2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

FAULTY CLOCKSPRING CAUSING MULTIPLE LIGHTS TO BE ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH. ALSO HAVE TO HAVE THE STEERING ANGLES SENSOR REPLACED WITH THE CLOCK SPRING. *TR

AFTER BEING IN PARK WITHOUT USING THE EBRAKE, THE EBRAKE LIGHT WENT ON. FOLLOWING WAS A SQUEELING SCREECHING NOISE. THE BREAKS IN REAR DRIVERS SIDE REMAIN LOCKED DOING DAMAGE TO THE CALIPER AND ROTOR. THERE IS SOMETHING MECHANICALLY WRONG WITH THE BRAKES WHERE THEY WILL NOT STOP APPLYING PRESSURE. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST COMPLAINT I HAVE SEEN IN A SIMILAR SITUATION WITH THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR CAR. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH SUCH A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK FUEL SHUT OFF DOES NOT WORK. FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF FILL HOLE. *TR

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 (LHD) 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. *TR

STOCK 2007 WITH FAIRLY NEW ORIGINAL SIZE TIRES WRANGLER WITH "DEATH WOBBLE" AT 55 MILES AN HOURS THE JEEP BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND I HAD TO SLOW BELOW 45 FOR THE WOBBLE TO STOP. AFTER I HAD THE RECOMMENDED UPGRADE TO THE STEERING DAMPENER I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH A CANYON ON I-70 AND WENT OVER AN EXPANSION JOINT. I ALMOST LOTS CONTROL AND HIT THE CAR NEXT TO ME RELATED TO THIS WOBBLE. THIS JEEP HAS BEEN TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES IN THE LAST THREE MONTHS, THEY HAVE REPLACED EVERY POSSIBLE PART ON THE FRONT END OF THIS CAR. THE TIRES ARE FROM 2009 WITH ALMOST 2/3 TREAD REMAINING. THE DEALERSHIP IS AT A LOST FOR WHY THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES. I HAVE DECIDED TO SELL THE JEEP BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I AM NO LONGER ABLE TO FEEL SAFE AND WILL NOT TAKE MY FAMILY IN THIS CARE. THE WOBBLE IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE AND THEREFORE VERY HARD TO DUPLICATE BUT NONE THE LESS IT IS VERY POSSIBLE TO LOSE CONTROL WHEN THIS OCCURS. PLEASE LOOK INTO WHY THIS IS SO COMMON BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT WHEELS RUBBED AGAINST THE BRAKE HOSES AND CAUSED THE BRAKE LINES TO BLOW OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN VERIFIED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE BRAKE HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000. *TR

I TOOK MY WIFE'S 2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK (4 DOOR AUTOMATIC) TO COURTHOUSE SHELL HERE LOCALLY TO GET THE STATE INSPECTION DONE (MY FIRST TIME FOR THIS SINCE PURCHASING IT ON JULY 1ST 2012 FROM CHECKERED FLAG TOYOTA IN GREENBRIER). I RECEIVED A CALL SAYING THAT THE HORN DID NOT WORK, WHAT DID I WANT TO DO? MY WIFE HAD SAID THAT IT HAD BEEN WORKING THE PREVIOUS WEEK. WELL, I SAID THAT I WANT IT FIXED. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THAT THE FUSE IN THE FUSE-BOX WAS NOT GETTING ANY POWER AND THEY NEEDED MORE TIME TO TROUBLESHOOT IT, SO THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT, THEY THEN INCORRECTLY SAID IT WAS A SIMPLE RELAY WHICH THEY WOULD ORDER AND RECEIVE LATER THAT SECOND DAY, AND THEY FINALLY FIGURED OUT THAT THE AIR BAG AND THE HORN WERE INCAPACITATED DUE TO A FAULTY $269 AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY WHICH HAD TO BE SPECIAL ORDERED FROM A DEALERSHIP, SO THEY ENDED KEEPING IT OVER THE WEEKEND, THE STEERING WHEEL HAD BEEN DISASSEMBLED AND WOULD COST MORE IN LABOR TO REASSEMBLE. ANOTHER OPTION GIVEN THAT HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT HE COULD RUN A JUMPER WIRE TO A PUSHBUTTON SWITCH TO MAKE THE HORN WORK BUT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT BE GUARANTEED TO FUNCTION AS NEEDED IN AN ACCIDENT. I MADE THE SAFE DECISION TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. I WAS QUITE UPSET THOUGH TO HAVE TO DISH OUT $389.75 TOTAL FOR PARTS AND LABOR. I HAVE THE RECEIPT TO SHOW IT IN THE EVENT THAT JEEP EVER DECIDES TO RECALL THAT FLIMSY AND UNSAFE ASSEMBLY. THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS LODGED REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE ONLINE. CONSIDERING THAT THIS ISSUE NOT ONLY AFFECTS THE HORN BUT ALSO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WHICH WAS UNKNOWINGLY DISABLED FOR A WEEK OR SO, THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER SHOULD ALWAYS BE PARAMOUNT. THANK GOD THAT MY WIFE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT HAVE DEPLOYED. I WILL BE TAKING THIS UP WITH JEEP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH OVER AN UNEVEN SURFACE, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA. THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY DID AN OIL CHANGE AND AFTER 3 MONTHS AND ABOUT 1,800 MILES OF DRIVING MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS LOW. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP(VALVOLINE QUICK LUBE) TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY MENTIONED THE OIL PLUG WAS STRIPPED AND THAT THERE WAS SILICONE CAULK TO HELP SEAL THE OIL PLUG. AT THIS POINT I HAD THEM REPLACE THE OIL PLUG AND WAS CONTENT WITH THE SERVICE. AFTER DRIVING 500-600 MILES AFTER THE OIL CHANGE I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS LOW AS IF IT WAS DISAPPEARING. NO VISIBLE LEAKS IN MY GARAGE AND NONE IN MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK. AT THIS POINT I HAD TO ADD 2 QUARTS OF OIL TO GET TO READ ON THE DIP STICK. THIS WENT ON UNTIL MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND I HAD VALVOLINE LOOK FOR ANY VISUAL LEAKS. THEY MENTIONED NOTHING THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING CONSUMED. FINALLY, IN MARCH OF 2013, TOOK MY JEEP TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM START AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. AFTER THE FIRST 500 MILES THEY STATED THERE WAS LOSS OF OIL AND MADE THERE MARKS AND RESEALED EVERYTHING FOR THE NEXT 500 MILES. I TOOK IT BACK IN AT THE NEXT 500 MILE MARK, NOW MIND YOU EVERYTHING IS SEALED SO THEY KNOW NOTHING WAS TAMPERED WITH, PERFORMANCE CHRYSLER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT OIL LOSS AND THEY STATED THE RINGS ON THE PISTONS ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3,300. MY COMPLAINT IS, MY JEEP AT THIS POINT HAS 47000 MILES ON IT AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THE RINGS ARE BAD. I'VE HAD VEHICLES THAT LASTED 120,000+ AND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE RINGS ON THE PISTONS. I HAVE TALKED TO A COUPLE OF MECHANICS AND SAID THERE SHOULD BE NO WAY THE RINGS SHOULD HAVE GONE BAD THAT FAST. *TR
