THIS IS MY 7TH JEEP - PURCHASED AS USED WITH 65279 MILES ON IT. WITHIN A WEEK FROM PURCHASE THE TRANSMISSION POPPED OUT OF 1ST GEAR WHILE STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP. VERY LOUD AND STARTLING AND I THOUGHT IT WAS ME BEING NOT USED TO THIS VEHICLE. NO FURTHER INCIDENTS FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN CAUSING ME SUDDENLY STOP WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND NEARLY GETTING T-BONED. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I BEGAN TO TALK WITH OTHER JEEP OWNERS AND FOUND THIS WAS, AND STILL IS, AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS FROM 2007-CURRENT. FURTHER RESEARCH ON MY PART LED TO FINDING A TSB #21-001-10 REV A DATED 4-20-2010. THIS POPPING OUT OF GEAR HAPPENS VERY SPORADICALLY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING, HAS CAUSED ME TO NEARLY BECOME IN AN ACCIDENT (T-BONE OR REAR ENDED) BY THE SUDDEN, ALMOST EXPLOSIVE STOP ONE MAKES WHEN IT HAPPENS. ABOUT A MONTH AGO THIS BEGAN TO SLOWLY HAPPEN MORE OFTEN - TO THE POINT THAT I GOT IN THE HABIT OF HOLDING THE TRANSMISSION IN 1ST GEAR SO IT WOULD NOT POP OUT. WHEN I HAD THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM FOR ROUTINE SERVICE, I ASKED THE SERVICE TECH. ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND WAS ADVISED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS POPPING OUT BEGAN TO HAPPEN AS OFTEN AS 3 TIMES A DAY RESULTING IN MORE "CLOSE CALLS" AND, TSB IN HAND, I SCHEDULED THE PROBLEM TO BE CORRECTED AT THE DEALER. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THIS IS A $1200.00 REPAIR AND, AFTER THE WARRANTY PAYMENT, I WILL OWE ABOUT $400.00. THIS REALLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SOME TIME AND, I THINK MERITS FURTHER INVESTIGATION BY YOU FOLKS. I SEE RECALLS FOR THE WRANGLER FOR THINGS LIKE FLOOR MATS AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SENSORS WHICH "MAY" CAUSE AN ACCIDENT - THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR SOME TIME TO THE MANUFACTURER AND DOCUMENTED BY TSB REFERENCED ABOVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE "DEATH WOBBLE." WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ABOUT 65 MPH, I CROSSED OVER A BRIDGE AND WHEN MY FRONT TIRES GOT TO THE EDGE OF THE BRIDGE ON I-65, MY JEEP BEGAN SHAKING ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT 5 TIMES NOW IN THE LAST YEAR AND I ASSUMED IT WAS TIRE, SHOCK, OR ALIGNMENT ISSUES. NEW TIRES AND SHOCKS AND FRONT END ALIGNED. NOTHING DIFFERENT! *TR

OVER TIME THE STOCK L/F TIRE RUBBED THROUGH THE BRAKE LINE CAUSING THE L/F CALIPER TO LOCK UP WEARING DOWN THE L/F BRAKE PADS AND OVERHEATING THE ROTOR. THE BRAKE HOSE, CALIPER , BRAKE PADS AND FRONT BRAKE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAD AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC LOOK AT THIS AND HE BELIEVES IT IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN ON THE VEHICLE. THE STOCK L/F TIRE SHOULD NEVER TOUCH THE BRAKE LINE WITHIN THE TURNING RADIUS OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T TRAVEL VERY FAR WITH THE CALIPER LOCKED ON THE WHEEL, IT COULD OF LED TO A FIRE. CHRYSLER DID NOT CLAIM ANY FAULT AND CHARGED ME FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE FOUND OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS POSTED ONLINE. *TR

DRIVING MY STOCK 2007 JEEP WRANGLER ON I-77 IN CHARLESTON WV AT 65MPH. STARTED ROUNDING A LEFT HAND CURVE IN THE ROAD WHEN I HIT SOME MINOR BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE STARTED BOUNCING AND SHAKING VIOLENTLY NEARLY CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW AND PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE SHAKE WENT AWAY AT ABOUT 15-20 MPH.
