POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE JUMPS OUT OF GEAR OFTEN WHEN BEGINNING ACCELERATION WHILE IN FIRST GEAR AND SOMETIMES WHEN TURNING WHILE IN THIRD GEAR. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT. IT COULD HAVE PARTICULARLY DEADLY CONSEQUENCES WHEN STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP AND PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR TURNING IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC (OF COURSE WHEN GIVEN PLENTY OF TIME AND SPACE AND YIELDING OF RIGHT OF WAY TO OTHER VEHICLES), IF IT WERE TO LEAVE YOU STOPPED ALL OF A SUDDEN AFTER POPPING OUT OF GEAR. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THAT JEEP AND DEALERSHIPS DENY THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WHEN IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A DECADE NOW WITH NO OFFICIAL FIX OR RECALL. WE'VE "LEARNED" TO DRIVE IT WITH THIS DYSFUNCTION, BUT THIS SHOULD BE LEADING TO WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUITS IF IT EVER CAUSED SUCH.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, STEERING
THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY MY CAR DIED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD RAN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS ON. I FILLED UP WITH THE GAS CAN AND THE JEEP DID NOT START. I TRIED TO JUMP IT USING CABLES AND IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY, THE JEEP STARTED AFTER THAT. YESTERDAY I GOT AN OIL CHANGE, THEY CHECKED MY BATTERY AND SHOWED ME THE OIL AFTER THE CHANGE, SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOLDEN. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME WHEN MY BATTERY LIGHT POPPED ON AGAIN, I KIND OF SHOOK IT OFF CONSIDERING I JUST REPLACED IT. WELL MY CAR JERKED ME FORWARD, EVERY SINGLE LIGHT TURNED ON AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGH WAY AS MUCH AS I COULD AND MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I GOT IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THE ISSUE WAS MY "TIPM" AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GET IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. AS I GOOGLED WHAT THAT WAS REGARDING MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO FOR MY JEEP SPECIFICALLY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND PUT ITSELF INTO LIMP MODE UPON DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A 3 WEEK PERIOD. OBD-II THREW CODES PERTAINING TO FAILING SENSORS IN EGR, CAMSHAFT AND ACCELERATION PEDAL. READ MANY ONLINE FORUMS ABOUT OTHER WITH JEEP AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVING FAULTY TIPM UNITS. MY CAR WILL NOW NOT RUN WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE IT'S BEING STARVED OF FUEL. I FEAR THE BAD TIPM MAY HAVE ALSO CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO GO BAD. CHRYSLER WAS LESS THAN HELPING IN SUGGESTING I BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND WAS TOLD MY WARRANTY (IF I EVEN HAD ONE STILL VALID) COULD BE VOIDED FOR BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A SHOP MY FRIEND OWNS FOR THE REPAIRS INSTEAD OF A DEALERSHIP. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED IT TWO YEARS AGO. I'M IN THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN NON ROUTINE REPAIRS AND OWE TOO MUCH ON IT TO WALK AWAY FROM IT. IT'S MY DAILY DRIVER AND HAVE NO OTHER VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK OR AROUND.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT MY JEEP 12/12/16 AND IT HAD 43,319 MILES ON IT. ON 2/7/17 AT 45,233 MILES I HAD THE FIRST ENGINE REPLACEMENT DONE. ON 5/17/17 AT 46,552 MILES I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. ON 11/1/18 AT 65,858 MILES I HAD THE SECOND ENGINE REPLACEMENT. ON 3/8/19 AT 68,980 MILES I HAD THE THIRD REPLACEMENT ENGINE INSTALLED. I GOT MY JEEP BACK ON 4/15/19 AND NOW I HEAR A TICKING LIKE SOUND AND I'M TOLD IT COULD BE AN EXHAUST LEAK. ALSO, BEFORE I GOT THE THIRD ENGINE INSTALLED THE JEEP WOULD POP OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHEN I START TO ACCELERATE, JUST LIKE BEFORE. I TALKED TO THE MECHANIC WHO REBUILT MY TRANSMISSION AND HE SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. HE SAID HE COULD FIX IT, BUT EVENTUALLY IT WILL START POPPING OUT OF FIRST GEAR AGAIN.

STEERING, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
MY JEEP IS EXPERIENCING THE "DEATH WOBBLE". IT ALMOST TURNED OVER ON I-85 OUTSIDE OF ATLANTA. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT 55MPH AND THERE WAS A SMALL DIP IN THE ROAD. THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. SHE COULD HARDLY CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL OR THE JEEP. WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH (ALMOST REAR ENDED TWICE) AND PULL OVER. THIS IS NOT ISOLATED. WE HAD THE JEEP IN FOR REPAIRS BEFORE AND EVERYTHING LISTED FOR REPAIR OF THE DEATH WOBBLE REPLACED. IT IS DOING IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU NEED TO RECALL THESE JEEPS AND MAKE CHRYSLER FIX THEM BEFORE SOMEONE LIKE MY 23 YEAR OLD DIES!!!!!!!!!!!!1
