My name is [xxx]. I run a repair shop called glen allen service center. We have had 3 jeep wranglers (2007, 2007, and 2008) that have needed brake hose replacement in the last 4 months. The first one we noticed the hose was swollen where a rubber cover is made over the steel line crimp at the frame and the brake caliper. We advised the customer to replace it which he did. The other two were towed in with complete brake system failure (brake pedal to the floor). Chrysler has redesigned the hoses but there has been no recall issued. Both chrysler dealers parts departments I deal with seem to not know about this. There should be a recall ordered as this is a serious safety issue. You can reach me at [xxx] if you have any questions. Thank you for your time. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Parking brake failure has occurred numerous times. Brakes will not stay adjusted. I've adjusted it at least a dozen times.

This has occurred while driving and while keys were not even in the ignition. I was driving down the road and the horn started honking, wipers went off and windshield fluid started spraying every where. It has done it several times. It has also done this just when opening the doors and no keys in the ignition. It blinks through the gears on the transmission and has locked up the traction control. I have had it in to the dealership several times and it is just now possibly diagnosed with tipm. Im part of a jeep club in which we have an online forum and this in not just happening to my jeep its happening to many jeeps and I feel its a major safety concern. Chrysler has paid for several of the jeeps on the forum, so far they haven't paid for mine but I think this issue really needs to be addressed.

I bought a used 2007 jeep wrangler 4-door sahara in march of 2012. About 30 days after the purchase (which is when dealer warranty expired) the vehicle's brakes starting squeaking. I took it to the dealership and they said it was because the brakes were dirty. They "cleaned" the brakes and sent me on my way. The next day the brakes started squeaking again every time I brake. I took it back and they said there was nothing they could do because the brakes were brand new. At this time, the front passenger door also stopped locking correctly. The warranty I had purchased for $2,000 did not cover electronics! A couple months go by and I experienced the popular death wobble after getting an oil change and tire rotation. It turns out the rear trackbar bracket was cracked and eventually completely broke in half. I bought a heavy duty adjustable rear trackbar and had a new bracket welded on which seemed to fix the problem for a few days. Then the death wobble started again. I then took the jeep to get the tires rotated and balanced and the death wobble started at just 30mph as we were leaving the shop. I took it back and they were dumbfounded as to what the problem was. So they placed the tires back where they were when I took it in and it stopped for a couple more days. Since then I have replaced the front trackbar, steering stabilizer, and shocks, which all seemed to have put it at bay. However, now I have $340-a-piece tires that have been worn out and I have been told I cannot get the alignment fixed until I replace the front ball joints! I paid about $30,000 for this vehicle out of the dealership and have had to put in around $2500 in repairs and upgrades due to poor craftsmanship of this vehicle. On top of that I cannot even drive it with my family for fear of our safety. I have seen many online forums with people having the same exact problem. The dealership won't help me. The manufacturer won't help. Something must be done before a serious injury or death occurs.

While driving my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara on the i35 north at approximately 70 MPH, a slight bump caused a violent shaking of the tires and suspension system. The vehicle was nearly impossible to control, the steering wheel nearly shook out of my grasp. Braking compounded the issue. I was able to veer the vehicle to the shoulder on the road, where a lower speed allowed the vehicle to recover. The same thing occurred nearly 1 hour later as I returned home. This situation is not isolated to me or my vehicle, it has been coined as the "jeep death wobble" by hundreds of people online.

Inspection mechanic informed that at 48,000 miles the rear rotors are worn out. I cannot find any after market rotors only mopar. The front rotors are good and this just should not be. The front rotors should wear out first since the front should be doing most of the stopping at like 60 to 70 percent.
