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

THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE KNEE BOLSTERS WERE NOT STANDARD FOR HIS VEHICLE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE AS IF IT WERE LOSING POWER AND ABOUT TO STALL. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED AND WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED A SECOND TIME AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:FLOOR SHIFT ASSEMBLY
THE 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN MY BRAND NEW 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED MAKES NOISE, AND VIBRATES HORRIBLY GOING OVER ROUGH ROADS! THE SHIFTER SLAMS BACK AND FORTH MAKING CONTACT WITH METAL UNDERCARRIAGE. THE DEALER SAYS THEY KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM BUT CHRYSLER CURRENTLY HAS NO FIX AND THAT IT CAN EVEN POP OUT OF GEAR OVER ROUGH TERRAIN-TERRIBLE DESIGN! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE NEGOTIATING A RIGHT HAND CURVE ON A LOCAL TOWN ROAD IN MY 07 JEEP WRANGLER X, 2-DR, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE ENGINE STALLED FOR APPROX. 2 SECONDS AND THEN RESTARTED ITSELF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING (I ASSUME) AS STEERING/CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH WITH NO PASSENGERS. THIS VEHICLE HAS A BUILD DATE OF 04/17/07 AND WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM A JEEP DEALER ON 07/02/07. THE VEHICLE HAD 4166 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. AFTER CHECKING DAIMLERCHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL G25, REPROGRAM TIPM - ENGINE STALLING DATED JULY 2007, I SEE THAT ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE EXACT SYMPTOMS LISTED, THE BUILD DATE OF MY VEHICLE FALLS OUTSIDE THE DATE LISTED IN THE RECALL (01-22-07). OBVIOUSLY THIS NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. THIS CAN ALSO BE VERIFIED VIA THE FOLLOWING INTERNET FORUM THREAD: "HTTP://WWW.JK-FORUM.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=2366" THIS FORUM INCLUDES QUITE A FEW OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE INCLUDING MANY THAT; 1) HAVE HAD THE RECALL PROCEDURE PERFORMED ALREADY; 2) HAVE A VEHICLE OUTSIDE OF THE SPECIFIED BUILD DATE; OR 3) ACTUALLY OWN A 2008 MODEL YEAR JEEP WRANGLER. IT SEEMS THE RECALL PROCEDURE OR "FIX" DOES NOT ACTUALLY CORRECT THIS ISSUE AND THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE LATER BUILD DATES. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING IN A SLOWER, LOW TRAFFIC, LESS HAZARDOUS SITUATION DURING MY FIRST INCIDENT BUT NOW I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THIS OCCURS AGAIN DURING FASTER, HIGHWAY USE OR IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WITH FAMILY MEMBERS/PASSENGERS THE OUTCOME COULD BE DISASTROUS. MY VEHICLE IS NEVER ABUSED AND WELL MAINTAINED. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF FURTHER DETAILS ARE REQUIRED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
ABS/ TRACTION CONTROL/ ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGES AT TIMES WHEN USING HIGHWAY ON/ OFF RAMPS AND WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES. VEHICLE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR THIS ISSUE BY UPDATING THE ABS CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE TO THE LATEST VERSION, BUT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. THE ABS MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND STAYS ILLUMINATED, BUT THE DEALER CAN FIND NO TROUBLE CODES. NOTE: THIS VEHICLE DID NOT FALL INTO CAMPAIGN 06V493000 AS THE ABS MODULE UNDER THE SCOPE OF THAT RECALL WAS INTRODUCED TWO DAYS AFTER THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING, ALL SEVERAL MONTHS APART, THE ELECTRICAL BOARD COMPLETELY LIGHTS UP AND LOSS OF POWER TO BRAKES AND STEERING FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL AND ENGINE IS RUNNING. THERE WAS NO WARNING. TWO OF THE INCIDENTS WERE UNDER BRAKING EXITING THE FREEWAY AND I ALMOST WENT INTO THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY I HAVE STRONG LEGS AND THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY. MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE SERVICE CENTER. WILL SEE WHAT THEY SAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH IT HAS AT LEAST HAD APPROXIMATELY 100 TIMES OF EXCESSIVE CRANK TIME. I FEAR IT MAY BE DESTROYING THE ENGINE OR ? I'VE ALSO HAD ONE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER CALL ME 'CRAZY' AND REPORTED THAT IT WAS NOT HAPPENING BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. AFTER HIS RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL REMARK, I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER SHIP WHO TREATED ME WITH RESPECT, BUT AGAIN, THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE EXCESSIVE CRANK. FINALLY ON A SECOND VISIT, THEY REPORTED THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. PROBLEM IS; THEY WANT ME TO WAIT AND HAVE STAR TECHS., TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT. I AM UPSET THAT THEY WON'T JUST TRADE THE JEEP! I AM PAYING BIG MONEY FOR A PIECE OF... (YOU KNOW WHAT!) IF THEY REFUSE TO TRADE, I WANT MY MONEY BACK. A NEW CAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES!! IT HAS DIED ON ME BUT ONLY ONCE AND I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. I HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THANK GOD THEY WERE ABLE TO FIGURE THAT ONE OUT!!

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
UNCONTROLLED REVERSE ROLLING / BRAKE FAILURE: 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED 4 DOOR MODEL. WHILE I'M SURE THAT NO ONE WILL WANT TO HEAR OF A VEHICLE TAKEN OFF-ROAD, THE RUBICON IS MARKETED & DESIGNED TO DO JUST SUCH ACTIVITIES AND DOES THEM EXTREMELY WELL. I HAVE OWNED AT LEAST 12 JEEP VEHICLES AND THIS ONE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOR IT'S CAPABILITIES. I LOVE IT & CAN'T SAY ENOUGH POSITIVE. PROBLEM: WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GO UP A STEEP HILL, IF YOU HAVE TO STOP AND ROLL BACK, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES 'STIFF' AND ALLOWS VEHICLE TO FREE ROLL BACKWARDS UNTIL YOU SMASH INTO SOMETHING WHICH MAKES IT STOP. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT IT'S HAPPENED 3 SEPARATE TIMES TO ME IN MY 900 MI I HAVE ON THE VEHICLE. THE PEDAL IS TOTALLY STIFF AND THE BRAKES WILL NOT APPLY. THIS MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED OVER THIS PAST WEEKEND AND I ALMOST RAN OVER TWO PEOPLE THAT WERE ON FOOT BEHIND THE VEHICLE AS I WAS ALLOWED TO ROLL UNCONTROLLED BACKWARDS UNTIL I SMASHED INTO A ROCK APPROX 30' FROM WHERE I WANTED TO STOP. THANKFULLY THE ROCK WAS LARGE ENOUGH TO STOP THE JEEP SINCE I WAS ON A PRETTY SERIOUS HILL AND NO CLUE HOW FAR I WOULD HAVE ROLLED UNTIL MOST CERTAINLY A TREE WOULD HAVE HAD TO STOPPED ME. IN THE STOPPING, I BROKE OFF A REAR SHOCK AS I HIT THE ROCK. I'VE BEEN DRIVING JEEP VEHICLES FOR OVER 25 YEARS. I CONSIDER MYSELF A VERY CAPABLE OFF-ROAD DRIVER AND VERY COMFORTABLE IN THE SITUATION & VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN IN THIS SAME OFF-ROAD SITUATION HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF TIMES. THESE 3 EVENTS ARE LIKE NOTHING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED EVER. TOTAL NON-USAGE OF THE BRAKES, PEDAL BECOMING STIFF AS A BOARD WITH NO GRABBING AT ALL. LETTING OFF AND ATTEMPTING TO HIT PEDAL DOESN'T ASSIST AT ALL. YOU'RE ON A WILD FREE ROLL RIDE BACKWARDS. VERY SCARY & DANGEROUS. CHANCES ARE, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PULL THE FUSE ON THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM SINCE IT'S TRULY GOING TO INJURE SOMEONE EITHER INSIDE MY JEEP OR ANYONE BEHIND ME SOONER OR LATER. *JB

STEERING
WE PURCHASED OUR 2005 JEEP WRANGLER X USED IN MAY OF 2006. THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT ABOVE 50 MPH, WE NOTICED A SERIOUS VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER, AND THEY TOOK IT TO A JEEP DEALER AND HAD THERE MECHANICS LOOK AT IT, AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AFTER TAKING IT BACK AND COMPLAINING AGAIN, THEY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE TIRES WERE BAD. THEY REPLACED THE TIRES. THAT SEEMED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR A LITTLE WHILE. SINCE THEN, WE NEVER TOOK THE VEHICLE ON HIGHWAYS OR ANY ROADS THAT YOU HAD TO TRAVEL ABOVE 50 MPH. WE JUST HAD IT INSPECTED IN JUNE OF 2007, AND IT PASSED WITH NO PROBLEMS. TWO DAYS AGO, WE HAD TO TRAVEL ON AN INTERESTATE THAT THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 65. WE NEVER MADE IT ABOVE 55. WE HAD TO BRAKE AND THE FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE SO BAD THAT WE ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I KNOW OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME YEAR JEEP. THERE IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM GOING ON WITH THESE VEHICLES. I JUST HOPE THAT SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS JEEP WILL NEVER SEE 55 MPH AGAIN UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. ALSO, NOW WE NOW WHY SOMEONE WOULD GET RID OF IT. IT ONLY HAS 29000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE AN 88 BRONCO II THAT I FEEL SAFER DRIVING THAN I DO THIS JEEP.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
WHILE DRIVING @ 55-60 MPH AND APPLYING THE BRAKES MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SHAKES LIKE IT IS GOING TO FALL APART. IT HAS LESS THAN 12000 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS THE 2ND PAIR OF ROTORS WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AROUND 3 MONTHS. NOW I'M TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT ITS MY DRIVING STYLE, THAT I SHOULD DOWN SHIFT TO MAKE IT EASIER ON THE BRAKES. WHICH I ALREADY DO DOWN SHIFT. THE REPAIR WAS TAKEN CARE OF FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE OF THE SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BETWEEN THE ROTOR CHANGES. BUT, THAT THE NEXT TIME I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT!! LET ME TELL YOU THAT I'M PISSED!!! THIS IS BULL &*$# AND I'M NOT GOING TO BE PUSHED OVER AND TOLD ITS THE WAY I DRIVE, WHEN ITS APPARENT THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. FUNNY, I DON'T NEED BRAKE PADS BUT THE ROTORS KEEP $%&IN' UP...A DEFECT OR WHAT. EXCUSE MY LANGUAGE BUT, I'M A 43 YEAR OLD WOMAN THAT DOESN'T WANT TO BE JERKED AROUND BY MY SERVICE DEPT. AND TOLD ITS MY DRIVING STYLE! I WANT SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT. I ONLY LEASE THIS VEHICLE AND IF I COULD GIVE IT BACK TODAY...I WOULD!!! I ALSO INTEND TO E-MAIL CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS ALSO.
