2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

2007 WRANGLER UNLIMITED BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AFTER GOING OVER A MINOR ABRUPTNESS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 50 MPH. ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO SLOW TO 25 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY TO GET IT TO STOP SHAKING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, AS I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER TO FIX THIS AND NOW IT IS OCCURRING AGAIN. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS THE DRIVER COULD EASILY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER MUST BRAKE HARD AND SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATELY TO GAIN CONTROL, THEREBY RISKING BEING REAR-ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND HIM/HER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 50-60 MPH OVER AN UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DRIVE AS IF THE SUSPENSION WAS LOOSE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A PERSONAL MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES MAY HAVE NEEDED TO BE BALANCED. THE TIRES WERE BALANCED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TEST DRIVEN WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE RESPONDED WELL FOR SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE THE FAILURE RECURRED. THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

I AM EXPERIENCING WHAT HAS BECOME KNOWN AS JEEP WOBBLE AND EVEN HAS BEEN CALLED DEATH WOBBLE. DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY AND WILL NOT STOP UNTIL SPEEDS GO BELOW 20 MPH. THIS OCCURS AT TIMES WITHOUT UNSTABLE ROAD CONDITIONS AND IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS OCCURRING WHEN CROSSING A BRIDGE OR ANY WHERE THAT THE ROAD SURFACE CHANGES. JEEP HAS REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER AND DAMPENER THREE TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS AND REPLACED THE SHOCKS AS WELL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STRETCH OF US-61 NORTH OF GONZALES, LA. A PHENOMENON KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCURRED ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. AFTER TAKING IT TO A LOCAL SHOP THAT HAVE COME TO DISCOVER THAT THE TRACK BAR HAS COME LOOSE AND STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT JEEP REFUSES TO ADDRESS IT. I WAS TOLD TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE FRONT SUSPENSION BECAUSE THE VIOLENT SHAKING LIKELY COULD HAVE MESSED UP BALL JOINTS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT. *TR

THE PAINT ON THE DOOR HINGES ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA BEGAN SHOWING SIGNS OF RUST. PRESENTED VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALER, AND CHRYSLER AGREED TO REPAINT THE HINGES UNDER WARRANTY. WITHIN ONE WEEK, PAINT ON HINGES BEGAN BUBBLING. CHRYSLER AGAIN AGREED TO REPAINT HINGES UNDER WARRANTY. IN TALKING WITH BODY SHOP, THE ISSUE IS THAT THE HINGES ARE AN ALLUMINUM ALLOY, AND, WITH THE STEEL HINGE PIN AND THE STEEL DOOR, GALVANIC CORROSION HAS OCCURRED, AND WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR. SOUNDS TO BE A FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN FLAW (FUNDAMENTAL METALLURGY). HINGES HAVE BEEN REPAINTED A SECOND TIME, WITH INDICATIONS THAT THE PAINT IS BEGINNING TO BUBBLE. BODY SHOP HAS ADVISED THAT THE PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE UNTIL HINGES ARE REPLACED WITH A SIMILAR METAL OR STAINLESS STEEL. ADVISED BY BODY SHOP THAT THEY HAVE DONE THE SAME REPAIR ON APPROXIMATELY 6 OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. AFTER A SORT INTERNET SEARCH, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT ADDRESSED APPROPRIATELY. *TR

DEFECT IS CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" IN VARIOUS JEEP WRANGLER YEARS AND MODELS. MINE IS A 2007 WRANGLER X UNLIMITED. I WAS TOLD BY DEALER THE PROBLEM WAS MUD IMPACTION AROUND AND INSIDE OF WHEELS. REMOVING ALL MUD DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. WORSENED PROBLEM AFTER CLEANING. REPLACED FRONT STABILIZER BAR3 WEEKS AGO. PROBLEM CONTINUES... WHICH IS:WHILE DRIVING ON A ROUGH ROAD OR HITTING A BUMP OR EVEN MODESTLY SHALLOW POTHOLE, FRONT END AND STEERING BEGINS SHAKING, WOBBLING, QUAKING TO POINT OF VEHICLE BEING COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL AND IS ALMOST IF NOT COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL WHICH IS MANAGED BY BRAKING TO COMPLETE HALT. HAVE NARROWLY AVERTED COLLISIONS AND COMPLETE VEHICLE CONTROL SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. REALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE JEEP, NOR CAN I ETHICALLY OR EFFECTIVELY SELL VEHICLE WITHOUT NOTIFYING "BUYER" OR THIS SERIOUS, BODILY AND LIFE THREATENING DEFECT. VEHICLE IS WORTHLESS BECAUSE OF THIS DANGER. *TR
