2004 Jeep Wrangler

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING UNITS FAILED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DEFROST THE WINDOWS DURING THE WINTER MONTHS DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER FOUND THAT THERE WERE MELTED WIRES THAT CAUSED THE BLOWER MOTOR TO FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

FAILURE TO SHIFT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO 1ST, 3RD, AND 4TH GEARS. ONLY STAYS IN 2ND GEAR OR REVERSE. WAS TOLD BY A DEALER THAT THE PCM WAS CAUSING THE MALFUNCTION. REPLACED THE PCM AND THE TCM ALSO BLEW OUT. THERE ARE ONLY 48000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND IS TAKEN CARE OF WELL. THERE SHOULDN'T BE ALL THE COMPUTERS GOING OUT ALL AT ONCE. NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO ASSIST FROM CHRYSLER. UNFORTUNATE, SINCE THIS IS MY THIRD WRANGLER AND I HAVEN'T EVER HAD THIS MANY ISSUES WITH ANY VEHICLE EVER. WAS A DIE-HARD FAN AND STOOD BY JEEP PRODUCTS. NOW I WILL MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS NOT TO PURCHASE THESE FAULTY VEHICLES. HOPEFULLY AFTER $1050 IN REPAIRS THIS RESOLVES THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES....BUT SOMEHOW WON'T COUNT ON IT!!! BOOOOO TO JEEP! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. *TR

JEEP WRANGLER (2004) HAS THE STEERING SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVEN OVER 45MPH. NO DEALERSHIP OR GARAGE COULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I SPENT OVER $2000 IN NEW TIRES ALL NEW STEERING COMPONENTS AND SUSPENSION AS WELL AS WHEELS TO FIX A PROBLEM THE COMPANY REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE EXISTS SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THEIR UNIONS REDICULIOS COMMANDS WHILE PUTTING ME AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK. *TT

HAVE A JEEP 2004 WRANGLER. AT 60 MPH. IT BEGINS TO WOBBLE VERY BADLY! HAVE PURCHASED NEW TIRES,BALANCING,FRONT STABILIZING BAR,NEW BRAKES & ROTORS,ALIGNMENT. STILL WOBBLES! MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM & JEEP DEALERS CANNOT COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO STOP THIS! IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME I HIT 60MPH! VERY SCARY!!!!! ALMOST FLIPPED ME OFF THE ROAD COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAINS! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING OVER 55 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,500.

2004 JEEP WRANGLER "DEATH WOBBLE" . OCCURS AT 45-55MPH. WHEEL BALANCE, TIRE ROTATION, STEERING STABILIZER/DAMPER-ALL REPAIRED, ADJUSTED OR REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAS 75,000 MILES AND BEGAN AROUND 45,000 MILES AND IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY JEEP! THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO WOBBLE AT AROUND 45PMH WHEN IT STRIKES A SLIGHT BUMP IN THE ROAD OR SOMETIMES WHEN NO PERCEIVED BUMP IN THE ROAD. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! *KB

VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING LOCALLY. STEERING AND BRAKING BECAME DIFFICULT. COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS AT HIGHER SPEED. DIAGNOSIS BY A LOCAL MECHANIC (SUPERIOR COLLISION & AUTO SERVICE, GARDNERVILLE, NV 775-782-2966) WAS AN INTERNAL SHORT IN THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WHICH CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO STOP OPERATING AND THE ENGINE TO QUIT. THE FUEL PUMP MODULE IS LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK, IN THE DIRECT PRESENCE OF GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPOR. UPON EXAMINING THE FUEL PUMP MODULE THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE WIRING LEADS TO THE PUMP UNIT HAD SHORTED AGAINST THE MODULE'S ALUMINUM HOUSING DUE TO CHAFING OF THE WIRING INSULATION ON THE EDGE OF THE HOUSING. THEY AND I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS SHORT HAD CAUSED A SPARK IT COULD HAVE IGNITED THE FUEL IN THE TANK, CAUSING AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND THIS PART HAD NEVER BEEN SERVICED OR REPLACED. IT WAS AS INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. TO CORRECT THIS THE MECHANIC INSTALLED A NEW FUEL PUMP MODULE. HE SAID THE WIRING ON THE REPLACEMENT MODULE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN ROUTED MORE CAREFULLY TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE THE FAULTY MODULE IN MY POSSESSION. *TR

SEVERE SHAKING (COINED DEATH WOBBLE) AT 55 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED (3) TIMES. I HAVE REPLACED STEERING DAMPENER, FRONT END ALIGNMENT, (4) NEW TIRES ALL WITHIN LAST WEEK. THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, YET NO RESOLUTION TO BE FOUND. THERE SEEMS TO BE WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS A "HEAD IN SAND" MENTALITY HOPING THAT THIS WILL GO AWAY. I'M SHOCKED, AFTER THE EXPERIENCE OF TRYING TO GET VEH OFF OF HIGHWAY DURING THIS EVENT, THAT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY FATALITIES.
