2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

THE DOORS WILL NO LONGER LOCK OR UNLOCK, AT TIMES THE LOCKING OF THE DOORS IS INTERMITTENT. WE RECENTLY HAD THE CLOCK SPRING REPAIRED AT LAMPE DODGE AND THEN THE LOCKS STARTED MALFUNCTIONING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE INFORMED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TIPM MODULE. I AM RESEARCHING THIS OUT MYSELF DUE TO THE DEALERSHIP REPORTING THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT JEEP IS IGNORING. ADDITIONALLY I WILL BE FILING A REPORT ON THE 2007 WRANGLER EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE SAME REPAIR SHOP WAS LOOKING INTO THE EXHAUST NOISE COMING FROM THIS VEHICLE AND INFORMED ME OF TWO CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. ADDITIONALLY EXHAUST MANIFOLD 1 WAS MISSING 3 BOLTS AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD 2 WAS MISSING 2 BOLTS. AT THIS TIME THE MECHANIC BELIEVED THE BOLTS HAD BEEN FORCED OUT OF THEIR LOCATION BY FAULTY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT WARPED.

PARKING BRAKE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. BRAKES WILL NOT STAY ADJUSTED. I'VE ADJUSTED IT AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT STRONG FUEL FUMES EMITTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK COMING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK, LOCK RING AND THE FUEL PUMP WERE DETERIORATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 4/7/15*CN UPDATED 6/25/2015*JS

AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH IF I HIT A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD MY JEEP BEGINS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND CONTROL IS LOST TO THE VEHICLE TO THE POINT THAT YOU MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE REGAINING CONTROL. THIS IS CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" BY ONLINE COMMUNITIES AND SERVICE REPAIRMEN. THE INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION AS I WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE CAR IN MY LANE AND RAN ANOTHER CAR INTO A DITCH. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT OR PROPERTY DAMAGED. *TR

TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, ALL DASH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND LOST ENGINE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OF ROAD SAFELY AND CAR DIED COMPLETELY. THIS IS 4TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. FIRST TIME, WITH LESS THAN 75000 MILES AND JEEP DEALER REPLACED BATTERY. SECOND TIME WAS ON VACATION AND DIED ON FREEWAY IN HARRISBURG, PA, WAS TOWED TO AAA SHOP AND BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THIRD TIME WAS NEAR MY HOME AND HUSBAND RECHARGED BATTERY AND TAKEN TO A LOCAL SHOP, WHO REPLACED ALT. , THAT WAS YESTERDAY. TONIGHT, ON THE WAY TO WORK, HAPPENED AGAIN. EVERY TIME, NO WARNING, DASH LIGHTS COME ON A CAR DIES. ANY OF THESE COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BUT WAS LUCKY TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. *TR

FUEL OVERSPILLS AND SPITS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS ON AND OFF. I HAVE REPLACED EVAP. SYSTEM PARTS WITH NO RESOLUTION.

FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS ON EVERY FILL-UP. THERE IS A RECALL WRANGLERS MANUFACTURED IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2007 BUT THIS ONE WAS MADE 12/2007 AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE PREVIOUS RECALL BUT EXHIBITS THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAS DONE SO SINCE PURCHASE. *TR

ON THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. I WILL PREFER TO GET CONTACTED BY EMAIL. *TR

TRANSMISSION POPS VIOLENTLY OUT OF FIRST GEAR UPON ACCELERATION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH AND PAUSE/STOP SUDDENLY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS WITH INCREASING SEVERITY AND OCCURRENCE. THE VEHICLE, WHEN IN FIRST GEAR, IS MOST OFTEN IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNING OR CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS WITH INCREASING SEVERITY AND OCCURRENCE TO THE POINT WE FELT IT DANGEROUS SO WE FINALLY TOOK IT TO A DEALER. DESPITE IT BEING KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL, JEEP REFUSED TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM CITING THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE AND WARRANTY EXPIRATION. *TR

ON THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL.
