2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

MY NAME IS [XXX]. I RUN A REPAIR SHOP CALLED GLEN ALLEN SERVICE CENTER. WE HAVE HAD 3 JEEP WRANGLERS (2007, 2007, AND 2008) THAT HAVE NEEDED BRAKE HOSE REPLACEMENT IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS. THE FIRST ONE WE NOTICED THE HOSE WAS SWOLLEN WHERE A RUBBER COVER IS MADE OVER THE STEEL LINE CRIMP AT THE FRAME AND THE BRAKE CALIPER. WE ADVISED THE CUSTOMER TO REPLACE IT WHICH HE DID. THE OTHER TWO WERE TOWED IN WITH COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE (BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR). CHRYSLER HAS REDESIGNED THE HOSES BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED. BOTH CHRYSLER DEALERS PARTS DEPARTMENTS I DEAL WITH SEEM TO NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ORDERED AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. YOU CAN REACH ME AT [XXX] IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE 'HEAT BARRIER/ SOUND BARRIER' CAUSING ON THE JEEPS FLOORBOARDS CAPTURES WATER WHICH THEN COMPLETELY RUSTS OUT THE FLOOR BOARD. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FREAK DEAL WITH MINE, BUT UPON RESEARCH AND TALKING TO OTHERS WHO OWN WRANGLE, I FOUND THIS WAS PRETTY COMMON. I ALSO CAN FEEL THE DRIVERS FLOOR GETTING VERY HOT AS THERE IS NOW ALMOST NOTHING BETWEEN MY FEET AND THE ALUMINUM HEAT SHIELDING FOR THE EXHAUST THAT RUNS JUST UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE.

PARKED AT A GAS STATION, REFUELING MY JEEP TO THE FULLEST CAUSES IT TO CHOKE ON THE GAS AND THROWS UP SOME OF IT.

TAKATA RECALL - IT HAS ALMOST BEEN A YEAR SINCE THE TAKATA RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. IN THAT TIME, I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY JEEP ONCE. AS IT APPEARS THAT THE WRANGLER IS THE ONLY VEHICLE IN THEIR LINE THAT IS AFFECTED, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. I HAVE A 2007 WRANGLER AND LIVE IN ALABAMA WHICH IS "ZONE A" FOR THE RECALL. I HAVE A COLLEAGUE THAT HAS A SIMILAR AGED VEHICLE FROM TOYOTA THAT WAS TOLD TO PARK THE CAR AND WAS PROVIDED WITH A LOANER BY TOYOTA UNTIL A FIX WAS AVAILABLE BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER. AS THIS IS THE VEHICLE THAT I USE TO DRIVE MY CHILD TO AND FROM SCHOOL, THIS CONCERNS ME. IT SEEMS THAT JEEP IS MAKING NO EFFORT TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM, AND I AM LEFT PUTTING PASSENGERS OF MY VEHICLE IN DANGER. ANY EFFORT TO CONTACT JEEP HAVE RESULTED IN NO RESPONSE. I WOULD MUCH PREFER TO HAVE THE AIRBAG DISABLED AND/OR REMOVED UNTIL A FIX IS AVAILABLE RATHER THAN A POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR MY CHILD. EVEN A NEW INFLATOR THAT IS NO SO OLD WOULD BE A BETTER TEMPORARY FIX. I WOULD APPRECIATE SEEING SOME ACTION ON JEEP'S PART OR SOME ACTION ON THE PART OF NHTSA TO FORCE THE ISSUE.

FILLING THE JEEP UP WITH FUEL IT SPITS A LOT OF FUEL OUT WHEN IT GETS FULL AND SEVERAL TIMES GETTING ON MY CLOTHS AND SHOES. I'VE READ THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IF I WERE TO GET BACK IN THE JEEP AND WOULD GET STATIC AND IGNITE MY CLOTHS AND BURN MYSELF BADLY I DON'T THINK THIS WOULD BE GOOD FOR ANYONE. I'VE READ THAT CERTAIN DEALERS ARE REPLACING THE TANK FOR FREE AND OTHERS AREN'T .IS THERE A RECALL OR FIX IN THE WORKS FOR THIS OR DO PEOPLE HAVE TO BURN UP TO GET ANY ACTION? PLEASE ADVISE

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY JEEP DASH LIT UP AND IT SHUTDOWN. I HAD TO COAST OUT OF HARMS WAY AND HAVE IT TOWED HOME AS IT WOULD NOT RE-START. BEEN READING ABOUT TIPM FAILURES IN MY MODEL YEAR. SEEMS TO BE RELATED. *TR

I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE WILL STALL. IT MAY START BACK UP, OR IT MAY TAKE 10 MINUTES FOR IT TO RESTART. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I BELIEVE IT TO BE A FAULTY TIPM. AT TIMES WHEN IT STALLS, THE BLOWER MOTOR ON THE A/C WILL CONTINUE TO RUN EVEN WITH THE KEY OFF AND OUT OF THE IGNITION. MY CONCERN IS THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WHEN IT STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD. THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINT FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE TIPM REPROGRAMMING THAT IS ON RECALL. THIS DIDN'T HELP THE PROBLEM. *TR

TAKATA RECALL....WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 68 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE OVERPASS TODAY, MY JEEP WENT INTO THE DREADED "DEATH WOBBLE". IT WAS HORRIFYING...I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THOUGHT I WOULD FALL OVER THE OVERPASS. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO BUMPS OR POT HOLES. THIS IS THE SCARIEST THING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED ON THE ROAD. IT FELT LIKE 4 BLOW-OUTS SIMULTANEOUSLY. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL ON SUCH A DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT WHEN FILLING TANK. THE SHUTOFF ON THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT PREVENT THIS FROM OCCURRING. THIS IS NOT AN OVERFILL BUT HAPPENS EVEN WHEN THE PRESSURE IS LIGHT. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN. CHRYSLER/JEEP HAS A TSB TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2010

FIRE STARTED UNDER THE CAR SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. GLOW OF THE FLAME WAS TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE CAR. FIRE WORKED ITS WAY FORWARD AND ENGULFED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CAR WAS IN MOTION EXITING FROM THE HIGHWAY ONTO AN OFF RAMP WHEN ISSUE WAS NOTICED.
