2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4x4 body problems

The 'heat barrier/ sound barrier' causing on the jeeps floorboards captures water which then completely rusts out the floor board. I thought it was just a freak deal with mine, but upon research and talking to others who own wrangle, I found this was pretty common. I also can feel the drivers floor getting very hot as there is now almost nothing between my feet and the aluminum heat shielding for the exhaust that runs just under the drivers side.

While driving the car the oil light came on but went off. I was on a narrow road and was about to pull off then lights started to flash and the clutch would not work I stopped and turned the car off but it would not stop. Then I tried to get out and the doors all locked on me.I got out and noticed what I first thought was a boiling radiator but when I went to lift the bonnet the car caught fire. It was gone in a matter of minutes. Jeep australia denied any cars had caught fire here and would not allow us to have forensics investigate. At 35,000 the clutch also had to be replaced which jeep also said was because I did not know how to drive a manual I had been driving for 17 years. I know there have been other cars here in australia with the same problems I have had

Dealer stated twice during warranty period issue that rusting is cosmetic, and not covered under warranty. Working with chrysler (800.763.8422) with a pending case. The issue seems to be a overwhelming problem.

When driving my 2007 4-door jeep wrangler on the interstate 4 weeks ago I noticed that when I hit a hole in the road or a bump the entire vehicle shook, causing the steering wheel to shake back and forth causing me to almost skip lanes and almost hit a semi truck in the next lane. The next day I called the dealership that I purchased this vehicle from used about 5 months ago (10,000 miles ago). I have made 3 trips to the dealership in the past 4 weeks and the shaking has become worse. The last 2 days while driving to and from work, I literally thought that the right front tire was going to come off or that the frame was going to brake! I pulled off of the interstate many times on my 30 mile trip and didn't drive over 40mph. I asked the mechanic at the dealership to drive the jeep with me on the interstate today. He said that he has no idea what is wrong but it felt like the entire frame is violently shaking. I feel very unsafe driving this vehicle as I am unable to control it when this occurs. I should mention 2 more things...1. This only occurs when one side of the vehicle hits a bump, not when both tires hit at the same time, like hitting a pot hole with left tire. 2. Many owners of this exact make and model are having the same issue. I have been looking on-line and there are multiple site with hundreds of people who, despite spending a lot of money replacing part after part continue to have this safety issue. I have received a recall notice about the lack of temperature control of the cooling system but chrysler has not addressed this problem and they should. Someone is going to die from this design flaw and it must be addressed soon. I don't know what to do. I have to travel the interstate to get to work.

I drive a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited and everytime I try to fill my gas tank the pump at various gas stations never shuts off and causes lot of gas spilling out of the fuel tank eroding the paint on my car and causing greater expense in fuel. This has been an on going problem that has been happening for about one year.

On thurs june 25 at apx 1800 hrs both halves of the freedom top on my 2007 jeep wrangler flew off the car at 55 MPH. The fiberglass failed and the tops tore away from the metal latches. I got fiberglass in my eyes and hurt my neck in the process. The tops were firmly secured and had not been off the car in at least six weeks. During those six weeks I had driven in excess of 55 MPH with out a problem had anyone been driving behind me the certainly could have been injured or killed. I retrieved the tops from the hwy and have them as evidence I contacted chrysler and they refuse to acknowledge the problem or take any kind of corrective action the car has 40,000 mi on it. My insurance co says I am not covered for the damage. I have pictures of the damaged tops any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I bought a new 2007 jeep wrangler and have been having what the industry calls the "death wobble" since the vehicle was new and it is now in for the 4th repair attempt and dealership is telling me that there is nothing they can do to fix it and that they can't replicate the problem this time, although they have now repaired it 3 times now over the last 2 years and were able to replicate the problem each of the other times. Now my new vehicle warranty is within 200 miles of expiring now and I have a broken car that is in no way safe to drive. I will be driving to the mountains to ski this weekend in a snow storm so it should be scary as this is my only car. A simple search for my model year jeep online and death wobble will return an unlimited amount of information. Obviously I am not the only consumer with this complaint. Can you please advise whom I should contact to address this matter? I don't want to die or kill anyone. The "death wobble" occurs when I encounter a bump in the road at speeds over ~40mph and must be slowed to a near stop to make it quit. I can't seem to get anyone at chrysler to help me and the dealers can't fix it, what do I do?
