21.5% of complaints about the 2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4X2 came in its first year of service — a higher share than 96% of the 268 2007 model-years on record. That points to problems present from new rather than wear. The most-reported system is steering (17 complaints), typically at 4.4 yr or about 54,000 miles.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT 55 MPH,WENT THROUGH A SERIES OF BUMPS ON THE ROAD WHICH BEGAN UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION OR WOBBLING, AND VIOLENT SHAKING, IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND FRONT END. FRONT END AND TIRES APPEARED TO BE MOVING LEFT TO RIGHT IN THE UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE. THIS HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS AFTER HITTING BUMPS ON A HIGHWAY AND COMPONENTS ON THE FRONT END APPEAR TO BE VISUALLY INTACT. THIS VEHICLE IS A WRANGLER X UNLIMITED 4 X 2 - 4 DOOR. ALL 4 INCIDENCES TOOK PLACE WITHIN 50 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. *AK

WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN 50 AND 65 MPH AND HITTING A SLIGHT BUMP OR DIVET IN THE ROAD JEEP WRANGLER JK BEGINS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I AM FORCED TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER AND BRING IT UNDER 30MPH. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY OTHER DAY, BUT OCCURRED FOUR TIMES TODAY ALONE. AT THE PRESENT TIME I HAVE HAD IT TO THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS WHERE THE ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOUR TIMES, THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND ROTATED BACK, A NEW STEERING STABILIZER HAS BEEN INSTALLED ALONG WITH A NEW BUSHING, NEW TRACK BAR AND NEW BALL JOINT. *TR
