MY JEEP WRANGLER HAS HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE, ISSUES WITH THE SAFETY BELTS NOT RETRACTING PROPERLY [BROKE MY HAND] HAD STALLING AND SUSPENSION PROBLEMS, I CURRENTLY HAVE A CHIP ON THE BOTTOM UNDERSIDE OF THE WINSHIELD., WHEN I HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE THE DEALER TOLD ME I HAD TO MUCH WEIGHT ON THE FRONT END FROM MY BUMPER AND WINCH,[I REPLACED THE STABILIZER WOBBLE SEEMS TO HAVE WENT AWAY] THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE WOBBLE OR SEAT BELTS. IT WAS MY IMAGINATION, WHAT I ALSO HAD AND IS DOCUMENTED IN THE DEALER FILES MY ACCELERATOR STUCK , I WAS FORTUNATE SOME ONE ELSE WAS DRIVING SO I COULD SEE HIS FEET AND THE FLOOR MATS NOTHING WAS STUCK WHEN HE STOMPED ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WAS JUST LIKE THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGED , MY JEEP DOESN'T HAVE CRUISE CONTROL. THE BRAKES SCARE ME AT TIMES, FEEL LIKE THEIR NOT THERE FROM TIME TO TIME, I TELL WHO EVER DRIVES IT NOT TO TRUST THE BRAKES, THIS IS MY LAST NEW CHRYSLER, MY HAND STILL HURTS. MAYBE OUR GOVERMENT SHOULD FORCE A RECALL LIKE THEY DID TO TOYOTA TO DATE MY JEEP HAS ONLY 22.000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER . GOOD LUCK ALL

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA FRONT ENDS SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS IS TRIGGERED BY HITTING A BUMP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CANNOT BE STOPPED WITHOUT SLOWING THE VEHICLE TO A NEAR STOP. THIS IS MORE THAN A "SHIMMY" AND HAS BEEN APPROPRIATELY TERMED THE "DEATH WOBBLE". THIS CAN CAUSE A FATAL CRASH. IT OCCURS ROUGHLY EVERY 5,000 MILES AFTER THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED VARIOUS PARTS INVOLVED WITH STEERING. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR 6 OR 7 TIMES NOW. I HAVE REPLACED STEERING DAMPENERS AND STABALIZER BARS NUMEROUS TIMES. TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND ROAD FORCE BALANCED.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THE CHRYSLER GROUP LLC AND MIDWAY JEEP CHRYSLER LOCATED AT 777 CAMINO DEL RIO SOUTH IN SAN DIEGO, CA ARE COLLUDING THE DENY CONSUMER RIGHTS AFFORDED ME UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL LAW, BREACH OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND VIOLATION OF STATE AND FEDERAL CLEAN VEHICLE EMISSION REGULATIONS. I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X ON APRIL 13TH, 2007. SINCE THEN, I HAVE TO ADD 6 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE VEHICLES WARRANTY. AFTER CURSORY EXAMINATION THAT INCLUDED VISUALLY CHECKING THE DIP STICK, VISUALLY CHECKING THE SPARK PLUGS, PVC, AND CVC VALVES, I WAS TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR MIDWAY JEEP CHRYSLER STATED THAT USING 6 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES IS PERFECTLY NORMAL AND MIDWAY JEEP NOR CHRYSLER WILL NOT PERFORM ANY OTHER INVESTIGATIVE DIAGNOSTICS, NOR MAKE ANY REPAIRS TO VEHICLE. THEY APPEAR TO BE COLLUDING TO 'RUN OUT THE CLOCK' FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRES ON APRIL 12TH, 2010. AFTER CONSULTING AUTOMOTIVE EXPERTS AND TECHNICIANS, WHICH I HIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE, HAVE BEEN UNANIMOUS IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS THAT THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS SERIOUS INTERNAL MECHANICAL ISSUES AND THE ENGINE WILL FAIL. FURTHER MORE, THE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING CONSUMED IS DESTROYING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, OXYGEN SENSORS AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS WILL RENDER THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW AND REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL REPAIRS AT GREAT COST. *TR

STEERING
ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AS WE WERE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY JEEP STARTED TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AS WE HIT A BUMP GOING ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR. IT FELT LIKE WE HAD A FLAT TIRE SO WE QUICKLY PULLED OVER. WE CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SINCE IT CONTINUED TO DRIVE FINE, WE DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT IT. THREE WEEKS LATER, DRIVING AGAIN ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED, THIS TIME MUCH WORSE. THE VEHICLES SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY I HAD A HARD TIME CONTROLLING IT. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY SCARY BECAUSE THE ROADS WERE WET. LUCKILY, WE WERE SEAT BELTED IN, BUT MY POOR DOG GOT TOSSED AROUND LIKE A SALAD. SHAKING, AND VERY UPSET, WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN TWO MORE TIMES. THE NEXT DAY WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO OUR MECHANIC. ALTHOUGH HE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING AT FIRST, WE DID SOME RESEARCH. WE WENT TO THE INTERNET AND TYPED IN THE SEARCH 'JEEP VIOLENTLY SHAKES.' WE WERE QUITE SURPRISED AND SHOCKED WITH WHAT WE FOUND. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR YEARS WITH JEEP. IT HAS EVEN BEEN TERMED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' BECAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS. WE FOUND THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM DATING ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE EARLY 90'S. WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS, JEEP HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON 2007 MODELS BUT APPARENTLY WILL GLADLY CHARGE THEIR CUSTOMERS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX PARTS THAT MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE MAIN PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE WITH THE STEERING DAMPER. THE DAMPER IS TOO SMALL. ALTHOUGH JEEP WON'T OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZE THIS AS A PROBLEM, IT HAS BEEN FIXED WITH THE 2010 MODELS BY PUTTING IN A LARGER DAMPER. WHEN I CALLED A FEW DEALERSHIPS TO FIND THE PART, I WAS TOLD THE DAMPER DOESN'T EXIST IN MY MODEL. I WAS ABLE TO FIND A 2010 DAMPER AND HAD MY MECHANIC PUT IT IN MY VEHICLE. THE ONE THAT HE REPLACED WAS NOT ONLY TWICE THE SIZE OF THE EXISTING ONE, BUT THE EXISTING ONE WAS LEAKING FLUID. *TR
