2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 Complaints

WHILST DRIVING AT 65MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY AND BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE. ALMOST LIKE IT WAS BOUNCING FROM TIRE TO TIRE. CAME TO A STOP AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM AND FIXED IT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS OCCURRED AROUND 14000 MILES. SINCE IT WAS "FIXED" I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE INITIAL PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AT AROUND 16,000 MILES THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE DUE TO THE VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

CAR LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING. ALL DASH LIGHTS GO OFF AND THEN COME BACK ON QUICKLY. CHRYSLER DID RECALL JEEP WRANGLERS FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY TOLD ME MINE WAS NOT ONE THAT WAS RECALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE YEAR THAT I HAVE OWNED THE JEEP, MOST RECENTLY MARCH 11, DRIVING AT 35MPH. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER "REBOOTS" ITSELF WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL ITEMS FAIL AND STAY OFF FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. THEN EVERYTHING COMES BACK ON AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED ON APRIL 5, 2007, AND THE SECOND FAILURE OCCURRED ON MAY 9, 2007. THE VEHICLE REBOOTED ITSELF FIVE TIMES WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON MARCH 5, 2008. *TR

MY MODEL YEAR 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH THE 3.8L V6 ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO LOSE ENGINE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THIS OCCURS, MOMENTARY LOSS OF ENGINE POWER ON ACCELERATION OR AT CRUISING SPEED AND ALL INTERIOR WARNING LIGHTS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHT UP ALL AT ONCE. THE RADIO WHETHER PLAYING A CD OR JUST THE RADIO FEATURE CUTS OUT AT THE SAME TIME THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHETHER CRUISING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. TONIGHT IT HAPPENED WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I ACCELERATED ON THE LIGHT CHANGING TO GREEN, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS BRIEFLY CAME ON AND THE RADIO STOPPED. THE ENGINE NEVER STALLED, BUT LOST ALL POWER AND WITHIN A FEW SECONDS ALL WORKED AGAIN. I NEARLY WAS HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN THEY STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD THROUGH THE LIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN NOW THAT I'VE ALMOST BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS CONDITION. I'LL BE CONTACTING BOTH MY JEEP DEALER IN THE MORNING AND DAIMLER-CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS. *TR

MY CAR WONT START. ON FEB 5TH, ODI 10217364, I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE AND I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE TIM MODULE. ON FEB. 16TH I TRIED TO START THE CAR 4 TIMES - IT WOULD TURN ON FOR A SECOND THEN ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD COME ON AND THE CAR WOULD DIE. ON THE 5TH AND 6TH TRY IT WOULDN'T TURN ON AT ALL, JUST THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD COME ON. IT WAS AFTER 4PM SO DEALERSHIP CLOSED. ON FEB. 16TH I TIRED THE CAR AGAIN, IT TURNED ON WITH THE FIRST TRY SO I MOVED IT FROM THE GARAGE TO A SPOT OUTSIDE. ON MONDAY, FEB 17TH I WAS GOING TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT BUT AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START. JUST LIKE ON SATURDAY, AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS IT WOULDN'T TURN ON AT ALL. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THAT THE CAR HAS GONE INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR STALLING/NOT STARTING AND THE 8TH TIME THAT THIS STALLING/NOT STARTING PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. *TR

ON FEB 5TH, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH AND MY CAR DIED - DASH LIGHTS WENT ON, CAR JERKED TO A VIOLENT SLOW DOWN AND I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A SEMI ON MY LEFT, THE CAR PULLED TO THE LEFT. ALL RESUMED TO NORMAL AFTER ABOUT 4 SECONDS. I HAVE FILED PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, CONF NBR 10188682. THIS IS THE 4TH INCIDENT BUT WHAT IS MOST SHOCKING IS THAT THE FIRST 2 TIMES I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP REPAID SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ERROR AND THAT THEY AND CHRYSLER CORP DIDN'T HAVE RECORD OF ANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM. ON THE 2ND VISIT, I ADVISED THE SERVICE PERSON THAT HE SHOULD LOOK AT THIS WEB SITE IF HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. ON THE 3RD INCIDENT, WHEN I GOT HOME, THERE WAS A RECALL "SAFETY RECALL G25-PROGRAM TIPM-ENGINE STALLING- SO I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER, AGAIN, ADVISED THAT CAR STALLED AGAIN AND THAT I ALSO RECEIVED RECALL AND SCHEDULED THE SERVICE - AUG 2007. AFTER THIS VISIT I FELT MORE SECURE TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE AT LEAST CHRYSLER HAD ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. THE ON FEB 5TH 2008 AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CONTINUED TO WORK AND AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START, ALL LIGHTS/RADIO ETC CAME ON BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN OVER. I HAD IT TOWED TO JEEP. I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE PERSON, AFTER THE CAR WAS INSPECTED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE - SAME ITEM THAT CAUSED PREVIOUS PROBLEMS, HAD TO BE REPLACED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW, SO THAT I WOULD HAVE A DEPENDABLE AND SAFE VEHICLE - NEITHER OF WHICH IT IS! I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHAT CHRYSLER COULD DO FOR ME. HE SAID THAT FROM THE NOTES IT LOOKED LIKE I ONLY HAD ONE OCCURRENCE WITH THIS ISSUE AND THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST HE HEARD OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH JEEP - WOW - EITHER HE OUT RIGHT LIED TO ME OR HE IS AN UNINFORMED MANAGER. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM NOT CONFIDENT THAT THIS ISSUE WONT OCCUR AGAIN! *TR

MY CAR WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINE OF ABOUT 20 DEGREES AND I HAD 1/4 TANK OF GAS. WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, BUT THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER. MY RADIO AND LIGHTS WORKED FINE. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED IN A YEAR AND 2 MONTHS. THE TWO PRIOR TIMES, I COASTED DOWN TO A FLAT AREA AND THE CAR STARTED. TONIGHT IT DIDN'T. I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM OR FUEL PUMP. THE THREE TIMES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED I HAVE HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS OR LESS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65 MPH AND THE CAR STALLED. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP AND THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL AND ABOUT 4 SECONDS LATER THE CAR REGAINED ITS POWER. THIS HAPPENED 2/1/08 WITH 11,500 MILES. THIS ALSO OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND MAY 2007 WITH AROUND 2,500 MILES. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X, THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE STOCK STEEL 16" RIMS. THESE RIMS HAVE A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THEY ARE MADE WITH A DEEP CAVITY AND OR TRENCH BEHIND THE SPOKES, SNOW, ICE ETC. SETTLE IN THIS CAVITY MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHIP OR REMOVE THE ICE. AS YOU DRIVE ON SNOWY ROADS THE TIRES THROW SNOW, ICE ETC.. INTO THIS TRENCH. WHILE CENTRIFUGAL FORCE HOLD THE SUBSTANCE IN PLACE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE WHEELS ARE OUT OF EXTREME BALANCE SHAKING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. I CONTACTED JEEP ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, HOPEFULLY YOU CAN. THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THIS TYPE OF RIM AND HOPEFULLY THE LAST. *TR

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED FULL SHUTDOWN AGAIN, THIS TIME ON THE INTERSTATE AT INTERSTATE SPEED. THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY BUILD DATE AND THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE TURNING ITSELF OFF, AND THEN BACK ON A FEW SECONDS LATER. THE ONES THAT WERE COVERED BY THE RECALL, SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE STILL. ALL THE DEALER CAN DO IS DOCUMENT THAT I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AND THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS LIKELY TO GET SOMEONE KILLED!*CN
