2007 Jeep Wrangler 2-Dr 4x4 complaints

ON FEB 5TH, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH AND MY CAR DIED - DASH LIGHTS WENT ON, CAR JERKED TO A VIOLENT SLOW DOWN AND I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A SEMI ON MY LEFT, THE CAR PULLED TO THE LEFT. ALL RESUMED TO NORMAL AFTER ABOUT 4 SECONDS. I HAVE FILED PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, CONF NBR 10188682. THIS IS THE 4TH INCIDENT BUT WHAT IS MOST SHOCKING IS THAT THE FIRST 2 TIMES I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP REPAID SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ERROR AND THAT THEY AND CHRYSLER CORP DIDN'T HAVE RECORD OF ANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM. ON THE 2ND VISIT, I ADVISED THE SERVICE PERSON THAT HE SHOULD LOOK AT THIS WEB SITE IF HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. ON THE 3RD INCIDENT, WHEN I GOT HOME, THERE WAS A RECALL "SAFETY RECALL G25-PROGRAM TIPM-ENGINE STALLING- SO I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER, AGAIN, ADVISED THAT CAR STALLED AGAIN AND THAT I ALSO RECEIVED RECALL AND SCHEDULED THE SERVICE - AUG 2007. AFTER THIS VISIT I FELT MORE SECURE TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE AT LEAST CHRYSLER HAD ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. THE ON FEB 5TH 2008 AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CONTINUED TO WORK AND AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START, ALL LIGHTS/RADIO ETC CAME ON BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN OVER. I HAD IT TOWED TO JEEP. I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE PERSON, AFTER THE CAR WAS INSPECTED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE - SAME ITEM THAT CAUSED PREVIOUS PROBLEMS, HAD TO BE REPLACED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW, SO THAT

MY CAR WAS PARKED ON AN INCLINE OF ABOUT 20 DEGREES AND I HAD 1/4 TANK OF GAS. WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, BUT THE ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER. MY RADIO AND LIGHTS WORKED FINE. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED IN A YEAR AND 2 MONTHS. THE TWO PRIOR TIMES, I COASTED DOWN TO A FLAT AREA AND THE CAR STARTED. TONIGHT IT DIDN'T. I THINK THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM OR FUEL PUMP. THE THREE TIMES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED I HAVE HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS OR LESS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65 MPH AND THE CAR STALLED. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP AND THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL AND ABOUT 4 SECONDS LATER THE CAR REGAINED ITS POWER. THIS HAPPENED 2/1/08 WITH 11,500 MILES. THIS ALSO OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND MAY 2007 WITH AROUND 2,500 MILES. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X, THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE STOCK STEEL 16" RIMS. THESE RIMS HAVE A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW THEY ARE MADE WITH A DEEP CAVITY AND OR TRENCH BEHIND THE SPOKES, SNOW, ICE ETC. SETTLE IN THIS CAVITY MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO CHIP OR REMOVE THE ICE. AS YOU DRIVE ON SNOWY ROADS THE TIRES THROW SNOW, ICE ETC.. INTO THIS TRENCH. WHILE CENTRIFUGAL FORCE HOLD THE SUBSTANCE IN PLACE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE WHEELS ARE OUT OF EXTREME BALANCE SHAKING THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. I CONTACTED JEEP ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, HOPEFULLY YOU CAN. THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THIS TYPE OF RIM AND HOPEFULLY THE LAST. *TR

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED FULL SHUTDOWN AGAIN, THIS TIME ON THE INTERSTATE AT INTERSTATE SPEED. THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY BUILD DATE AND THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE VEHICLE TURNING ITSELF OFF, AND THEN BACK ON A FEW SECONDS LATER. THE ONES THAT WERE COVERED BY THE RECALL, SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE STILL. ALL THE DEALER CAN DO IS DOCUMENT THAT I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AND THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS LIKELY TO GET SOMEONE KILLED!*CN

STALLS OUT, DIFFERENT TIMES. INSTRUMENT LIGHTS COME ON, LOSE POWER FOR ABOUT 5 SEC THEN REGAIN POWER. HAD SOFTWARE FIX, STILL HAS PROBLEM, THIS PROBLEM COULD KILL SOMEONE.*CN

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY AT 60MPH MY RADIO DIED FOR 3-5 SECONDS AND AFTER IT CAME BACK ON MY WHOLE ENGINE/ CAR DIED AND THE DASH LIGHTS LIT UP. WHEN I PUSHED THE CLUTCH IN AND RELEASED IT THE CAR CAME BACK ON. *TR

MY CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF PORT JEFF JEEP 6 TIMES. IT GOES IN WITH PROBLEMS, THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, AND I GET IT BACK WITH PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION. IT STALLS, THE ESP DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK, SOMETIMES GOES ON FOR NO REASON, THE ALARM DOESN'T WORK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET CLOSE TO MY HOME ON A VERY SLIGHT INCLINE AND MY RADIO SHUT OFF, LIGHTS SHUT OFF, ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEN APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS LATER ALL CAME BACK ON. (2007 JEEP WRANGLER X). *TR

I HAVE A WRANGLER BUILT IN 9/06 AND PURCHASED IN 11/06. IT HAS A STALLING ISSUE WHILE DRIVING, IT HAS HAD ALL THE RECALLS AND FLASHES DONE TO THE COMPUTER AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH STATING THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE STALLING. I HAVE ALSO FILED 2 OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ORG. ON THIS..#10192506 ON 6/5 AND #10204419 ON 9/28. WHILE DRIVING TONIGHT AT A STEADY 70 MPH. THE ENGINE CUT OUT, STALLED THEN RE-STARTED ! LUCKILY MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS NOT IN THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WENT IN FOR THE LAST RECALL ON THIS, AND THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS STALLED SINCE THE "FIX" AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY...I THINK ANYONE WOULD BELIEVE A VEHICLE STALLING AND LOSING LIGHTS AT NIGHT DOING @70MPH IS VERY DANGEROUS. ALL I WANT IS A VEHICLE THAT I CAN DEPEND ON, I WILL STATE AGAIN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND THE ENGINE IS STILL STALLING WHILE DRIVING, AND THIS IS THE 3RD TIME SINCE THE MANUFACTURES RECALL COMPUTER "FLASH FIX" . I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME HELP! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BACK DOOR IS DEFECTIVE AND WATER ENTERS THROUGH THE SIDES WHEN IT RAINS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THEY COULD NOT MAKE THE REPAIR. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400.

HOOD POPS UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DUE TO INADEQUATE, UNSAFE RUBBER HOOD LATCHES. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TWO RUBBER HOOD STRAPS ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE HOOD CLOSED. ON TWO LANE ROADS, THE AIR TURBULENCE FROM LARGE ONCOMING VEHICLES WILL CAUSE THE HOOD TO LIFT APPROXIMATELY TWO INCHES UNTIL THE SAFETY LATCH ENGAGES. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS DISTRACTION WHEN THE HOOD RISES AND THEN SLAMS DOWN AFTER THE ONCOMING VEHICLE PASSES. *TR

ENGINE DIED @ 65 MPH,AND AT OTHER TIMES AT STOP LIGHTS AND WHILE DRIVING ON OFF ROAD TRAIL. TRANS DIDN'T UPSHIFT WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ON HIWAY AND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PASS OTHER VEHICLES. DEALER SAID THERE WASN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. *JB

1) 6 ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL (DRIVE BY WIRE) PROBLEM. 2) HARD TO DRIVE UNLESS YOU CAN GET IT TO CANCEL THE PROBLEM ONLY BY RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, IN TRAFFIC THIS CAN BE HAZARDOUS 3) PARTS REPLACED WERE WIRE HARNESS, CONNECTORS AND PATCH JOBS, ALL UNDER WARRANTY AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE OLD PARTS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED MAYBE THERE WAS A SAFETY DEFECT ON HIS VEHICLE. THE REAR BRAKE LINE, WHICH IS LOCATED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE, WAS NOT SECURED WITHIN THE WHEEL. THE LINES WERE LOCATED NEAR THE TIRES AND RIMS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 832. UPDATED 01/02/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NO FAILURE. THIS IS JUST AN OWNERS CONCERN REGARDING THE LOCATION OF THE BRAKE LINES AND THEIR EXPOSURE TO DAMAGE DUE TOO MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES. UPDATED 12/12/07

2007 JEEP WRANGLER. HAS HAD THE ENGINE STALL ISSUE, IN FOR TSB ON THIS ISSUE-VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. DEALERSHIP THEN LATER SAID IT WAS STALLING DUE TO IGNITION SWITCH AFTER A FEW MORE STALLING INCIDENTS. THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH, THEN MANUFACTURER ISSUED A RECALL IN JULY FOR THIS ISSUE, THE RECALL WAS DONE. TODAY 9/27 THE EXACT STALL WHILE DRIVING HAPPENED AGAIN, VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHEN DRIVING, LOSING ALL POWER/LIGHTS/STEERING/BRAKES. *JB

WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC GETTING ON THE FREEWAY, MY ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUT AS I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER SEEM TO LOCK UP AS THE VEHICLE QUITS RESPONDING TO DRIVER COMMANDS. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE FIRST 1000 MILES SINCE BEING PURCHASED. THE DEALER CANNOT SEEM TO DUPLICATE THIS DISCREPANCY. THIS VEHICLE IS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DR 4X4. *JB

IT IS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL, THERE IS A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. WHEN IN THE RPM RANGE OF 1500 TO 2000 RPMS IT MAKES THIS NOISE. IT IS STARTING TO BECOME VERY ANNOYING BECAUSE THE MORE I DRIVE THE LOUDER IT GETS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE THROW OUT BEARING PER THE TSB THAT WAS GIVEN. THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE 30 DAYS TO GET A FIELD ENGINEER OUT TO LOOK AT MY PROBLEM TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR IT. SO I AM STILL WAITING AND NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THE DEALERSHIPS OUTCOME. *JB

2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH LATE MARCH 2007 BUILD DATE IS EXPERIENCING STALL FAILURES OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHILE BRAKING AT A STOP SIGN, MY JEEP STALLED OUT AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF SECONDS CAME BACK ON. DURING THIS STALL PERIOD, BOTH STEERING AND BRAKING ARE SEVERELY NEGATIVELY INFLUENCED. *JB

WHILE NEGOTIATING A RIGHT HAND CURVE ON A LOCAL TOWN ROAD IN MY 07 JEEP WRANGLER X, 2-DR, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE ENGINE STALLED FOR APPROX. 2 SECONDS AND THEN RESTARTED ITSELF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING (I ASSUME) AS STEERING/CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH WITH NO PASSENGERS. THIS VEHICLE HAS A BUILD DATE OF 04/17/07 AND WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM A JEEP DEALER ON 07/02/07. THE VEHICLE HAD 4166 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. AFTER CHECKING DAIMLERCHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL G25, REPROGRAM TIPM - ENGINE STALLING DATED JULY 2007, I SEE THAT ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE EXACT SYMPTOMS LISTED, THE BUILD DATE OF MY VEHICLE FALLS OUTSIDE THE DATE LISTED IN THE RECALL (01-22-07). OBVIOUSLY THIS NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. THIS CAN ALSO BE VERIFIED VIA THE FOLLOWING INTERNET FORUM THREAD: "HTTP://WWW.JK-FORUM.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=2366" THIS FORUM INCLUDES QUITE A FEW OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE INCLUDING MANY THAT; 1) HAVE HAD THE RECALL PROCEDURE PERFORMED ALREADY; 2) HAVE A VEHICLE OUTSIDE OF THE SPECIFIED BUILD DATE; OR 3) ACTUALLY OWN A 2008 MODEL YEAR JEEP WRANGLER. IT SEEMS THE RECALL PROCEDURE OR "FIX" DOES NOT ACTUALLY CORRECT THIS ISSUE AND THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE LATER BUILD DATES. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING IN A SLOWER, LOW TRAFFIC, LESS HAZARDOUS SITUATION DURING MY FIRST INCIDENT BUT NOW I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THIS OCCURS AGAIN DURING FASTER, HIGHWAY USE OR IN A BUS

ABS/ TRACTION CONTROL/ ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGES AT TIMES WHEN USING HIGHWAY ON/ OFF RAMPS AND WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES. VEHICLE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR THIS ISSUE BY UPDATING THE ABS CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE TO THE LATEST VERSION, BUT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. THE ABS MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND STAYS ILLUMINATED, BUT THE DEALER CAN FIND NO TROUBLE CODES. NOTE: THIS VEHICLE DID NOT FALL INTO CAMPAIGN 06V493000 AS THE ABS MODULE UNDER THE SCOPE OF THAT RECALL WAS INTRODUCED TWO DAYS AFTER THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT.

SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH IT HAS AT LEAST HAD APPROXIMATELY 100 TIMES OF EXCESSIVE CRANK TIME. I FEAR IT MAY BE DESTROYING THE ENGINE OR ? I'VE ALSO HAD ONE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER CALL ME 'CRAZY' AND REPORTED THAT IT WAS NOT HAPPENING BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. AFTER HIS RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL REMARK, I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER SHIP WHO TREATED ME WITH RESPECT, BUT AGAIN, THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE EXCESSIVE CRANK. FINALLY ON A SECOND VISIT, THEY REPORTED THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. PROBLEM IS; THEY WANT ME TO WAIT AND HAVE STAR TECHS., TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT. I AM UPSET THAT THEY WON'T JUST TRADE THE JEEP! I AM PAYING BIG MONEY FOR A PIECE OF... (YOU KNOW WHAT!) IF THEY REFUSE TO TRADE, I WANT MY MONEY BACK. A NEW CAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES!! IT HAS DIED ON ME BUT ONLY ONCE AND I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. I HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THANK GOD THEY WERE ABLE TO FIGURE THAT ONE OUT!!

WHILE TRAVELING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, AS I WAS ASCENDING A TURN ON A STEEP GRADE, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED FROM 4TH TO 2ND GEAR ABRUPTLY. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE ESP LIGHT ON THE DASH LIT UP AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG. I RE-STARTED THE ENGINE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM THE TRIP AND THEY CHECKED THE ECU AND NO WARNINGS CAME UP. *JB

AT 65 MPH ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AS IF JEEP HAD LOST POWER AND CAME BACK ON. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR ANY INCIDENCES LIKE THIS AND FOUND A NEWS STORY THAT SAID CHRYSLER WAS BEING INVESTIGATED AND WAS TO RECALL 80,000 JEEPS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY DENIED WE HAVE A PROBLEM AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO EVEN LOOK AT MY JEEP BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THE VIN NUMBER DIDN'T MATCH THE RECALL. MEANWHILE I AM DRIVING A JEEP UNSURE IF IT WILL STALL OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

300 MILES ON MY NEW 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. IT WILL NOT IDLE CORRECTLY. INCORRECT GAS-CAP ANALYSIS. IN FOR SERVICE 2 TIMES FOR SAME PROBLEM. JEEP NEEDS ANOTHER RECALL ON THIS PIECE OF JUNK. *TR

WHILE COASTING TO A STOP SIGN TODAY, I WENT TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO FIND THE PEDAL LOCKED AT THE TOP OF THE TRAVEL. AS I PRESSED THE PEDAL, THE ABS STARTED MODULATING LIKE THE TIRES WERE LOCKED UP, BUT THEY WEREN'T AS I WAS ON DRY PAVEMENT AND NOT SLOWING DOWN AT ALL. I FRANTICALLY PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND AFTER SEVERAL DEPRESSIONS (3-5) THE PEDAL UNLOCKED AND TRAVELED NORMALLY ALLOWING ME TO STOP THE VEHICLE. *TR

SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING ENTRY AND EXIT FROM 07 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR. SEAT DOES NOT FOLD FORWARD PROPERLY TO ALLOW AN AVERAGE SIZE ADULT ENTRY OR EXIT FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE! IN ADDITION, THERE IS IMPROPER PLACEMENT OF THE SEAT BELT SYSTEM BLOCKING THE PATH AS WELL. OLDER MODEL WRANGLERS HAD A SEAT THAT ALLOWED THE SEAT TO FOLD COMPLETELY FORWARD. *TR

JEEP WRANGLER LOSES POWER. EVERYTHING TURNS OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TOOK IN TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE DESCRIBING SAME PROBLEM. MEAN WHILE MY JEEP KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY FIXED IT. BUT THEY ONLY MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. NOW IT DOES SAME MORE OFTEN SO TOOK IT BACK. NOW THEY SAY THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THAT AS FAR AS THEY ARE CONCERNED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND THEY CLAIM THEY ALREADY FIXED THE RECALL PROBLEM . I TOLD THEM THEY DID NOT. THEN THEY SUGGESTED THAT I LET ONE OF THEIR HOURLY MECHANIC'S DRIVE IT HOME WITH HIM TO DO FURTHER TESTS ON HIS WAY HOME. I REFUSED TO LET THEM DRIVE MY JEEP HOME. SO I PICKED IT UP. THE PAPER THEY FORCED ME TO SIGN BEFORE THEY WOULD LET ME HAVE IT STATED THAT I REFUSED FURTHER TESTS.. THAT IS A LIE. I DO NOT CONSIDER THEIR GUY DRIVING MY JEEP HOME AND GOING ON JOY RIDES WITH IT A TEST. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT I CAN DO NOW. THANKS JAMES. K WARREN. *TR

PROBLEM WITH 2007 JEEP WRANGLER BEEN TO GARAGE 3 TIMES BEFORE A RECALL LETTER WAS ISSUED THEN RETURN BACK TO DEALERSHIP SAME DAY OF THE RECALL AND STILL NOT FIXED AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS, WAITING TO SEE IF IT IS FIXED AFTER THIS ATTEMPT. *JB

2007 JEEP WRANGLER X - 4WD. ENGINE STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ENGINE STALLED FOR A MOMENT. ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, AND THE ENGINE THEN RESTARTED AND ACTED NORMAL. CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON DURING THE INCIDENT. *AK

REF: WRANGLER STALLING PROBLEM (PE07027). JEEP WRANGLER 2DR 4WD 2007 AUTO TRANS. VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE A TRANSIENT ELECTRONICS FAULT IN HOT WEATHER. WHEN THE FAULT OCCURS, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLASH FOR ABOUT A SECOND (SIMILAR TO AT ENGINE START). ON THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THERE WAS A BRIEF LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND THE BRAKES MAY HAVE APPLIED MOMENTARILY, AS IF THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM HAD ACTIVATED. ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED AS IF AT STARTUP. CD PLAYER STOPPED. THIS WAS AT 25MPH ON A FLAT RESIDENTIAL STREET, ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STARTED AFTER SOAKING IN HOT SUN ON A 90F+ DAY. THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION WITHIN ONE SECOND. SERVICE ADVISOR AT DEALERSHIP (BOARDWALK AUTO, REDWOOD CITY, CA) ADVISED ME TO CALL BACK IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS CLIMBING A MODERATE HILL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC (CALIFORNIA RT 92 BETWEEN I-280 AND SKYLINE BLVD, A WELL KNOWN HEAVILY TRAVELED HILL). THE ENGINE RPMS SUDDENLY INCREASED FROM ABOUT 1,500 TO ABOUT 3,000 RPM AS THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED UNEXPECTEDLY. ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED ON, THEN RESET TO NORMAL. AGAIN, THIS HAPPENED ON AN UNUSUALLY HOT DAY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD SPENT MOST OF THE DAY PARKED IN SUNLIGHT. SERVICE ADVISOR AT DEALERSHIP (BOARDWALK AUTO, REDWOOD CITY, CA) ADVISED ME TO CALL BACK IF IT HAPPENED A THIRD TIME. IN ALL CASES, THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE WAS NORMAL. AFTER READING ABOUT THE "WRANGLER STALLING PROBLEM", I WANTED TO PUT THIS ON THE RECORD, TO P

APPROX. 3 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR NEW 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WE EXPERIENCED A PREMATURE ENGAGEMENT OF THE ESP SYSTEM UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AT A SPEED OF 35MPH. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE DUE TO AUTOMATIC BRAKING AND SHUT DOWN OF THROTTLE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED 3 LEAKING BRAKE CALIPERS. APPROX. 2 WEEKS LATER WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE AT A LOW SPEED. WE IMMEDIATELY RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED THE REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. AGAIN, 1 WEEK LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE. CHRYSLER SERVICE REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR. THE 4TH INCIDENT OCCURRED 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CANNOT DUPLICATE OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM. WE FILED A LEMON LAW CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER SETTLEMENT. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY WILL BE REPLACING THE VEHICLE AND THE PAPERWORK IS BEING PROCESSED.

2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK: 2 DOOR:MODEL X:MANUAL TRANSMISSION: PURCHASED ON 3/29/07: AT 2,833 MILES, MY VEHICLE STALLED ON INTERSTATE 10 AT 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE STALLED DISABLING ALL POWER TO THE CONTROLS FOR 3 SECONDS DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE THEN RESTARTED ON ITS OWN AND I CONTINUED ON MY WAY, THINKING IT WAS SIMPLY A MINOR MALFUNCTION. IT RECURRED AT 5,180 MILES WHILE I WAS IN NEUTRAL GEAR, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND 2 SECONDS LATER IT RESTARTED ON ITS OWN. AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE, I WENT TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM ONLINE. I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOW CALLED "THE STALL BUG" AND IT IS HAPPENING TO HUNDREDS OF 2007 JEEP JK WRANGLER OWNERS ON BOTH MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. I FOUND THAT MANY OF THE OWNERS WHO HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM HAVE TAKEN THEIR VEHICLES TO THEIR JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ENDS UP SENDING THEM BACK WITHOUT THE PROBLEM BEING FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. AS SOON AS I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS THIS GROSSLY OVERLOOKED PROBLEM, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED (6/30/07). MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING LOOKED AT BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, BUT FROM THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM YET AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL MOST LIKELY SEND ME HOME WITH A TICKING TIME BOMB OF A VEHICLE AS IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE STALL WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AT AROUND 9,000 MILES. (HTTP://WWW.JK-FORUM.COM). *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT AROUND 70 MPH AND THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN JERKED FORWARD AND SLOWED WAY DOWN. ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS WENT ON, THE CAR WENT DEAD FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THEN STARTED GOING AGAIN LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AGAIN, AND IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THIS JEEP. THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN BRAKE PROBLEMS TWICE... ONE OF WHICH CAUSED A CRASH. THE QUESTION ASKING "OEM" BELOW... I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION AND WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAS NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 6,000.

AFTER SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHILE TRAVELING HOME, THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE AT HIGHWAY SPEED (55 MPH). WHEN THE VEHICLE (2007 JEEP WRANGLER) STALLED I LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING ELECTRICTRONICS AND LIGHTS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS TO BRING IT IN IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I NOTICED ON YOUR WEBSITE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM SO I WANTED TO REPORT IT. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED BUT A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS.

I HAD JUST EXITED THE FREEWAY AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 28 MILES AND WHILE GETTING OF THE RAMP INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC I HAD A CPMPLETE LOSS OF POWER LASTING A FEW MINUTES. NOTHING WORKED, BRAKES AND STEERING INCLUDED. I MANAGED TO ROLL OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT AND SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND MY JEEP RESTARTED LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY ALONG WITH A PRINT OUT OF THIS INVESTIGATION. NO MILES WERE PUT ON MY JEEP BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T RE-CREATE THE INCIDENT AND STATED THEY RESET A POWER STEERING CHIP THAT THE MANUFATURER RECOMMENDED. THE STALL HAS NOT REOCCURED IN THREE WEEKS BUT TONIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME MY STABILITY CONTROLL LIGHT CAME ON AND WONT SHUT OFF. I WASN'T EVEN MOVING WHEN IT CAME ON I WAS AT A LIGHT. I HAVE ALSO HAD EPISODES OF MY STABILITY CONTROLL COMING ON AND LOCKING MY BRAKED ON DRY ROADS. AGAIN THE DEALER FOUND NOTHING WRONG.

2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR. STALLS. LOSES ALL ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL POWER. HAS HAPPENED ON FIVE OCCASIONS. ON THE LAST OCCASION I WAS IN A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND WAS ALMOST BROADSIDED WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I WAS CAUGHT IN THE ONCOMING FLOW OF TRAFFIC. BRANDON, FLORIDA DEALERSHIP DENIES THAT SUCH AN OCCURRENCE IS POSSIBLE OR REPAIRABLE BECAUSE THEY "ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM." VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL.

I EXITED THE HIGHWAY ON TO THE RAMP DOING 35MPH AND IN THE TURN I LOST ALL POWER,THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN,WITHIN A FEW SECONDS ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL BUT IT RESTARTED IN TIME. I TALKED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY KNOW NOTHING OF THIS. *TR

DRIVING MY 2007 2 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER AUTOMATIC IT SUDDENLY STALLED AT 50 MPH. THE DASH LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AND THE ENGINE REVVED AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN EVERYTHING CAME BACK TO NORMAL AND IT DROVE HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS-OCCURRED AT 8500 -13400 MILES, AND AGAIN AT 26400 MILES. AT 70 MPH VEHICLE SHUDDERED -LOST ELECTRICAL POWER, LASTS ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND ALL LIGHTS ,THEN LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND VEHICLE BEGAN TO OPERATE AGAIN. I NOTICED EACH TIME BEFORE IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN IT HAD A VERY ROUGH IDLE AT STOP SIGNS. SCARED ME VERY BADLY EACH TIME. *AK

I'VE EXPERIENCED SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X. ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASSIONS THE IGNITION HAS STUCK IN THE STARTING POSTION. SECOND, AND MOST DISTURBING, MY JEEP LOST POWER AND THE ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIT UP, WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60-65MPH. I TALK TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE IGNITION ISSUE, WHICH THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT RE-CREATE, THEREFORE COULD NOT DIAGNOSE. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 1,700 MILES. BELOW IS THE DATE OF THE MAJOR INCIDENT.

JEEP STALLED IN TRAFFIC, ENGINE CUT OFF...DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIT UP...HAD TO RESTART. *TR

IGNITION STICKS. CD PLAYER (6 DISC CHANGER) FAILED IN 1ST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP AND LESS THAN 1,000 MILES. WAS REPLACED BUT ALL OF MY CD'S ARE IN PLAYER AND MAY NOT BE RETURNED. SUDDEN ENGINE/ELECTRICAL FAILURE WITH SPONTANEOUS RESTART WHILE DRIVING APPROX 45 MPH. *TR

BRAND NEW 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 6,300 MILES. KEY BECAME LODGED IN IGNITION AND WOULD NOT COME OUT. CAR COULD NOT BE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF SO BATTERY DRAIN OCCURRED. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THEY KEPT THE CAR TO WORK ON IT WITHOUT OFFERING A LOANER. JUST WANTED TO REPORT THIS IN CASE THERE ARE OTHER INSTANCES OF KEYS BECOMING LODGED IN IGNITIONS OF NEW CHRYSLER / JEEP PRODUCTS. *TR

2007 JEEP JK WRANGLER 6 SPEED 2080 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AS I WAS TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH, I LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE FOR A SPLIT SECOND. THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIT UP. THE ENGINE DID NOT STOP RUNNING, HOWEVER, IT WAS UNRESPONSIVE. A SECOND LATER, THE LIGHTS WENT OFF, THE RADIO CAME ON AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ALL OF THIS AT 40 MPH IN 4TH GEAR.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE 2007 WRANGLER LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER WITH THE ENGINE STALLED AT THE SAME TIME. THE PROBLEM LASTED FOR ABOUT 3-SECOND BEFORE ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED AT ONCE AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3-TIMES SO FAR, ANDWAS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN AS CONTROL AND BRAKING OF THE VEHICLEWAS LOST WITH NO POWER STEERING AND ABS . *AK

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH, AND I BEGIN TO DECREASE SPEED SINCE I WAS ARRIVING AT A LIGHT. THE CAR WENT OFF FOR 1 SECOND. RADIO/ENGINE WENT OFF AND THE CAR RESTARTED ITSELF ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON, ETC. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPEND. FIRST AT ABOUT 2500 MILES. THIS SECOND ONE AT 8529.*AK

2007 JEEP WRANGLER ENGINE STALLS AND LOSS OF ELECTRICITY AND POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENED 2 TIMES. VEHICLE WAS DRIVING UNDER 50 MPH FOR BOTH INSTANCES. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE STALL/LOSS OF ELECTRICITY/LOSS OF POWER STEERING LASTED FOR ONLY ABOUT 1 SECOND.

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT APPROX. 70MPH
