NHTSA Complaint #10535053 — 2007 JEEP WRANGLER

I ENGAGED MY ELECTRONIC SWAYBAR DISCONNECT WHEN I WENT OFF-ROADING. WHEN I RETURNED TO PAVEMENT, I TRIED TO RECONNECT BY PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUED FLASHING ON THE DASH. I TOOK MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON IN TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AMONG RUBICON OWNERS. HERE IS THE LINK TO SOME OTHERS ON A JEEP FORUM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.JK-FORUM.COM/JK-ELECTRICAL-LIGHTING-SOUND-SYSTEMS-13/WARNING-RUBICON-OWNERS-YOUR-SWAYBAR-WILL-GET-YOU-177489/PAGE2/ THIS IS A REAL ISSUE, AS MOST JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS ELECTRONIC SWAYBAR DISCONNECT OPTION USE IT OFF-ROAD, FAR FROM CIVILIZATION. IN SOME CASES, THIS DEFECT HAS CAUSED THEIR VEHICLE TO FREEZE UP. THIS COULD BE DEADLY IN SOME OF THE REALLY HOT OR REALLY COLD LOCATIONS. *TR
