2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

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?

WHILE COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED MY ENGINE MAKE A 'CLICKING' NOISE, DIDN'T SOUD TOO SERIOUS, BUT CHECKED OIL LEVEL AND SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN BARELY ANY OIL IN IT. IT WAS AROUND SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE DATE, HOWEVER TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND HE THOUGHT AND ASSUMED WAS THE IDLER PULLEY AND CHANGED IT. DROVE IT SAME NIGHT AND WAS STILL MAKING SAME NOISE. TOOK IT BACK AND HE JUST SPOKE WITH A 'CHRYSLER SERVICE PERSONNEL' AND STATED "CHRYSLER HAD A BAD ENGINE CASTING FOR MOLDING THE ENGINES AND AT HIGH TEMPERATURES THE ENGINE ITSELF WILL WARP." SO NOT SURE IF THIS IS TRUE, AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO TAKE TO A DEALERSHIP AND CONFIRM.

WHEN DRIVING AT 40 MPH OR FASTER THE CAR WILL HIT A BUMP AND START SHAKING VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT WHERE LOSS OF CONTROL COULD OCCUR. COULD POSSIBLY BE JUST THE TIRES, BUT SEEMS A LOT OF EARLIER JK WRANGLERS SUFFER FROM THIS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, IF YOU HIT A ROUGH SPOT ON THE ROAD, IT STARTS TO SHIMMY AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO VIOLENTLY JERK BACK AND FORTH. THE FRONT TIRES ARE WOBBLING. YOU HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY GRIPPING THE STEERING WHEEL AND PUSH ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS YOU CAN WITHOUT LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TO GET IT STOPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE FRONT SUSPENSION SHOOK VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT STABILIZER, FRONT AND REAR SHOCKS, AND TWO TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,500.

AT ABOUT 32000 MY JEEP WRANGLER STARTING EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE". WHEELS WERE BALANCED AND THIS SEEMED TO CORRECT FOR A WHILE. AT ABOUT 35000 MILES THE PROBLEM RETURNED. THE WOBBLE SEEMS TO START AT ABOUT 55 MPH.

JEEP DEATH WOBBLE IN MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. NO RHYME OR REASON, CAR WILL BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE BETWEEN 45 - 65 MPH. I HAVE TO COMPLETELY STOP AND PULL CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS STOP. INCREDIBLY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. HAVE GONE TO TO DEALERSHIP AND EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION ALL OF WHICH ARE UNBELIEVABLE IN COST WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY.

FILLING THE JEEP UP WITH FUEL IT SPITS A LOT OF FUEL OUT WHEN IT GETS FULL AND SEVERAL TIMES GETTING ON MY CLOTHS AND SHOES. I'VE READ THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF I WERE TO GET BACK IN THE JEEP AND WOULD GET STATIC AND IGNITE MY CLOTHS AND BURN MYSELF BADLY I DON'T THINK THIS WOULD BE GOOD FOR ANYONE. I'VE READ THAT CERTAIN DEALERS ARE REPLACING THE TANK FOR FREE AND OTHERS AREN'T .IS THERE A RECALL OR FIX IN THE WORKS FOR THIS OR DO PEOPLE HAVE TO BURN UP TO GET ANY ACTION? PLEASE ADVISE
