2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

VIOLENT FRONT END SHIMMY KNOWN AS "DEATH WOBBLE". OCCURS AT SPEEDS OF 40-50 MPH. VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND IS UNCONTROLLABLE. INITIALLY, TAPPING THE BRAKES AND SLOWING SLIGHTLY WOULD STOP THE SHAKING, BUT PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO COME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO STOP THE SHAKING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE SHAKING POSES AN ACCIDENT RISK BY VIRTUE OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND/OR A REAR END COLLISION, AS THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT BRING THE VEHICLE TO A SUDDEN STOP IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL. THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED ONLINE AND IS THE SUBJECT OF TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 19-003-06 (AUGUST OF 2006). IT SHOULD BE NOTED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS TSB DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, IT ONLY MASKS THE PROBLEM BY ADDING A STEERING STABILIZER. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND WHEN FILLING AT THE PUMP SPITS UP GAS WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THUS SPILLING GAS ON MYSELF, THE VEHICLE AND GROUND. *TT

DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60-65 MPH AROUND A SMALL BEND I HIT AN UNEVEN PART IN THE ROAD THE FRONT END STARTING SHAKING VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL I ALMOST COULD NOT HOLD THE WHEEL. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE SHAKING DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I CAN TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS WAS ALSO IN A LOT OF TRAFFIC. ANOTHER MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH INTO THE WALL. THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN THE WHEEL VIBRATING SO MUCH IT WAS HARD TO HOLD ONTO. AGAIN WITH PEOPLE DRIVING HOME IN RUSH HOUR I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THIS VIOLENT SHAKING WOULD STOP. AGAIN I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. 85,000. ALL 4 DOOR HINGES TOP AND LOWER HAVE BEEN BUBBLING AND RUSTING FROM DAY 1. DEALER STATED TWICE DURING WARRANTY PERIOD ISSUE THAT RUSTING IS COSMETIC, AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WORKING WITH CHRYSLER (800.763.8422) WITH A PENDING CASE. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A OVERWHELMING PROBLEM. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. 85,000 MILES. JEEP WILL NOT START THE MAJORITY OF TIME. JEEP WILL CLICK, AND NOT START. BATTERY, BATTERY CABLES, AND STARTER NOT THE ISSUE. DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A RECONFIGURATION ON THE TIPM FOR $80, BUT ISSUE NOT RESOLVED. IT APPEARS THAT A NEUTRAL START WILL INCREASE CHANCES OF THE VEHICLE STARTING, BUT NOT ALWAYS. WIGGLING THE SHIFTER IN PARK, OR MOVING IT INTO "NEUTRAL" PRIOR TO STARTING INCREASES THE SUCCESS RATIO. VEHICLE WILL ALWAYS START THE FIRST TIME EACH DAY, BUT AFTER THAT, YOU'RE STUCK TRYING TO TURN THE IGNITION AND GETTING PAST THE CLICKING. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4 DR. 85,000 MILES. PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON...DEALER STATES THE ISSUE IS A FAULTY STEERING ANGLE SENSOR (330 CPT). *TR

AT HWY SPEEDS WHEN A BUMP IS HIT THE FRONT END AND ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY LIKE THE FRONT TIRES ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. THIS OCCURS JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME A BUMP IS HIT. ONLYWAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW TO 15 TO 20 MPH CREATING A TRAFFIC HAZARD. BALL JOINTS, STEERING DAMPER, FRONT END PARTS, NEW TIRES TO NO AVAIL. *TR

WRANGLER HAS A FAILED CLOCKSPRING AND ALWAYS GETS AIRBAG LIGHT ON AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT TO FIX THIS. THERE ARE MANY FAILURES REPORTED AND JEEP SHOULD BE LIABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

GAS OVERFLOW PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK WITH GAS, THE TANK OVERFLOWS, SPILLING GAS ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND ONTO THE GROUND. *KB

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4DR 4X4. AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH, THE FRONT TIRES BEGIN TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. THE SHAKING ONLY STOPPED AFTER I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAPPENED AFTER I HIT A BUMPY ROAD. MY JEEP HAS BEEN A STREET VEHICLE AND REALLY NOT GOING ON THE HIGHWAY MANY TIMES. I ONLY HAVE UNDER 9,000 MILES. NOW THAT I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, AND I HAVE TO DRIVE IN HIGHWAYS, I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING SPEEDS OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR. *TR
