2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

ALL COMPLETE FILLS OF GAS IN THE TANK CREATES A SPILLOVER. NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN IT NEARS FULL OTHERWISE A MINIMUM OF A CUP OF FUEL SPILLS. THE SHUTOFF ON THE PUMP IS NOT RECOGNIZED. HAPPENS AT ALL GAS STATIONS. NOTICE NUMEROUS OTHER POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER THAT HAS A VIOLENTLY SHIMMY OR A SO CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE". IT HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I'VE COME TO FIND OUT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG JEEP OWNERS WHICH THE CHRYSLER CO. REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. IT'S BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THE PROBLEM STILL ISN'T FIXED. TO MY DISMAY, THE HAVE NO PROBLEM CHARGING ME FOR THEIR INEFFECTIVE ATTEMPTS. MY MODEL JEEP, AS WELL AS OTHERS, NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND MY MONEY REFUNDED. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE FRONT END OF MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY IN ORDER TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING, WHICH I WAS VERY THANKFUL THAT THE TRAFFIC WASN'T BAD AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. THIS AS KNOWN AS THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. IT HAS NOW DONE IT 5 TIMES, 3 OF WHICH WERE AFTER THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED IT. THE FIRST TIME THEY PUT A NEW DAMPER ON IT. NOW IT IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN AFTER THAT DIDN'T WORK AND THEY ARE PUTTING NEW TIRES ON IT. AFTER READING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE, IT IS APPARENT TO ME THAT NEW TIRES ARE NOT GOING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. EVERY TIME YOUR FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY LIKE THAT, THE CHANCES OF DAMAGING COMPONANTS FURTHER INCREASES. MY RESEARCH HAS ALSO SHOWN ME THAT MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM AND THEY HAVE HAD TROUBLE GETTING ANYONE TO STEP UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM. IF YOU DO A SIMPLE SEARCH FOR JEEP DEATH WOBBLE YOU WILL FIND HUNDREDS OF PAGES FOR COMPLAINTS. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE OCCURED ON DECEMBER 23, 2011, AND MY MOST RECENT EXPERIENCE WAS ON FEBRUARY 17, 2012. 5 DEATH WOBBLES IN ALL, AND IT GETS WORSE EACH TIME. HAVING LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE STEERING AND FRONT END CREATES WHAT I AM SURE YOU WILL SEE IS A DEADLY COMBINATION IN ANY CONDITION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT THEN PULLED OVER AND STARTED TO REVERSE WHEN THE SHAKING STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A BODY SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSE THAT THE CONTROL BAR AND THE STEERING WERE FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,900 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,034.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA ON THE I35 NORTH AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, A SLIGHT BUMP CAUSED A VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE TIRES AND SUSPENSION SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL, THE STEERING WHEEL NEARLY SHOOK OUT OF MY GRASP. BRAKING COMPOUNDED THE ISSUE. I WAS ABLE TO VEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER ON THE ROAD, WHERE A LOWER SPEED ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO RECOVER. THE SAME THING OCCURRED NEARLY 1 HOUR LATER AS I RETURNED HOME. THIS SITUATION IS NOT ISOLATED TO ME OR MY VEHICLE, IT HAS BEEN COINED AS THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE" BY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE. *TR

THE VEHICLE BEGAN A VIOLENT SHIMMY, THAT YOU COULD ONLY HOLD ON THE STEERING WHEEL FOR DEAR LIFE, UNTIL YOU HAD ALMOST STOPPED UNTIL IT WAS UNDER CONTROL. HAVE NOW LEARNED, COMMONLY REFERRED TO THE DEATH WOBBLE. THE STEERING STABILIZER WAS REPLACED AT DEALERS RECOMMENDATION, BUT IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE ARE STILL WORKING ON A RESOLUTION, BUT IT IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. *TR

3RD FILL UP IN 3 WEEKS, ONCE AGAIN WAS FILLING UP AND GAS POURED ALL OVER SIDE OF MY JEEP AND THE GROUND WHEN FILLING UP. SPILLED APPROXIMATELY 3-4 QUARTS OF FUEL ON THE GROUND. *TR

MY WRANGLER WAS MANUFACTURED 2/07- I PURCHASED IT USED IN 2/12. EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK, GAS SPILLS OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PUMP STOPS. DAIMLER CHRYSLER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS AN ISSUE DESPITE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM 2007-08 WRANGLER OWNERS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

TRANSMISSION LINES ARE LEAKING WHERE THE RUBBER HOSE CONNECTS TO THE TWO STEEL LINES. TRANSMISSION FLUID COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH A HOT SOURCE AND CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE. ALL OF THIS AT ONLY 50K MILES. JEEP HAS A RECALL FOR 08 THRU 10 JEEPS FOR THE SAME ISSUE THAT IS HAPPENING WITH 07 JEEPS. *TR

WHILE FILLING UP MY 07 JEEP WRANGLER JK, FUEL SPIT BACK DURING REFUELING. THE PUMP HANDLE SHUT OFF, BUT APPROXIMATELY 1/2 TO 1/2 GALLON OF GAS POURED OUT OF MY JEEP, DOUSING ME IN FUEL. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE AT 2 DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. ONCE ON FEB. 10-2012 @ 55,879 MILES, AND AGAIN ON FEB. 16-2012 AT 56,123 MILES. *TR
