ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I BOUGHT A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (4) DOOR UNLIMITED RUBICON. I DID NOT HAVE MORE THAN 150 MILES ON IT BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD STALL WHILE MAKING A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. I WENT ON A VACATION WITH ABOUT 1000 MILES ON IT. I PARKED THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT A 15 TO 20 DEGREE ANGLE; FRONT FACING DOWN. THE GAS TANK WAS 1/2 FULL, AND I LEFT THE VEHICLE RUNNING FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN (STOPPED) RUNNING. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENGINE BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I CHECKED ALL THE GAUGES AND THERE WERE NO BLOWN FUSES. I CHECKED THE GAS GAGE AND IT READ THAT THERE WAS NO GAS IN THE TANK. BECAUSE I WAS ON A COUNTY ROAD, IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, I WINCHED THE VEHICLE TO A LEVEL PLANE. I STARTED THE ENGINE ON THE SECOND TRY. AFTER A VERY HIGH REV CYCLE, THE GAS GAUGE AGAIN SHOWED THE GAS TANK BEING 1/2 FULL. WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING, AND COMPLETELY STOPPING ON A HILL, THIS COULD BE A LIFE ENDING SITUATION IN THE FUTURE WHILE IN AN INTERSECTION OR GOING DOWN A HILL. THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 11-25-2007. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH RECALL FOR BRAKE FAILURE. CONSUMER STATES THAT HE FINALLY RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE FAULTY BRAKES. HE WOULD LIKE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE BRAKE REPAIR SINCE HIS WAS FIXED BEFORE THE RECALL WAS SENT OUT. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE HE WAS IN 4-WHEEL DRIVE, LOW RANGE OVER THE TOP OF A SMALL RISE. WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, NOTHING HAPPENED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE SMALL DOWN SLOPE CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO SPEED UP AND HIT A LOW SET OF ROCKS AND HARD DIRT. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL COVER WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE HAD EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AXLE AND SURROUNDING PARTS. RECALL # 07V434000 NO POLICE REPORT MENTIONED. *JB

SUSPENSION:FRONT
WHEN TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH MY JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY THROWING ME TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE HIT BY NEARBY CARS AND TRACTOR TRAILER. I HAD TO BE TOWED OFF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER TO COME AND PICK IT UP THE FOLLOWING DAY. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND TO TAKE IT HOME. WITHIN 1 WK OF HAVING THE VEHICLE BACK THE SHAKING OCCURRED AGAIN, THIS TIME LUCKILY AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. AFTER SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES THE SHAKING STOPPED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THIS TIME THEY " "RE-TORQUED" THE FRONT END TO CHRYSLER SPECS". I DROVE IT HOME AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN DAYS. THIS TIME THE SHOP FORMAN SAID THAT HE WAS NOT GOING TO TOUCH THE JEEP BUT WOULD BE MAKING A CALL TO CHRYSLER. WE TOOK IT ON A TEST DRIVE TO TRY AND REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE HE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I LEFT IT WITH HIM, HE CALLED CHRYSLER AND TOLD ME TO COME AND PICK IT UP. I CAME AND PICKED UP THE JEEP WITHOUT ANYTHING BEING DONE TO IT. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND SAID THAT THEY HAD SOMEONE FROM CHRYSLER COMING IN TO LOOK AT THE JEEP. I BROUGHT IT BACK AGAIN (4TH TIME), I WAS TOLD THAT THE PERSON FROM CHRYSLER REPLACED THE STEERING. I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A NEW PART. I HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN TO THE EXTENT THAT IT HAPPENED THE FIRST FEW TIMES BUT IF I HIT EVEN THE SMALLEST OF BUMPS THE FRONT END "BOUNCES" (COMPARED TO SHAKING VIOLENTLY) UNTIL I BRAKE. I AM TOTALLY PETRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND I WILL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES LET MY CHILDREN RIDE IN IT. I WILL NOT TAKE IT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT A RATE OF SPEED FASTER THAN 30MPH. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TAKES A MINIMUM OF FOUR MEN TO REMOVE THE HARD TOP (FREEDOM TOP) FROM THE VEHICLE. THE TOP LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WASHED. DAIMLER CHRYSLER STATED THAT IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE INSPECTED, THE HARD TOP WOULD HAVE TO BE PLACED BACK ON THE VEHICLE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DO SO, THE TOP BECAME TOO HEAVY AND WAS DROPPED, RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 4,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON NOVEMBER 19, 2007 AS I WAS REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT A RESTAURANT, I NOTICED THAT MY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING AND QUICKLY NOTICED A RED DOT LIGHT ABOVE MY FUEL GAUGE. I HAD TO PULL MY PARKING BRAKE IN ORDER TO AVOID ROLLING ANY FURTHER. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO START MY CAR AGAIN. INITIALLY, SEVERAL LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE MOTOR SEEMED TO RESPOND TO TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. HOWEVER, AFTER EACH ATTEMPT, THE ENGINE CUT OFF AFTER A FEW QUICK SECONDS. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AT ALL TO TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED. I WAS ACTUALLY JUST A MILE DOWN THE ROAD FROM JUST PICKING UP MY JEEP FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT HAD BEEN SERVICED FOR THE PAST 8 DAYS FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I HAD LITERALLY JUST PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AFTER BEING TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS FINALLY RESOLVED. THE ACTUAL RECEIPT FROM THE SERVICE SHOP SHOWS THAT 0.2 HOURS WERE SPENT ON FIXING THE ISSUE WHICH INVOLVED THE WCM MODULE. THE 8 DAYS WHERE IT SAT AT THE DEALERSHIP CONSISTED OF 2 DAYS OF NO DIAGNOSIS, ESSENTIALLY JUST SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP; 1 DAY WHEN THE WCM MODULE WAS ORDERED AFTER DIAGNOSIS; AND THE REST OF THE TIME SPENT WAITING FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE AND PLACED ON THE CAR. THE FIRST STALL OCCURRED IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIENDS IN THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO JUST MOVE THE KIDS INTO THE HOUSE WITH NO REAL SAFETY INCIDENT. HOWEVER, THIS SECOND INCIDENT LED TO ME ROLLING INTO PARKING LOT TRAFFIC AND TOWARDS THE RESTAURANT SIDEWALK AND BUILDING. THE PARKING SPACE WAS AT AN INCLINE WHICH ALLOWED THE STALLED OUT CAR TO GAIN MOMENTUM AS IT ROLLED BACKWARD. FORTUNATELY SINCE THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT I QUICKLY REALIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE PARKING BRAKE. HOWEVER I DID WIND UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT BLOCKING TRAFFIC IN AND OUT OF THE LOT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:FLOOR SHIFT
I COULD NOT SHIFT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO PARK. THE SHIFTER WOULD GET STUCK IN REVERSE, RESULTING IN ME INADVERTENTLY MOVING BACKWARDS WHEN TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE- A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, WAITED AND THEN WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK. THE NEXT DAY I ALSO COULD NOT SHIFT DOWN FROM PARK INTO GEAR. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER IN JEFFERSONVILLE IN, THEY SAID THE SHIFTER WAS BAD AND REPLACE IT AT A COST OF $ 325 TO ME. AFTER DRIVING FOR A DAY I NOTICE THAT I DID NOT NEED TO PRESS THE BRAKE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID "SORRY"....AND FIX IT BUT THE INDICATOR STILL IS NOT RIGHT BUT I DON'T TRUST THEM. IT SEEMS LIKE JEEP HAS 2 MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEMS WITH THE 2004 WRANGLER. THE DEATH WOBBLE AND THE SHIFTER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
I HAVE A WRANGLER BUILT IN 9/06 AND PURCHASED IN 11/06. IT HAS A STALLING ISSUE WHILE DRIVING, IT HAS HAD ALL THE RECALLS AND FLASHES DONE TO THE COMPUTER AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH STATING THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE STALLING. I HAVE ALSO FILED 2 OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ORG. ON THIS..#10192506 ON 6/5 AND #10204419 ON 9/28. WHILE DRIVING TONIGHT AT A STEADY 70 MPH. THE ENGINE CUT OUT, STALLED THEN RE-STARTED ! LUCKILY MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS NOT IN THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WENT IN FOR THE LAST RECALL ON THIS, AND THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS STALLED SINCE THE "FIX" AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY...I THINK ANYONE WOULD BELIEVE A VEHICLE STALLING AND LOSING LIGHTS AT NIGHT DOING @70MPH IS VERY DANGEROUS. ALL I WANT IS A VEHICLE THAT I CAN DEPEND ON, I WILL STATE AGAIN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND THE ENGINE IS STILL STALLING WHILE DRIVING, AND THIS IS THE 3RD TIME SINCE THE MANUFACTURES RECALL COMPUTER "FLASH FIX" . I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME HELP! *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED. INTERNET GOOGLE SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHICH, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A KNOWN MECHANICAL FAILURE WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. NUMEROUS REPORTS OF MULTIPLE FAILURES ON THE SAME JEEP VEHICLE. *TR

TIRES:VALVE, TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL, TIRES:TREAD/BELT, TIRES:TUBE
I OWN A 2006 JEEP WRANGLER X WITH 9,060 MILES. I HAVE GOODYEAR GS-A TIRES. I AM REPLACING MY SECOND TIRE ON THE JEEP IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. THIS TIRE HAS A "SIDEWALL FAILURE" AND MUST BE REPLACED. I ALSO HAVE OWNED A 2001 JEEP WRANGLER. I PUT 24,000 MILES ON THAT CAR BUT HAD TO REPLACE 3 GOODYEAR TIRES SIMILAR TO THE GS-A'S. THE LATEST INCIDENT INVOLVING MY JEEP AND GOODYEAR TIRES TRANSPIRED TWO DAYS AGO. I NOTICED THE TIRE WAS LOSING AIR BEFORE I GOT BEHIND THE WHEEL. CONSIDERING I WAS ABOUT TO DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY, IT MAY HAVE BEEN RECIPE FOR DISASTER. I PUT AIR BACK INTO THE TIRE AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO A SEARS AUTOMOTIVE CENTER. THE MECHANICS INFORMED ME THAT THE TIRE HAD A "SIDEWALL FAILURE" AND WAS UNFIXABLE. SEARS DID STATE THAT THE TIRES HAD LITTLE TO NO WEAR ON THEM AND WERE "LIKE NEW". I CONTACTED GOODYEAR PERTAINING TO THE ISSUES. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WAS NOT ENTIRELY HELPFUL. I GAVE MY HISTORY WITH THE GOODYEAR TIRES AND THE JEEP WRANGLER TO GOODYEAR. I WAS TOLD TO SEEK A SECOND OPINION BY GOODYEAR. I HAD ANOTHER GOODYEAR RETAILER LOOK AT THE TIRE WITH THE SAME RESULT. I CONTACTED GOODYEAR AGAIN. GOODYEAR WAS QUITE UNHELPFUL AND I FELT "BLOWN OFF". I SINCERELY HAVE A CONCERN THAT EVERY TIME I GET IN MY JEEP ONE OF MY TIRES MAY BECOME DAMAGED. JEEP WRANGLERS ARE AN SUV, SO THE CHANCES OF ROLLOVER ARE HIGHER. THE FIRST TIRE THAT WENT ON MY CURRENT 2006 JEEP WRANGLER ALMOST CASED ME TO SPIN OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. THAT INCIDENT TRANSPIRED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2006. I AM HOPING THAT THIS COMPLAINT WILL INSPIRE SOME SORT OF INVESTIGATION INTO THE PRODUCT, GOODYEAR DID NOT SEEM INTERESTED IN DOING SO. EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK THERE ARE JEEP WRANGLERS ON THE ROAD, MANY OF THEM WITH THESE SAME GOODYEAR GS-A TIRES. THAT IS A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE POTENTIALLY AT RISK, ALONG WITH THOSE WHO MAY BE TRAVELING AT THE SAME TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, I HONESTLY HOPE THIS CAN BE ADDRESSED AND APPROACHED FOR THE POTENTIALLY SERIOUS MANNER THAT IT IS. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
HOOD POPS UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DUE TO INADEQUATE, UNSAFE RUBBER HOOD LATCHES. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TWO RUBBER HOOD STRAPS ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE HOOD CLOSED. ON TWO LANE ROADS, THE AIR TURBULENCE FROM LARGE ONCOMING VEHICLES WILL CAUSE THE HOOD TO LIFT APPROXIMATELY TWO INCHES UNTIL THE SAFETY LATCH ENGAGES. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS DISTRACTION WHEN THE HOOD RISES AND THEN SLAMS DOWN AFTER THE ONCOMING VEHICLE PASSES. *TR
