2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SUDDENLY BOILED OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE BOILING FLUID THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE EXHAUST AND CAUSED A FIRE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BACK AND KNEE INJURIES AS WELL AS SMOKE INHALATION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK FUEL SHUT OFF DOES NOT WORK. FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF FILL HOLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 35, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE, AND WITHIN SECONDS THE STEERING WAS SHAKING SO BADLY THAT I HAD TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER RESUMING MY SPEED, THE CAR WAS NO LONGER SHAKING. SINCE THAT TIME, I EXPERIENCE A SLIGHT TO MODERATE SHAKE AT ALL SPEEDS, AND EXPERIENCE THE "DEATH WOBBLE" ALMOST DAILY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL RECOMMENDATIONS AS FAR AS TIRE ROTATION IS CONCERNED, AS WELL AS ALIGNMENT WHEN TIRES WERE PURCHASED. I HAVE SINCE FOUND THE RECENT CHRYSLER TSB REGARDING THE DEATH WOBBLE, AND AM CURRENTLY HAVING THE VEHICLES SUSPENSION AND WHEELS CHECKED. I WANT IT ON RECORD THAT THIS VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM DAILY. *TR

ARE JEEP STARTED SHAKING VERY BADLY. WE HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND SEEN THAT MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM , THEY ARE CALLING IT THE DEATH WOBBLE. WHY IS JEEP NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? *TR

WHENEVER I FILL MY TANK, IT SPITS GASOLINE OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE OVERFLOW VALVE IN THE STEM DOESNT WORK. NOT ONLY IS THIS AN EXPENSIVE ISSUE AS GAS IS LOST AT EACH FILL UP, BUT ALSO ENVIRONMENTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTER LINKAGE POPS OFF AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SWITCH GEARS. THIS IS DANGEROUS. YOU MAY THINK YOU'RE IN PARK WHEN YOU'RE ACTUALLY IN DRIVE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO MOVE FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, VEHICLE DAMAGE AND BODILY INJURY. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DOOR SAHARA IN MARCH OF 2012. ABOUT 30 DAYS AFTER THE PURCHASE (WHICH IS WHEN DEALER WARRANTY EXPIRED) THE VEHICLE'S BRAKES STARTING SQUEAKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE DIRTY. THEY "CLEANED" THE BRAKES AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THE NEXT DAY THE BRAKES STARTED SQUEAKING AGAIN EVERY TIME I BRAKE. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE BRAND NEW. AT THIS TIME, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ALSO STOPPED LOCKING CORRECTLY. THE WARRANTY I HAD PURCHASED FOR $2,000 DID NOT COVER ELECTRONICS! A COUPLE MONTHS GO BY AND I EXPERIENCED THE POPULAR DEATH WOBBLE AFTER GETTING AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION. IT TURNS OUT THE REAR TRACKBAR BRACKET WAS CRACKED AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETELY BROKE IN HALF. I BOUGHT A HEAVY DUTY ADJUSTABLE REAR TRACKBAR AND HAD A NEW BRACKET WELDED ON WHICH SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED AGAIN. I THEN TOOK THE JEEP TO GET THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED AND THE DEATH WOBBLE STARTED AT JUST 30MPH AS WE WERE LEAVING THE SHOP. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY WERE DUMBFOUNDED AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. SO THEY PLACED THE TIRES BACK WHERE THEY WERE WHEN I TOOK IT IN AND IT STOPPED FOR A COUPLE MORE DAYS. SINCE THEN I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT TRACKBAR, STEERING STABILIZER, AND SHOCKS, WHICH ALL SEEMED TO HAVE PUT IT AT BAY. HOWEVER, NOW I HAVE $340-A-PIECE TIRES THAT HAVE BEEN WORN OUT AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD I CANNOT GET THE ALIGNMENT FIXED UNTIL I REPLACE THE FRONT BALL JOINTS! I PAID ABOUT $30,000 FOR THIS VEHICLE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE HAD TO PUT IN AROUND $2500 IN REPAIRS AND UPGRADES DUE TO POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE. ON TOP OF THAT I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE IT WITH MY FAMILY FOR FEAR OF OUR SAFETY. I HAVE SEEN MANY ONLINE FORUMS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WON'T HELP ME. THE MANUFACTURER WON'T HELP. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE BEFORE A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS. *TR

SINCE JUNE 2012 WHEN FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK NO MATTER HOW SLOW OR FAST THE LAST BIT OF FUEL SPEWS FROM THE TANK FILLER OPENING SPILLING ALL OVER THE CAR AND GROUND OCCURS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS FUELED UP COMPLETELY. *TR

EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL MY TANK, IT OVERFLOWS. IT DOESN'T RESPOND TO THE SHUT-OFF MECHANISM. I'VE HAD MY CAR SINCE FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR AND IT'S HAPPENED EVERY TIME I'VE TRIED TO FILL UP FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW. *TR

I WAS ON HIGHWAY AND I GOT WHAT I NOW FIND OUT IS COMMON IN MY CAR THE DEATH WOBBLE. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY TO MAKE IT STOP. VERY SCARY AND DEADLY. *TR
