2007 wrangler rubicon unlimited with faulty clock spring.airbag light came on along with an audible dinging alarm at 71,918 miles.took vehicle to dealership and was told the clock spring needed replaced and wasn't covered under the 100,000 mile warranty i purchased.have not had this replaced at this time.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon.clockspring is malfunctioning and airbag lights stays on.
Cruise control went out about a year ago. Recently the airbag light comes on intermittently with a warning tone. Appears to be a faulty clockspring.
As i was pulling into parking lot the air bag went off and blew up in my face. Chrysler jeep has yet to pay for it, so it sits at body shop waiting to get fixed, i don't feel i should pay for it
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited. Clockspring and airbag module need replaced at 56k miles. Airbag light and chime stay on while driving.numerous cases have been documented with same failure.solution is to have $700 replacement done or circumvent airbag system...which is not safe to do.
Wrangler has a failed clockspring and always gets airbag light on after driving for a short period of time. Dealer wants to charge an exorbitant amount to fix this. There are many failures reported and jeep should be liable to fix this problem.
On the 2007 jeep wrangler (lhd) dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes on every other minute with a chime, an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicle's airbags.this has been a recurring issue and concern for many 2007 jeep wrangler (lhd) owners, including myself, and has been shown time and time again to be caused by a faulty clockspring within the vehicle's steering wheel. This faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2007 jeep wrangler (lhd) during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. Daimler chrysler has refused to address the safety concern of their faulty clockspring that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying."
Taka airbags, tipm fuse box. Completely disables the vehicle. They have known about and have been running this part in many chrysler dodge jeep vehicles since 1995.my car is a 2007. It reckon havock on the whole electrical system. The dealer milks all of your 260 somthing sensors before replacing the tipm, totally integrated power module. And the sway bar disconnect is prone to water damage and shorting out because they let water in the assembly and short out then they charge you 1400 dollars for a new one. When it is just the actuator. A manual override is only 89.00.all of these problems are from the can buse c. 90 %of this vehicle problems are from this can buse c. But no recall on the tipm, sway bar actuator, or can buse c communication. This whole electrical system should be a recall. It is garbage. Over complicated and under nesasary! driving done the freeway and the whole dashboard lights up i pulled over turned car off and then would not turn back on. Goes in to a limp mode. I was worried that it wouldshut off or worse cause an accident or leave me stranded in the freeway! the airbag recall could set the airbag of wile driving causing you to crash.
Airbags- on jan 06, 2016 i was involved in an auto accident in my 07 jeep jk the impact was at 35 miles per hour and conditions wet (rain). A vehicle failed to yield and we impacted, however, our airbags did not deploy and the other vehicles airbags did. The damage was moderate and chevy tahoe received more severe damage. I filed a complaint with chrysler and they are inspecting the vehicle. I am very concerned, my wife and daughter were very sore after this accident and all wore their seat belts, wife is afraid to drive her jeep now and says it is not safe. Cair #28562532.
No parts, they said to order but i do not see anyway of completing this.
Air bag light is on,horn stopped working,esp and bak light is on n none of codes can be cleared
Clock spring recall for air bag failure on 07 wrangler, mine is doing the very same but no recall on my jeep. This is an extreme safety hazard and i would expect a defective part to be replaced not at my cost. I thought i was buying dependability but now my family is at risk. Blinker, horn no longer work, air bag light comes on.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4 dr.85,000 miles.passenger air bag light stays on...dealer states the issue is a faulty steering angle sensor (330 cpt).
Takata recall - it has almost been a year since the takata recall was announced.in that time, i have been notified by jeep once.as it appears that the wrangler is the only vehicle in their line that is affected, i do not understand why this has not been addressed.i have a 2007 wrangler and live in alabama which is "zone a" for the recall.i have a colleague that has a similar aged vehicle from toyota that was told to park the car and was provided with a loaner by toyota until a fix was available because of the potential danger.as this is the vehicle that i use to drive my child to and from school, this concerns me.it seems that jeep is making no effort to remedy this problem, and i am left putting passengers of my vehicle in danger.any effort to contact jeep have resulted in no response.i would much prefer to have the airbag disabled and/or removed until a fix is available rather than a potential hazard for my child.even a new inflator that is no so old would be a better temporary fix.i would appreciate seeing some action on jeep's part or some action on the part of nhtsa to force the issue.

Clock spring for air bag is failed open on driver side steering wheel.
Fuel over flows when filling up. Jeep shakes violently at random times. Air bag lights up and dings at random times
Just as all the other 2007 jeep wranglers my clockspring has gone bad and my airbags and horn malfunction constantly.i filed a reports years ago but that seems to have been removed.i see that the 2008 jeep wranglers had this recalled, but 2007 jeeps were not good enough.guess our lives and the lives of our families don't mean squat.
2007 jeep wrangler 4x4 safari with esp (electronic stability program). Esp intermittently turns on by itself and can't be turned off. It will eventually turn itself off. Dealer tells me it's caused by a defective clock spring in the steering column, which also controls the steering wheel air bag, cruise control and the horn! i feel this is a safety concern, if any of these devices quit working, because of a defective clock spring!!!!
Esp computer system failure, faulty abs module, electrical failure.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4.while driving approximately 45 mph in normal conditions, the vehicle stalled while making a right turn.immediately following the failure, all of the instrument panel lights illuminated and the vehicle restarted.the contact called the manufacturer and the dealer.the dealer reset the computer, but could not duplicate the failure.the current and failure mileages were 19,000.updated 07/25/07
As soon as i turn the car over, my dash lights, headlights come on.the headlight stalk and the windshield wiper stalk are inoperable.it's a safety hazard to drive my car.and after researching through multiple forums and sites online, it looks like this is a fairly common problem, with a non-standard resolution.not looking forward to the hours i'm going to have to spend getting this addressed.i was driving 8/14 when i noticed the issues.
While driving at 65mph in 5th gear with a manual, engine hesitated and than all dash lights illuminated for approx 3 seconds, the engine then continued as normal and the lights went off.outside temperature 55 degrees, lights on, no ac or heat. Radio off, no other electronics in use.
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. Driving on the highway the other day and 3 different malfunction indicator lights came on in a matter of seconds, jeep powered off. No power steering or brakes, traveling approximately 60 mph. 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.what is chrysler going to do about these issues.?
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.

This is an extreme safety hazard and i would expect a defective part to be replaced not at my cost. I thought i was buying dependability but now my family is at risk. Blinker, horn no longer work, air bag light comes on.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimitedstalled on several occasions from low to highway speeds resulting in loss of control, braking and steering.thankfully, no one was hurt but had this been in traffic, around a sharp turn or in the mountains this could have been fatal.there are thousands of cases of this in various jeep forums and someone is going to die if daimler chrylser doesn't feel the pressure to find a fix.
2007 four door 4x4 jeep wrangler when driving about 15-20 miles and hour through a neighborhood the electronic stability program indicator came on and the vehicle immediatly slowed down to about 5-7 mile per hour, this happened about every 10-15 seconds for no reason. The road were dry, it happened on turns and while driving straight.
I was at a stop sign coming out of a subdivsion and while pulling out onto a busy road the jeep went dead for a few seconds and started back up. I was sitting in the middle of the busy road trying to get to the side or at least going enough to not get hit by oncoming traffic. This has only happened once so far but seems alot of other owners are having the same experience.

I drive a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4-door. The very first week i bought the car (march, 2007) i was driving on the highway and the radio shut off, the dashboard powered off and the jeep seemed to lose power for about 2-3 seconds and then it came back on again. I pulled over, called the dealer, and they said a recall has been identified and i should be receiving it shortly. Wrong! the recall was for the brakes. Since 2007, the radio/dashboard has been cutting in and out about 10 times a year. Everytime i take it to the dealer, they say nothing is wrong with it.
Jeep wrangler 4 door 2007. Vehicle shut down while driving at 35 mph. Vehicle restartedby itself 5 seconds later. Once vehicle shut downit was hard to steer,and panic set in due to unexpected hazard.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4dr 4x4.hile driving on i-83 at about 10mph the vehicle stalled. All lights, radio, engine and options were completely dead for a couple of seconds.before i could get off the highway all power returned ,and i let out the clutch and started the engine. All dash indicator lights came on briefly. The jeep was fine since and this is the only time this occured in about 7k miles.the dealer did a thorough diagnostic and nothing is wrong.i saw that this is not a unique situation and am just a bit concerned that it might happen again. I travel dc-baltimore alot and no lights, no power on the beltways could be very bad.
My vehicle has stalled on me 2 times.i have an automatic transmission on a 2007 4wd jeep wrangler jk.the first time, i was stopped at a stop sign, and then started to travel forward, then all the light on the dash board lit up, the radio when dead, and i lost the power steering.i tried to go to the side of the road, and within 2 seconds, it started driving normal again.the second time, i was in a parking lot, i parked in a spot.i sat there for 2 minutes, then placed the vehicle in reverse.i completely stopped the vehicle, placed the shift knob into drive (d), and proceeded to take my foot off the break to press the gas.then all of the light on the dash came on again, the radio went off, and i lost the steering and brakes.the vehicle proceeded to roll back into a post, then it went forward.the decline of the spot is no more than 5 degrees.there was damage done to my vehicle, so the next day i took my jeep into the dealer, and they told me that they were not able to reproduce the problem, so "i was on my own."
While traveling at night down a county road at approximately 60 mph the headlights went off for almost a second, the dash lights lit up like a christmas tree, the engine bogged and all accessories went off,and then came back on as if the ignition had just been turned on. The engine's power returned, and it continued as if nothing happened. The brake light stayed illuminated for 3-5 minutes after. Prior to this, there was a similar incident, though it was in the daylight and i was unable to see the dash lights light up or the headlights come on, however the engine bogged and the bas light lit up.the problem is intermittent and i have not yet had an opportunity to take the vehicle to the dealership yet.
Driving at 35mph dash illuminates random lights, speed odometer fluctuates back and forth 0 to current speed, dash board dings and car slows and spontaneously stalls. Restarts immediately. This first incident occurred ages months back without stalling now is happening frequently . Will not be driving this car again until problem is identified and fixed, too risky.
My jeep stalling at all speeds !!esp light will flash and car will began to jerk and stall. This problem appears very dangerous since it is not predictable. I have also noticed a knocking sound when this happens . I have read that the transmission is also being affected.will chrysler address this issue before people get killed ?dealership says there is no fix for it yet......pleasehelp !!!!!!!!
Vehicle stalled at highway speed loosing all power including power steering, brakes and lights.it restarted, but caused a near miss.
3 times while driving, all several months apart, the electrical board completely lights up and loss of power to brakes and steering for about 2 seconds.everything goes back to normal and engine is running.there was no warning.two of the incidents were under braking exiting the freeway and i almost went into the intersection.luckily i have strong legs and the pavement was dry.made an appointment at the service center. Will see what they say.
Vehicle stalled while driving. First the horn goes off, then all lights on the dash board go off, then it finally stalled. Took it to the dealer 2x and both times was told nothing wrong. Why is the jeep dealership, the ones that should know the vehicle better than any other mechanic, tell me there is nothing wrong when there clearly is a problem? i'm concerned for my safety and cannot drive the car until its fixed. The only problem is that the dealership is charging me $100 each time and telling me there is nothing wrong.
While driving on the highway, all of my dashboard lights lit up and my vehicle lost all power; ie: the radio and the blower shut off and my rpms dropped. The same thing happened 3 other times under different conditions.
1: driving at highway speed with 3400 miles on the car.2: all dashboard lights came on and engine stopped. Within a few seconds, the vehicle resumed operation.3: nothing has been done. I have been researching and waiting for this issue to occur, as it has for many other 2007 jeep wrangler owners. It will be going in to the dealer, but as of late, there is no "fix" for this issue.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4 door,1800 miles, 14 degrees outside and all lights and motor turned off.then a few seconds later it restarted like i put the key in the ignition and restarted it. This happened while i was driving 35 mph.
See attached document.the consumer stated the vehicle stalled on several occasions. The dealer was unable to duplicate the stalling problem. The consumer then received a recall regarding the totally integrated power module. The document stated the vehicle was programmed with software that may cause the engine to stall under certain operating conditions. The vehicle was reprogrammed. Soon after, the esp and bas control lights illuminated on the dashboard.afterwards, the traction control system light illuminated.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited randomly stalls.dash lights light up and engine stalls with complete loss of power steering and braking--this has occurred at 60 mph and as low as 10 mph.has been taken to dealership and they cannot replicate the issue.it continues to be a problem.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4.while driving at 65 mph the steering locked, instrument panel dimmed, and the vehicle shut off.the vehicle restarted automatically approximately four seconds later.the vehicle was taken to a shop and no failures were found.this morning, while driving 65 mph the failure's recurred.the contact stated that the radio shut off without warning and the vehicle automatically restarted four to five seconds later.the contact never turned thekey in the ignition, changed lanes, or changed gears when the vehicle restarted.the dealer could not duplicate the failure and stated that the vehicle had an investigation open with nhtsa, action # pe07009regarding electrical system power train:automatic transmission:control module (tcm, pcm)).the current mileage is 4,971,and failure mileage was 2,000.updated 06/26/07
I see similar complaints listed here. The whole ip just blanks out at random times. I have just shy of 50k miles and this has happened at least 4 times. The engine keeps running and the car is functional but the speedo, tach, odometer and all gauges go blank, but all the warning lights come on. Then everything resets and comes back to normal.
I have a 2007 jeep unlimited x. It stalled twice with only 4000 miles.once at approximately 50 mph and the other at around 25mph.all of the lights on the inside lit up and i lost lighting from the outside.when i tried to start back up both times, it started right back up.i have no idea what the issue is but i have seen other similar reports from jeepforum.com.
Vehicle died lost all power and control during rush hour traffic on the transition from the 91 east to the 110 north
Once while driving and once while sitting at a stop light my 07 jeep jk wrangler just stalled.it had to be put back into park and restarted.this seems very dangerous!
Car died , loss of all power and electric) pulling out on to a 6 lane highway.almost got rear ended as the carstalled, then restarted by itself.this a brand new 2007 jeep wrangler jk with only 3400 miles on it.
I was driving up a hill and my car stalled.all the lights on the warning lights came on and the rpm went to zero.about a second or two later, the car started back up on its own and drove fine.took it to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong with it.this has happened to several jeep jk's.my car is also a automatic.
Instrument cluster went out car died than re-started.
1. At night on january 17, 2008 at 10:30 in the evening, my family an i were driving approximately 45 mph down a us highway in our 2007 jeep jk wrangler 4-door.2.without warning of any type, all of the jeep's power shut off - headlights, engine, dash lights, everything electrical shut off.the vehicle's power came back on in approximately 2-3 seconds.upon the electrical power returning on, all of the dashes warning lights flashed on for a few seconds.the dash warning lights for the esp, traction control and mil (malfunction indicator light) remained on until i drove home (about 2 miles).3. When home, i attempted to restart the car to see if the error warning lights would remain in - the mil was the only light that remained on.i will call the dealership tomorrow for diagnostic troubleshooting.however, this was an extremely frightening experience since it was snowing and i lost power without warning on an ice covered road.i checked the jeep website with my vin number, and according to the website there are no recalls outstanding for my vehicle.
The sway bar will not reconnect on my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited jk rubicon making it unsafe to drive at freeway speed.
2007 jeep wrangler intermittently stalls at highway speeds and at idle. Recall has been performed to reprogram pcm but problem still exists.
I was driving at 55mph and ran over a badly maintained road bump (a 3ft section of pavement spanning both lanes of a 2 lane rd. That had no stone in it to level it off) and my 2007 jeep 4dr wrangler unlimited sahara lost engine power. All power options in turn lost power. I managed to pull the jeep to the side of the road. I turned the key off and attempted to restart it. It started back up with no further incident. This same power loss occurred once before after driving on a wet road on a rainy day. That 2nd occurrence lasted about 1second and then re-powered.
While driving home in traffic at normal speeds the vehicle etc light came on and ran very rough with high and low revs. I had to pull over and shut down the jeep wait a few min and restart and it went back to normal. It has now happened 2 times.
I was just accelerating going from 55 to 65 mph when my 2007 jeep wrangler had what was like a hiccup.the electrical supply cut out and the jeep acted as if it would stall but then kicked back in within a couple seconds.
2007 jeep wranger unlimited x 4 door engine stall.5 occurrences total, 4 prior to completion of tipm reprogram as part of nhtsa and chrystler recall g25 in july 2007 1 additional occurrence in august 2007.
This has occurred while driving and while keys were not even in the ignition. I was driving down the road and the horn started honking, wipers went off and windshield fluid started spraying every where. It has done it several times. It has also done this just when opening the doors and no keys in the ignition. It blinks through the gears on the transmission and has locked up the traction control. I have had it in to the dealership several times and it is just now possibly diagnosed with tipm. Impart of a jeep club in which we have an online forum and this in not just happening to my jeep its happening to many jeeps and i feel its a major safety concern. Chrysler has paid for several of the jeeps on the forum, so far they haven't paid for mine but i think this issue really needs to be addressed.
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.
In the last 6 months, the power lock actuators have failed on all 4 doors.i have to manually lock/unlock all of the doors.they partially respond to the key fob, but they don't respond at all to the lock/unlock switch on the front doors.
When driving my 2007 jeep, it has 2x, completely shut off while going about 70 mph in traffic. I took it to bondy's jeep dothan, looked at by service depart. And given back - nothing wrong. The second time, returned to bondy's, some wiring harnesses were replaced. Then recall was issued, took it back-they fixed recall. Continued to have issues, been to bondy's eight times. It has not shut completely off again that was pretty scary - but the dashboard lights up with errors and i lose power everything (air conditioner, signals, radio, entire control panel, etc?). The same thing happened when it shut off completely, so my concern is that it will happen again. If i were to pull out onto a highway, that could be it. Please advise me on what action i need to take. Following is a timeline of what has been going on. I have not been able to get anyone from jeep to call me to help me with this issue. I have only been working third party with my local jeep dealer, who has been great, but has not yet solved any issues. 4/14/2007 jeep cuts completely off while going 70 mph on hwy 431 all cluster lights lit up. 4/15/2007 jeep cuts off completely again pulling out of the grocery store parking lot. 4/17/2007 took it to bondy's. Got it back on 4/19/2007. Service dept stated it was fixed. 4/26/2007 all clusters lit up like before but did not shut off. No air conditioner, radio, nothing electric worked. Took to bondy's. 7/11/2007 same thing 7/12/2007 recall received by mail, took to bondy's. 8/2/2007 it happened again. 8/3/2007 took to bondy's left it with the service dept. Do not have it back yet. It has been at bondy's 39 days total since time of purchase, in the service dept.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler.the contact was drivingat65 mph at nightsuddenly the vehicle stalled, the headlights dimmed, and all the lights on the instrument panel illuminated.when the vehicle stalled,it lost power.the vehicle restarted within three seconds. The contact stated that when the vehicle restartrd the transmission jerkedroughly into gear.the contact took the vehicle to the dealer, but no failures were found.the contact called the manufacturer,who claimed never heard of the failure and offered no help.the current and failure mileage were 2,300.
My jeep wrangler stalled one day and never would restart due to what the dealer later discovered is the malfunction of the totally integrated power module which apparently is a wide spread issue with jeeps. My vehicle has been in the dealers shop in oak ridge tn for more than a month now and they are unable to get the part from the manufacture due to what they say is a back order which seems to be getting pushed back further and further on the release date as they have stated. This part has been documented as faulty and a recall for a software reprogram dating back to 2007 was issued for multiple malfunctions of this part and i as a consumer think the public should know that jeep is incapable of producing and supplying this part in a timely manner and therefore its likely many are still driving a vehicle that is not only prone to have a stalling condition but in many cases it will be diagnosed as needing a parts replacement for various tipm problems including complete failure. It should be the responsibility of the nhtsa to investigate daimler chrysler and their poor practices of recognizing faulty conditions andthe failure to replace or act on faulty components that impact safety and drivability of their vehicles.
Driving at highway speeds with cruise control engaged, headlights on and radio on. Radio cutout and all dash lights (idiot) came on, the radio came back on within about 2 seconds and all dash lights went out after about 5 seconds. Cruise control did not disengage and there was no apparent loss of engine power. This is the first occurrence of this situation, no obd-ii codes are stored in the computer. There are no lasting effects and appears to running normally.
Total loss of power while driving at 55 mph, all dash warning lights came on and lost engine power. I was able to pull of road safely and car died completely. This is 4th time this has occurred. First time, with less than 75000 miles and jeep dealer replaced battery. Second time was on vacation and died on freeway in harrisburg, pa, was towed to aaa shop and battery was replaced. Third time was near my home and husband recharged battery and taken to a local shop, who replaced alt. , that was yesterday. Tonight, on the way to work, happened again. Every time, no warning, dash lights come on a car dies. Any of these could have caused an accident but was lucky to get off the road safely.
While driving at 55 mph jeep lost power for about 4 seconds. Dash lights flashed on, radio turned off, then power restored on its own. Very scary.
I've had it in the shop three times for the same issue. While driving the engine will stall. It may start back up, or it may take 10 minutes for it to restart. After researching this i believe it to be a faulty tipm. At times when it stalls, the blower motor on the a/c will continue to run even with the key off and out of the ignition. My concern is the loss of power steering and power brakes when it stalls at highway speeds. This is a big safety hazard. There are multiple complaint for this same issue. I have had the tipm reprogramming that is on recall. This didn't help the problem.
First the windshield wipers stopped working (changed motor and controls) then the horn stopped working, then the blinker and lights along with the instrument panel. Switched the panel and finally the tipm which fixes all issues. Vehicle continued to run but parked it until after reinstalling the tipm.
While driving on highway the jeep wrangler sahara 2007 model started to stall and hesitate, anddashboard lights flickered; engine light and seatbelt light came on; i pressed on the accelerator and the car kicked into gear and kept going.
Fire started under the car somewhere between the engine and transmission.glow of the flame was towards the back of the engine compartment and towards the center of the car.fire worked its way forward and engulfed the engine compartment.car was in motion exiting from the highway onto an off ramp when issue was noticed.
Vehicle suddenly andbriefly died in heavy traffic at over 70mph. Slowed suddenly, then restarted by itself.could easily have been a life threatening incident. Second time this has happened.first time was a few months ago whenvehicle went completely dead.later that day, was towedto dealer and repaired under warranty. I amcurrently out of town working, and do not have access to the vehicle's vin.mileages and day of purchase wereestimates.
Taka airbags, tipm fuse box. Completely disables the vehicle. They have known about and have been running this part in many chrysler dodge jeep vehicles since 1995.my car is a 2007. It reckon havock on the whole electrical system. The dealer milks all of your 260 somthing sensors before replacing the tipm, totally integrated power module. And the sway bar disconnect is prone to water damage and shorting out because they let water in the assembly and short out then they charge you 1400 dollars for a new one. When it is just the actuator. A manual override is only 89.00.all of these problems are from the can buse c. 90 %of this vehicle problems are from this can buse c. But no recall on the tipm, sway bar actuator, or can buse c communication. This whole electrical system should be a recall. It is garbage. Over complicated and under nesasary! driving done the freeway and the whole dashboard lights up i pulled over turned car off and then would not turn back on. Goes in to a limp mode. I was worried that it wouldshut off or worse cause an accident or leave me stranded in the freeway! the airbag recall could set the airbag of wile driving causing you to crash.
At 75 mph the electrical and engine systemstopped functioning for 1-2 seconds, then resumed normal function.power assist to brakes and steering were lost for this time, at highway speed.
Engine stalltotal electrical failure at highway speed
My 2007 jeep wrangler has stalled a couple of times while driving, it turns off and then i have to turn it back on, it is scary that this happens while i am driving
My vehicle would not start on occasions. I will not know when this problem will occur.i have taken the vehicle to the dealer five (5) times since july 8, 2008 after they have told me the situation has been remedied. The battery andstarter have been changed before july 8, 2009. This problem started in 2008.
My2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4x4 sahara stalls often while driving .
2007 wrangler jk electronic throttle control warning illuminates followed by power loss while driving including complete engine shut-down in traffic. Dealer replaced electronic throttle control...problem came back - dealer #2 now replacing e.t.c. Wiring harness. According to bloggers problem is common and widespread. Also learned chrysler had a july 2007 recall of 80,000 vehicles which i was never informed of or recalled. I'm afraid on the highway at 55mph the engine will shut down and i will be hit from behind by an 18-wheeler. I live near and drive on i-95 just outside nyc, one of the heaviest traffic areas in the usa. I need help/resolution!!!
2007 4 door jeep wrangler. Noticed oil leak in february 20th. At first appearance assumed it was from oil change. As of now it appears it is a front main seal on the motor... Really! a 4yr. Old vehicle with 63,000 miles?! shouldn't be happening by my p.o.v...also, power windows have failed to function on two occasions. And, interior light doesn't come on when passenger side door is opened. Either way, thank you for your time.
Driving on the highway, my jeep dash lit up and it shutdown.i had to coast out of harms way and have it towed home as it would not re-start.been reading about tipm failures in my model year.seems to be related.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited all systems shut down while driving down the road without warning leaving no control of vehicle for 3-4 seconds then come back on.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler 4 dr x unlimited 4wd.i saw the recall notice for the vehicles stalling manufactured before jan 2007.my vehicle was manufactured i believe in may of 2007 and the stall has happened twice.radio goes off, engine died and all lights on the dash came on and appeared to reset. It's a manual transmission and the engine restarted because i was moving and still in gear.it only lasts about 2 seconds but during the time it is doing this the power steering is not functional.(i only know this because i was on a curved freeway on ramp during one of the times it did this.)i am only filing this complaint because it appears the recall (g25 i believe) does not seem to cover the full range of dates for affected vehicles as mine was manufactured in may of 2007.
2007 jeep wrangler sahara stalled unexpectedly on two occasions while driving at low speed.the first time in early march 2007 it was pouring rain and i went through a big puddle which sent water under the vehicle.the car cut off and all the dash light lit up, and the seat belt went off.the car started back up in about 2 seconds by itself.i have assumed the water shorted out for a few seconds and thought nothing else of it.the second time it happened was on june 10, 2007. We were slowing down atstop light and it just cut out.the dash lights came on , the anti-skid light and another red light)i though the car behind us rear ended us because there was a little jerk , rear tires locked. We had to restart to car.it started right up and we continued on.i haven't been to the dealer yet.i was researching theproblemon the internet and saw there had been 53 reports of the same thing happening so i figured i should report it also.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler 4dr 4wd that has stalled twice while traveling at highway speeds.the vehicle has less than 6,000 miles and i've reported the problem to the dealer and they say they can't find anything wrong with it.the first occurrence occurred during the day while traveling at approximately 65mph for over an hour.the vehicle cut out, all the dash lights came on, i lost power steering, and within 3 seconds the vehicle "re-started" itself on its own.the second occurrence occurred several months later while traveling at 70mph for over an hour.the incident occurred at night and the same thing happened. All the sudden the engine cut out, i lost headlights, and within 3 seconds the vehicle came back on and everything was fine.again, i reported to the dealer, at they couldn't find anything.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4. While the contact was driving approximately between 40-45 mph attempting to change lanes, the vehicle began to pull to the right violently. The contact was able to gain control and continue driving normally. The traction control, electronic stability control and abs warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The warning light remained illuminated until the engine was turned off. The authorized dealer and manufacturer were notified and stated the failure could be related to a faulty sensor and recommended the vehicle be diagnosed to determine the specific sensor. The approximate failure mileage was 61,000.
Occasional, apparent vehicle master computer reset occurs during normal driving.results in momentary stalling.this has happened about 5 times since i bought the car (in 2007).i have read that this known issue and the vendors claims to have issued software patches to resolve the problem.the patches have been applied to my vehicle but the problem still remains.i have had the car to several dealers for repair - they did not find anything they could fix and did not recommend replacing the computer.i want this problem on record in case a crash does at some point occur.
I own a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4 door and i have been reading often about something called the stall bug. I have had the vehicle since the end of february2007 and had no mechanical problems until i had approximately 5000 miles. I took a road trip to south carolina from nyc and was on the highway iin sc wheni felt a sudden loss of power . The dashboardlights came on ,and the radio and the engine shut off and restarted within a second on its own.i thought i was lucky enough to not get a jeep with this problembut it seems i was wrong.i hope something can be done about this. I read that people have brought their jeep to the dealer and they can't find anyting wrong.
June 22, 2007 wa s the first incident. The newly purchased 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited was stopped at an intersection.the engine spontaneously shut off.my wife had to turn the key to the off position, then restart the engine.i immediately scheduled a service appointment at the car dealer.the service representative said that the chryslertechniciandetermine d the problem to be the fuel injection wiring harness.it was replaced.on july 7, 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited shut off again, while driving at approximately 75 mph on thefreeway.this wasa 100 degree day.i pulled to the side of the road, stopped the vehicle and restarted the engine.
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).
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler.while driving 40 mph the vehicle lost power on two occasions without warning.an electrical failure caused the failure since the vehicle restarts automatically.the contact didn't indicate if the vehicle was diagnosed by a dealer.the failure mileage was 4,500 and the current mileage is 6,500. Updated 02-01-08.
Our jeep has stalled while driving on the freeway and while sitting at idle. It is accompanied by the dashboard lighting up like a christmas tree and then the entire electrical system going out. This includes the headlights extinguishing at high speeds on the freeway--very scary.
Engine stalled, loss of power when driving at any speed.
Jeep 2007 wrangler stalled and would not start up.it isa week old and has 600 miles.
Driving to work, automatic, and the engine stalled all dash lights came on, radio went out along with power brakes and steering. It felt like it was in neutral but i was in drive. It lasted about 2 seconds them restarted itself and was "normal" for the rest of the day. This could of been a huge problem if i were on a steep hill (up or down) or in heavy traffic. There seems to be a lot of people having this problem, if you want to see more go to any jeep jk unlimited 4 door forum and do a search for the "stall bug".
Driving approx 30-45 miles per hour.while car was in motion all the dashboard lights (all the warning lights) flashed on and then went off and then the fuel level went to zero and the low fuel level light remained on. Put the car in park, turned car off then turned the car on and everything appeared to be working as normal.incident occurred 2 times in 3 mths.1st time power steering went out and break was difficult to push down.contacted chrysler and opened case.dealership cannot replicate the problem ? suggest i remove the key chains.call back if i experience the problem again.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler.the fire started under the hood on the drivers side of the vehicle. The fire department stated that the fire was electrical. The vehicle was destroyed. An authorized inspector diagnosed the failure and submitted a notice by mail stating that there was no defect and no repairs would becovered by the warranty. The insurance rendered the vehicle a total lost. Vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 35,000.
While driving at highway speedjeep lostpower andall dash lights come on ,and radio turned off.engine still running but no power. Lastedabout 3-4 seconds. Then everything returnedto normal.this has happened four times in the last seven months!
Twice during the first 7400 milesthe 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited shut off while driving.incident #1 - i was slowing down to turn into driveway when the engine and electronics in the vehicle turned off for 1-2 seconds.when electrical power was restored all of the indicator lights on the dashboard illuminated as if i had just turned the key to the on position.the dealer said that they could not duplicate the problem, so no fix was attempted.incident # 2 - my wife was stopped at a traffic light when the vehicle turned off and stayed off.she attempted to restart the vehicle, but could not since the transmission was still in drive.she had to shift into park in order to restart the vehicle.we took the vehicle to the dealer for service the following morning and were once again told that they could not duplicate the problem, so no fix was attempted.the vehicle has been to the dealer twice for this problem, and i have lost 3 days of vehicle service because of this problem.chrysler says that the dealer must investigate and fix the problem, but all the dealer wants to do is claim that there is no problem because no trouble codes are stored in the computer and they can't duplicate the problem.in the meantime my wife and i are driving a vehicle that we feel is unsafe due to the risk of losing control of the vehicle during one of these incidents.
On this date i had ussues with the electronic throttle control, stared jeep and the etc light came on , enginge ran rought then died , did this aprox 3 times,then read manual for guidance, it said to cycle the key a few times . Then tried again , ran ok but seems to be holding back, reading online posts this is a common problem, a stall in traffic could be fatal ,need n open recall on all models and years,i am now hesitant to drive it. And knowing my dealership it will bea figment of my imagination or they will use me for an atm$$$$
Vehicle power turned off- stalled- radio went out, lights came on and vehicle did not completely shut down.
When turning on jeep the starter keeps going, have to turn off key and restart to get it to quit.seems like the starter locks?
My jeep has stalled on me three times total in about 9 months of ownership.each time, i have been on a road trip and driving for an extensive period of time.the radio goes out, the jeep shuts off, all the lights on the dash come on and within about 3 seconds it turns itself on again.i am taking it in for service to have the tipm reprogrammed which i hope will correct the situation.
I was driving toward a red light, and slowing down at 35 mph, i andhad my father in the vehicle when the radio shut off, there was a slight jerk in the vehicle, all the lights on the dash came on, and then everything continued like normal.i had 1/8 of a tank of gas, and it was 87 degrees out.this was the third time that my vehicle stalled.the last time i was reversing out of a space, and damage was caused.
On four occasions since purchasing the vehicle, while driving at highway speeds, the engine has stalled and all of the electrical components lost power for about 1.5 to 2 seconds. Everything then returned to normal operation. When this occurs, all of the dash lights come on as though the ignition key was in the "on" position, as it is just before starting the car, then all returned to normal. This is a frightening experience at highway speeds. Should a driver be in the midst of an emergency maneuver during one of these occurrences, a serious accident can happen.this first happened in december , and the dealer where the vehicle was purchased replaced the ignition switch, but this has happened three additional times, the last being the date listed on this complaint. The service department at the dealership has been notified and the service representative has informed me that he noted all four reported incidents in the computer system.
6 months prior, vehicle would randomly not start. Noticed corrosion on battery, cleaned and replaced connection parts.it worked fine until today.power locks went out.checked fuse, was blown.noticed more corrosion on battery on opposite side this time.tried replacing fuse and it blew as we were replacing it (sparks coming out of connection, melting a prong).cleaned off battery corrosion and got absolutely no power to the vehicle when tried to start it.cleaned in between battery/wire connections and when reassembling the horn, wipers, coolant fan, and lights would randomly go on & off.vehicle would randomly have power to start, then would not work again.ended up towing it to dealer, without power.currently waiting for diagnosis.
My wife and i have experienced at least five (5) incidents where the vehicle engine stalls/kills and either restarts itself or has bemanually restarted via ignition key.the symptoms mirror exactly those described in nhtsa action number pe07027. (driving on highway when vehicle dash lights up as if freshly started, and sometimes needs to be manually restarted, and sometimes has restarted itself)the first incident was experienced by my wife in august of 2009, and the vehicle was subsequently inspected by jeep dealer [xxx] motors of minocqua, wi, who after inspection and road test reported "no trouble found." (per my invoice dated 8/24/09)at that point the vehicle was under warranty with 33,054 miles on the odometer, and i was charged $35.25 for that service item.the most recent incident occurred october 14, 2013, and was witnessed by my son.in that case i was driving approximately 75 mph on i-70 approaching i-15 in utah when the engine stalled.the vehicle needed to be manually restarted via key.that was the 3rd incident i've experienced in the past 5 months.
Long crank/start and low engine idle (near stalling). Dealer said they fixed (at 300 miles, but problem persists after being in shop one week ago (total of 900 miles). Chrysler corp is not interested in telling customers about the problems before you buy. They sell you the vehicle and get your money, then try to fix, but they have my money now and could care less.
The jeep sat in my drive way for half hour before i took it out. Got 200 yards from my home and i lost power steering,horn and wipers going off with out touching any of them then the jeep shut off and smoke poured out from the passenger side of the engine compartment. Lifted the hood and the right side of the inner fender wason fire! with in minutes the right side of the jeep engine compartment was destroyed. The fuse box , battery, and wiring harness where destroyed. The fire department said it started in the fuse box. This jeep is completely stock and as been perfect till this! never any issues in the year half i own it!
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4.the manufacturer stated that the odometer disclosure on the vehicle was 84 miles and that the contact was not the original owner.the dealer stated that the odometer disclosure was 10 miles.the current mileage was 35,019 and the failure mileage was inapplicable.
Was driving at highway speeds 65 mph all dash lights flashed on and radio cut out. Happened for a few seconds, then everything went back to normal.i believe the engine kept running and did not cut out.
Vehicle power turned off- stalled- radio went out, lights came on and vehicle did not completely shut down.
I had no previous problems with the vehicle stalling.the vehicle was running with no noticable difference the day of the incident.i was pulling off from a traffic light and i felt the power from the engine cut out.i looked at my instruments and the tach dropped to zero and all the instrument lights went out.no more than one to two full seconds later all of the instrument lights came on and went through the normal sequence like the vehicle was just started.the engine came back to life and the vehicle ran as though there was no problem.i took the vehicle to the dealer and they said it did not store a code in the computer and they could not replicate the prblem.i have had no other failures.i don't remember the exact date of the failure, but i am sure i have a copy of the service record in my glove box from when i took it to the dealer.i will be happy to cooperate with any investigation and provide the documentation if needed.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4.while driving 55 mph, all of the lights on the dashboard illuminated.the vehicle then stalled and shut off.the failure occurred on two occasions.the vehicle restarted and operated normally.the dealer has not diagnosed the failure, but the contact has scheduled an appointment.the vehicle does not have cruise control.the current mileage is 4,800 and failure mileage was 1,800.updated 06/08/07.
Driving home on a friday, all the dash lights came on, the speedometer; tach, odometer and temp gauge stopped working.it kept running, so i drove it home.got home, would not restart with either key.remotes did not work either.had it towed to the dealer.they were too busy to look at it, they said maybe monday!monday and now they have to call the tech line, never seen this problem before.i had the reflash done for the stall bug at 12k, 4k ago.like the vehicle, but too many electronic and software bugs!!i am starting to wonder if we should be reimbursed for doing jeep's development testing.with these types of issues making it to the field, i wonder what they found during development that we don't know about.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited x, automatic with 10,500 miles.i was traveling down an on ramp going about 40mph, light on the throttle and the jeep hesitated, all of the gauges (speedometer, etc) shut off (showed 0), then all of the dash lights came on.during that 2 second period, i had no power steering, brakes or control over the throttle of the jeep.this could have been much worse.i know there is a recall that covers this, but my jeep falls out of the production date to get it taken care of.the "build" date is feb. Of 2007.i am not the only one with the problem and the current recall is not taking care of this issue.this needs to be address before someone (like my family) gets seriously hurt.http://www.jk-forum.com/showthread.php?t=2634.
While driving 65 mph the 2007 jeep wrangler stalled , and all of the dash lights came on, while the engine continued running. Power came back on within a couple of seconds. Thisoccurredtwicein 3 months.
On two separate occasions i was driving less than 10 mph and coming to a stop when the engine stalled for no apparent reason.i was aware of this potential hazard due to my research on jk-forum.com where other 2007 jeep wrangler owners have experienced similar problems to mine.i experienced the engine stalling issue around 3700 miles and a second time at approximately 7500 miles. No check engine light comes on, i just shift into neutral and restart the vehicle and continue to drive.however i cannot replicate this stall condition and i'm nervous about it happening at higher speeds.
When coasting to a stop, going uphill on a highway, the brake pedal locks-up when you put your foot on the brake.after a few seconds, it releases and brakes normally.this has happened 3 times at the same intersection (may 2007, august 2007, sept. 2007).all three times resulted in near-miss accidents.the vehicle was in for repair for this problem, but the dealer could not replicate it.even though he could not replicate the problem, the service manager advised us to get rid of the car because it was an obvious safety issue.on 9/14, while the car was still at the dealer, chrysler announced a recall for this incident and advised customers that had experienced this problem to take the car to the dealer immediately.ours has now been there for 6 weeks, with no end in sight.we have also had the engine stall when traveling on a twisty road near our residence. This has happened 1 time. This problem has occurred in the same model as ours, but was believed to have been addressed before ours was built.however, we still have the problem and no solution from chrysler.
While driving on flat paved roadat 45 mph and it turned itself off for about 2 seconds and then came back on.completely dead,it came back on by itself, (i guess inertia fired it back up as it has an automatic transmission.called the dealership the next day, and they were unaware of any similar incidents.no dummy lights stayed on, so i didn't go by the dealership.please see http://www.jk-forum.com/show thread.php?t=2634 and http://www.jk-forum.com/show thread.php?t=3187 for more instances.

While driving my 2007 jeep x unlimited w/ automatic transmission, build date 12/06,on a long trip engine had been running for 4 hours straight. Approached a stop light at about 35 mph and engine stalled. All dash lights came on and radio cut out. I had my ipod hooked up to the auxiliaryjack. Had over 1/4 tank of gas.
My jeep has died on me 3 times:1) in jan 07; 2 mos after i bought it-while in transit on the freeway @ 70mph all power was lost, engine shut down, lasted about 5 sec. It came back on-on its own while still moving. 2) 03/07 while in transit, @ 10mph shut down, had to put it in park and restart it.3) may 07- while aproaching a red light, it shut down, had to put it in park and restart it.every single time its ocurred i have taken it in the the service dept and they are unable to find the malfunction.the third instance, they installed an autopilot- to record the malfunction, but on ly let me keep it for 1 1/2 weeks because the service department only has 1 in the whole shop, and they cannot spare me the autopilot for the length of time that it might take for the issue to reocurr, of course nothing happened.i believe that this customer service is a joke, & feel it is a major hazard, to continue to drive around like this, i fear that it may stall while on the freeway and get hit by another traveling vehicle.another issue is the ignition/starter, it seems to randomly get stuck- and sounds as though i am still turning the key when my hand is not even touching it. I am frustraded with this lemon and would like to know who else is having the same issues- because i am not getting any solutions from the service department & manufacturer.
While traveling at night down a county road at approximately 60 mph the headlights went off for almost a second, the dash lights lit up like a christmas tree, the engine bogged and all accessories went off,and then came back on as if the ignition had just been turned on. The engine's power returned, and it continued as if nothing happened. The brake light stayed illuminated for 3-5 minutes after. Prior to this, there was a similar incident, though it was in the daylight and i was unable to see the dash lights light up or the headlights come on, however the engine bogged and the bas light lit up.the problem is intermittent and i have not yet had an opportunity to take the vehicle to the dealership yet.
I have an 07 wrangler unlimited jk. The vehicle stalled while i was driving it. Luckily i was only going about 20mph thru a parking lot when incident occurred.. I have also lost all of power to dash while windows were being rolled up.i took it to the dealer and they repaired problem w/ a computer flash.
The jeep jk 2007 stalls at highway sppeds.i have read about it on a website.it has occurred to me only onceit happened after 2 hours of 65 mph driving.the jeep slowly seemed to lose power then suddenly shut off and back on again.it has not happened since.
My family and i were driving up an off road trail out of telluride, colorado, when the jeep suddenly lost all power, many dash lights illuminated the vehicle acted like the engine shut off.the engine, however, was still idling at approximately 1000 rpm's, however when the gas pedal was pressed, the rpm's would not rise, the engine's rpms would not audibly increase and no power was transferred to the wheels.this caused the jeep to cease any forward movement and force me to roll backward to a small pull out on the single lane, mountain-side road.i put the transmission in park, shut off the engine with the keyed ignition, waited approximately 2 mintutes and restarted the jeep.upon restart, the jeep regained all normal function, all ofthe dash lights which had been previously illuminated (minus the transmission light) had shut off.the jeep was turned around eventually and driven back down the mountain. Had this failure happened on a different pass--one much steeper and with no cutouts such as "black bear pass" (which is nearby and where were heading), this failure could have been fatal.it is this author's opinion this "stall bug", at least on my vehicle, is attributed to the transfer case and/or transmission heating up.this is attributed to these facts:a smell was noticed just a short time before the engine quit.the transfer case was in "4hi" (four wheel drive - high range) prior to the engine quitting.after the engine stalled, the transfer case was put in "4lo" (four wheel drive - low range) and the problems ceased.since this stall, all off road excursions have been in "4lo" and the stall bug has not re-appeared, despite the fact that steeper hills in more inhospitable terrainin the same weather have been driven over with no repeat of the stall bug.further, the distinct smell which was noticed just prior to the stall bug occuring has not been noticed since then (when utilizing 4lo).
2007 jeep jk 4-doorhas stalled a couple of times.i've started my jeep about 10 times and the starter continues to run.i need to turn off the jeep for this to stop.
The 2007 4 door jeep wrangler diedat a light after i had it about one month.throughout my ownership the starter or ignition , i didn't know which,stuck when tryingto start it periodically.the biggest concernwas that last weekend while driving on the interstate at about 70 mph the engine got really loud for a minute and then all ofthe dashboard lights flew on.i believed that the engine had started to stall but then caught.i took vehicleto the dealership, and they couldn't recreate the problem, ran diagnostics, and then searched the jeep database and found nothing.if youinvestigated the internet therewere dozens of people whowere having the same problems.two people ny and minnesotacontacted me and said that the problem was the throttle control.one of them stated that his dealership had called the jeep help line and got it fixed.therefore, i knew that it should be in their database - but it wasn't showing when searched as being done by dealerships.iwas scared that one of these times while i wason the interstate the enginewas going to dieandsteering will go out.on the jeep websites, numerous people have actually had to restart their engines while driving.
I started my car and attempted to pull out of the driveway when the engine light turned on and the car began to shake.i stopped the car, kept the engine on andlet it sit for a 5 minutes and warm up.i put it in drive again and made it 1 block when the engine light started blinking, the engine began to sputter, and smoke was seen coming out of the muffler and hood of my jeep.i opened the hood only to be consumed with the smell a gas. When the tow truck driver arrived, he explained that i was very lucky as the car engine would have caught on fire if i would have continued to drive one more block. The dealership initially thought it was the fuel igniter, as it was found stuck open.they ended up replacing the wiring for the electrical systemthat controlled the igniter instead.so far it's running fine.
Abs, traction control and esp lights all went on and stayed on.i do not believe that any of these systems was working, as the vehicle spun out at under 40 miles per hour on damp pavement the day after lights went on.took vehicle to dealership, and was told it was a wiring problem.charge was more than $300.00.told i had to pay because i had more than $36,000 miles on vehicle.
I was driving a 2009 jeep wrangler and the low tire pressure light came on. I filled the tires to the specified amount and drove down the road. The jeep all of a sudden violently shook back and fourth to the point i could barley hold on to the steering wheel. I was able to stop the vehicle, visually check the wheels and drive away and problem went away. I believe what i experienced was the "death wobble." now recently my father was driving the same jeep and it happened to him 3 times on a road trip without the tire pressures being changed. He took it to the dealership and they replace the steering stabilizer. I believe this is just a fix to the damage that was caused by the jeeps malfunctions and they did not fix anything to prevent the wobble from happening again.
Purchased 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited new, but vehicle had been modified by the selling dealer with a 4" skyjacker lift kit.on second day of driving vehicle, began experiencing inappropriate activation of the electronic stability program.vehicle automatically brakes on certain freeway on ramps and highway curves, both while braking and accelerating.vehicle has been seen both by the selling dealer and one other dealer and problem has not been cured.chrysler customer service give no assistance and tells me that as the vehicle was modified by the dealer, i must work this out with the dealer.numerous internet websites describes this same problem with other lifted jeep wranglers.selling dealer has advised they have done all they can.
As i was driving down the highway, i hit a bump and my whole jeep rapidly rattled back and forth across the road, nearly causing multiple accidents.it startled me severely, and i slammed on my brakes, slowly decelerating. It took until i got down to 25mph for it to stop shimmying.i pulled off the highway into the nearest gas station, checked my tire pressure and made sure there were no identifiable obtrusions that would affect performance, and carried on, very cautiously.this happens quite often, sometimes going as low at 45mph, but only when something in the road knocks it off balance.i do not feel safe in my jeep at all.
The sway bar will not reconnect on my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited jk rubicon making it unsafe to drive at freeway speed.
2007 jeep wrangler 4x4 safari with esp (electronic stability program). Esp intermittently turns on by itself and can't be turned off. It will eventually turn itself off. Dealer tells me it's caused by a defective clock spring in the steering column, which also controls the steering wheel air bag, cruise control and the horn! i feel this is a safety concern, if any of these devices quit working, because of a defective clock spring!!!!
Air bag light is on,horn stopped working,esp and bak light is on n none of codes can be cleared
I was driving with friends when i noticed that the vehicle was not functioning properly. Overheating, ac stopped working, and an odd speed fluctuation. I informed the people i was with that i was going to drive to the main road. Before i got there, about 50 feet, the whole vehicle was engulfed in flames. The flames went over the top of the jeep. Luckily the flames died down briefly enough for me to jump out . I lost everything in the jeep and the jeep itself. Upon contacting jeep, they said it wasn't their fault rather it was my fault. Clearly something malfunctioned and i almost lost my life.

I was able to stop the vehicle, visually check the wheels and drive away and problem went away. I believe what i experienced was the "death wobble." now recently my father was driving the same jeep and it happened to him 3 times on a road trip without the tire pressures being changed. He took it to the dealership and they replace the steering stabilizer. I believe this is just a fix to the damage that was caused by the jeeps malfunctions and they did not fix anything to prevent the wobble from happening again.
Instrument panel goes haywire,flickers, gauges go crazy(random) instrument panel goes out completely at start up and shifter is stuck in park position. When disconnecting the battery and reconnecting resets tipm and will then go back to normal.when turned off same problem again. Engine has stalled while driving also.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited randomly stalls.dash lights light up and engine stalls with complete loss of power steering and braking--this has occurred at 60 mph and as low as 10 mph.has been taken to dealership and they cannot replicate the issue.it continues to be a problem.
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. Driving on the highway the other day and 3 different malfunction indicator lights came on in a matter of seconds, jeep powered off. No power steering or brakes, traveling approximately 60 mph. 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.what is chrysler going to do about these issues.?
Esp computer system failure, faulty abs module, electrical failure.
Taka airbags, tipm fuse box. Completely disables the vehicle. They have known about and have been running this part in many chrysler dodge jeep vehicles since 1995.my car is a 2007. It reckon havock on the whole electrical system. The dealer milks all of your 260 somthing sensors before replacing the tipm, totally integrated power module. And the sway bar disconnect is prone to water damage and shorting out because they let water in the assembly and short out then they charge you 1400 dollars for a new one. When it is just the actuator. A manual override is only 89.00.all of these problems are from the can buse c. 90 %of this vehicle problems are from this can buse c. But no recall on the tipm, sway bar actuator, or can buse c communication. This whole electrical system should be a recall. It is garbage. Over complicated and under nesasary! driving done the freeway and the whole dashboard lights up i pulled over turned car off and then would not turn back on. Goes in to a limp mode. I was worried that it wouldshut off or worse cause an accident or leave me stranded in the freeway! the airbag recall could set the airbag of wile driving causing you to crash.
2007 jeep wrangler four door.when driving at highway speed and during a turn if you encounter a small bump the vehicle suddenly shakes to the point where you lose control in the turn.it is known as the death shake to the dealerships.they knew what was wrong before i had finished my sentence to them.bad front shock stabilizer.they are poorly manufactured.
See attached document.the consumer stated the vehicle stalled on several occasions. The dealer was unable to duplicate the stalling problem. The consumer then received a recall regarding the totally integrated power module. The document stated the vehicle was programmed with software that may cause the engine to stall under certain operating conditions. The vehicle was reprogrammed. Soon after, the esp and bas control lights illuminated on the dashboard.afterwards, the traction control system light illuminated.
3.8l v6 engine burns excessive amount of oil over 1 quart every 1000 miles.the oil also destroys the four oxygen sensors which have to replaced every 75k miles and catalytic converter $500.my rear exhaust drips oil and the engine compartment reeks of burn oil.this issue has devalued my vehicle worse than the vw diesel software scandal. Also the oil light it set to come on when the oil pressure reaches 0 psi of pressure, whats the point to let you know you just damaged your engine? so stupid.the dealer told me this excessive oil consumption is normal and printed out a statement from chrysler's engineering department stating motors over 50k miles will burn 1 quart of oil every 750 miles.how does this jeep pass pollution smog tests?on the plus side there are less mosquitoes in my neighborhood, but who will pay for my lung cancer when i'm 50 years old?
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.
Driving on i-40 approximately 60 mph. Vehicle began to emit dark smoke from rear of vehicle. When slowing the vehicle down to safely exit highway, dash lights flashed and engine stopped resulting in loss of all power and steering. Was forced to steer vehicle to side of off ramp and when coming to a complete stop, the right side of the engine compartment by the front window burst into flames. Fortunately a tow truck company was very close by, witnessed the incident, and attempted to extinguish the fire along with a driver from a local cable company. Blaze was eventually controlled once the fire department arrived on scene. After researching this incident, i am very thankful no one was physically injured. Given the number of similar reports, it would seem the public should be notified of the real risk with these vehicles before anyone else is injured or killed.
Driving at 35mph dash illuminates random lights, speed odometer fluctuates back and forth 0 to current speed, dash board dings and car slows and spontaneously stalls. Restarts immediately. This first incident occurred ages months back without stalling now is happening frequently . Will not be driving this car again until problem is identified and fixed, too risky.
Fire started under the car somewhere between the engine and transmission.glow of the flame was towards the back of the engine compartment and towards the center of the car.fire worked its way forward and engulfed the engine compartment.car was in motion exiting from the highway onto an off ramp when issue was noticed.
Engine oil not registered on dip stick when checked. Had to add 3 quarts of oil to get to register to bottom of dip stick. Oil has been changed every 3-6k miles since took ownership in 2007. Engine light does not come on when oil is low. Problem experienced a 2nd time 5/26/2012.checked oil and no engine oil on dipstick. Oil was changed/filled on 1/19/2012 (have records from mechanic) and only approximately 5k miles drive in that time and again 3 quarts required to even get oil to register on dip stick and again engine oil light never came on in past 5 months since last oil change. Engine appears to be "burning through" excessive amount of oil with no indication of low oil in vehicle at any time.
Repetitive oil leak, i am told by the dealership that the gaskets are bad, they have been replaced 4 times. Oil leaks about 1 qtr per week and has to be added in order for engine not to malfunction.
Had to add oil at nearily every fillup. The dealer said that was normal to add oil every 1000 miles!!!ended up short on oil, oil light never went on and trashed engine. It made a horrible knocking noise.i replaced it at a cost of $6118 as the car only had 49560 miles on it.
There is an issue with the valve lifters that cause a ticking or knocking sound while stationary & in motion.worse while in motion,we have been told by two different mechanics that to repair the issue the engine has to be disassembled.
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.
I was driving to workon the freeway going around 60mph, hit a small bump and the jeep started to shake so violently my heart went out of my chest.i flipped on my hazards and made my way over to the slow lane, but the shaking stopped.when i arrived to work, i researched the "shaking" and found another name for it, "death wobble."i can't believe there hasn't been a recall on the parts that cause this, it hasn't caused any fatalities yet; but it will.
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.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4 door lost all power while driving on interstate.the radio blacked out, lost all power for a couple of seconds, all dash lights came on, then off.it was like transmission slipped into neutral.very dangerous!!!!!!
While driving on the highway at 70 mph (cruise control enabled) the car started surging as if someone were pumping the gas pedal.it did this for approximately 10 seconds then the engine died.i was in traffic and it took a few seconds to figure out what had happened.i was lucky to have a manual transmission because the second i pressed on the clutch i lost all power steering and power brake function.i was in the middle of traffic and cars started passing me on either side.this could have easily led to an accident.i will be taking it in to the dealer asap.
At approximately 8,100 miles, while driving through a subdivision at 25 mph, vehicle engine shut off and restarted. Also had loss of power steering and the radio turned off. Both returned once the engine restarted.no action taken on my part, but vehicle speed did slow.total time from shutdown to restart was one or two seconds.have not scheduled dealer service yet.
When driving engine will just stall,it seem to be about every two to three weeks.this has happen at lest 9 times, and not at the same speeds,one time i almost hit the back of a truck (lost of power brakes). It has also been at the dealer 5 times.each time they say we got it now, you should be all set now(not).this 4 door jeep sucks.maybe something will be done when a few people die in an crash, i hope not, but it will happen sooner or later.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited engine stalled on road while traveling at 55 mph. Dash lights came on, speedo read zero. Lost all power. Engine started back up about a second or two later. Happened at about 3,200 miles on odometer. No one can fix it because the stall can not be replicated.
Driving at highway speed, radio suddenly went off, all of the dashboard warning lights lit up, and i lost all power to the car.this lasted long enough for me to realize there was a problem and shift the automatic trans. Into neutral.the car regained power within a few seconds, i shifted back into drive, and went less than a mile to the dealer.they put it directly on the analyzer, no fault was detected.it was a clear day and my headlights were on.
2007 jeep wrangler sahara stalled unexpectedly on two occasions while driving at low speed.the first time in early march 2007 it was pouring rain and i went through a big puddle which sent water under the vehicle.the car cut off and all the dash light lit up, and the seat belt went off.the car started back up in about 2 seconds by itself.i have assumed the water shorted out for a few seconds and thought nothing else of it.the second time it happened was on june 10, 2007. We were slowing down atstop light and it just cut out.the dash lights came on , the anti-skid light and another red light)i though the car behind us rear ended us because there was a little jerk , rear tires locked. We had to restart to car.it started right up and we continued on.i haven't been to the dealer yet.i was researching theproblemon the internet and saw there had been 53 reports of the same thing happening so i figured i should report it also.
2007 4 door sahara has stalled on several occasions while driving.i have already taken vehicle in several times to have problem dealt with for recall. Still not fixed.7/28 at 7:56 pm,9/25 at 2:38 p.m, 11/13 at 7:58 am,1/12/08 at 4:07 p.m.help very unsafe!!!
When driving my 2007 jeep, it has 2x, completely shut off while going about 70 mph in traffic. I took it to bondy's jeep dothan, looked at by service depart. And given back - nothing wrong. The second time, returned to bondy's, some wiring harnesses were replaced. Then recall was issued, took it back-they fixed recall. Continued to have issues, been to bondy's eight times. It has not shut completely off again that was pretty scary - but the dashboard lights up with errors and i lose power everything (air conditioner, signals, radio, entire control panel, etc?). The same thing happened when it shut off completely, so my concern is that it will happen again. If i were to pull out onto a highway, that could be it. Please advise me on what action i need to take. Following is a timeline of what has been going on. I have not been able to get anyone from jeep to call me to help me with this issue. I have only been working third party with my local jeep dealer, who has been great, but has not yet solved any issues. 4/14/2007 jeep cuts completely off while going 70 mph on hwy 431 all cluster lights lit up. 4/15/2007 jeep cuts off completely again pulling out of the grocery store parking lot. 4/17/2007 took it to bondy's. Got it back on 4/19/2007. Service dept stated it was fixed. 4/26/2007 all clusters lit up like before but did not shut off. No air conditioner, radio, nothing electric worked. Took to bondy's. 7/11/2007 same thing 7/12/2007 recall received by mail, took to bondy's. 8/2/2007 it happened again. 8/3/2007 took to bondy's left it with the service dept. Do not have it back yet. It has been at bondy's 39 days total since time of purchase, in the service dept.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4. While driving approximately 15 mph, the contact smelled a strong electrical burning odor and noticed smoke emitting from the steering wheel. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road and the contact inspected under the hood where there were large flames found. The vehicle was destroyed. The fire department extinguished the fire and informed the contact that the fire originated within the engine compartment. The vehicle was towed to a savage facility. The manufacturer was notified of the malfunction. The failure mileage and vin were unavailable.
Vehicle stalled while driving at highway speed for about 1-2 seconds.
I had my vehicle electrical and brakes cut out 3 times (almost in an accident twice). I spoke to a dealership near me 3 times and one time they tried to replicate it.they said they did not know what caused it.through searching on this site, i found that it was a common problem and a recall (g25-reprogram tipm-engine stall) to fix it.the dealership played dumb to the issue until proof was shown, but still would not fix it because my vin# did not match recall specific list.chrysler also would not ok them to fix it (ref#16730876) because i did not have the right vin#, eventhough it is the right model, year, symptoms, etc.chrysler did not care that it was a safety issue and that it could be solved.i was told to try to replicate it for the dealership.concerned for safety, i went back to the dealership where i bought it.they instantly knew about the issue described and reprogrammed the tipm with no charge (they obviously understood the danger).chrysler needs to expand their recall list and change its policy on such a dangerous situation.luckily there was some humanity still around at the place where i bought it.
Purchased brand new 2007 4door jeep wrangler.it has stalled while driving on 5 separate occasions.we have taken it back to the dealer, and each time been told it was fixed.this car is a death trap and we refuse to drive it.dealer wont take it back so now we need to go to court.the severity of this is not showing....this vehicle stalls at high rates of speed on highways...no light ...no power steering...no brakes...nothing......someone is going to die or kill some one.and chrysler doesn't care.help.
At a stop sign, the engine died. I tried to start it again, but the console remained blank and nothing happened. I had to push it off the road. After trying 5-6 more times, it finally started. There was no warning this would happened; it was very sudden. I'm afraid that this will happen on the highway. It could be very dangerous. The vehicle was completely dead for approx. 5 mins. The electric windows still worked during this time.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler 4 dr x unlimited 4wd.i saw the recall notice for the vehicles stalling manufactured before jan 2007.my vehicle was manufactured i believe in may of 2007 and the stall has happened twice.radio goes off, engine died and all lights on the dash came on and appeared to reset. It's a manual transmission and the engine restarted because i was moving and still in gear.it only lasts about 2 seconds but during the time it is doing this the power steering is not functional.(i only know this because i was on a curved freeway on ramp during one of the times it did this.)i am only filing this complaint because it appears the recall (g25 i believe) does not seem to cover the full range of dates for affected vehicles as mine was manufactured in may of 2007.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4.while driving 60 mph, the engine shut off.the contact took the vehicle to the mechanic.the mechanic is unable to duplicate the failure.the current mileage is 12,900 and failure mileage was 12,650.
While driving my 2 month old jeep wrangler 4-door unlimited sahara on the nj turnpike doing 65 mph the power to the call totally shut off and all engine lights came on.i could not steer or brake.after approx. 5-10 seconds, the power came back on without me doing anything.i took the car to the dealer (mcdonagh in east brunswick, nj) two times and they told me they ran all the tests and that the vehicle is operating as designed.they did not fix the issue nor replace the car.the car is 2 months old with 5,000 miles on it.
Car engine stalls ...gauge lights flash...loss of power steering, brakes. Inotice the problem mostly when entering/exitingturns and when i have driven in sand.
While driving my 07 jeep wrangler unlimited with 3,400 miles on it at 65 mph the electrical system momentarily cut out then all lights came on, chimes starting going, and horn was honking for a few seconds then everything went back to normal except my check engine light came on.unfortunately it was sunday and i couldn't have the computer read.on monday the check engine light was off.
2007 jeep wrangler x stalled at highway speedthis vehicle had had the recall for possible stalls done prior to this stalling! he was able to jump the vehicle to start.
Running vehicle at highway speed (60 mph), vehicle shut down immediately, leading to loss in steering and braking.engine rpm's went to zero.about 4 seconds later, vehicle started back up at normal operating rpm's for speed and gear selection (6 th gear, 60 mph, 2600 rpm).
While driving 2007 jeep wrangler engine stalls leaving car without power to brake or steer until restarted.
My 2007 jeep wrangler 4 door has stalled 5 times since i bought it new on november 5 2006. It has happened at night with the headlights on, during the day with the headlights off, on the interstate, and in my subdivision traveling under 20 mph. When the vehicle stalls the dash lights up like a christmas tree, the transmission goes into neutral and the engine revs and the steering and power brakes are gone. This episode lasts for 3-5 seconds then the vehicle resumes normal operation. I have taken it to the dealer the 4th time this happened and of course no code was stored to diagnose so they checked the connectors and said that was all they could do. The 5th time the vehicle did this i had it towed to the dealership. I spoke the service associate on the telephone and they said they dad not heard of any other incidents of this nature. I called chrysler and they also had no knowledge. I find that unbelievable because with a simple search on the internet brings up tons of exact complaints. I hope this problem can be fixed. I will not let my family ride in this vehicle until it has.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler and i have had continuous problems from it. From about 2000 miles till now 12000 miles i have had stalling problems. Usually while doing 65 or better on the interstate. It happens at different times not predictable at all. I brought it to three different dealerships and called a few extra. No one has heard of it and said that it checks out fine. I recently moved to alaska for my career and drove the jeep up here. It stalled three times on the way up here. All at speeds 55 or higher. And in oregon the jeep began making loud noises at low speeds. I brought it in there. They said there was an abs recall and reset it. No explanation for the stalling. The stalling and noise still continues. First week in alaska my park quit working. 5 days later works fine. Dealership has no answer of any of the problems. To them it worked fine. It has a mind of its own and unfortunately it wont do it for them. I even suggested they keep it for a few days but they wouldn't. I called chrysler they said it needs to be diagnosed with a problem before they can help me out. I read similar problems with other owners on a forum and they said to contact you guys.
It started with a slight knock in the engine at first start up.it would go away after a few minutes. That lasted about 3-4 weeks. Until one start up the engine would not stop ticking, by the time i arrived home the engine was knocking violently. Oil levels were fine. Had the jeep towed to the dealership to have the engine inspected, to see if it would be covered under warranty. The tech did an inspection and i was told that the engine spun 2 connecting rod bearings, bent 4 rods, damaged 4 pistons, damage to crank, and almost all oil passages in engine were clogged by metal debris. This was the first time the factory seal on the engine was opened. The dealership contacted chrysler and told them the situation. I spoke with chrysler many times over the month span that the jeep was at the dealership,i also had the dealership fax almost 20 other cases to the claims dept. That i have done research on the same situation and provided the vehicle year, make, and mileage including all of my sources. Chrysler told me that they would not cover the engine repair because of the mileage and that i was not the first owner of the vehicle,the jeep has 53k on it. No one at the dealership could tell me the reason why this happened, or how i caused the engine to self destruct. I was told by another mechanic that the oil ports inside the engine going to the crank were designed too small, and this is why the crank bearings were failing. I have taken the jeep to another mechanic, he advised that a new engine should be installed. He tried to order a new engine from his supplier, but was told they are on a national backorder and that it would take about a week to receive a new one. He was told that chrysler is very aware of the situation and has refused to take any action as of now.
My engine in a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited had faulty bearings which caused the engine to blow. *ln
Engine stalltotal electrical failure at highway speed
My complaint and warning has to do with our 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited,saraha, 3.8 litre. We had a pre-mature engine failure in our jeep due to improper engine assembly during manufacture of the engine. The engine failure was due to the pressure relief valve for the engine oil by-pass valve being installed in the wrong order, causing the engines oil being only partially filtered. This non-filtered oil caused the engine to fail due to the dirty oil passing through the engine and causing excessive wear of the engine. Our engine failed at just over 43,000 miles and the failure could be sudden and put anyone that has this engine condition at risk if the vehicle is in motion while the failure occurs. I want to be on record because i do not want anyone to be injured or worse lose there life over something as simple as warning the public of this issue found in our engine, and also to be on record because who knows how many engine were assembled this way which in my mind should be considered poor craftsmanship. Total details, cost and the full extent of damaged can be extended to anyone who needs or wants this information, if requested in writing or email.
Electronic control light appeared. Engine stalled while pulling into parking place causing complete loss of all electronics as well as power steering and power brakes. Due to size and weight of vehicle, without power steering and brakes, very narrowly missed hitting another vehicle before vehicle could be stopped. Area was heavily populated with pedestrians. Thankfully none were present directly in my path. Vehicle going to dealer tomorrow however after much internet research it appears chrysler has not been able to remedy the problem.
My2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4x4 sahara stalls often while driving .
While driving, the engine cut out and all dash lights came on as if the key was turned off and then back on as to start the motor all power was lost and the whole jeep bucked. After a short outage, electrical power will be restored and the engine will restart. Was very scared because when it happened you have no control.
My wife and i have experienced at least five (5) incidents where the vehicle engine stalls/kills and either restarts itself or has bemanually restarted via ignition key.the symptoms mirror exactly those described in nhtsa action number pe07027. (driving on highway when vehicle dash lights up as if freshly started, and sometimes needs to be manually restarted, and sometimes has restarted itself)the first incident was experienced by my wife in august of 2009, and the vehicle was subsequently inspected by jeep dealer [xxx] motors of minocqua, wi, who after inspection and road test reported "no trouble found." (per my invoice dated 8/24/09)at that point the vehicle was under warranty with 33,054 miles on the odometer, and i was charged $35.25 for that service item.the most recent incident occurred october 14, 2013, and was witnessed by my son.in that case i was driving approximately 75 mph on i-70 approaching i-15 in utah when the engine stalled.the vehicle needed to be manually restarted via key.that was the 3rd incident i've experienced in the past 5 months.
Dealer working on replacement of exhaust manifolds, broke bolt going into head, have to remove entire head, to remove broken bolt, as well as reinstall with new gasket, then proceeds to shock the jeep and now a new power control module needs to be replaced , this dealer is inadequate to say the least, nemer, saratoga springs, ny.

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.
I was driving toward a red light, and slowing down at 35 mph, i andhad my father in the vehicle when the radio shut off, there was a slight jerk in the vehicle, all the lights on the dash came on, and then everything continued like normal.i had 1/8 of a tank of gas, and it was 87 degrees out.this was the third time that my vehicle stalled.the last time i was reversing out of a space, and damage was caused.
Backing out of parking spaces and turning a corner at very low speeds, caused the esp and bas dash lights to come on and stay on. All the dash lights have come on at speeds of 5 mph while driving in a parking lot, vehicle acted like it was going to stall, but did not turn off. Took the jeep in for service, dtc's were scanned dtc stored codes were found, c2205 steering angle sensor internal, c121a, steering angle sensor not initialized. All stored dtc codes were cleared and all modules were checked and new software, abs52059883ae was installed.automatic transmission vibrates between 35-40 mph, dealer could not recreate vibration or find cause.
My 07 jeep wrangler has stalled a total of 4 times while driving.3 of the stalls were at highway speeds, 1 was at approximately 35 mph.there is no warning or sign that the vehicle will stall.just, all of a sudden, i notice the loss of power, and looking at my instrument panel, i see that all the warning indicators are lit.the stall lasts just a couple of seconds, then the vehicle returns to normal operation without anything be done by me.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara.stalled at 2,700 miles while traveling 45 mph on a 4 lane divided highway. Vehicle completely shut off including power steering and brakes while engine continued to run. Was forced to move vehicle while still rolling into grass median. Vehicle "rebooted" 30 seconds later without me doing anything (i.e. Turning off or on) and was able to drive away. Luckily there was not heavy traffic as i had no means to stop quickly and the grass slowed me down in the median.took to dealer and supposedly "flashed the pcm module" as my warranty receipt says. The jeep has now again stalled at 3,800 miles yesterday while going 35 miles an hour down my street.
2007 jeep jk 4-doorhas stalled a couple of times.i've started my jeep about 10 times and the starter continues to run.i need to turn off the jeep for this to stop.
I was driving my 2007 jeep wrangler at about 30mph on a busy, 4 lane street when all of a sudden the gas pedal became unresponsive, all of the dashboard indicator lights illuminated and the jeep went dead.i rolled to a stop (while being honked at by the people behind me), shifted to park, waited a couple of minutes and then restarted the jeep.at that point, the vehicle seemed normal again.i have an appointment with my dealer for this issue, which i know has been experienced by many other 2007 jeep wrangler owners.
Once while driving and once while sitting at a stop light my 07 jeep jk wrangler just stalled.it had to be put back into park and restarted.this seems very dangerous!
Jeep 2007 wrangler, engine stall saturday june 23, 2007, some time around 10:30 - 11:00 a.m. While driving the jeep on freeway at 62 to 63 miles per hour, with out warning engine felt like it cut out, car then started slowing down, instrument panel lights were coming on, noticed tachometer and speedometer dropping off, did not have to restart engine came back to life on its own, then the dash lights started going out, what seemed like one by one till they were all off, this all happened with in seconds. Circumstances: 5,732 miles on odometer, automatic transmission, driving with foot on accelerator (cruise off), gas tank just over half full, 71 degrees out side, very humid day, rained previous night car parked outside. Drove from home to store about 6 -8 miles, parked at store for 30 to 45 minutes then went on to freeway about 5 to 10 minutes later this all happened, ran ok rest of day. Side note radio was on do not remember if it went off or not.
I was driving at 55mph and ran over a badly maintained road bump (a 3ft section of pavement spanning both lanes of a 2 lane rd. That had no stone in it to level it off) and my 2007 jeep 4dr wrangler unlimited sahara lost engine power. All power options in turn lost power. I managed to pull the jeep to the side of the road. I turned the key off and attempted to restart it. It started back up with no further incident. This same power loss occurred once before after driving on a wet road on a rainy day. That 2nd occurrence lasted about 1second and then re-powered.
Stalled at highway speed. Pulled to side of road, unable to accelerate vehicle; engine restarted in 5 minutes.
Vehicle: 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited x 4x4 .i was driving in 4-wd-low downa sandy hill andi hit a rather large bump/rut and the engine cut off , renderingthe power steering and power brakes ineffective.luckily , there was no other traffic in the area or obstacles in front of me, and i was able to bring the jeep to a stop in 50 yards or so on a steep down-hill section of road.after bring the jeep to a stop it started up again without problem.the jeep dealer said they have not heard of this problem although i have found other's on theweb,indicating situations where the engine randomly turnedoff. This was a major safety issue.if i had been in a situation with any obstacles , trees, cars n front of me, there would have been no way for me to stop or steer out of the way in time.
Three times since i purchasedthe 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited the engine stalled for no apparent reason. Twice i was climbing a mountain pass at approximately55 mph, and once i was at an intersection going approximately15 mph. All three times the engine cut off, all lights on the dash came on, and the momentum of the car started the engine after about two seconds. There was no power steering or brakes while the engine was off. Luckily, there was no need to make immediate stops or turns while the engine was off. These incidents happened about 3,000 miles apart.
On two occasions the engine in the jeep jk, 4x4 sahara has cut off momentarily and within a couple of seconds cut back on.the first time was more noticeable than the second time.i have less than 4000 miles on the jeep.i have takenthe vehicle to the dealer and nothing was found.this could potentially cause a serious accident.reading message boards, i have seen that others have reported this as well.
While driving on highway the jeep wrangler sahara 2007 model started to stall and hesitate, anddashboard lights flickered; engine light and seatbelt light came on; i pressed on the accelerator and the car kicked into gear and kept going.
At 75 mph the electrical and engine systemstopped functioning for 1-2 seconds, then resumed normal function.power assist to brakes and steering were lost for this time, at highway speed.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle began shaking excessively and continued to shake while she was parking.the vehicle has not been driven for a couple of days. The failure has occurred for over a year and the dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle also shut off while driving; however, she was able to restart it.there were no warning lights illuminated on the dashboard. The manufacturer stated that there are no related recalls. The failure mileage was 500.
Vehicle stalled upon acceleration up a hill started itself up again within 5 seconds. Intermittant rough idle/chugging occuring and becoming more frequent. Other times vehicle behaved as if stalled but recovered rapidly
The problem has occurred three times now. The first time was about 2 months after purchasing the jeep on interstate 95 on cruise control at about 70mph. The jeep stalled, radio cut off, everything went blank, and rapidly deaccelerated. Then the whole dash lit back up, it restarted on its own and the rpms went way up them resumed as normal with a jerk back into gear. I nearl was rear ended by a truck tailing right behind me who honked, slammed brakes and jerked around me. I took it to the dearlership for an oil change and reported the problem. They told me there were no other reports on tsb and the computer found no problem, nor could they duplicate it so it must have been "working it's kinks out". I took it home. About two months later it once again did the same thing in stop and go traffic at about 25 mph on interstate 495. This time i had to put it in park, people honking and cursing and restart it. I didn't take it in because i feared the same response. The third time about about 2 months later when my husband was driving me and guest from england on interstate 95 again, not on cruise control at about 65 mph. It repeated the action from the first incident.it's been there four days now for the second try at correction with no update and failed returned calls from the service manager on an update.
While driving in heavy traffic on a busy street, i pulled into a left-hand turn lane and stopped at a red light.i was about six cars back in the line of traffic.while stopped i felt a slight engine shudder and then the engine stalled.all of the lights on the dash lit up.i placed the vehicle in park and started the engine back up.the dash lights went out and i proceeded on my way.my vehicle has just over 3,000 miles on it.it was very concerning to stall in the middle of such heavy traffic in a new vehicle.i am taking it to the dealer tomorrow to be checked.
Engine cuts out and all dash lights go on. As soon as i realize what is going on things are back to normal.has happened on at least 4 separate occasions. The first time was traveling about 45 mph. The second time was doing 70 on i94 next to a semi tractor. The third time was on an exit ramp on i55 in joliet il. The last time was on june 1, 2007 while approaching a stop light. It has been brought to the attention of the dealer and they have dismissed it. Told me they have never heard of such a thing. On the last visit they said "the customer states theengine hesitates so bad he thinks it has stalled then will snap back and will accelerate normally". I was very frustrated when i red this because it is not hesitation it is a stall. The vehicle completely dies. This is dangerous and if it happens at the wrong time or if someone panics the consequences could be deadly.
Our jeep has stalled while driving on the freeway and while sitting at idle. It is accompanied by the dashboard lighting up like a christmas tree and then the entire electrical system going out. This includes the headlights extinguishing at high speeds on the freeway--very scary.
Engine cut out (stalled) on 2007 jeep wrangler while traveling at highway speed. Engine restarted after pulling to the side of the road.
Driving through the mountains of the carolina's on i-40 at speed.vehicle shut down for a split second.all dash lights came on, cruise control turned off and vehicle slowed.vehicle restarted on it?s own.second time it has happened, this time on the highway at 70 miles per hour.(reference #10192459)this is not safe!!my wife will not let me transport our kids in this vehicle until it is fixed.going into dealer asap!
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4.while driving 65 mph the instrument panel lights illuminated and there was a loss of power steering and brakes.this problem occurred on two occasions. The dealer stated that they were unable to duplicate the failure.approximately ten minutes after leaving the dealer the vehicle experienced the same problem on four occasions.the contact was unable to restart the vehicle and it was towed to the dealer.the dealer has not determined the cause of the failure.the current mileage was 20 and the failure mileage was 16.the consumer stated after paying $8,000 in engine parts as of 6/15/07 the jeep still will not run. The consumer stated that daimler-chrysler contacted her to offer a buyback or replacement. The consumer stated she requested the buyback option as the stall defect is still being reported on the web. At the final inspection, the consumer noticed the door didn't shut properly. Updated 07/10/07
When traveling on the highway at 70 mphthe jeep will turn offfor a few seconds ,and all the lights on the dashboardwill come on, and then the jeep startedback up like nothing ever happened. I took the vehicle to the dealer,and of course they couldn't recreate the problem , and no codes were found so they sent me on my way. It did this at 1680 miles ,and it was very unsafe,especially at highway speeds, someone could rear end the vehicle ,or i could lose control. The vehicle is a 2007, jeep,wrangler unlimited 4 door sahara edition.
On four occasions since purchasing the vehicle, while driving at highway speeds, the engine has stalled and all of the electrical components lost power for about 1.5 to 2 seconds. Everything then returned to normal operation. When this occurs, all of the dash lights come on as though the ignition key was in the "on" position, as it is just before starting the car, then all returned to normal. This is a frightening experience at highway speeds. Should a driver be in the midst of an emergency maneuver during one of these occurrences, a serious accident can happen.this first happened in december , and the dealer where the vehicle was purchased replaced the ignition switch, but this has happened three additional times, the last being the date listed on this complaint. The service department at the dealership has been notified and the service representative has informed me that he noted all four reported incidents in the computer system.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler 4dr 4wd that has stalled twice while traveling at highway speeds.the vehicle has less than 6,000 miles and i've reported the problem to the dealer and they say they can't find anything wrong with it.the first occurrence occurred during the day while traveling at approximately 65mph for over an hour.the vehicle cut out, all the dash lights came on, i lost power steering, and within 3 seconds the vehicle "re-started" itself on its own.the second occurrence occurred several months later while traveling at 70mph for over an hour.the incident occurred at night and the same thing happened. All the sudden the engine cut out, i lost headlights, and within 3 seconds the vehicle came back on and everything was fine.again, i reported to the dealer, at they couldn't find anything.
While driving my 2007 jeep x unlimited w/ automatic transmission, build date 12/06,on a long trip engine had been running for 4 hours straight. Approached a stop light at about 35 mph and engine stalled. All dash lights came on and radio cut out. I had my ipod hooked up to the auxiliaryjack. Had over 1/4 tank of gas.
While driving, the engine will cut out and all electrical power will be lost.after a short outage, electrical power will be restored and the engine will restart.tsb 18-036-06 (computer reflash) was performed after the first occurrence however it did not prevent additional failures.second failure occurred at 65 mph and resulted in a near accident with a tractor trailer.vehicle was checked by dealer following most recent failure and no cause could be found.
My 2007 jeep wrangler sahara unlimited has now stalled twice at highway speed.the stall is momentary, approximately two seconds, and the vehicle quickly resumes normal operation.there is an initial "lurch", then all of the indicator lights on the dashboard light up, then operation resumes.it seems very dangerous and it is very alarming when it happens.on one of my two occurrences i was traveling at 70mph on a freeway, which could have resulted in a very dangerous situation.after my first occurrence i described the problem to my dealer and the response was that it was normal operation of the cruise control (obviously they did not interpret my description properly).
I had no previous problems with the vehicle stalling.the vehicle was running with no noticable difference the day of the incident.i was pulling off from a traffic light and i felt the power from the engine cut out.i looked at my instruments and the tach dropped to zero and all the instrument lights went out.no more than one to two full seconds later all of the instrument lights came on and went through the normal sequence like the vehicle was just started.the engine came back to life and the vehicle ran as though there was no problem.i took the vehicle to the dealer and they said it did not store a code in the computer and they could not replicate the prblem.i have had no other failures.i don't remember the exact date of the failure, but i am sure i have a copy of the service record in my glove box from when i took it to the dealer.i will be happy to cooperate with any investigation and provide the documentation if needed.
Vehicle stalled without warning while traveling at slow speeds under low engine load. One occurrence was pulling out into traffic. Throttle becomes unresponsive, engine bogs down and stalls.
Engine stalls while driving
On multiple occasions, the vehicle has stalled at speed.four out the five times it has happened so far, it started back on its own.one of the stalls required stopping and restarting the vehicle.each stall has occurred randomly, twice with cruise control on, once while accelerating, once while braking and once while driving steady without cruise.two times it stalled on the highway at speeds between 65 to 75 mph, two of the times it stalled on an on or off ramp to the highway between 35 to 45 mph, and once in a parking lot at about 15 mph.each time it has stalled, the engine shuts off, all electrical equipment shuts off completely (radio, a/c, lights)and the gauges drop to zero like the vehicle is off.all but one of these time, the vehicle then starts right back up within about 1 to 3 seconds, the gauges return to normal, radio turns back on, etc.each time the vehicle stalled like this, the transmission was fully in gear (no clutch being used at the time).i have taken the vehicle in three times for repair.the first times were supposedly to update the vehicles computer system.the third time, i don't know if anything was done or not, but dealer told me that neither they, nor chrysler can figure out what is wrong with it and will not fix it at this time.obviously, this is very much a safety concern and hope for this to be resolved soon.
1: driving at highway speed with 3400 miles on the car.2: all dashboard lights came on and engine stopped. Within a few seconds, the vehicle resumed operation.3: nothing has been done. I have been researching and waiting for this issue to occur, as it has for many other 2007 jeep wrangler owners. It will be going in to the dealer, but as of late, there is no "fix" for this issue.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited randomly stalls.dash lights light up and engine stalls with complete loss of power steering and braking--this has occurred at 60 mph and as low as 10 mph.has been taken to dealership and they cannot replicate the issue.it continues to be a problem.
I was driving toward a red light, and slowing down at 35 mph, i andhad my father in the vehicle when the radio shut off, there was a slight jerk in the vehicle, all the lights on the dash came on, and then everything continued like normal.i had 1/8 of a tank of gas, and it was 87 degrees out.this was the third time that my vehicle stalled.the last time i was reversing out of a space, and damage was caused.
While driving at roughly 70 mph on highway throttle felt a little weird then the rpms dropped to zero as the electronic throttle control light on the dash came on. Immediately headed for the shoulder as i lost power steering and power braking although the electronic steering/braking system was alerted during my swerve towards the shoulder. The vehicle was very unresponsive. Upon reaching the shoulder the vehicle stalled. Turned off the vehicle, and then restarted it and cautiously returned home. Consulted the manual and it appeared that such events were expected and considered normalif the electronic throttle control light did not returned upon restarting the vehicle.the vehicle has shown signs of repeating this trouble and during those times i have let off the throttle, down shifted and then shifted up again in hopes that whatever glitch was occurring would be reset.conditions: late afternoon, 80*f, driving for about 45 minutes manual transmission , stereo was on.
As soon as i turn the car over, my dash lights, headlights come on.the headlight stalk and the windshield wiper stalk are inoperable.it's a safety hazard to drive my car.and after researching through multiple forums and sites online, it looks like this is a fairly common problem, with a non-standard resolution.not looking forward to the hours i'm going to have to spend getting this addressed.i was driving 8/14 when i noticed the issues.
I had no previous problems with the vehicle stalling.the vehicle was running with no noticable difference the day of the incident.i was pulling off from a traffic light and i felt the power from the engine cut out.i looked at my instruments and the tach dropped to zero and all the instrument lights went out.no more than one to two full seconds later all of the instrument lights came on and went through the normal sequence like the vehicle was just started.the engine came back to life and the vehicle ran as though there was no problem.i took the vehicle to the dealer and they said it did not store a code in the computer and they could not replicate the prblem.i have had no other failures.i don't remember the exact date of the failure, but i am sure i have a copy of the service record in my glove box from when i took it to the dealer.i will be happy to cooperate with any investigation and provide the documentation if needed.
First the windshield wipers stopped working (changed motor and controls) then the horn stopped working, then the blinker and lights along with the instrument panel. Switched the panel and finally the tipm which fixes all issues. Vehicle continued to run but parked it until after reinstalling the tipm.
While driving the car the oil light came on but went off. I was on a narrow road and was about to pull off then lights started to flash and the clutch would not work i stopped and turned the car off but it would not stop. Then i tried to get out and the doors all locked on me.i got out and noticed what i first thought was a boiling radiator but when i went to lift the bonnet the car caught fire. Itwas gone in a matter of minutes. Jeep australia denied any cars had caught fire here and would not allow us to have forensics investigate. At 35,000 the clutch also had to be replaced which jeep also said was because i did not know how to drive a manual i had been driving for 17 years. I know there have been other cars here in australia with the sameproblems i have had
When refueling my 2007 jeep wrankler (4dr) the fuel will overflow back out of the tank without warning.this occurs when locking the fuel pump handle as some places allow and when fueling up manually.there is no way to know when to stop fueling before this occurs uhnless you try to remove the nozzle and look into the fill hole while slowly pumping the fuel.
I have a jeep jk wrangler 2007 unlimited. I have owned it for almost 3 years and have never had this problem until now. I was filling my gas tank at my regular station at my regular pump (i live in a small town) and when the tank filled up gas began gushing out. I had to manually shut off the gas nozzle and got gas all over me. This could have been a tragic incident had a spark flown from a car passing by or someone thrown a cigarette out the window.i really thought nothing of it until the next day when i was looking through some forums i frequent (www.jk-forum.com) and saw there was a thread on this exact subject. This seems to be an issue with this model of jeep wrangler. Please have someone look in to this before someone gets seriously hurt (if they haven't already) in the meantime, i've tried 2 different stations and it's overflowed one time and the other time it did not. Thank you for your time,kollins bulla concerned consumer
While filling the gas tank on my 07 jeep wrangler, fuel spills out before pump shut off. This has been happening for 6 months now.my build date is before the date that chrysler said problems are happening.
While refueling my vehicle, the gas pump does not shut off in time to prevent an overflow and spill of gasoline onto my person and the ground.this will happen everytime i fill up..the only compensator action i have taken thus far is to estimate the amount of fuel that is needed for a fill up and make sure i stop refueling approximately 1 gallon ahead of this point.
Each time i fill my 2007 jeep wrangler with gasoline, a substantial amount of gasoline comes out of the fuel filler neck with a great deal of force, and is poured or sprayed onto the ground, as well as myself and the vehicle.this forms asks for an incident date, and i have entered today's date, but the incident is recurring.
I too have a problem with my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited overflowing when trying to fill the gas tank. See investigation #pe10032.
2007 jeep wrangler jk sahara- every time i fill up with gas, the pump will not automatically shut off until the gas overflows. I have spoken with quite a few other jeep owners and they are all experiencing the same issues. This is very dangerous due to the amount of gasoline that is spilled onto the ground and could lead to a fire. The dealer indicates the only way to repair this issue is to replace the entire gas tank at my expense. I do not agree with this fact due to the fact that it is a safety concern and affects other owners more often than not.
Fuel tank overflows on every fill-up.there is a recall wranglers manufactured in the first half of 2007 but this one was made 12/2007 and is not covered by the previous recall but exhibits the same problem and has done so since purchase.
When fueling my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited it suddenly overflows pouring gas all over me, the ground, and the jeep. This occurs everytime i fill up the jeep. Even if i slow the pump down when getting close to full it still spits fuel out.*ln
Fuel overflows out of gas tank when refueling. Took it to dealership to get checked. They said i needed a new gas tank which was going to cost $650 installed to fix the problem.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited. The continues to be a problem with the gas filler and the fact that gas bubbles back out the filler hose when the tank is filled. It occurs when the gas trigger is set to shut off automatically. Once the tank gets full of close to full and the trigger is shut off gas will gush back out the hose onto the side of the car, my shoes and all over the ground. Depending on the strength of the gas pump as much as 2 pint have bubbled back out.
For the past two years, almost everytime i fill my jeep the gas overflows right after pump shuts off.i've even tried to stop the pump and pull it out to let it settle before completely filling, but this hasn't helped.there is usually enough gas coming out to create a 3 foot puddle on the ground.this has happened at different stations, in different types of weather.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited.during fueling with the gas pump on auto cut off....fuel spews out of the filler neck.pump must be turned off manually.it happens each time i fuel.i am very careful now about only manually filling and very slowly.
While filling gas tank, overflowed just after automatic shutoff device clicked shutting off fuel flow. The tank was just below half full. The overflow out the filler tube or the slow rate of fill (odi # 10368063) seems to be occurring at every fillup now that i have past 50,000 miles on the speedometer. This is happening at gas stations that i commonly use in my area and never had an issue.
At various gas stations with tested equipment, the pump will fill the tank and then the tank will overflow before the pump can shut off.my 2007 jeep wrangler jk has been filled up at the same gas stations for 2 years, and with the same pump equipment there is an issue with the tank not creating enough pressure for the nozzle to automatically shut off.the only remedy that has been given from the dealer is for me to pay for a new gas tank, which they will not warranty against this in the future.this is an environmental and safety issue as this lets gas seep into the water table, and in so. Fl that is pretty much straight to the ocean.
About 3 months ago, i was filling up my 2007 4 door jeep wrangler with gas.the pump automatically shut off and immediately following the shut off gas come pouring out of the jeep.it splashed all over me and puddled on the ground.i thought it was a defective gas pump and complained to the station attendant.it happened again at the next fill up and has at every fill up since if i don't catch it first.it's not the gas pump because i've used several different stations.the only way to keep the gas from spurting out of the jeep is to not fill the tank all the way full.this problem is very distressing and causes a very dangerous situation with gas puddling on the ground and splashing on me and the vehicle.i have had a mechanic look into the defect, he researched online and found complaints of the same problem from other jeep owners.apparently there is a problem with a flap inside the gas tank that becomes defective and allows the air inside the tank to push gas out the neck upon filling the tank.my mechanic is currently getting ready to replace the gas tank.
I own a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon.the vehicle has 16,000 miles.beginning at about 12,000 miles, when filling the gas tank, the tank consistently overflows, regardless of level of fill, gas station or weather conditions.approximately 8 to 32 oz of gas flows or spurts from the filler neck.this condition represents a personal injury risk, fire hazard and environmental issue.as the vehicle is beyond warranty, jeep refuses to address this serious issue.based on jeep blogs, this issue appears to not be an isolated one.
During the last 6 fuel fill-ups, fuel is ejected from the filler tube of my 2007 jeep wrangler sahara. This is during a normal fill-up, not top off.
While filling the gas tank at a major gas suppliers station the nozzle shutoff (clicked) indicating the tank was full then the tank burped gas out around the nozzle. It splashed down the side of the jeep and onto the bumper. This was the first time this has happened when filling the tank.
Fuel over flows from fuel tank every time you fill up very dangerous.
Each time i fill up and set the gas pump to 'auto fill' the gasoline spills out all over the ground when the tank is full and the pump fails to shut off.this occurs with no warning and i was splashed with gasoline again yesterday.i do not trust the car using the automatic feature as this has happened since i bought the jeep new in 2007.i was doused with gasoline yesterday and i am seriously concerned about this issue.there are several complaints of similar nature found online for this particular issue.i contacted chrysler about the issue and they were of no help and claim not to be aware of the issue.i think this is more than an inconvenience and is of a particular safety concern as gasoline is spewing out from the fuel receptacle. Please follow up with chrysler and see if a service bulletin has been issued for this potentially dangerous condition.
Nearly everytime i fill my jeep with fuel, just as the gas nozzle clicks off when the tank is full gas overflows down the side of the jeep and sometimes onto me.
During gas refilling of the vehicle, gas will bubble out of the filler neck after the tank is full and the gas pump turns off.this incident occurs at every fill up.
Upon filling up the gas tank the fuel backs up and spills all over the place as the auto stop engages on the pump. This happens at every fill up.
Gas overflows consistently when filling my 2007 jeep wrangler.
Gasoline sprays from the fuel filler during refueling on a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited creating a fire hazard and environmental contamination.this issue occurs nearly every weekly fill-up and is increasing in frequency.
While filling gas tank at a major station the gas tank would not accept gasoline at a high flow rate, it would only allow the tank to be filled at a very slow rate or it would click off indicating that the tank was full. This was the first fillup after the tank overflowed after shutoff. This is the first occurrence of this happening. The tank was just over 1/4 when prior to filling.
The fuel tank overflows when filling up.the fill nozzle shuts off then gasoline shoots out of the fill tube of the tank spilling one or two cups of fuel.
Normal vehicle use. No visible failure, however the fuel tank has an internal failure/defect that does not allow the air to vent during filling of the fuel tank. This causes the fuel to shoot out of the filler cap during normal filling, spilling approximately 1 quart of gasoline on the bumper and ground. It occurs during every fill up at any gas station. I took it to the dealer and they did nothing and informed me if i wanted it to work properly i would have to purchase an entire new gas tank. Vehicle is just 2 years old and less than 60,000 miles. I expressed safety concerns and the dealership did not care.
Fuel overflows after every refueling for 1-2 sec then stops. Fuel pump will not stop till overflowing every time at different gas stations.
Everytime i fill up the vehicle, there is substantial fuel overflow. This happens regardless of the amount filling up, regardless of the pump or station, and regardless of the nozzle itself. There is enough fuel spillage to fill at least a 16 oz. Cup every time i fill up.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler. While adding gasoline to the fuel tank, it would overflow and spill onto the ground. The fuel leaked out of the vehicle three times. The vehicle had not been inspected when the complaint was filed. The current mileage was approximately 14,200. The failure mileage was approximately 14,190.
When filling the tank up with gas, whether completely full or not, gas starts blowing back out of the tank... At least one to two cups of gas.it does not matter which gas station you go to.it started happening a couple of years ago and had gradually gotten worse.now it occurs at every fill up.took it back to the dealer and they cleaned a gas vent, and that fixed it temporarily, but now it is worse than before.
Spits gas upon filling.took it in to the dealer originally and they replaced the carbon can and other items to the tune of about $500.did it again a month later and still does every time for the last couple years.we have learned to put the cap where it won't get wet and stand far away form the filler when filling.i saw the extended warranty for a fuel inlet check valve, but am reluctant to go to dealer (only one around for 120 miles) because i don't want to hosed buy them, i'd rather get hosed by fuel.if the vehicle burns down a gas station it's good to know that there isn't a dangerous problem with this vehicle.
While filling gas tank at a major gas station the nozzle shutoff clicked indicating that the tank was full. Gasoline was burped out of the fill pipe and ran down the side of the jeep and onto the bumper. This is the second instance of this happening both were during colder temperatures.
Our 2007 wrangler unlimited has 115,000 miles on it and has suddenly started overflowing gas when filling up.i feel this is a safety issue along with an environmental issue.i'm in talks with chrysler and hope they will pay to fix an obviously defective system.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4 (4dr) and now, whenever i fill the tank, fuel spills out of the filler port during the refueling process. In essence it is exactly as the complaint that is filed with chrysler mentions -- "this condition generally occurs when the fuel tank is filled to the full or nearly full level and the gas pump automatically shuts or clicks off." fuel spills on me, the car and the ground.i would say in excess of a couple quarts.
Gas overflow problem. Every time i fill up the tank with gas, the tank overflows, spilling gas all down the side of my 2007 jeep wrangler and onto the ground.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited - fuel blowback from jeep when pump shuts off during fillup.
When filling up with gas and setting the locking mechanism on the fuel nozzle, upon fillup, fuel will spray out of the fuel filler before the nozzle disengages.this has been repeated at all of the subsequent fillups, using different stations and pumps.fuel will spill onto the ground, side of vehicle, bumper area, and on the person refueling.
I just purchased a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon a couple weeks ago and when filling at the pump spits up gas when the pump shuts off when the tank is full.thus spilling gas on myself, the vehicle and ground.
The contact owns a 2007 chrysler jeep wrangler.while driving 40mph down a steep hill, the engine shut off.the vehicle lost the power steering and brakes.the fuel gage displayed empty;however, the vehiclehad a 1/2 a tank of gas.the dealer has been unable to diagnose the failure.the contact conducted a test four times and each time after 4 minutes the engine stalled, began to coast and the engine shut off.the mechanic was in the vehicle on one of those occasions.the current and failure mileage were 900.there were no injuries.
Every time i fill my gas tank, the gas overruns quite substantially. The handle is upright and the nozzle is all the way in, but continually i have gas pour over the side of my jeep and onto the ground.
Every time i fill up my 2007 jeep wrangler rubicon, gas will overflow when the pumps shuts off.the first few times, the overflow was a nominal spill.after the 4th or 5th time this occurred, the overflow amount is now a large gush of 1/2 to 1 gallon spilling broadly all over the vehicle and in a fairly wide range away from the vehicle.chrysler claims the problem is not in their design, yet a fuel tank is not available -- is on back order from supplier.based on a simple review of complaints, it appears this is not a problem unique only to my vehicle.i am concerned about being splashed with gasoline, or having gasoline splash out and ignite at a gas station.
2007 jeep wrangler rubicon unlimited gas tank overflows when pumping gas from a service station.does it most (70%) of the time.not a pump auto shutoff issue.
2007 jeep wrangler sahara unlimited: gas tank overflows and literally splashes out when fuel pump clicks off at full tank.
When fueling my jeep wrangler, fuel overflows before the pump shuts off.if i don't turn the pump off before the tank is full, a considerable amount of fuel spills out down the side of the jeep and onto the ground.
While fueling the car, when the pump shut off, several cups of gasoline overflowed onto the car and ground below. I've owned the car less than two weeks and have only filled it up twice. Both times gas overflowed on the ground. This is not only inconvenient, it also wastes money and is an environmental hazard. I am trying to see if this repair can be covered under warranty.

This has happened repeatedly for past four times !!! gas tank is not cutting off the fuel, and overspilling gas out of the neck onto me, jeep and gas station floor.
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.
Gas tank overfills and gets gas all over vehicle and ground. This occurs every time i fill up and started when the vehicle had about 40k miles. Nothing has been done to correct the problem.
Since early 2011, the gas tank of my jeep wrangler overflows when being filled with gas resulting in significant amounts of gas being spilled into the environment. I have reported this to jeep in june. They have not yet fixed the problem.
This has happend a few times but when fueling up when full gas would spit out (a lot) and run down the side of my jeep and leave a puddle at the gas pump.
Fuel spills out of the gas tank filler neck everytime i fill the gas tank. Usually about8-16 ounces of fuel spills down the side of the vehicle and onto the ground next to the vehicle. Environmental as well as a fire safety hazard.have taken vehicle to factory dealer for the problem and they stated that they will replace the gas tank.
Fuel spills on fill-up.fuel dispenser at service stations will not shut off automatically with my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited.problem started at approximately 43000 miles on the odometer.
Gas spills out when filling up my jeep jk unlimited rubicon. *ln
Started having a problem with my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited at around 50k miles. When filling up at a gas station on a trip to the mountains. When the auto shutoff at the pumped clicked off the gas came spewing out of the file hole.i considered it a one time fluke and that possibly the gas pump was defective. As time went on it did not matter what gas station i went to the problem occurred more and more frequently. Now the only way to avoid an overflow is to stop filling at around 15 gallons and slowly top off the tank by carefully listening for the fuel level and easing the fuel into the tank.my concern is the amount of fuel spilling out on the pavement is a safety hazard. One spark could be disastrous for myself of someone who follows me at the pump.i have read where many other jeep owners with the same year and model are experiencing a similar problem. I feel this issue needs to be addressed with chrysler corporation before someone gets hurt.
I have a 2007 4dr wrangler and have 29000 miles on it and every single time that i have filled the tank up it over flows onto the ground. I have had to put absorbant down per the gas station for the mess that was caused. It splashes back hard enough that it gets everywhere. And for those of jeep that read these, no i do not leave the pump or handle unattended. It not being under warranty anymore, it is no use after reading all this that i contact jeep to have it fixed as they say nothing is wrong. But the feeling of gas in your eye is a really uncomfortable feeling caused by a defect in jeep.
Gas overflow in a 2007 jeep wrangler.every time i fill up my jeep regardless of how empty or full, gas overflows and runs out of the fill tube.
My jeep gas tank overflows when filling up with gas.the automatic stop is not working on the jeep.
Starting a few months ago my 2007 jeep wrangler with 51000 miles, started to have issues when refueling. When filing up the tank, shortly after the auto shut-off kicks in, gas will spray out of the filler. This issue just started and appears to happen at all gas stations. I currently do not fill my up jeep all the way to prevent this from happening, but this is a pretty big safety concern.my wife will not get gas in this car due to this issue as well. My vehicle is out of warranty. After reading about this online, it appears there are many jeep wrangler owners (2007 and newer) who have the same issue. Some dealers are replacing the gas tanks, but most are not admitting there is any issue.due to this being a big safety issue, i wanted this reported and maybe there could be a recall.
Every time i fill up the tank of my 2007 jeep wrangler a substantial amount of gasoline is spewed from the filler hole.from what i've researched chrysler's fix is to replace the gas tank; however, the problem eventually starts again.
Fuel spitback issue. Under extended warranty, jeep wranglers built 3/1/2007 - 3/31/2008 can have their fuel tanks replaced under warranty. Mine was built in january 2007. If this is an issue in so many other jeeps that fall outside of these built dates, i don't know why they were not included. My vehicle spits out sometimes and estimated quart of gasoline after the automatic fill pump stops. It doesn't matter if it is pumping on the higher or lower speed. This gasoline, even though i wash it off every time, has left marks on my tires and i hope it does not corrode the paint or plastic trim.
I have a faulty valve on my gas tank...2007 jeep wrangler.when filling up the gas tank, there isn't a valve that keeps the gas from spitting back out when the tank is almost full.i have been on forums with other jeep owners who have stated they also have problems.this started around the 42k mile mark.recurring problem.
Gas tank continually overflows when filling. If i stop the pump prior to being full a second or two later the gas comes pouring back up the filler tube. This is a very dangerous situation and to my understanding it is a widespread problem. In addition to the danger of this i believe there is an environmental impact with this as well.
I own a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4x4, everytime i fill the vehicle with fuel, it burps back about a cup of raw fuel out of the fill tube and onto the parking lot.i purchased the vehicle with apporx. 68,000. It now has approx 72,000 miles and it has happened at every fill up since i purchased it.
Gas tank overflows while filling. This has happened about 10 times in the past few months. No matter what gas station i fill up at i thought it was the pump until i tried different stations. I looked it up on jk-forum.com and found that many others are having this problem.
When i fill up my gas tank, it 'spits back' fuel before shutting off leaving gas dripping down my fenders and onto the ground. It doesn't appear to be too much gas but still leaves everything wet with gas including the gas pump. This happens when using the auto shut-off feature of the pump. It also happens when on the low speed setting. This started around 50k miles and continues now at 55k miles.
I am the owner of a jeep jk four door sahara wrangler.... 2007 model.since i have owned it i have had it spit/ hurl fuel every single time i fill it up.its gotten so bad that i now purposely have to watch it and can't do a complete fillup.

While refueling the vehicle and the auto shutoff device clicked fuel was burped out of the filler and down the side of the jeep and onto the rear bumper. This is occuring at every fillup since the 50,000 mile mark on the odometer. It does it with the fill nozzle set at any flow rate.
When filling the fuel tank, the tank overflows out of the spout before shutting off the pump. Fuel sprays out onto the vehicle, the ground, and the person standing near the spout. This creates a fire hazard and health hazard. This occurs at every fill-up.

My 2007 jeep wrangler 4-door sahara constantly overflows gas when filling up at the gas station. This started happening a few months ago and it happens every time i fill up the tank now.i feel this is a safety hazard as it spills at least a couple cups of gas on the ground every time.
Fuel spills out of the filler port during the refueling process.

Two main problems - the gas tank was replace on my 2008 jeep wrangler due to over flow problems, after reading a few discussion boards i noticed this is a huge problem.when filling the gas tank the auto shut off would signify that the tank was full, upon pulling the nozzle about a pint of gas would blow back at you.my local dealership did replace the tank, but i think this is a major danger and should be looked into.my second problem is that the jeep will stall for no reason.this has happened three times.the entire electrical system shorts out for a brief moment.no power brakes, no lights, no radio.again discussion boards have been discussing this issue with the jeeps.in both above cases jeep turned a blind eye, my local dealership replaced the tank at their own expense after jeep dismissed the claim.please look into these dangerous situations, before somebody is maimed or killed.
Fuel tank was just below 1/2 full prior to filling the tank. The tank overflowed out the filler pipe and down the side of the jeep and onto the bumper after the automatic shutoff had stopped the flow of fuel. This is now happening during every fillup. I do not add fuel after the auto shutoff stops fuel flow. Updated 1/25/11 updated 03/14/11
Fuel burp around fuel nozzle after the auto shutoff clicks and stops fuel flow. Fuel goes down the side of the jeep and onto the rear bumper. Happens every fillup no matter what the fill rate of the station system.
Over the pass two months as i fill the gas tank of my 2007 jeep wrangler once the tank is full and the pump stops the flow of gas,gas spits back out of the fuel inlet with some force behind it.other than gas covering my hands and legs no injuries have resulted from this but with the force that it does come out of the inlet it could easily get in to someone's eyes, not to mention the effect of gas covering my hands every time i fill my gas tank.i have brought it to my local dealer and they have told me i need to replace my gas tank as there is a vent that is part of the tank that can not be replaced without changing the whole tank at a cost of 610.00 this sounded odd to me so i started looking in to it and found a large number of this happening to other people.that in turn led me to your web site and this complaint form.i have an open case file in with jeep but have not got an answer as i write this.i have read the investigation you have done into this and my only comment to that is just because no one has been hurt yet does not make it safe.
With 1/3 to 1/2 tank of gas, the vehicle will stall (and not restart) if idled facing downhill for a couple of minutes.this has happened when parallel parking as well as sitting at a red light in traffic.in order to restart the vehicle you must be able to drift it to level ground. Obvious issue in drifting are no power steering, no power brakes, and the availability of a safe level area out of traffic.certainly, you should not expect to "run out of gas" with up to a half tank remaining.
I have an 07 jeep wrangler unlimited. Had it for over 2yrs. Everytime since i bought it, when i go to fuel up, the gas tank overflows. I've resorted to never filling completely up. When it does overflow, about half a gallon of gas pours out. I just put the date that it started in the column below.

Every single time since about 35000 miles on the odometer. Gas goes everywhere. About a quart i'd say hits the ground. Since the jeep is out of warranty, i just live with it. I still fill up but i only put in a few gallons at a time, stop, pull the nozzle out, and put in a few more. Gas still comes out but not as much.
Gas tank overflowing during full up.was intermittent since 45,000 miles.overflows at every fillup now at 70,500 miles.
1. Seemed to just start happening over time2. When i fill up my fuel tank before the pump shuts off it pours out of the tank opening all over the ground. Happens every time i fill up3. Nothing done yet, i'm not even sure if there is a repair.

2007 4 door jeep wrangler sahara. Started at about 50,000 miles. Fuel is overflowing when gas tank is filled. It does not matter where i fill up at. Gas has sprayed out after fuel nozzle has clicked off. Sometimes its very little overflow and sometimes its enough overflow, the gas station has to put out absorbent to clean up the spill.
When i fill my gas tank it overflows and spills out of the gas tank regularly. So i wait until the low fuel light comes up before refilling. I know my tank holds approx. 19 gallons so when i'm filling up, i have to stop the pump at 16 gallons and then slowly squeeze the handle up to about 18 gallons. Even then sometimes this still causes the fuel to overflow and spill all over the side of the jeep and onto the ground. The automatic shutoffs on the nozzles never kick in. I've had the same problem at multiple gas stations.i know this is not an isolated incident as two of my personal friends have similar vehicles to mine and we have the same exact problem. In fact, on jeep wrangler 2007-2010 message forums, the issue appears to happening very often to other drivers as well.
Fuel tank overflows when filling it with fuel on my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited x. Fuel spills out when fuel pump automatically shuts off. Fuel splashes out, gets on hands, side of vehicle, and all over the ground.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited xwhen refueling the vehicle, often the overflow shutoff will not work and gasoline will pour out the vehicle or splash down the side of the vehicle.this is possibly more serious due to the plastic fenders which may generate a static electricity shock in the right circumstances.
When i fill up my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara, using the pump lock feature on the gas pump, fuel splashes out of the gas cap tube when the tank gets full.fuel splashes down the side of the vehicle and onto the ground.one time, my son was standing at the rear corner of the vehicle, and gas nearly splashed all over him.definitely a concern.
While filling gas tank fuel spills back onto vehicle and ground.it does not appear to be dependent on specific nozzle types or rate of filling. Sometimes the nozzle will shut off early and then when filling is resumed it will spill fuel back.the vehicle has been in for service but still spills fuel.

Jeep wrangler has had an issue when filling the gas tank with fuel overflow at time of full tank. The pump will not shut off and gas is spilled on vehicle and ground. Happens everytime i fill up since about 12k miles on odometer. Have heard that jeep will pay for repairs for jeeps manufactured beginning march 2007. There are many of us, like myself, that have jeeps manufactured earlier (mine was manuf. October, 2006 - 2007 model) that are having this issue and i would like jeep to over coverage for replacement of the gas tank as they are doing for others. This is an extreme safety issue and environmental hazard. Please assist.thank you.
I am the owner of a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara with 56,000 miles. I purchased the vehicle in december of 2009 used. The first week of owning the vehicle, i went to the gas station to fill the tank. I placed the nozzle in the filler tube and set the pump to auto fill. Once the tank was filled completely, the pump clicked off and the fuel tank then "burped" about 1 pint of fuel out. At times, the fuel comes out vigorously in a spray making it even more flammable and covering me and the vehicle. I have gone to many different gas stations since and have the problem every time i fill the tank. The problem also occurs when i hold the pump and try to limit the fuel flow. Here is a video of the issue (not my jeep) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zouvokeolo8there are hundreds, if not thousands of people with the same issue. The only dealer recommend fix is to replace the fuel tank which is a costly repair for what i fell is a safety concern.
During refueling, the gas would over flow when the pump turned off.it appeared to be about a pint or two of gas each time.i experienced the same issue when i used several different locations and brands of gas.upon contacting chrysler, they seem to think it is an isolated incident, however, a quick search of jeepforums.com and youtube show that this appears to be a systemic problem with jeeps.there was no attempt by chrysler to accept responsibility, however, they offered to pay for half of the repair out of "goodwill".the vehicle, a 2007 wrangler x unlimited, is still at the dealership awaiting repairs.
Fuel spills out of gas filler hole when filling tank.
Fuel splashes out of filler neck on my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited at fill-ups when the pump automatically shuts off.it has occurred in warm and cold weather, and at several different gas stations both with and without vapor recovery type nozzles.an estimated 1-2 cups of fuel can splash out, getting all over me, the vehicle and the ground.originally the problem never occurred, but now happens 50% or more of the time having started perhaps two years ago.i thought it might just be me until i learned recently nhtsa was looking into the issue.this problem can be a potential fire/explosion hazard, as i often see idiots smoking while refueling their vehicles.not to mention other potential health and inconvenience issues due to contact with gasoline.
Gas tank on my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited started overflowing at gas pumps about one month ago.happens every time i fill up.
07 jeep wrangler unlimited - fuel spillage / overflow when fueling vehicle.auto nozzle shutoff does not, causing fuel spillage onto vehicle and ground.environmental and safety hazard.jeep dealer denies any knowledge of known issue.
Whenever i fill the car up with gas once the tank is full the pump clicks off and the gas overflows.
When fueling, the gas tank "burps" approximately 1liter of gas after the fuel station pump turns off. This is not due to overfilling the tank. This happens every time i fill up, not on partial fills. The gas spilling is ruining my paint and plastic as well as damaging the service station cement and ultimately damaging the environment. (if this happens to every owner of a jeep wrangler, multiplied by every gas fill-up, just how much gasoline is being spilled?)
Fuel overflows when filling at pump. It happens every time on every pump. Seems to be very common with the new wranglers. This is a major fire and environmental issue.

2007 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon - fuel tank overflows when refueling, causing gasoline to spill out over vehicle, ground and vehicle owner.
Gas tank overflowing when filling vehicle.
The throttle control light came on at 40 mph and then started flashing and i had no throttle and had to drive home on idle. This was a used car on the way home from purchase. The jeep dealer had it for three days and says the garage computer corrected the problem, but it still happens about one a month, i have to pull over, shut the key off and restart for it to work.
Starting about 12-15 gas fill-ups ago, my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4x4 rubicon started to eject fuel out of the gas filler tube about a second after the pump automatically shut off.i have not changed any procedure during fill-ups and have used the same gas pumps and gas stations for the last 2 years -- this started out of the blue.when the gas overflows, it ejects with enough pressure to cover the gas cap hanging below with gas, and saturates the side of the jeep and bumper, dropping a good amount of gas on the ground (probably about a 2.5 - 3 foot radius of a puddle).the first time it happened, my hand was covered in gas, and i estimate about a half gallon of gas was ejected.it now happens every time during a fill-up unless i stop the gas pump before the tank is close to full.i have listened attentively during a few fill-ups, and have shut off the pump once i hear a change in sound that the tank is near full -- and this still results in fuel ejecting from the filler tube, but just not as much.i can no longer rely on the pump auto shut off even at low filling speeds, and i can no longer fill the tank to it's previously normally full capacity. I am very concerned about the safety of this, not only to me and my passengers, but the other patrons around me -- not to mention the environmental impact of the gas spills.there are no known fixes, and it appears, according to jeep forums, that this is becoming a very common problem, with the latest updates that chrysler completely replacing gas tanks only under warranty, and with no apparent updates to keep it from occurring again in the future.my jeep has just come out of warranty around the end of september, due to mileage.i now have 40,000 miles on the jeep, and i estimate this started at about 35,000 miles.

Fuel tank overflows when filling gas tank.i've been having this problem on and off since the vehicle was new in 2007.i took my jk unlimited into the dealer twice while it was under warranty, and was told there was nothing they could do about it--told it was the gas stations pump that was malfunctioning.
Every time i fill up my 2007 jeep wrangler jk unlimited it suddenly overflows pouring gas all over me, the ground, and the jeep. This occurs everytime i fill up the jeep. Even if i slow the pump down when getting close to full it still spits fuel out.i've tried several different gas station with the same dangerous results.
My jeep wrangler gas tank has a problem.a valve somewhere in the tank is sticking so that when the gas tank is filled at the pump, often times, gas will spill out until the pump shuts off.probably a gallon or two spill out on the ground.other times, the pump will shut off prematurely where the attendant must turn the pump nozzle upside down to get the gas to flow.i have read that this is a common problem with jeep wranglers for a few years now, but jeep hasn't addressed it with a recall despite causing a safety issue.
Fuel filler overflow. Happens every time tank is filled.
2007 jeep wrangler splashes fuel out of the filler neck when refueled (after pump clicks off). Gas is spilled on the vehicle and on the ground.

Since that time it has gotten increasingly worse occurring each time it's refueled.

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. Driving on the highway the other day and 3 different malfunction indicator lights came on in a matter of seconds, jeep powered off. No power steering or brakes, traveling approximately 60 mph.

I am the owner of a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara with 69,000 miles. I purchased the vehicle brand new in february of 2007.four about the last 18 months of owning the vehicle, the fuel overflows every time i go to the gas station to fill the tank. I place the nozzle in the filler tube and set the pump to auto fill. Once the tank is filled, the pump clicks off and the fuel tank then "burps" about 2-3 cups of fuel out. At times, the fuel comes out vigorously in a spray making it even more flammable and covering me and the vehicle. I have gone to many different gas stations since, and have had the problem every time i fill the tank. The problem also occurs when i hold the pump and try to limit the fuel flow. There are hundreds of known cases regarding this extreme safety issue, and it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt, or even worse...killed.

Just purchased a used 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited and have yet to figure out how to fuel up without massive overflow at full.

Per the dealership's recommendation, i have replaced the vehicle's evaporation canister, but the problem remains.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited and around 37k miles fuel started to spill out at fill-ups. This happens if i fill manually or if i try and let the pump automatically cut off. I bought my jeep used in 2008 but it only had 4k miles on it. I feel that this is a safety problem and hope i can get someone to look into it.
I was going down a steep hill on a remote trail with a half a tank of gas.after 10 minutes the fuel gauge showed empty and the engine died, i lost my brakes just when i needed them the most.i could not stop the car and we plunged down the very very steep hill with no way to stop or to steer.for some reason in a steep down hill the engine did notnot get fuel.losing brakes and steering power just when it is needed the most is an accident and a law suite waiting to happen.

For the past 5 monthsi've had my check engine light on. I read the code and is says "large e vap leak " i've replaced the pcv valve and the e vap charcoal canister and the check engine light is still on. I've brought it to a mechanic and they did a smoke test and everything tested out good. Showing that there were no problems and to start with the gas cap. I've spent over 100.dollars on gas caps and i still have the problem. I have to for emissions by the end of december. I've had every recall known to man on this jeep. I've done research and found out that it could be the gas filler neck itself. How to i go about getting a new one and will it cost me anything? i also have problems when i try and fill the tank. The gas comes flying back out if i try and fill it. Its getting out of hand and the dealership won't give me an answer. I was going to go to.another dealership but i want to know if this will cost me? i have until december 31 to get this problem fixed or my plates will be suspended and i won't be able to get my plate sticker. What should i do??the check engine light comes on while stationary and while driving. This started in the middle of may.
So everytime when i fill my tank its over flowing and its a really big safety issues last week i was going to work and stopped in gas station and it over filled and my suit was all gas and went to work smeling as gas. Also this can be really dangerous . In the past under the service bulletin 14-001-11 i lot of jeep owners changed this part for free but now the dealers are not changing it anymore and asking almost 1500$ to fix this issue was caused by jeep. Jeep needs to reacall this cars and pay change the gas tank
Fuel does not shut off while filling tank, leading to overflow onto vehicle, ground, keys, person.
I was fueling the jeep and went back to sit in jeep, and when tank was full, it spit out gas all over jeep and ground. This is the first time it happened since i owned the jeep for a month.
Whenever i fill my tank, it spits gasoline out all over the place. The overflow valve in the stem doesnt work. Not only is this an expensive issue as gas is lost at each fill up, but also environmentally unacceptable.
When filling the fuel tank, gasoline ejected from the fuel tank onto myself and the ground! this has happens everytime i attempt refuel the tank. I have tried to use different fueling stations, i never "top off" the tank and now must manually shut up the pump before it fills up leaving me with only 3/4 tank.

Filling the jeep up with fuel it spits a lot of fuel out when it gets full and several times getting on my cloths and shoes. I've read that a lot of people are having the same issue. If i were to get back in the jeep and would get static and ignite my cloths and burn myself badly i don't think this would be good for anyone. I've read that certain dealers are replacing the tank for free and others aren't .is there a recall or fix in the works for this or do people have to burn up to get any action? please advise
Fuel spits back every time you fill the gas tank. The pump stops filling and then the car ejects fuel from the tank and it goes everywhere!
I was driving with friends when i noticed that the vehicle was not functioning properly. Overheating, ac stopped working, and an odd speed fluctuation. I informed the people i was with that i was going to drive to the main road. Before i got there, about 50 feet, the whole vehicle was engulfed in flames. The flames went over the top of the jeep. Luckily the flames died down briefly enough for me to jump out . I lost everything in the jeep and the jeep itself. Upon contacting jeep, they said it wasn't their fault rather it was my fault. Clearly something malfunctioned and i almost lost my life.
I noticed that when i fill the gas tank instead of it clicking and shutting off, gas always shoots back out and down the side of the vehicle. This happens on a weekly basis.
I purchased the vehicle in august of 2013. Every time i fill the gas tank up it overflows. The automatic shut off at the pump does not shut off until there is gas spilling out all over my vehicle, the nozzle and the ground. It happens 100% of the time.
Every time during fuel fill up on 07 jeep wrangler 4dr unlimited x, the fuel will spit anywhere from 1-3 pints back out of the gas tank all over the vehicle and the ground. I find this a major safety concern for both emissions and very possible fire hazards, not to mention the irritation of wasted gas over time= wasted hard earned money. Upon research, its a poor design within the gas tank and/or the evap sensor on the evap canister.please help us customers by getting chrysler/jeeps attention to recall this poor design that is affecting thousands of jeep owners.
The paint on the door hinges on my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara began showing signs of rust.presented vehicle to local dealer, and chrysler agreed to repaint the hinges under warranty.within one week, paint on hinges began bubbling.chrysler again agreed to repaint hinges under warranty.in talking with body shop, the issue is that the hinges are an alluminum alloy, and, with the steel hinge pin and the steel door, galvanic corrosion has occurred, and will continue to occur.sounds to be a fundamental design flaw (fundamental metallurgy).hinges have been repainted a second time, with indications that the paint is beginning to bubble.body shop has advised that the problem will continue until hinges are replaced with a similar metal or stainless steel.advised by body shop that they have done the same repair on approximately 6 other jeep wranglers with the same issue.after a sort internet search, it appears as though this is a common issue that chrysler has not addressed appropriately.
On thurs june 25 at apx 1800 hrs both halves of the freedom top on my 2007 jeep wrangler flew off the car at 55 mph. The fiberglass failed and the tops tore away from the metal latches. I got fiberglass in my eyes and hurt my neck in the process. The tops were firmly secured and had not been off the car in at least six weeks.during those six weeks i had driven in excess of 55 mph with out a problem had anyone been driving behind me the certainly could have been injured or killed. I retrieved the tops from the hwy and have them as evidence i contacted chrysler and they refuse to acknowledge the problem or take any kind of corrective action the car has 40,000 mi on it. My insurance co says i am not covered for the damage. I have pictures of the damaged tops any help would be greatly appreciated.
When driving my vehicle in windy conditions or when passing trucks on the highway either from the front or rear, the hood will move up and slam against the stop. It is so hard you can see the movement and hear the hood hit the safety catch. It will do this anytime there is a buffeting wind from the front or side. I am concerned the the hood will fail and come off and hit the windshield with a disastrous force.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4.while driving 65 mph or greater in windy conditions, the hood would vibrate and elevate half an inch.the dealer installed two rubber stops under the hood; however, the failure continued.as of november 13, 2007, the dealer had not repaired the vehicle.the failure mileage was 800 and current mileage was 15,140.updated 01-11-08.the consumer stated the dealer informed him to put a weather strip on the vehicle but this method did not correct the defect. Updated 12/12/07
From a stop i engaged first gear and started accelerating. There was a loud bang and the transmission disengaged from first gear. This has happened multiple times in the one month i have owned the vehicle.
The 2007 jeep wrangler 4 door has seemed to have several complaints regarding violent shaking. This has happened to me several times where the vehicle shakes so violently it feels like you are having a tire blown out. It almost throws you off the road. I was almost in an accident on the highway. I am nervous and do not think this vehicle is safe.
At a complete stop when you stick your jeep in first gear for a manual transmission and go to accelerate, the jeep will make a loud pop/bang sound as the stick pops out of first gear in a violent fashion.i have come close to an accident twice where i was attempting to cross multiple lanes of traffic.it only happens in first gear and it only happens once in a while.jeep won't fix it because they can't replicate it.my jeep is now out of warranty and they now acknowledge the problem, but want me to pay to have it fixed.this problem is dangerous and will end up killing someone if it hasn't already happened.jeep needs to do a recall on this issue.many people are posting this problem on the internet and jeep is not being upfront about it.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler rubicon. The contact stated that while traveling at unknown speeds, the transmission fluid suddenly boiled out of the vehicle. The boiling fluid then made contact with the exhaust and caused a fire. The contact sustained back and knee injuries as well as smoke inhalation. A police report was not filed.the vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where the failure was confirmed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 28,000.
Bought my auto-transmission jeep wrangler unlimited x 2007 (jk) last november, took it to an 4 hour trip (first time long trip) in april.on our way we noticed that the control panel for radio became hot. We stopped a little bit thencontinued to drive.suddenly there was a "hot oil" warning light up.we had to stop again and wait for another 2 hours to hit the road. I have never done towing or off-roading or anything - just driving in 2-wheel drive on a high way, why the hot oil light went off?then i did some search and find a lot of wrangler catching fire videos on yutube. And people complaining about "hot oil" and insufficient transmission cooler.i find that there is a recall for auto-tran 2010 model to install an additional cooler.i also found that the 2011 and 2012 model jeep wrangler auto-tran come with the additional transmission cooler.but how about 2007, 2008 and 2009 model?the problem is endemic to 100% of automatic jks. The risk of fire or transmission damage when using the vehicle in a manner consistent with it's intended use is utterly unacceptable. It is also illegal!
Engine oil not registered on dip stick when checked. Had to add 3 quarts of oil to get to register to bottom of dip stick. Oil has been changed every 3-6k miles since took ownership in 2007. Engine light does not come on when oil is low. Problem experienced a 2nd time 5/26/2012.checked oil and no engine oil on dipstick. Oil was changed/filled on 1/19/2012 (have records from mechanic) and only approximately 5k miles drive in that time and again 3 quarts required to even get oil to register on dip stick and again engine oil light never came on in past 5 months since last oil change. Engine appears to be "burning through" excessive amount of oil with no indication of low oil in vehicle at any time.
Jog slips out of first gear violently. The gear doesnt stay engaged and this is very dangerous when pulling out in traffic. This happens quite often. When it pops out, you are a standing duck.
The automatic shifter linkage pops off and the automatic transmission will not switch gears. This is dangerous. You may think you're in park when you're actually in drive causing the vehicle to move forward unexpectedly. This will cause an accident, vehicle damage and bodily injury.
Transmission lines are leaking where the rubber hose connects to the two steel lines.transmission fluid could come in contact with a hot source and cause a vehicle fire.all of this at only 50k miles.jeep has a recall for 08 thru 10 jeeps for the same issue that is happening with 07 jeeps.
Transmission pops violently out of first gear upon acceleration causing the vehicle to lurch and pause/stop suddenly.this has been going on for years with increasing severity and occurrence.the vehicle, when in first gear, is most often in the middle of turning or crossing an intersection.this has been going on for years with increasing severity and occurrence to the point we felt it dangerous so we finally took it to a dealer.despite it being known issue for this make/model, jeep refused to help fix the problem citing the age of the vehicle and warranty expiration.

I informed the people i was with that i was going to drive to the main road. Before i got there, about 50 feet, the whole vehicle was engulfed in flames. The flames went over the top of the jeep.

Clearly something malfunctioned and i almost lost my life.
As i was pulling out from a green light, the manualtransmission shift lever was violently thrown out of 1st gear into neutral. The gear shift lever actually left a small bruise on my right hand. I contacted the local dealership. And was told that a tsb was out addressing the issue. I was told that the "inner" shiftboot needed to be removed, and/or replaced. I did exactly as they said and removed the inner shift. I did not replace the outer as i wanted to see if this solution worked. It did not.this happens everytime any power is applied and the vehicle is in 1st gear. My wife almost caused an accident as she was unaware of this problem. As she pulled into the flow of traffic,the transmission violently shifted in neutral, and she was almost hit from the driver pulling out behind her.
Dealer working on replacement of exhaust manifolds, broke bolt going into head, have to remove entire head, to remove broken bolt, as well as reinstall with new gasket, then proceeds to shock the jeep and now a new power control module needs to be replaced , this dealer is inadequate to say the least, nemer, saratoga springs, ny.
Fire started under the car somewhere between the engine and transmission.glow of the flame was towards the back of the engine compartment and towards the center of the car.fire worked its way forward and engulfed the engine compartment.car was in motion exiting from the highway onto an off ramp when issue was noticed.
My wife and i have experienced at least five (5) incidents where the vehicle engine stalls/kills and either restarts itself or has bemanually restarted via ignition key.the symptoms mirror exactly those described in nhtsa action number pe07027. (driving on highway when vehicle dash lights up as if freshly started, and sometimes needs to be manually restarted, and sometimes has restarted itself)the first incident was experienced by my wife in august of 2009, and the vehicle was subsequently inspected by jeep dealer [xxx] motors of minocqua, wi, who after inspection and road test reported "no trouble found." (per my invoice dated 8/24/09)at that point the vehicle was under warranty with 33,054 miles on the odometer, and i was charged $35.25 for that service item.the most recent incident occurred october 14, 2013, and was witnessed by my son.in that case i was driving approximately 75 mph on i-70 approaching i-15 in utah when the engine stalled.the vehicle needed to be manually restarted via key.that was the 3rd incident i've experienced in the past 5 months.
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.
The issue is leaking transmission lines in 2007 - 2012 jeep wranglers equipped with automatic transmissions.the transmission lines that lead from the transmission to the radiator are leaking where the lines change from metal to rubber.according to many people on a www.jkforum.com and other jeep forums on the web, this is a wide spread issue.if someone is not aware of the leak, it could result with all the transmission fluid to leak out and the transmission to over heat.if this happens, the transmission would fail and cost the consumer $1,000's to have repaired.also, if the transmission fluid leak is serious, the transmission fluid could spray onto the exhaust or engine block and catch fire. Leaking transmission lines are happening to too many jeep wranglers and it is not fair for all these consumers to pay for these damages.the cost to replace the faulty transmission lines could range between $200 and $300 depending on where you live.and once again...it is not fair for the consumer to even pay this amount to repair something that is happening to so many jeep wranglers from the manufacture years of 2007 - 2012.when i call my dealership to price the transmission lines, they have to order the part because they are sold out.i have also heard that the replacement lines have a new part number (which makes me think they have been redesigned) and are on back order.

1: driving at highway speed with 3400 miles on the car.2: all dashboard lights came on and engine stopped. Within a few seconds, the vehicle resumed operation.3: nothing has been done. I have been researching and waiting for this issue to occur, as it has for many other 2007 jeep wrangler owners. It will be going in to the dealer, but as of late, there is no "fix" for this issue.
Rear main oil seal leaking.
Backing out of parking spaces and turning a corner at very low speeds, caused the esp and bas dash lights to come on and stay on. All the dash lights have come on at speeds of 5 mph while driving in a parking lot, vehicle acted like it was going to stall, but did not turn off. Took the jeep in for service, dtc's were scanned dtc stored codes were found, c2205 steering angle sensor internal, c121a, steering angle sensor not initialized. All stored dtc codes were cleared and all modules were checked and new software, abs52059883ae was installed.automatic transmission vibrates between 35-40 mph, dealer could not recreate vibration or find cause.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4. While driving between 30 and 60 mph on normal road conditions, the transmission shifted from first to second gear without driver intent. The vehicle remained engaged in second gear as he pulled over to the side of the road. The engine was shut off and once restarted the vehicle resumed normal operation. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The failure mileage was 39,000 and the current mileage was unknown.
2007 jeep unlimited 4 door 4x4 purchased new in april, 2007vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission. Within 3 weeks after purchase of vehicle i was proceeding up a hill when the transmission shifted out of gear on its own and into what seemed to be neutral causing the vehicles rpm's to increase from 2000 to over 4000 rpms while the vehicle slowed down. After release of the gas pedal the vehicle went back into gear. The vehicle repeated this in july while pulling a pop-up camper down the interstate going uphill. When the vehicle went to automatically downshift it went into a neutral mode. This almost caused a vehicle behind me to rear end me since i lost power and began to slow without any brake lights coming on. Once again the vehicle went back into gear after release of the accelerator. At that time the vehicle was taken to the dealer for repair however since the dealer could not create the problem again and no computer codes were stored the dealer could not do any repairs. As time goes by the condition is getting worse however dealer cannot find a way to fix the problem. I am very concerned since the intermittent problem can happen at anytime especially when quick acceleration is needed.
Chryslers recall for the temperature warning addressed the symptom not the problem. The transmissions are still overheating in the wrangler.the solution is a $50 transmission cooler. This can happen both when off roading(which the wrangler is built for) but others in our jeep group have had the situation happen on road.my situation happened while driving on approximately a 20% grade on a dirt road at 20 mph---hot oil light came on and was forced to stop driving to allow cooling---later found out from the jk-forum online jeep group that this is very common and that dealerships are not correcting with transmission cooler...but it is something you can do yourself if you have some mechanic skills.the issues is...if you add the cooler chrysler can void you warranty.please look into this as i said their recall under your number 09v436000 addressed the symptom but did not solver the real issue---[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler.when driving over a bump in the road, the vehicle started shaking and vibrating. The wheels also moved to the left and right which caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The first time the incident occurred, he was able to stop the vehicle and drive it to the dealer. The mechanic replaced the exhaust system and a steering arm damper with an oversized one. The brake lines and transmission were also repaired. The failures recurred continuously after the repairs were made. The dealer has unsuccessfully made 15 attempts to repair the vehicle. The contact has refused to drive the vehicle due to the safety risk involved. The contact has requested that the manufacturer and the dealer allow him to return the vehicle; however, they agree that they are unable to diagnose the failure. The contact is certain that the failure is a manufacturers defect. The failure mileage was 3,000 and the current mileage was 55,000.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4.while driving at 65 mph the steering locked, instrument panel dimmed, and the vehicle shut off.the vehicle restarted automatically approximately four seconds later.the vehicle was taken to a shop and no failures were found.this morning, while driving 65 mph the failure's recurred.the contact stated that the radio shut off without warning and the vehicle automatically restarted four to five seconds later.the contact never turned thekey in the ignition, changed lanes, or changed gears when the vehicle restarted.the dealer could not duplicate the failure and stated that the vehicle had an investigation open with nhtsa, action # pe07009regarding electrical system power train:automatic transmission:control module (tcm, pcm)).the current mileage is 4,971,and failure mileage was 2,000.updated 06/26/07
Vehicle has stalled while driving 45mphon exit ramp and 65mph on highway.vehicle restarted right away as it's a manual transmission.all dash warning lights lit up like when first turning vehicle on.didn't notice loss of power steering as i was going straight both times.didn't file complaint before because i didn't know i could.was just waiting for jeep to come up with the solution and then take it in for it.
2007 jeep wrangler violently pops out of first gear.happens daily and will eventually lead to a accident.it is just a matter of time.i was almost rearended on numerous occasions.chrysler tsb 21-001-10 fixes the issue but in warranty only.this is a safety issue and a recall should be issued.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited rubicon model 4x4 with a manual transmission.the vehicle will intermittently slip out of first gear causing a loss of acceleration.this can be very unsafe while executing a left hand turn with oncoming traffic.i have had the vehicle into the dealership approximately five times and they refuse to acknowledge the problem stating that they are unable to replicate the issue.additionally, the vehicle will occasionally be difficult to go into gear and will make a grinding noise.i did not have any issues with this until i had approximately 28,000 miles on the vehicle. The problem is intermittent and can occur multiple times in one day or not at all for several days.i have not had any accidents as a result of the issue but i feel it is highly unsafe and i am afraid for my spouse to drive the vehicle.
While driving at roughly 70 mph on highway throttle felt a little weird then the rpms dropped to zero as the electronic throttle control light on the dash came on. Immediately headed for the shoulder as i lost power steering and power braking although the electronic steering/braking system was alerted during my swerve towards the shoulder. The vehicle was very unresponsive. Upon reaching the shoulder the vehicle stalled. Turned off the vehicle, and then restarted it and cautiously returned home. Consulted the manual and it appeared that such events were expected and considered normalif the electronic throttle control light did not returned upon restarting the vehicle.the vehicle has shown signs of repeating this trouble and during those times i have let off the throttle, down shifted and then shifted up again in hopes that whatever glitch was occurring would be reset.conditions: late afternoon, 80*f, driving for about 45 minutes manual transmission , stereo was on.
A 2007 jeep wrangler 4dr. 4x4 with a manual transmission, is very difficult to get into 1st gear.often, when starting out, the transmission slips out of gear into neutral under load, resulting in an unsafe and startling condition.this occurs with all three drivers in the house, and also with someone who borrowed the car.however, the dealer claims not to be able to reproduce the problem, and offers the car for pick up.i see below that there is a request for the approximate incident date, but this is a recurring condition.
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 filesmy accelerator stuck , i was fortunate some one else was driving so i could see his feet and the floor matsnothing was stuckwhen 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 recalllike they did to toyotato date my jeep has only 22.000 miles on the odometer .good luck all
2007 jeep wrangler sahara stalled unexpectedly on two occasions while driving at low speed.the first time in early march 2007 it was pouring rain and i went through a big puddle which sent water under the vehicle.the car cut off and all the dash light lit up, and the seat belt went off.the car started back up in about 2 seconds by itself.i have assumed the water shorted out for a few seconds and thought nothing else of it.the second time it happened was on june 10, 2007. We were slowing down atstop light and it just cut out.the dash lights came on , the anti-skid light and another red light)i though the car behind us rear ended us because there was a little jerk , rear tires locked. We had to restart to car.it started right up and we continued on.i haven't been to the dealer yet.i was researching theproblemon the internet and saw there had been 53 reports of the same thing happening so i figured i should report it also.
Was in a car accident.the jeep was sitting at a traffic light when it was hit from behind by a saab 93 going about 30-40 mph.the seat belt did not catch on the jeep and thus my forehead struck the steering wheel.i was told by the jeep dealer that with this model jeep the seats belts do not catch unless they are engaged just right.so because i was in a stopped position and was at rest it would not have caught. I went to the emergency room following the accident with a severe contusion to my forehead.having said this, the jeep itself held up extremely well in the crash. The police man on duty said it was what saved me from further harm. I am nervous to drive this vehicle not knowing if the seat belts will work in the future. I also have 3 child seats in this car and worry about those as well. The dealership said they do not check these and wouldn't check it after the accident even though i requested it.the car was in their shop for 3 weeks.please investigate and let me know what can be done.
Air bag light is on,horn stopped working,esp and bak light is on n none of codes can be cleared
This has occurred while driving and while keys were not even in the ignition. I was driving down the road and the horn started honking, wipers went off and windshield fluid started spraying every where. It has done it several times. It has also done this just when opening the doors and no keys in the ignition. It blinks through the gears on the transmission and has locked up the traction control. I have had it in to the dealership several times and it is just now possibly diagnosed with tipm. Impart of a jeep club in which we have an online forum and this in not just happening to my jeep its happening to many jeeps and i feel its a major safety concern. Chrysler has paid for several of the jeeps on the forum, so far they haven't paid for mine but i think this issue really needs to be addressed.
Parking brake failure has occurred numerous times. Brakes will not stay adjusted. I've adjusted it at least a dozen times.
My name is [xxx]. I run a repair shop called glen allen service center. We have had 3 jeep wranglers (2007, 2007, and 2008) that have needed brake hose replacement in the last 4 months.the first one we noticed the hose was swollen where a rubber cover is made over the steel line crimp at the frame and the brake caliper. We advised the customer to replace it which he did. The other two were towed in with complete brake system failure (brake pedal to the floor). Chrysler has redesigned the hoses but there has been no recall issued.both chrysler dealers parts departmentsi deal with seem to not know about this.there should be a recall ordered as this is a serious safety issue.you can reach me at [xxx] if you have any questions. Thank you for your time.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Abs, traction control and esp lights all went on and stayed on.i do not believe that any of these systems was working, as the vehicle spun out at under 40 miles per hour on damp pavement the day after lights went on.took vehicle to dealership, and was told it was a wiring problem.charge was more than $300.00.told i had to pay because i had more than $36,000 miles on vehicle.
My engine stalls and jeep wants to turn off. I also am having brake problems rear brakes have been replaced 3 times in only 26,000 miles front brakes still look like new. Have taken it to dealer multiple time but they cant find out why its doing these things.
Brakes "lock up" when taking right hand, descending turns. I've had vehicle lifted by dealer and have had it in the dealers repair department 4 times and the problem still exists. Now they refuse to fix the problem and have voided my extended service warranty because of the lift kit they sold me.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler. While driving 60 mph down a hill the driver engaged the brakes and the brakes failed to operate. To prevent a crash the contact had to drive into a ditch.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, no repairs had been made at the time of the complaint . The failure and current mileages were 72000.
Uncontrolled reverse rolling / brake failure: 2007 jeep wranglerrubicon unlimited 4 door model. While i'm sure that no one will want to hear of a vehicle taken off-road, the rubicon is marketed & designed to do just such activities and does them extremely well.i have owned at least 12 jeep vehicles and this one is absolutely amazing for it's capabilities.i love it & can't say enough positive. Problem:when attempting to go up a steep hill, if you have to stop and roll back, the brake pedal goes 'stiff' and allows vehicle to free roll backwards until you smash into something which makes it stop.doesn't happen every time, but it's happened 3 separate times to me in my 900 mi i have on the vehicle.the pedal is totally stiff and the brakes will not apply.this most recent incident occurred over this past weekend and i almost ran over two people that were on foot behind the vehicle as i was allowed to roll uncontrolled backwards until i smashed into a rock approx 30' from where i wanted to stop.thankfully the rock was large enough to stop the jeep since i was on a pretty serious hill and no clue how far i would have rolled until most certainly a tree would have had to stopped me.in the stopping, i broke off a rear shock as i hit the rock.i've been driving jeep vehicles for over 25 years.i consider myself a very capable off-road driver and very comfortable in the situation & vehicle. I have been in this same off-road situation hundreds and hundreds of times.these 3 events are like nothing i've ever experienced ever.total non-usage of the brakes, pedal becoming stiff as a board with no grabbing at all.letting off and attempting to hit pedal doesn't assist at all.you're on a wild free roll ride backwards.very scary & dangerous.chances are, i'm going to have to pull the fuse on the electronic brake control system since it's truly going to injure someone either inside my jeep or anyone behind me sooner or later.
Inspection mechanic informed that at 48,000 miles the rear rotors are worn out. I cannot find any after market rotors only mopar. The front rotors are good and this just should not be. The front rotors should wear out first since the front should be doing most of the stopping at like 60 to 70 percent.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4.while driving 45 mph, the contact lost control of the vehicle and it shifted from left to right.he drove into a ditch, but was able to drive to his residence at 5 mph.the vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the front differential bracket failed.the dealer would not repair the vehicle because it had a tire modification.the esp sensor was reprogrammed three times, but the brakes continued to lock.the manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle to another dealer to have the front differential bracket replaced under warranty.the current mileage was 21,000 and failure mileage was 16.
Esp computer system failure, faulty abs module, electrical failure.
While driving my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara on the i35 north at approximately 70 mph, a slight bump caused a violent shaking of the tires and suspension system. The vehicle was nearly impossible to control, the steering wheel nearly shook out of my grasp. Braking compounded the issue. I was able to veer the vehicle to the shoulder on the road, where a lower speed allowed the vehicle to recover. The same thing occurred nearly 1 hour later as i returned home. This situation is not isolated to me or my vehicle, it has been coined as the "jeep death wobble" by hundreds of people online.
2007 jeep wrangler 4-door6000 miles.first incident:sunny clear dry road conditions. Took exit ramp off expressway and while attempting to stop at intersection the brakes failed.pedal went to the floor and jeep did not stop. After pumping brakes with no response i had to stop jeep by shifting into park.i was able to drive it, with brakes functioning less than a half mile home.i had the jeep towed (covered by warranty) the next morning.dealer inspected and test drove without being able to repeat problem.conclusion was no problem.second incident:sunny clear dry road conditions. Took exit ramp off expressway and while attempting to stop at intersection the brakes failed.this time i held brakes to floor and the brakes eventually "kicked-in" and stopped the jeep.this time i drove to dealer and after another inspection of the jeep there was no problem found?!?fortunately, both incidents did not result in any accidents as i was able to stop the jeep prior to entering the intersection.i'm praying there isn'ta 3rd incident!
When coasting to a stop, going uphill on a highway, the brake pedal locks-up when you put your foot on the brake.after a few seconds, it releases and brakes normally.this has happened 3 times at the same intersection (may 2007, august 2007, sept. 2007).all three times resulted in near-miss accidents.the vehicle was in for repair for this problem, but the dealer could not replicate it.even though he could not replicate the problem, the service manager advised us to get rid of the car because it was an obvious safety issue.on 9/14, while the car was still at the dealer, chrysler announced a recall for this incident and advised customers that had experienced this problem to take the car to the dealer immediately.ours has now been there for 6 weeks, with no end in sight.we have also had the engine stall when traveling on a twisty road near our residence. This has happened 1 time. This problem has occurred in the same model as ours, but was believed to have been addressed before ours was built.however, we still have the problem and no solution from chrysler.
Vehicle: 2007 jeep 4 door wrangler (unlimited)experienced complete loss of brakes while coasting uphill.i was approaching us-221 from a secondary road traveling uphill towards a stop sign. When i removed my foot from the accelerator and applied the brakes the pedal went to the floor making a grinding noise. I had no brakes to stop as i approached this busy highway which is heavily traveled by tractor trailers. I managed to stop the vehicle with the emergency brake just before entering the intersection. There was no stall from the engine during the whole event. If i had not acted quickly and panicked it is quite possible me and my family could have been severely injured or possible killed by entering this busy 55 mph highway. I was forced to leave the vehicle in the road and had to direct traffic around it for 1-1/2 hours while i waited for the chrysler'stow truck. Once again this created a dangerous situation for me and people entering the intersection. Vehicle is at dealer however dealer states he cannot find anything wrong with it and is waiting for a reply from chrysler on what to do. Chrysler stated yesterday on 9-17-07 that there is no recall for this item on my vehicle. National news states otherwise. Extremely dangerous problem with truck.
I had my vehicle electrical and brakes cut out 3 times (almost in an accident twice). I spoke to a dealership near me 3 times and one time they tried to replicate it.they said they did not know what caused it.through searching on this site, i found that it was a common problem and a recall (g25-reprogram tipm-engine stall) to fix it.the dealership played dumb to the issue until proof was shown, but still would not fix it because my vin# did not match recall specific list.chrysler also would not ok them to fix it (ref#16730876) because i did not have the right vin#, eventhough it is the right model, year, symptoms, etc.chrysler did not care that it was a safety issue and that it could be solved.i was told to try to replicate it for the dealership.concerned for safety, i went back to the dealership where i bought it.they instantly knew about the issue described and reprogrammed the tipm with no charge (they obviously understood the danger).chrysler needs to expand their recall list and change its policy on such a dangerous situation.luckily there was some humanity still around at the place where i bought it.
The brakes lock and keep sliding while going uphill or under other conditions.i have been in over two accidents within tjhe past three months and i never had an accident before.
The contact owns a 2007 chrysler jeep wrangler.while driving 40mph down a steep hill, the engine shut off.the vehicle lost the power steering and brakes.the fuel gage displayed empty;however, the vehiclehad a 1/2 a tank of gas.the dealer has been unable to diagnose the failure.the contact conducted a test four times and each time after 4 minutes the engine stalled, began to coast and the engine shut off.the mechanic was in the vehicle on one of those occasions.the current and failure mileage were 900.there were no injuries.

I have a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited x, automatic with 10,500 miles.i was traveling down an on ramp going about 40mph, light on the throttle and the jeep hesitated, all of the gauges (speedometer, etc) shut off (showed 0), then all of the dash lights came on.during that 2 second period, i had no power steering, brakes or control over the throttle of the jeep.this could have been much worse.i know there is a recall that covers this, but my jeep falls out of the production date to get it taken care of.the "build" date is feb. Of 2007.i am not the only one with the problem and the current recall is not taking care of this issue.this needs to be address before someone (like my family) gets seriously hurt.http://www.jk-forum.com/showthread.php?t=2634.
Jeep death wobble.
At hwy speeds when a bump is hit the front end and entire vehicle shakes violently like the front tires are going to fall off.this occurs just about every time a bump is hit.onlyway to stop it is to slow to 15 to 20 mph creating a traffic hazard. Ball joints, steering damper, front end parts, new tires to no avail.
While driving my 2007 wrangler, i hit a small bump on the freeway and the jeep started shaking violently to the point i could barely hold onto the wheel. I was actually on my way to the dealer to have a different recall serviced, so the service department looked at it. I was told that this is a common problem, and that all it would take is about $300 to replace the steering damper because the " factory ones always leak."
We purchased this jeep in september 2011 for our granddaughter and within one month after purchasing it she was driving on the highway about 60 mph when the front end began shaking violently and she was barely able to slow down, at which time the shaking quit.this same incident has been occurring sporadically ever since so we took it to a tire shop/mechanic and they replaced the shimmy shock and checked the tires at a cost of $201.22 on 6 october.the vehicle continued to shake on occasion so we took it back to the repair shop on 17 october and they suggested changing out the outer tie rod ends to see if that works at a cost of $184.46, but would not guarantee that it would solve the problem.i have since "googled" the words "death wobble" on the internet and have found that this is a common problem with the jeeps but apparently chrysler is not acknowledging that is a problem and most people are spending around $1000 in hopes of fixing the problem although it sounds like the only solution is to trade it in and let someone else deal with the problem.we went to visit family over the weekend in arkansas and the shaking was fairly frequent and now the granddaughter is afraid to even drive the vehicle.i would like to know why this vehicle is allowed to stay on the road since it is a hazard to not only the vehicle driver and passengers but to other vehicles on the road since the only way to stop the shaking is to stop rapidly on the road totally disregarding cars in front or behind you.i would also like to see some stats on vehicle accidents, specifically rear end collisions involving jeeps.
Hello, i bought a new 2007 jeep wrangler and have been having what theindustry calls the "death wobble" since the vehicle was new and it is now infor the 4th repair attempt and dealership is telling me that there isnothing they can do to fix it and that they can't replicate the problem this time, although they have now repaired it 3 times now over the last 2 years and were able to replicate the problem each of the other times. Now my new vehiclewarranty is within 200 miles of expiring now and i have a broken car that isin no way safe to drive.i will be driving to the mountains to ski this weekend in a snow stormso it should be scary as this is my only car.a simple search for my model year jeep online and death wobble will return an unlimited amount of information.obviously i am not the only consumer with this complaint.can you please advise whom i should contact to address this matter?i don't want to die or kill anyone.the "death wobble" occurs when i encounter a bump in the road at speeds over ~40mph and must be slowed to a near stop to make it quit.i can't seem to get anyone at chrysler to help me and the dealers can't fix it, what do i do?
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited - front end shakes violently at or above 55 mph after hitting small bump in road.steering wheel shakes back and forth violently, feels like wheels are goign to fall off or car will flip over - complete loss of control unless you slow down to 35mph - which is not easy to do on the highway in traffic.this occurs almost daily.to date we have replaced the track bar, replaced the tires, had the vehicle re-alligned and tires balanced.next step is to replace the steering stabilizer.so far no permanent fixes.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler: 4 door, 4x4 limited. Thecontact stated that while driving at approximately 65 mph on thehighway, the bracket separated from the steering axle. The contact noticed that when he attempted to brake, the vehicle did not respond; it finally stopped after a quarter of a mile. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for a diagnostics test and repaired. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were approximately 31,000.
Violent front end shimmy known as "death wobble".occurs at speeds of 40-50 mph.vehicle shakes violently and is uncontrollable.initially, tapping the brakes and slowing slightly would stop the shaking, but problem has progressed to the point that the vehicle needs to come to almost a complete stop to stop the shaking.this is a safety issue as the shaking poses an accident risk by virtue of losing control of the vehicle and/or a rear end collision, as there is nothing else to do but bring the vehicle to a sudden stop in order to regain control.this issue is well documented online and is the subject of technical service bulletin 19-003-06 (august of 2006).it should be noted, however, that this tsb does not fix the problem, it only masks the problem by adding a steering stabilizer.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4.while driving 55 mph, the entire vehicle shakes severely and the steering wheel shakes uncontrollably.the dealer stated that the steering stabilizer needed to be replaced.the current mileage was 13,000 and the failure mileage was unknown.
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.
In november 2008, while driving approximately 60 mph, vehicle began to shake violently and uncontrollably after hitting a small bump in the road.vehicle had to be pulled off the road and stopped to abate the vibration and regain control.took to dealer and dealer replaced the steering stabilizer shock.then, in february 2008, the problem recurred.dealer recommended the installation of a heavy duty stabilizer shock.upon picking up the vehicle from the dealer, the problem was significantly worse.vehicle could not be driven on the highway without experiencing the "death wobble," as it is commonly referred to.vehicle has been back to the dealer 4 more times for "retorquing of the suspension" and various other potential fixes.nothing has fixed or even mitigated the problem.vehicle's condition continues to worsen and is now virtually undriveable.even though under warranty, the dealership/chrysler will do nothing else.through research on this internet site and several jeep sites, i have learned that this is a common and dangerous problem.yet chrysler seems unwilling to openly consider a possible defect or even investigate my problem further.i called jeep/chrysler three times on 3/10/09 and was mysteriously disconnected during each call.
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.
I was driving to workon the freeway going around 60mph, hit a small bump and the jeep started to shake so violently my heart went out of my chest.i flipped on my hazards and made my way over to the slow lane, but the shaking stopped.when i arrived to work, i researched the "shaking" and found another name for it, "death wobble."i can't believe there hasn't been a recall on the parts that cause this, it hasn't caused any fatalities yet; but it will.
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.
As i was driving down the highway, i hit a bump and my whole jeep rapidly rattled back and forth across the road, nearly causing multiple accidents.it startled me severely, and i slammed on my brakes, slowly decelerating. It took until i got down to 25mph for it to stop shimmying.i pulled off the highway into the nearest gas station, checked my tire pressure and made sure there were no identifiable obtrusions that would affect performance, and carried on, very cautiously.this happens quite often, sometimes going as low at 45mph, but only when something in the road knocks it off balance.i do not feel safe in my jeep at all.
Vehicle goes into a very bad shaking and wobble of the front suspension, typically at highway speeds and after passing over a bump in the road, frequently even a very small bump.the only way to stop the rattle/wobble after it begins, is to come to a complete stop.i have had several repair shops examine it, alignment checked, tires replaced, suspension parts replaced.
We hit a bad patch in the road, and the jeep began to shake violently. My husband took his foot off the accelerator and let it slow down on it's own, i pushed the hazard lights, and we carefully moved into the emergency lane. We examined the tires and undercarriage not knowing what had happened. We thought maybe our shocks needed replacing which we subsequently did. This issue has occurred twice since. Again, the vehicle shakes violently and is very difficult to manage. We simply let the vehicle slow (without hitting brakes) and eventually, it comes back under control. Honestly, i am very uncomfortable in the vehicle at this point if we are on rough roads.
2007 wrangler sahara unlimited experiences violent shaking of the front end and transmission gear shifter when traveling between 35 and 50 mph on bad roads, this takes place when encountering a bump or pot hole. Garage suggested and installed a heavy duty steering stabilizer. Did not help. Then they told me the right front ball joint had some play and needed replacement. I am currently waiting to get this done but upon reading up on this "death wobble" i am not convinced it will be fixed without considerable expense on my part. This surely is a mfg defect and needs to be resolved. I have 51,000 miles on this rattle trap.the only solution i have as others is to come to a complete stop. This has not yet caused an accident but it is only a matter of time. I either don't drive it or get rid of it and a probably large loss of value to me.
Are jeep started shaking very badly. We have looked on the internet and seen that many jeep owners have had this problem , they are calling it the death wobble. Why is jeep not doing anything about this?
"death wobble"2007 jeep wrangler 4-door:unable to drive vehicle due to violent shaking starting at 50 mph regardless of road conditions, bumps or potholes.jeep serviced at 35,000: steering damper and left side ball joints replaced (under warranty).problem solved for the time being.at 60,000 (no longer under warranty) we have the same problem, violent shaking between 50-60 mph.looks and feels like the front wheels are falling off.it is incredibly unsafe.
My steering wheel has a clunk sound in it, when i drive on normal everyday streets..started at 10k miles now at 24k same issue.jeep wrangler 2007.
My 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited x 4x4, which is all stock and was purchased new, has developed the appropriately named "death wobble" which consists of violent shaking of the front end and steering wheel when hitting even a minor bump or depression in the road at speeds in excess of 45 mph.the shaking is so severe that one believes you feel as though you are about to die due to loss of control of the vehicle.the only way to stop the shaking is to come to an abrupt stop.inattentive drivers may not be aware of what is happening and this may cause an accident as the jeep driver is forced to brake.my warranty has expired and when i contacted the jeep dealership, they acted as though they had never heard of this.i took it to an independent mechanic who stated this was a rather common occurrence and that it would cost about $1700 to fix with replacing u-joints, and adding a stabilizer bar.from on-line testimonials, i am learning that this is simply a bandaid fix and that the ball joints and steering dampener need to be replaced for a true fix.i cannot believe that with as many problems as have been reported that chrysler-jeep has not issued a recall.i have parked my jeep for now while deciding what to do.my conscious will not allow me to trade it or sell it with the defect that i am aware of.i guess chrysler-jeep does not share my values.why hasn't there been any litigation over this issue?where are all the lawyers when you need them??
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4. While driving 50 mph on a mountain road, the steering wheel and the vehicle began to shake violently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the steering damper, both front and rear shocks and both front tires needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 54,000.
Was driving down the road going around 60 mph when front end begin to violently shake. Was unable to control vehicle. No precursor to the incident. Was in very heavy traffic at highway speeds. Caused great danger to myself and surrounding as i fought off the shaking and took it to the shoulder.
The steering is defective it allows the vehicle to violently shake and you lose control.i almost ran into a concrete wall along the interstate.i was accelerating up an entrance ramp and the vehicle began shaking so violently the hood was separating from the body i estimate at least 6" off side to side shake.i could not steer, just try to hold the steering wheel straight and allow the vehicle to slow down.the ball joints, tie rod joints, and track bar must be replaced.
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.
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.
When getting on to the expressway from an on ramp speed was about 30-40 mph i hit a few bumps causing the steering wheel to shake uncontrollable started to apply my breaks coming to almost a complete stop that's when the scary thing happened a semi was coming up behind me he slammed his breaks on and swerved to avoid me thank god he did not hit me witch could of been bad pushing me into traffic that is traveling 65mph +or running on top of me pulled up to the next off ramp looked under / checked everything all seemed ok got back home double checked nothing visibly wrong or loose looked on a web site to find that this is a common problem the steering stabilizer lacks something contacted the dealerships service manager he stated nothing has occurred like that to drop it off and they would look at it not wanting to go with a vehicle for a day i opted to spend the $26.00 to get a aftermarket one had my wheels balanced-rotated tire press 36# thins occurred again hitting a series of bumps.
Just as all the other 2007 jeep wranglers my clockspring has gone bad and my airbags and horn malfunction constantly.i filed a reports years ago but that seems to have been removed.i see that the 2008 jeep wranglers had this recalled, but 2007 jeeps were not good enough.guess our lives and the lives of our families don't mean squat.
2007 wrangler unlimited began shaking violently after going over a minor abruptness on the highway going 50 mph.almost lost control of the vehicle and had to slow to 25 mph on the highway to get it to stopshaking.this is the second time this has occurred, as i have already taken the vehicle to chrysler to fix this and now it is occurring again. This is a dangerous situation as the driver could easily lose control of the vehicle and the driver must brake hard and slow down immediately to gain control, thereby risking being rear-ended by the car behind him/her.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited, at speeds between 30-55 mph, the front tires can begin to shake and wobble violently. When it occurs, the vehicle is uncontrollable and the violent wobbiling can only be stopped by stopping the vehicle. Dealers claim there is no problem and will not/cannot fix it.
Driving down the freeway, went across a bridge. The jeep started the "death wobble". As soon as it went over the 'bump' on the bridge, the whole jeep started to violently shake, as if the whole thing was falling apart. I had to pull over on the freeway, come to a complete stop. Its under warranty, took it to dealer. They suggested an "after market"steering stabilizer, which i paid for with my own money. The 'death wobble' continues. Dealership telling me there's nothing wrong. Im pursing the matter.
1.during normal driving conditions at speeds above 50mph the front suspension will sometimes go into a violent oscillation.the steering wheel, shimmies so violently that it cannot be controlled.the entire vehicle feels like it is coming apart.not a simple wheel balance shimmy, this is a dangerous violent oscillation.2.it gets progressively worse as time goes on.3.it was taken back to the dealership, and they replaced the steering stabilizer which made the problem better, but it came back slightly, and progressively got worse, and worse.there is some underlying problem that the steering stabilizer is masking.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler 4 door that i purchased new.approximately one year ago i noticed that around 50mph the vehicle would shake and you almost had to come to a complete stop to get the shake to stop.the shake is not always violent, though it is progressively becoming more violent every time. Once the shaking was so violent that i almost lost control of the vehicle and almost went into the ditch.yesterday it was so violent that i almost lost control of the vehicle and was very close to running into a dump truck.a friend happened to be driving behind me and said it looked as if the entire jeep was going to shake apart and the wheels looked like they were going to fall off.i have had the jeep looked at and inspected by a mechanic and nothing is wrong with it.as i research this online it seems many jeep owners are experiencing this problem and have labeled it the "death wobble".chrysler does not seem to be responding to the problem though they appear to be aware according to a local dealership.at this point i am scared to drive my own vehicle and will not let my wife drive it nor do i want to put my child in it.i am lodging this complaint in hopes that this will get investigated and hopefully chrysler will understand that this is an extremely dangerous problem that numerous jeep owners are experiencing.i don't know what needs to be done to fix it.i do believe there needs to be a recall since so many people are having problems before it really causes someone to be injured or die because they loose control of their vehicle.i was really alarmed to see that it is so common people have named it "death wobble".
Takata recall....while driving about 68 mph on an interstate overpass today, my jeep went into the dreaded "death wobble". It was horrifying...i lost control of the vehicle and thought i would fall over the overpass. There was no warning, no bumps or pot holes. This is the scariest thing i've ever experienced on the road. It felt like 4 blow-outs simultaneously. I cannot believe there is no recall on such a dangerous issue.
I have noticed an increase in give / leeway in the steering column at approx 15,000 miles.the problem increased to the point where there is a popping felt through the steering wheel as well as both the accelerator and brake pedals when light pressure is placed on the front wheels while turning (turning at low speeds through traffic circles, going over uneven pavement while turning, small bumps in the road, etc).the feedback felt continues to get worse until the point it feels unsafe to operate the vehicle.i have had the vehicle back into the only 2 jeep dealerships within a 90 mile radius of my place of residence more than 3 times.at first the front end sway bar was replaced, to no avail.the 2nd time the steering column shaft was replaced, with only a short term alleviation of the problem.at first when the shaft was replaced, the steering felt as new (tight, with good control, and no feedback). After less than another 5,000 miles on the new shaft, the problem has returned and continues to get worse (currently at 23,000 miles).after speaking with the service manager at a local jeep dealership, he has indicated there is no problem aware within jeep to his knowledge, but has noted that he has had a few vehicles in his shop with the same problems.
I am the owner of a 2007 jeep wrangler and have had a major failure of the steering/suspension of the jeep. In researching this i find the complaint is a rather common failure. Do a google of "jeep death wobble" and scan selected items of 19000 hits for jeeps made from the 1990's to present.the jeep has 9500 miles.the incidence occurred at about a speed of 40-55 miles per hour after riding over frost waves in the road. The jeep went into a violent vibration mode where steering was very difficult and the jeep was out of control.the jeep when slowed to about 30 the vibration disappeared and it was slowly driven to a jeep dealer (owl chrysler jeep) honesdale, pa.eleven days later the jeep was returned perhaps repaired but some things don't seem right.i have met another person with the same / similar problem and on the internet find many complaints of what is referred to as a death wobble. Believe me a good description.had this occurred in winter weather, rain or on a curve i would perhaps be a statistic as there for a few seconds no control over the direction or steering of the vehicle.i believe that chrysler knows of this problem for what appears to be years and is still manufacturing vehicles with a design/material flaw.the repair number from owl is: r.o. Number 24079the parts replaced are: front lower control arms and bushings.old parts retained by dealer as perhaps warranty repair.the vehicle has never been driven off road and is basically babied.owl can be contacted at:owl chrysler jeep, inc250 grandview avenuehonesdale, pa 18431570-253-2640
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4.while driving 45 mph, the contact lost control of the vehicle and it shifted from left to right.he drove into a ditch, but was able to drive to his residence at 5 mph.the vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the front differential bracket failed.the dealer would not repair the vehicle because it had a tire modification.the esp sensor was reprogrammed three times, but the brakes continued to lock.the manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle to another dealer to have the front differential bracket replaced under warranty.the current mileage was 21,000 and failure mileage was 16.
Fuel over flows when filling up. Jeep shakes violently at random times. Air bag lights up and dings at random times
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4.while driving 60 mph, the vehicle began shaking violently and did not stop until the contact slowed down to less than 20 mph.the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they replaced the steering stabilizer, which appeared to have remedied the issue.the failure mileage was 23,000 and current mileage was 44,000.
I experienced "death wobble" twice yesterday.the first happened in a curve with oncoming traffic. There was no obstruction in the road. The second was shortly after on a straight stretch. Again, no obstruction in the road. This was so severe my passenger had to help steady the wheel to keep me from crashing into oncoming traffic.there are no after market parts and no lift installed on the jeep.
Death wobble.yes it's scary.first time on the freeway, then it was easy to duplicate after that at speeds about 40 mph when you hit a bump.i replaced the shocks, and checked torque on all front end components, same problem.i ordered a new track bar (pannard rod) which i found out had been upgraded, and welded reinforcements where the bar mounts on the axle and frame such that the bolts (also replaced) fit tighter.problem gone since, 25000 miles ago.all stock suspension and tire size.the denial from chrysler is unacceptable.
Death wobble!!! death wobble!!! as i was driving down the interstate with heavy traffic, i hit a bump goin 65 mph and suddenly with out any warning the front end of my jeep started rapidly wobbling back and forth across the road, nearly causing multiple accidents. It startled me severely, i was able to turn on my hazard lights and started to slowly decelerate while trying to steer to the shoulder. It took until i got down to 25mph for it to stop shimmying. I stopped on the shoulder to inspect the front end off the highway, checked my tire pressure, the shocks, axle and all other parts to see what broke. Everything appeared to be normal and i could not find anything that caused the sever wobbling back and forth of the front end, so carried on, very cautiously. This happens quite often, sometimes going as low at 45mph, but only when something in the road knocks it off balance. I do not feel safe in my jeep at all. The jeep dealer tells me there is nothing wrong with the jeep's suspension and i have had several independent mechanics tell me they dont know what to replace inorder to correct the problem that the only thing they have luck with fixing the issue is too replace the entire front-end along with the axle. This is the type of issue that this agency was established to correct. Something has to be done before people are killed due to a major enginnering defect by jeep.
At approximately 50mph if i hit a minor bump in the road my jeep begins to shake violently and control is lost to the vehicle to the point that you must come to a complete stop before regaining control. This is called "death wobble" by online communities and service repairmen.the incident almost caused a collision as i was unable to keep the car in my lane and ran another car into a ditch. Luckily no one was hurt or property damaged.
My 2007 jeep wrangler rubicon, with 77k miles has been back to the shop going on it's 4th time, i have questioned 3 cincy dealers, the factory & they all ignore the "death wobble", i finally got the parts manager at wyler dealership in cinti, ohio today, to say "yes, we did get a technical alert about the track bar", so we went to the dealership to get the dealer parts, this is after, i have tried 2 other heavier duty units, this dealer part is not working, i am now trying the $380 kit from a shop in arizona that claims to have the fix, wish me luck, before i have a wreck. This is absurd to read & see so much online about this problem and chrysler is ignoring it, my next step is my local tv station & talk radio. How many complaints have to be made, not to mention hard earned dollars spent & someone being in an accident before they pay attention...now having this dealership tell me a "technical alert" is different than a recall? makes me even madder...they are just on a "fix as needed basis?", so anyone out of warranty has to pay for the whole fix? wow where has accountability gone?
I have a stock 2007 wrangler unlimited x,6spd. It is one year old with 24,000kms. At approx. 8,000 kms it started to have a severe wobble in the front end after hitting small bumps at approx. 70 kms or more. The shake is very harsh and hard to control, it is a serious safety issue, the dealership had no answers until recently they tell me that its the tires and i need to get new ones at my own expense. The goodyear rep says that there is no defect with the tires but that chrysler has simply put an insufficient tire on the vehicle...why is this my problem...my vehicle is not safe!!!
As a citizen of the united states of america with constitutional rights and consumer rights, this is regarding the "old/new chrysler jeep death wobble"corruption by all parties involved..affecting 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 chrysler jeeps.after much research this chrysler jeep design/manufacture defect has existed for many, many years but the fact of the matter is the defect was not redesigned or designed outas far as chrysler and nhtsa are concerned, this dangerous and life threatening defect does not exist and will never cause death!, only crashes and accidents!we as consumers are liable for any negative outcome due to "the jeep death wobble"; and when the consumer gets in a crash, accident, injures someone, kills someone due to this defect, unless we can prove it was "the jeep death wobble" that chrysler and nhtsa say is not a safety issue or of concern (even though thousands upon thousands of jeep consumers beg to differ)we are liable for chrysler's safety defect that causes crashes and accidents that may lead to death to the consumer and those drivers sharing the road.drivers sharing the road also have a right to have jeep consumers driving safe vehicles.chrysler states "chrysler jeeps are built differently" chrysler consumers state what is different than safe??!!!nhtsa, an agency of the executive branch of the united states government and part of the department of transportation, describes its mission as save lives, prevent injuries, reduce vehicle related crashes.nhtsa is supposed to be promoting safety to all vehicles on the road not contributing to unsafe jeeps or any dangerous vehicles on the road!nhtsa is also denying the truth and leaving us the jeep consumers liable when they have thousands upon thousands of reports on the jeep death wobble (also known as the ?steering shimmy?) and all the stories are the same.
The past couple years i've noticed my jeep having a wobble while crossing 60mph, below 57 it stopped above 63 it stopped. I had new tires and balance completed. The wobble was still present. While driving down a 4-5% grade on state route 285 (4 lane divided highway most of the way) i touched the brakes and the front end started to violently wobble.. Enough to rip the steering wheel from my hands. This almost put me into oncoming traffic. The wobble finally stopped at 25mph. The tires chirped in tune to the vibration. I have to assume from loss of contact with the road. The vehicle jerked side to side during this wobbling. Once stopped i checked under the front end and only noted that my stabilizer was now leaking fluid and was bent. This happened around july 18th with my 8 year old in the vehicle.once i was able to get the vehicle back to town i took off the old track bar, did this due to the overwhelming number of posts on the internet. I took off the original bar and noted the back side of the upper and lower brackets "hollowed out" or oblonged. I removed the track bar and placed the bolts back into the mounts and wiggled them to assess if the mounts were out of round. I noted the bottom back mounting hole had approx. 1/4 inch of movement and the top back mounting hole had 1/8 inch of movement.i am currently seeing a jeep certified mechanic to have stainless steel washers added to the brackets to eliminate the source of the shaking. The mechanic stated this is a known issue that the brackets were made thinner then previous years. He also stated the "washer" fix is also a known solution to this issue.however i noted there isn't a smooth pivot surface on the bolts they are threaded and ate into the steel insert in the track bar bushing. I expected to find a bolt with a smooth surface for the bushing to ride on and threaded end for the nut.
I was driving at a steady speed of approximately 35, the steering wheel began to vibrate, and within seconds the steering was shaking so badly that i had to bring the car to a complete stop.after resuming my speed, the car was no longer shaking.since that time, i experience a slight to moderate shake at all speeds, and experience the "death wobble" almost daily at various speeds.i have followed all recommendations as far as tire rotation is concerned, as well as alignment when tires were purchased.i have since found the recent chrysler tsb regarding the death wobble, and am currently having the vehicles suspension and wheels checked.i want it on record that this vehicle is experiencing this problem daily.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle vibrated. No warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer for diagnosis. The dealer stated that the front suspension and tie rods needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacture had not been notified. The failure mileages was 50,000 and the current mileages was 110,000.
Severe wobble and oscillation in the steering and front suspension system. A small bump in the road, while driving anywhere between 35-70 mph can initiate a severe, violent shaking, and a complete loss of steering control. After replicating the problem on a private road, observers outside the vehicle noted that the front tires would completely leave the ground on each oscillation. Many other jeep wrangler owners report similar incidents.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4dr 4x4. At speeds over 50 mph, the front tires begin to shake and wobble violently. The shaking only stopped after i came to a complete stop. This happened after i hit a bumpy road. My jeep has been a street vehicle and really not going on the highway many times. I only have under 9,000 miles. Now that i live in california, and i have to drive in highways, i feel very uncomfortable driving speeds over 50 miles per hour.
As i was traveling on 95 towards baltimore i hit a bumpy patch in the road, my 2007 jeep wrangler4 door started shaking violently and became uncontrollable. It felt as though all four tires were about to fall off. It was quite difficult to control the jeep and i barley made it to the shoulder with out hitting another car. The next day it happened again traveling about 45 mph. I then took it to the dealership and they replaced the tie rod and the steering chassie with "reengineered parts"this violent shaking is commonly known as "death wobble" and there are countless documented instances of this in testimonial and video form on the internet. The jeep dealership said "oh you have the death wobble" but after contactingchrysler they knew nothing of this problem and will refused to pay for the repairs the jeep was justbarley out of warranty. This is an extremely dangerous defect with this vehicle. The jeep is out of control until it comes to a stop.
Violent front end shake at 50 mph
Drive a 2007 4-door wrangler. Within 6 months of purchase, hit a small bump going around 50 mph on highway. Car steering vibrated uncontrollably moving about 2-inches side to side. No shoulder available (caused other cars to swerve away from me)but after breaking, it eventually stopped. Asked dealer service workers (while it was being looked at for second recall for computer/breaks) why this was happening, they claimed "that is what jeeps do". Happened 4 more times until a witness from the road pulled me over to tell me "he thought my right front wheel was going to come off." jeep claimed to have never heard of it before. (there are website about "death wobble" everywhere).brought to dealer, fixed tie rod. Happened again, said it might be a bad tire. Will be at my expense. Called tire manufacturer, to start a file.
Onsunday , october 10,2010, my husband and 16 3/4 yr old sondrove to long island, ny from our home in nj in our 2007 four door jeep , just as he was getting on southern state parkway ,going 60-65, the jeep shook uncontrollably. He thought the wheels were coming off. It took all he had to control the car . He pulled over, jeep looked fine and he drove 50 remainder of way andthen home. We went to jeep dealership ( world jeep shrewsbury nj)the following dayto get an appointment for it.to our astonishment the service manager told my husband that what he experienced was calledthe "death shake" or "death wobble" ... We were not able to get an appointment until 10/13/10. I arrived home and googled "jeep death shake " and came upon pages and pages of other consumers describing and complaining of the same scenario. Http://www.wranglerforum.com/f12/jeep-death-wobble-62728.html the jeep on wednesday 10/13/10 was repaired: the jeep had to have its "steering dampenerremoved and replaced due to a leaking wheel shake"world auto group shrewsbury did the repair for a "good will $50 deductible"this was because i contacted chrysler and complained. We are very upset because our son could have been driving that car. He gets his official license in december . Had he been driving ,my husband feels he would not have been able to control the car. He thinks it might have been even difficult for me. This situation is documented all over the internet, the jeep dealership is obviously aware because they told us it was called the death shake. There needs to be a recall!!
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4 door 4x4.while driving 50 mph, the steering shook violently.through research, the contact discovered that the failure was a death wobble, in which the vehicle's harmonic action causes the front end to vibrate.the vehicle will shimmy severely to the point where it needs to be slowed down or pulled over.the dealer stated that nothing could be done and found no failures with the vehicle.the vehicle is currently at her residence and has not been repaired.the failure and current mileages were 52,000.
While driving on the expressway, the steering began to wobble and shake violently.this has happened again several times, even after having the tires balanced and an alignment.a couple of times it nearly caused me to go off the road into a ditch.i also experienced this with my 1997 jeep wrangler 2 door 4x4.i caused me to go off the road, into the ditch and through a fence.i became aware that this is a problem with jeeps in general, when i saw a news report on tv about it.i had been told by the jeep dealer/service department it was an alignment problem or tire problem.now i see this is a manufacturer problem.
I was on highway and i got what i now find out is common in my car the death wobble. I had to come to a complete stop on the highway to make it stop. Very scary and deadly.
The first occurrence happened in a construction area.i spoke with the service rep from the dealership, and they stated that the steering damper needed to be replaced, to the tune of $275 not including labor.i did not get the work done because something didn't seem right, based on the service reps "it isn't a big deal" statement.i had my tire balance checked, and during a 1400 mile drive, never had another occurrence.i asked if anyone else complained about "death wobble" (a term picked up when i explained the problem to a group of 4x4 enthusiasts), to which i received a negative response.it was at fire stone that was informed of tsb's on the steering.just recently, the vibration in the steering has become noticeable during low speeds and rougher roads.at approx. 60 mph, i experience "death wobble".the front end and steering shake violently until i can pull the vehicle off the roadway.this happens at 60 mph, usually accelerating up hill, around corners and occasionally on straightaway that have a lot of expansion joints.60 mph seems to be the magic number. Last week (approx jan 28th) i was traveling over the local expansion bridge.i felt slight vibration in the steering, backed off the accelerator and signaled to move onto the exit ramp to i-26.the death wobble kicked in, almost throwing me into two vehicles.i managed to slow the vehicle and avoid running off the roadway.
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. Driving on the highway the other day and 3 different malfunction indicator lights came on in a matter of seconds, jeep powered off. No power steering or brakes, traveling approximately 60 mph. 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.what is chrysler going to do about these issues.?
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4dr 4x4. While driving approximately 65 mph, the contact encountered a bumpy road and the vehicle began to jerk violently. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer one year ago for the similar failure and the steering damper was replaced. The contact was in the process of taking the vehicle to an authorized dealer for the most recent recurring failure. The approximate failure mileage was 47,000. The vin was unavailable.
While driving my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara on the i35 north at approximately 70 mph, a slight bump caused a violent shaking of the tires and suspension system. The vehicle was nearly impossible to control, the steering wheel nearly shook out of my grasp. Braking compounded the issue. I was able to veer the vehicle to the shoulder on the road, where a lower speed allowed the vehicle to recover. The same thing occurred nearly 1 hour later as i returned home. This situation is not isolated to me or my vehicle, it has been coined as the "jeep death wobble" by hundreds of people online.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited with approx. 15,000 miles.when driving between 40-50 mph and hit a small bump, front end begins a sustained violent shaking that requires the vehicle be nearly stopped before shaking goes away.has happened five times (highway on ramp, highway off ramp, straight driving on city street and on county road).initial dealer response was that they had not heard of this before and said it drove fine.two more incidents and a phone call to the dealer and they said that there is a huge problem with the four door jeep wrangler and that there is a national back order on the steering damper.i am on the list for these when they become available at the end of the month.
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.
As i was driving on the highway, reaching speeds of approximately 60mph, i hit a rough patch in the road and the jeep begin to shake back and forth very forcefully, pulling to the right. Once i let off the gas and the jeep slowed down to approx. 40mph, it finally stopped. Every time i hit a rough patch it will shake violently. My husband and i have named this "the death wobble".
I own a 2007 jeep wrangler x 4 dr. 4x4while driving down the road it will start violently shaking to the point you cant control the steering it occurs when the right front tire hits a small bump in the road the only way to correct this is to come to a complete stop then start again i drive the interstate to work i have had the jeep into the dealer and they replaced a part on the steering did not help i have taken it to another dealership they said they couldn't find anything wrong something needs to be done before some body gets killed then it will be too late.
Experienced the infamous 'death wobble'. My wife called scared to death and wasn't sure she could make it home because front end had started shaking violently. I thought she may have dropped a wheel weight. Took it to the mechanic, spent over $450 for new stabilizer and steering shock, wheel rotation, and balance, and problem was not solved. Took it back to the mechanic, he tried again, and did not charge me. He researched the problem on the internet and discovered all the complaints there. No one has a fix for this. Chrysler says all solid front axle vehicles do this. Bull! why would anyone want a solid front axle vehicle if they all do this? it's scary. You have to immediately brake to stop the shake and hope no one is right behind you. I can't believe there hasn't been a recall or a solution forwarded for the problem. There are tons of complaints all over the internet. Always wanted a jeep but i'm afraid to drive the thing at highway speeds. Something's got to be done. Someone is going to get hurt eventually. I can't believe no one has been rear-ended or something hasn't shaken loose with all that violent vibration.
While driving thru construction at approximately 45 mph my 2007 jeep wrangler sahara unlimited started shaking and wobbling violently. It was so terrifying and we had no idea what was happening. My daughter and i were taking my grandson to children's hospital and had another 70 miles to travel ahead of us and were scared to continue in this vehicle. We had to slow to almost a stop to get it to stop wobbling. We got off the hwy and found a jeep dealer who rented us a car to finish our trip as they tried to repair my jeep. I had only bought it 34 days before this happened but have owned jeeps for the last 18 years. When we retrieved the jeep, they replaced the steering dampener shock and said i should consider upper and lower ball joints. We made it home slowly afraid it may happen again. My fiance and i took it to the dealer we got it from the next morning and left it there for them to examine, they said the ball joints look fine and could not find anything wrong. We did some research and found that we are not alone it is called "death wobble" and with good reason, it feels like you are going to die. The next day we had a meeting with the salesman and his manager, they said we need to put in a complaint with chrysler and the would speak to their chrysler rep. As they have never heard of it. That day it happened again when my fiance was driving it as he was getting on an off rampat 50 mpr. This is a very dangerous defect that could kill someone. I know if i trade it in some other family will get it and i don't want anyone else to go thru this. Please please help us.
Was driving in normal road and weather conditions on i-680. Vehicle started violently shaking side to side, the steering wheel was shaking out of control. I was in extremely heavy traffic and had to slow down to about 30 mph for the shaking to stop. This is the third time this has happened since the first of the year. I took the vehicle for repair after the second incident to have steering parts replaced, but it did not remedy the incident. I am extremely scared to drive the vehicle - especially with my wife and three kids.
While traveling on interstate at posted speeds every rough patch of roadway or going over a bridge (bump entering or exiting bridge) the steering wheel would shake violently. I would let off gas, gently apply brake and pull onto shoulder to get control back of vehicle. Sometimes i would have to come to a complete stop before the shaking would stop other times between 5 to 20 mphs the shaking would stop. This was a 300 mile trip home, ireduced speed to see if this would decrease the effects, it seem to help where roads were smoother but happened nearly just the same. The vehicle is equipped with electronic stability control which never activated. It has happened numerous time since dec 17 2011.
Driving at highway speeds,vehicle randomly starts shaking violently.stops when i take foot off gas or put on brake.also occasionally hear a clunk when stopping and making a turn.
Severe shaking in front end, feels like my tires are falling off, when i am on highway! hard to hold steering wheel in place, i have to pull over and stop in order to get the jeep under control. I believe this is called death wobble. I am so surprised after all the complaints about this issue there has been no forced recall! i am surprised we didn't crash and cause a pile up on highway!

The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler.when driving over a bump in the road, the vehicle started shaking and vibrating. The wheels also moved to the left and right which caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The first time the incident occurred, he was able to stop the vehicle and drive it to the dealer. The mechanic replaced the exhaust system and a steering arm damper with an oversized one. The brake lines and transmission were also repaired. The failures recurred continuously after the repairs were made. The dealer has unsuccessfully made 15 attempts to repair the vehicle. The contact has refused to drive the vehicle due to the safety risk involved. The contact has requested that the manufacturer and the dealer allow him to return the vehicle; however, they agree that they are unable to diagnose the failure. The contact is certain that the failure is a manufacturers defect. The failure mileage was 3,000 and the current mileage was 55,000.

I have a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited x, automatic with 10,500 miles.i was traveling down an on ramp going about 40mph, light on the throttle and the jeep hesitated, all of the gauges (speedometer, etc) shut off (showed 0), then all of the dash lights came on.during that 2 second period, i had no power steering, brakes or control over the throttle of the jeep.this could have been much worse.i know there is a recall that covers this, but my jeep falls out of the production date to get it taken care of.the "build" date is feb. Of 2007.i am not the only one with the problem and the current recall is not taking care of this issue.this needs to be address before someone (like my family) gets seriously hurt.http://www.jk-forum.com/showthread.php?t=2634.
Just entered onto expressway and hit a bump and jeep violently shook and had to come to almost a comlete stop to regain control. Jeep is at dealer now. They think steering stabilizer problem. Jeep wrangler has stock tires and wheels.
(1) customer purchased new 2007 jeep wrangler 4 door (2) customer has taken in for service more than 4 times for major leak in the roof and problem still not repaired. Soft top leaks and floods interior, causing shoulder belt to saturate which may compromise and degrade harness over time. Also there's a wind-like sound from pillar, front passenger door pops open and is bowed, cowl is rusting, and black gook oozing out the pillarfollowing the repair attempts.(3) vehicle still leaking and saturating shoulder harness.
Rained and leaked water through factory soft top which damaged electronics.
I drive a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited and everytime i try to fill my gas tank the pump at various gas stations never shuts off and causes lot of gas spilling out of the fuel tank eroding the paint on my car and causing greater expense in fuel.

On thurs june 25 at apx 1800 hrs both halves of the freedom top on my 2007 jeep wrangler flew off the car at 55 mph. The fiberglass failed and the tops tore away from the metal latches. I got fiberglass in my eyes and hurt my neck in the process. The tops were firmly secured and had not been off the car in at least six weeks.during those six weeks i had driven in excess of 55 mph with out a problem had anyone been driving behind me the certainly could have been injured or killed. I retrieved the tops from the hwy and have them as evidence i contacted chrysler and they refuse to acknowledge the problem or take any kind of corrective action the car has 40,000 mi on it. My insurance co says i am not covered for the damage. I have pictures of the damaged tops any help would be greatly appreciated.
Death wobble-between 45-60 mpg. Shakes so violently that steering is impossible, must come to a stop to gain control. Dealership said they cant find anything wrong.
Fuel overspills and spits every time the tank is filled. This has been happening for years on and off. I have replaced evap. System parts with no resolution.
The 'heat barrier/ sound barrier' causing on the jeeps floorboards captures water which then completely rusts out the floor board. I thought it was just a freak deal with mine, but upon research and talking to others who own wrangle, i found this was pretty common. I also can feel the drivers floor getting very hot as there is now almost nothing between my feet and the aluminum heat shielding for the exhaust that runs just under the drivers side.
While driving the car the oil light came on but went off. I was on a narrow road and was about to pull off then lights started to flash and the clutch would not work i stopped and turned the car off but it would not stop. Then i tried to get out and the doors all locked on me.i got out and noticed what i first thought was a boiling radiator but when i went to lift the bonnet the car caught fire. Itwas gone in a matter of minutes. Jeep australia denied any cars had caught fire here and would not allow us to have forensics investigate. At 35,000 the clutch also had to be replaced which jeep also said was because i did not know how to drive a manual i had been driving for 17 years. I know there have been other cars here in australia with the sameproblems i have had
Water was first noticed in my vehicle when i first came out of work to go home. My vehicle was parked in a fire station parking lot overnight as i work 24 hours as a firefighter.i noticed a strong mildew odor and checked the floors and both rear passenger and driver side carpeting was soaking wet.i the pulled up the carpets and let the water drain onto the floor once this was complete i then pulled both drain plugs and let the water drain out.the total accumulation was approximately 1 1/2 inches of water.this was after a moderate rain no heavy gusts or anything of the sorts.i then called the dealership who then replaced all the door seals. They claimed they could not repeat the problem.again on another morning after another rain i came out from work and yet again more water in the same location.i also went home that morning and water began to leak on me from the outside and also began leaking onto the dashboard as well as from both a and b posts this water then leaked onto my wife who was sitting in passengers front seat, the water also began to leak onto my son's arm who was sitting behind me in his car seat .on the 2 most recent occasions the same thing occurred now i have water on the floor boards as well as under the front driver side carpeting that is completely saturated with rain water.both seatbelts are wet as well.i am now bringing in the vehicle for a third time for the same problem however, i did not pull the drain plugs as to allow the dealership to witness the alarming amount of water that leaks inside.anytime it rains this vehicle is getting saturated inside.now the interior smells like a wet dirty dog due to the water accumulating on the carpeting.the weather stripping on the doors has been replaced twice and each time with no success. This vehicle thankfully is garage kept with the exception of work. The vehicle has never been off-road and the roof is on securely and fastened correctly.

When driving my 2007 4-door jeep wrangler on the interstate 4 weeks ago i noticed that when i hit a hole in the road or a bump the entire vehicle shook, causing the steering wheel to shake back and forth causing me to almost skip lanes and almost hit a semi truck in the next lane. The next day i called the dealership that i purchased this vehicle from used about 5 months ago (10,000 miles ago).i have made 3 trips to the dealership in the past 4 weeks and the shaking has become worse.the last 2 days while driving to and from work, i literally thought that the right front tire was going to come off or that the frame was going to brake! i pulled off of the interstate many times on my 30 mile trip and didn't drive over 40mph. I asked the mechanic at the dealership to drive the jeep with me on the interstate today.he said that he has no idea what is wrong but it felt like the entire frame is violently shaking. I feel very unsafe driving this vehicle as i am unable to control it when this occurs. I should mention 2 more things...1. This only occurs when one side of the vehicle hits a bump, not when both tires hit at the same time, like hitting a pot hole with left tire. 2. Many owners of this exact make and model are having the same issue. I have been looking on-line and there are multiple site with hundreds ofpeople who, despite spending a lot of money replacing part after part continue to have this safety issue. I have received a recall notice about the lack of temperature control of the cooling system but chrysler has not addressed this problem and they should. Someone is going to die from this design flaw and it must be addressed soon.i don't know what to do. I have to travel the interstate to get to work.

Now my new vehiclewarranty is within 200 miles of expiring now and i have a broken car that isin no way safe to drive.i will be driving to the mountains to ski this weekend in a snow stormso it should be scary as this is my only car.a simple search for my model year jeep online and death wobble will return an unlimited amount of information.obviously i am not the only consumer with this complaint.can you please advise whom i should contact to address this matter?i don't want to die or kill anyone.the "death wobble" occurs when i encounter a bump in the road at speeds over ~40mph and must be slowed to a near stop to make it quit.i can't seem to get anyone at chrysler to help me and the dealers can't fix it, what do i do?

I experienced "death wobble" twice yesterday.the first happened in a curve with oncoming traffic. There was no obstruction in the road. The second was shortly after on a straight stretch. Again, no obstruction in the road. This was so severe my passenger had to help steady the wheel to keep me from crashing into oncoming traffic.there are no after market parts and no lift installed on the jeep.
I was driving to workon the freeway going around 60mph, hit a small bump and the jeep started to shake so violently my heart went out of my chest.i flipped on my hazards and made my way over to the slow lane, but the shaking stopped.when i arrived to work, i researched the "shaking" and found another name for it, "death wobble."i can't believe there hasn't been a recall on the parts that cause this, it hasn't caused any fatalities yet; but it will.

2007 jeep wrangler unlimited with approx. 15,000 miles.when driving between 40-50 mph and hit a small bump, front end begins a sustained violent shaking that requires the vehicle be nearly stopped before shaking goes away.has happened five times (highway on ramp, highway off ramp, straight driving on city street and on county road).initial dealer response was that they had not heard of this before and said it drove fine.two more incidents and a phone call to the dealer and they said that there is a huge problem with the four door jeep wrangler and that there is a national back order on the steering damper.i am on the list for these when they become available at the end of the month.
Takata recall....while driving about 68 mph on an interstate overpass today, my jeep went into the dreaded "death wobble". It was horrifying...i lost control of the vehicle and thought i would fall over the overpass. There was no warning, no bumps or pot holes. This is the scariest thing i've ever experienced on the road. It felt like 4 blow-outs simultaneously. I cannot believe there is no recall on such a dangerous issue.
The first occurrence happened in a construction area.i spoke with the service rep from the dealership, and they stated that the steering damper needed to be replaced, to the tune of $275 not including labor.i did not get the work done because something didn't seem right, based on the service reps "it isn't a big deal" statement.i had my tire balance checked, and during a 1400 mile drive, never had another occurrence.i asked if anyone else complained about "death wobble" (a term picked up when i explained the problem to a group of 4x4 enthusiasts), to which i received a negative response.it was at fire stone that was informed of tsb's on the steering.just recently, the vibration in the steering has become noticeable during low speeds and rougher roads.at approx. 60 mph, i experience "death wobble".the front end and steering shake violently until i can pull the vehicle off the roadway.this happens at 60 mph, usually accelerating up hill, around corners and occasionally on straightaway that have a lot of expansion joints.60 mph seems to be the magic number. Last week (approx jan 28th) i was traveling over the local expansion bridge.i felt slight vibration in the steering, backed off the accelerator and signaled to move onto the exit ramp to i-26.the death wobble kicked in, almost throwing me into two vehicles.i managed to slow the vehicle and avoid running off the roadway.
"death wobble"2007 jeep wrangler 4-door:unable to drive vehicle due to violent shaking starting at 50 mph regardless of road conditions, bumps or potholes.jeep serviced at 35,000: steering damper and left side ball joints replaced (under warranty).problem solved for the time being.at 60,000 (no longer under warranty) we have the same problem, violent shaking between 50-60 mph.looks and feels like the front wheels are falling off.it is incredibly unsafe.
I purchased my 2007 jk with 3,000 miles.from the very beginning, it has had the violent, shaking, uncontrollable problem referred to as the "death wobble."although this seems to be common, i hardly think this is acceptable.i have been through three different suspension systems, have rotated my tired religiously (every oil change), have replaced three steering stabilizers, and now i am completely at a loss of new ideas.i have changed bushings, bearings, tightened the track bar, and tried every different adjustment to think of.nothing has worked.when the death wobble occurs, i am completely out of control inside the vehicle and fear for the safety of my passengers, normally my wife and my five year old daughter.the dealership has nothing to offer, local suspension shops are at a loss, and obviously my experience pales in comparison.there has to be some way to repair this problem?
Death wobble.yes it's scary.first time on the freeway, then it was easy to duplicate after that at speeds about 40 mph when you hit a bump.i replaced the shocks, and checked torque on all front end components, same problem.i ordered a new track bar (pannard rod) which i found out had been upgraded, and welded reinforcements where the bar mounts on the axle and frame such that the bolts (also replaced) fit tighter.problem gone since, 25000 miles ago.all stock suspension and tire size.the denial from chrysler is unacceptable.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4.on several occasions, the vehicle would bounce.while driving 65 mph, the contact noticed that the vehicle was bouncing up and down and the front tires were not touching the road.the vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the strong damper failed.the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred two months later while driving 60 mph.the contact had to apply maximum pressure to the brakes and crashed into the median.the crash caused damage to the tie rod.there were no injuries.the vehicle was towed to the dealer, but they could not find any failures.the contact called the manufacturer and reported the issue that he was experiencing.an inspector was sent to inspect the vehicle and stated that he could not share his findings.the contact is currently waiting for a response from the manufacturer.the failure mileage was 20,900 and current mileage was 32,500.
Death wobble!!! death wobble!!! as i was driving down the interstate with heavy traffic, i hit a bump goin 65 mph and suddenly with out any warning the front end of my jeep started rapidly wobbling back and forth across the road, nearly causing multiple accidents. It startled me severely, i was able to turn on my hazard lights and started to slowly decelerate while trying to steer to the shoulder. It took until i got down to 25mph for it to stop shimmying. I stopped on the shoulder to inspect the front end off the highway, checked my tire pressure, the shocks, axle and all other parts to see what broke. Everything appeared to be normal and i could not find anything that caused the sever wobbling back and forth of the front end, so carried on, very cautiously. This happens quite often, sometimes going as low at 45mph, but only when something in the road knocks it off balance. I do not feel safe in my jeep at all. The jeep dealer tells me there is nothing wrong with the jeep's suspension and i have had several independent mechanics tell me they dont know what to replace inorder to correct the problem that the only thing they have luck with fixing the issue is too replace the entire front-end along with the axle. This is the type of issue that this agency was established to correct. Something has to be done before people are killed due to a major enginnering defect by jeep.
While driving my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara on the i35 north at approximately 70 mph, a slight bump caused a violent shaking of the tires and suspension system. The vehicle was nearly impossible to control, the steering wheel nearly shook out of my grasp. Braking compounded the issue. I was able to veer the vehicle to the shoulder on the road, where a lower speed allowed the vehicle to recover. The same thing occurred nearly 1 hour later as i returned home. This situation is not isolated to me or my vehicle, it has been coined as the "jeep death wobble" by hundreds of people online.
Whenever my 2007 jeep his a bump at speeds over 45mph, it begins the "death wobble". It shakes as if ready to fall apart. It occurs mostly on the highway, where i need to hold on tight and slow as quickly as possible to a near stop. This is extremely dangerous! i will not let my three teenagers drive the car.apparently this is happening to all 2007 wranglers. This needs to be recalled!

Several times while driving the vehicle will violently shake.sporadic at first but now more often. Shakes so hard that i'm forced to immediately brake. Several times while on the freeway.tire replaced -alignment- several mechanics i tried could not identify the problem.when this problem occurs, it is very frightening. (google death wobble).
Death wobble-between 45-60 mpg. Shakes so violently that steering is impossible, must come to a stop to gain control. Dealership said they cant find anything wrong.
Jeep 07 wrangler rubicon unlimited four door.front track bar bracket failure.the metal is very thin and very poorly welded, on the outside only.this leads to weakness and failure, particularly under high stress driving maneuvers such as heavy braking on a downhill corner, driving on snow or ice, hitting potholes or speed bumps.once separated, the front axle then follows whatever groove exerts the most force, creating a dangerous and unacceptable loss of control over the vehicle.
I was driving a 2007 jeep wrangler and the low tire pressure light came on. I filled the tires to the specified amount and drove down the road. The jeep all of a sudden violently shook back and fourth to the point i could barley hold on to the steering wheel. I was able to stop the vehicle, visually check the wheels and drive away and problem went away. I believe what i experienced was the "death wobble." now recently my father was driving the same jeep and it happened to him 3 times on a road trip without the tire pressures being changed. He took it to the dealership and they replace the steering stabilizer. I believe this is just a fix to the damage that was caused by the jeeps malfunctions and they did not fix anything to prevent the wobble from happening again.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4. While driving at 50 mph, the mounting plate fractured and caused the vehicle to wobble uncontrollably. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed and repaired. The contact was informed that the front differential and the front suspension needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.
Severe shaking in front end, feels like my tires are falling off, when i am on highway! hard to hold steering wheel in place, i have to pull over and stop in order to get the jeep under control. I believe this is called death wobble. I am so surprised after all the complaints about this issue there has been no forced recall! i am surprised we didn't crash and cause a pile up on highway!
Are jeep started shaking very badly. We have looked on the internet and seen that many jeep owners have had this problem , they are calling it the death wobble. Why is jeep not doing anything about this?
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler 4 door that i purchased new.approximately one year ago i noticed that around 50mph the vehicle would shake and you almost had to come to a complete stop to get the shake to stop.the shake is not always violent, though it is progressively becoming more violent every time. Once the shaking was so violent that i almost lost control of the vehicle and almost went into the ditch.yesterday it was so violent that i almost lost control of the vehicle and was very close to running into a dump truck.a friend happened to be driving behind me and said it looked as if the entire jeep was going to shake apart and the wheels looked like they were going to fall off.i have had the jeep looked at and inspected by a mechanic and nothing is wrong with it.as i research this online it seems many jeep owners are experiencing this problem and have labeled it the "death wobble".chrysler does not seem to be responding to the problem though they appear to be aware according to a local dealership.at this point i am scared to drive my own vehicle and will not let my wife drive it nor do i want to put my child in it.i am lodging this complaint in hopes that this will get investigated and hopefully chrysler will understand that this is an extremely dangerous problem that numerous jeep owners are experiencing.i don't know what needs to be done to fix it.i do believe there needs to be a recall since so many people are having problems before it really causes someone to be injured or die because they loose control of their vehicle.i was really alarmed to see that it is so common people have named it "death wobble".
I own a 2007 jeep wrangler and i have now gone thru 4 sets of ball joints and the jeep currently has less than 45k miles.this is a major safety issue that i know many other jeep owners are having the same issue.
I am writing to you because i do not know where else to go with this.something needs to be done by chrysler and something fast before something serious happens to someone.i have a 2007 jeep wrangler 4 door sahara and i am experiencing with it what is called the "death wobble", if you were to search about this on the internet, you will see i am not the only one that this is happening to.i have called the dealership where i got the jeep and automatically they tell me that i need to have my stabilizer bar replaced and that it would cost me $250.i will tell you by all the complaints that i have seen on the internet thatwill not fix the problem.i do not have the money to sink into this jeep for something that they say is going to fix it and it does not.what i experience when i hit a bump going about 50 is a violent shaking in the front end of my jeep to the point that i have to slow down to almost 20 mph to get it under control.i have also experienced it coming down a hill and when i put the brake on and the violent shaking happens again, but when i put the brake on to slow down it does it worse.i am very scared to drive my jeep and i am afraid for my family and our lives in this jeep, when i use to love it.if this is a steering stabilizer problem then i think that chrysler needs to take responsibility for this.i am sure if you ran a story about this, tons of people will come forward with the same thing.my mother in law has a 2009 jeep wrangler 4 door and the same thing is happening to hers.she has had new tires put on it, balanced, and an alignment.she has had it to the dealer twice and they tell her nothing is wrong with the jeep.my friend also has 2007 jeep wrangler 4 door and hers does it too.i am so tired of having a vehicle that i pay good money for and i am afraid to drive it.search for "death wobble jeep" and you will see.
While traveling on interstate at posted speeds every rough patch of roadway or going over a bridge (bump entering or exiting bridge) the steering wheel would shake violently. I would let off gas, gently apply brake and pull onto shoulder to get control back of vehicle. Sometimes i would have to come to a complete stop before the shaking would stop other times between 5 to 20 mphs the shaking would stop. This was a 300 mile trip home, ireduced speed to see if this would decrease the effects, it seem to help where roads were smoother but happened nearly just the same. The vehicle is equipped with electronic stability control which never activated. It has happened numerous time since dec 17 2011.
In november 2008, while driving approximately 60 mph, vehicle began to shake violently and uncontrollably after hitting a small bump in the road.vehicle had to be pulled off the road and stopped to abate the vibration and regain control.took to dealer and dealer replaced the steering stabilizer shock.then, in february 2008, the problem recurred.dealer recommended the installation of a heavy duty stabilizer shock.upon picking up the vehicle from the dealer, the problem was significantly worse.vehicle could not be driven on the highway without experiencing the "death wobble," as it is commonly referred to.vehicle has been back to the dealer 4 more times for "retorquing of the suspension" and various other potential fixes.nothing has fixed or even mitigated the problem.vehicle's condition continues to worsen and is now virtually undriveable.even though under warranty, the dealership/chrysler will do nothing else.through research on this internet site and several jeep sites, i have learned that this is a common and dangerous problem.yet chrysler seems unwilling to openly consider a possible defect or even investigate my problem further.i called jeep/chrysler three times on 3/10/09 and was mysteriously disconnected during each call.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle vibrated. No warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer for diagnosis. The dealer stated that the front suspension and tie rods needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacture had not been notified. The failure mileages was 50,000 and the current mileages was 110,000.
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.
2007 wrangler unlimitedsahara with 24,000 miles when issue began. Issue is called death wobble. It is so true to it's name. It feels like one tire has come completely off the vehicle and you are required to act immediately to ensure you can get off the road safelyaway from others before you cause an accident. It is so severe you could cause an accident just bypeople swerving to get as far away from you as possible. My jeep is going in for the 5th time on this issue. I have spent 5 months trying to get this resolved. The dealership has done all they can do. They have tried everything and still now the wobble occurs up to 7 times in a mere 30 min drive on the highway. I have called chrysler many times and spent hours on the phone. No one helps cares or even speaks decent english. They just continue to take messages and read scripting.i now am left with a $30,000 jeep that is not safe for me and my 2 kids. I can't trade it or sell it due to this safety issue. I have no idea where to turn.
As a citizen of the united states of america with constitutional rights and consumer rights, this is regarding the "old/new chrysler jeep death wobble"corruption by all parties involved..affecting 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 chrysler jeeps.after much research this chrysler jeep design/manufacture defect has existed for many, many years but the fact of the matter is the defect was not redesigned or designed outas far as chrysler and nhtsa are concerned, this dangerous and life threatening defect does not exist and will never cause death!, only crashes and accidents!we as consumers are liable for any negative outcome due to "the jeep death wobble"; and when the consumer gets in a crash, accident, injures someone, kills someone due to this defect, unless we can prove it was "the jeep death wobble" that chrysler and nhtsa say is not a safety issue or of concern (even though thousands upon thousands of jeep consumers beg to differ)we are liable for chrysler's safety defect that causes crashes and accidents that may lead to death to the consumer and those drivers sharing the road.drivers sharing the road also have a right to have jeep consumers driving safe vehicles.chrysler states "chrysler jeeps are built differently" chrysler consumers state what is different than safe??!!!nhtsa, an agency of the executive branch of the united states government and part of the department of transportation, describes its mission as save lives, prevent injuries, reduce vehicle related crashes.nhtsa is supposed to be promoting safety to all vehicles on the road not contributing to unsafe jeeps or any dangerous vehicles on the road!nhtsa is also denying the truth and leaving us the jeep consumers liable when they have thousands upon thousands of reports on the jeep death wobble (also known as the ?steering shimmy?) and all the stories are the same.
While driving my 2007 wrangler, i hit a small bump on the freeway and the jeep started shaking violently to the point i could barely hold onto the wheel. I was actually on my way to the dealer to have a different recall serviced, so the service department looked at it. I was told that this is a common problem, and that all it would take is about $300 to replace the steering damper because the " factory ones always leak."
Hello, i bought a new 2007 jeep wrangler and have been having what theindustry calls the "death wobble" since the vehicle was new and it is now infor the 4th repair attempt and dealership is telling me that there isnothing they can do to fix it and that they can't replicate the problem this time, although they have now repaired it 3 times now over the last 2 years and were able to replicate the problem each of the other times. Now my new vehiclewarranty is within 200 miles of expiring now and i have a broken car that isin no way safe to drive.i will be driving to the mountains to ski this weekend in a snow stormso it should be scary as this is my only car.a simple search for my model year jeep online and death wobble will return an unlimited amount of information.obviously i am not the only consumer with this complaint.can you please advise whom i should contact to address this matter?i don't want to die or kill anyone.the "death wobble" occurs when i encounter a bump in the road at speeds over ~40mph and must be slowed to a near stop to make it quit.i can't seem to get anyone at chrysler to help me and the dealers can't fix it, what do i do?
After crossing a railroad track, the car experienced a violent shaking in the front suspension which did not stop until the car came to a stop
I was driving at a steady speed of approximately 35, the steering wheel began to vibrate, and within seconds the steering was shaking so badly that i had to bring the car to a complete stop.after resuming my speed, the car was no longer shaking.since that time, i experience a slight to moderate shake at all speeds, and experience the "death wobble" almost daily at various speeds.i have followed all recommendations as far as tire rotation is concerned, as well as alignment when tires were purchased.i have since found the recent chrysler tsb regarding the death wobble, and am currently having the vehicles suspension and wheels checked.i want it on record that this vehicle is experiencing this problem daily.
When driving my 2007 4-door jeep wrangler on the interstate 4 weeks ago i noticed that when i hit a hole in the road or a bump the entire vehicle shook, causing the steering wheel to shake back and forth causing me to almost skip lanes and almost hit a semi truck in the next lane. The next day i called the dealership that i purchased this vehicle from used about 5 months ago (10,000 miles ago).i have made 3 trips to the dealership in the past 4 weeks and the shaking has become worse.the last 2 days while driving to and from work, i literally thought that the right front tire was going to come off or that the frame was going to brake! i pulled off of the interstate many times on my 30 mile trip and didn't drive over 40mph. I asked the mechanic at the dealership to drive the jeep with me on the interstate today.he said that he has no idea what is wrong but it felt like the entire frame is violently shaking. I feel very unsafe driving this vehicle as i am unable to control it when this occurs. I should mention 2 more things...1. This only occurs when one side of the vehicle hits a bump, not when both tires hit at the same time, like hitting a pot hole with left tire. 2. Many owners of this exact make and model are having the same issue. I have been looking on-line and there are multiple site with hundreds ofpeople who, despite spending a lot of money replacing part after part continue to have this safety issue. I have received a recall notice about the lack of temperature control of the cooling system but chrysler has not addressed this problem and they should. Someone is going to die from this design flaw and it must be addressed soon.i don't know what to do. I have to travel the interstate to get to work.
At approximately 50mph if i hit a minor bump in the road my jeep begins to shake violently and control is lost to the vehicle to the point that you must come to a complete stop before regaining control. This is called "death wobble" by online communities and service repairmen.the incident almost caused a collision as i was unable to keep the car in my lane and ran another car into a ditch. Luckily no one was hurt or property damaged.
As i was driving on the highway, reaching speeds of approximately 60mph, i hit a rough patch in the road and the jeep begin to shake back and forth very forcefully, pulling to the right. Once i let off the gas and the jeep slowed down to approx. 40mph, it finally stopped. Every time i hit a rough patch it will shake violently. My husband and i have named this "the death wobble".
At certain speeds, my front end shimmies on the road.i took the jeep into a dealership in early april to address the vibration and they changed out the ball joints.they said they could find no evidence of the vibration.i picked the jeep up and it was still there.i scheduled a follow up appointment with them but, on the 9th of april, i was driving on i 495 in washington dc and the vehicle began shaking so bad that i had to pull over and get off the road.i thought i was going to be flung into a guardrail or another vehicle, it was shaking so bad.i called jeep and they opined that i had screwed something up with an aftermarket install for a suspension.however, my jeep is completely stock.i have not altered anything on it and certainly hadn't added a suspension.i have checked around and apparently, this problem is pretty rampant.the violence of the shaking is extreme and i am surprised somebody hasn't lost control and died over this already.i am a large man and it took all my strength to get the thing under control and into a safe area where i could decrease speed.i sincerely hope you will look into this matter before someone gets hurt.,thank you,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The past couple years i've noticed my jeep having a wobble while crossing 60mph, below 57 it stopped above 63 it stopped. I had new tires and balance completed. The wobble was still present. While driving down a 4-5% grade on state route 285 (4 lane divided highway most of the way) i touched the brakes and the front end started to violently wobble.. Enough to rip the steering wheel from my hands. This almost put me into oncoming traffic. The wobble finally stopped at 25mph. The tires chirped in tune to the vibration. I have to assume from loss of contact with the road. The vehicle jerked side to side during this wobbling. Once stopped i checked under the front end and only noted that my stabilizer was now leaking fluid and was bent. This happened around july 18th with my 8 year old in the vehicle.once i was able to get the vehicle back to town i took off the old track bar, did this due to the overwhelming number of posts on the internet. I took off the original bar and noted the back side of the upper and lower brackets "hollowed out" or oblonged. I removed the track bar and placed the bolts back into the mounts and wiggled them to assess if the mounts were out of round. I noted the bottom back mounting hole had approx. 1/4 inch of movement and the top back mounting hole had 1/8 inch of movement.i am currently seeing a jeep certified mechanic to have stainless steel washers added to the brackets to eliminate the source of the shaking. The mechanic stated this is a known issue that the brackets were made thinner then previous years. He also stated the "washer" fix is also a known solution to this issue.however i noted there isn't a smooth pivot surface on the bolts they are threaded and ate into the steel insert in the track bar bushing. I expected to find a bolt with a smooth surface for the bushing to ride on and threaded end for the nut.
Experienced the infamous 'death wobble'. My wife called scared to death and wasn't sure she could make it home because front end had started shaking violently. I thought she may have dropped a wheel weight. Took it to the mechanic, spent over $450 for new stabilizer and steering shock, wheel rotation, and balance, and problem was not solved. Took it back to the mechanic, he tried again, and did not charge me. He researched the problem on the internet and discovered all the complaints there. No one has a fix for this. Chrysler says all solid front axle vehicles do this. Bull! why would anyone want a solid front axle vehicle if they all do this? it's scary. You have to immediately brake to stop the shake and hope no one is right behind you. I can't believe there hasn't been a recall or a solution forwarded for the problem. There are tons of complaints all over the internet. Always wanted a jeep but i'm afraid to drive the thing at highway speeds. Something's got to be done. Someone is going to get hurt eventually. I can't believe no one has been rear-ended or something hasn't shaken loose with all that violent vibration.
My 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited x 4x4, which is all stock and was purchased new, has developed the appropriately named "death wobble" which consists of violent shaking of the front end and steering wheel when hitting even a minor bump or depression in the road at speeds in excess of 45 mph.the shaking is so severe that one believes you feel as though you are about to die due to loss of control of the vehicle.the only way to stop the shaking is to come to an abrupt stop.inattentive drivers may not be aware of what is happening and this may cause an accident as the jeep driver is forced to brake.my warranty has expired and when i contacted the jeep dealership, they acted as though they had never heard of this.i took it to an independent mechanic who stated this was a rather common occurrence and that it would cost about $1700 to fix with replacing u-joints, and adding a stabilizer bar.from on-line testimonials, i am learning that this is simply a bandaid fix and that the ball joints and steering dampener need to be replaced for a true fix.i cannot believe that with as many problems as have been reported that chrysler-jeep has not issued a recall.i have parked my jeep for now while deciding what to do.my conscious will not allow me to trade it or sell it with the defect that i am aware of.i guess chrysler-jeep does not share my values.why hasn't there been any litigation over this issue?where are all the lawyers when you need them??
I was on highway and i got what i now find out is common in my car the death wobble. I had to come to a complete stop on the highway to make it stop. Very scary and deadly.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited - front end shakes violently at or above 55 mph after hitting small bump in road.steering wheel shakes back and forth violently, feels like wheels are goign to fall off or car will flip over - complete loss of control unless you slow down to 35mph - which is not easy to do on the highway in traffic.this occurs almost daily.to date we have replaced the track bar, replaced the tires, had the vehicle re-alligned and tires balanced.next step is to replace the steering stabilizer.so far no permanent fixes.
Vehicle goes into a very bad shaking and wobble of the front suspension, typically at highway speeds and after passing over a bump in the road, frequently even a very small bump.the only way to stop the rattle/wobble after it begins, is to come to a complete stop.i have had several repair shops examine it, alignment checked, tires replaced, suspension parts replaced.
The 2007 four door jeep wrangler 4x4experienced violent shuddering in the front end when travelling over bumps at speeds over 30 mph.the shudderingwa sso violent that the vehicle got pulled to the side, forcing me to slam on the brakes to avoid a complete loss of control.the dealer checked the vehicle, and noted no problems, however, this issue persisted.iwasconvinced therewas some kind of engineering flaw.
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.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4. While driving 50 mph on a mountain road, the steering wheel and the vehicle began to shake violently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the steering damper, both front and rear shocks and both front tires needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 54,000.
Jeep death wobble.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited, 44,000 miles, all the ball joint went bad. Jeep began to shake at higher speeds and i almost lost control of vehicle.
Defect is called "death wobble" in various jeep wrangler years and models. Mine is a 2007wrangler x unlimited. I was told by dealer the problem was mud impactionaround and inside of wheels.removing all mud did not fix problem.worsened problem after cleaning. Replaced front stabilizer bar3 weeks ago.problem continues... Which is:while driving on a rough road or hitting a bump or even modestly shallow pothole, front end and steering begins shaking, wobbling, quaking to point of vehicle being completely out of control and is almostif not completelyimpossible to control which is managed by braking to complete halt. Have narrowly averted collisions and complete vehicle control several times in the last 3 months. Really afraid to drive jeep, nor can i ethically or effectively sell vehicle without notifying "buyer" or this serious, bodily and life threatening defect.vehicle is worthless because of this danger.
I am the owner of a 2007 jeep wrangler and have had a major failure of the steering/suspension of the jeep. In researching this i find the complaint is a rather common failure. Do a google of "jeep death wobble" and scan selected items of 19000 hits for jeeps made from the 1990's to present.the jeep has 9500 miles.the incidence occurred at about a speed of 40-55 miles per hour after riding over frost waves in the road. The jeep went into a violent vibration mode where steering was very difficult and the jeep was out of control.the jeep when slowed to about 30 the vibration disappeared and it was slowly driven to a jeep dealer (owl chrysler jeep) honesdale, pa.eleven days later the jeep was returned perhaps repaired but some things don't seem right.i have met another person with the same / similar problem and on the internet find many complaints of what is referred to as a death wobble. Believe me a good description.had this occurred in winter weather, rain or on a curve i would perhaps be a statistic as there for a few seconds no control over the direction or steering of the vehicle.i believe that chrysler knows of this problem for what appears to be years and is still manufacturing vehicles with a design/material flaw.the repair number from owl is: r.o. Number 24079the parts replaced are: front lower control arms and bushings.old parts retained by dealer as perhaps warranty repair.the vehicle has never been driven off road and is basically babied.owl can be contacted at:owl chrysler jeep, inc250 grandview avenuehonesdale, pa 18431570-253-2640
When traveling at approximately 60 mph my jeep began to shake violently throwing me to the side of the road and almost causing me to be hit by nearby cars andtractor trailer. I had to be towed off the highway. I was told by the dealer to come and pick it up the following day. They said that they could find anything wrong with it and to take it home. Within 1 wk of having the vehicle back the shaking occurred again, this time luckily at a slow rate of speed. After slamming on the brakes the shaking stopped. I took it back to the dealership, this time they " "re-torqued" the front end to chrysler specs". I drove it home and it happened again within days. This time the shop forman said that he was not going to touch the jeep but would be making a call to chrysler. We took it on a test drive to try and replicate the problem. It did not happen while he was driving the vehicle. I left it with him, he called chrysler and told me to come and pick it up.i came and picked up the jeep without anything being done to it. A couple of days later the dealership called and said that they had someone from chrysler coming in to look at the jeep. I brought it back again (4th time), i was told that the person from chrysler replaced the steering. I looked under the vehicle and there appears to be a new part. I have not had the problem again to the extent that it happened the first few times but if i hit even the smallest of bumps the front end "bounces" (compared to shaking violently) until i brake. I am totally petrified to drive this vehicle and i will under no circumstances let my children ride in it. I will not take it on the highway because i am afraid of what will happen at a rate of speed faster than 30mph.
At hwy speeds when a bump is hit the front end and entire vehicle shakes violently like the front tires are going to fall off.this occurs just about every time a bump is hit.onlyway to stop it is to slow to 15 to 20 mph creating a traffic hazard. Ball joints, steering damper, front end parts, new tires to no avail.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4dr 4x4. While driving approximately 55 mph over a bump, the vehicle began to shake uncontrollably. The contact was able to drive onto the emergency lane,and was unable to detect a problem. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated the front lower control arm, tie rod ends, steering damper and ball joints would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified and stated they would be responsible for the cost of the parts which does not include labor. The contact scheduled an appointment for the vehicle to be repaired. The failure mileage was 29,221. Updated 07/26/11updated 3/05/2012 *ln
My 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited shakes violently and becomes uncontrollable if it hits a small bump in the road. This violent shaking is commonly known as "death wobble" and there are countless documented instances of this in testimonial and video form on the internet. This violent shaking has occurred 6 times, all at speeds between 45-65 mph. The jeep dealership says that chrysler knows of this problem and will not fix it. This is an extremely dangerous defect with this vehicle. The jeep is out of control until it comes to a stop.
Severe wobble and oscillation in the steering and front suspension system. A small bump in the road, while driving anywhere between 35-70 mph can initiate a severe, violent shaking, and a complete loss of steering control. After replicating the problem on a private road, observers outside the vehicle noted that the front tires would completely leave the ground on each oscillation. Many other jeep wrangler owners report similar incidents.
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 filesmy accelerator stuck , i was fortunate some one else was driving so i could see his feet and the floor matsnothing was stuckwhen 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 recalllike they did to toyotato date my jeep has only 22.000 miles on the odometer .good luck all
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.
I have a stock 2007 wrangler unlimited x,6spd. It is one year old with 24,000kms. At approx. 8,000 kms it started to have a severe wobble in the front end after hitting small bumps at approx. 70 kms or more. The shake is very harsh and hard to control, it is a serious safety issue, the dealership had no answers until recently they tell me that its the tires and i need to get new ones at my own expense. The goodyear rep says that there is no defect with the tires but that chrysler has simply put an insufficient tire on the vehicle...why is this my problem...my vehicle is not safe!!!
2007 wrangler 4- door unlimited. Popping felt through both steering column and gas/brake pedals when going over small bumps.no violent shaking like described in others...just a very uncomfortable popping.the popping has become increasingly more noticeable over a period of about 3,000 miles.the popping is now audible.it has been at jeep 3 times so far, with the only solution being to replace the tie rods to no avail.
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.
Violent front end shimmy known as "death wobble".occurs at speeds of 40-50 mph.vehicle shakes violently and is uncontrollable.initially, tapping the brakes and slowing slightly would stop the shaking, but problem has progressed to the point that the vehicle needs to come to almost a complete stop to stop the shaking.this is a safety issue as the shaking poses an accident risk by virtue of losing control of the vehicle and/or a rear end collision, as there is nothing else to do but bring the vehicle to a sudden stop in order to regain control.this issue is well documented online and is the subject of technical service bulletin 19-003-06 (august of 2006).it should be noted, however, that this tsb does not fix the problem, it only masks the problem by adding a steering stabilizer.
1.during normal driving conditions at speeds above 50mph the front suspension will sometimes go into a violent oscillation.the steering wheel, shimmies so violently that it cannot be controlled.the entire vehicle feels like it is coming apart.not a simple wheel balance shimmy, this is a dangerous violent oscillation.2.it gets progressively worse as time goes on.3.it was taken back to the dealership, and they replaced the steering stabilizer which made the problem better, but it came back slightly, and progressively got worse, and worse.there is some underlying problem that the steering stabilizer is masking.
During normal operation of the vehicle at speeds above 40 mph, the vehicle shakes uncontrollably after hitting a bump in the road. The bump does not have to be large, and can be as small as a bad joint in concrete pavement. The only way to stop the shaking is to slow down the vehicle to a near stop. This occurred on an interstate highway with no shoulder, causing a near-collision.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 mph over an uneven road surface, the front end of the vehicle began to shake violently. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road where the engine was turned off. Upon restarting, the contact resumed cautiously with the hazard lights activated. The vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 123,000.
Driving down the freeway, went across a bridge. The jeep started the "death wobble". As soon as it went over the 'bump' on the bridge, the whole jeep started to violently shake, as if the whole thing was falling apart. I had to pull over on the freeway, come to a complete stop. Its under warranty, took it to dealer. They suggested an "after market"steering stabilizer, which i paid for with my own money. The 'death wobble' continues. Dealership telling me there's nothing wrong. Im pursing the matter.
Drive a 2007 4-door wrangler. Within 6 months of purchase, hit a small bump going around 50 mph on highway. Car steering vibrated uncontrollably moving about 2-inches side to side. No shoulder available (caused other cars to swerve away from me)but after breaking, it eventually stopped. Asked dealer service workers (while it was being looked at for second recall for computer/breaks) why this was happening, they claimed "that is what jeeps do". Happened 4 more times until a witness from the road pulled me over to tell me "he thought my right front wheel was going to come off." jeep claimed to have never heard of it before. (there are website about "death wobble" everywhere).brought to dealer, fixed tie rod. Happened again, said it might be a bad tire. Will be at my expense. Called tire manufacturer, to start a file.
I have noticed an increase in give / leeway in the steering column at approx 15,000 miles.the problem increased to the point where there is a popping felt through the steering wheel as well as both the accelerator and brake pedals when light pressure is placed on the front wheels while turning (turning at low speeds through traffic circles, going over uneven pavement while turning, small bumps in the road, etc).the feedback felt continues to get worse until the point it feels unsafe to operate the vehicle.i have had the vehicle back into the only 2 jeep dealerships within a 90 mile radius of my place of residence more than 3 times.at first the front end sway bar was replaced, to no avail.the 2nd time the steering column shaft was replaced, with only a short term alleviation of the problem.at first when the shaft was replaced, the steering felt as new (tight, with good control, and no feedback). After less than another 5,000 miles on the new shaft, the problem has returned and continues to get worse (currently at 23,000 miles).after speaking with the service manager at a local jeep dealership, he has indicated there is no problem aware within jeep to his knowledge, but has noted that he has had a few vehicles in his shop with the same problems.
At highway speeds when the jeep goes over a few bumps in the road it will go it to major shakes that don't stop until you pull off the road and come to a complete stop.
A violent wobble occurs at 60-65 after hitting a bump in road.i have taken it to the dealer three times. Chrysler did not have an answer as to why it happens.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4.on three separate occasions, while driving between 40-65 mph, the vehicle would shake or vibrate uncontrollably after driving over a pothole or bump.the vehicle was taken to a dealer three times, but they could never duplicate the failure.the current mileage was 107,000 and failure mileage was 80,000.updated 09/10/08. *ljthe second time the incident happened, the dealer replaced a faulty damper. Updated 09/16/08.
I own a 2007 jeep wrangler x 4 dr. 4x4while driving down the road it will start violently shaking to the point you cant control the steering it occurs when the right front tire hits a small bump in the road the only way to correct this is to come to a complete stop then start again i drive the interstate to work i have had the jeep into the dealer and they replaced a part on the steering did not help i have taken it to another dealership they said they couldn't find anything wrong something needs to be done before some body gets killed then it will be too late.
The sway bar will not reconnect on my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited jk rubicon making it unsafe to drive at freeway speed.
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4.while driving 15 mph, the driver side front axle failed.the daimler chrysler dealer stated that the failure was due to owner negligence.the better business bureau agreed with the dealer.the current mileage was 3,212 and failure mileage was 1,200.
2007 jeep wrangler:rear track bar bracket welds broke, creating a dangerous handling and safety issue.further research on the internet revealed that this is a known issue, common for both modified and stock vehicles, but more so on vehicles which have had a lift kit installed.while the push back may be that it's rare on stock vehicles, jeeps are the most commonly and extensively modified vehicles on the road, and jeep cannot make the claim that they are unaware of this fact based on millions of modified jeeps and chrysler's involvement selling modifications as well as in off road activities for jeeps.additionally, according to my research, chrysler modified it's method of welding the brackets in mid-08.

2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4dr 4x4. At speeds over 50 mph, the front tires begin to shake and wobble violently. The shaking only stopped after i came to a complete stop. This happened after i hit a bumpy road. My jeep has been a street vehicle and really not going on the highway many times. I only have under 9,000 miles. Now that i live in california, and i have to drive in highways, i feel very uncomfortable driving speeds over 50 miles per hour.
2007 jeep wrangler 4x4 safari with esp (electronic stability program). Esp intermittently turns on by itself and can't be turned off. It will eventually turn itself off. Dealer tells me it's caused by a defective clock spring in the steering column, which also controls the steering wheel air bag, cruise control and the horn! i feel this is a safety concern, if any of these devices quit working, because of a defective clock spring!!!!
Takata recall....while driving about 68 mph on an interstate overpass today, my jeep went into the dreaded "death wobble". It was horrifying...i lost control of the vehicle and thought i would fall over the overpass. There was no warning, no bumps or pot holes. This is the scariest thing i've ever experienced on the road. It felt like 4 blow-outs simultaneously. I cannot believe there is no recall on such a dangerous issue.

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 missingbolts 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.
Airbags- on jan 06, 2016 i was involved in an auto accident in my 07 jeep jk the impact was at 35 miles per hour and conditions wet (rain). A vehicle failed to yield and we impacted, however, our airbags did not deploy and the other vehicles airbags did. The damage was moderate and chevy tahoe received more severe damage. I filed a complaint with chrysler and they are inspecting the vehicle. I am very concerned, my wife and daughter were very sore after this accident and all wore their seat belts, wife is afraid to drive her jeep now and says it is not safe. Cair #28562532.
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.
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.
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 filesmy accelerator stuck , i was fortunate some one else was driving so i could see his feet and the floor matsnothing was stuckwhen 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 recalllike they did to toyotato date my jeep has only 22.000 miles on the odometer .good luck all
The paint on the door hinges on my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara began showing signs of rust.presented vehicle to local dealer, and chrysler agreed to repaint the hinges under warranty.within one week, paint on hinges began bubbling.chrysler again agreed to repaint hinges under warranty.in talking with body shop, the issue is that the hinges are an alluminum alloy, and, with the steel hinge pin and the steel door, galvanic corrosion has occurred, and will continue to occur.sounds to be a fundamental design flaw (fundamental metallurgy).hinges have been repainted a second time, with indications that the paint is beginning to bubble.body shop has advised that the problem will continue until hinges are replaced with a similar metal or stainless steel.advised by body shop that they have done the same repair on approximately 6 other jeep wranglers with the same issue.after a sort internet search, it appears as though this is a common issue that chrysler has not addressed appropriately.
(1) customer purchased new 2007 jeep wrangler 4 door (2) customer has taken in for service more than 4 times for major leak in the roof and problem still not repaired.

While driving the car the oil light came on but went off. I was on a narrow road and was about to pull off then lights started to flash and the clutch would not work i stopped and turned the car off but it would not stop. Then i tried to get out and the doors all locked on me.i got out and noticed what i first thought was a boiling radiator but when i went to lift the bonnet the car caught fire. Itwas gone in a matter of minutes. Jeep australia denied any cars had caught fire here and would not allow us to have forensics investigate. At 35,000 the clutch also had to be replaced which jeep also said was because i did not know how to drive a manual i had been driving for 17 years. I know there have been other cars here in australia with the sameproblems i have had
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.

April 2007.sitting at stop light, normal idle at 600 rpms, without warning, engine just shut off.had to neutral and restart engine.took to dealer and they applied pcm flash updates per service bulletin) june 2007.crawling traffic speed of 10-15 mph and all lights came on dash and engine died.engine did not misfireand started to loose acceleratingand power steering and brakes.had to put in neutral to restart engine.pending appointment with dealer at this time.
The throttle control light came on at 40 mph and then started flashing and i had no throttle and had to drive home on idle. This was a used car on the way home from purchase. The jeep dealer had it for three days and says the garage computer corrected the problem, but it still happens about one a month, i have to pull over, shut the key off and restart for it to work.

2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4dr 4x4. At speeds over 50 mph, the front tires begin to shake and wobble violently. The shaking only stopped after i came to a complete stop.

Now that i live in california, and i have to drive in highways, i feel very uncomfortable driving speeds over 50 miles per hour.
While driving at roughly 70 mph on highway throttle felt a little weird then the rpms dropped to zero as the electronic throttle control light on the dash came on. Immediately headed for the shoulder as i lost power steering and power braking although the electronic steering/braking system was alerted during my swerve towards the shoulder. The vehicle was very unresponsive. Upon reaching the shoulder the vehicle stalled. Turned off the vehicle, and then restarted it and cautiously returned home. Consulted the manual and it appeared that such events were expected and considered normalif the electronic throttle control light did not returned upon restarting the vehicle.the vehicle has shown signs of repeating this trouble and during those times i have let off the throttle, down shifted and then shifted up again in hopes that whatever glitch was occurring would be reset.conditions: late afternoon, 80*f, driving for about 45 minutes manual transmission , stereo was on.
While driving 55 mph my 2007 jeep rubicon ul quickly slowed to about 30 mph.i was still pressing the gas pedal with no response.the vehicle felt like the esp was on, and swerved a little.the red lightning bolt light came on the dash and flashed.this happened once before, and me dealer looked at me jeep and said there was no problem.this is certainly a problem for me.i had a fully loaded log truck behind me when the jeep slowed, and was lucky that he was able to avoid crushing me.i pulled off the road, shut down the ignition and restarted.the light went off and the jeep ran normally.
The 2007 jeep wrangler 4 door has seemed to have several complaints regarding violent shaking. This has happened to me several times where the vehicle shakes so violently it feels like you are having a tire blown out. It almost throws you off the road. I was almost in an accident on the highway. I am nervous and do not think this vehicle is safe.

Cruise control went out about a year ago. Recently the airbag light comes on intermittently with a warning tone. Appears to be a faulty clockspring.
While driving the vehicle stalled while coming to a stop.as itidled to ~600 rpms the engine died.the car was restarted, and the vehical stalled again at the next intersection.the only light that was lit was the throttle control warning light.preceeding this occurrence, on 6 separate occasions, the throttle control warning light would come on while driving.the only direction in the manualwas to turn the vehicle off and then on again.i have seen several complaints about this stall bug associated with the 2007 jeep wrangler jk.icould only hope that this didnot occur again, and am fortunate it occurred while i was at low speeds.
Since the day i drove the2007 4-door jeep wrangler sahara off the dealer's lotthe electronic throttle controllight kept coming on. I hadto pull over every time the light cameon and restart the car. I normally could not drive more than 5 miles until i have to pull over to restart the car. After reading about all of the stallingproblems people were having i wa sconcerned about my safety and the safety of those riding with me. The stallingseemed to have something to do with the electronic throttle control system. I tookvehicleto the dealer once and they did a software upgrade, but could not find any other problems. The light continued to come on. The dealership knew of no problems but after doing a tiny bit of research on the net, i have found that a lot of peoplewerehaving this problem.
While driving on the highway at 70 mph (cruise control enabled) the car started surging as if someone were pumping the gas pedal.it did this for approximately 10 seconds then the engine died.i was in traffic and it took a few seconds to figure out what had happened.i was lucky to have a manual transmission because the second i pressed on the clutch i lost all power steering and power brake function.i was in the middle of traffic and cars started passing me on either side.this could have easily led to an accident.i will be taking it in to the dealer asap.
I was on the freeway with my cruise control on when my vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly slowed down.i moved my foot to the accelerator and found that the vehicle had substantially less power than normal. When the vehicle slowed, the electronic throttle warning light began to flash and the stability control light came on.after pulling off the road and cycling the ignition, the vehicle returned to normal.i brought it to the dealer and they could find nothing wrong.i searched jeepforum.com and found 3 other instances of the electronic throttle having issues.
While the vehicle is in cruise control mode the vehicle will shut down, accelerate, or shut down and restart and accelerate quickly.
Large crack developed in windshield at 15,000 miles after normal usage from minor rock damage.
The windshield cracked at the bottom right in the middle.the vehicle was not in motion and the window defroster was turned on.that is when the crack formed.
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.
First the windshield wipers stopped working (changed motor and controls) then the horn stopped working, then the blinker and lights along with the instrument panel. Switched the panel and finally the tipm which fixes all issues. Vehicle continued to run but parked it until after reinstalling the tipm.
As soon as i turn the car over, my dash lights, headlights come on.the headlight stalk and the windshield wiper stalk are inoperable.it's a safety hazard to drive my car.and after researching through multiple forums and sites online, it looks like this is a fairly common problem, with a non-standard resolution.not looking forward to the hours i'm going to have to spend getting this addressed.i was driving 8/14 when i noticed the issues.
This has occurred while driving and while keys were not even in the ignition. I was driving down the road and the horn started honking, wipers went off and windshield fluid started spraying every where. It has done it several times. It has also done this just when opening the doors and no keys in the ignition. It blinks through the gears on the transmission and has locked up the traction control. I have had it in to the dealership several times and it is just now possibly diagnosed with tipm. Impart of a jeep club in which we have an online forum and this in not just happening to my jeep its happening to many jeeps and i feel its a major safety concern. Chrysler has paid for several of the jeeps on the forum, so far they haven't paid for mine but i think this issue really needs to be addressed.
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!
The contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4.on three occasions while driving 25mph, the snow froze the linkage on the vehicle and the wipers didn't operate normally.snow also enters the heater ventilation screen at the base of the windshield, which is a closed chamber where the windshield wiper motor and the linkage is contained.the snow freezes into a solid mass where the linkage/ wipers will not work until you put some form of heat into the chamber to melt the ice.the rain also makes contact with the electrical components attached.the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure although they stated this failure has occurred in other vehicles. The manufacturer informed him to contact nhtsa. The failure mileage was 30.the current mileage was 2,100.

Cracking front windshield after turning on defroster.
The windshield on the vehicle is very weak.i have had three cracks in the last three weeks.this seems to occur on days below 32 degrees f.i do not travel gravel roads and have never had a vehicle windshield do this before.
During a snow or ice storm as the snow and ice collected on the vent below the windshield it gets in thearea where the wiper motor andother mechanical parts are,they then freeze and encase the wiper system in ice causing the wipers not to work.when the wipers are needed as road salt and dirt splash on the windshield they do not work.this causes a very unsafe condition restricting visibility.

2007 jeep wrangler unlimited - front end shakes violently at or above 55 mph after hitting small bump in road.steering wheel shakes back and forth violently, feels like wheels are goign to fall off or car will flip over - complete loss of control unless you slow down to 35mph - which is not easy to do on the highway in traffic.this occurs almost daily.to date we have replaced the track bar, replaced the tires, had the vehicle re-alligned and tires balanced.next step is to replace the steering stabilizer.so far no permanent fixes.
As i was driving down the highway, i hit a bump and my whole jeep rapidly rattled back and forth across the road, nearly causing multiple accidents.it startled me severely, and i slammed on my brakes, slowly decelerating. It took until i got down to 25mph for it to stop shimmying.i pulled off the highway into the nearest gas station, checked my tire pressure and made sure there were no identifiable obtrusions that would affect performance, and carried on, very cautiously.this happens quite often, sometimes going as low at 45mph, but only when something in the road knocks it off balance.i do not feel safe in my jeep at all.
The 2007 jeep wrangler 4 door has seemed to have several complaints regarding violent shaking. This has happened to me several times where the vehicle shakes so violently it feels like you are having a tire blown out. It almost throws you off the road. I was almost in an accident on the highway. I am nervous and do not think this vehicle is safe.
As a citizen of the united states of america with constitutional rights and consumer rights, this is regarding the "old/new chrysler jeep death wobble"corruption by all parties involved..affecting 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 chrysler jeeps.after much research this chrysler jeep design/manufacture defect has existed for many, many years but the fact of the matter is the defect was not redesigned or designed outas far as chrysler and nhtsa are concerned, this dangerous and life threatening defect does not exist and will never cause death!, only crashes and accidents!we as consumers are liable for any negative outcome due to "the jeep death wobble"; and when the consumer gets in a crash, accident, injures someone, kills someone due to this defect, unless we can prove it was "the jeep death wobble" that chrysler and nhtsa say is not a safety issue or of concern (even though thousands upon thousands of jeep consumers beg to differ)we are liable for chrysler's safety defect that causes crashes and accidents that may lead to death to the consumer and those drivers sharing the road.drivers sharing the road also have a right to have jeep consumers driving safe vehicles.chrysler states "chrysler jeeps are built differently" chrysler consumers state what is different than safe??!!!nhtsa, an agency of the executive branch of the united states government and part of the department of transportation, describes its mission as save lives, prevent injuries, reduce vehicle related crashes.nhtsa is supposed to be promoting safety to all vehicles on the road not contributing to unsafe jeeps or any dangerous vehicles on the road!nhtsa is also denying the truth and leaving us the jeep consumers liable when they have thousands upon thousands of reports on the jeep death wobble (also known as the ?steering shimmy?) and all the stories are the same.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4dr 4x4. At speeds over 50 mph, the front tires begin to shake and wobble violently. The shaking only stopped after i came to a complete stop. This happened after i hit a bumpy road. My jeep has been a street vehicle and really not going on the highway many times. I only have under 9,000 miles. Now that i live in california, and i have to drive in highways, i feel very uncomfortable driving speeds over 50 miles per hour.
While traveling on interstate at posted speeds every rough patch of roadway or going over a bridge (bump entering or exiting bridge) the steering wheel would shake violently. I would let off gas, gently apply brake and pull onto shoulder to get control back of vehicle. Sometimes i would have to come to a complete stop before the shaking would stop other times between 5 to 20 mphs the shaking would stop. This was a 300 mile trip home, ireduced speed to see if this would decrease the effects, it seem to help where roads were smoother but happened nearly just the same. The vehicle is equipped with electronic stability control which never activated. It has happened numerous time since dec 17 2011.
Was driving in normal road and weather conditions on i-680. Vehicle started violently shaking side to side, the steering wheel was shaking out of control. I was in extremely heavy traffic and had to slow down to about 30 mph for the shaking to stop. This is the third time this has happened since the first of the year. I took the vehicle for repair after the second incident to have steering parts replaced, but it did not remedy the incident. I am extremely scared to drive the vehicle - especially with my wife and three kids.
