2007 Jeep Wrangler engine and engine cooling problems

“AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH MY VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE STEERING WHEEL, ENGINE, ENTIRE JEEP AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO CONTROL OR STEER THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES SINCE JUNE 2014. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AND IS TERRIFYING! *TR”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SUDDENLY STALLED WARNING. THE FAILURE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED AND THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 53,000.”

“THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER STALLED, LOST POWER BRAKES, LOST POWER STEERING. TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT TURN OVER. WE NOTICED FLAMES SHOOTING UP OUTSIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALL 4 OF US CLIMBED OUT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I TRIED TO OPEN THE HOOD AND FLAMES CAME BURSTING OUT. WITHIN 2 MINUTES THE WHOLE VEHICLE ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FLAMES WERE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE. IT TOOK THE FIRE DEPARTMENT NEARLY 2 HOURS TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR”

“AFTER DRIVING MY 07 WRANGLER HOME FROM WORK, APPROXIMATELY 35 MINUTES, I PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY AND THE UNDER PART OF MY JEEP CAUGHT ON FIRE AND THEN THE JEEP EXPLODED, CATCHING MY HOUSE ON FIRE. MY DRIVEWAY IS ON AN DOWNWARD INCLINE. *TR”

“MY ISSUE IS THE LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL USED, 1 QT USED PER 2500 MILES. THIS IS WHAT THE DEALERSHIP AND JEEP TOLD ME. NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION: BELOW ARE INDUSTRY STANDARDS FOR NORMAL ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION: MILEAGE BELOW 50,000: NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION IS ONE QUART FOR EACH 1,000 MILES DRIVEN. MILEAGE ABOVE 50,000: NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION IS ONE QUART FOR EACH 750 MILES DRIVEN. SO, AS LONG AS A JEEP WITH 50000 OR MORE MILES ON IT DOES NOT USE MORE THAN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750 MILES THEY DO NOT CARE, AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT WHY NEW JEEPS TAKE 6 QT'S SINCE THEY USE SO MUCH OIL. I EVEN HAVE A WARRANTY AND THEY STILL WILL NOT FIX IT. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS AND I HAVE HAD 2 OIL CONSUMPTION TEST RAN ON THE VEHICLE BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I AM LUCKY IT DOES NOT USE A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES, SINCE IT MAY GET LOW ENOUGH TO BURN THE ENGINE UP IN UNDER 2500 MILES. *KB”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE AND CONSUMED OIL PREMATURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE POLLUTION CONTROL VALVE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE HEAD GASKET FAILED AND THE SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 02/14/12*LJ UPDATED 02/17/12”
