2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP OUT OF GEAR WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING IN FIRST GEAR. THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY AND MAKE CLANKING NOISES WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED THREE SEPARATE REPAIR REMEDIES TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT IN POSSESSION OF THE DEALER FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK OF MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IS SPEWED FROM THE FILLER HOLE. FROM WHAT I'VE RESEARCHED CHRYSLER'S FIX IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK; HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM EVENTUALLY STARTS AGAIN. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK (2 DOOR) SPITS BACK FUEL AND SPILLS ABOUT A CUP OF FUEL WHEN GAS STATION PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT THE END OF FILLING THE TANK REGARDLESS OF THE PACE THE FUEL IS PUMPED (AMOUNT SPILLED IS LESS AT LOWER PUMP RATE BUT STILL HAPPENS). THIS BEGAN HAPPENING ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 27,000 MILES. IT NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THAT. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUES SINCE IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. WHILE FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL BEGAN TO FLOW OUT OF THE FUEL TANK. THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS FUELED TO CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 27,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 28,500.

WHEN I FUEL THE JEEP IT "SPITS OUT" GAS. IT ONLY STARTED DOING THIS AFTER 40K MILES. IT NOW DOES IT EVERY TIME! *TR

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE IF IT HITS A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD. *TR

MY GAS TANK OVER FLOWS AND GAS SQUIRTS OUT AS I'M FILLING MY GAS TANK. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I GET GAS. AS SOON AS IT NOZZLE CHICKS, GAS SQUIRTS OUT FIRST AND THEN WHEN I TAKE THE NOZZLE OUT, GAS GUSHES OUT ALL DOWN THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. GAS IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO LOSE GAS EACH TIME. I AM A COMMUTER AND GAS UP OFTEN. ALSO, WHAT IS THE GAS SPILLING ON MY JEEP DOING TO THE PAINT? *TR

VEHICLE LOSES POWER TO ACCELERATOR AT RANDOM, UNPREDICTABLE TIMES (COULD BE AT A STOP SIGN, COULD BE WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY, AND DOES NOT MATTER IF CAR IS HOT OR COLD). WARNING LIGHT (LIGHTNING BOLT) FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD, AND ACCELERATOR IS SLUGGISH TO RESPOND OR UNRESPONSIVE ALTOGETHER. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN IN TWO ACCIDENTS WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE CARS STARTS TO GO, BUT THEN LOSES POWER AND THE ACCELERATOR TAKES ABOUT 3-4 SECONDS TO RECOGNIZE I AM STEPPING ON IT. I HAVE HAD IT INTO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES NOW, AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. FIRST TIME THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. THE SECOND TIME, THE PCM MODULE (DRIVETRAIN COMPUTER/MODULE) WAS REPLACED IN ITS ENTIRETY. PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING AROUND 30,000 MILES, AND HAS CONTINUED SINCE (NOW AT 41,500). HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO BE IN TWO BAD ACCIDENTS, WHICH CAUSED OTHER CARS TO SWERVE/SKID AROUND ME BECAUSE I WAS STOPPED BROADSIDE IN ROADWAY. THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM UNTIL THEY MADE ME DRIVE THEM AROUND OUR CITY, AND PROVE TO THEM WHAT HAPPENS. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED WHILE HE WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME, BUT THE SERVICE TECHS ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND CONTINUE TO WORK WITH CHRYSLER ENGINEERS TO NO AVAIL. OTHER INSTANCES INCLUDE BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A HILL, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GO FORWARD IN TIME, AND NEARLY DRIFTING BACKWARDS INTO VEHICLES BEHIND ME. THIS REQUIRES USE OF HEAVY FOOT ON GAS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE. ADDITIONALLY, VEHICLE IS A 6 SPEED MANUAL, AND SOMETIMES 'POPS' OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP POSITION. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED FOR THE LAST 5,000 MILES APPROXIMATELY BUT IS BECOMING MORE COMMON (NEARLY DAILY). I BELIEVE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE AND CORRECT IT (COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO MY INTERNET RESEARCH), HOWEVER IT DOES NOT APPEAR THEY HAVE A HANDLE ON THE FIRST ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL THEY CAN DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM, IT'S NOT SAFE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT 55MPH AND RAN OVER A BADLY MAINTAINED ROAD BUMP (A 3FT SECTION OF PAVEMENT SPANNING BOTH LANES OF A 2 LANE RD. THAT HAD NO STONE IN IT TO LEVEL IT OFF) AND MY 2007 JEEP 4DR WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA LOST ENGINE POWER. ALL POWER OPTIONS IN TURN LOST POWER. I MANAGED TO PULL THE JEEP TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT. IT STARTED BACK UP WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. THIS SAME POWER LOSS OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE AFTER DRIVING ON A WET ROAD ON A RAINY DAY. THAT 2ND OCCURRENCE LASTED ABOUT 1SECOND AND THEN RE-POWERED. *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
