I bought my 2007 Jeep Wrangler in November 2020. It had approximately 122,000 miles on it and has the 6 speed manual transmission. After driving it for 7 days, I was backing out of a parking spot and heard a loud squeal and was unable to shift gears. It had to have the clutch replaced along with the flywheel and several other clutch associated parts. The total was $1,600. The salesman at the dealership where I bought it told me as I was buying it that there is no warranty but if something happens in the first couple of weeks that he would work with us. Of course he did not help me. He wouldn't even return my phone calls. Whatever, buyer beware! second issue is of course the fuel spit back problem. Every time I fill up, I end up with gas on the Jeep and on the ground. I love wasting money like that. There is apparently a recall on this issue but your website says my vehicle has no recalls. Third issue is all the door hinges are rusting really bad. I saw that there were several service bulletins on the proper procedures for replacing those hinges. Those should be replaced by the dealer at no cost.

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. It was 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 same problems I have had.

All hinges including doors and hood are failing due to galvanic corrision.

I have been able to determine that the water is leaking from the top of the vehicle running down the frame between the front and back doors onto the floor board.

Today (08-04-10) I contacted the Chrysler corporation who said, "it's out of warranty, it's up to you as to how you want to perceive it. " I advised the customer service representative that I have researched this problem and have found that there has been a multitude of the same complaints regarding the 2007 model Jeep Wrangler both hard and soft tops and there are numerous occasions posted where Chrysler had offered to buy the Jeep back or replace with a different Chrysler vehicle as long as it was not another Jeep Wrangler.

My Jeep Wrangler 2007 shakes so violently that I can no longer drive it. I am afraid that I may kill someone or my self or my kid. It is the scariest thing ever. At three (3) different occasions I almost crash. I heard so many Jeep owners have the same problem, so why Chrysler are not doing something about this serious promble? they tried to tell me its front end or a tire issue. I have changed my steering damper, my stablelizer bar and bushings. Had it alligned and bought new tires and balance. Problem still exist. The vehicle has been towed back to the dealer as of this morning. And they are trying to stick me with a bill for any repairs done to rectify this wobbling issue.

2007 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. 85,000. All 4 door hinges top and lower have been bubbling and rusting from day 1. Dealer stated twice during warranty period issue that rusting is cosmetic, and not covered under warranty. Working with Chrysler (800. 763. 8422) with a pending case. The issue seems to be a overwhelming problem.

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.
