2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH MY VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE STEERING WHEEL, ENGINE, ENTIRE JEEP AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO CONTROL OR STEER THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES SINCE JUNE 2014. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AND IS TERRIFYING! *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP WRANGLER ON A PUBLIC ROAD, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTDOWN. THIS SHUTDOWN CAUSED THE POWER STEERING, BRAKES AND ELECTRICAL ASPECTS OF THE VEHICLE TO STOP FUNCTIONING. THIS IS NOW THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO "PARK" , I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUCCESS. THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP WITH NO INCIDENT. THERE ARE MANY DANGERS INVOLVED WITH A VEHICLE SUDDENLY "SHUTTING DOWN". MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER JEEP VEHICLE OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON REPEATEDLY ON DASH. TOOK IT TO A BODY SHOP AND HE SAYS JEEPS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CLOCKSPRINGS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WITH FRIENDS WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. OVERHEATING, AC STOPPED WORKING, AND AN ODD SPEED FLUCTUATION. I INFORMED THE PEOPLE I WAS WITH THAT I WAS GOING TO DRIVE TO THE MAIN ROAD. BEFORE I GOT THERE, ABOUT 50 FEET, THE WHOLE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FLAMES WENT OVER THE TOP OF THE JEEP. LUCKILY THE FLAMES DIED DOWN BRIEFLY ENOUGH FOR ME TO JUMP OUT . I LOST EVERYTHING IN THE JEEP AND THE JEEP ITSELF. UPON CONTACTING JEEP, THEY SAID IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT RATHER IT WAS MY FAULT. CLEARLY SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONED AND I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I HIT A BUMP AND MY WHOLE JEEP RAPIDLY RATTLED BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE ROAD, NEARLY CAUSING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. IT STARTLED ME SEVERELY, AND I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES, SLOWLY DECELERATING. IT TOOK UNTIL I GOT DOWN TO 25MPH FOR IT TO STOP SHIMMYING. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE NEAREST GAS STATION, CHECKED MY TIRE PRESSURE AND MADE SURE THERE WERE NO IDENTIFIABLE OBTRUSIONS THAT WOULD AFFECT PERFORMANCE, AND CARRIED ON, VERY CAUTIOUSLY. THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN, SOMETIMES GOING AS LOW AT 45MPH, BUT ONLY WHEN SOMETHING IN THE ROAD KNOCKS IT OFF BALANCE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY JEEP AT ALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES THAT WHILE STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION SUCH AS AT A STOP SIGN THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR. IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS SO MUCH THAT I AM HAVING TO START IN SECOND GEAR AS TO AVOID THE LOUD HORRIFYING SOUND THAT IT MAKES AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, AVOID SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION TRYING TO GET IT BACK IN GEAR SO I DON'T GET KILLED BY ONCOMING VEHICLES. THE PROBLEM WITH STARTING IN SECOND GEAR IS #1 I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO AND #2 SOMETIMES IT WANTS TO STALL STARTING IN THAT GEAR ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE STARTING ON A HILL. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS 2 TIMES, BUT THEY TELL ME THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS EVER HAPPENING. I GUESS THEY NEVER LOOK ON THIS WEBSITE. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO COMPLAIN, BUT I NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NHTSA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IF THAT HASN'T HAPPENED ALREADY. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING GETS FIXED? THE WORD SAFETY IS IN THE TITLE. BE PROACTIVE NOT REACTIVE FOR ONCE AND INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM BEFORE ANYONE DIES. *TR

I HAVE HAD 4 ELECTRICAL/ENGINE EVENTS WITH THE MOST RECENT OCCURRING IN JULY, 2014 AFTER PICKING UP MY KIDS FROM CAMP. AS I SLOWED DOWN FOR A LIGHT, ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, THE RADIO WENT DEAD AND THE ENGINE CUT OUT. LUCKILY I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT, AND AS I WAS LOOKING AT THE DASH TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED, THE JEEP THEN TURNED BACK ON.PLEASE HELP. *TR
