This Problem Across All Years
NO MATTER HOW LONG THE JEEP RUNS I ONLY HAVE HEAT ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. I HAVE VERIFIED THAT MY BLEND DOORS ARE WORKING. LIVING IN COLORADO THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE, MY WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST COMPLETELY.

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.

MY JEEP WITH 86K MILES ENGINE BLEW. ONE WEEK EARLIER WHEN DRIVING OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR IT SEEMED TO WOBBLE A BIT FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON. I HAVE ONLY OWNED IT FOR A MONTH AND IT IS A 2ND VEHICLE AND I WAS NOT SURE IF THAT WAS NORMAL OR NOT. THEN AFTER NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS I MOVED IT OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS LESS THEN A BLOCK FROM MY HOME WHEN THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND HALF A BLOCK LATER THE ENGINE CUT OUT. THE CAR WOULDNT START AGAIN AND I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY TOLD ME THE INTERNAL FUEL PUMP SEEMED TO MALFUNCTION AND THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN! WHEN I RETURNED HOME I NOTICED A POOL OF OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY. THIS CAR SAT FOR DAYS AND WAS BARELY DRIVEN BY ME SINCE MY PURCHASE. HOW DOES AN ENGINE AT 86K MILES JUST BLOW? HOW DOES OIL JUST DUMP OUT OF A VEHICLE? WHY? WELL DOING INTERNET RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT THIS 2007 ENGINE YEAR THERE WAS A MISTAKE IN THE ENGINES WHERE PISTONS WERE PUT IN UPSIDE DOWN? THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS AND MANY 2007 JEEPS HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN. I AM LUCKY IT HAPPENED ON A LOCAL ROAD, IF I WAS DRIVING 65 IN MIDDLE LANE OF A HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF I WOULD BE DEAD. I COULDNT STEER IT. IT JUST STOPPED..... I HAVE TRIED CALLING CHRYSLER AND HAVE BEEN TRANSFERED MANY TIMES TO OTHER PEOPLE, I AM AT A LOSS OF WHAT TO DO. AGAIN, I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE 1.5 MONTHS...

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, IF YOU HIT A ROUGH SPOT ON THE ROAD, IT STARTS TO SHIMMY AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO VIOLENTLY JERK BACK AND FORTH. THE FRONT TIRES ARE WOBBLING. YOU HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY GRIPPING THE STEERING WHEEL AND PUSH ON THE BRAKE AS HARD AS YOU CAN WITHOUT LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE TO GET IT STOPED.

I ALMOST HAD FATAL CRASH WITH MY CHILDREN BECAUSE OF 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IT'S NOT FUNNY & JEEP NEEDS TO BE SUED FOR REFUSING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE! OVER 50 TIMES WHEN TRAVELING 65 MPH THE VEHICLES SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY FORCING ME TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!

JEEP VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE L. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. FROM DOING RESEARCH ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE WHO OWN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION JEEP JK MODEL. THIS CAN BE EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS WHEN GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS OR CHANGING LANES AS THE JEEP WILL POP OUT IF GEAR AND NO LONGER ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE DAY ONE OF ME PURCHASING IT.

HIT 50 MILES AN HOUR AND VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURRED. HAD TO STOP QUICKLY AND PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER TO GET OFF THE ROAD. HAD PARTS REPLACED. NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. JEEP FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. I HAD IT BACK IN SHOP WITH EXTENSIVE WORK DONE THIS YEAR. STILL NO FIX. AT A LOSS. MY DAUGHTER REFUSES TO RIDE IT IN AS WE ALMOST HIT SOMEONE HEAD ON BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENED. HAVE ALSO HAD IT HAPPEN WHERE IT PUT ME OFF INTO THE SIDE OF A DITCH. I HAVE DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS DUE TO CANCER AN HOUR AWAY. HAVE TO GET A RIDE BECAUSE I CANT TRUST TO DRIVE IT. I TAKE COUNTRY BACK ROADS EVERYWHERE AND MAKE ONLY SHORT TRIPS INTO TOWN. I'M ON DISABILITY, SO THE OPTION TO TRADE IT IN IS OUT. CAN'T SELL IT KNOWING IT MIGHT VERY WELL KILL THE NEXT OWNER. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER. ALL STOCK, NO MODIFICATIONS. *TR

FUEL SPIT BACK ISSUE! I RECENTLY JUST BOUGHT THIS JEEP FROM A LOCAL DEALER THAT FIRST NIGHT WHILE LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I WENT TO FILL UP MY TANK. THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T FILL UP YOUR TANK IF YOU BUY A USED CAR. WHILE STANDING AND WAITING FOR THE PUMP NOZZLE TO STOP I DID WHAT I USUALLY DO AND WAITED BY THE FUEL NOZZLE. AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE CLICKED LETTING ME KNOW THAT THE TANK WAS FULL AND UPON TAKING OUT THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE I NOTICED THAT ABOUT 3/4 OF A QUART OF GAS POURED OUT ALL OVER MY SHOES. AT FIRST I DIDN'T MIND THIS BUT AFTER A FEW TIMES OF REFUELING TO FULL THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME! IT SEEMS AS IF THERE IS PRESSURE IN THE TANK THAT BUILDS UP AND IS NOT RELEASED DURING FILLING. EACH AND EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN AND PUMP UNTIL FULL ALSO IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE FUEL PUMP IS ON HIGH PRESSURE OR LOW PRESSURE. GAS POURS OUT!

2007 JEEP WRANGLE SAHARA FOUR DOOR FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SIX SPEED STANDARD . WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT 60MPH WHILE HITTING A MINOR BUMP IN ROADWAY SENDS VEHICLE INTO A VIGOROUS SHAKING. THIS IS NOT A MINOR SHAKING IT SENDS VEHICLE INTO A VERY RAPID SIDE TO SIDE PULLING MOTIONS. I WAS BARLEY ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY WITH MY TWO YEAR OLD AND 6 MONTHS OLD DAUGHTERS IN THE JEEP DURING THE INCIDENT. THE JEEP IS 100% STOCK NO AFTER MARKET PARTS AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. *TR
