2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA Electrical System Problems

DROVE UP TO MY HOUSE AND PARKED THE JEEP (AFTER DRIVING 8-10 MILES). WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE. WITHIN 10 MINUTES WENT BACK OUTSIDE AND SMOKE WAS BOILING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND IT WAS DRIPPING FIRE ON THE GROUND. FULLY INVOLVED VERY QUICKLY.

DEATH WOBBLE-HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED AND COMES BACK. CANNOT DRIVE OVER 55 MPH IN CITY OR HIGHWAY WITHOUT ENTIRE CAR STARTING TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. WILL SHAKE FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND STOP ON ITS OWN. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR

Mileage: 65,000

WHEN I TURN THE KEY IT READS INVALID SKIM KEY AND WILL NOT CRANK UNLESS THE KEY IS PUSHED INTO THE CYLINDER WHEN A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE.

MY JEEP WILL START BUT NO GAUGES OR LIGHT ON DASH COME ON, THE WIPERS TURN ON AT FULL POWER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE JEEP WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE TIPM IS CAUSING THE ISSUES.

MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING FROM OK TO TX, BEFORE THE FIRE MY BRAKES WENT OUT AND MY WHEEL WAS LOCKED. BETWEEN A MINUTE OF RUNNING OUT OF THE CAR WITH MY BABY MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY IN FLAMES, MY JEEP WAS AT THE DEALER 2 WEEKS AGO FOR SERVICE, I NEVER HAVE A DASHBOARD WARNING, CAR WAS WORKING PERFECTLY UNTIL CAUGHT IN FIRE, OH BEFORE MY BREAKS WENT OUT MY CAR STARTED TO LOST POWER AND THE FIRE STARTED UNDER THE HOOD (PASSENGER SEAT) WE NEED SOME ANSWERS, THAT'S NOT FSIR....UPDATED 08/08/16 *BF...UPDATED 08/30/16 *BF *CN

OVER THE LAST 2 YEAR, I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES STARTING MY JEEP. IT WOULD NOT CRANK AT ALL 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THAN START WITH NO PROBLEMS. IT WOULD BE FINE FOR A FEW DAYS AND THAN DO IT AGAIN. MORNING, AFTERNOON, WHEN RAINING OR SNOWING, IT IS UNPREDICTABLE. STARTING 3 DAYS AGO, MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS COMING ON WHEN TURNING LEFT AND THAN WOULD GO OFF AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. TODAY, I HAD IT CHECKED AT WORK AND IT CAME UP AS THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG IS THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. I DROVE TO BIG O DODGE IN GREENVILLE AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT JUST BLEW ME OFF TELLING ME THAT THEIR IS NO RECALLS OR PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP. BUT I HAPPENED TO KNOW ONE OF THE TECHNICIAN THERE THAT TOLD ME ON MY WAY OUT THAT THEY ARE HAVING SOME ISSUE WITH THE WRANGLERS CONCERNING THESE ISSUES. SO I DECIDED TO LOOK ONLINE AND COME ACROSS A LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAIN ON FORUMS CONCERNING MY ISSUES AND THAN CAME ACROSS YOUR WEB SITE. [XXX], PHONE [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

I NOTICED A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY USED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED THAT ON OCCASION, NO PARTICULAR SPEED OR INCIDENT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD INDICATE ON THAT DASH FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AIRBAG EVEN WHEN NO ONE AND NOTHING WOULD BE SEATED IN PASSENGER SEAT. DURING ONE OF MY OIL CHANGE/SERVICE APPOINTMENTS THAT I REGULARLY KEEP I ASKED IF THEY COULD IDENTIFY THE ISSUE AND HAD STATED IT MAY JUST BE AN ELECTRICAL SENSOR ISSUE IN THE SEAT ITSELF THAT HAD BEEN DAMAGED WITH AN UNSUBSTANTIATED WEIGHT PLACED IN THE SEAT, SUCH AS A BAG OR SMALL CHILD, THAT AFFECTED THE SENSOR WAS NOT RATED FOR. I WAS DOING A RECALL SEARCH FOR MY VEHICLE, NONE LISTED, BUT NOTICED COMPLAINTS FILED FOR MANY VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL FOR THIS VERY SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING WITH THE AIRBAG INDICATOR. DATE INVESTIGATION OPENED: MAY 23, 2011 DATE INVESTIGATION CLOSED: NOV 07, 2011 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE11019 COMPONENT(S): AIR BAGS I'M SIMPLY FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO INDICATE MY VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE INDICATED AND IF ANY ACTION IS TAKEN TO CORRECT IT I'D LIKE TO BE ALERTED SO AS TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER WRANGLER SAHARA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE UNOCCUPIED VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN IT UNEXPECTEDLY ERUPTED INTO FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FIRE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE, WHICH ORIGINATED FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

Mileage: 40,000

VEHICLE STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC, DESPITE BATTERY BEING FULLY CHARGED. WITH A RESTART, THE BATTERY SYMBOL REMAINS ILLUMINATED, AND EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT AGAIN. OCCURRED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC CREATING TRAFFIC HAZARD. REMAINS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT IS ONLY REMEDIED BY COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF ENGINE AND WAITING SEVERAL MINUTES, THEN RESTARTING IT AND CHECKING TO CONFIRM THAT THE BATTERY SYMBOL IS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. SOMETIMES A BATTERY JUMP-START IS REQUIRED. ONE DANGEROUS ALTERNATIVE IS TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION WHILE VEHICLE IS ROLLING, RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, BUT OBVIOUS HAZARDS OF LOCKED STEERING WHEEL, LOSS OF CONTROL AND POSSIBLE CRASHES WOULD RESULT.
