STEERING, SUSPENSION
MY VEHICLE DEVELOPED A HORRIBLE WOBBLE IN THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I SLOWED DOWN AND THE WOBBLE STOPPED BUT PERSISTED WHENEVER I WENT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE HOWEVER THE COST OF REPAIRS IS MINE TO BEAR. THIS COULD CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT, YET JEEP IS IGNORING REPAIRING THIS. TO THIS DAY IT IS STILL NOT FIXED 100%. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I STARTED MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X2 (MANUAL SHIFT) AND WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVE WAY (THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN GEAR) WHEN THE JEEP TURNED ITSELF OFF AND RESTARTED. AT THE TIME IT RESTARTED ITSELF, THE HORN BEGAN BLOWING NON-STOP, THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON, WASHER FLUID SPRAYED FROM THE REAR WIPERS, THE DASH LIGHTS TURNED ON, THE RADIO TURNED ON, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TURNED ON. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE HORN KEPT BLOWING, BOTH SETS OF WIPERS WERE ON, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ON, THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING, THE DASH LIGHTS REMAINED LIT, AND THE RADIO WOULDN'T SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF, BUT NOTHING HELPED. THE HORN WAS BLOWING LIKE A DEMON. THE NEIGHBORS RACED OVER TO HELP ME. WE MANUALLY STALLED THE JEEP TO STOP THE ENGINE, BUT THE HORN, RADIO, LIGHTS, AND WIPERS REMAINED ON. WE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY TERMINAL - HORN KEPT BLOWING. (THIS WIPED OUT THE COMPUTER CODES). THEN WE DISCONNECTED THE HORN TO KEEP IT FROM BLOWING NON-STOP. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY JEEP. ON THANKSGIVING DAY 2014 - THE VEHICLE TURNED ITSELF OFF AND TURNED ITSELF BACK ON WHILE DRIVING AT 45MPH. THE ABS AND COMPASS MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED. SOFTWARE UPDATES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. THE CLOCKSPRING WAS REPLACED. THEY CLAIM THE TIPM WAS REPLACED IN 2007. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AND THE DEALERSHIP ON ALL OCCASIONS AFTER EACH INCIDENT AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT IF THEY CAN'T SEE ANY CODES, THEN THE ISSUE DIDN'T HAPPEN. THEY WANT TO SEE OF VIDEO. I NEED HELP WITH MY DEMON JEEP - I AM TOTALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER CORPORATION WON'T HELP ME. THAT THING WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THESE ISSUES BEGAN IN AUGUST 2014 AND REMAINS UNRESOLVED AS OF 1/17/2015. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

I CAN NOT DATE THE OTHER INCIDENTS AS I THOUGHT IT WAS A PUMP PROBLEM INTILL IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY ON A LONG ROAD TRIP AT 3 DIFFERENT STATIONS THAT I LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM TO FIND MANY OTHERS HAVE THE ISSUE. *TR

THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AFTER HITTING AN UNEVEN ROAD ON A HILL/CURVE. THE SHAKING WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL I HIT THE BRAKES. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN DECEMBER OF 2014. A MECHANIC SAID THE STEERING STABILIZER AND FRONT BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM WAS COMMON WITH JEEPS, KNOWN AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE". *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN EXTREME SHAKING WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. I OCCURS VERY RANDOMLY AND COMES ON WITH OUT NOTICE. IT OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL SUBURBAN STREETS AND AT ANY SPEED. I READ AN ARTICLE FROM 08' FROM ANOTHER PERSON THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IT SOUNDED LIKE NOTHING WAS DONE FROM THIS ORGANIZATION AND THE VEHICLE MAKER. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE SITUATION FOR OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS MESSAGE AND LET ME KNOW IF SOMETHING CAN AND WILL BE DONE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND WHILE REFUELING MY JEEP THE PUMP WOULDN'T SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN UNTIL A PINT TO QUART OF FUEL SPILLED OUT OF THE INLET. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I PUT FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. NOW I LISTEN TO THE INLET TO HEAR IT COMING TO THE TOP AND WHEN IT'S ALMOST FULL I STOP THE FLOW, BUT I STILL END UP COVERED IN FUEL WHICH BURNS THE SKIN AND IS HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. I AM ON AN ARMY BASE SO SECONDARY CONTAINMENT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP I HAVE TO PUT A MAT UNDER MY FUEL INLET. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) FAILURE CAUSING EVERY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION - USUALLY AT THE SAME TIME. ALARM/HORN, WIPERS/WASHER, RADIO, GAUGES, ETC), TO WHICH REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION HAS NO EFFECT. ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REMOVE BATTERY CONNECTION ( AND APOLOGIZE TO THOSE AROUND YOU IN TRAFFIC FOR THE INCONVENIENT SHOW THE VEHICLE JUST PUT ON). MANUFACTURER RECALL OF TIPMS ONLY COVERED CERTAIN MANUFACTURE DATES, DESPITE THE PROBLEM NOT BEING LIMITED TO JUST THAT ONE GROUP OF VEHICLES. REPAIR (REPLACEMENT OF TIPM) IS > $1000. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
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 (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. 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. *TR
