2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

THE JEEP SAT IN MY DRIVE WAY FOR HALF HOUR BEFORE I TOOK IT OUT. GOT 200 YARDS FROM MY HOME AND I LOST POWER STEERING,HORN AND WIPERS GOING OFF WITH OUT TOUCHING ANY OF THEM THEN THE JEEP SHUT OFF AND SMOKE POURED OUT FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. LIFTED THE HOOD AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE INNER FENDER WAS ON FIRE! WITH IN MINUTES THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE JEEP ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS DESTROYED. THE FUSE BOX , BATTERY, AND WIRING HARNESS WHERE DESTROYED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID IT STARTED IN THE FUSE BOX. THIS JEEP IS COMPLETELY STOCK AND AS BEEN PERFECT TILL THIS! NEVER ANY ISSUES IN THE YEAR HALF I OWN IT! *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. FIRST THE HORN GOES OFF, THEN ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD GO OFF, THEN IT FINALLY STALLED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 2X AND BOTH TIMES WAS TOLD NOTHING WRONG. WHY IS THE JEEP DEALERSHIP, THE ONES THAT SHOULD KNOW THE VEHICLE BETTER THAN ANY OTHER MECHANIC, TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WHEN THERE CLEARLY IS A PROBLEM? I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL ITS FIXED. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING ME $100 EACH TIME AND TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2013. EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK UP IT OVERFLOWS. THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF AT THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF UNTIL THERE IS GAS SPILLING OUT ALL OVER MY VEHICLE, THE NOZZLE AND THE GROUND. IT HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME. *TR

MY WIFE AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED AT LEAST FIVE (5) INCIDENTS WHERE THE VEHICLE ENGINE STALLS/KILLS AND EITHER RESTARTS ITSELF OR HAS BE MANUALLY RESTARTED VIA IGNITION KEY. THE SYMPTOMS MIRROR EXACTLY THOSE DESCRIBED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE07027. (DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN VEHICLE DASH LIGHTS UP AS IF FRESHLY STARTED, AND SOMETIMES NEEDS TO BE MANUALLY RESTARTED, AND SOMETIMES HAS RESTARTED ITSELF) THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS EXPERIENCED BY MY WIFE IN AUGUST OF 2009, AND THE VEHICLE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY INSPECTED BY JEEP DEALER [XXX] MOTORS OF MINOCQUA, WI, WHO AFTER INSPECTION AND ROAD TEST REPORTED "NO TROUBLE FOUND." (PER MY INVOICE DATED 8/24/09) AT THAT POINT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY WITH 33,054 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, AND I WAS CHARGED $35.25 FOR THAT SERVICE ITEM. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED OCTOBER 14, 2013, AND WAS WITNESSED BY MY SON. IN THAT CASE I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH ON I-70 APPROACHING I-15 IN UTAH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE MANUALLY RESTARTED VIA KEY. THAT WAS THE 3RD INCIDENT I'VE EXPERIENCED IN THE PAST 5 MONTHS. *TR

THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4 DOOR HAS SEEMED TO HAVE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING VIOLENT SHAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES WHERE THE VEHICLE SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE HAVING A TIRE BLOWN OUT. IT ALMOST THROWS YOU OFF THE ROAD. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM NERVOUS AND DO NOT THINK THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE. *TR

THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE KEYS WERE NOT EVEN IN THE IGNITION. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HORN STARTED HONKING, WIPERS WENT OFF AND WINDSHIELD FLUID STARTED SPRAYING EVERY WHERE. IT HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES. IT HAS ALSO DONE THIS JUST WHEN OPENING THE DOORS AND NO KEYS IN THE IGNITION. IT BLINKS THROUGH THE GEARS ON THE TRANSMISSION AND HAS LOCKED UP THE TRACTION CONTROL. I HAVE HAD IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND IT IS JUST NOW POSSIBLY DIAGNOSED WITH TIPM. IM PART OF A JEEP CLUB IN WHICH WE HAVE AN ONLINE FORUM AND THIS IN NOT JUST HAPPENING TO MY JEEP ITS HAPPENING TO MANY JEEPS AND I FEEL ITS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. CHRYSLER HAS PAID FOR SEVERAL OF THE JEEPS ON THE FORUM, SO FAR THEY HAVEN'T PAID FOR MINE BUT I THINK THIS ISSUE REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE VEHICLE, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL FUEL OVERFLOW. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT FILLING UP, REGARDLESS OF THE PUMP OR STATION, AND REGARDLESS OF THE NOZZLE ITSELF. THERE IS ENOUGH FUEL SPILLAGE TO FILL AT LEAST A 16 OZ. CUP EVERY TIME I FILL UP.

FUEL SPITBACK ISSUE. UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, JEEP WRANGLERS BUILT 3/1/2007 - 3/31/2008 CAN HAVE THEIR FUEL TANKS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. MINE WAS BUILT IN JANUARY 2007. IF THIS IS AN ISSUE IN SO MANY OTHER JEEPS THAT FALL OUTSIDE OF THESE BUILT DATES, I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY WERE NOT INCLUDED. MY VEHICLE SPITS OUT SOMETIMES AND ESTIMATED QUART OF GASOLINE AFTER THE AUTOMATIC FILL PUMP STOPS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS PUMPING ON THE HIGHER OR LOWER SPEED. THIS GASOLINE, EVEN THOUGH I WASH IT OFF EVERY TIME, HAS LEFT MARKS ON MY TIRES AND I HOPE IT DOES NOT CORRODE THE PAINT OR PLASTIC TRIM. *TR

SPITS GAS UPON FILLING. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER ORIGINALLY AND THEY REPLACED THE CARBON CAN AND OTHER ITEMS TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $500. DID IT AGAIN A MONTH LATER AND STILL DOES EVERY TIME FOR THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. WE HAVE LEARNED TO PUT THE CAP WHERE IT WON'T GET WET AND STAND FAR AWAY FORM THE FILLER WHEN FILLING. I SAW THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A FUEL INLET CHECK VALVE, BUT AM RELUCTANT TO GO TO DEALER (ONLY ONE AROUND FOR 120 MILES) BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HOSED BUY THEM, I'D RATHER GET HOSED BY FUEL. IF THE VEHICLE BURNS DOWN A GAS STATION IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT THERE ISN'T A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

DEATH WOBBLE. YES IT'S SCARY. FIRST TIME ON THE FREEWAY, THEN IT WAS EASY TO DUPLICATE AFTER THAT AT SPEEDS ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP. I REPLACED THE SHOCKS, AND CHECKED TORQUE ON ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS, SAME PROBLEM. I ORDERED A NEW TRACK BAR (PANNARD ROD) WHICH I FOUND OUT HAD BEEN UPGRADED, AND WELDED REINFORCEMENTS WHERE THE BAR MOUNTS ON THE AXLE AND FRAME SUCH THAT THE BOLTS (ALSO REPLACED) FIT TIGHTER. PROBLEM GONE SINCE, 25000 MILES AGO. ALL STOCK SUSPENSION AND TIRE SIZE. THE DENIAL FROM CHRYSLER IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
