2007 JEEP WRANGLER Electrical System Problems

Vehicle Information: Make: Jeep Model: Wrangler Model Year: 2007 VIN: [XXX] Safety Recall Information: NHTSA Campaign ID: 16V-290 Manufacturer Recall Number: S33 Component: Airbag / Clock Spring This recall was previously performed by a dealership in February 2021; however, the vehicle is now experiencing the same symptoms the recall was intended to address, indicating the safety defect has reoccurred or was not permanently remedied. The vehicle is currently experiencing: Illuminated airbag (SRS) warning light Horn failure Traction control / electronic stability program warning light Erratic or abnormal A/C behavior that coincides with the SRS/steering wheel electrical faults These failures are consistent with a defective clock spring and directly impact the Supplemental Restraint System and other active safety systems. I contacted an authorized Jeep dealership to request inspection and repair of this recurring safety defect. The dealership confirmed the recall had been previously completed but refused to diagnose or repair the...

TIPM failure. Recall 07V291000 My vehicle (2007 Jeep Wrangler) is not included in the recall, although it was recalled for this model. Car suddenly had a variety of bizarre electrical malfunctions including wipers acting on their own, difficulty starting, and stalling while driving. Mechanic inspection ($150) Also contirmed that it is the TIPM. The vehicle is too dangerous to drive before the TIPM is replaced.

In 2022, I paid over $15,000 to an official Jeep dealership (Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM City, Greenwich CT) to replace the engine in my Jeep Wrangler. Without clear disclosure or consent, they installed a non-OEM Jasper remanufactured engine. The invoice misleadingly stated “ALL PARTS ARE NEW UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED,” with no mention of Jasper or warranty terms. The vehicle began malfunctioning almost immediately, raising multiple serious safety concerns, confirmed by written service exchanges: •“The Jeep is stopping alone! Just crazy, brakes come on alone” — 🛑 Spontaneous brake engagement poses a serious crash risk. •“It also smells strong gas when turning the car on” — 🚨 Potential fuel leak or misfire, which is a fire hazard. •“The Jeep is malfunctioning,” “check engine light came back on,” “needs a PCM”, followed by: “I’m not sure this is a computer problem, but the motor you folks placed in the car.” — ⚠️...

Premature failure of TIPM, multifunction headlight switch and multifunction switch.causing no wipers or turn signals engine shuts down randomly. Faulty rollover valve in gas tank that leaks fumes and gas spits from fuel fill when full

The door locks will unlock and lock by themselves. Without anything being touched. It does it so often that it will run the battery dead at night as the headlights come on every time the vehicle unlock is triggered. Also the horn will sound for no reason. Unprovoked at all hours. No warning whatsoever.

TIMP HAS GONE BAD. CAUSES ALL GAUGES TO QUIT WORKING, STALLS ENGINE DURING OPERATIING, DOOR LOCKS AND SECURITY SYSTEM INOPERABLE, HEADLIGHTS WORK THEN DON'T WORK. LIGHTS COME ON EVEN IF SWITCH IS OFF. WINDOW MOTORS QUIT WORKING. THE WELL KNOWN FAILURE OF THE TIMP IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY ALL JEEP WRANGLER SERIES DATING AS FAR BACK AS 2006, HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED NOR FIXED BY CHRYSLER. THIS TIMP FAILURE IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS AN IMMEDIATE RECALL FORCED UPON CHRYSLER/DAIMLER/JEEP. MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER JKU TIMP QUIT WORKING, WHILST I WAS DRIVING. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT OF WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURY, AND/OR DEATH. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO PHYSICALLY THROUGH THE DISABLED POWER STEERING TO STOP VEHICLE. THROUGH MY RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE PLAGUING NEARLY EVERY JEEP WRANGLER PRODUCED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW TO ADDRESS THIS...

TL* THE CONTACT'S WIFE OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HORN SOUNDED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT. ADDITIONALLY, THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING FLICKERED ON AND OFF. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD TURN ON INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED HIM THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). THE MECHANIC THEN INFORMED THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V291000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) WHICH WAS LINKED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THAT VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 185,000.

WHILE DRIVING APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT IN TOWN THE WIPERS CAME ON, WINDSHIELD FLUID STARTED SPRAYING, HORN WAS BLARING AND ENGINE STALLED. THE 2ND TIME I WAS ON A HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH AND THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED I COASTED IN A SUBDIVISION STARTED THE ENGINE BACK UP AND THIS TIME WHEN I GOT HOME I COULD REMOVE KEY AND THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THE TIPM BECAUSE WHILE THE 'CHRISTINE EFFECT' IS GOING ON I CAN TAP THE TIPM COVER AND IT STOPS.

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER HAS A SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE DEATH WOBBLE! I HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT UNTIL IT DID IT WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH SUBURB STREET AND I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR HELP. THE JEEP OWNERS COMMUNITY NAMED IT THE DEATH WOBBLE BECAUSE IT LITERALLY WOBBLES AND SHAKES WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS, WITHOUT ANYTHING TRIGGERING IT, ON EVERY TYPE OF ROAD, AND AT EVERY SPEED. AFTER IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY SON IN THE CAR WITH ME, I NO LONGER ALLOWED MY CHILDREN TO RIDE IN THE JEEP AT ALL. WE ALMOST DIED THAT DAY AS IT SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY ALMOST PUTTING US IN THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE! WE MISSED GETTING T-BONED BY AN 18 WHEELER BY JUST A HAIR. IT WAS SO FRIGHTENING! THE JEEP DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT SAID THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT...

VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE SITTING IN DRIVEWAY IN FRONT OF HOME 30 MINUTES AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE. TOTAL LOSS.

FOR THE SECOND TIME A BRAKE LINE HAS BROKEN CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. I CALLED JEEP AND WAS TOLD THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL AND THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AROUND A CIRCLE AT A MAJOR HIGHWAY INTERSECTION WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED. I GUESS A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PEOPLE MUST DIE BEFORE A RECALL IS MADE. HAVE HAD AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH BLINKERS SINCE I OWNED THE CAR. WHEN TURNING OFF BLINKER WHEN CHANGING LANES, THE OPPOSITE BLINKER COMES ON. TRYING TO TURN THAT SIDE OFF, THEN MAKES THE OTHER SIDE COME BACK ON. IT TAKES GOING BACK AND FORTH FOR A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT WILL JUST TURN OFF.

NO TURN SIGNALS, NO PARKING LIGHTS, NO HORN, DOORS DO NOT UNLOCK/ LOCK, CRANKS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE STARTING OR DOES NOT START, HAZARD INDICATORS TURN ON WITHOUT PROMPTING. THESE ISSUES MAKE FOR EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING. DEALER SAID I NEED A TIPM REPLACEMENT. THERE WAS A COMPLETED RECALL ON THE SOFTWARE FOR THE TIPM, BUT NOW THE ENTIRE COMPONENT IS FAULTY AND THE REPAIRS ARE OVER $1000.00

TIPM ELECTRICAL ISSUE. CAUSING INOPERABLE TURN SIGNALS,PARKING LIGHTS, HORN, POWER WINDOW ON DRIVERS SIDE, AND SOMETIMES, DOEST START OF TURN OVER. AUTO REPAIR SHOP SAYS IT NEEDS A TIPM REPLACEMENT

VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND PUT ITSELF INTO LIMP MODE UPON DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF A 3 WEEK PERIOD. OBD-II THREW CODES PERTAINING TO FAILING SENSORS IN EGR, CAMSHAFT AND ACCELERATION PEDAL. READ MANY ONLINE FORUMS ABOUT OTHER WITH JEEP AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVING FAULTY TIPM UNITS. MY CAR WILL NOW NOT RUN WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE IT'S BEING STARVED OF FUEL. I FEAR THE BAD TIPM MAY HAVE ALSO CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO GO BAD. CHRYSLER WAS LESS THAN HELPING IN SUGGESTING I BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND WAS TOLD MY WARRANTY (IF I EVEN HAD ONE STILL VALID) COULD BE VOIDED FOR BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A SHOP MY FRIEND OWNS FOR THE REPAIRS INSTEAD OF A DEALERSHIP. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED IT TWO YEARS AGO. I'M IN THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN NON ROUTINE REPAIRS...

FACTORY CAR RADIO GOES ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON. WHEN IT GOES OFF THE UNIT SEEMS TO HAVE NO POWER TO IT AND IT COMES BACK ON AT RANDOM TIMES. YOU CAN GO WEEKS WITHOUT THE RADIO AND IT WILL COME BACK ON FOR A DAY OR SO FOR NO REASON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND HEAD LIGHTS FLICKERED. THE CONTACT SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND SAW FIRE SHORTLY AFTER. THE CONTACT STATED HE PULLED OFF NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FROM THE BATTERY AND THE FIRE TURNED OFF ON IT'S OWN. A POLICE WAS NOT FILED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHERE HE WAS TOLD THE TIPM/FUSE BOX SHORTED OUT AND MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK MAKES CLICKING NOISE, WILL ONLY UNLOCK/LOCK WHEN DONE ON INSIDE MANUALLY OR ON THE OUTSIDE BY KEY. DOOR SWITCH AND KEY FOB BOTH DO NOT UNLOCK/LOCK DOOR WHEN PARKED. THE DOOR DOES NOT AUTO-LOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHUT OFF. DROVE IT INTO THE CARPORT TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP RUNNING, EVEN WITH THE KEY TURNED OFF AND REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION... ALL GAUGES WERE RANDOMLY TURNING ON AND OFF, AND THE HORN WAS INTERMITTENTLY BLARING. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME.

ENGINE DIES AT HIGHWAY SPEED . ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH LIGHT UP. AFTER PULLING OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, WONT START FOR 5-10 MINUTES. VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS 3 TIMES IN LAST 6 WEEKS. CANNOT DIAGNOSE BECAUSE NO CODES ARE RECORDED.

MY CAR STARTED ACTING UP. NEIGHBORS WOULD COME REGULARLY RING MY HOUSE BELL TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE JEEP'S HEADLIGHTS WERE ON. THE JEEP WAS PARKED IN THE STREET. THE PROBLEM: IT WOULDN'T STAY LOCKED. IT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK WHENEVER. WE ONLY HAVE STREET PARKING AT HOME AND IT WAS VERY STRESSFUL TO LEAVE THE CAR OPEN AT NIGHT IN THE STREET OR EVEN WHEN GOING PLACES. ALSO THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GETTING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD OR SOMETIMES STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY! FINALLY, THE RIGHT BLINKER WOULDN'T WORK AND THAT PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE RELATED TO THE BROKEN LOCKING/UNLOCKING SYSTEM. AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS 5 TIMES (EACH TIME THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT IT WASN'T), AFTER REPLACING THE TIPM AND ALL THE WIPER MOTOR...

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, INSIDE OF GARAGE WITH HIGH CEILINGS. VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE AFTER SITTING WITH ENGINE OFF FOR MORE 3 HOURS. LOOKED LIKE STARTED AT FUSE BOX AREA. *TT *TR

JEEP WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN TURNING THE KEY OVER THE JEEP WILL CLICK ONCE AND THE STARTER WILL NOT TURN OVER. SOMETIMES YOU CAN TRY AGIN RIGHT AWAY AND IT'LL START. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO WIGGLE THE GEAR SHIFTER, AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES AWHILE TO GET IT TO TURN OVER AND START. I WAS TOLD IT IS EITHER AN IGNITION PROBLEM OR A NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH, BUT GEARED TOWARDS THE LATTER. IT DOES IT WHETHER PARKED ON A HILL, FLAT, WARM OR COLD. ACCORDING TO MANY JEEP PAGES AND FORUMS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REMOTE DOOR LOCK WOULD NOT OPERATE. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FUSE TO THE DOORS HAD BLOWN. THE FUSE WAS REPLACED BUT, MOMENTS LATER, HAD BLOWN A SECOND TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER JEEP, DODGE, CHRYSLER AND FIAT OF YAKIMA WASHINGTON WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MODULE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED. DURING THE REPAIR, IT WAS ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE WIRE HARNESS TO THE TIPM HAD MELTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

I JUST PURCHASED MY JEEP ABOUT A MONTH AGO. I HAD A 30 DAY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY FROM THE DEALER, BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE TIPM WAS DEFECTIVE, AND MY JEEP WILL NOT START NOW AS A RESULT. I CONTACTED A PARTS DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND NO RELEASE DATE AVAILABLE.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE (R13/NHTSA 15V-222) FOR CLUTCH INTERLOCK SWITCH. I REMOVED THE PART (1 CLIP AND ONE CONNECTOR) AND TRIED TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART AT LOCAL DEALER. THEY ATTEMPTED TO CHARGE FOR THE PART AND I ASKED FOR NO CHARGE DUE TO RECALL. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME THE PART BECAUSE I "MIGHT NOT INSTALL IT CORRECTLY". THEY WANTED ME TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR (PUT THE PART BACK IN AND DRIVE TO THE DEALER, WHICH GAVE THEM ENOUGH FAITH THAT I COULD PLUG IT IN?). I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT AT DEALER TO HAVE A PART PLUGGED IN, SO CONTACTED FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE. DEBATE ENSUED REGARDING WHAT FCA WILL AND WILL NOT PAY FOR. I PROPOSED THAT I WILL BUY THE PART AND SUBMIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT I MIGHT NOT BE REIMBURSED. AFTER REVIEW OF TITLE 49, I CALLED FCA RECALL ASSISTANCE BACK AND CONCEDED...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HORN STARTED BLOWING AND WOULD NOT STOP, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED WIPING AT HIGH SPEED, WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID WAS SQUIRTING OUT, AND WOULD NOT STOP. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ISSUES KEPT HAPPENING. THE GAUGES AND SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AT THIS TIME. LUCKILY I WAS PULLING IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE TRIED CLEANING THE WIRING CONNECTORS UNDER THE FRONT SEAT BUT THIS HAS HAD NO EFFECT ON THE LIGHT GOING ON OR OFF. THIS HAPPENS SOMETIMES AS IT IS SITTING STILL AS WELL AS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE FOUND THIS BEING AN ISSUE WHILE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE IN EVERY FORUM THAT I HAVE SEARCHED IN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY WHEN AND IF NEEDED. I HAVE KIDS THAT DRIVE AND RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE.

CLOCKSPRING FAILURE DISABLES HORN AND AIRBAGS

THE HORN WILL NOT WORK AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CHIMES OFF AND ON. AND NOW I HAVE INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE. I CAN DRIVE UP THE ROAD AND CUT IT OFFAND THEN GET BACK IN AND IT WON'T START. BUT WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND IT'LL START RIGHT UP

MY JEEP LOST ALL POWER AND BRAKES WHILE DRIVING. THE ABS AND BRAKE LINES ARE CHARRED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE FROM OVERHEATING AND THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS WAS DAMAGED AS WELL. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AND NATIONAL DODGE JACKSONVILLE NC AWAITING REPAIRS. MIKE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THE ABS OVERHEATED BUT NO FIRE BUT ANOTHER MECHANIC I HAD LOOK AT IT SAID THERE WAS A SMALL FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

DURING NORMAL STREET DRIVING THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS TURNING ON AND OFF FOR THE 5 MILE DRIVE HOME. TRIED TURNING CAR OFF AND ON, THE. TRIED PUSHING THE FUSES DOWN TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T THAT. ALSO RECENTLY REPLACED THE TIPM. SO FAR, I'M NOT LIKING THIS JEEP. A LOT OF PROBLEMS. *TR

JEEP OVERHEATED IN TRAFFIC. TURNS OUT COOLING FAN WAS NOT WORKING. ALL FUSES AND RELAYS WERE CHECKED. TURNS OUT IT WAS THE TIPM. YOU WOULD THINK BY NOW JEEP WOULD PAY FOR THIS FIX. ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS PART IS A NATION WIDE BACK ORDER. AND IT'S A $600 PART!

HEADLIGHTS BEGAN FLASHING, HORN HONKING, AND DOOR LOCKS WOULD NOT RESPOND. COULD NOT DISABLE HORN WITH KEY FOB AS USUAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS. THE JEEP DEALER SAYS THAT IT IS A FAULTY TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE)......UPDATED 11/13/15 *BF UPDATED 10/26/2017*CN

UPON STARTING VEHICLE, HORN SOUND CONSTANT, WIPERS TURN ON, WINDSHIELD SPRAYER SQUIRTS, BACK UP LIGHT TURN ON AND DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT ILLUMINATES. TURNED OFF IGNITION AND REMOVED KEY, DASHBOARD LOST POWER, BUT ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN, DISCONNECTED BATTERY AND APPROXIMATELY 90 SECONDS LATER, ENGINE QUITE RUNNING

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY THE HORN STARTED HONKING,WIPERS STARTED ON THEIR OWN AS WELL AS WIPER FLUID SQUIRTING , RADIO CAME ON AND LIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF. PULLED OVER AND EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND KEY REMOVED IGNITION THE CAR REMAINED RUNNING WITH ALL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT RUNNING OFF AND ON. IT SEEMS THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR JEEP/ CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I REPLACED THE BATTERY CABLES AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, IT WAS FINE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS THEN IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN UNTIL I REMOVED THE BATTERY CABLES. I REMOVED THE BATTERY CABLES TO THE CAR BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED THAT THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM MAY CAUSE A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD AND POSSIBLY BURN MY HOUSE DOWN. *TR

I PARKED MY JEEP IN MY DRIVE WAY AROUND 12 PM AFTER ON MONDAY, APRIL 6TH. AROUND 4 PM THE SAME DAY A FIRE, THAT APPEARED TO BE ELECTRICAL IN NATURE, STARTED IN THE DASH INSIDE THE FACTORY GPS/RADIO SYSTEM. THE KEY WAS NOT IN THE IGNITION. I WAS ALERTED BY MY NEIGHBOR THAT MY JEEPS EMERGENCY FLASHERS WERE ON AND IT WAS SMOKING. WE RUSHED TO THE JEEP, THE WINDOWS WERE ALL BURNT BLACK THE FIRE WAS JUST SMOLDERING BECAUSE THE DOORS AND WINDOWS WERE SHUT. MY DAD AND I QUICKLY GRABBED TWO FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND WHEN WE OPENED THE DOORS THE FIRE ENGULFED THE ENTIRE FRONT DASH. AFTER A FEW USES OF THE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WE MANAGED TO PUT THE FIRE OUT BEFORE TOO MUCH DAMAGE WAS DONE. THE ENTIRE FRONT DASH WAS MELTED AND THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. WE SUSPECT THE VEHICLE TO BE TOTALED BUT WE...

THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM OPERATES INTERMITTENTLY. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN TRACED TO THE SOLID STATE RELAY ON THE TIPM PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD. THE LOW BEAM USUALLY OPERATES AFTER HAVING THE SELECTOR SET TO HIGH BEAM FOR 20-30 MINUTES. THE ONLY REMEDY IS REPLACING THE TIPM AT SUBSTANTIAL COST FOR A RELATIVELY SIMPLE AND VERY IMPORTANT, SAFETY RELATED VEHICLE FUNCTION. REPLACEMENT TIPM UNITS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE, AND THERE IS NO TEMPORARY REPAIR POSSIBLE. THIS FAILURE EFFECTIVELY PRECLUDES LEGAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE COSTLY REPAIR CAN BE COMPLETED. *TR

MY JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X HAS STALLED 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND THE VEHICLE'S POWER GOES OUT FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE NO MORE THAN 2 SECONDS. THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS JEEP, BUT MOST HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE LIFETIME DRIVE-TRAIN WARRANTY. RE: QUESTION #2 I CAN NOT GIVE ANY DATES, SO I PUT TODAY'S DATE. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE AFOREMENTIONED PROBLEM 3X'S AS IT IS AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE. *TR

I STARTED MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X2 (MANUAL SHIFT) AND WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVE WAY (THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN GEAR) WHEN THE JEEP TURNED ITSELF OFF AND RESTARTED. AT THE TIME IT RESTARTED ITSELF, THE HORN BEGAN BLOWING NON-STOP, THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURNED ON, WASHER FLUID SPRAYED FROM THE REAR WIPERS, THE DASH LIGHTS TURNED ON, THE RADIO TURNED ON, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TURNED ON. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE HORN KEPT BLOWING, BOTH SETS OF WIPERS WERE ON, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAINED ON, THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING, THE DASH LIGHTS REMAINED LIT, AND THE RADIO WOULDN'T SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF, BUT NOTHING HELPED. THE HORN WAS BLOWING LIKE A DEMON. THE NEIGHBORS RACED OVER TO HELP ME. WE MANUALLY STALLED THE JEEP TO STOP THE...

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) FAILURE CAUSING EVERY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION - USUALLY AT THE SAME TIME. ALARM/HORN, WIPERS/WASHER, RADIO, GAUGES, ETC), TO WHICH REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION HAS NO EFFECT. ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REMOVE BATTERY CONNECTION ( AND APOLOGIZE TO THOSE AROUND YOU IN TRAFFIC FOR THE INCONVENIENT SHOW THE VEHICLE JUST PUT ON). MANUFACTURER RECALL OF TIPMS ONLY COVERED CERTAIN MANUFACTURE DATES, DESPITE THE PROBLEM NOT BEING LIMITED TO JUST THAT ONE GROUP OF VEHICLES. REPAIR (REPLACEMENT OF TIPM) IS > $1000. *TR

ON THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. *TR

WIPERS SUDDENLY START, SWAY BAR INDICATOR TURNS ON, HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF AND VEHICLE STALLS. TAKES UP TO 2 DAYS FOR VEHICLE TO RESTART. *DT

JEEP SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO OPERATE AND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SWITCH GEARS. THE CONTACT HAD TO ENGAGE THE MANUAL OVERDRIVE SWITCH IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE HORN STOPPED WORKING AND THEN A DAY LATER THE AIR BAG WARNINGLITE INDICATING MALFUNCTION CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN STAYED ON CHIMING FROM TIME TO TIME.IT GOES OFF AND THEN COMES BACK ON WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS MOVING AGAIN.IT SOMETIMES GOES OFF WHEN TURNING RIGHT.MY MECHANIC SAID THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT,IT IS THE CLOCKSCREW HE SAID NAD WHEN I LOOKED IT UP ,IT WAS THE EXACT DESCRIPTION.PITIFUL IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY,THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND JEEP SHOULD FIX IT IMMEDIATELY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP WRANGLER ON A PUBLIC ROAD, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTDOWN. THIS SHUTDOWN CAUSED THE POWER STEERING, BRAKES AND ELECTRICAL ASPECTS OF THE VEHICLE TO STOP FUNCTIONING. THIS IS NOW THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO "PARK" , I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUCCESS. THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP WITH NO INCIDENT. THERE ARE MANY DANGERS INVOLVED WITH A VEHICLE SUDDENLY "SHUTTING DOWN". MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER JEEP VEHICLE OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. *TR

I HAVE HAD 4 ELECTRICAL/ENGINE EVENTS WITH THE MOST RECENT OCCURRING IN JULY, 2014 AFTER PICKING UP MY KIDS FROM CAMP. AS I SLOWED DOWN FOR A LIGHT, ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON, THE RADIO WENT DEAD AND THE ENGINE CUT OUT. LUCKILY I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT, AND AS I WAS LOOKING AT THE DASH TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED, THE JEEP THEN TURNED BACK ON.PLEASE HELP. *TR

HORN STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY, CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE. I'VE TRACED IT TO A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. *TR NOT SAFE AND WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION!

WHEN DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 40 MPH THE JEEP'S DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE HORN STARTED BLOWING, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON, THE LOCKS WENT ON AND OFF AND THE CAR STALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, WHILE IDLING, AND DIFFERENT WEATHER CONDITIONS. *TR
