2005 JEEP WRANGLER — Complaint #636794
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SUSPENSION:MULTIPLE AXLE:TORQUE ARM filed August 31, 2007
NHTSA complaint #636794 (ODI reference 10201343) concerns a 2005 JEEP WRANGLER and was filed on August 31, 2007. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 30, 2007. The vehicle had 37,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Pennsylvania based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as suspension:multiple axle:torque arm, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same JEEP WRANGLER cohort independently describe similar suspension:multiple axle:torque arm failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2005 JEEP WRANGLER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
