STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
1-BOUGHT 2007 JEEP WRANGLER BRAND NEW 2-SOFT TOP WAS LEAKING OVER SEAT BELTS, THE FLOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS ARE WET AFTER RAINS. 3-DEALER SAID THAT THE SALESMAN PUT THE TOP ON WRONG AND IT WAS FIXED. TOP STILL LEAKS, DEALERSHIP SAID THAT ALL THE SOFT TOPS LEAK AND IT IS JUST THAT WAY. NOW I ALWAYS PARK MY JEEP IN THE GARAGE, BUT SOMETIMES I HAPPEN TO BE AT WORK DURING A RAIN STORM. I DO NOT THINK IT IS RIGHT THAT DEALERSHIPS CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL THE TOPS LEAKING. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD PAY FOR THESE TO BE FIXED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
IT IS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL, THERE IS A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. WHEN IN THE RPM RANGE OF 1500 TO 2000 RPMS IT MAKES THIS NOISE. IT IS STARTING TO BECOME VERY ANNOYING BECAUSE THE MORE I DRIVE THE LOUDER IT GETS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE THROW OUT BEARING PER THE TSB THAT WAS GIVEN. THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE 30 DAYS TO GET A FIELD ENGINEER OUT TO LOOK AT MY PROBLEM TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR IT. SO I AM STILL WAITING AND NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THE DEALERSHIPS OUTCOME. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
VEHICLE: 2007 JEEP 4 DOOR WRANGLER (UNLIMITED) EXPERIENCED COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES WHILE COASTING UPHILL. I WAS APPROACHING US-221 FROM A SECONDARY ROAD TRAVELING UPHILL TOWARDS A STOP SIGN. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. I HAD NO BRAKES TO STOP AS I APPROACHED THIS BUSY HIGHWAY WHICH IS HEAVILY TRAVELED BY TRACTOR TRAILERS. I MANAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE JUST BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. THERE WAS NO STALL FROM THE ENGINE DURING THE WHOLE EVENT. IF I HAD NOT ACTED QUICKLY AND PANICKED IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE ME AND MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED OR POSSIBLE KILLED BY ENTERING THIS BUSY 55 MPH HIGHWAY. I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN THE ROAD AND HAD TO DIRECT TRAFFIC AROUND IT FOR 1-1/2 HOURS WHILE I WAITED FOR THE CHRYSLER'S TOW TRUCK. ONCE AGAIN THIS CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME AND PEOPLE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. VEHICLE IS AT DEALER HOWEVER DEALER STATES HE CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND IS WAITING FOR A REPLY FROM CHRYSLER ON WHAT TO DO. CHRYSLER STATED YESTERDAY ON 9-17-07 THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ITEM ON MY VEHICLE. NATIONAL NEWS STATES OTHERWISE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH TRUCK. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAD MY VEHICLE ELECTRICAL AND BRAKES CUT OUT 3 TIMES (ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE). I SPOKE TO A DEALERSHIP NEAR ME 3 TIMES AND ONE TIME THEY TRIED TO REPLICATE IT. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT. THROUGH SEARCHING ON THIS SITE, I FOUND THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A RECALL (G25-REPROGRAM TIPM-ENGINE STALL) TO FIX IT. THE DEALERSHIP PLAYED DUMB TO THE ISSUE UNTIL PROOF WAS SHOWN, BUT STILL WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE MY VIN# DID NOT MATCH RECALL SPECIFIC LIST. CHRYSLER ALSO WOULD NOT OK THEM TO FIX IT (REF#16730876) BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT VIN#, EVENTHOUGH IT IS THE RIGHT MODEL, YEAR, SYMPTOMS, ETC. CHRYSLER DID NOT CARE THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT IT COULD BE SOLVED. I WAS TOLD TO TRY TO REPLICATE IT FOR THE DEALERSHIP. CONCERNED FOR SAFETY, I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THEY INSTANTLY KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUE DESCRIBED AND REPROGRAMMED THE TIPM WITH NO CHARGE (THEY OBVIOUSLY UNDERSTOOD THE DANGER). CHRYSLER NEEDS TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL LIST AND CHANGE ITS POLICY ON SUCH A DANGEROUS SITUATION. LUCKILY THERE WAS SOME HUMANITY STILL AROUND AT THE PLACE WHERE I BOUGHT IT. *TR
