2007 Jeep Wrangler electrical system problems

“The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while depressing the brake pedal and making a quick turn, the traction control warning light intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the braking system was replaced. Additionally, the air bag warning light was intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The contact was informed that the vehicle was previously repaired under recalls associated with the failures. The contact stated that the recall repairs failed to fix the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 138,000.”

“Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 143,000; however, Carfax reported the mileage as 168,000 in 2022.”

“The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while attempting to start the vehicle, an abnormal clicking sound was heard coming from under the hood.

The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 139,500.”

“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.

The dealership confirmed the recall had been previously completed but refused to diagnose or repair the vehicle, stating in writing: “Due to company policy, we are unable to perform diagnostic or repair services on vehicles that are more…”

“TIPM failure. Recall 07V291000 My vehicle (2007 Jeep Wrangler) is not included in the recall, although it was recalled for this model.

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.” — ️ Suggests deeper integration issues between the engine and vehicle electronics.
