2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

ON THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. I WILL PREFER TO GET CONTACTED BY EMAIL. *TR

WE HAVE HAD THIS INCIDENT MANY TIMES BEFORE, REFERRED TO AS THE 'DEATH WOBBLE', HAD THE STEERING PIN REPLACED TWICE, AND NEW TIRES, ALIGNMENT AND WAS FINE FOR 3 MONTHS AND YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN, HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD GOING 45 MPH AND JEEP JUST STARTED ROCKING AND JUMPING ALL OVER THE ROAD, HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD THE MAKE IT STOP. WHEN ARE YOU PEOPLE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS????? WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED????? THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED, SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS AND ARE VERY UPSET, HAS THIS BEEN LOOKED INTO???? IF YOU ARE FOR SAFETY THAN THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKED INTO A LONG TIME AGO!!!!! *TR

WAS DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER TO WORK AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 35MPH AROUND A CORNER AND AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE CORNER THE JEEP JERKED ENGINE STALLED KICKED BACK ON THEN STALLED AGAIN THEN DIED AND WOULDN'T START BACK UP HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE MECH. SHOP AND HE SAID THE CRANK BUSTED.... LOVE THOSE JUNK 3.8 JEEP WONT ADMIT THEIRS A DEFECT WITH. *TR

DRIVING JEEP WRANGLER AND SUDDENLY ENTIRE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

TRANSMISSION POPS VIOLENTLY OUT OF FIRST GEAR UPON ACCELERATION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH AND PAUSE/STOP SUDDENLY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS WITH INCREASING SEVERITY AND OCCURRENCE. THE VEHICLE, WHEN IN FIRST GEAR, IS MOST OFTEN IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNING OR CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS WITH INCREASING SEVERITY AND OCCURRENCE TO THE POINT WE FELT IT DANGEROUS SO WE FINALLY TOOK IT TO A DEALER. DESPITE IT BEING KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL, JEEP REFUSED TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM CITING THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE AND WARRANTY EXPIRATION. *TR

THE HORN STOPPED WORKING AND THEN A DAY LATER THE AIR BAG WARNINGLITE INDICATING MALFUNCTION CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN STAYED ON CHIMING FROM TIME TO TIME.IT GOES OFF AND THEN COMES BACK ON WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS MOVING AGAIN.IT SOMETIMES GOES OFF WHEN TURNING RIGHT.MY MECHANIC SAID THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT,IT IS THE CLOCKSCREW HE SAID NAD WHEN I LOOKED IT UP ,IT WAS THE EXACT DESCRIPTION.PITIFUL IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY,THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND JEEP SHOULD FIX IT IMMEDIATELY. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IT STILL COMES ON, TH HIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BUT I'M WORRIED IF IT'S A FAULTY AIR BAG? OR SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE HARMFUL LATER, SINCE I HAVE 2 KIDS JUST BEING CONCERNED BECAUSE I SAW IN THE NEWS THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON AIRBAGS FROM I THINK TATAKA AIR BAGS MANUFACTURER AND SAW CHRYSLER AS ONE OF THE COMPANIES USING THESE AIRBAGS ON THEIR VEHICLES!!?? THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK! BEST REGARDS *TR

THERE WAS NOT A FIRE BUT THOUGHT THERE WAS AND 911 WAS CALLED. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED IN MARCH AND AGAIN IN JULY. IN SEPTERMBER THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND I PULLED INTO A DRIVE WAY AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. I ASKED SOMEONE TO LOOK AT IT AND WHEN THEY TRIED TO START THE ENGINE SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE VENTS AND ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. TURNS OUT, THAT THE JEEP HAD NO OIL IN IT AND THE ENGINE BURNED UP. THE REPAIR FOR A NEW ENGINE IS $5200. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS AT ALL. NO "CHANGE OIL NOTICE", "LOW OIL PRESSURE" LIGHT, "OVERTEMP" LIGHT, OR "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT. HAD THERE BEEN SOME KIND OF WARNING LIGHT BEFORE I RUINED THE ENGINE IT WOULD NOT BE SO COSTLY. *TR

I NOTICED A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY USED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED THAT ON OCCASION, NO PARTICULAR SPEED OR INCIDENT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD INDICATE ON THAT DASH FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AIRBAG EVEN WHEN NO ONE AND NOTHING WOULD BE SEATED IN PASSENGER SEAT. DURING ONE OF MY OIL CHANGE/SERVICE APPOINTMENTS THAT I REGULARLY KEEP I ASKED IF THEY COULD IDENTIFY THE ISSUE AND HAD STATED IT MAY JUST BE AN ELECTRICAL SENSOR ISSUE IN THE SEAT ITSELF THAT HAD BEEN DAMAGED WITH AN UNSUBSTANTIATED WEIGHT PLACED IN THE SEAT, SUCH AS A BAG OR SMALL CHILD, THAT AFFECTED THE SENSOR WAS NOT RATED FOR. I WAS DOING A RECALL SEARCH FOR MY VEHICLE, NONE LISTED, BUT NOTICED COMPLAINTS FILED FOR MANY VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING WITH THE AIRBAG INDICATOR. DATE INVESTIGATION OPENED: MAY 23, 2011 DATE INVESTIGATION CLOSED: NOV 07, 2011 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE11019 COMPONENT(S): AIR BAGS I'M SIMPLY FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO INDICATE MY VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE INDICATED AND IF ANY ACTION IS TAKEN TO CORRECT IT I'D LIKE TO BE ALERTED SO AS TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED ON MY VEHICLE. *TR
