2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START ON OCCASIONS. I WILL NOT KNOW WHEN THIS PROBLEM WILL OCCUR.I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FIVE (5) TIMES SINCE JULY 8, 2008 AFTER THEY HAVE TOLD ME THE SITUATION HAS BEEN REMEDIED. THE BATTERY AND STARTER HAVE BEEN CHANGED BEFORE JULY 8, 2009. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN 2008. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2007 JK WITH 3,000 MILES. FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, IT HAS HAD THE VIOLENT, SHAKING, UNCONTROLLABLE PROBLEM REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." ALTHOUGH THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON, I HARDLY THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THREE DIFFERENT SUSPENSION SYSTEMS, HAVE ROTATED MY TIRED RELIGIOUSLY (EVERY OIL CHANGE), HAVE REPLACED THREE STEERING STABILIZERS, AND NOW I AM COMPLETELY AT A LOSS OF NEW IDEAS. I HAVE CHANGED BUSHINGS, BEARINGS, TIGHTENED THE TRACK BAR, AND TRIED EVERY DIFFERENT ADJUSTMENT TO THINK OF. NOTHING HAS WORKED. WHEN THE DEATH WOBBLE OCCURS, I AM COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS, NORMALLY MY WIFE AND MY FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOTHING TO OFFER, LOCAL SUSPENSION SHOPS ARE AT A LOSS, AND OBVIOUSLY MY EXPERIENCE PALES IN COMPARISON. THERE HAS TO BE SOME WAY TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE CONTACT SLOWED DOWN TO LESS THAN 20 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER, WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE REMEDIED THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

ON THURS JUNE 25 AT APX 1800 HRS BOTH HALVES OF THE FREEDOM TOP ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER FLEW OFF THE CAR AT 55 MPH. THE FIBERGLASS FAILED AND THE TOPS TORE AWAY FROM THE METAL LATCHES. I GOT FIBERGLASS IN MY EYES AND HURT MY NECK IN THE PROCESS. THE TOPS WERE FIRMLY SECURED AND HAD NOT BEEN OFF THE CAR IN AT LEAST SIX WEEKS. DURING THOSE SIX WEEKS I HAD DRIVEN IN EXCESS OF 55 MPH WITH OUT A PROBLEM HAD ANYONE BEEN DRIVING BEHIND ME THE CERTAINLY COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED. I RETRIEVED THE TOPS FROM THE HWY AND HAVE THEM AS EVIDENCE I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OR TAKE ANY KIND OF CORRECTIVE ACTION THE CAR HAS 40,000 MI ON IT. MY INSURANCE CO SAYS I AM NOT COVERED FOR THE DAMAGE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED TOPS ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

I DRIVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4-DOOR. THE VERY FIRST WEEK I BOUGHT THE CAR (MARCH, 2007) I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE RADIO SHUT OFF, THE DASHBOARD POWERED OFF AND THE JEEP SEEMED TO LOSE POWER FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS AND THEN IT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. I PULLED OVER, CALLED THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID A RECALL HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AND I SHOULD BE RECEIVING IT SHORTLY. WRONG! THE RECALL WAS FOR THE BRAKES. SINCE 2007, THE RADIO/DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CUTTING IN AND OUT ABOUT 10 TIMES A YEAR. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

INSPECTION MECHANIC INFORMED THAT AT 48,000 MILES THE REAR ROTORS ARE WORN OUT. I CANNOT FIND ANY AFTER MARKET ROTORS ONLY MOPAR. THE FRONT ROTORS ARE GOOD AND THIS JUST SHOULD NOT BE. THE FRONT ROTORS SHOULD WEAR OUT FIRST SINCE THE FRONT SHOULD BE DOING MOST OF THE STOPPING AT LIKE 60 TO 70 PERCENT. *TR

I SEE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS LISTED HERE. THE WHOLE IP JUST BLANKS OUT AT RANDOM TIMES. I HAVE JUST SHY OF 50K MILES AND THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES. THE ENGINE KEEPS RUNNING AND THE CAR IS FUNCTIONAL BUT THE SPEEDO, TACH, ODOMETER AND ALL GAUGES GO BLANK, BUT ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. THEN EVERYTHING RESETS AND COMES BACK TO NORMAL. *TR

A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4DR. 4X4 WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, IS VERY DIFFICULT TO GET INTO 1ST GEAR. OFTEN, WHEN STARTING OUT, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR INTO NEUTRAL UNDER LOAD, RESULTING IN AN UNSAFE AND STARTLING CONDITION. THIS OCCURS WITH ALL THREE DRIVERS IN THE HOUSE, AND ALSO WITH SOMEONE WHO BORROWED THE CAR. HOWEVER, THE DEALER CLAIMS NOT TO BE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, AND OFFERS THE CAR FOR PICK UP. I SEE BELOW THAT THERE IS A REQUEST FOR THE APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE, BUT THIS IS A RECURRING CONDITION. *TR

SEVERE WOBBLE AND OSCILLATION IN THE STEERING AND FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM. A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD, WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE BETWEEN 35-70 MPH CAN INITIATE A SEVERE, VIOLENT SHAKING, AND A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. AFTER REPLICATING THE PROBLEM ON A PRIVATE ROAD, OBSERVERS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE NOTED THAT THE FRONT TIRES WOULD COMPLETELY LEAVE THE GROUND ON EACH OSCILLATION. MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS REPORT SIMILAR INCIDENTS. *TR

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, HEADLIGHTS ON AND RADIO ON. RADIO CUTOUT AND ALL DASH LIGHTS (IDIOT) CAME ON, THE RADIO CAME BACK ON WITHIN ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND ALL DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS. CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT DISENGAGE AND THERE WAS NO APPARENT LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THIS IS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OF THIS SITUATION, NO OBD-II CODES ARE STORED IN THE COMPUTER. THERE ARE NO LASTING EFFECTS AND APPEARS TO RUNNING NORMALLY. *TR
