AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON AND REMAINED ON. I HAVE ALWAYS FIGURED IT WAS JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHT. I WAS RECENTLY TOLD THAT IF THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON THE AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK. I DID NOT FIND ANY RECALLS REGARDING AIR BAGS BUT I SEE VARIOUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING AIR BAGS IN THE JEEP WRANGLER AND THIS CONCERNS ME. I AM PRINTING THESE COMPLAINTS AND BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER BEFORE SELLING IT. I WANT TO ASSURE THE SAFETY OF ANY FUTURE DRIVERS. *JB

2007 JEEP WRANGLER. HAS HAD THE ENGINE STALL ISSUE, IN FOR TSB ON THIS ISSUE-VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. DEALERSHIP THEN LATER SAID IT WAS STALLING DUE TO IGNITION SWITCH AFTER A FEW MORE STALLING INCIDENTS. THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH, THEN MANUFACTURER ISSUED A RECALL IN JULY FOR THIS ISSUE, THE RECALL WAS DONE. TODAY 9/27 THE EXACT STALL WHILE DRIVING HAPPENED AGAIN, VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHEN DRIVING, LOSING ALL POWER/LIGHTS/STEERING/BRAKES. *JB

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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING WELL UP UNTIL 10,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS GETTING 21-25 MILES PER GALLON AND HAD A LOT OF POWER. IN AUGUST OF 2007, HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V291000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND TOOK HIS VEHICLE IN TO BE REPAIRED. SINCE THE REPAIR WAS MADE, THE VEHICLE HAS BECOME SLUGGISH WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 5 AND 60 MPH, THE TIMING HAS SLOWED, THE VEHICLE HAS NO POWER AND STALLS WHEN IT SHOULD ACCELERATE, AND USES MORE FUEL (14-17 MPG). HE HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE; ONCE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AND ONCE DUE TO THE RESULTS OF THE REPAIR. THE DEALER FROM WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED STATED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG AND WOULD BE HIS RESPONSIBILITY. THE CONTACT WOULD LIKE HIS VEHICLE RESTORED TO THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,400 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. UPDATED 11/06/07. *JB

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BOUGHT MY 2005 JEEP UNLIMITED WITH 6,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVEN TIMES TO HAVE IT FIXED. MY MAJOR COMPLAINT IS IT SURGES OUT OF CONTROL WHEN TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKES FROM A STOPPED POSITION. IT DOES IT IN DRIVE AND IN REVERSE WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO SOLUTION. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING ONCE I HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD,AS SMALL AS THE REFLECTORS THAT LINE THE MIDDLE OF STREETS. THERE ARE TIMES THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES SO HARD THAT I HAVE TO LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THEY HAVE REPLACED MY STEERING STABILIZER ARM,I'VE HAD THE ROTORS TURNED I'VE REPLACED THE BRAKES.REPLACING THE STABILIZER ARM SEEMED TO HELP FOR A SHORT TIME. MY OTHER ISSUE WITH THIS LOVLEY DEATH TRAP OF MINE IS WHEN I RUN THE A/C THE WHOLE THING BOGS DOWN LIKE I'M PULLING AN EIGHTEEN WHEELER OUT OF A DITCH. THE DEALERSHIP SOLUTION WAS TO COME IN AND TEST DRIVE ANOTHER JEEP TO SEE IF I "ACTUALLY HAVE A PROBLEM". WHEN I TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY KEEP IT FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS AND THE PROBLEMS ARE STILL THERE.MY ADVICE TO OTHER JEEP OWNERS WITH THESE PROBLEMS IS TO ALWAYS TAKE THE BACK ROADS AND ALWAYS LEAVE A CAR LENGTH OF SPACE ALL THE WAY AROUND YOUR JEEP, AND NEVER USE THE A/C!THESE PROBLEMS BEGAN AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES AND MY JEEP JUST ROLLED OVER32,000 MILES. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP, THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES. WHEN SHE RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD AS IF SHE SLAMMED HER FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. SHE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE FAILURE HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR CRASHES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY SEVEN TIMES, HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THEY ARE CURRENTLY ADVISING HER TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE, BUT SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE. THE SPEED AND POWERTRAIN WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC GETTING ON THE FREEWAY, MY ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUT AS I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER SEEM TO LOCK UP AS THE VEHICLE QUITS RESPONDING TO DRIVER COMMANDS. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE FIRST 1000 MILES SINCE BEING PURCHASED. THE DEALER CANNOT SEEM TO DUPLICATE THIS DISCREPANCY. THIS VEHICLE IS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DR 4X4. *JB

MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. WATER PUMP LEAKED - FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, GAS TANK SEAL LEAKED - FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, SEATS RIPPED - FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, SUCTION CUP MARKS ON WINDOW - FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, FRONT STABILIZER SHOCK LEAKED - FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, REAR WINDOW SEAL LEAKED - REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY TWO TIMES AND STILL LEAKS, INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILS - OUT OF WARRANTY NOT REPAIRED, RADIATOR FAILED - OUT OF WARRANTY FIXED AT MY COST, STABILIZER ARM FAILED BOTH SIDES TWICE - FIXED UNDER WARRANTY ONCE AND THE OUT OF WARRANTY FIXED AT MY COST, EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILED - OUT OF WARRANTY - FIXED AT MY COST, CLUTCH FORK FAILED - OUT OF WARRANTY FIXED AT MY COST, LEAK UNDER THE DASH BOARD PASSENGER SIDE - FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. OF ALL THE PROBLEMS ABOVE... LOSS OF INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER REGARDLESS OF IN OR OUT OF WARRANTY. LOSS OF GAUGES IS A DRIVING DISTRACTION AND CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. JEEP NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS LONG AS THIS VEHICLE IS ON THE ROAD. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I PURCHASED MY JEEP WRANGLER IN JULY OF 2005 BRAND NEW. IN JULY OF 2005 I STARTED EXPERIENCING A VIBRATING WHEN BRAKING AT SPEEDS OF 45MPH AND ABOVE. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A LOCAL TECHNICIAN WHO SAID IF HE HAD TO GUESS HE WOULD ASSUME THE ROTORS HAD 50,000 MILES ON THEM. THE FUNNY THING IS THE ONLY HAVE HALF OF THAT AT 25,000 MILES. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS ARE CLAIMING THAT THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THE BRAKES AND THE RECENT RECALL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WRANGLER AND/OR WRANGLER UNLIMITED MODELS, STATING IT ONLY APPLIES TO THE GRAND CHEROKEE EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS. *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
