2007 Jeep Wrangler unlimited 4dr 4x4. At speeds over 50 mph, the front tires begin to shake and wobble violently. The shaking only stopped after I came to a complete stop. This happened after I hit a bumpy road. My Jeep has been a street vehicle and really not going on the highway many times. I only have under 9,000 miles. Now that I live in California, and I have to drive in highways, I feel very uncomfortable driving speeds over 50 miles per hour.

I bought my 2009 Jeep Wrangler around October, November 2009, used with about 16,000 miles from world car Nissan with a one hundred thousand mile warranty. The Jeep came with an after market lift kit of approx 4 inches with 33 inch toyo open country tires "rancho shocks, sky jacker lift" world car told me the Jeep came like this originally from the dealer. World car encouraged me to take the Jeep and test drive it for a couple of days. After returning the Jeep I told them that I liked the Jeep but it had handling issues on the road. While test driving the Jeep on normal roads I noticed the Jeep would track hard and pull to the left and to the right almost causing me to run off the road on multiple occasions. World car said they would check out the front end alignment and balance the tires. I purchased the Jeep. When picking up the Jeep they told me they took care of all the problems. Jeep assured me the handling issues were due to the lift and larger tires. About two weeks later leaving work I turned a corner and my right front tire started klunking and wobbling. The right front tire was missing 4 of 5 lug nuts and had one broken stud. Only one lug nut was holding my tire on. The Jeep had to be towed. World car gave me a loaner car, repaired the problem, with no apology and no explanation. Around July 2009, I drove to port arkansas texas, I drove to the beach. I only drove in the normal traffic lanes no four wheeling. The next week on Friday while driving down ih 35 the vehicle suddenly jerked to the left almost causing me to have an accident. On Saturday I noticed the right rear shock hanging down. The upper shock support pin was broken off. Jeep accused me of four wheeling and abusing the Jeep, they repaired it at no cost to me. Some times the traction control system comes on pre-maturely while making corners making the Jeep hard to handle. Now the esp bas light came on and stays on. On Jeepforum. Com esp bas failure appears to be a common problem.

2007 Jeep Wrangler 4x4 safari with esp (electronic stability program). Esp intermittently turns on by itself and can't be turned off. It will eventually turn itself off. Dealer tells me it's caused by a defective clock spring in the steering column, which also controls the steering wheel air bag, cruise control and the horn! I feel this is a safety concern, if any of these devices quit working, because of a defective clock spring!!!!.
Rear brakes on 2008 Wrangler unlimited wore completely out in 24,400 miles. The front brake pads were at 80% according to the Jeep dealer service tech. There was no underlying cause such as sticking calipers or slides according to the technician. The discs were scored and needed to be resurfaced. Although the end result was within tolerance, the surface of both rotors remained scored in several spots. After complaining to the manager they decided to replace both rear discs with new mopar discs. My fear is not identifying an underlying cause for the premature failure. With advanced design and computer driven sensors, there may be a safety issue yet to be identified. I've never had the need to replace rear brakes on a vehicle so soon and considering the condition of the front brake equipment, my suspicion is a system fault that may need to be identified. Please call me with any questions.

While turning into my driveway my 2007 Jeep Wrangler x (with 55000 miles) "chimed" and the air-bag , traction control, and anti-lock brake warning lights lit up. Upon investigsting the issue I found that this leaves the saftey systems inactive! a bad "clock spring" in the steering wheel is he cause of all the system failures. My vehicle is no longer covered under warranty, but I feel that this should still be covered by Jeep/Chrysler. This is a major safty concern or me and my family.
