Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK
The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited was originally launched in 2004. It started out as a two-door Jeep with a wheelbase 10 inches longer than a typical Wrangler. The original two-door Unlimited was dubbed the "LJ." In 2007, Jeep revised the Unlimited and turned it into a four-door. This 4-door Jeep was dubbed the "JK." The longer wheelbase on the Jeep Unlimited provides more room for your passengers/cargo and a smoother ride (when compared to the shorter Wranglers).

Fading bumper |
| Date: Feb 18, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Miami, Florida) | |
| Vehicle: 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK | |
|
Summary: I purchased my Jeep in March 2009. I had the same shaking problem and had to have the steering damper changed. Also my front bumper is fading. The dealership I purchased it from had their dealership franchise closed down by chrysler. So I have to take it to another dealership. They told me is was because of the weather and I would have to buy another bumper. I told them a bumper should last for more than a year. They told me tough luck. I called Chrysler and they told me there was nothing they could do, it was up to the dealer. I will never buy a chrysler product again. Strengths: Piece of Junk Weaknesses: They whole car |

Everyone's problems |

Summary: Ok everybody, for all the vibration, it is the steering dampner, take you jeep to the dealership, it takes them 10 minutes to change it out, they should do it for free and they should have better steering dampner to put on. Thats what i did at 3 thousand miles. Tell them to f off if they tell you it is fine change it now. For the people with the four door jeep when they first came out, what do you exspect, jeep has always done 2 door, when they made it bigger, that just messes everything else up, never by the new model of a car for atleast for a year or two after it comes out so they can fix all the problems. Jeeps are not supposed to be 4 door. hopefully this helps out. peace Strengths: great jeep, ride is excellent, plenty of room and i am a big guy. Weaknesses: stearing dampner. thats it, its cheap and easy to fix and it should be free. |

2009 Jeep Wrangler Steering Damper |
| Date: Jan 24, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (White Heath, Illinois) | |
| Vehicle: 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK | |
|
Summary: Jeep has only 12,000 miles and replaced the steering damper. Thought I had a flat tire at first. Going 65 hit a bump it started jumping and would not stop till I went to a complete stop(which is hard to do in chicago traffic. Had steering damper replaced and two days later it did it again other then applying the brake and slowing down this time it stopped jumping without having to pull over. Talked to dealer and he thought I should have a more heavy duty steering damper put in. I don't think so its still under warranty. Strengths: Love the looks of it. Weaknesses: Steering damper |

'07 4 door w/ less than 20K miles |
| Date: Dec 21, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Denver, CO) | |
| Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK | |
|
Summary: I just traded in my 2 door '02 Sahara for this Unlimited X 4 door. My wife keeps popping out kids so I needed a larger vehicle and I have always been a Wrangler man. That being said, I have the Death Wobble action whenever I hit a bump doing above 55 mph. I took it in (it is still under factory warranty) and they immediately said that it is the steering dampner. What threw me is how fast they diagnosed it. They told me it was rode worthy and sent me on my way. I go in on Wednesday (day after tomorrow) for it to be replaced. Other than the above, I love the room of the 4 door, I love the smoothness of the ride vs. the 2 door, the 6 speed took a bit getting use to, but I do like that feature too. I ski a lot, so I now have plenty of room for taking guests up with me and I look forward to our next snow storm to try out the 4 wheel low. Strengths: Room (lots of it!), it's a Wrangler, 6 speed, picks-up a lot better than the 2 door, very comfortable interior, quite Weaknesses: The Death Wobble (not entirely sure why w/ less than 20K miles on it) |

Summary: Great jeep with no problems. Hard to figure what happened with these others. Stands to reason statistically that if you build enough of anything that you will have some sub-standard product. 6 defects per 1,000,000 is world class quality. Strengths: off road capability and on road manners awesome sound system Weaknesses: does not ride like a lexus, but who cares |

Steering damper |
| Date: Nov 11, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Ashtabula, OH) | |
| Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK | |
|
Summary: I was having the same stuttering problems as others, every time I hit a bump the steering wheel would shake and vibrate violently. I called the dealership and took it right in, they immediately knew that the problem was the steering damper. They said that the vehicle was not road worthy but still wanted to send me home with it but to "drive slowly" after they informed me this can happen so severely that you can lose control of the vehicle. I persuaded them to give me a loaner, which thankfully they did. I also had a strange experience with the horn beeping. Both key fobs were in my possession at the time so i know no one was playing a prank on me. We opened the hood and check for loose connections, but all was ok. The beeping was random, not like the alarm was going off.. it stopped as suddenly as it started.. any ideas? Strengths: FUN!FUN!FUN! Weaknesses: only two years old and having mechanical issues..... :( |

Vibration and stuttering |
| Date: Nov 04, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Lebanon, PA) | |
| Vehicle: 2009 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK | |
|
Summary: I purchased my 09 unlimited in mid July. Just over 4,000 miles i started to experience a stuttering, idiling, not really sure what to call it when I am at a red light or just stop with the jeep running. This happens throughout the entire driving time from the moment I start it to the moment I turn it off. I also have an annoying vibration, it almost feels like I am going over rumble strips, while I am driving. I can feel it through the steering wheel and the floor. My blower fan went out the same week these problems started and the check engine light came on 2 times the first week I bought it. The dealership has done nothing the last 4 times I have had it in there for these problems and say that everything is fine. I took it to my own mechanic who drove it for an entire week and he felt everything that I feel and says there is definitely something wrong with it. The dealership told me it was bad gas the first time I had it in, the following three times they either said they could no duplicate what I was describing or they felt it and it was fine. I cant even stand to drive it anymore!!!!!!!!Anyone else had any similar issues with this model?? Strengths: its a jeep!!! Weaknesses: Problems that I am having right now. You dont buy a jeep for a "luxury vehicle" but its not supposed to be a dump truck either! |

Brakes and steering damper |
| Date: Apr 10, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Indiana) | |
| Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK | |
|
Summary: I will never own another jeep or Chrysler ever again had this jeep in the shop several times for the brakes and the last time it was in the shop 4 times for the front end shaking every time i hit a bump. Finally they found out what was wrong with it after they had to take it to another town and still no recall notice on it it was the damper in steering. I recked the jeep and chrysler said that it was not the problem and no i have to get the body fixed. If you ask me i have a lemon. Strengths: n/a Weaknesses: n/a |

Anyone else have these problems? |
| Date: Oct 29, 2008 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Reno, NV) | |
| Vehicle: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK | |
|
Summary: I bought the first year of the 4 door with the 3.8 mated to a 6 speed trans. So far, the trans went out and the dealership replaced all the syncros in it. The second time the trans went out, they completely replaced it. The vehicles thrown two P0300 codes with the dealership not finding anything concrete. Two days after the 2nd code, the pressure plate went out, so out came the tranny again. While in the dealership for this episode, they discovered the left rear axle seal leaking quite a bit so it got fixed. A week or two later, it went back to the dealer for oil running down the front of the engine. It was discovered that the intake manifold was leaking so they had to repair it. The vehicle has yet to see 26K miles on it and is my wifes (who is not a 4 wheeler by any means). This is our 4th jeep and the only one that's been a lemon. We still have our 92 cherokee which has 177K on it and still on its original clutch. When the warranty runs out on this new one, its definitely trade in time on something, anything but another Chrysler product. Just wondering if anyone out there has had as much of an experience with this new style of jeep as my wife and I've had? (or would like to buy this one?) Strengths: So far, the radio still works and the spare tire is holding air. Weaknesses: I'd have to say the engine, transmission, electrical system and rear differential have all had their moments. Thank goodness none of these are critical components for making the vehicle actually run...... |
