What owners wrote

The steering is defective it allows the vehicle to violently shake and you lose control. I almost ran into a concrete wall along the interstate. I was accelerating up an entrance ramp and the vehicle began shaking so violently the hood was separating from the body I estimate at least 6" off side to side shake. I could not steer, just try to hold the steering wheel straight and allow the vehicle to slow down. The ball joints, tie rod joints, and track bar must be replaced.

Just as all the other 2007 jeep wranglers my clockspring has gone bad and my airbags and horn malfunction constantly. I filed a reports years ago but that seems to have been removed. I see that the 2008 jeep wranglers had this recalled, but 2007 jeeps were not good enough. Guess our lives and the lives of our families don't mean squat.
