2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND BEGAN TO COME FROM MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AS I SLOWED TO EXIT (AT THE NEXT INTERCHANGE) THE 3.8L V6 ENGINE HAD A BEARING SEIZE AND THREW A ROD OUT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE BLOCK. FROM THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT FOR CHRYSLER. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS OF THIS ENGINE FAILING EVEN WITH IMPECCABLE MAINTENANCE. I RECEIVED NO INDICATIONS OR WARNINGS PRIOR TO THE ENGINE BLOWING. JUST AS I SLOWED DOWN THE OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED BUT AT THAT POINT IT WAS TOO LATE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. THEIR HAS BEEN NO CRASH. IT JUST CAME ON AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CLOCKSPRING. WAS ALSO TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2007 TTO 2011 JEEP WRANGLERS. THE COST IS ABOUT $500 TO $600 TO FIX.

DEATH WOBBLE. I'M SURE NOT THE FIRST COMPLAINT YOU'VE SEEN FOR IT. THIS IS A COMPLETE BS PROBLEM TO HAVE ON A $40,000 VEHICLE AND CHRYSLER/JEEP NEEDS TO BE HELD LIABLE FOR IT. I HAVE SPENT OVER $2,000 REPLACING COMPONENTS ON THE FRONT-END - NONE OF WHICH HAVE "CURED" THE VIOLENT "DEATH WOBBLE" WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE GOING 50 - 60MPH. JUST TO ADD ANOTHER DEFINITION TO THE PROBLEM, I WILL EXPLAIN IN DETAIL. YOU HIT A BUMP OR A POTHOLE GOING ANYWHERE FROM 40 TO 60 MPH OR SO, AND THE WHOLE FRONT END BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES, WHEELS ARE WOBBLING BACK AND FORTH LIKE CRAZY, AND THE CAR IS HARD TO CONTROL. THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP IT UNTIL YOU PULL OFF THE ROAD AND STOP THE VEHICLE. SHODDY MANUFACTURING IS THE ONLY REAL CULPRIT I CAN POINT TO BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND THE HUNDREDS OF ACCOUNTS I HAVE PERSONALLY READ ONLINE JUST TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR MY OWN PROBLEM. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER/JEEP...

STARTING OFF IN 1ST GEAR, MY JEEP SUDDENLY POPPED OUT OF GEAR AS I WAS ENTERING ROADWAY. THAT WAS THE START OF A PROBLEM THAT I STILL HAVE TODAY. DEALER HAS SAID IT IS NORMAL AND CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM. I NOTIFIED CHRYSLER OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY FAILED TO RESPOND TO MY INVESTIGATION REQUEST.

MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN CITY DRIVING THE TRAC BAR MOUNT ATTACHED TO THE FRAME BROKE OFF. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE ON HE FREEWAY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY! THIS JEEP HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT IT 5 MONTHS AGO. I HAD TO WELD THE TRAC BAR MOUNT AND INSTALL AN AFTERMARKET SUPPORT BRACKET. UNFORTUNATELY THIS PROBLEM IS SO MUCH THAT THEY MAKE AN AFTERMARKET PART FOR IT!

JEEP OVERHEATED IN TRAFFIC. TURNS OUT COOLING FAN WAS NOT WORKING. ALL FUSES AND RELAYS WERE CHECKED. TURNS OUT IT WAS THE TIPM. YOU WOULD THINK BY NOW JEEP WOULD PAY FOR THIS FIX. ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS PART IS A NATION WIDE BACK ORDER. AND IT'S A $600 PART!

DURING NORMAL STREET DRIVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS TURNING ON AND OFF FOR THE 5 MILE DRIVE HOME. TRIED TURNING CAR OFF AND ON, THE. TRIED PUSHING THE FUSES DOWN TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T THAT. ALSO RECENTLY REPLACED THE TIPM. SO FAR, I'M NOT LIKING THIS JEEP. A LOT OF PROBLEMS. *TR

THE VEHICLE QUITE FREQUENTLY AND UNPREDICTABLY SPITS / SPILLS FUEL FROM THE FUEL FILLER PORT WHEN RE-FUELING. THIS HAS RESULTED IN NUMEROUS SPILLS AT THE GAS STATION AND OCCASIONAL SPILLS ON THE OPERATOR. SOMETIMES IT SPILLS AND SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT.....UPDATED 08/20/15 *BF

HEADLIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING, HORN HONKING, AND DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOT RESPOND. COULD NOT DISABLE HORN WITH KEY FOB AS USUAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. THE JEEP DEALER SAYS THAT IT IS A FAULTY TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE)......UPDATED 11/13/15 *BF UPDATED 10/26/2017*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THERE WAS A BUMP IN THE ROAD WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE AND THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SHAKING WAS STOPPED BY APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.
