UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM DRIVING AT 20 MPH ON A CURVE ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE WHOLE ENTIRE SHAKES, ROCKS, MOVES UNCONTROLLABLY TO ALL DIRECTION. I CAN BE DRIVING IN CITY LIMITS AT 25 MPH AND IT WILL DO ALL THE SAME THINGS SHAKES, ROCKS, MOVES UNCONTROLLABLY TO ALL DIRECTIONS. IT OCCURS MORE THAN 10 TIMES A MONTH. I TOOK MY JEEP WRANGLER TO THE JEEP AGENCY AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE BREAKS SO I TOLD THEM OK FIX IT. THEY CALLED ME TO PICK UP MY CAR THAT IT WAS READY. SO I DRIVE ON TO GET ON THE EXPRESSWAY AS SOON AS I GET TO 25MPH THE CAR SHOWS THE SAME PROBLEM. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUNDED MY MONEY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT I TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALER THAT ISN'T JEEP. I TOLD THEM THAT THEY WERE THE JEEP EXPERTS WHAT WOULD OTHER AGENCIES KNOW ABOUT JEEP. THEN I SPOKE TO DAIMLER AND THEY SAID TO TRY TO REPLACE MY TIRES AND I DID AND THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. I HAVE ALL MY PAPER WORK. *TT

THE GAS TANK ON MY 2005 WRANGLER X HAS AN ISSUE WITH OVERFLOWING OR SPURTING GAS INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF LIKE IT SHOULD. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT ALMOST EVERY GAS STATION I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SO I'M CERTAIN ITS NOT AN ISSUE WITH A PARTICULAR PUMP. I HAVE ALSO READ ABOUT OTHER JEEP OWNERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TT

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60-65 MPH AROUND A SMALL BEND I HIT AN UNEVEN PART IN THE ROAD THE FRONT END STARTING SHAKING VIOLENTLY OUT OF CONTROL I ALMOST COULD NOT HOLD THE WHEEL. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE SHAKING DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I CAN TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS WAS ALSO IN A LOT OF TRAFFIC. ANOTHER MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE CONTROL AND CRASH INTO THE WALL. THE ENTIRE FRONT END WAS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN THE WHEEL VIBRATING SO MUCH IT WAS HARD TO HOLD ONTO. AGAIN WITH PEOPLE DRIVING HOME IN RUSH HOUR I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THIS VIOLENT SHAKING WOULD STOP. AGAIN I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
WHILE ENTERING HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, WHILE MERGING I CROSSED OVER A ROADWAY LANE SEAM WHICH SEEMED TO ACTUATE A HARMONIC VIBRATION IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION WHICH INCREASED TO A DANGEROUS UNCONTROLLABLE AND VIOLENT SHAKING MAKING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THIS SHAKING CONTINUED WHILE I SLOWED AND CROSSED 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED ONLY AFTER I CAME TO A FULL STOP. INSPECTED FRONT SUSPENSION FOR DAMAGE AND SAW NONE. I CONTINUED ON MY TRIP WITH NO OTHER INCIDENT. THIS CONDITION IS INHERENT IN WRANGLERS AND OFTEN REFERRED TO IN JEEP MESSAGE BOARDS AS THE "WRANGLER DEATH WOBBLE". DEALER ROTATED AND REBALANCED TIRES AND INSTALLED NEW STEERING DAMPER IN HOPES THAT MIGHT SOLVE THE ISSUE. THE POTENTIAL FOR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IS VERY REAL. *KB

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
DEATH WOBBLE - WHEN I REACH A SPEED OF OVER 45 AND HIT A ROUGH PATCH, MY FRONT TWO TIRES START WOBBLING UNCONTROLLABLY. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO SLOW DOWN ALMOST TO A STOP. I HAVE JUST 31,000 MILES ON MY JEEP (NO MODIFICATION AND STOCK TIRES). THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF MY WIFE HAD THIS HAPPEN, I DOUBT SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK IT INTO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP. THEY PUT A NEW STEERING DAMPER ON IT AND SAID THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IT DID NOT. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I GO TO CHRYSLER. *KB

SUSPENSION
I LOVE MY 2005 JEEP WRANGLER BUT I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO KILL ME OR CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. HITTING A BUMP OR ROUGH PATCH AT SPEEDS OVER 50 CAN TRIGGER A "DEATH WOBBLE." THE TIRES SPIN SIDEWAYS- UNCONTROLLABLY- AND THE CAR LITERALLY JUMPS AND SHIMMIES OUT OF CONTROL. IF I'M LUCKY I CAN GUIDE IT OFF THE FREEWAY TO A STOP. THIS HAPPENED A YEAR AGO AND I HAD MY TIRES ALIGNED, WHICH HELPED FOR A WHILE. IT STARTED AGAIN, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO ALIGNED MY TIRES AND REPLACED MY STEERING DAMPER. JEEP KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM- THERE'S A REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE FOR NEWER MODELS. I DRIVE CONSERVATIVELY, AND NEVER OFF-ROAD, AND HAVE NOT MADE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE FACTORY PARTS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND COMMON COMPLAINT- JEEP SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED!! HOW CAN THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACTION TO DATE WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS! *KB

POWER TRAIN
2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. 85,000 MILES. JEEP WILL NOT START THE MAJORITY OF TIME. JEEP WILL CLICK, AND NOT START. BATTERY, BATTERY CABLES, AND STARTER NOT THE ISSUE. DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A RECONFIGURATION ON THE TIPM FOR $80, BUT ISSUE NOT RESOLVED. IT APPEARS THAT A NEUTRAL START WILL INCREASE CHANCES OF THE VEHICLE STARTING, BUT NOT ALWAYS. WIGGLING THE SHIFTER IN PARK, OR MOVING IT INTO "NEUTRAL" PRIOR TO STARTING INCREASES THE SUCCESS RATIO. VEHICLE WILL ALWAYS START THE FIRST TIME EACH DAY, BUT AFTER THAT, YOU'RE STUCK TRYING TO TURN THE IGNITION AND GETTING PAST THE CLICKING. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2007 JEEP WRANGLER/ LESS THAN 18 K MILES: HIT MINOR BUMP AT APPROX 40 MILES/ HR, FRONT END BEGAN VIOLENT WOBBLING AND I COULD NOT STOP THE WOBBLE UNTIL I FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THIS SITUATION DID NOT RESULT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS WAS THE 1ST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME, JUST PURCHASED 2 MONTHS AGO. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX PROBLEM. DID RESEARCH AND I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 45 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS; EVER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON MY 2006 JEEP WRANGLER SPORT, THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS FUEL EVERY SINGLE TIME I HAVE TO REFILL THE TANK. THE TANK APPARENTLY DOES NOT VENT PROPERLY, WHICH CAUSES THE AUTO-SHUT-OFF FEATURE ON GAS PUMPS TO FAIL UNTIL THE TANK OVERFLOWS, SPITTING GASOLINE OUT (OVER A FOOT FROM THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AT TIMES), HITTING THE INDIVIDUAL FILLING UP THE TANK AND MAKING A MESS OF THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS FUEL OVERFLOW ISSUE OCCURS 100% OF THE TIME. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY THIS, BUT THAT IT IS A "COMMON" PROBLEM AMONG 1997-PRESENT WRANGLERS. CHRYSLER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2007-LATER WRANGLER, BUT REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 2006 AND OLDER MODELS. REVIEWING BOTH LOCAL AND NATIONAL JEEP INTERNET FORUMS, I HAVE SEEN FORUM THREADS ON THIS TOPIC WITH LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF 1997-2006 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS CLAIMING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I AM HAVING WITH MY 2006 WRANGLER. THE COST TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, THE ONLY SOLUTION, IS AT A COST OF $1100-$1200. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. TO DATE, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE, AS ASKED BELOW, BUT THAT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME! *TR

JEEP WRANGLER DEATH WOBBLE. EVERYBODY WHO BUYS A JEEP WRANGLER EXPERIENCES THIS PROBLEM. ITS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND HAS NOT EVER BEEN ADDRESSED. AT 50 MPH JEEP BEGAN SHAKING TO THE POINT WHERE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT POSSIBLE. WENT OFF THE ROAD WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. THANK GOD I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. *TR
