STRUCTURE:BODY
WATER LEAK: I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X UNLIMITED ON 06-26-10. ON 06-28-10 I WAS (OUT OF TOWN OF VACATION) DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM WHEN I NOTICED TO CARPETING IN THE BACK PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD WAS WET. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE WATER IS LEAKING FROM THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE RUNNING DOWN THE FRAME BETWEEN THE FRONT AND BACK DOORS ONTO THE FLOOR BOARD. UPON RETURNING HOME FROM VACATION I CONTACTED NUMBER 1 AUTO FROM WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I ADVISED THE SALESMAN OF THE WET CARPET AND A NON-FUNCTIONING CD PLAYER. AT THAT TIME HE SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT I JUST NEEDED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE MECHANIC. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP BACK 3 TIMES NOW FOR CONTINUE WATER IN THE REAR FLOOR BOARDS OF THE JEEP AFTER BEING IN RAIN. LAST NIGH (08-03-10)T, AFTER YET ANOTHER RAIN STORM, I REMOVED 2 QUARTS OF WATER FROM THE REAR DRIVERSIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARDS. TODAY (08-04-10) I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION WHO SAID, "IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY, IT'S UP TO YOU AS TO HOW YOU WANT TO PERCEIVE IT." I ADVISED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A MULTITUDE OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2007 MODEL JEEP WRANGLER BOTH HARD AND SOFT TOPS AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS OCCASIONS POSTED WHERE CHRYSLER HAD OFFERED TO BUY THE JEEP BACK OR REPLACE WITH A DIFFERENT CHRYSLER VEHICLE AS LONG AS IT WAS NOT ANOTHER JEEP WRANGLER. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE REPLIED, "I'VE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM." *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4X4 - 1. EVERYTIME I FILL GAS TANK, GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF TANK AT ME AND DOWN SIDE OF JEEP. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. 2.

VERY ODD, SCARY AND UNSAFE??? CAR IS AT DEALERSHIP, NO CLUE WHY THIS HAPPENED AT THIS TIME. DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO TAKE ENGINE APART AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $900.

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MILES PER HOUR AND HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING LIKE I HAD BLOWN A TIRE. I PULLED OVER, WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND DROVE AWAY. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WAS ADVISED STEERING STABILIZER WAS DEFECTIVE,TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, AFTER THAT ONLY TO DRIVE AWAY IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP. GOT TIRED OF FIGHTING WITH JEEP TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO I HAD TO GET THE PARTS AND FIX IT MYSELF, BUT I STILL HAVE THE OLD PARTS. IN ADDITION, DAMAGE TO THE TIRES DUE TO THE STEERING STABILIZER. ALSO DO TO THE FAULTY PART IT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TIRES AND THEY STILL NEED REPLACED. FAILURE MILEAGES WAS 46,695. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON (BUILT JANUARY 2007). WE BOUGHT IT USED IN THE MIDDLE OF MARCH 2010. EVER SINCE WE HAVE OWNED IT, WILE FUELING UP, ONCE THE TANK IS FULL GASOLINE WILL "BURP" OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME UNLESS I STOP EVERY FEW GALLONS TO LET IT SETTLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEARLY NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE READ OF MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I PURCHASED A 2007 4D JEEP WRANGLER ON 3/17/10. I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT AND DROVE IT ONLY ON ROADS (NOT OFF ROAD). IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 34,000 MILES ON IT AND NO DAMAGE HISTORY. IT WAS PRE-OWNED CERTIFIED. ON JUNE 27, 2010 IT STARTED TO HESITATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL DEALER. ON JUNE 29TH I WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALER PER APPOINTMENT AND IT LOST POWER. IT THEN BURST INTO FLAMES AND IS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION BUT HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME WITH A SOLUTION. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF THE SLIGHTEST BUMP IS HIT THE VEHICLE STARTS SHAKING INTO WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A "DEATH WOBBLE". THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS IS TO QUICKLY SLOW TO UNDER 15 MPH. MECHANIC REPLACED BALLJOINTS AND STEERING DAMPENER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. STEERING DAMPENER HAS BEEN MODIFIED BY CHRYSLER BECAUSE THEY KNOW OF THIS ISSUE. *TR
