2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X2 Complaints

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA SUDDENLY LOST POWER TO MY TURN SIGNALS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS MULTIPLE TIMES DURING A LONG ROAD TRIP. ONE TIME IT OCCURRED DURING A STORM AND I COULDN'T SEE OUT OF MY WINDSHIELD AND I COULDN'T COMMUNICATE THAT I NEEDED TO PULL OVER BECAUSE MY TURN SIGNALS WOULDN'T WORK. *TR

FRONT END WOBBLE AT ABOUT 45 MPH. DOES NOT STOP UNTIL YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP! I HAVE HAD THE JEEP BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE LAST YEAR NOW AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT. *TR

I GUESS I AM WRITING WITH MORE THAN ONE ISSUE. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE OF SUCH A LONG EXPLANATION BUT I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD BEFORE DELVING INTO THIS. I PURCHASED MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X 4-DOOR 2WD IN OCTOBER OF 2006. I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY VICTIMS THAT WHILE GOING 70 MPH, THE ENTIRE JEEP SHUT DOWN AND THEN RESTARTED ON IT'S OWN. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. TOOK IT IN ONCE, I GOT THE "I'M SORRY LOOK" AND WAS LET GO. DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER WITH THE DEALERSHIP THE SECOND TIME AND FINALLY WAS LUCKY ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE A WRECK BEFORE THE RECALL WAS SENT. WITHIN ONE MONTH, NOT MORE THAN 1200 ON THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START. CALLED TOW TRUCKS TWICE. EACH TIME, IT TOOK THE TOW TRUCK 30-45 MINUTES TO ARRIVE AND IN THAT TIME FRAME, WITH REPEATED EFFORTS, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN FOR ABOUT 6 - 9 MONTHS THEN CAME FEBRUARY 2007. IT WAS ABOUT 45 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I WALKED OUT TO GET THE MAIL. AS I LOOKED UP AT THE JEEP, I WAS STOPPED DEAD IN MY TRACKS AND DID NOT EVEN WANT TO FACE WHAT I KNEW HAD HAPPENED. RIGHT BELOW WHERE THE WINDSHIELD STARTS, RIGHT ABOVE THE HOOD, ON THE DRIVERS' SIDE WAS AN APPROXIMATE 1" CRACK. I WENT BACK OUTSIDE 3 TIMES THINKING MAYBE I "THOUGHT" I WAS SEEING SOMETHING THAT WASN'T REALLY THERE. WITHIN ONE WEEK, THE CRACK HAD EXTENDED UP ABOUT 1/2" AND CRACKED HORIZONTALLY ABOUT 4 INCHES ACROSS. SO SORRY AGAIN FOR THE LONG, INDEPTH LETTER. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME ADVICE. LANA JACKSON LAWTON OKLAHOMA *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA 2 WD WITH 15,000 MILES ON IT. WITHOUT WARNING THE JEEP LOST POWER, AND STARTED MAKING CLACKING NOISE UNDER ACCELERATION. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. MAIN BEARING WAS RUINED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X2. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH OR GREATER, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, SOME OF WHICH THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART, BUT TWICE IT WAS TOWED. THE VEHICLE ALSO STARTS INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES REGARDING THESE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL NUMBER 07V291000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,634 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,600. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN ON 8/23/07. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED MULTIPLE REPAIR INVOICES AND PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 08/31/07 *TR

HOOD RAISES UP 2 TO 3 INCHES DURING HIGH WINDS OR WHEN PASSED BY APPROACHING LARGE TRUCK. *TR

THE HOOD OF MY JEEP LIFTS UP DURING THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1) WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON A WINDY DAY. 2) WHEN DRIVING OVER 50MPH AND A LARGE VEHICLE, SUCH AS A TRUCK, PASSES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. IT APPEARS THAT THE 2 HOOD LATCHES (ONE ON EACH SIDE) STRETCH ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE HOOD TO LIFT WHEN THERE IS SUFFICIENT AIR PRESSURE GENERATED FROM WIND. THE CENTER HOOD LATCH HAS CAUGHT THE HOOD DURING THESE OCCASIONS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE HOOD MAY COME COMPLETELY UNLATCHED, THEN RAISE ALL THE WAY UP THUS BLOCKING MY VIEW - WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT 55 MPH,WENT THROUGH A SERIES OF BUMPS ON THE ROAD WHICH BEGAN UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION OR WOBBLING, AND VIOLENT SHAKING, IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND FRONT END. FRONT END AND TIRES APPEARED TO BE MOVING LEFT TO RIGHT IN THE UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE. THIS HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS AFTER HITTING BUMPS ON A HIGHWAY AND COMPONENTS ON THE FRONT END APPEAR TO BE VISUALLY INTACT. THIS VEHICLE IS A WRANGLER X UNLIMITED 4 X 2 - 4 DOOR. ALL 4 INCIDENCES TOOK PLACE WITHIN 50 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. *AK

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP SAHARA JK FOUR DOOR. TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON THE 10 FREEWAY IN PAMONA, CA IN THE CAR POOL LANE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON GOING ABOUT 70MPH. I HAD BEEN TRAVELING THIS WAY FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD. THE ENGINE APPEARED TO STALL. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO EVEN THOUGH I WASCOASTING. THE RPM READ ABOUT 800. I KEEP PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I WOULD GET A SPURT OF SPEED BUT HAD AN OVERALL REDUCTION OF SPEED. I HAD TO NAVIGATE OVER DOUBLE YELLOW LINES, BETWEEN SEMI'S TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER STOPPING I TURNED THE KEY OFF THEN ON AGAIN. IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND I CONTINUED THE REST OF THE 150 MILES. THE DASH DISPLAYED TWO ICONS. ONE WAS THE ESP SYMBOL AND THE OTHER WAS A RED LIGHTING BOLT IN BETWEEN TWO VERTICAL RED LINES. I CALLED THE DEALER, SHAVER JEEP, IN SAN BERNARDINO. THE SERVICE GUY SAID THIS WASN'T UNCOMMON. HE HYPOTHESIZE THE ESP SYSTEM SENSED A NEED TO TURN ON CAUSING THE COMPUTER TO TAKE CONTROL. I ASSURED HIM I WAS GOING STRAIGHT AND HAD NOT MADE ANY TURNS OR HIT ANY BUMPS. IT HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE. IF THIS WAS THE REASON, THE COMPUTER MADE A FALSE INTERPRETATION AND IT SHOULD HAVE TURNED CONTROL BACK TO THE DRIVER AFTER THE CORRECTION WAS MADE INSTEAD OF LOSING SPEED ON A BUSY FREEWAY. *TR
