2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH IN THE RAIN THE SOFT TOP ON THE VEHICLE BEGAN LEAKING ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS SIDE WHERE THE DOORS MEET. IF WATER LEAKED ON THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE THEY COULD RUST OR A FIRE MAY OCCUR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE WATER LEAK AND THEY REPLACED THE DOOR SEALS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE; HOWEVER, THAT HAS NOT REMEDIED THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE SOFT TOP AND THE DOOR SEALS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE LEAKING SOFT TOP AND THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,500.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS RUBBING THROUGH THE BRAKE LINE; THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND MOVED; THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT IF THE LINE WAS NOT REPLACED, BRAKE FLUID WOULD LEAK OUT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2007 4-DOOR JEEP WRANGLER ON THE INTERSTATE 4 WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT WHEN I HIT A HOLE IN THE ROAD OR A BUMP THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHOOK, CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHAKE BACK AND FORTH CAUSING ME TO ALMOST SKIP LANES AND ALMOST HIT A SEMI TRUCK IN THE NEXT LANE. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM USED ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO (10,000 MILES AGO). I HAVE MADE 3 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST 4 WEEKS AND THE SHAKING HAS BECOME WORSE. THE LAST 2 DAYS WHILE DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK, I LITERALLY THOUGHT THAT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS GOING TO COME OFF OR THAT THE FRAME WAS GOING TO BRAKE! I PULLED OFF OF THE INTERSTATE MANY TIMES ON MY 30 MILE TRIP AND DIDN'T DRIVE OVER 40MPH. I ASKED THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP TO DRIVE THE JEEP WITH ME ON THE INTERSTATE TODAY. HE SAID THAT HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG BUT IT FELT LIKE THE ENTIRE FRAME IS VIOLENTLY SHAKING. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS I AM UNABLE TO CONTROL IT WHEN THIS OCCURS. I SHOULD MENTION 2 MORE THINGS...1. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN ONE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HITS A BUMP, NOT WHEN BOTH TIRES HIT AT THE SAME TIME, LIKE HITTING A POT HOLE WITH LEFT TIRE. 2. MANY OWNERS OF THIS EXACT MAKE AND MODEL ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ON-LINE AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE SITE WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO, DESPITE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY REPLACING PART AFTER PART CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE LACK OF TEMPERATURE CONTROL OF THE COOLING SYSTEM BUT CHRYSLER HAS NOT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE FROM THIS DESIGN FLAW AND IT MUST BE ADDRESSED SOON. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I HAVE TO TRAVEL THE INTERSTATE TO GET TO WORK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50-60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN WOBBLING AND SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. SHE NOTICED THE PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000.

I BOUGHT A USED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR WITH 34,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD FILED THE GAS TANK SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO HAVE IT BACKFLOW ON TO ME AND THE SIDE OF THE JEEP MAKING A REAL MESS AND CREATING A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. OF COURSE I BLAMED THE SERVICE STATION PUMP FOR NOT STOPPING IN TIME BUT THIS HAPPENS ON EVERY FILL UP WHEN TRYING TO FILL THE TANK FULL. THIS PROBLEM IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. MY WARRANTY IS UP 40,000 MILES AND I AM TOLD IT NEEDS A NEW GAS TANK TO REPAIR WHICH OF COURSE IS SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS OF REPAIR COST. THIS FAULTY PART DEMANDS A SAFETY RECALL BE IMPLEMENTED OR MAYBE A POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED. *TR

CHRYSLERS RECALL FOR THE TEMPERATURE WARNING ADDRESSED THE SYMPTOM NOT THE PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE STILL OVERHEATING IN THE WRANGLER. THE SOLUTION IS A $50 TRANSMISSION COOLER. THIS CAN HAPPEN BOTH WHEN OFF ROADING(WHICH THE WRANGLER IS BUILT FOR) BUT OTHERS IN OUR JEEP GROUP HAVE HAD THE SITUATION HAPPEN ON ROAD. MY SITUATION HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON APPROXIMATELY A 20% GRADE ON A DIRT ROAD AT 20 MPH---HOT OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS FORCED TO STOP DRIVING TO ALLOW COOLING---LATER FOUND OUT FROM THE JK-FORUM ONLINE JEEP GROUP THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON AND THAT DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT CORRECTING WITH TRANSMISSION COOLER...BUT IT IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE SOME MECHANIC SKILLS. THE ISSUES IS...IF YOU ADD THE COOLER CHRYSLER CAN VOID YOU WARRANTY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS I SAID THEIR RECALL UNDER YOUR NUMBER 09V436000 ADDRESSED THE SYMPTOM BUT DID NOT SOLVER THE REAL ISSUE---[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL WILL OVERFLOW AND SPRAY OR RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF VEHICLE, ONTO THE BUMPER, FENDER FLARE, THEN SPLATTERS ON THE GROUND. WE HAVE LEARNED NOT TO STAND CLOSE THE VEHICLE SO WE DON'T HAVE FUEL SPLATTERED ON OUR PANTS AND SHOES. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN JULY '07 AND THIS PROBLEM DID NOT START HAPPENING UNTIL AUGUST THIS YEAR ' AT APPROXIMATE MILEAGE 39,500. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X HAS HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH FUEL SPILLING FROM THE FUEL TANK NOZZLE DURING FILL-UPS. WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, FUEL GUSHED FROM THE FILLER TUBE AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE FENDER AND BUMPER NEAR THE FILL NOZZLE ARE NOW DISCOLORED DUE TO THE SITUATION. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS, AND THEY REPLACED THE GAS TANK. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. EVERY FILL UP, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT AT SOME POINT, THE FUEL WILL HIT A HOT AREA AND IGNITE. I SEE THAT A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY ISSUE HAVE BEEN FILED (PE10032). PLEASE ADDRESS IT!!!! *TR

I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND I HAVE NOW GONE THRU 4 SETS OF BALL JOINTS AND THE JEEP CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 45K MILES. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT I KNOW MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

GAS SPILLS OVER EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. IT NEVER AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF WHEN THAT GAS TANK IS NEARLY FULL NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION I GO TO. *TR
