2007 Jeep Wrangler X review from North America
"Chrysler is ruining the Jeep!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two intermediate steering shafts went bad below 4,000 miles.
Cam Shaft sensor went out at 2,000 miles.
Front driver's side rotor came apart at 3,200 miles.
Soft top leaked in three areas along the stitch seams.
Recalled for stalling issue.
Dash board easily scratched by just wiping it off with a soft cloth.
General comments?
I was totally in love with this Jeep when I bought it.
However, within the first 1,000 miles I grew to hate it.
Several trips to the dealership for repairs and spending countless hours at the dealer were enough for me.
I've owned several Chrysler vehicles that all had many issues. After this I vow to never buy another Chrysler product until quality improves.
Had shuttering issues at speeds around 35-40mph (possible torque converter issue)
The only great thing about the Jeep was the nice factory stereo with subwoofer.
Interior is terrible, cheap plastic that scratches way too easily.
I do have to say that the 3.8L is quite peppy when paired with the factory 4.10 gears.
Soft top is total junk, three leaks within the first three months of ownership.
Seats were not too horrible other than wearing quickly where the stitching comes together (fraying).
I've owned Jeeps over the years and this JK is by far the worst in quality out of all of them.
