2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

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

FUEL BURP AROUND FUEL NOZZLE AFTER THE AUTO SHUTOFF CLICKS AND STOPS FUEL FLOW. FUEL GOES DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE REAR BUMPER. HAPPENS EVERY FILLUP NO MATTER WHAT THE FILL RATE OF THE STATION SYSTEM. *TR

WHEN TURNING ON JEEP THE STARTER KEEPS GOING, HAVE TO TURN OFF KEY AND RESTART TO GET IT TO QUIT. SEEMS LIKE THE STARTER LOCKS? *TR

LAST SUMMER (2010) MY 4-DOOR 2007 JEEP WRANGLER BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS SHUT-OFF VALVE. WHEN FILLING UP WITH GASOLINE, GAS WOULD SHOOT OUT OF THE TANK AT THE END OF THE FILLING PROCESS. IT SPLASHES OUT OF THE TANK AND IF I DON'T GET OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME, GAS CAN SPRAY ON MY BODY. OTHERWISE, GAS SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY FOR A WHILE AND NOW HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH FUEL. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT AND NOT SOMETHING I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. *TR

THE ISSUE IS LEAKING TRANSMISSION LINES IN 2007 - 2012 JEEP WRANGLERS EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THE TRANSMISSION LINES THAT LEAD FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE RADIATOR ARE LEAKING WHERE THE LINES CHANGE FROM METAL TO RUBBER. ACCORDING TO MANY PEOPLE ON A WWW.JKFORUM.COM AND OTHER JEEP FORUMS ON THE WEB, THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE. IF SOMEONE IS NOT AWARE OF THE LEAK, IT COULD RESULT WITH ALL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK OUT AND THE TRANSMISSION TO OVER HEAT. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD FAIL AND COST THE CONSUMER $1,000'S TO HAVE REPAIRED. ALSO, IF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK IS SERIOUS, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COULD SPRAY ONTO THE EXHAUST OR ENGINE BLOCK AND CATCH FIRE. LEAKING TRANSMISSION LINES ARE HAPPENING TO TOO MANY JEEP WRANGLERS AND IT IS NOT FAIR FOR ALL THESE CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR THESE DAMAGES. THE COST TO REPLACE THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION LINES COULD RANGE BETWEEN $200 AND $300 DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE. AND ONCE AGAIN...IT IS NOT FAIR FOR THE CONSUMER TO EVEN PAY THIS AMOUNT TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY JEEP WRANGLERS FROM THE MANUFACTURE YEARS OF 2007 - 2012. WHEN I CALL MY DEALERSHIP TO PRICE THE TRANSMISSION LINES, THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE PART BECAUSE THEY ARE SOLD OUT. I HAVE ALSO HEARD THAT THE REPLACEMENT LINES HAVE A NEW PART NUMBER (WHICH MAKES ME THINK THEY HAVE BEEN REDESIGNED) AND ARE ON BACK ORDER.

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA. WHEN I FILL THE TANK WITH FUEL I ALWAYS GET AN OVERFILL. THIS IS NOT AN INTERMITTENT THING. IT HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME. THE SPLASHBACK IS SIGNIFICANT SPILLING FUEL ALL OVER MY JEEP THE GROUND AND MOST THE TIMES IF I AM NOT PAYING ATTENTION MYSELF. *TR

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.

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
