2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X (JUST PURCHASED THIS PAST SATURDAY 3/15/14) OVERFLOWS GASOLINE WHEN FILLING IT UP. IT DOESN'T INDICATE LIKE OTHER VEHICLES THAT IT'S NEARING FULL BY SHUTTING OFF, IT KEEPS GOING AND SPLASHES OUT, EVERY TIME YOU FILL IT. *TR

EACH TIME I FILL UP AND SET THE GAS PUMP TO 'AUTO FILL' THE GASOLINE SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND WHEN THE TANK IS FULL AND THE PUMP FAILS TO SHUT OFF. THIS OCCURS WITH NO WARNING AND I WAS SPLASHED WITH GASOLINE AGAIN YESTERDAY. I DO NOT TRUST THE CAR USING THE AUTOMATIC FEATURE AS THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT THE JEEP NEW IN 2007. I WAS DOUSED WITH GASOLINE YESTERDAY AND I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR NATURE FOUND ONLINE FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY WERE OF NO HELP AND CLAIM NOT TO BE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I THINK THIS IS MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE AND IS OF A PARTICULAR SAFETY CONCERN AS GASOLINE IS SPEWING OUT FROM THE FUEL RECEPTACLE. PLEASE FOLLOW UP WITH CHRYSLER AND SEE IF A SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ESPECIALLY IN HOT CONDITIONS THE AIR BAG DASH LIGHT COMES ON AND CONTINUES TO DING. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE SENSOR CHANGED AND IT CONTINUES TO DO IT. *TR

VIOLENT SHAKING AT 50 MPH HAD TO SLOW TO 30 MPH WOULD HAPPEN WITH GRADUAL CORNERS CROSSING UNEVEN PAVEMENT IE. ON RAMP. I REPLACED STEERING DAMPER WHICH SEEMED TO ALLEVIATE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS STOCK CONFIGURATION THE SAME BRAND AND SIZE OF TIRES IT WAS ORIGINALLY EQUIPPED WITH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING SO VIOLENTLY I THOUGHT I HAD LOST A WHEEL. I COULD BARELY CONTROL THE CAR AND WAS SURROUNDED BY 18 WHEELERS. I WAS HORRIFIED. I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER AND GOT OUT EXPECTING TO SEE A FLAT TIRE BUT EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I GOT BACK IN AND DROVE DOWN THE ROAD ONLY TO HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN I WENT OVER 55MPH. I CALLED EMERGENCY SERVICE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY "FIXED" IT AND CHARGED ME FOR THE WORK DONE. BUT WHEN I DROVE IT AGAIN AT 53MPH WHEN I HIT A BUMP IT STARTED VIBRATING AGAIN. I NOW NEVER DRIVE OVER 50MPH OVER THE FEAR OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN. I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND IT IS CALLED DEATH WOBBLE AND JEEP WILL NOT HELP US. I HAVE NOT ALTERED MY VEHICLE AT ALL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT AND NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. IT IS LIKE DRIVING ON THE WORST WASHBOARD ROAD YOU EVER SAW AT 60MPH SURROUNDED BY TRAFFIC. IT IS A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. THE CAR SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT THE WHEELS WOBBLE. PLEASE LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERNET. A REPORTER IN CALIFORNIA DID A STORY ON IT. PLEASE DO A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING JEEPS SINCE 1986 AND THIS IS THE 4TH JEEP I HAVE OWNED. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. MY LAST JEEP HAD 131,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS. JEEP HAS OBVIOUSLY CHANGED THE DESIGN OR IS USING CHEAPER PARTS. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE JEEP BRAND. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ROUGHLY 60-65MPH ON HIGHWAY 5 FROM SAN DIEGO TO LA THE FRONT END AND STEERING WHEEL OF MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER DRIVING OVER ROUGH PAVEMENT. I DECREASED SPEED FROM 60-65MPH TO ROUGHLY 30-40 MPH PAYING ATTENTION TO TRAFFIC AS I VEERED FROM THE 2ND FAST LANE TO THE SHOULDER. THE VIOLENT SHAKING CONTINUED AS I PULLED THE VEHICLE TO SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY UNTIL I REACHED A SPEED OF ABOUT 15-20MPH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO 2 DIFFERENT JEEP DEALERSHIPS; ONE IN SAN DIEGO AND ONE IN LA. THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I REPLACED THE SHOCKS, TIRES, AND DAMPER ALONG WITH MULTIPLE ALIGNMENTS AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I'M SO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT THAT I RENTED A CAR.

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55-60MPH, THERE WERE SOME MILD TAR BUMPS IN THE ROAD THAT I DROVE OVER AND THE CAR PROCEEDED TO THE DEATH WOBBLE. IT IS EXACTLY AS EVERYONE ELSE HAS NOTED, THE JEEP FELT LIKE ALL 4 WHEELS WERE COMING OFF, THE JEEP SHOOK VOILENTLY, WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO HANDLE. I SLOWED MY SPEED AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD. THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO COME APART. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO CHRYSLER AND TO THIS ORGANIZATION, WHY WON'T YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT????? WITH ONLY 33K MILES, I NOW HAVE TO GET A NEW CAR BECAUSE I AM IN FEAR OF DRIVING THIS ONE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF AN EXPRESSWAY....IT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC AND DEADLY....IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE WAITING FOR? HOPE IT ISN'T ANYONE YOU KNOW WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND WHEN THE VEHICLE SPORADICALLY FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE CONNECTION ROD FAILING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V436000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY GOING AROUND 60MPH, HIT A SMALL BUMP AND THE JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY MY HEART WENT OUT OF MY CHEST. I FLIPPED ON MY HAZARDS AND MADE MY WAY OVER TO THE SLOW LANE, BUT THE SHAKING STOPPED. WHEN I ARRIVED TO WORK, I RESEARCHED THE "SHAKING" AND FOUND ANOTHER NAME FOR IT, "DEATH WOBBLE." I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THE PARTS THAT CAUSE THIS, IT HASN'T CAUSED ANY FATALITIES YET; BUT IT WILL. *TR
