SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
IN AUG OF 2005 AT 10,000 MILES I NOTICED A SHUDDER IN THE FRONT END WHEN STOPPING PROCEEDED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY ROTORS NEEDED RESURFACING WHICH THEY DID FOR FREE IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY . WITHIN A YEAR IT BEGAN AGAIN SUMMER OF 2006 WITH 35,000 MILES TOTAL ON THE VEHICLE THE ROTORS AND PADS HAD TO BE REPLACED AS THE SHUDDER WHEN STOPPING OVER 45 MPH BEGAN AGAIN MY ROTORS WERE WARPED OF COURSE THE WARRANTY IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AFTER 12,000 MILES. NOW ONCE AGAIN AUGUST 2007 I JUST HAD THE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED AGAIN AT 60,000 MILES . *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4 DR X UNLIMITED 4WD. I SAW THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THE VEHICLES STALLING MANUFACTURED BEFORE JAN 2007. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED I BELIEVE IN MAY OF 2007 AND THE STALL HAS HAPPENED TWICE. RADIO GOES OFF, ENGINE DIED AND ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON AND APPEARED TO RESET. IT'S A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED BECAUSE I WAS MOVING AND STILL IN GEAR. IT ONLY LASTS ABOUT 2 SECONDS BUT DURING THE TIME IT IS DOING THIS THE POWER STEERING IS NOT FUNCTIONAL.(I ONLY KNOW THIS BECAUSE I WAS ON A CURVED FREEWAY ON RAMP DURING ONE OF THE TIMES IT DID THIS.) I AM ONLY FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT APPEARS THE RECALL (G25 I BELIEVE) DOES NOT SEEM TO COVER THE FULL RANGE OF DATES FOR AFFECTED VEHICLES AS MINE WAS MANUFACTURED IN MAY OF 2007. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE TRAVELING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, AS I WAS ASCENDING A TURN ON A STEEP GRADE, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED FROM 4TH TO 2ND GEAR ABRUPTLY. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE ESP LIGHT ON THE DASH LIT UP AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG. I RE-STARTED THE ENGINE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM THE TRIP AND THEY CHECKED THE ECU AND NO WARNINGS CAME UP. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY BRAND NEW 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA, AFTER ONLY 8 DAYS AND 499 MILES STALLED TODAY WHILE DRIVING. IT ACTUALLY STALLED 6 TIMES TOTAL WITHING A 2 MILE TRIP HOME. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE, THE RADIO WENT OUT AND THE ENGINE STALLED, TAKING THE POWER BRAKES AND STEERING WITH IT. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART, JUST CLICKED. AFTER WAITING 5 MINUTES OR SO, THE ENGINE TURNED OVER, ONLY TO STALL WITHIN A HALF MILE AND THE PROCESS REPEATED ITSELF 4 TIMES AFTER THAT. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AND THE CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP. I AM AFRAID THAT CHRYSLER DID NOT INFACT TAKE CARE OF THE STALLING RECALL OF LAST MODEL YEAR(2007) AND THAT THE NEW MODEL YEAR IS AFFECTED WITH THIS STALL BUG AS WELL. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENED I WAS DOING A WHOPPING 5 MPH, I AM CONCERNED IT COULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CAUSE GREAT INJURY TO ME OR MY WIFE OR OTHERS. I ASK YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND/OR KEEP IT ON RECORD FOR FUTURE NOTICES TO POTENTIALLY RECALL OTHER WRANGLERS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME ON THIS MATTER. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. *TR

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:ELECTRICAL HEATING ELEMENT
MY WIFE AND I WERE ON A TRIP IN OUR 2006 WRANGLER (WITH 10,802 MILES ON IT),IT WAS VERY COLD THIS NIGHT AND WINDOWS WERE FOGGING UP. WE TURNED ON THE DEFROSTER FOR THE FIRST TIME AND WITHIN A MINUTE OUR WINDSHIELD CRACKED. I CALLED OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THIS ITEM AND I HAD TO PAY THEM TO REPLACE MY WINDOW. I LATER FOUND OUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. 12 MONTH OR 12,000 MILES. I THINK THEY MIGHT HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE WIT THIS SO MORE PEOPLE NEED TO COMPLAIN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
WIRING OVERHEATING AND MELTING BLOWER MOTOR FAN SWITCH AT 36,500 MILES. WIRING OVERHEATING AND MELTING MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH FOR TURN SIGNALS, HEADLAMPS, HAZARDS, ETC... AT 37,800 MILES. UNKNOWN CAUSE FOR EITHER FAILURE. REPLACED BLOWER MOTOR CONTROL SWITCH ASSEMBLY AFTER FAILURE MYSELF AS IT WAS ONLY $25 USD AND 10 MINUTES TIME. NOW THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH IS DOING THE SAME - MELTING AND CAUSING HEADLAMPS TO FAIL. IS THERE A VOLTAGE CONTROL PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS TO CAUSE THESE FAILURES? WILL THE REPLACED PARTS FAIL AGAIN? WILL A FIRE RESULT THE NEXT TIME? *TR UPDATED 02-01-08 *BF UPDATED 02/01/08 *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY JEEP HAS STALLED ON ME THREE TIMES TOTAL IN ABOUT 9 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. EACH TIME, I HAVE BEEN ON A ROAD TRIP AND DRIVING FOR AN EXTENSIVE PERIOD OF TIME. THE RADIO GOES OUT, THE JEEP SHUTS OFF, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON AND WITHIN ABOUT 3 SECONDS IT TURNS ITSELF ON AGAIN. I AM TAKING IT IN FOR SERVICE TO HAVE THE TIPM REPROGRAMMED WHICH I HOPE WILL CORRECT THE SITUATION. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE DASH GAUGES FAIL (1999 JEEP TJ) TO OPERATE AS THEY SHOULD INCLUDING THE SPEEDODOMETER AND TACH. CHYRSLER, IN ITS FIRST TSB CONCERNING THE ISSUE SAYS THE REPAIR WAS CARRIED OUT BY DRILLING NEW PILOT HOLES FOR GROUND SCREWS. HOWEVER THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND IN A SUBSEQUENT TSB THEY SAY THE PROBLEM IS NOW CAUSED BY RUST INSIDE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CONNECTOR. HOWEVER I HAVE NOT FOLLOWED THRU ON THE ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE COST INVOLVED IN MAKING THE REPAIR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL INTERMITTENTLY GO OUT, LEAVING NO SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, OR RPM GAGE. THIS CAN GO OUT FOR SEVERAL MILES, OR JUST BLINK ON AND OFF. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, AND HAVE ALREADY ATTEMPTED TO HAVE IT FIXED ONCE BY A DEALERSHIP AND SEVERAL TIMES WITH MY SON WORKING ON IT. SO FAR NOTHING HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN FIRST BROUGHT TO THEM ABOUT 2 1/2 YEARS AGO BUT COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. BEING ON THE COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAMS, I NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LONG CRANK/START AND LOW ENGINE IDLE (NEAR STALLING). DEALER SAID THEY FIXED (AT 300 MILES, BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS AFTER BEING IN SHOP ONE WEEK AGO (TOTAL OF 900 MILES). CHRYSLER CORP IS NOT INTERESTED IN TELLING CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS BEFORE YOU BUY. THEY SELL YOU THE VEHICLE AND GET YOUR MONEY, THEN TRY TO FIX, BUT THEY HAVE MY MONEY NOW AND COULD CARE LESS. *JB
