POWER TRAIN
2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. 85,000 MILES. JEEP WILL NOT START THE MAJORITY OF TIME. JEEP WILL CLICK, AND NOT START. BATTERY, BATTERY CABLES, AND STARTER NOT THE ISSUE. DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A RECONFIGURATION ON THE TIPM FOR $80, BUT ISSUE NOT RESOLVED. IT APPEARS THAT A NEUTRAL START WILL INCREASE CHANCES OF THE VEHICLE STARTING, BUT NOT ALWAYS. WIGGLING THE SHIFTER IN PARK, OR MOVING IT INTO "NEUTRAL" PRIOR TO STARTING INCREASES THE SUCCESS RATIO. VEHICLE WILL ALWAYS START THE FIRST TIME EACH DAY, BUT AFTER THAT, YOU'RE STUCK TRYING TO TURN THE IGNITION AND GETTING PAST THE CLICKING. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2007 JEEP WRANGLER/ LESS THAN 18 K MILES: HIT MINOR BUMP AT APPROX 40 MILES/ HR, FRONT END BEGAN VIOLENT WOBBLING AND I COULD NOT STOP THE WOBBLE UNTIL I FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THIS SITUATION DID NOT RESULT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS WAS THE 1ST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME, JUST PURCHASED 2 MONTHS AGO. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX PROBLEM. DID RESEARCH AND I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 45 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS; EVER. *TR

ONLYWAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW TO 15 TO 20 MPH CREATING A TRAFFIC HAZARD. BALL JOINTS, STEERING DAMPER, FRONT END PARTS, NEW TIRES TO NO AVAIL. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
IN 208 I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER, WITH 11,000 MILES, AFTER DRIVING ONLY 1,000. MILES MY FRONT END STARTING WOBBLING VIOLENTLY, RETURNED TO DEALER AND THEY STATED MY TIRES NEEDED TO BE ROAD FORCED BALANCE, WITHIN 3 MONTHS WHILE DRIVING TO WORK GOING ABOUT 45MPH THE TRUCK FRONT END DID THE KNOW DEATH WOBBLE, RETURNED TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD MY TIRES WERE CUPPED, PURCHASED NEW TIRES, SEEM TO ELEVATE THE PROBLEM, ONLY FOR IT TO HAPPEN SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND TWO ADDITIONAL SET OF TIRES. I AM NOW DRIVING ON A SET OF TIRES THAT IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD, AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, WAS ON THE INTERSTATE LAST WEEK DRIVING ABOUT 70MPH WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE MY FRONT END STARTED TO WOBBLE OUT OF CONTROL, I DID MANAGE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH BUT WAS SHIFTED INTO ANOTHER LANE, COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING, WAS LUCKY THE INTERSTATE WAS NOT BUSY, THIS COULD OF RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED ON THE SUSPENSION, THE 2010-2011 JEEPS HAVE HAD ONE SO OBVIOUSLY CHRYSLER IS AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT END SUSPENSION. THIS WILL BE A COSTLY REPAIR,SO MANY DIFFERENT POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS BUT NONE ARE A GUARANTEE, SEEM TO ME CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY DESIGN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

WRANGLER HAS A FAILED CLOCKSPRING AND ALWAYS GETS AIRBAG LIGHT ON AFTER DRIVING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT TO FIX THIS. THERE ARE MANY FAILURES REPORTED AND JEEP SHOULD BE LIABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
WHENEVER I PUT GAS INTO MY TANK AND FILL UP, THERE IS ALWAYS AN OVERFLOW OF GASOLINE SPILLING OUT OF THE TANK AND ONTO MY JEEP AS WELL AS ONTO THE FLOOR. ASIDE FROM THE DAMAGE BEING DONE TO MY VEHICLE, THIS CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT FROM FUMES AS WELL AS RAISING THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRES. *KB

STEERING
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA AND HAVE RECENTLY HAD INCREASING INCIDENTS OCCUR WHERE THE STEERING WILL WOBBLE/VIBRATE CAUSING UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING. IT IS A FEELING LIKE THE WHEELS ARE FALLING OFF OR YOU HAVE FLAT TIRES PULLING YOU FROM SIDE TO SIDE. ONCE IT STARTS THIS PROCESS, IT SEEMS TO INCREASE IN INCIDENTS AND WILL USUALLY BE TRIGGERED BY HITTING SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD, IE. CONSTRUCTION ZONE. BUT, ONCE IT OCCURS, IT WILL HAVE CONTINUED INSTANCES EVEN WHEN DRIVING OVER SLIGHTLY CURVED/UNLEVEL ROAD. I HAD TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OFF I-10 GOING 65MPH W/OUT STEERING CONTROL! ONCE SLOWED TO BELOW 30/35MPH IT SEEMS TO GET BETTER CURRENTLY, BUT CONTINUES NUMEROUS TIMES LATER. *KB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I HAVE A 2007 WRANGLER X WITH 37K ON IT, AND FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT HAS ILLUMUNATED AND IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE STILL UNDER WARRENTY AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT FIX IT OR EVEN MENTION THAT IT EXISTED, A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT ONLY THAT BUT ALSO THE CRUIZ CONTROL AND HORN DO NOT WORK EITHER. CAN YOU SAY CHRYSLER NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ADJUST ACCORDINGLY WITH THE FAULTY CLOCKSPRING DEAL? THIS IS REDICULOUS AND I CAN NOT AFFORD 500 BUCKS TO THROW INTO FAULTY PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PART. WHERE IS CHRYSLER??? ARE YOU LISTENING TO YOUR CUSTOMERS? NO. *TR

STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, WHEELS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4DR 4X4. AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MPH, THE FRONT TIRES BEGIN TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. THE SHAKING ONLY STOPPED AFTER I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS HAPPENED AFTER I HIT A BUMPY ROAD. MY JEEP HAS BEEN A STREET VEHICLE AND REALLY NOT GOING ON THE HIGHWAY MANY TIMES. I ONLY HAVE UNDER 9,000 MILES. NOW THAT I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, AND I HAVE TO DRIVE IN HIGHWAYS, I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING SPEEDS OVER 50 MILES PER HOUR. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
UPON DRIVING OVER AN UNEVEN AREA OF PAVEMENT (I.E. TRAIN TRACKS, EXPANSION JOINT, ETC.) STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT WHEELS SHAKE VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH. FIRST OCCURRENCE IN MARCH 2009 AT 24,575 MILES, DEALER DETERMINED IT WAS THE STEERING DAMPENER, REPLACED. SECOND OCCURRENCE IN SEPTEMBER 2010 AT 27,929 MILES, DEALER REPLACED THE DAMPENER AND UPDATED MOUNTING BRACKET. THIRD OCCURRENCE APRIL 2011 AT 33,845 MILES (ONLY 5,916 MILES ON SECOND REPLACEMENT). DEALER REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT WAS OVER THE 12 MONTH PART WARRANTY. CONTACTED CHRYSLER COMPLAINT RESOLUTION, SAME ANSWER. THEY STATED THEY CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO SAID THEY REFUSED REPAIR DUE TO "EXCESSIVE OFF-ROAD USAGE". VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN USED OFF ROAD SINCE THE SECOND REPLACEMENT AND THE DEALER HAS NOT SEEN THE VEHICLE SINCE THEN. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHILE TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X (WITH 55000 MILES) "CHIMED" AND THE AIR-BAG , TRACTION CONTROL, AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP. UPON INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT THIS LEAVES THE SAFETY SYSTEMS INACTIVE! A BAD "CLOCK SPRING" IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS HE CAUSE OF ALL THE SYSTEM FAILURES. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD STILL BE COVERED BY JEEP/CHRYSLER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN OR ME AND MY FAMILY. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER SAYS IT IS THE CLOCKSPRING AND IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME SERIES OF JEEP (2007-2011WRANGLER) . AND HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. AS THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE IN CURRENT AUTOMOBILES I WOULD EXPECT THERE WOULD BE SOME INVESTIGATION INTO MULTIPLE FAILURES. *TR
