What 2007 Jeep Wrangler X RHD owners say
Engine & cooling
In feb 2015 my 07 Jeep Wrangler started making odd noises and running poorly than is stopped. My Jeep had 69,500 miles on it and a service was done within 1,500 miles. It was towed to the service center- it did not have a drop of oil in it and the engine was blown. There was no indication of a oil leak anywhere! No warning lights came on either. Jeep refused to even listen or assist in any way. $6K later...... I have a new engine and check it every week! Now when I park and get back in the Jeep it wont start- wont even turn over. It will finally start after 4-5 turns of the key. Its not heat, not distance, nothing being left on, not consistent- there is no rhyme or reason at all!! A man in a gas station heard me trying to start the Jeep and came over and shared this- push on the shifter really hard and it will start- it did and has every time now. …
There was not a fire but thought there was and 911 was called. I had the oil changed in March and again in July. In septermber there was a clicking noise coming from the engine and I pulled into a drive way and shut off the engine. I asked someone to look at it and when they tried to start the engine smoke came out of the vents and engine would not turn over. Turns out, that the Jeep had no oil in it and the engine burned up. The repair for a new engine is $5200. There were no warning lights at all. No "change oil notice", "low oil pressure" light, "overtemp" light, or "check engine" light. Had there been some kind of warning light before I ruined the engine it would not be so costly.
Fuel & propulsion system
I took my Jeep to the dealership to take a look at gas tank sensor, I heard that was a recall, everytime I fill my tank, the gas nozzle doesn't stop and you see gas spilling all over. The dealership said he fixes as its shown on their dignose. Haven't drove since then, today I drove it and it had 1/4 gas in the tank, I stopped by the gastation to fill up the tank, found out that it doesn't allow any more gas in the tank and gas spilling all over again, the gas gauge is working along with fuel warning signal, its so weird and unsafe.
While trying to put gas into my 2007 Jeep jk Wrangler unlimited, fuel started to pour out the underside. I took my vehicle to the mechanic and they informed me that a large crack was on the filler neck that is attached to the fuel tank. They also informed me that due to the discoloration of the plastic inlet it has been leaking for a while. Upon removing the tank, they also discovered that the spring inside the nozzle is highly defective. Apparently, the spring is supposed to push back once the fuel tank is full. As a Jeep owner for years I?m extremely angry that an inexpensive part made poorly could of cost the life of my family, friends and anything within range if a fire erupted. Chrysler should recall these defective tanks immediately. I can provide photos of the filler neck and nozzle.
