VISIBILITY/WIPER
FRONT WIPERS DO NOT WORK. IT IS NOT THE MOTOR. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS THE TIPM. TIPMS HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER FROM CHRYSLER FOR YEARS WITH NO END IN SIGHT!

ENGINE, VISIBILITY/WIPER
2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ANY GIVEN TIME/SPEED. WIPERS WILL START GOING OFF WITHOUT TURNING THEM ON, FOLLOWED BY ENGINE STALLING, LEAVING ME UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. MEANWHILE, MY WHEELS LOCK UP LEAVING ME UNABLE TO STEER. VERY DANGEROUS. ALREADY HAD THE TIPM REPROGRAMMED IN 2010, AND THEN AGAIN 2 DAYS AGO. (OCTOBER 16TH, 2015). ON THE WAY HOME FROM GETTING IT "FIXED", WIPERS GO OFF AGAIN AND ENGINE STALLS. PAID $825 FOR NOTHING. THIS NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH.

SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER ON AN INTERSTATE GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR THE WHOLE JEEP SHUCK VIOLENTLY, APPARENTLY THIS IS KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. I HAD NO IDEA WHY MY WHOLE JEEP WAS SHAKING AND THOUGHT I JADE A FLAT TIRE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE. I WAS TERRIFIED TO CONTINUE MY TRIP AND I AM STILL AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT IS GOING TO THE SHOP ON FRIDAY. THIS WAS A VERY TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE FOR ME. I LOVE MY JEEP AND THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CORRECTED BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED AND NOT AFTER THE FACT.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OVER THE LAST 2 YEAR, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES STARTING MY JEEP. IT WOULD NOT CRANK AT ALL 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THAN START WITH NO PROBLEMS. IT WOULD BE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS AND THAN DO IT AGAIN. MORNING, AFTERNOON, WHEN RAINING OR SNOWING, IT IS UNPREDICTABLE. STARTING 3 DAYS AGO, MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS COMING ON WHEN TURNING LEFT AND THAN WOULD GO OFF AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. TODAY, I HAD IT CHECKED AT WORK AND IT CAME UP AS THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG IS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I DROVE TO BIG O DODGE IN GREENVILLE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT JUST BLEW ME OFF TELLING ME THAT THEIR IS NO RECALLS OR PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP. BUT I HAPPENED TO KNOW ONE OF THE TECHNICIAN THERE THAT TOLD ME ON MY WAY OUT THAT THEY ARE HAVING SOME ISSUE WITH THE WRANGLERS CONCERNING THESE ISSUES. SO I DECIDED TO LOOK ONLINE AND COME ACROSS A LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAIN ON FORUMS CONCERNING MY ISSUES AND THAN CAME ACROSS YOUR WEB SITE.

ENGINE IS CONSUMING EXCESS AMOUNT OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. NO OIL LEAKS DETECTED (NO LEAKS FOUND). ENGINE IS CONSUMING 7 TO 8 QUARTS OF OIL PER 5000 MILES. NOTICED THIS AROUND 45,000 MILES. MY JEEP NOW HAS 62,000 ON THE ODOMETER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
MY 2007 JEEP JKU SAHARA WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND STALL AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHILE I AM DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE WIPERS AND HORN WILL GO OFF EVEN WHEN IN THE "OFF" POSITION, FOLLOWED BY THE ENGINE STALLING. MY WHEELS WILL LOCK UP AND I CANNOT GIVE THE VEHICLE GAS. I CAN ONLY BRAKE AND SLIGHTLY TURN OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THERE IS NO TELLING WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. RECALL FOR TIPM HAS ALREADY BEEN "REPROGRAMMED" AND APPARENTLY THERE ARE NO POWER MODULES AVAILABLE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IF A CERTAIN CODE DOES NOT POP UP, THAT I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE EVERYTHING ON MY OWN. WELL, HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO DO THAT WHEN THERE ARE NO POWER MODULES AVAILABLE? THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP.

STEERING
THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN AS THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. ON A 25 MILE STRETCH OF ROAD BETWEEN SONOITA, AZ AND TUCSON, ARIZONA I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD 5 TIMES IN ONE TRIP TO STOP DANGEROUS AND ALMOST UNMANAGEABLE FRONT-END STEERING VIBRATIONS. JEEP AS FAR AS I KNOW HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, BUT FROM READING AUTOMOTIVE LITERATURE I UNDERSTAND THAT HAVE ISSUED 4 OR 5 MODIFICATION KITS NONE OF WHICH HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN SOLVING THE PROBLEM. THE JEEP STEERS NORMALLY AT LOW SPEED OR ON STRAIGHT GLASS SMOOTH HIGHWAYS. HOWEVER ABOVE 40 MPH WITH ANY RHYTHMIC RIPPLE OR INDIVIDUAL POTHOLE A FRONT END HOPPING VIBRATION STARTS THAT CAN ONLY BE CONTROLLED BY STOPPING THE VEHICLE AND THEN PULLING BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I HAD A NON-DEALER GARAGE FIX IT ONCE AND JEEP REIMBURSED ME (BUT NO FORMAL RECALL). THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED IN SIX MONTHS AND I PRESSURED THE GARAGE INTO FIXING IT AGAIN. SOME TIME AFTER THAT THE PROBLEM REOCCURRED AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. ACCORDING TO AUTOMOTIVE LITERATURE JEEP AS ISSUED 4 OR 5 DIFFERENT ENGINEERING CHANGES FOR THE PROBLEM, BUT NONE HAVE PRODUCED A PERMANENT FIX. THIS TELLS ME THAT THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE" IS LESS IF A WEAR ISSUE, BUT RATHER AN ENGINEERING FAILURE. ONCE THE FRONT END STARTS TO BOUNCE THE TIRE IN CONTACT WITH THE ROAD WILL STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THEN THE TIRE ON THE OTHER SIDE COMES DOWN AND STEERS THE OTHER DIRECTION AND THE FRONT END BOUNCES SIDED-TO-SIDE WITH INCREASING VIOLENCE.

POWER TRAIN
AT 2 MPH IN 2H AND 1ST GEAR OF MANUAL TRANSMISSION, DROVE ONTO A WET GRASSY AREA AND ENGAGED THE TRANSFER CASE INTO 4H. AFTER 150 FEET AT 3 MPH AND VEHICLE ROLLING, I DEPRESSED CLUTCH AND SHIFTED TRANSFER CASE INTO 4L. MADE U-TURN AND CREPT AT 2 MPH. MOVING FORWARD, DEPRESSED CLUTCH, LET OFF GAS AND SHIFTED TRANSFER CASE INTO 4H, DROVE TO THE EDGE OF STREET AND STOPPED. WITH FOOT ON BRAKE, AND CLUTCH DEPRESSED, I SHIFTED THE TRANSFER CASE INTO 2H POSITION BUT HEARD SNAPPING SOUND AND THE LEVER WENT LOOSE. TAKING HOLD OF THE LEVER, I FOUND IT FLOPPED FREELY FORWARD AND BACK. MANUAL TRANSMISSION WAS IN FIRST GEAR, BUT WHEN I LET THE CLUTCH UP, THE VEHICLE DIDNT MOVE. MOVED THE GEARSHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO 1ST GEAR. RELEASED THE CLUTCH BUT THE VEHICLE DIDNT MOVE. TURNED VEHICLE OFF, ENGAGED PARKING BRAKE, AND INSPECTED UNDERNEATH. NOTHING HANGING FROM THE TRANSMISSION OR TRANSFER CASE. DEPRESSED CLUTCH, PUT GEARSHIFT LEVER IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED. PUT THE GEARSHIFT LEVER INTO 1ST, BUT WHEN I LET UP ON CLUTCH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE. I RELEASED THE CLUTCH WITH GEARSHIFT LEVER IN 1ST AND RELEASED THE PARKING BRAKE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARD INTO THE SWALE. VEHICLE TOWED TO JEEP DEALERSHIP. INVOICE STATES, "CUSTOMER STATES WHILE SHIFTING VEH. INTO 4H SOMETHING SNAPPED AND NOW VEH. WON'T GO INTO GEAR AT ALL. TECH FOUND TRANSFER CASE SHIFT CABLE BROKEN AT BOTH ENDS. COMPLETED REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT OF TRANSFER CASE SHIFT CABLE. MY CONCERN IS THIS COULD HAPPEN WHEN SOMEONE SHIFTS INTO 4H WHILE DRIVING ON A WET, SLIPPERY ROAD SURFACE UP TO 50 MPH. THE VEHICLE WOULD QUICKLY LOOSE FORWARD MOMENTUM, COASTING TO A STOP, AND POSSIBLY BE STRUCK FROM BEHIND.

I RAN INTO MY HOUSE TO GET A FIRE EXTINGUISHER, CAME BACK OUT, OPENED THE HOOD CAREFULLY AND BEGAN TO TRY AND EXTINGUISH THE FLAME. IN ORDER TO FULLY PUT OUT THE FIRE IT TOOK THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND MULTIPLE BUCKETS OF WATER. AFTER THE FIRE WAS FULLY EXTINGUISHED I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE CARRIER.

WHEN DRIVING AT ABOUT 50 MPH RIGHT FRONT TIRE HIT A POTHOLE REPAIR/BUMP. THIS THREW MY FRONT END INTO MAJOR OSSCILLATION/WOBBLE. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 35 BEFORE IT WOULD STOP.
