1 Rear Suspension problem of the 2007 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 08/01/2009

2007 Jeep Wrangler: rear track bar bracket welds broke, creating a dangerous handling and safety issue. Further research on the internet revealed that this is a known issue, common for both modified and stock vehicles, but more so on vehicles which have had a lift kit installed. While the push back may be that it's rare on stock vehicles, Jeeps are the most commonly and extensively modified vehicles on the road, and Jeep cannot make the claim that they are unaware of this fact based on millions of modified Jeeps and Chrysler's involvement selling modifications as well as in off road activities for Jeeps. Additionally, according to my research, Chrysler modified it's method of welding the brackets in mid-08.

3 Rear Suspension problem of the 1997 Jeep Wrangler

Failure Date: 04/11/2000

Noticed oil leaking. Had the vehicle serviced at the dealer who put a new seal on. After a second seal was put on, took it to the dealer to have the torque turning checked on the rear pinion gear. Was told that the bearings were all bad and needed to be replaced. Also, they had to rebuilt the rear end.
