2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA Complaints

MY JEEP WITH 86K MILES ENGINE BLEW. ONE WEEK EARLIER WHEN DRIVING OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR IT SEEMED TO WOBBLE A BIT FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON. I HAVE ONLY OWNED IT FOR A MONTH AND IT IS A 2ND VEHICLE AND I WAS NOT SURE IF THAT WAS NORMAL OR NOT. THEN AFTER NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS I MOVED IT OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS LESS THEN A BLOCK FROM MY HOME WHEN THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND HALF A BLOCK LATER THE ENGINE CUT OUT. THE CAR WOULDNT START AGAIN AND I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY TOLD ME THE INTERNAL FUEL PUMP SEEMED TO MALFUNCTION AND THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN! WHEN I RETURNED HOME I NOTICED A POOL OF OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS CAR SAT FOR DAYS AND WAS BARELY DRIVEN BY ME SINCE MY PURCHASE. HOW DOES AN ENGINE AT 86K MILES JUST BLOW? HOW DOES OIL JUST DUMP OUT OF A VEHICLE? WHY? WELL DOING INTERNET RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT THIS 2007 ENGINE YEAR THERE WAS A MISTAKE IN THE ENGINES WHERE PISTONS WERE PUT IN UPSIDE DOWN? THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS AND MANY 2007 JEEPS HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN. I AM LUCKY IT HAPPENED ON A LOCAL ROAD, IF I WAS DRIVING 65 IN MIDDLE LANE OF A HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF I WOULD BE DEAD. I COULDNT STEER IT. IT JUST STOPPED..... I HAVE TRIED CALLING CHRYSLER AND HAVE BEEN TRANSFERED MANY TIMES TO OTHER PEOPLE, I AM AT A LOSS OF WHAT TO DO. AGAIN, I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE 1.5 MONTHS...

ON MONDAY OCTOBER 16, 2017 I STARTED MY JEEP TO LEAVE FOR WORK. AS I BACKED OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE AT MY APARTMENT AND FELT THE BRAKE PEDAL GO TO THE FLOOR. I ALMOST HIT A NEARBY CAR BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR INTO AN OPPOSITE PARKING SPACE AND THE CURB HELPED ME STOP THE CAR. I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR THE DAY BEFORE WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A NEARBY REPAIR CENTER. THE MECHANIC CALLED ME TO EXPLAIN THAT THE BRAKE CABLE HAD CORRODED AND THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND OLDER JEEP THAT HE HAD SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE SUGGESTED THAT I NOTIFY YOU TO REPORT THIS ISSUE. I'M COUNTING MY BLESSINGS THAT THIS HAPPENED IN MY PARKING LOT AND NOT A FEW MINUTES LATER WHEN I WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH. THE TOTAL COST OF MY REPAIR WAS $446 BECAUSE THE BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN REDESIGNED ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC. IT IS MY HOPE THAT ENOUGH OF THESE PROBLEMS WILL BE REPORTED AND THAT JEEP WILL CONDUCT A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM ATTACHING A PICTURE OF MY DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE AND ALSO A COPY OF MY REPAIR BILL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION OR WHAT STEPS I CAN TAKE TO ENSURE THAT NO ONE ELSE WILL HAVE THIS POTENTIAL FAILURE OF THEIR BRAKES CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SINCERELY, [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, IF YOU HIT A ROUGH SPOT ON THE ROAD, IT STARTS TO SHIMMY AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO VIOLENTLY JERK BACK AND FORTH. THE FRONT TIRES ARE WOBBLING. YOU HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY GRIPPING THE STEERING WHEEL AND PUSH ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS YOU CAN WITHOUT LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TO GET IT STOPED.

JEEP DEATH WOBBLE IN MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. NO RHYME OR REASON, CAR WILL BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE BETWEEN 45 - 65 MPH. I HAVE TO COMPLETELY STOP AND PULL CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS STOP. INCREDIBLY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. HAVE GONE TO TO DEALERSHIP AND EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION ALL OF WHICH ARE UNBELIEVABLE IN COST WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY.

DEATH WOBBLE-HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED AND COMES BACK. CANNOT DRIVE OVER 55 MPH IN CITY OR HIGHWAY WITHOUT ENTIRE CAR STARTING TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. WILL SHAKE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND STOP ON ITS OWN. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR

I ORIGINALLY TOOK MY JEEP IN TO THE DEALER SHIP BECAUSE EVERY TIME I WOULD FILL UP THE GAS WOULD OVERFLOW. THEY SAID THAT THEY REPLACED HE FILLER NECK BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT. NOW IT TAKES 30 MINUTES TO FILL UP THE TANK FROM 1/4 TANK BECAUSE THE GAS PUMP WILL CLICK OFF EVERY 2 SECONDS.

WHEN I TURN THE KEY IT READS INVALID SKIM KEY AND WILL NOT CRANK UNLESS THE KEY IS PUSHED INTO THE CYLINDER WHEN A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE.

TAKATA RECALL . I WAS GIVEN A RECALL NOTICE EARLY IN 2016 . THE JEEP DEALER IN N MIAMI SAID THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND THEY WILL NOTIFY WHEN THEY ARRIVE. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED IN 1 YEAR. I AM MOST APPREHENSIVE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ON MAJOR ROADS . THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE . PLEASE ADVISE

MY JEEP WILL START BUT NO GAUGES OR LIGHT ON DASH COME ON, THE WIPERS TURN ON AT FULL POWER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE JEEP WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE TIPM IS CAUSING THE ISSUES.
