WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 40-45MPH MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE HIT A BUMP. WHEN THAT HAPPENED THE ENTIRE FRONT END BEGAN TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. THE ONLY THING THAT CURED THE ISSUE WAS TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE. ONCE IT GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 15MPH IT FINALLY STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS JEEP. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED TIE RODS AND A STEERING DAMPENER BUT IT'S NEVER GONE AWAY COMPLETELY. *TR
Fuel/propulsion system, May 21, 2012
WHILE FILLING IT WITH GAS, IT OVERFLOWS AND THEN CLICKS OFF AFTER IT HAS SPILLED ENOUGH TO REACH THE GROUND. MAYBE 2 CUPS OF GAS GOES ALL OVER THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE, AND ONTO THE GROUND. I CAN HEAR AIR PRESSURE SOMETIMES JUST BEFORE IT SPURTS GAS, BUT NOT SOON ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE SPILL. THIS CONDITION HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED NOW. *TT

THE CONTACT JERKED AT THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE FAILURE CEASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY HAD TO RESET THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V291000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
Suspension, May 15, 2012
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE OF 16,640 IN 2011 CONFIDENT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE BECAUSE OF THE CAR FAX. THERE WERE NO INCIDENTS REPORTED. I AM SURE THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM AND REPORTED IT. WHAT OTHER REASON WOULD THERE BE FOR SUCH LOW MILEAGE. WHEN WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY A MONTH LATER TO REPORT THE PROBLEM OF THE FRIGHTENING WOBBLE WHEN HITTING SMALL POTHOLE HE SMILED AND SAID "OH YEAH THAT'S THE (DEATH WOBBLE)". AND THEN HE TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEREFORE WE ARE STUCK BECAUSE WE COULD NOT PASS THIS VEHICLE ON IN GOOD CONSCIENCE TO ANYONE AND THAT IS OVER A $20,000 LOSS TO THE CONSUMER. I WANT TO KNOW WHY SOMETHING THAT CAN CAUSE THIS KIND OF ACCIDENT PROMOTING INCIDENT NOT TO BE REPORTED TO THE NEXT PURCHASER OF THAT PARTICULAR VEHICLE OR REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE RESALE. OUR TRIP TO AND FROM HOT SPRINGS NC ON I81 S AND N AT SPEEDS OF 65-70 MPH WAS A HAIR RAISING EXPERIENCE. SURROUNDED BY TRACTOR TRAILERS A CERTAIN DEATH WOULD HAVE COME TO ANYONE WHO WENT INTO A PANIC. I AM OUTRAGED AND DISAPPOINTED BY MY DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER OF THE SUSPENSION IN THIS VEHICLE AS THE SAFETY TESTING HAD TO SHOW A PROBLEM!!!!! I'M SURE THEY REDESIGNED THE STABILIZING SYSTEM IN THE NEXT YEAR OF THIS 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X!!! IT IS THE FRONT STABILIZER BAR AND SHOCK ABSORBING ASSEMBLY SO DO NOT LET THEM TELL YOU ITS ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT! *JS

THIS JEEP IS A DEATH TRAP AND A MONEY TRAP. MY FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED FEB 16TH, 2011 AND COST 600.00. NEEDED A NEW STEERING DAMPNER WHICH THEY REPLACED. TWO MONTHS LATER SAME THING HAPPENS AND THEY REPLACE THE SAME PIECE WITH THE NEWER STEERING DAMPNER. TWO DAYS AGO THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN AND NOW I NEED TO SPEND MORE MONEY TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM. RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND IT'S CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" HAD I KNOWN THIS EXISTED I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR, I FEEL SO UNSAFE IN THIS CAR. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER JEEP AND WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW TO NOT BUY ONE. THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED FOR FREE, AND THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE SUED FOR MAKING CARS THAT ARE THIS UNSAFE. *JS
