2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4X4 stability control problems

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

TAKA AIRBAGS, TIPM FUSE BOX. COMPLETELY DISABLES THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT AND HAVE BEEN RUNNING THIS PART IN MANY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP VEHICLES SINCE 1995.MY CAR IS A 2007. IT RECKON HAVOCK ON THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE DEALER MILKS ALL OF YOUR 260 SOMTHING SENSORS BEFORE REPLACING THE TIPM, TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. AND THE SWAY BAR DISCONNECT IS PRONE TO WATER DAMAGE AND SHORTING OUT BECAUSE THEY LET WATER IN THE ASSEMBLY AND SHORT OUT THEN THEY CHARGE YOU 1400 DOLLARS FOR A NEW ONE. WHEN IT IS JUST THE ACTUATOR. A MANUAL OVERRIDE IS ONLY 89.00.ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE FROM THE CAN BUSE C. 90 %OF THIS VEHICLE PROBLEMS ARE FROM THIS CAN BUSE C. BUT NO RECALL ON THE TIPM, SWAY BAR ACTUATOR, OR CAN BUSE C COMMUNICATION. THIS WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHOULD BE A RECALL. IT IS GARBAGE. OVER COMPLICATED AND UNDER NESASARY! DRIVING DONE THE FREEWAY AND THE WHOLE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP I PULLED OVER TURNED CAR OFF AND THEN WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. GOES IN TO A LIMP MODE. I WAS WORRIED THAT IT WOULD SHUT OFF OR WORSE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR LEAVE ME STRANDED IN THE FREEWAY! THE AIRBAG RECALL COULD SET THE AIRBAG OF WILE DRIVING CAUSING YOU TO CRASH.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I HIT A BUMP AND MY WHOLE JEEP RAPIDLY RATTLED BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE ROAD, NEARLY CAUSING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. IT STARTLED ME SEVERELY, AND I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES, SLOWLY DECELERATING. IT TOOK UNTIL I GOT DOWN TO 25MPH FOR IT TO STOP SHIMMYING. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE NEAREST GAS STATION, CHECKED MY TIRE PRESSURE AND MADE SURE THERE WERE NO IDENTIFIABLE OBTRUSIONS THAT WOULD AFFECT PERFORMANCE, AND CARRIED ON, VERY CAUTIOUSLY. THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN, SOMETIMES GOING AS LOW AT 45MPH, BUT ONLY WHEN SOMETHING IN THE ROAD KNOCKS IT OFF BALANCE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY JEEP AT ALL.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

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.

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!!!!

I WAS DRIVING A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I FILLED THE TIRES TO THE SPECIFIED AMOUNT AND DROVE DOWN THE ROAD. THE JEEP ALL OF A SUDDEN VIOLENTLY SHOOK BACK AND FOURTH TO THE POINT I COULD BARLEY HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, VISUALLY CHECK THE WHEELS AND DRIVE AWAY AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I BELIEVE WHAT I EXPERIENCED WAS THE "DEATH WOBBLE." NOW RECENTLY MY FATHER WAS DRIVING THE SAME JEEP AND IT HAPPENED TO HIM 3 TIMES ON A ROAD TRIP WITHOUT THE TIRE PRESSURES BEING CHANGED. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACE THE STEERING STABILIZER. I BELIEVE THIS IS JUST A FIX TO THE DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSED BY THE JEEPS MALFUNCTIONS AND THEY DID NOT FIX ANYTHING TO PREVENT THE WOBBLE FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4X4 - 1. EVERYTIME I FILL GAS TANK, GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF TANK AT ME AND DOWN SIDE OF JEEP. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. 2. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE OTHER DAY AND 3 DIFFERENT MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, JEEP POWERED OFF. NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. VERY ODD, SCARY AND UNSAFE??? CAR IS AT DEALERSHIP, NO CLUE WHY THIS HAPPENED AT THIS TIME. DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO TAKE ENGINE APART AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $900. WHAT IS CHRYSLER GOING TO DO ABOUT THESE ISSUES.?
