Summary

Bought my jeep in July. On 6 different occasions now it starts vibrating really bad. I can't get it to stop, can't steer it. I've heard of the death wobble and I'm pretty sure this is what's happening. I have an appointment Tuesday August 24 to put a new stabilizer on it. Has there been a recall on my jeep that wasn't fixed properly. It's a dangerous situation when it happens because I have no control over my vehicle at all. I've been lucky so far that it's happened in places that there were no other vehicles in front of me. There's no way I could stop if there was. I have no way of knowing if the stabilizer will fix the problem.

Summary

I bought my 2007 Jeep Wrangler in November 2020. It had approximately 122,000 miles on it and has the 6 speed manual transmission. After driving it for 7 days, I was backing out of a parking spot and heard a loud squeal and was unable to shift gears. It had to have the clutch replaced along with the flywheel and several other clutch associated parts. The total was $1,600. The salesman at the dealership where I bought it told me as I was buying it that there is no warranty but if something happens in the first couple of weeks that he would work with us. Of course he did NOT help me. He wouldn't even return my phone calls. Whatever, buyer beware! Second issue is of course the fuel spit back problem. Every time I fill up, I end up with gas on the Jeep and on the ground. I love wasting money like that. There is apparently a recall on this issue but your website says my vehicle has no recalls. Third issue is all the door hinges are rusting really bad. I saw that there were several service bulletins on the proper procedures for replacing those hinges. Those should be replaced by the dealer at no cost.

TIMP HAS GONE BAD. CAUSES ALL GAUGES TO QUIT WORKING, STALLS ENGINE DURING OPERATIING, DOOR LOCKS AND SECURITY SYSTEM INOPERABLE, HEADLIGHTS WORK THEN DON'T WORK. LIGHTS COME ON EVEN IF SWITCH IS OFF. WINDOW MOTORS QUIT WORKING. THE WELL KNOWN FAILURE OF THE TIMP IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY ALL JEEP WRANGLER SERIES DATING AS FAR BACK AS 2006, HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED NOR FIXED BY CHRYSLER. THIS TIMP FAILURE IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE RECALL FORCED UPON CHRYSLER/DAIMLER/JEEP. MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER JKU TIMP QUIT WORKING, WHILST I WAS DRIVING. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT OF WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY, AND/OR DEATH. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO PHYSICALLY THROUGH THE DISABLED POWER STEERING TO STOP VEHICLE. THROUGH MY RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE PLAGUING NEARLY EVERY JEEP WRANGLER PRODUCED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I WONDER IF ANYONE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH OR DAMAGE COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THE TIMP. I AM GOING TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE WITH THE NORTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND NC AND US ATTORNEY'S GENERAL'S OFFICE AS WELL. THIS HAS TO BE FIXED NOW WITH IMMEDIATE RECALL FORCING CHRYSLER/DAIMLER/JEEP TO FIX THE TIMP.

I HAVE A CURRENT RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IN MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE AIRBAG IS CURRENTLY NOT OPERATIONAL. EVERY 1-2 MINUTES WHILE DRIVE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL COME ON AND DING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT MAKES THE VEHICLE INCREDIBLY ANNOYING TO DRIVE. A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED THE ERROR CODES AND THEY SAID THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING RECALL AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO BE FIXED. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: S33 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 16V-290 I WAITED FOR THE FIRST AVAILABLE APPOINTMENT AND TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AUTONATION ARAPAHOE JEEP IN CENTENNIAL, COLORADO TODAY. THEY SAID IT WILL BE A YEAR AND A HALF OR MORE BEFORE THE PART IS IN STOCK. THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE UNTIL THEN. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE THE MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGE A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG AND I HAVE TO WAIT A YEAR AND A HALF TO GET IT FIXED. SADLY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE TO GET IT FIXED. ASIDE FROM PAYING $500 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP FIX IT. WHICH IS WHAT THEY QUOTED ME FOR. AND SAID THEY COULD THE PART IN STOCK TO REPAIR IN 2 DAYS.

Summary

PURCHASED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER IN 2015 AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH FUEL SPLASHING FROM GAS TANK WHEN FILLING UP. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. FUEL SHOULD STOP ONCE TANK IS FULL. I HAVE NOTICED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY JEEP WRANGLER (JK) OWNERS AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF A RECALL IS IN EFFECT OR HOW IT CAN BE FIXED. BOTTOM LINE I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL DEALERS INQUIRING ABOUT PART CNNNX321AC, WHICH IS A RECALL PART #, BUT THEY CAN'T SELL IT TO ME. SO, IF I CAN'T BUY THE PART TO FIX AND THEY HAVE NO RECALL ON THE CAR, IS MY ONLY OPTION AT THIS POINT TO SUE THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION? THIS IS A CAR MY DAUGHTER DRIVES AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT JUST SOME SUPERFICIAL ISSUE WITH JEEP. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME SHE GOES TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL THE JEEP. SMELLING LIKE PETROLEUM AFTER EVERY FILLING OF TANK IS NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER. *TR

Summary

THIS IS A SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE. FROM STOP INTO FIRST GEAR, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR INTO PARTIAL NEUTRAL. THERE IS NO BINDING APPARENT FROM ANY OF THE DUST BOOTS ON THE SHIFTER LEVER. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE LATE 2009. IT WAS STORED FOR A YEAR AND ONLY DRIVEN MONTHLY FOR SHORT PERIODS. UPON RETURN FROM MY DEPLOYMENT I DROVE THIS VEHICLE AS MY DAILY DRIVER UP TO CURRENT. THE HOTTER THE WEATHER, THE MORE THE TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF GEAR. EVER SINCE I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE, IT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. IT VIOLENTLY POPS OUT IF FIRST GEAR 1 TO 2 TIMES A WEEK; OCCASIONALLY MORE. IT IS NOW BECOMING MORE APPARENT THAT THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE ISSUE. RECENTLY, WHEN TRYING TO MAKE LEFT HAND TURNS ACROSS TRAFFIC, IT WOULD POP OUT OF GEAR AND I WOULD QUICKLY HAVE TO RECOVER AND GET IT BACK INTO GEAR BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC APPROACHED. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF BLOGS AND INTERNET POSTS STATING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE STATED BY HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER JEEP OWNERS OF SIMILAR YEARS AND REFERENCING HAVING TO CHANGE OUT 1 AND 2 GEAR SYNCHROS ACCORDING TO A JEEP BULLETIN. SO, IF JEEP KNOWS IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE, THEN WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? OTHERS WERE LUCKY TO GET REPAIRS FOR FREE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE MAJORITY OF OWNERS WERE OUT OF WARRANTY, SIMILAR TO ME. SINCE THIS IS SUCH A PREDOMINANT MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, THEN THIS IS CLEARLY A NEED FOR A RECALL FOR THOSE THAT NEED/REQUIRE THE REPAIR. HISTORY WISE, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2009 WITH 15703 MILES ON IT. BY APPROX. FEBRUARY 2011 WHEN I STARTED DRIVING IT DAILY AND AT ABOUT 17000 MILES THE ISSUE STARTED. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 89800 MILES ON IT.

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER HAS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE DEATH WOBBLE! I HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT UNTIL IT DID IT WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH SUBURB STREET AND I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR HELP. THE JEEP OWNERS COMMUNITY NAMED IT THE DEATH WOBBLE BECAUSE IT LITERALLY WOBBLES AND SHAKES WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS, WITHOUT ANYTHING TRIGGERING IT, ON EVERY TYPE OF ROAD, AND AT EVERY SPEED. AFTER IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY SON IN THE CAR WITH ME, I NO LONGER ALLOWED MY CHILDREN TO RIDE IN THE JEEP AT ALL. WE ALMOST DIED THAT DAY AS IT SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY ALMOST PUTTING US IN THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE! WE MISSED GETTING T-BONED BY AN 18 WHEELER BY JUST A HAIR. IT WAS SO FRIGHTENING! THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT SAID THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT AND THAT IT WAS VERY COMMON. HOW IS SUCH A DANGER COMMON??? HOW CAN THESE VEHICLES BE LEGALLY SOLD?? THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ALONE AND I ENDED UP IN A DITCH. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE OUT OF THE DITCH AND WENT TO NEARBY AUTO SHOP. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE ENGINE "SLING A ROD" THEY SAID. FOR 3 MONTHS NOW, I HAVE BEEN MAKING PAYMENTS ON A JEEP SITTING DEAD IN AN AUTO SHOP. AS A SINGLE MOM I CAN'T AFFORD SUCH A HUGE REPAIR AND ROUTE 66 WARRANTY COMPANY DECIDED TO CANCEL MY ALREADY PAID FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I FILED THE CLAIM ON IT. THEY DENIED IT AND SAID THEY'RE CANCELING ME. THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. PLEASE HELP!!

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED TO OCCASIONALLY AND VIOLENTLY POP OUT OF FIRST GEAR. THE ISSUE ONLY HAPPENS FROM A STANDSTILL INTO A ROLLING START SUCH AS AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AS I COULD EASILY BE REAR ENDED IN BUSY TRAFFIC. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IN THE DIFFERENT WRANGLER FORUMS, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THERE IS A DETAILED TSB REGARDING THIS REPAIR. I KNOW STARTING IN 2008, THE JEEPS CAME WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE POWERTRAIN. I'M INQUIRING TODAY AS TO WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR THOSE OF US WITH THE '07. IT'S THE SAME MOTOR, SAME TRANSMISSION AS THE 08-2010 MODELS. I ONLY HAVE 124K MILES ON IT, AND HAVE OWNED THE JEEP FOR 10 YEARS. THE TSB RELATED INVOLVES REPLACING FIRST GEAR, AND THE 1/2 SYNCHROS. I HAVE ALREADY REACHED OUT TO JEEP/FCA AND WAS REFERRED BACK TO JUST SEEK REPAIR. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT JEEP/CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM/ COMMON DEFECT IN ENGINEERING, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE MODEL YEAR JK AFTER '07 CAME WITH THE LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY.

THE VEHICLE JUMPS OUT OF GEAR OFTEN WHEN BEGINNING ACCELERATION WHILE IN FIRST GEAR AND SOMETIMES WHEN TURNING WHILE IN THIRD GEAR. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT. IT COULD HAVE PARTICULARLY DEADLY CONSEQUENCES WHEN STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP AND PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR TURNING IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC (OF COURSE WHEN GIVEN PLENTY OF TIME AND SPACE AND YIELDING OF RIGHT OF WAY TO OTHER VEHICLES), IF IT WERE TO LEAVE YOU STOPPED ALL OF A SUDDEN AFTER POPPING OUT OF GEAR. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THAT JEEP AND DEALERSHIPS DENY THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WHEN IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A DECADE NOW WITH NO OFFICIAL FIX OR RECALL. WE'VE "LEARNED" TO DRIVE IT WITH THIS DYSFUNCTION, BUT THIS SHOULD BE LEADING TO WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUITS IF IT EVER CAUSED SUCH.

Summary

THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY MY CAR DIED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD RAN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS ON. I FILLED UP WITH THE GAS CAN AND THE JEEP DID NOT START. I TRIED TO JUMP IT USING CABLES AND IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY, THE JEEP STARTED AFTER THAT. YESTERDAY I GOT AN OIL CHANGE, THEY CHECKED MY BATTERY AND SHOWED ME THE OIL AFTER THE CHANGE, SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOLDEN. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME WHEN MY BATTERY LIGHT POPPED ON AGAIN, I KIND OF SHOOK IT OFF CONSIDERING I JUST REPLACED IT. WELL MY CAR JERKED ME FORWARD, EVERY SINGLE LIGHT TURNED ON AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGH WAY AS MUCH AS I COULD AND MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I GOT IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THE ISSUE WAS MY "TIPM" AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GET IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. AS I GOOGLED WHAT THAT WAS REGARDING MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO FOR MY JEEP SPECIFICALLY.

VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND PUT ITSELF INTO LIMP MODE UPON DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A 3 WEEK PERIOD. OBD-II THREW CODES PERTAINING TO FAILING SENSORS IN EGR, CAMSHAFT AND ACCELERATION PEDAL. READ MANY ONLINE FORUMS ABOUT OTHER WITH JEEP AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVING FAULTY TIPM UNITS. MY CAR WILL NOW NOT RUN WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE IT'S BEING STARVED OF FUEL. I FEAR THE BAD TIPM MAY HAVE ALSO CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO GO BAD. CHRYSLER WAS LESS THAN HELPING IN SUGGESTING I BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND WAS TOLD MY WARRANTY (IF I EVEN HAD ONE STILL VALID) COULD BE VOIDED FOR BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A SHOP MY FRIEND OWNS FOR THE REPAIRS INSTEAD OF A DEALERSHIP. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED IT TWO YEARS AGO. I'M IN THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN NON ROUTINE REPAIRS AND OWE TOO MUCH ON IT TO WALK AWAY FROM IT. IT'S MY DAILY DRIVER AND HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK OR AROUND.

ALSO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GETTING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD OR SOMETIMES STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY! FINALLY, THE RIGHT BLINKER WOULDN'T WORK AND THAT PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE RELATED TO THE BROKEN LOCKING/UNLOCKING SYSTEM. AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS 5 TIMES (EACH TIME THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT IT WASN'T), AFTER REPLACING THE TIPM AND ALL THE WIPER MOTOR PARTS AND REPROGRAMMING EVERYTHING PROPERLY, IT IS NOW A FUNCTIONAL CAR AGAIN!

Summary

MY JEEP WITH 86K MILES ENGINE BLEW. ONE WEEK EARLIER WHEN DRIVING OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR IT SEEMED TO WOBBLE A BIT FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON. I HAVE ONLY OWNED IT FOR A MONTH AND IT IS A 2ND VEHICLE AND I WAS NOT SURE IF THAT WAS NORMAL OR NOT. THEN AFTER NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS I MOVED IT OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS LESS THEN A BLOCK FROM MY HOME WHEN THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND HALF A BLOCK LATER THE ENGINE CUT OUT. THE CAR WOULDNT START AGAIN AND I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY TOLD ME THE INTERNAL FUEL PUMP SEEMED TO MALFUNCTION AND THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN! WHEN I RETURNED HOME I NOTICED A POOL OF OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS CAR SAT FOR DAYS AND WAS BARELY DRIVEN BY ME SINCE MY PURCHASE. HOW DOES AN ENGINE AT 86K MILES JUST BLOW? HOW DOES OIL JUST DUMP OUT OF A VEHICLE? WHY? WELL DOING INTERNET RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT THIS 2007 ENGINE YEAR THERE WAS A MISTAKE IN THE ENGINES WHERE PISTONS WERE PUT IN UPSIDE DOWN? THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS AND MANY 2007 JEEPS HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN. I AM LUCKY IT HAPPENED ON A LOCAL ROAD, IF I WAS DRIVING 65 IN MIDDLE LANE OF A HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF I WOULD BE DEAD. I COULDNT STEER IT. IT JUST STOPPED..... I HAVE TRIED CALLING CHRYSLER AND HAVE BEEN TRANSFERED MANY TIMES TO OTHER PEOPLE, I AM AT A LOSS OF WHAT TO DO. AGAIN, I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE 1.5 MONTHS...

Summary

ON MONDAY OCTOBER 16, 2017 I STARTED MY JEEP TO LEAVE FOR WORK. AS I BACKED OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE AT MY APARTMENT AND FELT THE BRAKE PEDAL GO TO THE FLOOR. I ALMOST HIT A NEARBY CAR BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR INTO AN OPPOSITE PARKING SPACE AND THE CURB HELPED ME STOP THE CAR. I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR THE DAY BEFORE WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A NEARBY REPAIR CENTER. THE MECHANIC CALLED ME TO EXPLAIN THAT THE BRAKE CABLE HAD CORRODED AND THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND OLDER JEEP THAT HE HAD SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE SUGGESTED THAT I NOTIFY YOU TO REPORT THIS ISSUE. I'M COUNTING MY BLESSINGS THAT THIS HAPPENED IN MY PARKING LOT AND NOT A FEW MINUTES LATER WHEN I WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. THE TOTAL COST OF MY REPAIR WAS $446 BECAUSE THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN REDESIGNED ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC. IT IS MY HOPE THAT ENOUGH OF THESE PROBLEMS WILL BE REPORTED AND THAT JEEP WILL CONDUCT A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM ATTACHING A PICTURE OF MY DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE AND ALSO A COPY OF MY REPAIR BILL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION OR WHAT STEPS I CAN TAKE TO ENSURE THAT NO ONE ELSE WILL HAVE THIS POTENTIAL FAILURE OF THEIR BRAKES CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Summary

TAKADA RECALL. I RECENTLY HAD MY RECALLED DEFECTIVE TAKADA AIR BAG REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT ANTWERPEN JEEP IN CATONSVILLE MD. AFTER REPLACING THE AIR BAG, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS STILL ON IN MY VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE LIGHT FOR $135.00. I REFUSED TO PAY THIS BECAUSE THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING UNDER WARRANTY AND I INFORMED THEM OF MY AIR BAG LIGHT PROBLEM THEN. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $200.00 AT THAT TIME TO DIAGNOSE THE SYSTEM THAT THEY HAD JUST WORKED ON. I NOW FEEL THAT I CANNOT TRUST THIS DEALERSHIP TO WORK MY VEHICLE FOR THESE SAFETY ISSUES. THIS JEEP HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM I HAVE HAD SINCE I BOUGHT THIS JEEP NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2006 FROM ANTWERPEN JEEP OF CATONSVILLE. THANK YOU

I THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD GAS PUMP. ON THE NEXT FILL UP, IT DID IT AGAIN. I LOOKED ON GOOGLE AND I FIND THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND HAS NOT DONE A RECALL ON THIS. ON SOME OF THEIR OTHER VEHICLES BUT NOT THIS ONE. I AM HOPING THAT NOT ONLY CAN YOU GET CHRYSLER TO FIX MINE, BUT FORCE TO TO DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.

I OPENED THE DOOR TO THE JEEP AND THE WIPERS, HORN AND WIPER FLUID ENGAGED NON-STOP WITHOUT A KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THEM WAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. WHEN THE BATTERY CABLES ARE RECONNECTED, THE HORN, WIPERS AND WIPER FLUID SPRAYER ARE AGAIN ENGAGED. ON QUICK RESEARCH, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN TIPM FAILURE ISSUE THAT CAN ALSO EFFECT THE AIRBAG (PREVENTING DEPLOYMENT AS WELL AS RANDOMLY ENGAGING IT WHILE DRIVING), FUEL INJECTION CAUSING SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND VEHICLE CONTROL AS WELL AS ISSUES WITH LIGHTS AND GAUGES. ISSUES WERE SEVERE ENOUGH TO ISSUE A RECALL ON 2007 YEAR MODELS BUT SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE 2008 ARE NOT ADDRESSED. I WAS FORTUNATE THE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE WHEN THE TIPM FAILED AND NOT DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

IF YOU PULL INTO AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A TURN, AND ARE NOT HOLDING THE SHIFTER WITH ENOUGH FORCE AND IT POPS OUT OF GEAR, YOU MIGHT GET HIT BY AN ONCOMING CAR, SINCE YOU'VE STOPPED GOING FORWARD. PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE CAR BEHIND YOU MIGHT SLAM INTO YOU, BECAUSE YOU STARTED TO GO THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED GOING FORWARD. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THESE MANUAL TRANSMISSION WRANGLERS - THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS NOT A RANDOM OCCURRANCE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME.

Summary

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE (R13/NHTSA 15V-222) FOR CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH. I REMOVED THE PART (1 CLIP AND ONE CONNECTOR) AND TRIED TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART AT LOCAL DEALER. THEY ATTEMPTED TO CHARGE FOR THE PART AND I ASKED FOR NO CHARGE DUE TO RECALL. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME THE PART BECAUSE I "MIGHT NOT INSTALL IT CORRECTLY". THEY WANTED ME TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR (PUT THE PART BACK IN AND DRIVE TO THE DEALER, WHICH GAVE THEM ENOUGH FAITH THAT I COULD PLUG IT IN?). I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT AT DEALER TO HAVE A PART PLUGGED IN, SO CONTACTED FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE. DEBATE ENSUED REGARDING WHAT FCA WILL AND WILL NOT PAY FOR. I PROPOSED THAT I WILL BUY THE PART AND SUBMIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT I MIGHT NOT BE REIMBURSED. AFTER REVIEW OF TITLE 49, I CALLED FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE BACK AND CONCEDED SOME ASPECT OF MY ORIGINAL ARGUMENT (BASED ON TITLE 49, 30120 (A)(A)(I)) AND OFFERED TO LET THE DEALER COME OVER AND CLIP IN THE PART. OF COURSE, THEY REFUSED AND RECALL ASSISTANCE RECOMMENDED TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, IN ESSENCE, INSTALLING THE SUSPECT PART THEY ARE CONCERNED THAT I MIGHT NOT INSTALL CORRECTLY (THE BASIS FOR REFUSAL TO PROVIDE THE PART), THEN DRIVE TO DEALER). I ASKED IF I THERE WAS SO MUCH CONCERN ABOUT PROPER INSTALLATION, WHY WOULD FCA ENDORSE THE INSTALLATION OF THE OLD PART. FCA THEN RECOMMENDED THAT I PAY TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIR. FIRST OF ALL, SHOULD I BE REIMBURSED FOR THE PART, IF I PURCHASED AND INSTALLED? FCA POSITION IS MAYBE. SECONDLY, WHY IS REIMBURSEMENT AT THE DISCRETION OF FCA?

IN EARLY DECEMBER I WAS NOTIFIED THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE BUT NOW FOR ONLY ONE OF THE AIRBAGS AND THAT WAS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, AS TO THE 2ND AIRBAG, AGAIN THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THERE IS NO KNOWN DATE WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. TO BE TOLD THAT THERE IS A DEFECT AND NOW WAITING OVER 5 MONTHS FOR COMPLETE REPAIR IS NOT RIGHT AND EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING. WHY MAY JEEP TAKE SO LONG TO REPAIR THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM?

Summary

THIS VEHICLE FREQUENTLY EXPERIENCES FUEL "SPIT-BACK" ON FILLING. IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN 10/06, FIVE MONTHS BEFORE THE DATE IN JEEP'S LIFETIME FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT EXTENDED GUARANTY FOR SPIT-BACK. ALSO, THE TANK BEGAN LEAKING AFTER EVERY FILL UP. IT LEAKED ON THE GROUND AND/OR WITH GAS FUMES PRESENT UNTIL THE TANK LEVEL GOT BELOW 1/2 TANK THE LEAK SOURCE WAS WHERE THE FUEL PUMP IS INSERTED INTO THE TOP OF TANK. THE IRON CLAMPS AND LOCK RING FOR THE FUEL PUMP ARE LOCATED IN A DEPRESSED "BOWL" AT THE TOP OF THE TANK. WATER ACCUMULATES AND REMAINS IN THE BOWL CAUSING THE LOCK RING AND CLAMPS TO RUST. THE RUST EXPANDS AND CRACKS THE PLASTIC THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS MADE OF. THE REPAIR REQUIRES REPLACING THE FUEL TANK, LOCK RING, AND FUEL PUMP. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND THESE CONDITIONS CAUSE SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY PROBLEMS. I INFORMED JEEP (CASE NUMBER 30126422) ON 9/15/16 AND THEY DECLINED TO DO ANYTHING. I HAVE SPENT $1,019.60 ON EMERGENCY AND PERMANENT REPAIRS. PHOTOS OF THE TANK AS IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE JEEP SHOWING "THE BOWL" AND RUST, RUSTED CLAMPS, AND CRACKED FUEL PUMP ARE ATTACHED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.

ALL THE WHILE HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMING OFF AND ON POINTING TO EMISSIONS AND FUEL SYSTEM. ANOTHER TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP 07/2015, PULLED CODE P0406, STATED "COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AT THIS TIME." HEAVY GAS SMELL CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. 07/2016 TOOK JEEP TO MECHANIC, PULLED CODES P0456 AND P0486, FOUND THE FUEL TANK VENT TUBE WAS CRACKED AGAIN, NEEDED A NEW FUEL TANK AND EGR VALVE. BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. TANK IS OUT OF WARRANTY, HAVE TO REPLACE THE 22 MONTH OLD FUEL TANK AGAIN. THE FUEL SYSTEM HAS HAD CONSISTENT PROBLEMS FROM INCEPTION. THE HEAVY GAS ODOR AND CRACKED FUEL TANKS POSE A SERIOUS LIFE SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A VEHICLE AND/OR A RESIDENCE CATCHES FIRE. THE CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE TO GAS VAPORS ALONE IS SERIOUS CONCERN DUE TO THE CARCINOGENIC NATURE OF FUEL AND ITS VAPORS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IN VARIOUS JEEP FORUMS ONLINE, THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A SINGULAR EVENT AND IS ACTUALLY QUITE COMMON. MANY JEEP ENTHUSIASTS ARE DIY'ERS AND ARE MODIFYING/JURY RIGGING THE VENT TUBE THEMSELVES INSTEAD OF PAYING FOR A REPLACEMENT TANK, WHICH MEANS THERE ARE A LOT OF JEEPS CAUSING HEIGHTENED EMISSIONS AND POSE FURTHER SAFETY CONCERNS THAT ARE GOING UNREPORTED AND THAT YOU ARE UNAWARE OF.

Summary

I BOUGHT THE 2007 JEEP JK USED WITH APPROXIMATELY 81,000 MILES. SHORTLY, AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE I EXPERIENCED THE JUMP OUT OF GEAR (JOG). IT IS A VERY FRIGHTENING, AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN STARTING IN FIRST GEAR FROM A DEAD STOP. MOST OFTEN, THERE ARE VEHICLES BEHIND YOU, WHEN THE JOG OCCURS THE VEHICLES BEHIND ARE NOT PREPARED FOR YOUR LOSS OF FORWARD MOMENTUM. ON ONE INSTANCE I HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. ON MANY OTHER INSTANCES THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CLOSE CALLS. THE OTHER DANGER IS IF ONE IS PULLING OUT AND CROSSING A TRAFFIC LANE. LOSING FORWARD MOMENTUM CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AS CARS APPROACH FROM EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS A RESULT OF A TRANSMISSION DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY JEEP NO MATTER IF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. IN MOST OF THESE CASES, THERE HAS TO BE SEVERAL RELATED INJURIES BEFORE THESE MANUFACTURERS WILL TAKE ACTION. IT IS ALL A COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS.

CLOCKSPRING RECALL. I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER V6 AUTOMATIC WITH 86000 MILES. AROUND APRIL 25TH 2015 I NOTICED THE AIRBAG DASH LIGHT WOULD LIGHT UP AND DING EVERY FEW MINUTES. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS MODEL JEEP. I TOOK MY JEEP TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK FOR ITS REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED STATING THE CLOCKSPRING WAS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. I ASKED HIM IF THE JEEP WAS COVERED UNDER THE RECENT RECALL AND HE SAID HE "COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ABOUT IT IN HIS SYSTEM". I EXPLAINED WHAT I HAD READ ONLINE ABOUT ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE CLOCKSPRING REPLACEMENT. HE TOLD ME THE ONLY WAY THE DEALERSHIP WOULD FIX IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME $700 IS IF I HAD PROOF OF THE RECALL. ASIDE FROM THIS PROBLEM BEING ANNOYING , I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IF THE AIRBAG WOULD PROPERLY FUNCTION IF MYSELF OR MY WIFE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. ANY HELP WITH THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE VEHICLE HIT SOMETHING ON THE ROAD (SMALL BUMP) WHICH RESULTED IN A VIOLENT SHAKING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SINCED LEARNED THAT THIS CONDITION IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE CONDITION WAS SO VIOLENT I WAS FORCED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST FOUR WEEKS. THE FIRST INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE SECOND INSTANCE I WAS IN A CURVE. THE CONDITION DOES NOT RESOLVE ITSELF ALTHOUGH THE MAGNITUDE OF THE VIBRATION DOES DECREASE WITH SPEED. THE VEHICLE IS UNDRIVABLE WITH THIS CONDITION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 55-70 MPH. THE CONDITION IS INDUCED BY NORMAL UNDULATIONS AND VARIATIONS IN THE ROAD (I.E.: NOT ONLY A HUGE POTHOLE). AFTER STOPPING ON THE SHOULDER AND INSPECTING THE UNDERCARRIAGE I NOTICED NOTHING UNUSUAL. I RESUMED DRIVING HOWEVER, THE CONDITION DID NOT RESOLVE ITSELF AND I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE BELOW 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY (AS I HAD NO OTHER OPTIONS). AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR ~30 MINS I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND THE CONDITION WAS NOT PRESENT. EACH OCCURRENCE WAS RESOLVED THE SAME WAY BY ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO REST. CHRYSLER DID RELEASE A TECHNICAL SERVICE ADVISORY THAT DESCRIBES WHAT TO CHECK. MY ISSUE IS THAT BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ENCOUNTERING PROBLEMS WITH RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE (MY VEHICLE IS AT 65K) THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE VICE THE CONSUMER TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT OR PREMATURELY WORN PARTS.

Summary

I BOUGHT A USED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DR, 4X4 SOFT TOP, IN OCT 20014. IT HAD 82,000 MILES. I HAD NO PREVIOUS BUYING ON THIS MODEL. I DRIVE MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES IN NORTH EAST OHIO. I DRIVE ALMOST 90 MILES, ROUND TRIP, PER WORK WEEK. I NOTICED A SLIGHT BOUNCE IN THE FRONT END, SUSPENSION DURING HIGHWAY POSTED SPEEDS OF 65 MILES PER HOUR. I CHANGED THE THE SHOCKS 4 EA.AFTER MY FRONT STRAIGHT AXIAL BEGAN TO BOUNCE UP AND DOWN, WELL THE BOUNCE WAS WORSE, AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TRYING TO HANDLE ROAD CONDITION, EVEN CHANGING ROUTE, TO AVOID THE BOUNCE, AT HIGHWAY SPEED 60 MILES AND UNDER, IT WAS COLD OUT 40 DEGREES, HEAVY TRAFFIC CHRISTMAS TIME, RUSH HOUR, MY JEEP WENT INTO A RADICAL BOUNCE CALLED " DEATH WOBBLE " AS NOTED IN THE JEEP WORLD, NOT NOTED BY JEEP, I HAD THREE, IN THE ROW, ONE WORSE, THAN THE ONE BEFORE. THE BOUNCING CAUSED A TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE TO DIS-LARGE, FROM A SITED COUPLING, TO THE ENGINE RADIATER. THE LOSE OF 4 QUARTS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID TO SPILL ON THE 5 LANE HIGHWAY. I NOTICED A LOSE IN SPEED, SMOKE AND RPM ADVANCE, FROM 1800 TO 4000 RPMS IN LESS THAN A MINUTE. NOW I HAD TO NAVIGATE MY WAY THROUGH 4 LANES OF HEAVY 60 MILES TO 75 MILE AN HOUR TRAFFIC, WITH OUT GETTING HIT. WITHIN TWO MILES I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. I HAD A FLASHLIGHT, I LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING, BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING DARK OUT, I WENT UP FRONT AND LOOKED AT THE FRONT END AND SAW TRANSMISSION FLUID. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, AND CALLED FOR A TOW. 2 HOURS LATER, PLUS 77.00 DOLLARS, I WENT HOME. I LIVE ON A BUDGET. I WROTE JEEP, BUT WITHOUT A WORD, FROM THEM. SO I LOOKED AT MY OWNERS MANUAL, AND SAW NOTHING ABOUT CHANGING SHOCKS, COIL SPRINGS AT MILES MAINTENANCE SERVICE INTERVALS. I NOTICED YOUR NAME, SO I CONTACTED YOU FOR HELP. LUCKILY I WASN'T HIT OR WORSE. I'M 62 YEARS YOUNG, AND HAVE DRIVING EXPERIENCE. I HOPE THIS HELPS.

IT IS ONLY EIGHT MILES FROM MY HOME TO WORK SO, I KEPT LISTENING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS. BY THE TIME I GOT TO WORK, THERE WAS A WHITE TAPE COMING OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. AFTER WORK, I TOOK IT AND HAD IT LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE "CLOCK SPRING" IS UNRAVELING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. USUALLY THIS IS ONLY SEEN WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG HAS BEEN DEPLOYED. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT SO, IT SHOULD NOT BE UNRAVELING INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN.

Summary

WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS OF DRIVING I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65 MPH AND HIT A SMALL BRIDGE BUMP, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO PULL OVER. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. THE SHAKING WAS STILL THERE JUST NOT AS VIOLENT. IN THE PAST 7 YEARS I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAY THEY FIXED IT AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT THEY CHARGED ME OVER $3,000.00 TO FIX IT. AGAIN GOT A LITTLE BETTER FOR AWHILE, THE SHAKING WASN'T AS BAD. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT BACK THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAD SOMEONE TAKE A VIDEO ON THE INTERSTATE AFTER I HIT A BRIDGE BUMP SHOWING VIOLENT SHAKING AND DANGEROUS CONTROL. I SHOWED THE DEALERSHIP THE PROBLEM THEY SAID THEY HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE AND TOLD ME TO CALL CHRYSLER. I CALLED THEM THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THAT PROBLEM BUT WOULD GET BACK TO ME IN A WEEK. TWO WEEKS WENT BY SO I CALLED THEM AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH TOLD ME TO CALL THEM. I AM DRIVING A DEATH TRAP ON THE INTERSTATE AND NO ONE WILL IDENTIFY AND FIX THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 01/12/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED NO ONE COULD EXPLAIN WHY THE TIRES WERE CHOPPED, WHEN ALL THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING COMPONENTS CHECKED OUT FINE. UPDATED 01.19.16.*JB *TR

OVER THE LAST 2 YEAR, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES STARTING MY JEEP. IT WOULD NOT CRANK AT ALL 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THAN START WITH NO PROBLEMS. IT WOULD BE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS AND THAN DO IT AGAIN. MORNING, AFTERNOON, WHEN RAINING OR SNOWING, IT IS UNPREDICTABLE. STARTING 3 DAYS AGO, MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS COMING ON WHEN TURNING LEFT AND THAN WOULD GO OFF AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. TODAY, I HAD IT CHECKED AT WORK AND IT CAME UP AS THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG IS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I DROVE TO BIG O DODGE IN GREENVILLE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT JUST BLEW ME OFF TELLING ME THAT THEIR IS NO RECALLS OR PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP. BUT I HAPPENED TO KNOW ONE OF THE TECHNICIAN THERE THAT TOLD ME ON MY WAY OUT THAT THEY ARE HAVING SOME ISSUE WITH THE WRANGLERS CONCERNING THESE ISSUES.

Summary

THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN AS THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. ON A 25 MILE STRETCH OF ROAD BETWEEN SONOITA, AZ AND TUCSON, ARIZONA I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD 5 TIMES IN ONE TRIP TO STOP DANGEROUS AND ALMOST UNMANAGEABLE FRONT-END STEERING VIBRATIONS. JEEP AS FAR AS I KNOW HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, BUT FROM READING AUTOMOTIVE LITERATURE I UNDERSTAND THAT HAVE ISSUED 4 OR 5 MODIFICATION KITS NONE OF WHICH HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE JEEP STEERS NORMALLY AT LOW SPEED OR ON STRAIGHT GLASS SMOOTH HIGHWAYS. HOWEVER ABOVE 40 MPH WITH ANY RHYTHMIC RIPPLE OR INDIVIDUAL POTHOLE A FRONT END HOPPING VIBRATION STARTS THAT CAN ONLY BE CONTROLLED BY STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND THEN PULLING BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I HAD A NON-DEALER GARAGE FIX IT ONCE AND JEEP REIMBURSED ME (BUT NO FORMAL RECALL). THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED IN SIX MONTHS AND I PRESSURED THE GARAGE INTO FIXING IT AGAIN. SOME TIME AFTER THAT THE PROBLEM REOCCURRED AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. ACCORDING TO AUTOMOTIVE LITERATURE JEEP AS ISSUED 4 OR 5 DIFFERENT ENGINEERING CHANGES FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT NONE HAVE PRODUCED A PERMANENT FIX. THIS TELLS ME THAT THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE" IS LESS IF A WEAR ISSUE, BUT RATHER AN ENGINEERING FAILURE. ONCE THE FRONT END STARTS TO BOUNCE THE TIRE IN CONTACT WITH THE ROAD WILL STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEN THE TIRE ON THE OTHER SIDE COMES DOWN AND STEERS THE OTHER DIRECTION AND THE FRONT END BOUNCES SIDED-TO-SIDE WITH INCREASING VIOLENCE.

Summary

AT 2 MPH IN 2H AND 1ST GEAR OF MANUAL TRANSMISSION, DROVE ONTO A WET GRASSY AREA AND ENGAGED THE TRANSFER CASE INTO 4H. AFTER 150 FEET AT 3 MPH AND VEHICLE ROLLING, I DEPRESSED CLUTCH AND SHIFTED TRANSFER CASE INTO 4L. MADE U-TURN AND CREPT AT 2 MPH. MOVING FORWARD, DEPRESSED CLUTCH, LET OFF GAS AND SHIFTED TRANSFER CASE INTO 4H, DROVE TO THE EDGE OF STREET AND STOPPED. WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, AND CLUTCH DEPRESSED, I SHIFTED THE TRANSFER CASE INTO 2H POSITION BUT HEARD SNAPPING SOUND AND THE LEVER WENT LOOSE. TAKING HOLD OF THE LEVER, I FOUND IT FLOPPED FREELY FORWARD AND BACK. MANUAL TRANSMISSION WAS IN FIRST GEAR, BUT WHEN I LET THE CLUTCH UP, THE VEHICLE DIDNT MOVE. MOVED THE GEARSHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO 1ST GEAR. RELEASED THE CLUTCH BUT THE VEHICLE DIDNT MOVE. TURNED VEHICLE OFF, ENGAGED PARKING BRAKE, AND INSPECTED UNDERNEATH. NOTHING HANGING FROM THE TRANSMISSION OR TRANSFER CASE. DEPRESSED CLUTCH, PUT GEARSHIFT LEVER IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED. PUT THE GEARSHIFT LEVER INTO 1ST, BUT WHEN I LET UP ON CLUTCH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE. I RELEASED THE CLUTCH WITH GEARSHIFT LEVER IN 1ST AND RELEASED THE PARKING BRAKE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARD INTO THE SWALE. VEHICLE TOWED TO JEEP DEALERSHIP. INVOICE STATES, "CUSTOMER STATES WHILE SHIFTING VEH. INTO 4H SOMETHING SNAPPED AND NOW VEH. WON'T GO INTO GEAR AT ALL. TECH FOUND TRANSFER CASE SHIFT CABLE BROKEN AT BOTH ENDS. COMPLETED REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT OF TRANSFER CASE SHIFT CABLE. MY CONCERN IS THIS COULD HAPPEN WHEN SOMEONE SHIFTS INTO 4H WHILE DRIVING ON A WET, SLIPPERY ROAD SURFACE UP TO 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WOULD QUICKLY LOOSE FORWARD MOMENTUM, COASTING TO A STOP, AND POSSIBLY BE STRUCK FROM BEHIND.

THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE HOSE BETWEEN THE FRAME MOUNT AND THE CONNECTING POINT ON THE BRAKE CYLINDER, BLEW OUT AT THE SNAP CONNECTION END. THIS RESULTED IN COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL HYDRAULIC BRAKING ABILITY. THE CAUSE OF THE BREAKAGE WAS DUE TO THE BRAKE HOSE RUBBING AGAINST THE INNER TIRE WALL WHENEVER THE TIRES WERE TURNED TO THE FULL STOP POSITION OF LEFT OR RIGHT DIRECTION. BOTH ( RIGHT AND LEFT ) BREAK HOSES RUB THE INSIDE OF THE TIRES. HAD I BEEN DRIVING AT THE TIME, THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY OR EVEN DEATH TO PEOPLE. AS IT WAS, THE LINE BLEW WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT. I DO HAVE PICTURES AVAILABLE PLUS THE DAMAGED PART FOR REVIEW.

THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN MY VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO HIT MY WRIST AGAINST THE THE STEERING WHEEL AND I SUFFERED A MODERATE WRIST INJURY THAT STILL BOTHERS ME MONTHS LATER.

Summary

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 YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY." PLAIN REDICULOUS, AND WHAT'S MORE CONCERNING IS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS IT. PLEASE HELP!

Summary

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.

Summary

BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN IN FOREVER, HAD CHECKED, NOT AN ISSUE BUT...BEGAN NOTICING ON HIGHWAY. NOT SO SEVERE TO HAVE TO STOP TO REGAIN CONTROL. ABOUT A YEAR AGO IIT HAPPENED AT LOWER SPEEDS, AS FEW AS 35MPH, ANY UNEVEN SURFACE, BUMP, TEXTURE OR LEVEL CHANGE SETS IT OFF. TAPPING OR USE OF THE BRAKES. "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCURS. A SLIGHT TREMOR RADIATING FROM STEERING COLUMN THEN THROUGH THE ENTIRE JEEP. SO INTENSE THAT IT FEELS LIKE THE TIRES ARE TURNING SIDEWAYS, MAINTAINING CONTROL, STEERIN AND BRAKING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. REGULAR BRAKING DOES NOT HELP. HARS BRAKE ONLY. HAVEN'T COME TO COMPLETE STOP. I'VE ALWAYS STOPPED, PUT BACK INTO PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. THINKING MAYBE SOME SORT OF RESET MAY OCCUR. IT HELPS ME TO RESET MY OWN SELF ANYWAYS! VERY SCARY! ESPECIALLY IF IN A VENDOR CURVED PART OF ROADWAY. . BRAKE LIGHT STILL ON EVEN AFTER INSPECTED (?) TOOK INTO SHOP. MECHANIC SAID BALL JOINTS NEEDED REPLACED. DEATH WOBBLE WENT AWAY FOR A FEW WEEKS AND IT'S BACK. PRIOR ALIGNMENTS~ ONLY REGULAR ADJUSTMENTS REQUIRED. I TRIED TO PAY ATTENTION AFTER THIS 'FIX' AND DETERMINED THAT BRAKING (EVEN JUST A TAP) STARTS IT AND ANY SURFACE CHANGE IN THE ROAD OLDER JEEPS HAD A SIMPLY FIX, TIGHTENED A BOLT ON STEERING COLUM. MY SON IS IN TRAINING, DID A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE STEERING COLUM. SAYS SEEMED TO ME SOME EXTRA PLAY, NOTHING LIKE A BOLT LOOSE BUT DARK OUT, MULTIPLE COMPONENTS ALONG COLUMN, UNSURE WITHOUT A LENGTHIER INSPECTION. NOTHING BY SIGHT. WE STOPPED DRIVING AND TOOK IT IN FOR INSPECTION/REPLACEMENT OF FRONT END BALLJOINTS. TIRES HAVE AN UNFAMILIAR PATTERN OF WEAR. USING FACTORY RECOMMEND TIRES, SIZE AND PRESSURE. VERY LITTLE OFF ROAD. MOSTLY DRIVEN FOR IN TOWN/ HIGHWAY DRIVING. I HOPE THIS HELPS. VERY VERY SCARY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. OH I'VE TRIED TO OUTRUN. DOESN'T WORK. LATELY I'VE SHIFTED TO 4THBEING AND CAN USUALLY REGAIN CONTROL..

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.

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.

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

I HAD DEATH WOBBLE FROM POORLY MADE PARTS. STEERING STABILIZER IS WAS TO SMALL TO HANDLE EVERYDAY DRIVING AND THE BALL JOINTS ARE JUNK. 600 BUCKS LATER I FIGURED IT OUT SINCE THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE AND TALKING TO MECHANIC FRIENDS IT'S A COMMON REPLACEMENT SINCE THE COMPANY USES CHEAP PARTS. ALSO HAVE LOTS OF ISSUES WITH THE ESP, EGR VALVE, FALSE CODES FROM EGR AND O2 SENSORS. AND TODAY MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS GONE OFF. AND EVERY SINGLE TIME I GET GAS IT'S SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THE THROW OUT BEARING WHINES WHICH I WAS TOLD IS ALSO JUNK AND CAN FAIL RIGHT FROM PURCHASE TO OVER 100,000 MILES. IT WOULD BE VERY NICE IF CHRYSLER WOULD FIX THE CHEAP PARTS MADE FOR THE JEEP JK MODEL. JUST LOOK AT FORUMS YOU WITH FIND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS MODEL OF JEEP. *TR

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 SEE ANY CODES, THEN THE ISSUE DIDN'T HAPPEN. THEY WANT TO SEE OF VIDEO. I NEED HELP WITH MY DEMON JEEP - I AM TOTALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER CORPORATION WON'T HELP ME.

I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE WEB AND HAVE SEEN IT OFTEN CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE". I MANAGED TO PULL OVER INTO A CHURCH PARKING LOT AND DECIDED TO TURN AROUND AND TAKE IT BACK HOME. ONCE I GOT GOING, THE STEERING WHEEL AGAIN BEGAN VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND AGAIN I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED MY HUSBAND TO COME GET ME BECAUSE I WAS NOT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE LIKE THIS. HE CRAWLED UNDER THE JEEP AND NOTICED THE WELDS OF THE STEERING STABILIZER BRACKET HAD COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF FROM THE FRONT AXLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. ON OCT 11, 2011, I LOST CONTROL OF THE JEEP AND RAN OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH. THERE WAS $4000 WORTH OF DAMAGE INCLUDING REPLACEMENT OF THE FRONT AXLE BECAUSE THE STEERING STABILIZER BRACKET HAD SEPARATED FROM THE AXLE! I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND BECAUSE OF THE OCCURRENCE OF THIS SECOND INCIDENT THAT THE FIRST ACCIDENT WAS AT NO FAULT OF MY OWN BUT INSTEAD A MANUFACTURER FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THIS BRACKET! *TR

Summary

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

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

HAVE ALSO HAD IT HAPPEN WHERE IT PUT ME OFF INTO THE SIDE OF A DITCH. I HAVE DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS DUE TO CANCER AN HOUR AWAY. HAVE TO GET A RIDE BECAUSE I CANT TRUST TO DRIVE IT. I TAKE COUNTRY BACK ROADS EVERYWHERE AND MAKE ONLY SHORT TRIPS INTO TOWN. I'M ON DISABILITY, SO THE OPTION TO TRADE IT IN IS OUT. CAN'T SELL IT KNOWING IT MIGHT VERY WELL KILL THE NEXT OWNER.

Summary

AFTER DRIVING (BETWEEN 45 MPH AND 55 MPH) OVER A SERIES OF SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD (PAVED HIGHWAY), I EXPERIENCED (AND AM NOW CONTINUING TO EXPERIENCE, ON A MORE FREQUENT BASIS) A VERY DRAMATIC, VIOLENT, TERRIFYING, AND NEARLY UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING OF MY ENTIRE VEHICLE (2007 JEEP WRANGLER) WHICH I HAVE RECENTLY LEARNED ONLINE (FROM READING COUNTLESS REPORTS FROM OTHER JEEP WRANGLER DRIVERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME TERRIFYING EVENT) IS BEING CALLED THE DREADED JEEP "DEATH WOBBLE" (APPROPRIATELY NAMED AS ONE RIGHTLY FEELS AS THOUGH THE DRIVER OF AND PASSENGERS WITHIN VEHICLE COULD POSSIBLY SUFFER A TRAGIC AND LIFE-ENDING ACCIDENT RESULTING FROM THIS OBVIOUS VERY SERIOUS VEHICLE MALFUNCTION). AS A LOYAL JEEP CUSTOMER AND OWNER OVER THE PAST 3 DECADES (HAVING MY VEHICLES REGULARLY SERVICED AS RECOMMENDED AT THEIR AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER/JEEP LOCATIONS), I IMMEDIATELY REPORTED THIS MATTER TO CHRYSLER/JEEP CORPORATION AND AFTER ASKING IF A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED, WAS TOLD "NO" AND THAT NONE WAS BEING CONSIDERED. IN ABSOLUTE AMAZEMENT (AND DISGUST), I ADVISED CHRYSLER/JEEP THAT SUCH INACTION BY CHRYSLER/JEEP WOULD NOT ONLY PLACE ITS VEHICLE OWNERS AT GREAT PERSONAL RISK (ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY EVEN DEATH FROM RESULTING ACCIDENTS), BUT COULD ALSO SUBJECT CHRYSLER/JEEP TO LEGAL ACTION SUCH AS CLASS ACTION SUITS BEING FILED NATIONWIDE BY EACH STATE'S ATTORNEYS GENERAL'S OFFICES. PLEASE KINDLY FULLY INVESTIGATE AND TAKE IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION TO REQUIRE CHRYSLER/JEEP TO FULLY ADDRESS AND CORRECT THIS UNSAFE, TERRIFYING (AND POSSIBLY EVEN LIFE-THREATENING) MATTER. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHILE CHANGING LANES. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VERY VIOLENTLY. I HAS TO PULL OFF THE ROAD SLOWING TO ABOUT 40 MPH IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND STOP THE SHAKING. WHEN THE SHAKING STARTS THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY IT IS HARD TO STEER OR EVEN FOCUS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE YOU ARE SHAKING TOO. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN TO JEEP DEALERSHIPS ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS AND THEY ALL TELL ME THE SUSPENSION IS FINE. FINALLY THIS LAST TIME, AFTER COMPLAINING OF THE "DEATH SHAKE" AS I HAVE COME TO RESEARCH AND DISCOVER, THEY WERE ABLE TO PUT A LARGER STEERING DAMPENER ON MY VEHICLE THAN WAS THERE IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE SHAKING. I STILL FEEL VIBRATIONS AT EXPRESSWAY SPEEDS BUT IT IS NOT VIOLENT SHAKING ANYMORE. THIS REPAIR COST OVER $250. *TT

WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE ALL THE SUDDEN STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKING OUT OF CONTROL, THE FRONT WHEELS WERE RAPIDLY GOING BACK AND FORTH. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AND NEARLY WENT OFF THE ROAD. I HAD TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN, IN TRAFFIC, TO ABOUT 35 BEFORE THE SHAKING STOPPED. ABOUT 5 MILES LATER DOWN THE ROAD IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I ONCE AGAIN HAD TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN TO STOP THE ISSUE. THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE NORMAL, THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE GOOD. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND HAD SOME STEERING PARTS REPLACED. *TR

Summary

THE PROBLEM STARTED LATE FEBRUARY 2014. I TOOK MY JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM IN GREAT DETAIL AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THE THIS PROBLEM, THE DEATH WOBBLE. SO THEY CALLED ME LATER AND SAID IT'S FIXED. WHICH IT WASN'T I PULLED OUT AND ONLY A FEW MINUTES LATER IT HAPPENED SO I WENT BACK AND ASKED THEM IF THEY BOTHERED TO TEST DRIVE TO SEE IF IT WAS ACTUALLY FIXED AND THEY SAID NO. THIS BLEW MY MIND ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S DANGEROUS. SO AFTER THEY PUT ON A NEW STABILIZER BAR I TOOK IT TO A NEW PLACE SINCE THAT WAS THE 4TH BAD EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD WITH THAT DEALERSHIP. THE BACK UP PLACE STARTED THEIR INSPECTION OF PROBLEM AND NOTICED THE STABILIZER WAS FAULTY AND HE STARTED WITH REPLACING THAT AGAIN. I GOT THE JEEP BACK TO ONLY FIND IT WAS STILL NOT FIXED. I'VE TAKEN THE JEEP BACK 5 TIMES TO HAVE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS REPLACED IN THIS ORDER: STABILIZER BAR/WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATION, STABILIZER BAR AGAIN, ALL NEW SHOCKS, STEERING DAMPER/TIE ROD ENDS, AND TRACK BAR. $2000 WORTH OF WORK AND IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. NOW I'M AT A POINT WHERE I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE MECHANIC IS STUMPED AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION SYSTEM. I FEEL LIKE THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A LEMON OR SELL TO SOMEONE ELSE WHICH IS NOT RIGHT EITHER. I'M BLOWN AWAY THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY ISSUE. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST OF BEEN RUN OVER BY 70MPH SEMIS, RUN TWO OTHER CARS OFF THE ROAD AND IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I GET HURT OR KILLED OR SOMEONE ELSE DOES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55-60MPH, THERE WERE SOME MILD TAR BUMPS IN THE ROAD THAT I DROVE OVER AND THE CAR PROCEEDED TO THE DEATH WOBBLE. IT IS EXACTLY AS EVERYONE ELSE HAS NOTED, THE JEEP FELT LIKE ALL 4 WHEELS WERE COMING OFF, THE JEEP SHOOK VOILENTLY, WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO HANDLE. I SLOWED MY SPEED AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO COME APART. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO CHRYSLER AND TO THIS ORGANIZATION, WHY WON'T YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT????? WITH ONLY 33K MILES, I NOW HAVE TO GET A NEW CAR BECAUSE I AM IN FEAR OF DRIVING THIS ONE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF AN EXPRESSWAY....IT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC AND DEADLY....IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE WAITING FOR? HOPE IT ISN'T ANYONE YOU KNOW WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN!

I DECREASED SPEED FROM 60-65MPH TO ROUGHLY 30-40 MPH PAYING ATTENTION TO TRAFFIC AS I VEERED FROM THE 2ND FAST LANE TO THE SHOULDER.

I HAVE LOVED THIS JEEP SINCE THE DAY I GOT IT, AT ABOUT A FEW YEARS AFTER OWNING IT I HAD EXPERIENCED SOMETHING I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE!!! I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I MUST HAVE HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, MY JEEP CONTINUED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I COULD NOT STOP IT UNLESS I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TRIED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I THEN WENT DIRECTLY TO MY MECHANIC WHO THEN INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, HE FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND SAID HE DID NOT EXPERIENCE IT HIMSELF. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE SHOCKS,NEW TIRES, BRAKES, STEERING PIN AND STILL HAVE THAT PROBLEM, I DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS UNTIL I STARTED LOOKING IT UP ON THE INTERNET, THERE IS EVEN A VIDEO OF SOMEONE DRIVING A JEEP EXACTLY LIKE MINE AND IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS, IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED WHEN THEY ARE IN ICE OR RAIN!!!! WHY HASN'T ANYONE STEPPED UP TO HAVE THIS FIXED? I HAVE CALLED JEEP ON IT AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD COMPLAINTS BUT NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT! REALLY?? HOW ABOUT YOU CLIMB INTO MY VEHICLE AND HAVE THIS "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPEN TO YOU WITH YOUR CHILD IN IT??? I AM 2 PAYMENTS AWAY FROM PAYING OFF MY JEEP, THIS JUST DISGUSTS ME!

Summary

PURCHASED 2007 WRANGLER SAHARA NEW. MAINTAINED VEHICLE AS SUGGESTED BY MANUFACTURER. NOTICED EARLY ON THE 3.8 L V6 BURNED OIL. WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL, SO I ADDED A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. AT 51,000 MILES NOTICED A LOUD KNOCK. IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN. I HAD CHANGED THE OIL AT 50,000 MILES BUT SOMEHOW LOST ALL OF THE OIL IN 1,000 MILES. NEVER HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OIL WARNING LIGHT, NO OIL SHOWING ON THE GROUND. DEALER WANTED $7,000 TO INSTALL REMANUFACTURED LONG BLOCK. WOULD NOT CALL CHRYSLER ON MY BEHALF EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD BEEN THE ONE SERVICING THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY. THREE DIFFERENT CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE ABOVE THEM AS THE DECISION (MADE IN ONE HOUR) WAS FINAL. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME AN ADDRESS OR FAX NUMBER SO THAT I COULD SUBMIT MY SERVICE RECORDS TO SHOW THAT I HAD MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE. IN FACT, THEY INDICATED THAT NOT ONLY WAS A QUART OF OIL EVERY 700-1,000 MILES WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL, THAT IS WAS ALSO NORMAL TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. A QUICK REVIEW ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THOUSANDS WITH THIS PROBLEM. 650 SIGNATURES ARE ON ONE PETITION ALONE THAT SHOW THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. *TR

A FULL CLUTCH REPLACEMENT WAS COMPLETED WITH ALL NEW COMPONENTS BY A LICENSED AND CERTIFIED MECHANIC WITH EXCELLENT OUTCOME. 1 MONTH AFTER THE CLUTCH REPLACEMENT THE CLUTCH PEDAL SUDDENLY WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT RELEASE THE CLUTCH. REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCH SLAVE, MASTER AND HYDRAULIC LINE AS WELL AS A FULL HYDRAULIC FLUID FLUSH YIELDED NO SUCCESS EVEN WITH PRESSURE AND VACUUM APPLICATIONS TO BLEED THE SYSTEM. THIS FAILURE OF PLASTIC PARTS DESIGNED FOR OFF-ROAD APPLICATIONS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SYSTEM IS FED BY THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND COULD COMPROMISE THE BRAKING SYSTEM IF IT FAILS. NUMEROUS TSB'S AND A POSSIBLE RECALL WERE NOTED BUT THE DEALER NOTIFIED ME THAT THE VIN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL COVERED YEARS, MAKE AND MODEL.

SO WHEN MY INCIDENT HAPPENED I WAS GOING STRAIGHT AND I COULD NOT EVEN PUT SECOND GEAR AND THE TRUCK ALMOST HIT ME. THANK GOD NOTHING HAPPEN BUT I AM WRITING THIS REPORT BECAUSE IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYBODY ELSE OR IT COULD HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN. AND JUST TO TAKE IT TO THE JEEP CHRYSLER DEALER THEY ARE CHARGING MONEY JUST TO CHECK THE PROBLEM. I THINK IS A RECALL AND THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS. I SPOKE TO [XXX] FROM THE CORPORATE CHRYSLER OFFICE AND HE WAS NOT VERY HELPFUL IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUE. HE SEEM NOT TO CARE WHAT THE INCIDENT COULD OF BEEN. THIS IS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 6 SPEED MANUAL. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE JEEP WRANGLERS. I GOT THIS TRUCK BECAUSE IT WAS RECOMMENDED BY A FRIEND OF MINE AND SINCE I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS AND UNFORTUNATELY THIS COULD LEAD TO SOMETHING FATAL. I THINK THEY HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A WHILE NOW BUT NOBODY HAS EVER FILE A COMPLAIN. AND I FEEL FOR THE REST OF THE WRANGLER OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND ONE DAY COULD LEAD TO SOMETHING VERY UNEXPECTED.

WHEN TRAVELING AT 45 MPH I MADE A SLIGHT LEFT TURN IN THE ROAD AND WENT OVER A LONG SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD MAYBE FROM A ROAD SEAM THAT WAS FILLED IN. BOTH WHEELS HIT IT AT THE SAME TIME AND THE JEEP SLOWLY STARTED SHAKING UNTIL IT BECAME VERY VIOLENT INSIDE THE JEEP. I HAD TO SLOW MY SPEED DOWN TO APPROX 10 MPH TO GET IT TO STOP. I HAPPENED TO HAVE A COWORKER BEHIND ME WHO SAW THE WHOLE THING FROM BEHIND AND SAID THE CAR WAS SHAKING BACK AND FORTH SO MUCH THAT IT LOOKED LIKE MY RIMS WERE ALMOST TOUCHING THE ROAD SINCE MY TIRE TREADS STAYED STRAIGHT. IT FELT LIKE I HAD 4 FLATS. I CHANGED THE STEERING DAMPENER AND THE SHOCKS TO RANCHO BRAND WHICH ARE LARGER THAN THE OEM BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT NOT NEARLY AS BAD SINCE I NOW KNOW WHEN IT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN.

DROVE THROUGH A PUDDLE THAT SEEMED TO AFFECT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE ONLY AND THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AS THOUGH SOMETHING HAD CAME LOOSE. THERE WAS A STRONG PULL TO THE LEFT ALSO. I'M THINKING I WILL HAVE TO GET THE FRONT END CHECKED OUT, STOPPED AT A GROCERY STORE FOR A FEW THINGS AND WHEN HEADED HOME THE SHAKE IS STILL THERE, BUT NOT SO VIOLENT. PARKED AT HOME OVERNIGHT AND HEADED OUT THE NEXT DAY TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND THERE IS NO SHAKE WHATSOEVER, VEHICLE DRIVES LIKE IT ALWAYS HAS. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET I SEE A PROBLEM OTHERS SEEM TO BE HAVING EXACTLY LIKE MINE AND IT'S BEING CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". IT HAS NOT DONE THIS SINCE THIS ONE TIME BUT IT HAS ME WORRIED THAT IT WILL AT ANY TIME, AND COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

Summary

FIRST OCCURRENCE DEC 6TH 2012, BACKING OUT OF AN INCLINED DRIVEWAY. VEHICLE SEEMED AS IF IT HAD NO POWER, STALLED, SPITTING AND SPUTTERING LIKE IT WAS STARVING FOR GAS. FINALLY GOT IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND WAS ABOUT 15 MILES FROM CLOSEST JEEP DEALERSHIP IN OCALA FL, AND NURSED IT THERE, SPITTING AND SPUTTERING AND STALLING THE WHOLE TRIP. LEFT IT OVERNIGHT AND GOT A CALL THE NEXT DAY WHERE THEY HAD FOUND THE PROBLEM AND A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS WRONG (UNRELATED TO THE PROBLEM) I APPROVED THE FIXES AND AFTER $677.00 LATER DROVE OFF THE LOT. THE ONLY THING I CAN SEE ON THE INVOICE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM IS A LINE THAT READS "CLEANER-FUELSYSTEM" AND HAS A $59.00 PART AND A $106.00 LABOR CHARGE. ON JANUARY 13TH 2013 IT STARTS ACTING UP AGAIN. I TAKE IT BACK TO SAME DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND COMPLAIN THAT I'M NOT GOING TO COME IN EVERY MONTH AND PAY A $90.00 DIAGNOSTICS FEE FOR SOMETHING THEY SAID WAS FIXED. SO THEY PLUG IT IN AND THE CODE TELLS THEM I WAS RUNNING "LEAN" HOWEVER THEY HAVE NO IDEA THIS TIME WHAT'S WRONG. AND OF COURSE IT'S NOT DOING IT SO THEY "CAN'T FIX WHAT'S NOT BROKE". BETWEEN JAN AND JULY IT HAS DONE THIS MANY TIMES, IN THE BEGINNING IT WAS ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH BUT NOW WILL DO IT ALMOST EVERY TRIP. WHEN IT STALLS COMPLETELY I LOOSE PS & PB, VERY DANGEROUS. IT NOW STALLS AT SPEEDS OF AROUND 50 MPH AND I JUST HAVE TO PULL ONTO SHOULDER TO RESTART. SOMETIMES IT RESTARTS RIGHT AWAY AND OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO SIT A SHORT BIT. IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO LONGER TRIPS, 1-2 HOURS. BUT SOMETIMES WILL HAPPEN AFTER BEING ON THE ROAD FOR 15 MINUTES. THE STALLING AT 50 MPH AND LOOSING PS & PB IS THE MOST CONCERNING IN TRAFFIC. *TR

Summary

I ENGAGED MY ELECTRONIC SWAYBAR DISCONNECT WHEN I WENT OFF-ROADING. WHEN I RETURNED TO PAVEMENT, I TRIED TO RECONNECT BY PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUED FLASHING ON THE DASH. I TOOK MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON IN TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AMONG RUBICON OWNERS. HERE IS THE LINK TO SOME OTHERS ON A JEEP FORUM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.JK-FORUM.COM/JK-ELECTRICAL-LIGHTING-SOUND-SYSTEMS-13/WARNING-RUBICON-OWNERS-YOUR-SWAYBAR-WILL-GET-YOU-177489/PAGE2/ THIS IS A REAL ISSUE, AS MOST JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS ELECTRONIC SWAYBAR DISCONNECT OPTION USE IT OFF-ROAD, FAR FROM CIVILIZATION. IN SOME CASES, THIS DEFECT HAS CAUSED THEIR VEHICLE TO FREEZE UP. THIS COULD BE DEADLY IN SOME OF THE REALLY HOT OR REALLY COLD LOCATIONS. *TR

MY JEEP WRANGLER 2007 SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE IT. I AM AFRAID THAT I MAY KILL SOMEONE OR MY SELF OR MY KID. IT IS THE SCARIEST THING EVER. AT THREE (3) DIFFERENT OCCASIONS I ALMOST CRASH. I HEARD SO MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, SO WHY CHRYSLER ARE NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM? THEY TRIED TO TELL ME ITS FRONT END OR A TIRE ISSUE. I HAVE CHANGED MY STEERING DAMPER, MY STABILIZER BAR AND BUSHINGS. HAD IT ALIGNED AND BOUGHT NEW TIRES AND BALANCE. PROBLEM STILL EXIST. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AS OF THIS MORNING. AND THEY ARE TRYING TO STICK ME WITH A BILL FOR ANY REPAIRS DONE TO RECTIFY THIS WOBBLING ISSUE. I DO NOT THINK THAT I, THE CONSUMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT. $40, 000.00 IS NOT CHEAP, THEY MADE A KILLING FROM ME AND NOW THAT I HAVE SIX MONTHS LEFT, NOBODY WANTS TO ASSIST OR DO THE RIGHT THING. I LOVE MY WRANGLER. ALWAYS DREAM ABOUT OWNING ONE SINCE HIGH SCHOOL. I HOPING YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NO EXTRA MONEY LYING AROUND.

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.

Summary

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. CONSIDERING THAT THIS ISSUE NOT ONLY AFFECTS THE HORN BUT ALSO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WHICH WAS UNKNOWINGLY DISABLED FOR A WEEK OR SO, THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER SHOULD ALWAYS BE PARAMOUNT. THANK GOD THAT MY WIFE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT HAVE DEPLOYED. I WILL BE TAKING THIS UP WITH JEEP. *TR

Summary

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 RINGS ARE BAD. I'VE HAD VEHICLES THAT LASTED 120,000+ AND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE RINGS ON THE PISTONS. I HAVE TALKED TO A COUPLE OF MECHANICS AND SAID THERE SHOULD BE NO WAY THE RINGS SHOULD HAVE GONE BAD THAT FAST. *TR

Summary

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 ABOUT $400.00. THIS REALLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SOME TIME AND, I THINK MERITS FURTHER INVESTIGATION BY YOU FOLKS. I SEE RECALLS FOR THE WRANGLER FOR THINGS LIKE FLOOR MATS AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SENSORS WHICH "MAY" CAUSE AN ACCIDENT - THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR SOME TIME TO THE MANUFACTURER AND DOCUMENTED BY TSB REFERENCED ABOVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

Summary

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.

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

Summary

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 AS I HAVE BEEN, AND NOT BEEN IN A ACCIDENT. *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.

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.

Summary

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

Summary

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

I LIVE IN A REMOTE AREA IN ALASKA WHERE THE NEAREST CITY IS 100 MILES, ONLY REACHED BY HIGHWAY. EACH TRIP I WOULD HIT A BUMP AND ALMOST HIT THE GUARD RAIL AT 65 MPH. I STOPPED DRIVING IT UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO ON MY WAY BACK HOME FROM WORK (10 MILES FROM HOME) IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE SPEED OF 35-55. IT WAS COMPLETELY VIOLENT SHAKING WHERE EACH TIME I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL IT. IT ONLY GOT WORSE WITH BRAKING. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. I AM UNABLE TO TAKE IT TO MECHANICS SHOP BECAUSE IT IS 100 MILES AWAY AND I AM NOT PUTTING MY FAMILY OR I AT RISK OF AN ACCIDENT ON AN ALASKA HIGHWAY. *JS

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

Summary

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 ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY. I AM EXTREMELY THANKFUL THAT THE BUS BEHIND ME IN THE BALTIMORE HARBOR TUNNEL HAD GOOD BRAKES. *TR

THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO FILL UP ON STANDARD AUTO SHUTOFF PUMPS. THE FUEL WILL RUSH OUT IN A SUDDEN BACKSPLASH. THE SITUATION CREATES THE HIGHEST RISK FOR FIRE AND CONFLAGRATION. THE 08 AND LATER WRANGLERS HAVE A RECALL, BUT THE 07 DOES NOT. THE 07 IS THE SAME BODY STYLE AS THE 08 AND LATER. NHTSA HAS CLAIMED THAT MEDIA SENSATIONALISM HAS HYPED PUBLIC OPINION ON THE MATTER. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF DEATH AND FIRE EVERY TIME I FILL UP AT THE PUMP BECAUSE NHTSA REFUSES TO FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THE ISSUE. NHTSA NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. *TR

Summary

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

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.

Summary

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE FRONT END OF MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING, WHICH I WAS VERY THANKFUL THAT THE TRAFFIC WASN'T BAD AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THIS AS KNOWN AS THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAS NOW DONE IT 5 TIMES, 3 OF WHICH WERE AFTER THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED IT. THE FIRST TIME THEY PUT A NEW DAMPER ON IT. NOW IT IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN AFTER THAT DIDN'T WORK AND THEY ARE PUTTING NEW TIRES ON IT. AFTER READING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE, IT IS APPARENT TO ME THAT NEW TIRES ARE NOT GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. EVERY TIME YOUR FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY LIKE THAT, THE CHANCES OF DAMAGING COMPONANTS FURTHER INCREASES. MY RESEARCH HAS ALSO SHOWN ME THAT MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM AND THEY HAVE HAD TROUBLE GETTING ANYONE TO STEP UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM. IF YOU DO A SIMPLE SEARCH FOR JEEP DEATH WOBBLE YOU WILL FIND HUNDREDS OF PAGES FOR COMPLAINTS. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE OCCURED ON DECEMBER 23, 2011, AND MY MOST RECENT EXPERIENCE WAS ON FEBRUARY 17, 2012. 5 DEATH WOBBLES IN ALL, AND IT GETS WORSE EACH TIME. HAVING LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE STEERING AND FRONT END CREATES WHAT I AM SURE YOU WILL SEE IS A DEADLY COMBINATION IN ANY CONDITION. *TR

Summary

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

Summary

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

Summary

AFTER FIGHTING WITH JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAD TO PAY FOR A SET OF RECOMMENDED UPGRADED WRANGLER SILENT ARMOR TIRES. JEEP "STRONGLY SUGGESTED" THAT I DO THIS EVEN THOUGH MY OLD TIRES, ORIGINAL JEEP WRANGLER TIRES, WERE IN GOOD CONDITION. JEEP REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE TIRES EVEN THOUGH IT ACKNOWLEDGED THE DEATH WOBBLE HAD WORN PATTERNS IN THE OLD TIRES. JEEP PUT IN A MOPAR STABILIZER, AND INSISTED THIS WOULD CURE THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. TWO WEEKS AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE NEW TIRES AND NEW STABILIZER/DAMPER BY THE AUTHORIZED JEEP SERVICE PROVIDER, THE DEATH WOBBLE RECURRED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE DEATH WOBBLE WAS REPLICATED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO DROVE THE WRANGLER WHILE I WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. AFTER HAGGLING, JEEP AGREED TO REPLACE THE STABILIZER. THIS IS STILL IN THE PROCESS OF BEING RESOLVED. SEVERAL THINGS TO REMEMBER: (1) CALL JEEP, REGARDLESS OF THE YEAR OF YOUR VEHICLE OR WARRANTY STATUS. PLEASE, DON'T LET JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE TELL YOU THAT YOUR VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY ARE NOT ACCOUNTABLE. KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECTS HAVE NO WARRANTY LIMITATIONS AND RECALLS CAN BE MADE REGARDLESS OF OUT-OF-WARRANTY STATUS. (2) PRESS JEEP FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR ALL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES YOU'VE MADE TRYING TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM. I WAS NOT 100% SUCCESSFUL, BUT I AM STILL APPEALING TO THEM, ESPECIALLY SINCE REPAIRS WERE MADE BY THEIR OWN DEALERSHIP. MY NEXT STEP WILL BE THE SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF NOT FEDERAL. (3) REPORT THIS PROBLEM TO THE NHTSA! THE DEATH WOBBLE IS REAL AND IT PUTS LIVES AT RISK. IF THERE ARE NO COMPLAINTS, THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR FIXES, AND LIVES WILL BE LOST, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY. (4) ASK YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS IF THEY'VE NOTICED THIS PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY DRIVERS THINK IT'S AN ISOLATED ISSUE. IT IS NOT, AND JEEP IS AWARE OF IT. *KB

Summary

MY 2007 JEEP UNLIMITED SAHARA HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." OCCURRED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. MECHANIC COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT, BUT PRESCRIBED TIRE INFLATION. PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL ONE WEEK AGO. CAN BE EASILY REPLICATED BY GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP AT ABOUT 25 MPH AND TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT SHARPLY. ALTERNATIVELY, JUST TRAVELING ABOVE 40-45 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, ESPECIALLY ON A CURVE, WILL REPLICATE. IF ANY OTHER JEEP DRIVER HAS THIS PROBLEM, THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF IS TO BRAKE SLOWLY, GET OFF THE ROAD AND DRIVE UNDER 40 MPH...AND MUCH SLOWER WHILE TURNING EVEN ON SIDE STREETS. IF YOU MUST DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY, STAY IN THE SLOW LANE SO THAT YOU CAN EXIT TO THE SHOULDER WITH RELATIVE SAFETY, AND ENGAGE YOUR HAZARD LIGHTS. OBVIOUSLY, THESE ARE NOT PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS AND ULTIMATE CULPABILITY MUST LIE WITH THE MANUFACTURER, WHO HAS BEEN PUT ON ALERT OF THIS PERSISTENT PROBLEM FOR MANY MONTHS IF NOT YEARS. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED BY JEEP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY HURT. PLEASE SHARE THESE COMPLAINTS WITH JEEP & THE GENERAL PUBLIC (WITHOUT DISCLOSING THE NAMES OR SPECIFIC VIN #S). *TT

Summary

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 AUTOMATIVE SAFETY REGULATIONS. THIS IS A "KNOWN" DIFFICIENCY WITH VARIOUS JEEP PRODUCTS INCLUDING MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X. IN ADDITION, I AM REQUESTING ANY "RECALL" INFORMATION THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT I MAY HAVE MISSED. I AM AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION UPON REQUEST TO ASSIST WITH MY REQUEST FOR RESOLUTION. *TT

Summary

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 SHOULD BE DISCLOSING IT TO THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES, IF NOT THEY SHOULD MAKE EFFORTS TO INVESTIGATE AND TRY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *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.

Summary

I HIT A SMALL BUMP ON MY MORNING COMMUTE ON INTERSTATE 95 WHILE RIDING NEXT TO A TRACTOR TRAILER. MY FRONT END STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY...I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO SLAM INTO THE SIDE OF THAT TRACTOR TRAILER. THE SO CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" IS A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE, AND FRANKLY SOMETHING THREATENING MY LIFE REALLY PISSES ME OFF. MY JEEP IS STOCK..NEVER LIFTED AND NO MODIFICATIONS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION HAS LET THIS ONE SLIP THROUGH THE CRACKS. I AM GOING TO SEE A LAWYER. I HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED..AND I AM STILL NOT SAFE IT IS STILL HAPPENING..HAPPENED YESTERDAY. NOW I COULD TRADE IT IN OR SELL IT, BUT THAT IS SOME REAL BAD KARMA COMING BACK. I AM LOOKING FOR THESE MANUFACTURE ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED AND TO KNOW THAT WHEN I DRIVE MY JEEP TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY THAT EVERYTIME I HIT A SMALL BUMP OR CROSS OVER A JOINT IN A BRIDGE, I AM NOT AT RISK OF KILLING MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE DUE TO DRIVING A JEEP WRANGLER. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND JEEP TO ANYONE AT THIS POINT. IN FACT PEOPLE ASK ME ALL THE TIME HOW I LIKE IT AND I TELL THEM IT IS A PIECE OF CRAP AND I WOULDN'T BUY ONE. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME REGARDING THESE ISSUES. I AM SURE YOU HAVE HEARD THEM BEFORE AS THEY SEEM TO BE PRETTY COMMON (THE VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE FRONT END EVEN HAS IT'S OWN NAME...THE "DEATH WOBBLE"). WHY DON'T YOU GO OUT AND BUY A WRANGLER AND PUT YOUR OWN FAMILY MEMBERS IN IT AND DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70? WOULD YOU OWN A JEEP WRANGLER OR BUY ONE FOR YOUR DAUGHTER? *TR

I TRIED TO BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF TO APPROX. 45 MILES PER HOUR WHILE I WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKE, IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE FOR APPROX. 15 SECONDS. THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED TO FISHTAIL AFTER I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I LOOKED TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS STUCK ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND THERE WAS NOT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND HAD TO TAP ON THE GAS PEDDLE TO GET IT TO COME UP FROM THE FLOOR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.

Summary

MY 2007 JEEP UNLIMITED SAHARA HAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." OCCURRED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. MECHANIC COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT, BUT PRESCRIBED TIRE INFLATION. PROBLEM WENT AWAY UNTIL ONE WEEK AGO. CAN BE EASILY REPLICATED BY GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP AT ABOUT 25 MPH AND TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT SHARPLY. ALTERNATIVELY, JUST TRAVELING ABOVE 40-45 MPH ON A HIGHWAY, ESPECIALLY ON A CURVE, WILL REPLICATE. IF ANY OTHER JEEP DRIVER HAS THIS PROBLEM, THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF IS TO BRAKE SLOWLY, GET OFF THE ROAD AND DRIVE UNDER 40 MPH...AND MUCH SLOWER WHILE TURNING EVEN ON SIDE STREETS. IF YOU MUST DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY, STAY IN THE SLOW LANE SO THAT YOU CAN EXIT TO THE SHOULDER WITH RELATIVE SAFETY, AND ENGAGE YOUR HAZARD LIGHTS. OBVIOUSLY, THESE ARE NOT PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS AND ULTIMATE CULPABILITY MUST LIE WITH THE MANUFACTURER, WHO HAS BEEN PUT ON ALERT OF THIS PERSISTENT PROBLEM FOR MANY MONTHS IF NOT YEARS. VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED BY JEEP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY HURT. PLEASE SHARE THESE COMPLAINTS WITH JEEP & THE GENERAL PUBLIC (WITHOUT DISCLOSING THE NAMES OR SPECIFIC VIN #S). *TR

JEEP HAS REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY HAZARD THAT THIS FLAW CAUSES EACH AND EVERY TIME THESE JEEPS ARE FUELED UP. AT THE POINT OF FILLING UP, THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS SENDING LARGE AMOUNTS OF GAS ON THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A TERRIBLE FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD THAT COULD LEAD TO PUBLIC INJURY AND EVEN DEATH IF IT CAUSED A FIRE.

Summary

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

VEHICLE WAS JUST PURCHASED CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED. VEHICLE CAME WITH A FULL TANK OF GASOLINE. WHILE RE-FILLING AT A GAS STATION FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE TANK FILLED NORMALLY. AS SOON AS THE FUEL REACHED THE NOZZLE END I HEARD THE NOZZLE CLICK OFF. THEN APPROXIMATELY HALF A GALLON OF FUEL SPRAYED OUT THE END OF THE FILL TUBE. THE FUEL RAN ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ALSO SPRAYED ONTO MY PANT LEG AND SHOE. I HAVE SINCE LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP ONLINE IN JEEP OWNER'S FORUMS AND FOUND THIS TO BE A HUGE PROBLEM AMONG SO MANY OF THESE MODELS. NOT ONLY IS THIS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY ISSUE, BUT ALSO AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AS WELL. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE TANK IS NOT VENTED PROPERLY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION BEFORE A TRAGIC EVENT OCCURS. EARLIER IN THIS FORM I WAS ASKED IF A FIRE OCCURRED I ANSWERED NO. THANK GOD THIS TIME THERE WAS NOT.

WHILE DRIVING ON A SECONDARY ROAD AT 50 MPH, I CROSSED A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHERE A CULVERT HAD BEEN REPLACED. THE BLACKTOP WAS REPLACED ON THE ROAD AND NO VISIBLE OBSTRUCTIONS WERE NOTICED. THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I THOUGHT I HAD BLOWN A TIRE OR A BALL JOINT HAD FAILED. I CAME TO A STOP AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, FEARING I'D GET REAR-ENDED MAKING A STOP SO SUDDENLY. I GOT OUT OF THE JEEP TO CHECK THE TIRES, ETC AND NOTHING LOOKED OUT OF PLACE - NO FLAT TIRES, NO SIGN OF JOINTS FAILING. I GOT BACK IN THE JEEP AND SLOWLY STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A 4 WEEK SPAN AT LEAST 4 TIMES AT THE SAME LOCATION. BUT WHEN I WOULD DRIVE WITH OTHERS IN THEIR VEHICLES, THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEMS. I ENDED UP TAKING MY JEEP TO THE LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY REPLACED BALL JOINTS, U JOINTS AND ALSO ALIGNED THE FRONT END. I HAD NO PROBLEM UNTIL NOVEMBER 1, WHEN ALONG ANOTHER SECONDARY ROAD, ANOTHER CULVERT HAD BEEN REPLACED; AGAIN THE JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. AGAIN ON A MAIN HIGHWAY, A WEEK LATER, A BUMP YOU COULD NOT SEE BUT FEEL WHILE DRIVING, VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURRED. I CALLED MY GARAGE TODAY AND TOLD THE ATTENDANT WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING AND THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS OCCURS IN SOME CHRYSLER AND ALSO FORD VEHICLES. THERE PROBABLY IS NOTHING ELSE WRONG, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT JUST NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH IN OWNING ONE OF THESE VEHICLES. "DEALT WITH"???? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS - CHRYSLER SHOULD DEAL WITH THIS - HELLOOOO, "RECALL"... *TR

Summary

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WITH 7907 MILES ON IT. WITHIN FOUR MONTHS I EXPERIENCED THE FRONT END SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN I HIT A BUMP. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE CAUSED BY BEING IN A CURVE WHEN IT HAPPENED. BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED SIX OR SEVEN TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR WITH TWO OCCURRENCES IN THE SAME DAY, YESTERDAY 11-1-11. I HAVE FOUND A LOCATION ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY I-294 WHERE AT 55MPH IT WILL OCCUR WHEN EVER I AM IN THE RIGHT LANE. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR TO A DEALER YET BECAUSE IT ONLY HAS 27000 MILES ON IT AND EVERYTHING LOOKS TIGHT IN THE FRONT END. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOCK AND HAS NEVER BEEN DRIVER OFF ROAD. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I FOUND MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME TROUBLE. IT IS DESCRIBED AS "DEATH WOBBLE". I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED AT BY THE NTSB. WITH SO MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE, THERE MAY BE DESIGN FAULT. *TR

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

Summary

INTERMITTENT PROBLEM OCCURRING ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD APPEAR, ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHICH LEADS TO POWER STEERING FAILURE AND LOSS OF SAFE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF IS INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT LAST FOR MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT TURNS BACK ON WITHOUT USE OF THE KEY OR ANY OTHER MEANS OF MANUALLY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, IT IS HIGHLY UNSAFE AND CAN LEAD TO SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. WE HAVE NOTED THIS ISSUE OCCURRING APPROXIMATELY 1-2 TIMES PER MONTH. WE FINALLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SERVICE AND LOCATE THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE ON OCTOBER 20, 2011. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF UNUSUALLY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED WE DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WHICH WILL BE COMPLETED IN 3000 MILES OR 3 MONTHS. *TR

Summary

SHIFTING THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE (TC) FROM 2HI TO 4HI OR 4LOW (OR IN REVERSE ORDER) CAN CAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFTING CABLE (TCSC) (MOPAR PART 52060462AG) TO FAIL AND BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM EITHER THE TC OR THE SHIFT LEVER IN THE CAB (OR BOTH). THE PART''S PLASTIC COMPONENTS ARE INHERENTLY TOO WEAK TO WITHSTAND NORMAL USE. SAFETY RISKS WHICH CAN ARISE UPON COMPONENT FAILURE, IF THE VEHICLE OWNER AND THEIR FAMILY (CHILDREN) ARE AT A LOCATION AND/OR TERRAIN WHERE THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED/MARKETED FOR TRAVEL (WHETHER BY RECREATION OR NECESSITY), AND THE LOCATION/TERRAIN IS: (I) SUBJECT TO INCLEMENT WEATHER (E.G. SNOW, ICE, FLOODING, EXTREME HEAT); OR (II) ON AN EXTREME INCLINE WHICH IS UNSAFE TO NEGOTIATE WITHOUT 4WD; OR (III) ANY CIRCUMSTANCE WHICH REQUIRES 4WD TO NAVIGATE TO A SAFE LOCATION; OR (IV) THE TCSC FAILS WHEN THE TC BECOMES STUCK IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION WHILE SHIFTING, AND IS UNABLE TO ESCAPE IMPENDING HARM (FLASH FLOOD) ... THERE IS OBVIOUS RISK TO LIFE/SAFETY. THE OWNER HAS A RIGHT TO RELY ON THE COMPONENTS AND REASONABLE SAFETY PERFORMANCE FOR WHICH THE PRODUCT IS DESIGNED/MARKETED. JEEP IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AND THE MANUAL FAILS TO CITE THIS AS A POSSIBLE CATASTROPHIC EVENT, LEAVING THE UNSUSPECTING OWNER AT A LOSS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. IT IS NOT REASONABLE FOR THIS COMPONENT TO FAIL WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES AS REPORTED BY JEEP OWNERS. ADVANCE ADAPTERS (WWW.ADVANCEADAPTERS.COM) MANUFACTURES A TCSC WHICH MEETS THE CRITERIA (PRODUCT# 715596) REQUIRED FOR THIS COMPONENT. THERE IS NO REASON THAT JEEP CANNOT DO THE SAME AND/OR CONTRACT WITH ADVANCE ADAPTORS TO SUPPLY THE PART TO JEEP OWNERS. WE URGE NHTSA'S INVESTIGATION OF THIS SAFETY DEFECT AND JEEP WILL REDESIGN THE DEFECTIVE PART AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR AFFECTED VEHICLES ON WHICH THE PART WAS INSTALLED AS OEM AND TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO REPLACEMENT FOR LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

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

Summary

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

WHILE DRIVING @ APPROXIMATELY 55MPH ON RT 50 NEAR RT 28 IN FAIRFAX CO VA I FELT A SLIGHT VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END WHICH IMMEDIATELY BECAME A VIOLENT VIBRATION TO THE POINT I HAD TROUBLE STEERING THE VEHICLE WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND NEARLY CRASHED. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT OUT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, FULLY EXPECTING TO FIND A FLAT TIRE OR WORSE, THINKING MAYBE A TIRE ACTUALLY FELL OFF. I FOUND NOTHING WRONG WHICH WAS PERPLEXING. I CONTINUED ON MY WAY WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT THAT DAY. SINCE THAT DAY I'VE HAD AT LEAST FIVE MORE INCIDENTS OF THE SAME NATURE WITH VARYING DEGREES OF NEAR MISSES REGARDING AN ACCIDENT. IT'S FRIGHTENING AND CLEARLY SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I'VE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND IT'S APPARENT THE PROBLEM IS WIDELY KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WITH MANY SUGGESTED FIXES. THE DEALER WITH WHOM I HAVE MY JEEP SERVICED HAS ACKNOWLEDGED HEARING ABOUT A FRONT END SHIMMY BUT NO DEATH WOBBLE (FAIROAKS CHRYSLER, DODGE JEEP). THEY SUGGEST REPLACING THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR WITH A "HEAVY DUTY" ONE AND SAID IT WILL FIX THE ISSUE ($660.00). IRONICALLY, THE "HEAVY DUTY" STABILIZER APPEARS TO BE STOCK ON MODELS BEG. WITH THE 2010 MODEL YEAR OR AT A MINIMUM THEY HAVE CHANGED THE CONFIGURATION AND PLACEMENT OF THE STABILIZER WHICH INDICATES TO ME THEY (CHRYSLER/JEEP) CLEARLY RECOGNIZED THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE.

Summary

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

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

Summary

I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA. TWO BIG COMPLAINTS. FIRST, WITH 51,000 MY JEEP HAS STARTED TO EXHIBIT WHAT IS COMMONLY CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE", APPARENTLY NOW AN INFAMOUS REALITY AMONG JEEP OWNERS UP TO THE 2010 MODELS (WHICH I AM TOLD, JEEP CORRECTED WITH A STABILIZER BAR REDESIGN). 45 MPH ON SMOOTH ROADS AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE FRONT END STARTS JUMPING UNCONTROLLABLY, AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET CONTROL IS TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES. I HAVE REBALANCED AND THEN REPLACED THE TIRES, AND HAVE HAD THE FRONT SUSPENSION CHECKED -- EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE IN ORDER, AND NO MECHANIC CAN FIGURE OUT THE TRUE "FIX". I WANT TO KNOW WHY NHTSA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR SERVICE NOTICE ON AN ISSUE THAT IS SO DANGEROUS? THE CONSISTENCY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DESIGN ERROR IN THE STEERING AND FRONT END OF THESE VEHICLES IS OVERWHELMING. SECOND ISSUE IS THAT MY GAS TANK DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE AUTO-CUT-OFF FOR GAS PUMP OPERATIONS -- WHENEVER I FILL UP THE TANK, THE GAS RUSHES UP THE TANK LINE WITH APPARENTLY NO BAFFLING AND COMES POURING OUT. AND NO, I AM NOT AN IDIOT WHO IS OVERFILLING THE TANK -- WHETHER THE PUMP IS ON AUTOMATIC FILL, OR I DO IT CAREFULLY MANUALLY, THE SAME THING HAPPENS -- THE TANK SUDDENLY FILLS AND SHOOTS GAS OUT OF THE FILLER CAP AREA. THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG HERE. I DID SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A PRIOR INVESTIGATION ON A SIMILAR COMPLAINT FOR THESE VEHICLES, AND THAT NHTSA DETERMINED NOT TO PURSUE A RECALL. I THINK THE ISSUE NEEDS TO GET REVISITED. THE LAME DODGE THAT NHTSA BELIEVED THAT MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE WERE "INTERNET DRIVEN" SOUNDS FECKLESS. BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE SAFETY CONCERNS - ESPECIALLY THE DEATH WOBBLE ISSUE -- AND NEED REGULATORY INTERVENTION IN ORDER TO PROTECT CONSUMERS LIKE ME. THANK YOU. *TR

Summary

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

MY VEHICLE SPILLS FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER AREA EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THE FUEL GETS ON ME, THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND.

AFTER THOROUGHLY RESEARCHING THE MATTER, IT SEEMS THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD CONCERN. CHRYSLER HAS ADDRESSED THE ISSUE FOR SOME, BUT NOT OTHERS BECAUSE "WE'RE OUTSIDE THE WINDOW". PLEASE SEE YOUR CODE #PE10032. ALSO, MY VEHICLE CONSUMES OR BURNS OIL AT THE RATE OF ONE QUART PER 1000 MILES. AGAIN, RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS ANOTHER WIDE SPREAD MATTER ATTRIBUTED TO FAULTY MOTOR CONSTRUCTION OF SOME 2007/2008 ENGINES. OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE REPAIR DONE UNDER WARRANTY FOUND THAT ON THREE PISTONS, RING GAPS WHERE IN A LINE, THE OTHER THREE WHERE CLOSE, ALL SIX OIL EXPANDER RINGS AND PISTON RODS WHERE INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN. CHRYSLER WILL ADDRESS THE MATTER ONLY IF YOU ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE COST SHOULD BE BARED BY THE CONSUMER WHEN BOTH MATTERS ARE SO COMMON AND WIDE SPREAD AS TO INDICATE DESIGN FLAWS IN THE PRODUCT. WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR THEIR INABILITY TO BUILD A COMPONENT CORRECTLY?

Summary

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

Summary

FUEL SPIT BACK ISSUE! I RECENTLY JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP FROM A LOCAL DEALER THAT FIRST NIGHT WHILE LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I WENT TO FILL UP MY TANK. THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T FILL UP YOUR TANK IF YOU BUY A USED CAR. WHILE STANDING AND WAITING FOR THE PUMP NOZZLE TO STOP I DID WHAT I USUALLY DO AND WAITED BY THE FUEL NOZZLE. AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE CLICKED LETTING ME KNOW THAT THE TANK WAS FULL AND UPON TAKING OUT THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE I NOTICED THAT ABOUT 3/4 OF A QUART OF GAS POURED OUT ALL OVER MY SHOES. AT FIRST I DIDN'T MIND THIS BUT AFTER A FEW TIMES OF REFUELING TO FULL THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME! IT SEEMS AS IF THERE IS PRESSURE IN THE TANK THAT BUILDS UP AND IS NOT RELEASED DURING FILLING. EACH AND EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN AND PUMP UNTIL FULL ALSO IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE FUEL PUMP IS ON HIGH PRESSURE OR LOW PRESSURE. GAS POURS OUT!

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X HAS EXPERIENCED WHAT SOME ARE CALLING "DEATH WOBBLE". A VIOLENT UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING OF THE FRONT WHEELS WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45MPH. WHEN THE WHEELS ENCOUNTER A BUMP, EVEN THE SLIGHTEST, IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND WILL NOT STOP SHAKING UNTIL I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS IS EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS ON THE INTERSTATE AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS COLLISIONS. THIS OCCURRED OVER 40 TIMES BEFORE I COULD SOLVE THE ISSUE. AFTER INSTALLING AN AFTERMARKET HEAVY DUTY FRONT TRACK BAR, THE WOBBLE CEASED TO EXIST. MY EVALUATION: THE FRONT TRACK BAR THAT COMES STANDARD EQUIPPED ON THE JK-CHASSIS WRANGLER IS NOT SUITABLE FOR SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 45MPH AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A STRONGER ONE BEFORE SERIOUS DAMAGE CAN OCCUR TO OWNERS, THEIR VEHICLES AND PASSENGERS, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. *TR

THE GAS SPILLS OUT AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND CREATING A PUDDLE. THIS PROBLEM ISN'T ATTRIBUTABLE TO TRYING TO "TOP OFF" THE TANK BECAUSE THE BY THE FIRST TIME THE AUTO STOP CLICKS, THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY POURING OUT GASOLINE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY OTHER OWNERS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE SAID THE SAME THING.

Summary

ON MARCH 3, 2009, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN, IT WOULD DING AT ME AND GO OFF AND THEN ON. WHEN I'M DROVE NORMALLY, AND USUALLY STRAIGHT, THE LIGHT JUST STAYED ON WITH NO DING. THROUGH RESEARCH, I'VE COME TO FIND THAT MY CLOCKSPRING WAS FAULTY AND MAY NOT DEPLOY MY AIRBAG IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THIS FIXED THROUGH CHRYSLER. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. NOW, ON JAN. 15, 2011 WITH 103,769 MILES, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND DID THE SAME THING AS PREVIOUSLY. I WENT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT, ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME, AGAIN, IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED AGAIN. CONSIDERING THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND I HAD TO PAY BOTH TIMES. IF I DIDN'T GET THIS FIXED, AND I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT, MY AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

2007 JEEP WRANGLER - EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK, SINCE ROUGHLY 10,000 MILES (NOW AT 63,000) THE AUTO SHUT OFF FEATURE OF GAS PUMPS WILL NOT SHUT OFF IN TIME. THIS CAUSES ROUGHLY 1/4 GALLON OF FUEL TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING SITUATION FOR A COUPLE YEARS. I CANNOT RELY ON THE AUTO-SHUT OFF OF THE PUMP WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, SINCE THE NEW MODEL FROM 2007. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY WERE DENIED BY DEALERSHIPS.

THIS IS MY SECOND 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND BOTH HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE. EACH VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH THE CORRECT GASOLINE AS PRESCRIBED BY THE MANUAL AND ALL MAINTENANCE WAS DONE AT A 5 STAR JEEP DEALER ON BOTH.

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, AND THE FRONT END BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I STARTED PULLING OVER AND WHEN I GOT DOWN TO 35 MPH, THE SHAKING STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS WITHOUT INCIDENCE, AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. THIS WAS A STOCK JEEP BOUGHT NEW WITHOUT ANY AFTER-MARKET ALTERATIONS WITH ONLY 52K MILES. I TOOK IT INTO MIDAS, AND THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW STEERING STABILIZER. THEY REPLACED IT, AND IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC, AND THEY REPLACED TRACKBAR, BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO MIDAS, AND THEY PUT ANOTHER NEW STABILIZER, STILL HAD THE PROBLEM WITH EVER-INCREASING FREQUENCY. I PUT NEW TIRES ON THE CAR, AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT 20K MILES. AT 73K, THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. THIS TIME I TOOK IT THE JEEP DEALER. THEY KNEW WHAT THE "DEATH WOBBLE" WAS, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK EVERYTHING. THEY REPORTED BACK THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE COMPONENTS, AND SUGGESTED I GET THE TIRES BALANCED AGAIN. I GOT THE TIRES BALANCED AND TOOK IT BACK A WEEK LATER TO THE DEALER AS THE PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING WITH MORE FREQUENCY, AND NOW WAS OCCURRING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45-55 MPH. I SUGGESTED A PARTICULAR PATCH OF HIGHWAY FOR A TEST DRIVE. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID, "THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG." THEY THEN WORKED WITH CHRYSLER TO IDENTIFY AND "SOLVE" THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE TIRE RODS AND JOINTS. THREE DAYS LATER I EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM AGAIN, AND THEN AGAIN, AND AGAIN. I HAVE SPENT APPROXIMATELY $1400 TO "FIX" THIS PROBLEM, AND IT CONTINUES TO PERSIST. DO AN ONLINE SEARCH OF "DEATH WOBBLE" AND YOU'LL FIND ENTRY AFTER ENTRY AND EVEN VIDEOS. I'M REALLY WORRIED THAT ONE OF THESE TIMES WHEN I AND FORCED TO QUICKLY SLOW DOWN AND HEAD TO THE SHOULDER, I'M GOING TO END UP REAR ENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER.

I DO NOT RECALLING THIS HAPPENING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, IT'S ONLY RECENTLY THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED. PROBABLY STARTED AROUND 8 MONTHS AGO.

FUEL SPILLS OUT ONTO THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND AND ALSO MYSELF. SOMETIMES TO THE POINT THAT I'VE HAD TO CHANGE CLOTHES DUE TO FUEL SPLASHING ONTO MY GARMENTS. *TR

Summary

WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, TRAVELING 65 MPH NORTH ON I-95, MELBOURNE, FLORIDA, THE WRANGLER STEERING WHEEL STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY ALMOST LOOSING MY GRIP. THE ENTIRE JEEP STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AS IF THE WHEELS WERE COMING OFF. I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES, TURN ON EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 25 MPH. THE WRANGLER EVENED OUT AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO 25MPH ON I-95. THE STEERING WHEEL, BEING ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLE, COULD HAVE CAUSED LIVES LOST. PLEASE DON'T WAIT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE NOW. THIS IS A STOCK JEEP. THANK YOU.

Summary

2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DOOR 1) NEARLY EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, WHICH HOLDS 15 - 16 GALLONS PER MY ESTIMATE AND FILL-UP HISTORY, IT OVERFLOWS (I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 13 MONTHS, FILL UP TWICE A WEEK; 56 WEEKS X 2 = 112 * 0.90 = 100 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED). THE OVERFLOW IS NOT BECAUSE THE TANK IS OVER-FILLED, AS IT IS POSSIBLE, IN MY EXPERIENCE, TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL GALLON AFTER INITIAL OVERFLOW. 2) THE MECHANISM THAT SHUTS OFF THE PUMP HANDLE AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS BECOMING FULL DOES NOT STOP THE PUMP. THIS RESULTS IN EXCESS FUEL ENDING UP ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY CAR, THE ATTACHED GAS CAP, AND ONE'S SHOES AND PERSON IF ONE IS NOT EXPECTING THE FUEL TO SPIT BACK OUT. 3) NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AS OF YET TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. *TR

A WEEK LATER I WAS AT ANOTHER GAS STATION FILLING UP WITH GAS AND IT DID IT AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME GAS SPILLED ALL OVER MY JEEP, PANTS AND SHOES. EVERY SINCE THE FIRST EPISODE IT HAD HAPPENED EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I HAVE TRIED TO HOLD THE NOZZLE AND PUMP IT SLOWLY, BUT IT STILL HAPPENS. IT IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING TO HAVE TO WASH THE SIDE OF MY JEEP OFF EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS. THIS COULD BE A VERY BIG ISSUE. I HAD THE GAS SPILL ALL OVER MY JEANS AND SHOES MAKING THEM BOTH FLAMMABLE. ALSO, IT COULD HAVE SPLASHED INTO MY EYES. I THINK JEEP NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

Summary

I ACQUIRED MY JEEP WRANGLER (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) IN JANUARY OF 2007, SHORTLY THEREAFTER IT STARTED POPPING OUT OF 1ST GEAR. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH, IT HAS PROGRESSED TO A POINT WHERE IT WAS DOING IT 4-6 TIMES PER DAY. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT I WAS NOT ENGAGING IT PROPERLY, BUT I'VE SUBSEQUENTLY TRIED TO HOLD IT IN 1ST GEAR AND IT FORCES ITSELF OUT OF GEAR SO HARD THAT IT ALMOST BROKE MY WRIST. I'VE NOTICED THAT IT POPS OUT MORE UPON LOW TO MEDIUM ACCELERATION. LAST MONTH, I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE A RIGHT HAD TURN. AS I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE THE TURN FROM A STOPPED POSITION, UPON MODERATE ACCELERATION, THE TRANSMISSION POPPED OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND LEFT ME STALLED IN NEUTRAL IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE BEHIND WAS ABLE TO SKID AND BARELY HIT MY SLOWED VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT MY WIFE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS SHE FELT IT WAS TWO DANGEROUS. I WAS NOW CONVINCED THAT THIS CONDITION WAS VERY UNSAFE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE (@49,500 MILES) TO A JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP UPDATED THE 1-2 SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY WITH STRONGER DETENT SPRINGS PURSUANT TO THE CHRYSLER/JEEP TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 21-001-10 THAT WAS ISSUED ON MARCH 2, 2010. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT IN ORDER TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ADDITIONAL VEHICLE OWNERS. *TR

Summary

2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN LEAVING A STOP, MANUAL TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR ON ACCELERATION. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN ACCELERATION IS NEEDED MOST OF ALL SUCH AS WHEN TURNING LEFT ON A BUSY 4-LANE ROAD. DRIVER IS THEN UNABLE TO PUT CAR IN ANY GEAR FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THIS WILL LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT EVENTUALLY BY BEING HIT BROADSIDE OR FROM THE REAR IF STALLED LEAVING A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. DEALER ACTS LIKE THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS BUT THE WEB IS FULL OF SIMILAR REPORTS. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS OTHER THAN A TRANSMISSION REDESIGN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15 TIMES IN THE PAST 3-YEARS. THE ONLY THING THAT SEEMS TO HELP IS TO HOLD THE SHIFTER FIRMLY IN 1ST GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING TO PREVENT IT FROM POPPING OUT OF GEAR. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TRADE THE JEEP BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALER WILL SELL IT TO SOME POOR UNSUSPECTING PERSON WHO WILL PROBABLY KILL HIMSELF. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 MODEL JEEP WRANGLER. WE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING DAMPENER. IT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON SEVERAL MODELS EXCEPT THIS ONE. WE ARE HAVING TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE WE HAVE THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE". I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY THAT THEY HAVEN'T RECALLED IT ON THIS MODEL YET WHEN WE WENT TO REPLACE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP, YOU CANNOT PURCHASE THE ORIGINAL. YOU CAN ONLY PURCHASE THE NEW ONE WHICH REQUIRES ALL NEW BRACKETS FOR INSTALLATION. WE HAVE 2 FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE SAME MODEL JEEP THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. MY HUSBAND WAS NEARLY HIT HEAD ON BY A SEMI BECAUSE WHEN THE WOBBLE STARTS IT SHAKES THE ENTIRE FRONT END AND YOU MUST SLAM ON YOUR BRAKES TO MAKE IT STOP. WHEN HE DID THIS IT THREW HIM INTO THE OTHER LANE ALMOST HITTING THE SEMI TRUCK. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED?? *TR

THE CHRYSLER GROUP LLC AND MIDWAY JEEP CHRYSLER LOCATED AT 777 CAMINO DEL RIO SOUTH IN SAN DIEGO, CA ARE COLLUDING THE DENY CONSUMER RIGHTS AFFORDED ME UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL LAW, BREACH OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND VIOLATION OF STATE AND FEDERAL CLEAN VEHICLE EMISSION REGULATIONS. I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X ON APRIL 13TH, 2007. SINCE THEN, I HAVE TO ADD 6 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE VEHICLES WARRANTY. AFTER CURSORY EXAMINATION THAT INCLUDED VISUALLY CHECKING THE DIP STICK, VISUALLY CHECKING THE SPARK PLUGS, PVC, AND CVC VALVES, I WAS TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR MIDWAY JEEP CHRYSLER STATED THAT USING 6 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES IS PERFECTLY NORMAL AND MIDWAY JEEP NOR CHRYSLER WILL NOT PERFORM ANY OTHER INVESTIGATIVE DIAGNOSTICS, NOR MAKE ANY REPAIRS TO VEHICLE. THEY APPEAR TO BE COLLUDING TO 'RUN OUT THE CLOCK' FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRES ON APRIL 12TH, 2010. AFTER CONSULTING AUTOMOTIVE EXPERTS AND TECHNICIANS, WHICH I HIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE, HAVE BEEN UNANIMOUS IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS THAT THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS SERIOUS INTERNAL MECHANICAL ISSUES AND THE ENGINE WILL FAIL. FURTHER MORE, THE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING CONSUMED IS DESTROYING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, OXYGEN SENSORS AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS WILL RENDER THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW AND REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL REPAIRS AT GREAT COST. *TR

WHEN TRYING TO DO A COMPLETE FILL-UP OF FUEL, THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AS IT SHOULD, AND THEN A MODERATE AMOUNT OF FUEL WILL "BURP" OUT OF THE OPENING.

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

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

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 THAT THEY FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND FIX IT. SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD CALL THE CHRYSLER TECH SUPPORT TEAM TO HELP WITH SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THEY STATED THAT THE PROBLEMS CAUSED ON MARCH 3 AND MARCH 4 WERE BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS LOW AND THE ESP WAS ACTIVATING PREMATURELY. THEY STATED LOW BATTERY WAS CAUSING THE POWER FAILURE AND THE ESP WAS CAUSING THE SHAKING OF THE CAR. SERVICE CENTER REPLACED THE BATTERY AND FIX THE MODULE THAT CONTROLLED ESP. *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.

Summary

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

Summary

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

Summary

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

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

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

Summary

ON FEB 5TH, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH AND MY CAR DIED - DASH LIGHTS WENT ON, CAR JERKED TO A VIOLENT SLOW DOWN AND I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A SEMI ON MY LEFT, THE CAR PULLED TO THE LEFT. ALL RESUMED TO NORMAL AFTER ABOUT 4 SECONDS. I HAVE FILED PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, CONF NBR 10188682. THIS IS THE 4TH INCIDENT BUT WHAT IS MOST SHOCKING IS THAT THE FIRST 2 TIMES I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP REPAID SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ERROR AND THAT THEY AND CHRYSLER CORP DIDN'T HAVE RECORD OF ANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM. ON THE 2ND VISIT, I ADVISED THE SERVICE PERSON THAT HE SHOULD LOOK AT THIS WEB SITE IF HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. ON THE 3RD INCIDENT, WHEN I GOT HOME, THERE WAS A RECALL "SAFETY RECALL G25-PROGRAM TIPM-ENGINE STALLING- SO I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER, AGAIN, ADVISED THAT CAR STALLED AGAIN AND THAT I ALSO RECEIVED RECALL AND SCHEDULED THE SERVICE - AUG 2007. AFTER THIS VISIT I FELT MORE SECURE TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE AT LEAST CHRYSLER HAD ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. THE ON FEB 5TH 2008 AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CONTINUED TO WORK AND AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START, ALL LIGHTS/RADIO ETC CAME ON BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN OVER. I HAD IT TOWED TO JEEP. I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE PERSON, AFTER THE CAR WAS INSPECTED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE - SAME ITEM THAT CAUSED PREVIOUS PROBLEMS, HAD TO BE REPLACED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW, SO THAT I WOULD HAVE A DEPENDABLE AND SAFE VEHICLE - NEITHER OF WHICH IT IS! I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHAT CHRYSLER COULD DO FOR ME. HE SAID THAT FROM THE NOTES IT LOOKED LIKE I ONLY HAD ONE OCCURRENCE WITH THIS ISSUE AND THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST HE HEARD OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH JEEP - WOW - EITHER HE OUT RIGHT LIED TO ME OR HE IS AN UNINFORMED MANAGER. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM NOT CONFIDENT THAT THIS ISSUE WONT OCCUR AGAIN! *TR

AS YOU DRIVE ON SNOWY ROADS THE TIRES THROW SNOW, ICE ETC.. INTO THIS TRENCH. WHILE CENTRIFUGAL FORCE HOLD THE SUBSTANCE IN PLACE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE WHEELS ARE OUT OF EXTREME BALANCE SHAKING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. I CONTACTED JEEP ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, HOPEFULLY YOU CAN. THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THIS TYPE OF RIM AND HOPEFULLY THE LAST. *TR

Summary

WHILE NEGOTIATING A RIGHT HAND CURVE ON A LOCAL TOWN ROAD IN MY 07 JEEP WRANGLER X, 2-DR, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE ENGINE STALLED FOR APPROX. 2 SECONDS AND THEN RESTARTED ITSELF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING (I ASSUME) AS STEERING/CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH WITH NO PASSENGERS. THIS VEHICLE HAS A BUILD DATE OF 04/17/07 AND WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM A JEEP DEALER ON 07/02/07. THE VEHICLE HAD 4166 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. AFTER CHECKING DAIMLERCHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL G25, REPROGRAM TIPM - ENGINE STALLING DATED JULY 2007, I SEE THAT ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE EXACT SYMPTOMS LISTED, THE BUILD DATE OF MY VEHICLE FALLS OUTSIDE THE DATE LISTED IN THE RECALL (01-22-07). OBVIOUSLY THIS NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. THIS CAN ALSO BE VERIFIED VIA THE FOLLOWING INTERNET FORUM THREAD: "HTTP://WWW.JK-FORUM.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=2366" THIS FORUM INCLUDES QUITE A FEW OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE INCLUDING MANY THAT; 1) HAVE HAD THE RECALL PROCEDURE PERFORMED ALREADY; 2) HAVE A VEHICLE OUTSIDE OF THE SPECIFIED BUILD DATE; OR 3) ACTUALLY OWN A 2008 MODEL YEAR JEEP WRANGLER. IT SEEMS THE RECALL PROCEDURE OR "FIX" DOES NOT ACTUALLY CORRECT THIS ISSUE AND THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE LATER BUILD DATES. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING IN A SLOWER, LOW TRAFFIC, LESS HAZARDOUS SITUATION DURING MY FIRST INCIDENT BUT NOW I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THIS OCCURS AGAIN DURING FASTER, HIGHWAY USE OR IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WITH FAMILY MEMBERS/PASSENGERS THE OUTCOME COULD BE DISASTROUS. MY VEHICLE IS NEVER ABUSED AND WELL MAINTAINED. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF FURTHER DETAILS ARE REQUIRED. *TR

SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH IT HAS AT LEAST HAD APPROXIMATELY 100 TIMES OF EXCESSIVE CRANK TIME. I FEAR IT MAY BE DESTROYING THE ENGINE OR ? I'VE ALSO HAD ONE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER CALL ME 'CRAZY' AND REPORTED THAT IT WAS NOT HAPPENING BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. AFTER HIS RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL REMARK, I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER SHIP WHO TREATED ME WITH RESPECT, BUT AGAIN, THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE EXCESSIVE CRANK.

MEAN WHILE MY JEEP KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY FIXED IT. BUT THEY ONLY MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. NOW IT DOES SAME MORE OFTEN SO TOOK IT BACK. NOW THEY SAY THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THAT AS FAR AS THEY ARE CONCERNED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND THEY CLAIM THEY ALREADY FIXED THE RECALL PROBLEM . I TOLD THEM THEY DID NOT. THEN THEY SUGGESTED THAT I LET ONE OF THEIR HOURLY MECHANIC'S DRIVE IT HOME WITH HIM TO DO FURTHER TESTS ON HIS WAY HOME. I REFUSED TO LET THEM DRIVE MY JEEP HOME. SO I PICKED IT UP. THE PAPER THEY FORCED ME TO SIGN BEFORE THEY WOULD LET ME HAVE IT STATED THAT I REFUSED FURTHER TESTS.. THAT IS A LIE.

Summary

REF: WRANGLER STALLING PROBLEM (PE07027). JEEP WRANGLER 2DR 4WD 2007 AUTO TRANS. VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE A TRANSIENT ELECTRONICS FAULT IN HOT WEATHER. WHEN THE FAULT OCCURS, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLASH FOR ABOUT A SECOND (SIMILAR TO AT ENGINE START). ON THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THERE WAS A BRIEF LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND THE BRAKES MAY HAVE APPLIED MOMENTARILY, AS IF THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM HAD ACTIVATED. ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED AS IF AT STARTUP. CD PLAYER STOPPED. THIS WAS AT 25MPH ON A FLAT RESIDENTIAL STREET, ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STARTED AFTER SOAKING IN HOT SUN ON A 90F+ DAY. THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION WITHIN ONE SECOND. SERVICE ADVISOR AT DEALERSHIP (BOARDWALK AUTO, REDWOOD CITY, CA) ADVISED ME TO CALL BACK IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS CLIMBING A MODERATE HILL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC (CALIFORNIA RT 92 BETWEEN I-280 AND SKYLINE BLVD, A WELL KNOWN HEAVILY TRAVELED HILL). THE ENGINE RPMS SUDDENLY INCREASED FROM ABOUT 1,500 TO ABOUT 3,000 RPM AS THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED UNEXPECTEDLY. ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED ON, THEN RESET TO NORMAL. AGAIN, THIS HAPPENED ON AN UNUSUALLY HOT DAY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD SPENT MOST OF THE DAY PARKED IN SUNLIGHT. SERVICE ADVISOR AT DEALERSHIP (BOARDWALK AUTO, REDWOOD CITY, CA) ADVISED ME TO CALL BACK IF IT HAPPENED A THIRD TIME. IN ALL CASES, THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE WAS NORMAL. AFTER READING ABOUT THE "WRANGLER STALLING PROBLEM", I WANTED TO PUT THIS ON THE RECORD, TO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *TR

Summary

APPROX. 3 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR NEW 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WE EXPERIENCED A PREMATURE ENGAGEMENT OF THE ESP SYSTEM UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AT A SPEED OF 35MPH. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE DUE TO AUTOMATIC BRAKING AND SHUT DOWN OF THROTTLE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED 3 LEAKING BRAKE CALIPERS. APPROX. 2 WEEKS LATER WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE AT A LOW SPEED. WE IMMEDIATELY RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED THE REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. AGAIN, 1 WEEK LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE. CHRYSLER SERVICE REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR. THE 4TH INCIDENT OCCURRED 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CANNOT DUPLICATE OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM. WE FILED A LEMON LAW CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER SETTLEMENT. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY WILL BE REPLACING THE VEHICLE AND THE PAPERWORK IS BEING PROCESSED.

Summary

2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK: 2 DOOR:MODEL X:MANUAL TRANSMISSION: PURCHASED ON 3/29/07: AT 2,833 MILES, MY VEHICLE STALLED ON INTERSTATE 10 AT 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE STALLED DISABLING ALL POWER TO THE CONTROLS FOR 3 SECONDS DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE THEN RESTARTED ON ITS OWN AND I CONTINUED ON MY WAY, THINKING IT WAS SIMPLY A MINOR MALFUNCTION. IT RECURRED AT 5,180 MILES WHILE I WAS IN NEUTRAL GEAR, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND 2 SECONDS LATER IT RESTARTED ON ITS OWN. AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE, I WENT TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM ONLINE. I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOW CALLED "THE STALL BUG" AND IT IS HAPPENING TO HUNDREDS OF 2007 JEEP JK WRANGLER OWNERS ON BOTH MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. I FOUND THAT MANY OF THE OWNERS WHO HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM HAVE TAKEN THEIR VEHICLES TO THEIR JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ENDS UP SENDING THEM BACK WITHOUT THE PROBLEM BEING FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. AS SOON AS I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS THIS GROSSLY OVERLOOKED PROBLEM, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED (6/30/07). MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING LOOKED AT BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, BUT FROM THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM YET AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL MOST LIKELY SEND ME HOME WITH A TICKING TIME BOMB OF A VEHICLE AS IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE STALL WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AT AROUND 9,000 MILES.

THE PROBLEM LASTED FOR ABOUT 3-SECOND BEFORE ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED AT ONCE AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3-TIMES SO FAR, ANDWAS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN AS CONTROL AND BRAKING OF THE VEHICLEWAS LOST WITH NO POWER STEERING AND ABS . *AK

NOTHING LED TO THE FAILURE OTHER THAN NORMAL DRIVING. I WAS ACCELERATING UP AN ON RAMP TO INTERSTATE 75 WHEN THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER THAT I WAS DRIVING, STALLED. ALL POWER APPEARED TO BE GONE, BUT WITHIN 2-3 SECONDS, THE VEHICLE "RESTARTED" AND I CONTINUED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. JANUARY 2007. SIMILARLY, WHILE PARKED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED, BUT DID NOT RESTART. MAY, 2007. BOTH STALLS WERE NOT PRECEEDED BY ANY NOTICE, NO WINDDOWN, NO DIESELING, NOTHING. I HAVE NOT AS YET TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THIS, AS I AM CONFIDENT WITH THE INFREQUENCY, THERE IS NO WAY THEY CAN DIAGNOSE.

Summary

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK HAS STALLED AND LOST ALL ELECTRICAL TWICE NOW. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ABOUT THE JK. THE STALL OCCURRED ONCE AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND MOST RECENTLY WHILE ACCELERATING. WHEN THE STALL OCCURS, ALL ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTION CEASE FOR ABOUT 3-4 SECONDS. IT'S AS IF I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION. THEN ALL THE DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATE AND THE ENGINE SEEMS TO RESTART ON ITS OWN (THIS MAY BE DUE TO THE FACT I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THE WHEELS ARE ROLLING). I KNOW OF AT LEAST 60 PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN INCONVENIENCE BUT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE STALL THE FIRST TIME I ALMOST WENT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE SECOND STALL HAD TRAFFIC SKIDDING TO STOP BEHIND ME AS THE JEEP LOST POWER AND ELECTRICAL WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC. I'VE TALKED TO A FEW DEALERS AND THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE ISSUE AND CAN OFFER NO REASONS AS TO WHY THE STALL IS OCCURRING. THIS IS DUE TO THE DEALERS NOT RECEIVING ANY TECHNICAL BULLETIN''S CONCERNING AN ISSUE OR EVEN A POTENTIAL ISSUE FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER. THIS INDICATES TO ME ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS BEING DONE AT THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER CORPORATE OFFICES. I AM A HUGE FAN OF JEEP AND HAVE OWNED THREE WRANGLERS IN THE PAST. I HATE THE FACT THAT MOST RECENT WRANGLER HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. NO POWER AMENITIES GROUP. BUILD DATE OF 9/12/2006. IT HAS A RANDOM STALLING PROBLEM AND HAS SINCE I PURCHASED IT. IT HAS STALLED AT LEAST 6 TIMES ON ME THAT I CAN RECALL. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY PATTERN THAT I CAN RELATE, SPEED IS IRRELEVANT, IT HAS HAPPENED AT DEAD STOPS, AND AT 65MPH THRUWAY SPEEDS. IT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING; ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS COME ON, IMMEDIATELY EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN. RADIO, LIGHTS, DASH GAUGES, ENGINE, EVERYTHING. NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES, EVERYTHING IS GONE. THIS HAPPENS FOR MAYBE A SECOND OR TWO. SOMETIMES IT COMES BACK ON BY ITSELF, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY ATTEMPTED THE COMPUTER REFLASH. IT HAD NO EFFECT. I HAVE NO COMPLAINT WITH CECCONI'S CHRYSLER, THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. I HAVE HAD 3 ISSUES WITH IT STALLING OR WITH SYSTEMS FAILURE. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED ON THE DATE LISTED BELOW. I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION AT ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN MY JEEP LOST POWER FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. LUCKILY, I MADE IT THROUGH WITHOUT ANY ISSUES AND THE POWER RESUMED. 3 DAYS LATER, I TOOK MY JEEP INTO MY LOCAL DEALER (WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED) AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO DIAGNOSTIC THAT COULD BE PERFORMED ON IT AT THAT TIME BECAUSE THE SOFTWARE WASN'T AVAILABLE YET. SINCE THAT DATE, I HAVE HAD 2 OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES. ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, MY JEEP STALLED OUT AT A STOPLIGHT. I HAD TO RESTART THE ENGINE. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I STARTED MY JEEP IN THE EARLY MORNING TO WARM IT UP BEFORE WORK, AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES, AND AS NO LONGER RUNNING. I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS UNTIL I READ AN ARTICLE RECENTLY ABOUT OTHERS HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR 2007 JEEP WRANGLERS. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE MY STORIES WERE KNOWN, TOO! THANKS! *TR

I AM THE OWNER OR A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X 4X4 6SPD. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROX 2,600 MILES ON IT. ON MAY 30TH I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA WHEN I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. I WAS ON MY WAY TO GET GAS AND MY GAS LIGHT WAS ON (I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS RELEVANT OR NOT BUT I WILL REPORT IT). WHILE APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN, WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AT ABOUT 3 MPH THE VEHICLE JUST STALLED. NO REAL WARNING JUST A FLASH OF THE RADIO LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS AND THE VEHICLE DIED. I THOUGHT IT HAD RUN OUT OF GAS BUT IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. THEN I THOUGHT POSSIBLY THE GAS WAS VERY LOW BUT THERE WERE STILL 2 GALLONS LEFT IN THE TANK AS I FOUND OUT WHEN I FILLED UP THE TANK 2 MINUTES LATER. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I RESEARCHED THIS "STALL" A LITTLE MORE ONLINE. I CAME ACROSS JK-FORUM.COM AND THIS WAS NOT JUST AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM IN WHICH THE DEALERS POKE AND HOPE WITH THEIR REPAIRS AND THEY DO NOT WORK. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE. I THINK ABOUT IT EVERYTIME I SET IN MY VEHICLE NOW WAITING FOR IT TO STALL IN AN EVEN WORSE SITUATION SUCH AS A HIGHWAY OFF OR ON RAMP OR SOMETHING. CHRYSLER MUST BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FINDING A FIX ASAP IN MY OPINION. *TR

WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALL TURN ON AS IF THE CAR WAS JUST STARTED, THE BRAKES AND STEERING STOP RESPONDING AND THE ENGINE SEEMS TO EITHER TURN OFF COMPLETELY OR GO SILENT. THIS LASTS FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN THE VEHICLE POWERS UP AGAIN AND ACTS AS IF NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR ON STRAIGHT LANES AND AM WORRIED THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF IT HAPPENS ON A CURVE OR WHEN I NEED TO USE MY BRAKES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO JEEP AND WAS GIVEN THE RESPONSE "CANNOT DUPLICATE, NO ACTION TAKEN" BUT THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME AND DON'T WANT THEM TO FINALLY TAKE THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY WHEN MY WIFE, 5 MONTH OLD INFANT AND MYSELF ARE ON THE NEWS BECAUSE WE DIED ON THE ROAD. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH ON A LEVEL ROAD; THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER COMPLETELY FAILED. JUST AS QUICKLY AS THE ENGINE/ELECTRICAL CUT OUT (WITHIN 1-2 SECONDS) ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED ON ITS OWN. WHAT MADE THIS EVENT A DANGER TO ME AND POSSIBLY OTHERS ON THE ROAD IS WHEN THE ENGINE DIED I ALSO LOST POWER STEERING. THIS CAUSING ME TO MOVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC (I WAS ROUNDING A SWEEPING CORNER AT THE TIME). WHEN THE ENGINE RESTARTED IT CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO IMMEDIATELY COME BACK WHICH IN TURN CAUSED A QUICK JERK BACK INTO MY LANE OF TRAVEL. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MANEUVER GIVEN THE TYPE OF VEHICLE THIS IS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MANY 2007 JEEP WRANGLERS. *JB

THE ENGINE AND LIGHTS WILL STAY OFF FOR AN AVERAGE OF A 4 TO 6 SECONDS AND THE VEHICLE WILL START BACK UP AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IN THE FACT THAT DURING THIS TIME PERIOD ALL VEHICLE CONTROL IS LOST. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

Summary

WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN,ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. A FEW SECONDS LATER IT RESTARTED. IF THE INTERSECTION WAS A 2 WAY STOP THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. A DEALER WAS HESITANT TO FIX A PROBLEM IF IT COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM , AND I KNEW OF AT LEAST 50 PEOPLE THAT HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. IT SEEMED TO HAPPEN EVERY 2000 MILES. THE ORIGINAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) TO FIX THIS PROBLEM DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK

Summary

I WAS LEAVING WORK ON 3/15/07 AND GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ABOUT 65 MPH IN THE RAIN WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I WAS DOING NOTHING BUT DRIVING WHEN THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF THE GAUGES WENT NUTS. I DRIVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND IT HAS ONLY 2000 MILES ON IT. I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR EVEN KILLED BY THIS EVENT. TODAY ON MY WAY BACK TO WORK THE JEEP WAS SHAKING BADLY LOTS OF VIBRATION AT HIWAY SPEEDS. ONCE AGAIN I JUST BOUGHT IT BACK IN DECEMBER AND NOW IT SHUTS OFF AND IS ONE BIG VIBRATOR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I WILL BE TAKING THE JEEP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I WILL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THEY WILL FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT SINCE THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON OR ANY OTHER SYMPTONS. I WOULD LIKE THIS INVESTAGATED. I HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE A RECALL BEFORE TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FROM THIS. BUT GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPPEDS AND YOUR ENGINE SHUTTING OFF AND HAVEING NO CONTROL OVER YOUR VEHICLE IS A PERFECT RECIPE FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
