SUSPENSION, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT APPROX 65 MPH. I SWITCHED LANES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD THIS INTENSE SHAKING INITIALLY THINKING A TIRE WAS GOING DOWN. I DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 25MPH. I DID ALL I COULD TO KEEP THE JEEP IN THE LANE. I HAVE READ ABOUT DEATH WOBBLE...I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING. THIS IS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA 4-DR 4X4. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN HITTING 65MPH AND JEEP STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY. I WOULD HAVE TO STOP AND PULL OVER TO A LOWER SPEED FOR IT TO STOP. BUT IF I WAS IN LEFT LANE AND IT STARTED I COULDN'T SWING TO BREAKDOWN LANE SO WOULD HAVE TO STOP IMMEDIATELY IN TRAFFIC. VERY UNSAFE BUT BETTER THAN CAUSING ACCIDENT. I REPLACED THE STEERING STABILIZER LAST SUMMER WITH NO RELIEF. WHY IS JEEP NOT HANDLING THIS ? WHY ARE PEOPLE LIKE US SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON A VEHICLE JUST TO HAVE CAUSE LIFE THREATENING ISSUES I HAVE MANY THINGS AND READ UP ON THIS DEATH WOBBLE OF JEEP. IS IT SOMETHING I CAN GET LAWYERS INVOLVED ? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH OVER UNEVEN PAVEMENT, THE VEHICLE BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE. THE WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO WOBBLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FRONT STABILIZER LINK FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE STABILIZER LINK AND BOLTS THAT SECURED THE LINKS WERE REPLACED, HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WE HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. EVERY TIME WE HIT A POTHOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE CAR DOES THIS SHAKE AND YOU LOSE CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2007 AT LEAST 1 TIME A WEEK. I AM LUCK I HAVE NOT CRASHED YET. *TR

ENGINE
THE 3.8 ENGINE USED IN THE JEEP WRANGLER LINE USES AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. IT CAN USE UP TO 1 QUART EVERY 700-800 MILES. CHRYSLER HAS SAID ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THIS IS "NORMAL". THERE IS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS BOARDS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AS IT SEEMS TO AFFECT ALMOST ALL WRANGLERS. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PROBLEM AND DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SPENDING 35,000+ ON A VEHICLE THEY SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 70K MILES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT PREVIOUSLY REGARDING THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE OR TIPM AND HAVE BEEN WAITING ALMOST TWO MONTHS FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO GET ONE IN. I HAVE HEARD AND READ FURTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS MATTER AND I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON THE NHTSA FOR NOT CONDUCTING THEMSELVES ACCORDINGLY. THEY FILED AN INVESTIGATION AND REOPENED THE INVESTIGATION ONLY TO RECALL THE VEHICLES FOR A TIPM REPROGRAM. WELL NOW ALL THOSE VEHICLES REPROGRAMMED ARE FACING A TIPM EQUIPMENT FAILURE AND THERE ARE NO MODULES IN PRODUCTION [ACCORDING TO JEEP DEALERSHIP] LAMPE DODGE AND JEEP VISALIA, CA. SO NHTSA REOPEN YOUR FAILED INVESTIGATION AND COMPLETE THE WORK BECAUSE JEEP DEALERS ARE CHARGING $ 700-1200 TO REPLACE THE TIPM MODULES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS HOW YOU HAVE ALLOWED THE JEEP MANUFACTURE TO CORRECT THIS ERROR. IN NOVEMBER, 2013 A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED AGAINST CHRYSLER ACCUSING THEM OF EQUIPPING THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH FAULTY TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULES (TIPM). YOU OWN OR LEASE A JEEP/DODGE/CHRYSLER VEHICLE AND ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH YOUR VEHICLE'S TIPM, OR IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS CLASS ACTION AGAINST CHRYSLER, PLEASE CONTACT GIRARD GIBBS LLP AT 866-981-4800 OR BY EMAIL AT TIPM@[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN TRACED TO THE SOLID STATE RELAY ON THE TIPM PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD. THE LOW BEAM USUALLY OPERATES AFTER HAVING THE SELECTOR SET TO HIGH BEAM FOR 20-30 MINUTES. THE ONLY REMEDY IS REPLACING THE TIPM AT SUBSTANTIAL COST FOR A RELATIVELY SIMPLE AND VERY IMPORTANT, SAFETY RELATED VEHICLE FUNCTION. REPLACEMENT TIPM UNITS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE, AND THERE IS NO TEMPORARY REPAIR POSSIBLE. THIS FAILURE EFFECTIVELY PRECLUDES LEGAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE COSTLY REPAIR CAN BE COMPLETED. *TR

FOR THE PAST TWO TIMES FILLING UP GAS IN MY WRANGLER, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A SLIGHT FUEL OVERFLOW RIGHT AS THE AUTOMATIC RELEASE SOUNDS. I LOOKED IT UP TODAY AND SAW THAT THIS IS A COMMON MISHAP, THAT VARIES IN SEVERITY FROM JEEP TO JEEP, AND THAT SOMETIMES CHRYSLER WILL DENY THIS AS A PROBLEM, BLAME THE DRIVER FOR OVERFILLING, BLAME THE GAS PUMP WHICH DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
MY JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X HAS STALLED 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND THE VEHICLE'S POWER GOES OUT FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE NO MORE THAN 2 SECONDS. THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS JEEP, BUT MOST HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE LIFETIME DRIVE-TRAIN WARRANTY. RE: QUESTION #2 I CAN NOT GIVE ANY DATES, SO I PUT TODAY'S DATE. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE AFOREMENTIONED PROBLEM 3X'S AS IT IS AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE. *TR

ON FEBRUARY 26, 2015, DUE TO UNKNOWN EXHAUST NOISE, MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WAS EVALUATED BY JIM AT DAVES AUTOMOTIVE IN VISALIA, CA. DURING THIS EVAL. JIM REPORTED BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS (STOCK) WERE CRACKED AND EMITTING EXHAUST. ADDITIONALLY JIM REPORTED THAT DUE TO THE FAULTY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT BOTH WERE MISSING BOLTS WHICH WERE FORCED OUT OF THEIR LOCATION DUE TO THE FAULTY MANIFOLDS. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP LAMPE DODGE JEEP IN VISALIA, CA THEY INFORMED ME THIS PROBLEM WAS COMMON AND THE REASON THEY KEPT THE MANIFOLDS IN STOCK. ADDITIONALLY, IN JANUARY WE HAD THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN REPAIRED AT LAMPE AND REQUESTED THEY EVALUATE THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM WHICH ONLY WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THEY REPORTED THEY KEEP THE TIPM MODULE IN STOCK TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WHICH WAS COMMON IN THE JEEP WRANGLERS AND OTHER MODELS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, STEERING
THE DOORS WILL NO LONGER LOCK OR UNLOCK, AT TIMES THE LOCKING OF THE DOORS IS INTERMITTENT. WE RECENTLY HAD THE CLOCK SPRING REPAIRED AT LAMPE DODGE AND THEN THE LOCKS STARTED MALFUNCTIONING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE INFORMED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TIPM MODULE. I AM RESEARCHING THIS OUT MYSELF DUE TO THE DEALERSHIP REPORTING THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT JEEP IS IGNORING. ADDITIONALLY I WILL BE FILING A REPORT ON THE 2007 WRANGLER EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE SAME REPAIR SHOP WAS LOOKING INTO THE EXHAUST NOISE COMING FROM THIS VEHICLE AND INFORMED ME OF TWO CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. ADDITIONALLY EXHAUST MANIFOLD 1 WAS MISSING 3 BOLTS AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD 2 WAS MISSING 2 BOLTS. AT THIS TIME THE MECHANIC BELIEVED THE BOLTS HAD BEEN FORCED OUT OF THEIR LOCATION BY FAULTY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT WARPED.

ON 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD), THE DASHBOARD AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND CHIME RANDOMLY AND FREQUENTLY GOES ON AND OFF. CONTACTED DEALER ALMOST A WEEK AGO. DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY ARE TOO BUSY TO LOOK AT IT NOW. I AM WAITING FOR A PART (UNRELATED TO THE AIRBAG) TO COME IN SO THE DEALER SAID THEY WILL LOOK AT AIRBAG WHEN THE OTHER PART COMES IN. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER IS NOT OVERLY CONCERNED THE RANDOM AND FREQUENT LIGHT AND CHIME ARE ANNOYING (WHICH BY DESIGN PROBABLY MEANS IT NEEDS MORE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE BRAKE ASSIST, AIRBAG & STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT UP. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CLOCK SPRING WAS FAULTY THAT IS WHY THE LIGHTS COME ON. THE COST TO REPAIR THE CLOCK SPRING IS OVER $800.00. ALL IT DOES IS MAKE IT SO THE WARNING LIGHTS TURN OFF, SO I HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO REPAIR IT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JK WRANGLERS. THE PROBLEM IS IF THERE REALLY IS AN ISSUE THEN I WON'T KNOW BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. I FEEL THAT JEEP SHOULD REPAIR THIS AS A RECALL. *TR

I HAD DEATH WOBBLE FROM POORLY MADE PARTS. STEERING STABILIZER IS WAS TO SMALL TO HANDLE EVERYDAY DRIVING AND THE BALL JOINTS ARE JUNK. 600 BUCKS LATER I FIGURED IT OUT SINCE THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE AND TALKING TO MECHANIC FRIENDS IT'S A COMMON REPLACEMENT SINCE THE COMPANY USES CHEAP PARTS. ALSO HAVE LOTS OF ISSUES WITH THE ESP, EGR VALVE, FALSE CODES FROM EGR AND O2 SENSORS. AND TODAY MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS GONE OFF. AND EVERY SINGLE TIME I GET GAS IT'S SPILLS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THE THROW OUT BEARING WHINES WHICH I WAS TOLD IS ALSO JUNK AND CAN FAIL RIGHT FROM PURCHASE TO OVER 100,000 MILES. IT WOULD BE VERY NICE IF CHRYSLER WOULD FIX THE CHEAP PARTS MADE FOR THE JEEP JK MODEL. JUST LOOK AT FORUMS YOU WITH FIND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS MODEL OF JEEP. *TR

I HAD IT CHECKED & NO ONE COULD FIND A PROBLEM OTHER THEN THE LIGHT COMING ON. I DON'T WANT TO WAIT TILL I CRASH TO SEE IF THE AIRBAG WORKS. *JS
