NHTSA Complaint #10690916 — 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4

ON FEBRUARY 26, 2015, DUE TO UNKNOWN EXHAUST NOISE, MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WAS EVALUATED BY JIM AT DAVES AUTOMOTIVE IN VISALIA, CA. DURING THIS EVAL. JIM REPORTED BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS (STOCK) WERE CRACKED AND EMITTING EXHAUST. ADDITIONALLY JIM REPORTED THAT DUE TO THE FAULTY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT BOTH WERE MISSING BOLTS WHICH WERE FORCED OUT OF THEIR LOCATION DUE TO THE FAULTY MANIFOLDS. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP LAMPE DODGE JEEP IN VISALIA, CA THEY INFORMED ME THIS PROBLEM WAS COMMON AND THE REASON THEY KEPT THE MANIFOLDS IN STOCK. ADDITIONALLY, IN JANUARY WE HAD THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN REPAIRED AT LAMPE AND REQUESTED THEY EVALUATE THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM WHICH ONLY WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THEY REPORTED THEY KEEP THE TIPM MODULE IN STOCK TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WHICH WAS COMMON IN THE JEEP WRANGLERS AND OTHER MODELS.
