERY AND APPROXIMATELY 90 SECONDS LATER, ENGINE QUITE RUNNING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT LOCATED A FAILURE CODE AT THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WAS OUT OF OIL AND CONTAINED METAL FRAGMENTS, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. NO LEAKS WERE FOUND TO SUPPORT WHY THE ENGINE WAS OUT OF OIL. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

INCIDENTS OF ENGINE STALL; AIRBAG NON-DEPLOYMENT; RANDOM HORN, HEADLIGHT, TAILLIGHT, DOOR LOCK, INSTRUMENT PANEL AND WINDSHIELD WIPER ACTIVITY; FAILURE OF FUEL PUMP SHUTOFF RESULTING IN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION; AND FIRES. ALL THE DASH BACK LIGHTS COME OFF AND ON RANDOMLY ESPECIALLY THE HEATER CONTROLS. AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. AIR BAG LIGHT AND BEEPER FLASH AND BEEP ALL THE TIME AND NO MECHANIC DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. VERY FLUSHTERATING TO DRIVE W AIRBAG BEEPING . NO RESALE VALUE DUE TO ALL THE ABOVE THINGS. WILL YOU BUY IT? HORN HAS NOW STOPPED WORKING AND LIGHTS BEHIND THE HEATER DO NOT WORK EITHER.

I HAVE HAD THE "DEATH WOBBLE" SINCE I PURCHASED MY JEEP. THIS HAPPENED ON BOTH STOCK SUSPENSION AND MODIFIED SUSPENSION AND SO FAR, IT HAS HAPPENED EASILY WELL OVER 160 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THIS LAST YEAR (I LOST COUNT AS IT HAPPENS FEQUENTLY). I'VE DISHED OUT WELL OVER $1,000 TO FIX (SO FAR), HAVE HAD TWO ACCIDENTS (NOV. 2, 2014 AND APR. 14, 2015, BOTH MINOR WITH NO POLICE REPORTS MADE EITHER TIME) AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THIS, COUNTLESS NEAR MISSES, MANY A DRINK SPILLED ON THE FLOOR BOARD OR MYSELF THEN THE FLOOR THANKS TO EITHER THE GUT-WRENCHING WOBBLE ITSELF, OR HAVING TO SLAM ON THE BREAKS. EVEN MORE UNSAFE, IS THAT EVERYTIME IT HAPPENS, THE ONLY WAY TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS TO STOP IMMEDIATELY OR RISK FURTHER DAMAGE AND/OR LOSING CONTROL. THIS MEANS HAVING TO SLAM ON THE BREAKS MANY TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HOPE THAT 1.) I'M ACTUALLY DRIVING AS MY FIANC WOULDN'T HAVE THE STRENGTH TO KEEP CONTROL 2.) I MAINTAIN ENOUGH CONTROL TO GUIDE THE JEEP TO AN EMERGENCY LANE SO I CAN STOP SAFELY. 3.) HOPE THAT OTHER DRIVERS ARE PAYING ATTENTION AND DON'T HIT ME. THIS IS REDICULOUS, AND THE MORE IT HAPPENS, THE LESS SAFE I FEEL, AND THE MORE RISK THAT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY ARE PLACED IN. JEEP HAS A TYPICAL RESPONSES OF, "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG.", "THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO.", "WE ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT CANNOT OFFER A REMIDY.", OR "LET'S REPLACE THIS. SORRY IT DIDN'T HELP. LET'S TRY THIS. YES, WE UNDERSTAND IT DIDN'T WORK, BUT WE STILL HAD TO REPLACE IT, SO

AIRBAG LIGHT GOING ON AND OFF AND ON. SECONDLY, WHILE DRIVING AT 39-41 MPH AND WHEN RPM'S DROP FROM ROUGHLY 22,000 TO ROUGHLY 12,000 ( SHIFTING TO LAST GEAR ),...JEEP STARTS RIDING VERY ROUGH AND SHAKING. NOT BRAKES, ALIGNMENT, OR BALANCING PROBLEM. ONLY HAPPENS WITH THESE SPECIFIC GUIDELINES.

EXPERIENCED THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE WHILE TRAVELLING AT 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT AND THE TIRE WAS MOVING FROM SIDE TO SIDE ON THE RIM. THIS WAS EXTREMELY VIOLENT. AFTER I GOT THE VEHICLE STOPPED I INSPECTED IT FOR DAMAGE AND COULD NOT FIND ANY OBVIOUS PROBLEMS. THIS HAPPENED FIVE MORE TIMES ON THAT TRIP. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC THAT FOUND NOTHING WRONG. HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED. THEY WERE IN BALANCE. STARTED RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE DEATH WOBBLE. FOUND THE STEERING DAMPER WAS LOOSE AND TIGHTENED IT. HELPED A LITTLE BUT PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. TAKING IT TO A DEALER NEXT TO HAVE THE DAMPING AND ALIGNMENT COMPONENTS REPLACED. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE VEHICLE IS STOCK.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY THE HORN STARTED HONKING,WIPERS STARTED ON THEIR OWN AS WELL AS WIPER FLUID SQUIRTING , RADIO CAME ON AND LIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF. PULLED OVER AND EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND KEY REMOVED IGNITION THE CAR REMAINED RUNNING WITH ALL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT RUNNING OFF AND ON. IT SEEMS THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEP/ CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I REPLACED THE BATTERY CABLES AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS THEN IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL I REMOVED THE BATTERY CABLES. I REMOVED THE BATTERY CABLES TO THE CAR BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED THAT THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM MAY CAUSE A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD AND POSSIBLY BURN MY HOUSE DOWN. *TR

I PARKED MY JEEP IN MY DRIVE WAY AROUND 12 PM AFTER ON MONDAY, APRIL 6TH. AROUND 4 PM THE SAME DAY A FIRE, THAT APPEARED TO BE ELECTRICAL IN NATURE, STARTED IN THE DASH INSIDE THE FACTORY GPS/RADIO SYSTEM. THE KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION. I WAS ALERTED BY MY NEIGHBOR THAT MY JEEPS EMERGENCY FLASHERS WERE ON AND IT WAS SMOKING. WE RUSHED TO THE JEEP, THE WINDOWS WERE ALL BURNT BLACK THE FIRE WAS JUST SMOLDERING BECAUSE THE DOORS AND WINDOWS WERE SHUT. MY DAD AND I QUICKLY GRABBED TWO FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND WHEN WE OPENED THE DOORS THE FIRE ENGULFED THE ENTIRE FRONT DASH. AFTER A FEW USES OF THE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WE MANAGED TO PUT THE FIRE OUT BEFORE TOO MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE. THE ENTIRE FRONT DASH WAS MELTED AND THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. WE SUSPECT THE VEHICLE TO BE TOTALED BUT WE HAVE HEARD BACK FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN HITTING 65MPH AND JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I WOULD HAVE TO STOP AND PULL OVER TO A LOWER SPEED FOR IT TO STOP. BUT IF I WAS IN LEFT LANE AND IT STARTED I COULDN'T SWING TO BREAKDOWN LANE SO WOULD HAVE TO STOP IMMEDIATELY IN TRAFFIC. VERY UNSAFE BUT BETTER THAN CAUSING ACCIDENT. I REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER LAST SUMMER WITH NO RELIEF. WHY IS JEEP NOT HANDLING THIS ? WHY ARE PEOPLE LIKE US SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON A VEHICLE JUST TO HAVE CAUSE LIFE THREATENING ISSUES I HAVE MANY THINGS AND READ UP ON THIS DEATH WOBBLE OF JEEP. IS IT SOMETHING I CAN GET LAWYERS INVOLVED ? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT, THE VEHICLE BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE. THE WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO WOBBLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FRONT STABILIZER LINK FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE STABILIZER LINK AND BOLTS THAT SECURED THE LINKS WERE REPLACED, HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WE HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. EVERY TIME WE HIT A POTHOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE CAR DOES THIS SHAKE AND YOU LOSE CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2007 AT LEAST 1 TIME A WEEK. I AM LUCK I HAVE NOT CRASHED YET. *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN TRACED TO THE SOLID STATE RELAY ON THE TIPM PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD. THE LOW BEAM USUALLY OPERATES AFTER HAVING THE SELECTOR SET TO HIGH BEAM FOR 20-30 MINUTES. THE ONLY REMEDY IS REPLACING THE TIPM AT SUBSTANTIAL COST FOR A RELATIVELY SIMPLE AND VERY IMPORTANT, SAFETY RELATED VEHICLE FUNCTION. REPLACEMENT TIPM UNITS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE, AND THERE IS NO TEMPORARY REPAIR POSSIBLE. THIS FAILURE EFFECTIVELY PRECLUDES LEGAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE COSTLY REPAIR CAN BE COMPLETED. *TR

MY JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X HAS STALLED 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND THE VEHICLE'S POWER GOES OUT FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE NO MORE THAN 2 SECONDS. THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS JEEP, BUT MOST HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE LIFETIME DRIVE-TRAIN WARRANTY. RE: QUESTION #2 I CAN NOT GIVE ANY DATES, SO I PUT TODAY'S DATE. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE AFOREMENTIONED PROBLEM 3X'S AS IT IS AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PUTTING GAS IN THE TANK. IT CONSTANTLY OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS GAS ALL OVER THE SIDE. I'VE ALSO SEEN INCIDENTS WHERE GAS HAS BOUNCED OUT OF THE TANK NEAR THE NECK OF THE FUEL DOOR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE UNCONTROLLABLY VEERED LEFT TO RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUSPENSION, THE BRACKET DAMPER, THE STEERING DAMPER, THE NUT HEX FLANK, THE BOLT HEX FLANK, THE BAR FRONT, THE STEERING ADJUSTER, AND THE TIE ROD DRAGS NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,142.

ON 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD), THE DASHBOARD AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND CHIME RANDOMLY AND FREQUENTLY GOES ON AND OFF. CONTACTED DEALER ALMOST A WEEK AGO. DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY ARE TOO BUSY TO LOOK AT IT NOW. I AM WAITING FOR A PART (UNRELATED TO THE AIRBAG) TO COME IN SO THE DEALER SAID THEY WILL LOOK AT AIRBAG WHEN THE OTHER PART COMES IN. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER IS NOT OVERLY CONCERNED THE RANDOM AND FREQUENT LIGHT AND CHIME ARE ANNOYING (WHICH BY DESIGN PROBABLY MEANS IT NEEDS MORE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION). *TR

THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE BRAKE ASSIST, AIRBAG & STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT UP. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CLOCK SPRING WAS FAULTY THAT IS WHY THE LIGHTS COME ON. THE COST TO REPAIR THE CLOCK SPRING IS OVER $800.00. ALL IT DOES IS MAKE IT SO THE WARNING LIGHTS TURN OFF, SO I HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO REPAIR IT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JK WRANGLERS. THE PROBLEM IS IF THERE REALLY IS AN ISSUE THEN I WON'T KNOW BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. I FEEL THAT JEEP SHOULD REPAIR THIS AS A RECALL. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHTS KEEPS RANDOMLY COMING ON & OFF ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2WD. NO PARTICULAR TIME OR DAY OR SPEED. I CAN BE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT & IT COMES ON. I HAD IT CHECKED & NO ONE COULD FIND A PROBLEM OTHER THEN THE LIGHT COMING ON. I DON'T WANT TO WAIT TILL I CRASH TO SEE IF THE AIRBAG WORKS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL FUMES EMITTED IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED A DISCOLORATION OF FUEL LEAKAGE ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOP OF THE GAS RING WAS CORRODED. AS A RESULT, THE FUEL PUMP AND LOCKING RING NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,820.

MY VEHICLE DEVELOPED A HORRIBLE WOBBLE IN THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I SLOWED DOWN AND THE WOBBLE STOPPED BUT PERSISTED WHENEVER I WENT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE HOWEVER THE COST OF REPAIRS IS MINE TO BEAR. THIS COULD CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT, YET JEEP IS IGNORING REPAIRING THIS. TO THIS DAY IT IS STILL NOT FIXED 100%. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH OVER A POT HOLE, THE VEHICLE WOBBLED AND VIBRATED OUT OF CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

I STARTED MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X2 (MANUAL SHIFT) AND WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVE WAY (THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN GEAR) WHEN THE JEEP TURNED ITSELF OFF AND RESTARTED. AT THE TIME IT RESTARTED ITSELF, THE HORN BEGAN BLOWING NON-STOP, THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON, WASHER FLUID SPRAYED FROM THE REAR WIPERS, THE DASH LIGHTS TURNED ON, THE RADIO TURNED ON, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TURNED ON. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE HORN KEPT BLOWING, BOTH SETS OF WIPERS WERE ON, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ON, THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING, THE DASH LIGHTS REMAINED LIT, AND THE RADIO WOULDN'T SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF, BUT NOTHING HELPED. THE HORN WAS BLOWING LIKE A DEMON. THE NEIGHBORS RACED OVER TO HELP ME. WE MANUALLY STALLED THE JEEP TO STOP THE ENGINE, BUT THE HORN, RADIO, LIGHTS, AND WIPERS REMAINED ON. WE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TERMINAL - HORN KEPT BLOWING. (THIS WIPED OUT THE COMPUTER CODES). THEN WE DISCONNECTED THE HORN TO KEEP IT FROM BLOWING NON-STOP. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY JEEP. ON THANKSGIVING DAY 2014 - THE VEHICLE TURNED ITSELF OFF AND TURNED ITSELF BACK ON WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH. THE ABS AND COMPASS MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED. SOFTWARE UPDATES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. THE CLOCKSPRING WAS REPLACED. THEY CLAIM THE TIPM WAS REPLACED IN 2007. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AND THE DEALERSHIP ON ALL OCCASIONS AFTER EACH INCIDENT AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT IF THEY CAN'T

WHEN DRIVING AND VEHICLE HIT A BUMP WITH RIGHT TIRE VEHICLE WOULD BEGIN VIOLENTLY SHAKING UNTIL SLOWED DOWN TO 15 MPH. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP WHO DIAGNOSED IT WITH DEATH WOBBLE AND REPLACED LOWER DRAG LINK AND INSTALLED NEW TIRES. NO ISSUES SO FAR. ALSO BOTH FLOORBOARDS GET WET WHEN IT RAINS. *TR

THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING AN UNEVEN ROAD ON A HILL/CURVE. THE SHAKING WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I HIT THE BRAKES. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN DECEMBER OF 2014. A MECHANIC SAID THE STEERING STABILIZER AND FRONT BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM WAS COMMON WITH JEEPS, KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN EXTREME SHAKING WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. I OCCURS VERY RANDOMLY AND COMES ON WITH OUT NOTICE. IT OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL SUBURBAN STREETS AND AT ANY SPEED. I READ AN ARTICLE FROM 08' FROM ANOTHER PERSON THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IT SOUNDED LIKE NOTHING WAS DONE FROM THIS ORGANIZATION AND THE VEHICLE MAKER. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE SITUATION FOR OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS MESSAGE AND LET ME KNOW IF SOMETHING CAN AND WILL BE DONE. *TR

DEATH WOBBLE. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS IN AUG 2014. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND HIT A BUMP MY STEER WHEEL WENT FROM SIDE TO SIDE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPEN I BROUGHT IT TO A DEALER THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG IT HAPPEN 4 MORE TIMES SENSE THEN THEY ARE NOW CALLING IT THE DEATH WOBBLE. *TR

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) FAILURE CAUSING EVERY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION - USUALLY AT THE SAME TIME. ALARM/HORN, WIPERS/WASHER, RADIO, GAUGES, ETC), TO WHICH REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION HAS NO EFFECT. ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REMOVE BATTERY CONNECTION ( AND APOLOGIZE TO THOSE AROUND YOU IN TRAFFIC FOR THE INCONVENIENT SHOW THE VEHICLE JUST PUT ON). MANUFACTURER RECALL OF TIPMS ONLY COVERED CERTAIN MANUFACTURE DATES, DESPITE THE PROBLEM NOT BEING LIMITED TO JUST THAT ONE GROUP OF VEHICLES. REPAIR (REPLACEMENT OF TIPM) IS > $1000. *TR

ON THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. *TR

CAR DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE. ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. EVEN THOUGH CAR WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR SERVICE NOVEMBER 1 2014. TWO FAULT CODES WERE FOUND THE DEALER (PAPA DODGE) REPLACED EGR AND GASKET VALVE. I CALLED THE DEALER ABOUT 10 DAYS LATER AND TOLD THEM THE CAR STILL DID NOT HAVE POWER WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE. THE SUPERVISOR OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOOK JEEP FOR TEST DRIVE AND SAID HE DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM. ON DECEMBER 25 ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ON DECEMBER 26 I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR AND SAW SMOKE CAME TO COMPLETED STOP. UNDER THE CAR FRONT IN THE FRONT UNDER HOOD WAS ON FIRE PASSENGER SIDE. POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED IMMEDIATELY AND PUT OUT FIRE UNDER HOOD ENGINE. CAR WAS COMPLETELY BURNED OUT. *TR

WIPERS SUDDENLY START, SWAY BAR INDICATOR TURNS ON, HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF AND VEHICLE STALLS. TAKES UP TO 2 DAYS FOR VEHICLE TO RESTART. *DT

JEEP SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND REQUEST I AM NOW SENDING. MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING THROUGH SOME BRUSH ON 10/25/2014 AND WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THAT RESPONDED CONCLUDED THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AS WELL AS MY INSURANCE COMPANY. JEEP SAID SINCE I ALREADY SETTLED WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I AM REPORTING THIS INCIDENT TO YOU SO CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GET BACK TO ME? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO OPERATE AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SWITCH GEARS. THE CONTACT HAD TO ENGAGE THE MANUAL OVERDRIVE SWITCH IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WHEN FILLING UP WITH FUEL AT THE GAS STATION, WHEN THE TANK GETS NEAR FULL, THE FUEL PUMP WILL SHUT OFF, BUT NOT UNTIL FUEL SPITS BACK OUT OF THE FUEL FILL TUBE, OUT ONTO THE OUTSIDE OF THE JEEP AND INTO THE GROUND. THERE IS A LIFETIME WARRANTY RECALL FOR JEEP WRANGLERS FOR THIS PROBLEM, THAT STARTS WITH VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AFTER MARCH 1, 2007. HOWEVER, OUR VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN NOVEMBER, 2006. *TR

WAS DRIVING AND ENGINE STOPPED. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND WHEN STOPPED SMOKE WAS BILLOWING UP AROUND ME. GOT OUT AND TRIED TO PUT OUT UNDERCARRIAGE WITH WATER AND THEN TWO FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WITH THE HELP OF OTHER MOTORISTS THAT STOPPED TO HELP. WE COULDN'T EXTINGUISH SO I CALLED 911 AND WATCHED AS IT WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND BURNED. *TR

STEERING DAMPENER. STEERING BOX. *TR

WE HAVE HAD THIS INCIDENT MANY TIMES BEFORE, REFERRED TO AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE', HAD THE STEERING PIN REPLACED TWICE, AND NEW TIRES, ALIGNMENT AND WAS FINE FOR 3 MONTHS AND YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD GOING 45 MPH AND JEEP JUST STARTED ROCKING AND JUMPING ALL OVER THE ROAD, HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD THE MAKE IT STOP. WHEN ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS????? WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED????? THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED, SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS AND ARE VERY UPSET, HAS THIS BEEN LOOKED INTO???? IF YOU ARE FOR SAFETY THAN THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKED INTO A LONG TIME AGO!!!!! *TR

DRIVING JEEP WRANGLER AND SUDDENLY ENTIRE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

THE HORN STOPPED WORKING AND THEN A DAY LATER THE AIR BAG WARNINGLITE INDICATING MALFUNCTION CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN STAYED ON CHIMING FROM TIME TO TIME.IT GOES OFF AND THEN COMES BACK ON WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS MOVING AGAIN.IT SOMETIMES GOES OFF WHEN TURNING RIGHT.MY MECHANIC SAID THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT,IT IS THE CLOCKSCREW HE SAID NAD WHEN I LOOKED IT UP ,IT WAS THE EXACT DESCRIPTION.PITIFUL IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY,THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND JEEP SHOULD FIX IT IMMEDIATELY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP WRANGLER ON A PUBLIC ROAD, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTDOWN. THIS SHUTDOWN CAUSED THE POWER STEERING, BRAKES AND ELECTRICAL ASPECTS OF THE VEHICLE TO STOP FUNCTIONING. THIS IS NOW THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO "PARK" , I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUCCESS. THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP WITH NO INCIDENT. THERE ARE MANY DANGERS INVOLVED WITH A VEHICLE SUDDENLY "SHUTTING DOWN". MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER JEEP VEHICLE OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON REPEATEDLY ON DASH. TOOK IT TO A BODY SHOP AND HE SAYS JEEPS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CLOCKSPRINGS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,171.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR HINGES WERE RUSTING. THREE OF THE FOUR DOORS COULD NOT BE OPENED OR CLOSED FREELY AND WOULD REQUIRE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOORS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, WHO THEN ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THERE WERE NO ASSOCIATED RECALLS OR INVESTIGATIONS OF THE PARTICULAR FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, ANOTHER DRIVER NOTICED THAT SMOKED WAS EMITTING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED SECOND DEGREE BURNS TO THE LEFT LEG WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES THAT WHILE STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION SUCH AS AT A STOP SIGN THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR. IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS SO MUCH THAT I AM HAVING TO START IN SECOND GEAR AS TO AVOID THE LOUD HORRIFYING SOUND THAT IT MAKES AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, AVOID SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION TRYING TO GET IT BACK IN GEAR SO I DON'T GET KILLED BY ONCOMING VEHICLES. THE PROBLEM WITH STARTING IN SECOND GEAR IS #1 I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO AND #2 SOMETIMES IT WANTS TO STALL STARTING IN THAT GEAR ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE STARTING ON A HILL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS 2 TIMES, BUT THEY TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS EVER HAPPENING. I GUESS THEY NEVER LOOK ON THIS WEBSITE. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO COMPLAIN, BUT I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NHTSA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IF THAT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING GETS FIXED? THE WORD SAFETY IS IN THE TITLE. BE PROACTIVE NOT REACTIVE FOR ONCE AND INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM BEFORE ANYONE DIES. *TR

I HAVE HAD 4 ELECTRICAL/ENGINE EVENTS WITH THE MOST RECENT OCCURRING IN JULY, 2014 AFTER PICKING UP MY KIDS FROM CAMP. AS I SLOWED DOWN FOR A LIGHT, ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, THE RADIO WENT DEAD AND THE ENGINE CUT OUT. LUCKILY I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT, AND AS I WAS LOOKING AT THE DASH TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED, THE JEEP THEN TURNED BACK ON.PLEASE HELP. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X AIR BAGS. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE AIR BAG LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY DING AND GO OFF. BOTH THE AIR BAG LIGHT ON MY DASH BOARD AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WILL KEEP RANDOMLY GO OFF. I HAVE DONE NOTHING DIFFERENT, I HAVEN'T EVEN ADJUSTED THE SEATS OR BELTS SO I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL. I'M AFRAID THE AIR BAGS ARE GOING TO EITHER RANDOMLY DEPLOY OR NOT WORK IF I WERE TO EVER GET IN A WRECK. *TR

PURCHASED GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A 255/55/17 A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE MY FRONT LEFT TIRES WAS FLAT AND UNREPAIRABLE. AT THAT TIME DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT. BUT AS TIME WENT BY I NOTICED THAT ONCE I HIT SPEEDS OF ABT 50 MPH MY FRONT END STARTED TO SHAKE SEVERELY. I ASSUMED THAT I NEEDED A FRONT END ALIGNMENT OR BALANCING. HOWEVER COMING HOME SEVERAL DAYS AGO MY FRONT AND BACK RIGHT TIRES BLEW. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND WAS ABLE TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE AND NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE PASSING OR BEHIND ME. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT OUTCOME IF SO. I DECIDED TO DO WEB RESEARCH TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY SIMILAR ISSUES AND HAVE FOUND MANY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I REALLY DO THINK GOODYEAR NEEDS TO REALLY LOOK INTO THIS. I REPLACE THE TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND AND NOT ONCE HAS MY FRONT END SHAKEN LIKE PREVIOUSLY. *TR
