2007 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

VEHICLE SUFFERS EXTREME SHAKING AND WOBBLING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 40 MPH, BECOMES PARTICULARLY WORSE ON LANE CHANGES AND CURVED ROADS. HAPPENS WHETHER THE SURFACE IS WET OR DRY. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT; MEANING, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT IS PARTICULARLY WORSE IN MORNINGS WHEN VEHICLE IS "COLD" OR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN OVERNIGHT. THE VIOLENT SHAKING MAKES VEHICLE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER OR MAINTAIN IN LANE, PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION FROM CHRYSLER/JEEP.

2007 WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED WITH FAULTY CLOCK SPRING. AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH AN AUDIBLE DINGING ALARM AT 71,918 MILES. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDED REPLACED AND WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY I PURCHASED. HAVE NOT HAD THIS REPLACED AT THIS TIME.

WHEN REFUELING MY 2007 JEEP WRANKLER (4DR) THE FUEL WILL OVERFLOW BACK OUT OF THE TANK WITHOUT WARNING. THIS OCCURS WHEN LOCKING THE FUEL PUMP HANDLE AS SOME PLACES ALLOW AND WHEN FUELING UP MANUALLY. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW WHEN TO STOP FUELING BEFORE THIS OCCURS UHNLESS YOU TRY TO REMOVE THE NOZZLE AND LOOK INTO THE FILL HOLE WHILE SLOWLY PUMPING THE FUEL.

2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR. 4X4..APPROX MILEAGE 65,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING A SPEED OF 50-55 MPH THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS A BUMP IN THE ROAD, OR AN UNEVEN SPOT, A VIOLENT SHAKING BEGINS AND IS UNCORRECTABLE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT TO A NEAR COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALERSHIP CALLS THIS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS HAS GONE ON FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 YEARS WHENEVER I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD DRIVING ANYWHERE FROM 35 MPH AND OVER. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS THE WORST, IT HAPPENED AT A HIGHER SPEED (APPROX. 65 MPH) AND RESULTED IN A NEAR COLLISION/ROLLOVER. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHYSLER JEEP ASAP. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND POTENTIAL LOSS OF LIFE ISSUE.

DRIVING ON THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 45MPH AND THE JEEP STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE (DEATH WOBBLE), FELT LIKE I HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT, PULLED OVER, NOTHING WAS WRONG, DROVE AWAY AND WAS FINE. SCARED MYSELF AND MY 10 YEAR OLD SON! I HAVE THE VEHICLE BEING INSPECTED NOW. *TR

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM RIGHT TO LEFT, FEELING SIMILAR TO SUDDEN WHEEL IMBALANCE AND AS IF FRONT WHEELS MIGHT COME OFF WHEN I HIT A BUMP, USUALLY SMALLER ONES LIKE GAPS IN BRIDGE SURFACES OR DIPS IN THE ROAD. IT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED IN BLOGS AND WEB POSTINGS AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". TO STOP THIS ACTION I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN BELOW 30 MPH AND SOMETIMES HAVE TO STOP COMPLETELY. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS CAUSES DANGEROUS TRAFFIC SITUATIONS SINCE THE NATURAL INSTINCT IS TO APPLY BRAKES TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP, BUT OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY AS TIME PASSES. THE DEALER HAS ROTATED TIRES, DONE REAR END WORK, REPLACED BRAKES, AND REPLACED THE STEERING DAMPER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. REPLACING THE STEERING DAMPER RELIEVES SYMPTOMS FOR 2-3 MONTHS,(UP TO 2,000 MILES) BUT IT STARTS AGAIN, LIGHTLY INITIALLY, THEN INCREASING IN INTENSITY AND FREQUENCY. THE SAME DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO SERVICE THIS PROBLEM FOUR TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, BUT HAS NOT COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT "RE-CREATE" THE CONDITION AND CAN NOT DETERMINE WHAT CAUSES IT. THEY ALSO SAY THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED OTHER COMPLAINTS. CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE WORKERS DEFER TO THE DEALER. THIS IS A VERY FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IT OCCURS. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN OFF ROAD AND HAS ONLY ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. *TR

THE JEEP WRANGLER JK SERIES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS HAVE IN INNER SHIFT BOOT THAT BECOMES DISLODGED AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO POP OUT OF GEAR. THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. MY JEEP WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER 2 MONTHS. OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS REPORT THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

FUEL BURP AROUND FUEL NOZZLE AFTER AUTO SHUTOFF. FUEL GOES DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE REAR BUMPER. HAPPENS EVERY FILLUP. *TR

I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. IT HAS BEGUN TO EXPERIENCE WHAT IS KNOWN ON USER FORUMS AS A DEATH WOBBLE. WHEN DRIVING AT 40MPH + SPEEDS, IF THE TIRES HIT A FAIRLY LARGE BUMP, THE ENTIRE FRONT END SHAKES VIOLENTLY, CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO WHIP LEFT AND RIGHT. BECAUSE OF THE SHAKING, SHUDDERING AND WHIPPING OF THE STEERING WHEEL, LOSS OF CONTROL BECOMES IMMINENT AND SUDDEN BRAKING IS THE ONLY OPTION LEFT TO THE DRIVER ATTEMPTING TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES DESPITE REPEATED INSPECTIONS. *TR

2007 4 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER. NOTICED OIL LEAK IN FEBRUARY 20TH. AT FIRST APPEARANCE ASSUMED IT WAS FROM OIL CHANGE. AS OF NOW IT APPEARS IT IS A FRONT MAIN SEAL ON THE MOTOR... REALLY! A 4YR. OLD VEHICLE WITH 63,000 MILES?! SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING BY MY P.O.V... ALSO, POWER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED TO FUNCTION ON TWO OCCASIONS. AND, INTERIOR LIGHT DOESN'T COME ON WHEN PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS OPENED. EITHER WAY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
