2007 Jeep Wrangler complaints

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

STOCK 2007 WITH FAIRLY NEW ORIGINAL SIZE TIRES WRANGLER WITH "DEATH WOBBLE" AT 55 MILES AN HOURS THE JEEP BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I HAD TO SLOW BELOW 45 FOR THE WOBBLE TO STOP. AFTER I HAD THE RECOMMENDED UPGRADE TO THE STEERING DAMPENER I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH A CANYON ON I-70 AND WENT OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT. I ALMOST LOTS CONTROL AND HIT THE CAR NEXT TO ME RELATED TO THIS WOBBLE. THIS JEEP HAS BEEN TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS, THEY HAVE REPLACED EVERY POSSIBLE PART ON THE FRONT END OF THIS CAR. THE TIRES ARE FROM 2009 WITH ALMOST 2/3 TREAD REMAINING. THE DEALERSHIP IS AT A LOST FOR WHY THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES. I HAVE DECIDED TO SELL THE JEEP BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO FEEL SAFE AND WILL NOT TAKE MY FAMILY IN THIS CARE. THE WOBBLE IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE AND THEREFORE VERY HARD TO DUPLICATE BUT NONE THE LESS IT IS VERY POSSIBLE TO LOSE CONTROL WHEN THIS OCCURS. PLEASE LOOK INTO WHY THIS IS SO COMMON BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT WHEELS RUBBED AGAINST THE BRAKE HOSES AND CAUSED THE BRAKE LINES TO BLOW OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN VERIFIED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE BRAKE HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000. *TR

I TOOK MY WIFE'S 2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK (4 DOOR AUTOMATIC) TO COURTHOUSE SHELL HERE LOCALLY TO GET THE STATE INSPECTION DONE (MY FIRST TIME FOR THIS SINCE PURCHASING IT ON JULY 1ST 2012 FROM CHECKERED FLAG TOYOTA IN GREENBRIER). I RECEIVED A CALL SAYING THAT THE HORN DID NOT WORK, WHAT DID I WANT TO DO? MY WIFE HAD SAID THAT IT HAD BEEN WORKING THE PREVIOUS WEEK. WELL, I SAID THAT I WANT IT FIXED. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THAT THE FUSE IN THE FUSE-BOX WAS NOT GETTING ANY POWER AND THEY NEEDED MORE TIME TO TROUBLESHOOT IT, SO THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT, THEY THEN INCORRECTLY SAID IT WAS A SIMPLE RELAY WHICH THEY WOULD ORDER AND RECEIVE LATER THAT SECOND DAY, AND THEY FINALLY FIGURED OUT THAT THE AIR BAG AND THE HORN WERE INCAPACITATED DUE TO A FAULTY $269 AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY WHICH HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED FROM A DEALERSHIP, SO THEY ENDED KEEPING IT OVER THE WEEKEND, THE STEERING WHEEL HAD BEEN DISASSEMBLED AND WOULD COST MORE IN LABOR TO REASSEMBLE. ANOTHER OPTION GIVEN THAT HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT HE COULD RUN A JUMPER WIRE TO A PUSHBUTTON SWITCH TO MAKE THE HORN WORK BUT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT BE GUARANTEED TO FUNCTION AS NEEDED IN AN ACCIDENT. I MADE THE SAFE DECISION TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. I WAS QUITE UPSET THOUGH TO HAVE TO DISH OUT $389.75 TOTAL FOR PARTS AND LABOR. I HAVE THE RECEIPT TO SHOW IT IN THE EVENT THAT JEEP EVER DECIDES TO RECALL THAT FLIMSY AND UNSAFE ASSEMBLY. THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS LODGED REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE ONLINE. CONSI

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH OVER AN UNEVEN SURFACE, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA. THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY DID AN OIL CHANGE AND AFTER 3 MONTHS AND ABOUT 1,800 MILES OF DRIVING MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS LOW. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP(VALVOLINE QUICK LUBE) TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY MENTIONED THE OIL PLUG WAS STRIPPED AND THAT THERE WAS SILICONE CAULK TO HELP SEAL THE OIL PLUG. AT THIS POINT I HAD THEM REPLACE THE OIL PLUG AND WAS CONTENT WITH THE SERVICE. AFTER DRIVING 500-600 MILES AFTER THE OIL CHANGE I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS LOW AS IF IT WAS DISAPPEARING. NO VISIBLE LEAKS IN MY GARAGE AND NONE IN MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK. AT THIS POINT I HAD TO ADD 2 QUARTS OF OIL TO GET TO READ ON THE DIP STICK. THIS WENT ON UNTIL MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND I HAD VALVOLINE LOOK FOR ANY VISUAL LEAKS. THEY MENTIONED NOTHING THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING CONSUMED. FINALLY, IN MARCH OF 2013, TOOK MY JEEP TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM START AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. AFTER THE FIRST 500 MILES THEY STATED THERE WAS LOSS OF OIL AND MADE THERE MARKS AND RESEALED EVERYTHING FOR THE NEXT 500 MILES. I TOOK IT BACK IN AT THE NEXT 500 MILE MARK, NOW MIND YOU EVERYTHING IS SEALED SO THEY KNOW NOTHING WAS TAMPERED WITH, PERFORMANCE CHRYSLER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT OIL LOSS AND THEY STATED THE RINGS ON THE PISTONS ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3,300. MY COMPLAINT IS, MY JEEP AT THIS POINT HAS 47000 MILES ON IT AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THE RI

THE FAILURE PERSISTED AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER, WIPERS FAIL OR ONLY OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY DURING MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. *TR

THIS IS MY 7TH JEEP - PURCHASED AS USED WITH 65279 MILES ON IT. WITHIN A WEEK FROM PURCHASE THE TRANSMISSION POPPED OUT OF 1ST GEAR WHILE STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP. VERY LOUD AND STARTLING AND I THOUGHT IT WAS ME BEING NOT USED TO THIS VEHICLE. NO FURTHER INCIDENTS FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN CAUSING ME SUDDENLY STOP WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND NEARLY GETTING T-BONED. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I BEGAN TO TALK WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND FOUND THIS WAS, AND STILL IS, AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS FROM 2007-CURRENT. FURTHER RESEARCH ON MY PART LED TO FINDING A TSB #21-001-10 REV A DATED 4-20-2010. THIS POPPING OUT OF GEAR HAPPENS VERY SPORADICALLY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING, HAS CAUSED ME TO NEARLY BECOME IN AN ACCIDENT (T-BONE OR REAR ENDED) BY THE SUDDEN, ALMOST EXPLOSIVE STOP ONE MAKES WHEN IT HAPPENS. ABOUT A MONTH AGO THIS BEGAN TO SLOWLY HAPPEN MORE OFTEN - TO THE POINT THAT I GOT IN THE HABIT OF HOLDING THE TRANSMISSION IN 1ST GEAR SO IT WOULD NOT POP OUT. WHEN I HAD THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM FOR ROUTINE SERVICE, I ASKED THE SERVICE TECH. ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS POPPING OUT BEGAN TO HAPPEN AS OFTEN AS 3 TIMES A DAY RESULTING IN MORE "CLOSE CALLS" AND, TSB IN HAND, I SCHEDULED THE PROBLEM TO BE CORRECTED AT THE DEALER. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THIS IS A $1200.00 REPAIR AND, AFTER THE WARRANTY PAYMENT, I WILL OWE ABO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SWAY BACK AND FORTH WHENEVER DRIVING OVER A ROAD BUMP OR A POTHOLE. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND BOTH THE BEARINGS AND STRUTS WERE REPLACED, BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,000. *TR

OVER TIME THE STOCK L/F TIRE RUBBED THROUGH THE BRAKE LINE CAUSING THE L/F CALIPER TO LOCK UP WEARING DOWN THE L/F BRAKE PADS AND OVERHEATING THE ROTOR. THE BRAKE HOSE, CALIPER , BRAKE PADS AND FRONT BRAKE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAD AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC LOOK AT THIS AND HE BELIEVES IT IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN ON THE VEHICLE. THE STOCK L/F TIRE SHOULD NEVER TOUCH THE BRAKE LINE WITHIN THE TURNING RADIUS OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T TRAVEL VERY FAR WITH THE CALIPER LOCKED ON THE WHEEL, IT COULD OF LED TO A FIRE. CHRYSLER DID NOT CLAIM ANY FAULT AND CHARGED ME FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE FOUND OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS POSTED ONLINE. *TR

THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT LOCATIONS WHEN FUELING THAT THE PUMP WILL STOP AND THEN WITHIN SECONDS AFTERWARDS GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT ALL OVER THE VEHICLE THE GROUND AND WHOMEVER IS PUMPING THE FUEL. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

THIS WAS ONE OF THE WORST TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT MY JEEP USED IN OCT OF 2011 THAT IT DID THIS HORRIBLE SHAKING BETWEEN 55-60 MPH. IT HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN AND RECENTLY WAS WORSE THAN EVER!! IT STARTED AT 40 MPH AND CONTINUED EVEN OVER 60 MPH IT WAS SO BAD I NEEDED TO PULL OVER, AS I COULDN'T CONTROL IT. I HAVE SINCE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE MANY JEEP OWNERS FACE-ESPECIALLY 2007. I AM GOING TO CONTACT JEEP AS I WANT IT FIXED, I COULD HAVE CRASHED IF I WEREN'T IN THE FAR RIGHT LANE ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT!!! IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RECALLED TO BE REPAIRED. I'M HOPING JEEP AND MY LOCAL DEALER CAN FIX IT AND IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN! *TR

BOUGHT 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X IN APRIL 2010. 2 MONTHS LATER WHILE FILLING IT UP AT THE GAS STATION THE GAS CAME POURING BACK OUT. I THOUGHT PUMP WAS BROKEN ACTUALLY INFORMED CLERK. HAPPENED AGAIN 3 FILL-UPS LATER. AROUND THAT TIME STARTED HAVING A SHIMMY IN FRONT END. BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WAS TOLD THEY NEVER HEARD OF GAS COMING BACK OUT I MUST BE DOING SOMETHING WRONG AND THE SHIMMY WAS "NORMAL" FOR JEEPS. BEEN HAVING MAJOR ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. I'VE ONLY BOUGHT USED. I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE 02 SENSORS CHANGED 4 TIMES. I HAVE MY TIRES BALANCED SEVERAL TIMES. MY TIRES ROTATED. ALIGNMENTS, ETC. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER. FAST FORWARD TO 2013. SHIMMY IS SO BAD I ALMOST TOOK OUT ANOTHER DRIVER. THANKFULLY I'M A COMMERCIALLY TRAINED DRIVER OTHERWISE IT COULD HAVE ENDED BADLY. STILL HAVE GAS POURING OUT EVERY FILL UP. 02 SENSORS STILL KEEP CRAPPING OUT. HEAD GASKETS HAD TO BE REPLACED ALREADY. I FINALLY HAD ENOUGH AND TOLD DEALER THEY NEED TO FIX NO MORE GAMES AND I FIND OUT ABOUT THE TSB FOR THE STEERING DAMPER. THEN I ALSO HAVE TO BE TOLD THAT MY MAIN REAR OIL SEAL IS NOW LEAKING AND MY TRANNY COOLANT LINES ARE LEAKING??? OH AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL THIS WAS NORMAL FOR JEEPS AS WELL???? REALLY!!!!! THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 66K MILES ON IT. IT'S ALL ORIGINAL NO LIFT KITS, NO OFF ROADING, NOTHING.... THIS IS BULL... FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I PAID FOR THIS VEHICLE SOMEBODY SHOULD

VIOLENT SHAKING FROM FRONT WHEELS AFTER HITTING SMALL BUMPS IN ROAD. STEERING SHOOK SIDE TO SIDE. HAD TO BRING JEEP TO COMPLETE STOP FOR SHAKING TO STOP. VERY DANGEROUS. JEEP DID THIS NEARLY EVERY DAY. *TR

JEEP LEAKS DURING ANY RAIN STORM. AREA BETWEEN THE DOOR AND FRAME OF JEEP THAT IS NORMALLY PROTECTED BY WEATHERSTRIPPING DOES NOT CONTROL LEAKS. I HAVE HAD THE WEATHERSTRIPPING REPLACED AND THE LEAKS STILL CONTINUE. A GOOD RAIN STORM WILL LEAVE 2 INCHES OF WATER IN MY FLOORBOARDS.

HIT A POTHOLE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING UNTIL I STOPPED . *TR

DRIVING MY STOCK 2007 JEEP WRANGLER ON I-77 IN CHARLESTON WV AT 65MPH. STARTED ROUNDING A LEFT HAND CURVE IN THE ROAD WHEN I HIT SOME MINOR BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE STARTED BOUNCING AND SHAKING VIOLENTLY NEARLY CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW AND PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE SHAKE WENT AWAY AT ABOUT 15-20 MPH. I THOUGHT FOR SURE A WHEEL WAS COMING OFF. I SLOWED MY SPEED BUT THIS STILL HAPPENED THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO ROYAL JEEP IN CHARLESTON WHERE I HAD TO LEAVE IT AND RENT A CAR FOR THE NIGHT. AFTER DESCRIBING THE INCIDENT TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED IT SOUND LIKE A BAD STEERING DAMPER SHOCK AND STATED THAT HE HAS DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY TO A TUNE OF $205.00 PLUS THE RENTAL CAR($64.00) AND DROVE BACK TO CLEVELAND OH WITHOUT ANOTHER INCIDENT. MARK BY WORD, SOMEONE WILL DIE SOMEDAY IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED QUICKLY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN EXCESS OF 70MPH WHEN I HIT A VERY MINOR IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SHAKE/HOP AND STEERING BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE I NEARLY CAUSED A MAJOR PILE UP ON I-35. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND I'VE OWNED THE CAR VERY LITTLE TIME. LUCKILY I GAINED CONTROL BEFORE A CATASTROPHIC EVENT HAPPENED. THIS IS 100% A JEEP DESIGN FLAW IT IS REFERRED TO AS "DEATH WOBBLE" AND NO IF ANDS OR BUTS; THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. ALL WE AS BUYERS ASK IS TO BE PUT IN A SAFE AND FUNCTIONAL VEHICLE. MY CHILD HAS TO RIDE IN THIS CAR. THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER THE NATION. IT IS NOT OK FOR THIS TO GO ON ANY LONGER. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE LIVES ARE AT STAKE. IS THAT NOT IMPORTANT ANYMORE? PLEASE WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS SO YOU CAN VIEW WHAT THE WHEELS AND CAR ACTUALLY DO AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW SERIOUS THIS IS. *TR

THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE DEATH WOBBLE THAT IS HIGHLY BEEN BROADCASTED VIA INTERNET. I HAVE A MINT, COMPLETELY STOCK JEEP WRANGLER X UNLIMITED. FIRST YEAR OF THE 4 DOOR. IT HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED AT ALL. AS SAID IT IS MINT CONDITION. I MADE THE MISTAKE OF NOT DRIVING IT MUCH, ESPECIALLY ON HIGHWAY FIRST SEVERAL YEARS I HAD IT. I DROVE A OLDER CAR AS MY EVERYDAY VEHICLE. THE JEEP WAS AND IS MY TOY. I HAD TO START DRIVING IT MORE IN 2011, THAT'S WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS CLEAR. WHENEVER I AM DRIVING AT OVER 50-55 MPH, AND I HIT A BUMP OR GROOVE IN ROAD IT RANDOMLY GOES INTO THIS VIOLENT SHAKE. THE SAME SHAKE DESCRIBED AND SEEN ON THE INTERNET. I FINALLY DID TAKE IT TO A JEEP DEALER, NOT EXPECTING MUCH. DUE TO THE FACT THAT MY WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. BUT DUE TO THE FACT OF THE VERY LOW MILEAGE AND SHOWROOM APPEARANCE OF CAR, I WAS ABLE TO CONVINCE THEM TO ADDRESS PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE TO ME, SO FOR. I SAY SO FOR, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE DEALER HAS REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS UNDERNEATH, BUT PROBLEM STILL THERE. NOW I AM WAITING FOR DECISION FROM HIGHER UPS AT JEEP TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH ME. I FEEL THAT THERE IS SOME ENGINEERING PROBLEMS OVERLOOKED WHEN DESIGNED AND BUILT. THEY(JEEP) KNOW THEY HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM.I AM VERY SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DEATH INVOLVED WITH THIS. IT IS SERIOUS. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IN MY JEEP. SHE CALLS IT CHRISTINES LITTLE SISTER CARLA. I AM STUCK. I CANNOT TRADE VEHICLE IN, FOR I WOULD BE WORRIED THAT THE NEXT OWNER/DRIVER WOULD NOT BE AS LUCKY A

WHEN FUELING VEHICLE, FUEL SPITS BACK AND OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME NEARING FULL TANK. ALSO SETS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT P0440. POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONDITION WAS REFERRED TO AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE TIRES WERE BALANCED AND THE VEHICLE WAS REALIGNED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS NOW, THE PUMP WILL STOP AND THEN DISCHARGE A FAIRLY LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS. PROBABLY AROUND A HALF GALLON. I FEEL THAT WITH THESE DISCHARGE OF GAS BEING EVERY TIME I FILL UP IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED IN TO. IF THERE IS EVER A SPARK WHEN IT DISCHARGES IT WILL INDEFINITELY CAUSE A FIRE THAT HAS THE LIKELY HOOD OF CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH TO ME AND WHOEVER ELSE IS AROUND WHEN IT HAPPENS. ALSO, I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT ONLY MY JEEP THAT IS HAVING THE PROBLEM. MY FRIENDS JEEP DOES THE SAME THING. HE TOLD ME THAT ONE TIME THE PUMP DID NOT STOP AND GAS WAS SHOOTING FROM HIS GAS TANK. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE JEEP WITH FUEL IT OVERFLOWS INSTEAD OF "STOPPING" IT IN TIME. FUEL FLOWS OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

WHEN FILLING MY JEEP WRANGLER JK MODEL X WITH GASOLINE, USING MULTIPLE GAS PUMPS FROM MANY DIFFERENT COMPANIES, IT FILLS ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP AND SPILLS OVER OUT OF THE JEEP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, FUEL WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE FILLING TUBE, THUS CAUSING SEVERAL OUNCES OF FUEL TO SPILL OUT. THUS COATING THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AS WELL AS THE GROUP WITH HIGHLY FLAMMABLE GASOLINE. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW THE TANK IS FILLED, IT OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME. GAS ALSO CONTAINS AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS SUCH AS BENZENE, TOLUENE, ETHYLBENZENE, AND XYLENES (BTEX) THESE CHEMICALS ARE HARMFUL TO BOTH HUMANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT. *TR

FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY, FEELS LIKE A FLAT TIRE OR A LOOSE WHEEL. STOPPED & CHECKED TIRES, FOUND NOTHING WRONG. GOT BACK IN VEHICLE AND DROVE. THIS HAS HAPPEN AT LEAST 2 OTHER TIMES. I BELIEVE IT IS CALLED A DEATH WOBBLE. WAS PRETTY SCARY. *TR

THE VEHICLE ROUTINELY SPILLS LARGE QUANTITIES OF GASOLINE WHENEVER IT IS FILLED WITH GAS. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE "TOPPING OFF" BUT OCCURS WHENEVER THE TANK IS FILLED UNTIL THE PUMP HANDLE AUTOMATICALLY STOPS AT ANY STATION IN MULTIPLE STATES AND EVERY SINGLE TIME. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UP AT THE GAS STATION I GET A HUGE EXPLOSION OF GAS THAT SHOOTS OUT OF THE FUELING AREA TOWARD ME WHEN MY TANK REACHES FULL AND THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT SPEWS AT A HIGH RATE TOWARD MY FACE. *TR

UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE IN FRONT END ON HIGHWAY CAUSING VEHICLE TO BE UNSAFE (REFERRED TO AS THE DEATH WOBBLE)

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. MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. *TR

EXPERIENCED JEEP WRANGLER'S DEATH WOBBLE...MY VEHICLE SHOOK SO BAD I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE WRANGLER'S I HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES AT SPEEDS OF 55 MPH EST. WHILE ON INTERSTATE 80 IN NEW JERSEY ALMOST CAUSING A MULTIPLY VEHICLES CRASH. JUST LEFT DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO VERIFY MY CONCERNS. *TR

RH FRONT SEAT THE AIRBAG ALARM SHUTS OFF AND TURNS ON ALL THE TIME. FAULTY ALARM THE DEALER WANTS 300.00 DOLLARS TO FIX. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN JEEP WRANGLERS, THAT TELLS ME IT'S A FAULTY ALARM THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY YESTERDAY AFTERNOON 11/1/12 DRIVING AT 60 MPH. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF NO WHERE THE JEEP'S FRONT END STARTED SHAKING OUT OF CONTROL. IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT END WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF.. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE JEEP AT THIS POINT SO I STEPPED ON MY BRAKES AND SLOWED THE VEHICLE TO ABOUT 20 MPH BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED. TODAY I TOOK IT IN TO A LOCAL ALIGNMENT SHOP SO THEY CAN DIAGNOSE IT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WHOLE FRONT STEERING ASSEMBLY IS ABOUT SHOT! THEY SPECIFICALLY SAID THAT THE MOST WEAR WAS ON THE TIE RODS AND FRONT TRACK BAR IN WHICH WILL CAUSE THE GEOMETRY OF THE STEERING TO BE THROWN OFF. THEY CALLED IT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND THAT IT WAS COMMON IN THESE JEEPS. I TRULY THINK THAT JEEP NEEDS TO OPEN A RECALL FOR THESE PARTS ( FRONT TRACK BAR/ TIE ROD ASSEMBLY) BEFORE SOME ONE IS KILLED! I DO NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED IF I DIDN'T GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE YESTERDAY. I COULD OF CAUSED A PILE UP AND KILLED SOMEONE IF NOT MYSELF ON I5.. THANK GOD MY KIDS WERE NOT WITH ME AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURED. PLEASE ASSIST IN THIS COMPLAINT AS THERE HAS BEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER THE WEB YET NOTHING HAS BEEN ADDRESSED WITH CHRYSLER. THANK YOU.

MY JEEP HAS THE DEATH WOBBLE, HAS NOW FOR YEARS. AS ADVISED IHAVE REPLACED TIRES AND HAD AN ALLIGNMENT, FIXED IT FOR A WHILE, NOW ITS BACK, REPLACED TIRES AND ALLIGNMENT ALSO BALANCED AND NOW REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPER. THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. EVERY MECHANIC I CALLED HAD HEARD OF IT OR EXPERIENCED IT. THERE HAVE BEEN NEWS PIECES DONE ABOUT IT AND NOW CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN BLAMING IT ON EVERYONE ELSE BUT THEIR POOR DESIGN. THEY SHOULD E HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I HAVE NOT LIFTED MY JEEP AND NOTHING BESIDES TIRES AND NOW THIS STEERING DAMPER HAS BEEN REPLACED - SO ALL STOCK. THEY NEED TO BE FORCED TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THIS AND REIMBURSE PEOPLE FOR THE REPAIRS AND LABOR TIME IT TAKES TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THIS. IT MAY NOT IN AND OF ITSELF BE A SAFETY ISSUE BUT THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT ONCE IT STARTS IS TO STOP COMPLETELY AND THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT 65 MILES AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. BESIDES THE FACT THAT IT HAS TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE OTHER PARTS OF THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENT SHAKING AND THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS IN AND OF ITSELF DEPENDING ON WHAT IS DAMAGED. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS YET BY SOMEONE WITH THE AUTHORITY TO FORCE THEM TO FIX IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX 40 MPH, JEEP STRUCK A SMALL (VERY SHALLOW) POTHOLE. FRONT END OF JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OTHER OCCASSIONS IN THE LAST MONTH, ALL BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH. EACH TIME THE JEEP HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. JEEP IS STOCK, NO LIFTS, NO OFF ROAD USE, ORIGINAL FACTORY TIRES: GOODYEAR WRANGLER P255/75R17, PROPERLY INLFATED TO FACTORY SPECS, LOW MILEAGE 27394. THE WOBBLE DOESN'T STOP UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SLOWED DRASTICALLY, STEERING IS DIFFICULT WHILE THE WOBBLE IS OCCURING. IS THIS A RECALL ITEM? MANUFACTURE REIMBURSEMENT? ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THIS ISSUE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF DILL NOZZLE. *TR

ABOUT ONE SECOND AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY 6 TO 8OZ OF FUEL IS EXPELLED OUT OF THE VEHICLE RUNNING OUT ALL OVER THE CAR AND GROUND. WAS FOUND TO BE FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVE ON WRANGLERS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 03/01/07 AND 03/31/08. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED ON 11/08/06 BUT I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. JEEP REFUSES TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AS MY MANUFACTURE DATE IS OUT OF THE SPECIFIED DATE RANGE. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE EXPANDED AS I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY OTHER JEEPS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT THE COST OF THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,900.

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA FOR THE PAST YEAR NOW. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED I REPLACED THE TIRES AND IT APPEARED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM FOR 8-9 MONTHS. THEN THE PROBLEM RE-APPEARED SO I HAD THE TIRES ROTATED. CORRECTED THE PROBLEM FOR APPROXIMATELY 5000 MILES. JUST THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING INTO WORK MY JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY STARTING AT 50 MPH. IN THE PAST, MY JEEP WILL EXPERIENCE THE DEATH WOBBLE BETWEEN 50-60 MPH. I NEED TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 20 MPH FOR THE WOBBLE TO STOP. THIS IS NOT SAFE! ESPECIALLY DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR AND I NEED TO CONSTANTLY SLOW DOWN TO SPEEDS BELOW THE MINIMUM SPEED LIMIT REQUIREMENT IN MY STATE. ALL PARTS ON MY JEEP ARE STOCK / STRAIGHT FROM THE ASSEMBLY LINE (EXCEPT FOR THE NEW TIRES, AIR FILTER, OIL, AND WIPER BLADES). I CAN BE THE ONLY DRIVER TO THIS VEHICLE AS OTHER DRIVERS IN MY FAMILY REFUSE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVEN'T BROUGHT IT INTO A JEEP DEALER YET (ALTHOUGH AFTER READING THREADS ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS JEEP DENIES IT TO BE AN ISSUE). THIS IS NOT SAFE AND THIS IS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE. IT IS HAPPENING TO MANY JEEP OWNERS AND IF JEEP WANTS TO KEEP ITS BUSINESS THEY SHOULD START ADDRESSING THE ISSUE... *TR

AT HIGHWAY SPEED MY STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THIS OCCURRED WHEN HITTING A SMALL JOINT IN THE PAVEMENT. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE SHAKING WAS TO SLOW DOWN FROM 60 TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE. *TR

I BOUGHT THE JEEP NEW IN FEBRUARY/MARCH OF 2007. IN DECEMBER 2009, AT APPROXIMATELY 45K MILES, I HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE BOTTOM END OF THE ENGINE. TOOK THE JEEP TO MY REGULAR OIL CHANGE CENTER AND THEY CONFIRMED THE KNOCKING SOUND. I THEN TOOK THE JEEP TO LOCAL DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS SPUN BEARINGS AND THERE WAS METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL PAN. THEY PUT IN A NEW MOTOR (CHRYSLER OFFERED SOME ASSISTANCE AFTER MUCH COMPLAINING AND ARGUING ON MY SIDE, BUT IT STILL COST ME $1,500 AS IT AS OUT OF WARRANTY). NOW, IN AUGUST 2012, AT A TOTAL OF 90K MILES (APPROXIMATELY 45K ON THE NEW MOTOR), THE BEARINGS ARE SPUN AGAIN. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD MOTOR IN THIS JEEP. I HAVE THE RECEIPTS FROM MY REGULAR OIL CHANGE CENTER SHOWING THAT I HAVE REGULARLY CHANGED THE OIL. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALER SAYS THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER PPL HAVING THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF PPL WITH 2007 JEEP WRANGLERS THAT ARE HAVING SPUN BEARINGS AT AROUND 45K MILES. JEEP SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE MOTORS AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER AS THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR
