2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

WATER LEAK: I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X UNLIMITED ON 06-26-10. ON 06-28-10 I WAS (OUT OF TOWN OF VACATION) DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM WHEN I NOTICED TO CARPETING IN THE BACK PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD WAS WET. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE WATER IS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE RUNNING DOWN THE FRAME BETWEEN THE FRONT AND BACK DOORS ONTO THE FLOOR BOARD. UPON RETURNING HOME FROM VACATION I CONTACTED NUMBER 1 AUTO FROM WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I ADVISED THE SALESMAN OF THE WET CARPET AND A NON-FUNCTIONING CD PLAYER. AT THAT TIME HE SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT I JUST NEEDED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE MECHANIC. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP BACK 3 TIMES NOW FOR CONTINUE WATER IN THE REAR FLOOR BOARDS OF THE JEEP AFTER BEING IN RAIN. LAST NIGH (08-03-10)T, AFTER YET ANOTHER RAIN STORM, I REMOVED 2 QUARTS OF WATER FROM THE REAR DRIVERSIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS. TODAY (08-04-10) I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION WHO SAID, "IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY, IT'S UP TO YOU AS TO HOW YOU WANT TO PERCEIVE IT." I ADVISED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A MULTITUDE OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2007 MODEL JEEP WRANGLER BOTH HARD AND SOFT TOPS AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS OCCASIONS POSTED WHERE CHRYSLER HAD OFFERED TO BUY THE JEEP BACK OR REPLACE WITH A DIFFERENT CHRYSLER VEHICLE AS LONG AS IT WAS NOT ANOTHER JEEP WRANGLER. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE REPLIED, "I'VE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM." *TR

A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WAS ADVISED STEERING STABILIZER WAS DEFECTIVE,TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, AFTER THAT ONLY TO DRIVE AWAY IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP. GOT TIRED OF FIGHTING WITH JEEP TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO I HAD TO GET THE PARTS AND FIX IT MYSELF, BUT I STILL HAVE THE OLD PARTS. IN ADDITION, DAMAGE TO THE TIRES DUE TO THE STEERING STABILIZER. ALSO DO TO THE FAULTY PART IT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TIRES AND THEY STILL NEED REPLACED. FAILURE MILEAGES WAS 46,695. *TR
