2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-Dr 4x2 complaints

I GUESS I AM WRITING WITH MORE THAN ONE ISSUE. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE OF SUCH A LONG EXPLANATION BUT I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD BEFORE DELVING INTO THIS. I PURCHASED MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X 4-DOOR 2WD IN OCTOBER OF 2006. I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY VICTIMS THAT WHILE GOING 70 MPH, THE ENTIRE JEEP SHUT DOWN AND THEN RESTARTED ON IT'S OWN. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. TOOK IT IN ONCE, I GOT THE "I'M SORRY LOOK" AND WAS LET GO. DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER WITH THE DEALERSHIP THE SECOND TIME AND FINALLY WAS LUCKY ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE A WRECK BEFORE THE RECALL WAS SENT. WITHIN ONE MONTH, NOT MORE THAN 1200 ON THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START. CALLED TOW TRUCKS TWICE. EACH TIME, IT TOOK THE TOW TRUCK 30-45 MINUTES TO ARRIVE AND IN THAT TIME FRAME, WITH REPEATED EFFORTS, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO START. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN FOR ABOUT 6 - 9 MONTHS THEN CAME FEBRUARY 2007. IT WAS ABOUT 45 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I WALKED OUT TO GET THE MAIL. AS I LOOKED UP AT THE JEEP, I WAS STOPPED DEAD IN MY TRACKS AND DID NOT EVEN WANT TO FACE WHAT I KNEW HAD HAPPENED. RIGHT BELOW WHERE THE WINDSHIELD STARTS, RIGHT ABOVE THE HOOD, ON THE DRIVERS' SIDE WAS AN APPROXIMATE 1" CRACK. I WENT BACK OUTSIDE 3 TIMES THINKING MAYBE I "THOUGHT" I WAS SEEING SOMETHING THAT WASN'T REALLY THERE. WITHIN ONE WEEK, THE CRACK HAD EXTENDED UP ABOUT 1/2" AND CRACKED HORIZONTALLY ABOUT 4 INCHES ACROSS. SO SORRY AGAIN FOR THE LONG, INDEPTH LETTER. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME ADVICE. L

2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA 2 WD WITH 15,000 MILES ON IT. WITHOUT WARNING THE JEEP LOST POWER, AND STARTED MAKING CLACKING NOISE UNDER ACCELERATION. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. MAIN BEARING WAS RUINED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X2. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH OR GREATER, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, SOME OF WHICH THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART, BUT TWICE IT WAS TOWED. THE VEHICLE ALSO STARTS INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES REGARDING THESE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL NUMBER 07V291000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,634 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,600. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN ON 8/23/07. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED MULTIPLE REPAIR INVOICES AND PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 08/31/07 *TR

THE HOOD OF MY JEEP LIFTS UP DURING THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1) WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON A WINDY DAY. 2) WHEN DRIVING OVER 50MPH AND A LARGE VEHICLE, SUCH AS A TRUCK, PASSES IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. IT APPEARS THAT THE 2 HOOD LATCHES (ONE ON EACH SIDE) STRETCH ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE HOOD TO LIFT WHEN THERE IS SUFFICIENT AIR PRESSURE GENERATED FROM WIND. THE CENTER HOOD LATCH HAS CAUGHT THE HOOD DURING THESE OCCASIONS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE HOOD MAY COME COMPLETELY UNLATCHED, THEN RAISE ALL THE WAY UP THUS BLOCKING MY VIEW - WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

HOOD RAISES UP 2 TO 3 INCHES DURING HIGH WINDS OR WHEN PASSED BY APPROACHING LARGE TRUCK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AT 55 MPH,WENT THROUGH A SERIES OF BUMPS ON THE ROAD WHICH BEGAN UNCONTROLLABLE VIBRATION OR WOBBLING, AND VIOLENT SHAKING, IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND FRONT END. FRONT END AND TIRES APPEARED TO BE MOVING LEFT TO RIGHT IN THE UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE. THIS HAPPENED AT ALL SPEEDS AFTER HITTING BUMPS ON A HIGHWAY AND COMPONENTS ON THE FRONT END APPEAR TO BE VISUALLY INTACT. THIS VEHICLE IS A WRANGLER X UNLIMITED 4 X 2 - 4 DOOR. ALL 4 INCIDENCES TOOK PLACE WITHIN 50 MILES. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. *AK

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP SAHARA JK FOUR DOOR. TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON THE 10 FREEWAY IN PAMONA, CA IN THE CAR POOL LANE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON GOING ABOUT 70MPH. I HAD BEEN TRAVELING THIS WAY FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD. THE ENGINE APPEARED TO STALL. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO EVEN THOUGH I WASCOASTING. THE RPM READ ABOUT 800. I KEEP PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I WOULD GET A SPURT OF SPEED BUT HAD AN OVERALL REDUCTION OF SPEED. I HAD TO NAVIGATE OVER DOUBLE YELLOW LINES, BETWEEN SEMI'S TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER STOPPING I TURNED THE KEY OFF THEN ON AGAIN. IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND I CONTINUED THE REST OF THE 150 MILES. THE DASH DISPLAYED TWO ICONS. ONE WAS THE ESP SYMBOL AND THE OTHER WAS A RED LIGHTING BOLT IN BETWEEN TWO VERTICAL RED LINES. I CALLED THE DEALER, SHAVER JEEP, IN SAN BERNARDINO. THE SERVICE GUY SAID THIS WASN'T UNCOMMON. HE HYPOTHESIZE THE ESP SYSTEM SENSED A NEED TO TURN ON CAUSING THE COMPUTER TO TAKE CONTROL. I ASSURED HIM I WAS GOING STRAIGHT AND HAD NOT MADE ANY TURNS OR HIT ANY BUMPS. IT HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE. IF THIS WAS THE REASON, THE COMPUTER MADE A FALSE INTERPRETATION AND IT SHOULD HAVE TURNED CONTROL BACK TO THE DRIVER AFTER THE CORRECTION WAS MADE INSTEAD OF LOSING SPEED ON A BUSY FREEWAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA STALLED WHILE IN MOTION. IT THEN LOST ALL POWER STEERING, ETC. MOMENTARILY AND THEN STARTED ITSELF BACK UP WITHOUT ANY HUMAN INTERVENTION. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY WHILE MAKING A LOW-SPEED TURN IN WHICH IT STALLED COMPLETELY AND I WAS STOPPED IN A BUSY TRAFFIC AREA ON A BLIND CURVE WITH TRAFFIC COMING BOTH DIRECTIONS. CARS WERE COMING BOTH DIRECTIONS AND THERE WAS ALMOST AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEY WERE AVOIDING ME. I ALSO HAD MY 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. I TOOK THE JEEP TO GALEANA CHRYSLER JEEP IN COLUMBIA, SC TWICE. BOTH TIMES, THE TECHNICIANS TOLD ME THERE WERE "NO FAILURE CODES" SO THERE WAS NO WORK THAT THEY COULD DO.

VEHICLE - 2007 JEEP UNLIMITED X 4 DOOR WRANGLER 1800+ MILES. DRIVING AROUND 70 MPH ON FREEWAY 2) POWER LOSS FOR 5 TO 10 SECONDS WITH ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS ILLUMINATING. 3) VEHICLE RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS/REPAIR - PURCHASED NEW VEHICLE.*AK

I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGER UNLIMITED (4-DOOR) YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING ON A RURAL HIGHWAY BETWEEN 60-70MPH AND I LOST ALL POWER, THE RADIO SHUT DOWN AND I LOOKED DOWN AT MY DASH AND ALL MY LIGHTS LIT UP. I FELT THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AS I BEGUN TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER ALL THE POWER CAME BACK UP. I CAME HOME TO TELL MY HUSBAND AND HE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SIMILAR SITUATIONS BEING REPORTED. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND THEY BOTH HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THIS BEING AN ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS WILL THIS BE AN ONGOING ISSUE AND CAN IT BE FIXED. I DON'T WANT TO BE DRIVING AT A FAST SPEED TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN, THIS CANNOT BE SAFE. THE DEALERS SAID THEY WOULD RUN DIAGNOSTICS BUT WILL THAT TRULY IDENTIFY THE ISSUE IF THIS HAS HAPPENED ONLY ONCE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY AT AROUND 75-80 MPH, THE JEEP SHUT OFF, FORCING BOTH MYSELF AND PASSENGER TO FLY TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD.LUCKILY WE HAD ON OUR SEAT BELTS, OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND PROBABLY WRECKED, THERE WERE CARS ON BOTH SIDES OF US, VERY SCARY!!!.AFTER THREE OR FOUR SECONDS THE JEEP CAME BACK ON AND RAN GREAT UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENED, AROUND 60 ON HWY.ALL ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE TURNS OFF WITH NO BRAKES, STEERING AND PANEL LIGHTS.THIS HAS HAPPEN THREE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO IT GOES UNFIXED.I LOVE THE JEEP, BUT SAFETY FIRST. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X2. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO LOSE POWER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 3,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X2. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ENGINE WOULD LOSE POWER FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE TO FIVE SECONDS. AFTERWARDS, THE ENGINE WOULD REGAIN POWER AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE ENGINE SIZE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 12,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

SECOND TIME ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 SECONDS AND THEN RESUMED . NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS ON THEN REGAINED FUNCTIONS TO RUN. RAINING WITH HEADLIGHTS ON, AIR CONDITIONER , WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND RADIO WERE ON. NO CODES WERE STORED ,SO HOW CAN YOU FIX IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS A VOLTAGE PROBLEM, BUT CHRYLSER HAD NO ANSWERS. SO, AFTER MY FAMILY WAS DEAD FROM AN ACCIDENT THEY COULD BLAME ME, I GUESS. *AK

DURING NORMAL DRIVING, MY VEHICLE WILL STALL. HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT (5 MONTHS). TOTAL LOSS OF ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND ELECTRICAL IN THE VEHICLE. DEALER TOLD ME ON BOTH OCCASIONS THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE DID NOT REPORT A CODE IN THE COMPUTER, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *JB

PURCHASED THIS JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4 DOOR 2 WHEEL DRIVE 12/26/2006 NEW, WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN BETWEEN TRAFFIC LIGHTS AFTER COMPLETE STOP I START TO MOVE FORWARD SLOWLY TO THE NEXT RED LIGHT APPROX 500 FEET AT ABOUT 25 MPH. THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND AS I LOOK AT THE RADIO ALL OF THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON. BY THE TIME I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL THE RADIO TURNED BACK ON AND THE WARNING LIGHTS TURNED OFF. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME FOR THE NEXT 20 MINUTES AT 70 MPH. THIS TOOK PLACE AT NIGHT WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON,R UNNING LIGHTS HEATER ON MEDIUM, RADIO PLAYING AND OUTSIDE TEMP APPROX 34 DEGREES. THE LARGE TRUCK BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME WHEN VEHICLE SLOWED AS I NOTICED IT NO LONGER RUNNING. I SEE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THE SAFETY OF THIS START AND STOP IN TRAFFIC. *NM
