2007 JEEP WRANGLER, WIPERS FAIL OR ONLY OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY DURING MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED OCCASIONALLY OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 WRANGLER JK FROM HERTERICH FOOD/JEEP IN DOVER , DE . IT WAS BRAND NEW, AND A FEW DAYS AFTER BUYING IT, IT HAD RAINED AND MY SOFT TOP LEAKED FROM THE FORWARD LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES OF THE SOFT TOP RIGHT AT THE CORNERS OF WHERE IT MEETS THE WINDSHIELD. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED TWICE AND STILL THE SAME RESULT. IT ALWAYS LEAKS REGARDLESS OF WHAT RAIN CONDITION. NOTE THIS WAS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT I BOUGHT. AND IF IT CONTINUES IT IM AFRAID IT WILL CAUSE WATER DAMAGE THAT IS IRREVERSIBLE TO MY INTERIOR. *TR

SUNDAY APRIL 4TH, 2009 THE TEMPERATURE WAS A HIGH OF 73 AND ON APRIL 5TH, 2009 THE HIGH WAS 49. I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA WITH APPROX. 27K MILES. AFTER OUT RUNNING ERRANDS AND USING THE DEFROST,I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF THE WIND SHIELD. WHEN I NOTICED THE CRACK IT WAS APPROX. 3 " LONG, AND RAN FROM BOTTOM TO TOP, SINCE THEN IT HAS BEGUN TO CURVE TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE BY ABOUT 1". I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO DEALERS AND BOTH HAVE DISMISSED IT HAS A ROCK CHIP. ONE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT EVEN THE SMALLEST ROCK CHIP IS ENOUGH TO CRACK THE WINDSHIELD. HE TRACED THE CRACK WITH A WRITING PEN AND DETERMINED IT WAS NOT A STRESS ISSUE BUT A "ROCK HIT". THE OTHER SERVICE MANAGER RUBBED HER FINGER OVER THE CRACK AND DETERMINED IT TO BE A "ROCK HIT", BOTH SERVICE MANAGERS DID STATE THAT THE "ROCK HIT" COULD HAVE BEEN ALREADY PRESENT AND THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE CHANGE COULD HAVE CAUSED THE CRACK. ONE SERVICE MANAGER DID SAY THAT IF THE "ROCK HIT" WAS NOT PRESENT HE COULD FIX IT UNDER THE CURRENT WARRANTY. I CAME HOME A DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2007 JEEP AND IT'S WINDSHIELD. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND CHRYSLER NEVER INVESTIGATED HIS PROBLEM. *KB THE SAFETY ISSUE PERTAINING TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPER DESIGN, ALLOWS WATER INTO A METAL BOX AREA WHICH BECOMES FROZEN AND PREVENTS THE WIPER SYSTEM FROM FUNCTIONING IN COLD INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS. *JB

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
