2007 Jeep Wrangler complaints

WHILE SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE HORN BEGAN BEEPING ON ITS OWN FOR A FEW SECONDS AT A TIME AND THEN STOP. I EVENTUALLY DISCONNECTED THE HORN COMPLETELY. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON A BLINKED INTERMITTENTLY. IT STILL DOES IT TO THIS DAY. JEEP ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A BAD CLOCK SPRING. I ALSO HEARD OF OTHER JEEPS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD VIOLENTLY SHAKE WHENEVER DRIVEN OVER BUMPS. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE BROUGHT IN FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. HAS DONE THIS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. MADE A CLICK AND STARTED TO START BUT THEN NOTHING. BATTERY IS BRAND NEW. FURTHER RESEARCHING ONLINE THERE IS NUMEROUS AUTOMATIC JEEP JK'S WITH THIS ISSUE. APPARENTLY AN IMPROPER GROUND IS THE CULPRIT- SEEMS THERE IS ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM TO WARRANT A RECALL??

DEATH WOBBLE - I CAN DRIVE THE JEEP DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ONCE IT HITS ABOVE 45 MILES AN HOUR IT WILL START TO SHAKE EXTENSIVELY. I HAVE TO START PUTTING ON THE BREAK IMMEDIATELY TO STOP THE JEEP FROM SHAKING AND REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WITH THE SPEED LIMITS ON THE HIGHWAYS 60 - 75 MILES AN HOUR THE VEHICLE PROBLEM MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO TAKE MANY HIGHWAYS. THIS JEEP IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK AND TRANSPORTING MY CHILDREN. I HAVE AVOIDED OVER 5 NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. IT HAS ALMOST COST ME MY JOB BECAUSE OF HAVING TO AVOID TRAVELING IN THE JEEP. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT 45 MPH, HIT A BUMP AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY THAT I WAS CONVINCED A WHEEL WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE BUT COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ONLINE I FOUND OUT THAT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE KNOWN AS A "DEATH WOBBLE." I WAS LUCKY IN THAT I WAS DRIVING ON A RARELY TRAVELED BACK ROAD WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED, HAD THIS HAPPENED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY I COULD SEE THIS AS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING WITH GAS. *TR

FUEL SPLASH OUT OF FILLER HOLE, APX 1 PINT. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND ENTERING INTO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SEE AND CRASHED INTO A CULVERT. THE POLICE REPORTED TO THE SCENE AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE ARMS AND LEGS. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THAT AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD COME TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR OVER FOUR YEARS. RECENTLY, I NEEDED TO REMOVE THE SPARE TIRE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND NOTICED A SEVERE CRACK IN THE HOUSING SUPPORT BRACKET THAT CONNECTED THE SPARE TO THE REAR GATE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS BRACKET HAS THREE LUG NUTS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE SPARE AND, BECAUSE OF THE CRACK, ONE OF THE LUGS WAS NOT PROVIDING ANY SUPPORT FOR THE APPROXIMATELY 150-POUND TIRE AND WHEEL. A CRACK AROUND ONE OF THE OTHER TWO LUGS WOULD LIKELY CAUSE A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE HOUSING SUPPORT, AS I DOUBT ONE LUG COULD HOLD THE HEAVY SPARE AND WHEEL. I BELIEVE THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE ENTRANCE TO THE BALTIMORE HARBOR TUNNEL, I HIT A BUMP AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY ON MY JEEP WRANGLER. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND SHOOK VIOLENTLY. I HAD NO PLACE TO STOP, A BUS WAS BEHIND ME, AND I HAD TROUBLE KEEPING MY JEEP IN ONE LANE. SINCE THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PULL OVER, I SLOWED DOWN AND WHEN I REACHED A SPEED BETWEEN 15 TO 20 MILES PER HOUR, THE SHAKING STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON. DURING MY TRIP THAT DAY, I HAD THREE MORE EPISODES OF VIOLENT SHAKING AS I HIT BUMPS IN THE ROAD WHEN I WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 50 AND 60 MILES PER HOUR. I HAD RECENTLY READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR JEEP WRANGLERS, ALTHOUGH I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM BEFORE. MY JEEP IS A 2007 4-DOOR WRANGLER WHICH ONLY HAS 10,400 MILES ON IT BECAUSE I USUALLY KEEP IT GARAGED AT A BEACH HOME IN DELAWARE AND I USE IT ONLY DURING SUMMER WEEKENDS. THE JEEP IS A STOCK MODEL WITH NO AFTER MARKET MODIFICATIONS. I HAD DRIVEN IT HOME TO MARYLAND TO HAVE A DEALER CHECKUP BEFORE I RETURNED THE JEEP TO THE BEACH. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED ON MY THIRD TRIP AFTER THE DEALER SERVICE BUT IT WAS MY FIRST TRIP DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND SHE AND I WERE EXTREMELY DISTURBED AND CONSIDER THIS ISSUE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. SINCE MY RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, I FEEL STRONGLY THE NTSB SHOULD TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO HAVE CHRYSLER A

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 40-45MPH MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE HIT A BUMP. WHEN THAT HAPPENED THE ENTIRE FRONT END BEGAN TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY THING THAT CURED THE ISSUE WAS TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE. ONCE IT GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 15MPH IT FINALLY STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS JEEP. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED TIE RODS AND A STEERING DAMPENER BUT IT'S NEVER GONE AWAY COMPLETELY. *TR

WHILE FILLING IT WITH GAS, IT OVERFLOWS AND THEN CLICKS OFF AFTER IT HAS SPILLED ENOUGH TO REACH THE GROUND. MAYBE 2 CUPS OF GAS GOES ALL OVER THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, AND ONTO THE GROUND. I CAN HEAR AIR PRESSURE SOMETIMES JUST BEFORE IT SPURTS GAS, BUT NOT SOON ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE SPILL. THIS CONDITION HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED NOW. *TT

THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE SHAKING WAS SO EXTREME, THE CONSUMER WOULD LOSE THE ABILITY TO FULLY CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND WOULD BE FORCE TO SLOW DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. UPDATED 06/21/12

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SUDDENLY STALLED WARNING. THE FAILURE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED AND THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 53,000.

THIS JEEP IS A DEATH TRAP AND A MONEY TRAP. MY FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED FEB 16TH, 2011 AND COST 600.00. NEEDED A NEW STEERING DAMPNER WHICH THEY REPLACED. TWO MONTHS LATER SAME THING HAPPENS AND THEY REPLACE THE SAME PIECE WITH THE NEWER STEERING DAMPNER. TWO DAYS AGO THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN AND NOW I NEED TO SPEND MORE MONEY TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM. RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND IT'S CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" HAD I KNOWN THIS EXISTED I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR, I FEEL SO UNSAFE IN THIS CAR. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP AND WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO NOT BUY ONE. THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED FOR FREE, AND THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE SUED FOR MAKING CARS THAT ARE THIS UNSAFE. *JS

ON A ROCKY ROAD AT RAUCH CREEK OFFROAD PARK IN TREMONT, PA. I WAS STOPPED WAITING FOR MY FRIEND TO GIVE ME DIRECTIONS. HE NOTICED WHAT HE FIRST THOUGHT WAS STEAM COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IN FACT IT WAS SMOKE. WITHIN ONE MINUTE FLAMES WERE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WITHIN TWO MINUTES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED. I INJURED MYSELF IN MY HASTE TO GET OUT OF THE BURNING VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE PHOTO'S AND VIDEOS AVAILABLE OF THE INCIDENT. *JS

WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHES APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGINS SHAKE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE HUB ON THE FRONT AXLE WHICH WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I HAD IT ALIGNED & THE WHEELS BALANCED, WHICH HELPED A LITTLE, BUT IT WAS STILL SHAKING. TWO MONTHS LATER I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY'RE REPLACING ALL THE BALL JOINTS AND THE PASSENGER SIDE HUB ON THE FRONT AXLE. I HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE UPPER BALL JOINTS PREVIOUSLY. *JS

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER, AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR, I WAS DRIVING AT 25MPH. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO HYANNIS TRANSMISSION #2. IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURIES, OR DEATH TO A PERSON, OR PERSONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE THEN BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE STEERING DAMPENER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT DESIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000. *JS

THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER STALLED, LOST POWER BRAKES, LOST POWER STEERING. TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT TURN OVER. WE NOTICED FLAMES SHOOTING UP OUTSIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALL 4 OF US CLIMBED OUT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I TRIED TO OPEN THE HOOD AND FLAMES CAME BURSTING OUT. WITHIN 2 MINUTES THE WHOLE VEHICLE ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FLAMES WERE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE. IT TOOK THE FIRE DEPARTMENT NEARLY 2 HOURS TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

WHILE FILLING UP FUEL TANK TO FULL AND USING THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF SUPPLIED BY ALL FUEL STATIONS THE GAS WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE FILLER NECK FOR 1-2 SECONDS BEFORE ACTUALLY STOPPING THE FLOW OF THE FUEL. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD WOBBLE VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

EVERY TIME THAT I FILL MY VEHICLE UP WITH FUEL IT OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. AT FIRST, I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMPS AT THE GAS STATION I NORMALLY GO TO, BUT RECENTLY I'VE STARTED TO GO TO A NEW GAS STATION AND THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING. WHAT FINALLY BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTENTION WAS THAT I WAS FILLING UP, AND SOMEONE WITH THE SAME YEAR (2007) JEEP WAS GETTING GAS RIGHT NEXT TO ME AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM. I KNOW 2 OTHER PEOPLE WITH JEEP WRANGLERS AND THEIRS ARE DOING THE SAME THING. I'D BE WILLING TO BET MOST HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT'S NOT ONLY BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, IT'S A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS WELL. *KB

WHILE FILLING UP WITH GAS THE JEEP WILL SHOOT APPROX. 1/2 GL. OF GAS BACK OUT THE FILLER NECK. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. NOW OVER THE COARSE OF TWO YEARS IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME AT FILL UP. MY WIFE AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN SPRAYED BY GAS THAT HAS SHOT BACK OUT. JEEP HAS PLACED A TSB/RECALL ON CERTAIN BUILD DATES BUT MY BUILD DATE DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THOSE DATES. *TR *JS

ALL COMPLETE FILLS OF GAS IN THE TANK CREATES A SPILLOVER. NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN IT NEARS FULL OTHERWISE A MINIMUM OF A CUP OF FUEL SPILLS. THE SHUTOFF ON THE PUMP IS NOT RECOGNIZED. HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS. NOTICE NUMEROUS OTHER POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER THAT HAS A VIOLENTLY SHIMMY OR A SO CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE". IT HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I'VE COME TO FIND OUT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG JEEP OWNERS WHICH THE CHRYSLER CO. REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THE PROBLEM STILL ISN'T FIXED. TO MY DISMAY, THE HAVE NO PROBLEM CHARGING ME FOR THEIR INEFFECTIVE ATTEMPTS. MY MODEL JEEP, AS WELL AS OTHERS, NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND MY MONEY REFUNDED. *TR

THE VEHICLE BEGAN A VIOLENT SHIMMY, THAT YOU COULD ONLY HOLD ON THE STEERING WHEEL FOR DEAR LIFE, UNTIL YOU HAD ALMOST STOPPED UNTIL IT WAS UNDER CONTROL. HAVE NOW LEARNED, COMMONLY REFERRED TO THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE STEERING STABILIZER WAS REPLACED AT DEALERS RECOMMENDATION, BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE ARE STILL WORKING ON A RESOLUTION, BUT IT IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT THEN PULLED OVER AND STARTED TO REVERSE WHEN THE SHAKING STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A BODY SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSE THAT THE CONTROL BAR AND THE STEERING WERE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,900 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,034.

MY WRANGLER WAS MANUFACTURED 2/07- I PURCHASED IT USED IN 2/12. EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK, GAS SPILLS OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PUMP STOPS. DAIMLER CHRYSLER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS AN ISSUE DESPITE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM 2007-08 WRANGLER OWNERS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. WHEN THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR, THE CONTACT WOULD SLIGHTLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AS NORMAL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE STABILIZER BAR AND STEERING DAMPENER WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPENER AND STABILIZER BAR, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SHAKE WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND LIGHTS FAILED TO WORK DURING ICY RAIN/SNOWY CONDITIONS. ROAD VISIBILITY WAS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRED AND I COULDN'T SEE MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO CONTINUE HOME AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING WITHOUT WIPERS, THE WIPERS SUDDENLY TURNED ON BY THEMSELVES, MOVING VERY FAST. I COULD NOT ADJUST THE WIPER SPEED AT ALL. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME AND TURNED THE JEEP OFF AND REMOVED THE KEYS, WIPERS STILL WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO STOP THE WIPERS. DEALER CLAIMS IT WAS A FAULTY WIPER MOTOR. I ADVISED THEM I THINK IT'S A FAULTY TIPM BASED ON WHAT I RESEARCHED/READ ONLINE. THEY ASSURED ME THE TIPM WAS WORKING FINE. WHEN THEY ORDERED AND INSTALLED THE NEW WIPER MOTOR, IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY THEN ADMITTED THEY WERE WRONG WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC AND THE TIPM WAS FAULTY. THEY ADVISED ME THAT I NEED A NEW TIPM AND THAT ALL TIPMS ARE ON NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER. SEEMS TIPM FAILURE IS A RECURRING THEME AMONGST CERTAIN JEEP WRANGLER MODELS. IF YOUR LIGHTS AND WIPERS CAN GO OUT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO COMPLAIN AND HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY BRAKING AND VIBRATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE STEERING STABILIZER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK WHILE REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE CHECK VALVE IN FUEL TANK FAILED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,500. THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE HAPPENED FOUR TO FIVE TIMES OVER SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE USING THE AUTO SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP OR HAND FILLING THE TANK. GAS SPILLED OUT OF THE FILLER AREA, DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE CONSUMER'S SHOES. IT WAS DETERMINED THE CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK FAILED. UPDATED 04/18/12

MY ISSUE IS THE LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL USED, 1 QT USED PER 2500 MILES. THIS IS WHAT THE DEALERSHIP AND JEEP TOLD ME. NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION: BELOW ARE INDUSTRY STANDARDS FOR NORMAL ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION: MILEAGE BELOW 50,000: NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION IS ONE QUART FOR EACH 1,000 MILES DRIVEN. MILEAGE ABOVE 50,000: NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION IS ONE QUART FOR EACH 750 MILES DRIVEN. SO, AS LONG AS A JEEP WITH 50000 OR MORE MILES ON IT DOES NOT USE MORE THAN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750 MILES THEY DO NOT CARE, AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT WHY NEW JEEPS TAKE 6 QT'S SINCE THEY USE SO MUCH OIL. I EVEN HAVE A WARRANTY AND THEY STILL WILL NOT FIX IT. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS AND I HAVE HAD 2 OIL CONSUMPTION TEST RAN ON THE VEHICLE BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I AM LUCKY IT DOES NOT USE A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES, SINCE IT MAY GET LOW ENOUGH TO BURN THE ENGINE UP IN UNDER 2500 MILES. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE AND CONSUMED OIL PREMATURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE POLLUTION CONTROL VALVE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE HEAD GASKET FAILED AND THE SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 02/14/12*LJ UPDATED 02/17/12

FOR YOUR URGENT REVIEW AND ACTION: I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45 MPH AND THE FRONT WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL OF MY JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY! I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING OF THE JEEP. I LOOKED UP ON THE INTERNET THIS PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED MUCH INFORMATION INCLUDING VIDEOS THAT DESCRIBE THIS VIOLENT SHAKE AS THE "DEATH WABBLE". THIS VIOLENT SHAKE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WHEN I GET UP TO SPEEDS BETWEEN 45MP AND 60MPH. SO FAR I HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING STABALIZER SHOCK AND NOW MY JEEP IS BACK IN THE SHOP AT A LOCAL TIRE AND FRONT-END SERVICE CENTER GETTING NEW TIRES, WHEEL BALANCING AND A FRONT-END ALIGNMENT. BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE, THE SERVICE CENTER SAID THEY WILL NOT "TEST DRIVE" THE JEEP AFTER THIS WORK IS COMPLETE BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO PUT THEIR EMPLOYEES LIVES AT RISK. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR ME IF I CAN'T EVEN HAVE A SERVICE PROVIDER TEST DRIVE MY VEHICLE AFTER THEY DO THEIR WORK BECAUSE THEY FEAR SOMETHING TERRIBLE COULD HAPPEN TO THEIR LIVES. IT MAKES ME VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS JEEP. I AM REQUESTING THAT CHRYSLER-JEEP IMMEDIATELY REVIEW THE FIXES OF MY JEEP (INCLUDING A TEST DRIVE) WHEN I GET THE JEEP BACK AND THAT THEY COVER MY EXPENSES THUS FAR TO FIX THE "DEATH WABBLE" PLUS ANY ADDITIONAL WORK THAT THEY MAY NEED TO DO TO MAKE MY JEEP SAFE TO DRIVE BY ELIMINATING THIS VIOLENT SHAKING PROBLEM. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE, WITH THIS VIOLENT SHAKING ISSUE THAT CREATES LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, MEETS AUTO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE STEERING DAMPER SEAL WAS FRACTURED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER SEAL AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

WHEN FILLING UP, GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF FILLER NECK. DOES NOT MATTER ABOUT FUEL FLOW BEING FAST OR SLOW. *TR

AT BETWEEN 35-40 MPH, WHEN A BUMP IS HIT WITH ONE WHEEL BEFORE THE OTHER A SHAKING BEGINS IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. AT TIMES THIS SHAKING IS SO VIOLENT AND SUSTAINED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS BE BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP. THERE IS SOME KIND OF APPARENT HARMONIC OSCILLATION THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED FOR IT TO BE AS VIOLENT AND SUSTAINED AS IT IS. I INITIALLY REPORTED THIS TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP IN 2008, AFTER THE STEERING STABILIZER BRACKET BROKE OFF THE FRONT AXLE OF THE JEEP. I WAS TOLD THAT MY PROBLEMS WERE BECAUSE THE LIFT KIT THAT WAS INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE WAS NOT A MOPAR APPROVED KIT. JEEPS RESOLUTION WAS FOR ME TO PURCHASE A NEW FRONT AXLE AT MY COST AND REPLACE THE LIFT KIT THAT WAS ON THE VEHICLE. THE LIFT WAS PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED AND IS ONE OF THE TOP KITS ON THE MARKET. SINCE THIS TIME, I HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER ABOUT EVERY 10K-12K MILES. EACH TIME THE I DO, THIS REDUCES THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. EACH TIME I HAVE DISCUSSED THE ISSUE WITH A JEEP SERVICE CENTER, I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A LIFT ISSUE AND NOT JEEP'S PROBLEM. FROM THE MANY COMPLAINTS THAT I CONTINUE TO READ ON JEEP FORUMS IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE, I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION/STEERING SYSTEM ON THE JK. I HAVE READ REPORTS FROM PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS WITH THE STOCK SUSPENSION, AS WELL AS A VARIETY OF LIFT SYSTEMS AND TIRE/RIM CONFIGURATIONS. IF THERE IS SOME WAY TO FIX THIS THAT JEEP IS AWARE OF, THEY

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED AND SPILLS GAS ON OPERATOR AND GROUND. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT JEEP USED. FIRST TIME I FILLED UP THE PUMP CUT OFF AND THEN THERE WAS A SURGE OF GAS THAT SPEWED OUT. ON SECOND REFILL TODAY AT A DIFFERENT STATION WITH NEW PUMPS SAME THING HAPPENED GAS SPEWED UNDER SUCH FORCE IT WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN EYES HAD I NOT HAD SUNGLASSES ON. SPILLAGE WAS OVER A LITER AND WAS ALL OVER CLOTHING AND ATTENDANT HAD TO SPREAD ABSORBENT. *TR

JUST PURCHASED THIS JEEP USED, EXCELLENT CONDITION FEW DAYS AGO JAN. 2012. MAJOR FUEL SPITTING BACK UPON FILLING THE TANK. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AS EXPECTED AND THEN THERE IS A HUGE GUSH OF GAS THAT COMES OUT AFTER ALL OVER ME, THE SIDE OF JEEP, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND A FIRE CONCERN! THE SECOND ATTEMPT AT FUELING I TRIED SLOWING THE SPEED OF GAS AND NOT FILLING ALL THE WAY --- SAME THING HAPPENED. JEEP DEALER ACTS THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS. A LIE. I'VE EMAILED CHRYSLER AND THEY ALSO ARE ACTING LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A COPY OF A LETTER THEY HAVE SENT TO PREVIOUS OWNERS ABOUT IT STATING THEY WOULD REPAIR THIS FUEL SPITBACK ISSUE. APPARENTLY, MY PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOTHING! I'VE NOW READ ALL OF THE REPORTS AND CLAIMS. TOO BAD WE DIDN'T KNOW THIS BEFORE. I AM AFRAID TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THIS JEEP AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT FOR A WEEK. YOU DON'T THINK IT'S A RECALL? I NEED THIS FIXED! WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO ISSUE A RECALL? A FIRE, EXPLOSION? OR DO YOU NEED TO WAIT FOR A DEATH FIRST? WOULD YOU LIKE A VIDEO OF THIS FUEL SPITTING BACK OUT OF THE SIDE OF MY NEW JEEP? I WOULD BE GLAD TO FILM IT FOR YOU AS PROOF! IT'S NOT JUST A LITTLE FUEL --- IT'S A GUSH! WAKE UP, OKAY? I AM A NEW OWNER AND NOBODY AND NO INTERNET SITES OR SOCIAL MEDIA B.S. IS INFLUENCING ME. I NEED HELP AND SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE WITH THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR
