2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-Dr 4x4 complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH OR GREATER IN WINDY CONDITIONS, THE HOOD WOULD VIBRATE AND ELEVATE HALF AN INCH. THE DEALER INSTALLED TWO RUBBER STOPS UNDER THE HOOD; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. AS OF NOVEMBER 13, 2007, THE DEALER HAD NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 800 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,140. UPDATED 01-11-08. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER INFORMED HIM TO PUT A WEATHER STRIP ON THE VEHICLE BUT THIS METHOD DID NOT CORRECT THE DEFECT. UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

REAR MAIN OIL SEAL LEAKING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT SHIFTED FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. HE DROVE INTO A DITCH, BUT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO HIS RESIDENCE AT 5 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL BRACKET FAILED. THE DEALER WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT HAD A TIRE MODIFICATION. THE ESP SENSOR WAS REPROGRAMMED THREE TIMES, BUT THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO LOCK. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER TO HAVE THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL BRACKET REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 21,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16.

2007 JEEP UNLIMITED 4 DOOR 4X4 PURCHASED NEW IN APRIL, 2007 VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WITHIN 3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE OF VEHICLE I WAS PROCEEDING UP A HILL WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR ON ITS OWN AND INTO WHAT SEEMED TO BE NEUTRAL CAUSING THE VEHICLES RPM'S TO INCREASE FROM 2000 TO OVER 4000 RPMS WHILE THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. AFTER RELEASE OF THE GAS PEDAL THE VEHICLE WENT BACK INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE REPEATED THIS IN JULY WHILE PULLING A POP-UP CAMPER DOWN THE INTERSTATE GOING UPHILL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT TO AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFT IT WENT INTO A NEUTRAL MODE. THIS ALMOST CAUSED A VEHICLE BEHIND ME TO REAR END ME SINCE I LOST POWER AND BEGAN TO SLOW WITHOUT ANY BRAKE LIGHTS COMING ON. ONCE AGAIN THE VEHICLE WENT BACK INTO GEAR AFTER RELEASE OF THE ACCELERATOR. AT THAT TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR HOWEVER SINCE THE DEALER COULD NOT CREATE THE PROBLEM AGAIN AND NO COMPUTER CODES WERE STORED THE DEALER COULD NOT DO ANY REPAIRS. AS TIME GOES BY THE CONDITION IS GETTING WORSE HOWEVER DEALER CANNOT FIND A WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED SINCE THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME ESPECIALLY WHEN QUICK ACCELERATION IS NEEDED. *TR

2007 JEEP UNLIMITED 4 DOOR 4X4 WITH 3 PIECE FREEDOM HARDTOP. HARDTOP ROOF HAS LEAKED SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN APRIL 2007. LEAK OCCURS AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS AT THE TWO FRONT PANELS ABOVE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO DEALER FIVE TIMES FOR REPAIR HOWEVER ROOF STILL LEAKS, ACTUALLY WORSE THAN BEFORE. WATER IS LEAKING ON DASH, INTO ELECTRONICS AND ON VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. THIS IS VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING AND MAY DAMAGE DASH ELECTRONICS IF ALLOWED TO CONTINUE. *TR

DRIVING HOME ON A FRIDAY, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, THE SPEEDOMETER; TACH, ODOMETER AND TEMP GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. IT KEPT RUNNING, SO I DROVE IT HOME. GOT HOME, WOULD NOT RESTART WITH EITHER KEY. REMOTES DID NOT WORK EITHER. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY WERE TOO BUSY TO LOOK AT IT, THEY SAID MAYBE MONDAY! MONDAY AND NOW THEY HAVE TO CALL THE TECH LINE, NEVER SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I HAD THE REFLASH DONE FOR THE STALL BUG AT 12K, 4K AGO. LIKE THE VEHICLE, BUT TOO MANY ELECTRONIC AND SOFTWARE BUGS!! I AM STARTING TO WONDER IF WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR DOING JEEP'S DEVELOPMENT TESTING. WITH THESE TYPES OF ISSUES MAKING IT TO THE FIELD, I WONDER WHAT THEY FOUND DURING DEVELOPMENT THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT. *TR

WHEN COASTING TO A STOP, GOING UPHILL ON A HIGHWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL LOCKS-UP WHEN YOU PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IT RELEASES AND BRAKES NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AT THE SAME INTERSECTION (MAY 2007, AUGUST 2007, SEPT. 2007). ALL THREE TIMES RESULTED IN NEAR-MISS ACCIDENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR REPAIR FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE IT. EVEN THOUGH HE COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED US TO GET RID OF THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. ON 9/14, WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL AT THE DEALER, CHRYSLER ANNOUNCED A RECALL FOR THIS INCIDENT AND ADVISED CUSTOMERS THAT HAD EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY. OURS HAS NOW BEEN THERE FOR 6 WEEKS, WITH NO END IN SIGHT. WE HAVE ALSO HAD THE ENGINE STALL WHEN TRAVELING ON A TWISTY ROAD NEAR OUR RESIDENCE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 1 TIME. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN THE SAME MODEL AS OURS, BUT WAS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BEFORE OURS WAS BUILT. HOWEVER, WE STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AND NO SOLUTION FROM CHRYSLER. *JB

STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE VEHICLE; ENGINE RESTARTED IN 5 MINUTES. *JB

MY JEEP STALLING AT ALL SPEEDS !! ESP LIGHT WILL FLASH AND CAR WILL BEGAN TO JERK AND STALL. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE IT IS NOT PREDICTABLE. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN THIS HAPPENS . I HAVE READ THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS ALSO BEING AFFECTED. WILL CHRYSLER ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED ? DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT YET......PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!! *JB

1-BOUGHT 2007 JEEP WRANGLER BRAND NEW 2-SOFT TOP WAS LEAKING OVER SEAT BELTS, THE FLOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS ARE WET AFTER RAINS. 3-DEALER SAID THAT THE SALESMAN PUT THE TOP ON WRONG AND IT WAS FIXED. TOP STILL LEAKS, DEALERSHIP SAID THAT ALL THE SOFT TOPS LEAK AND IT IS JUST THAT WAY. NOW I ALWAYS PARK MY JEEP IN THE GARAGE, BUT SOMETIMES I HAPPEN TO BE AT WORK DURING A RAIN STORM. I DO NOT THINK IT IS RIGHT THAT DEALERSHIPS CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL THE TOPS LEAKING. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD PAY FOR THESE TO BE FIXED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME IN TRAFFIC AT NORMAL SPEEDS THE VEHICLE ETC LIGHT CAME ON AND RAN VERY ROUGH WITH HIGH AND LOW REVS. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT DOWN THE JEEP WAIT A FEW MIN AND RESTART AND IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED 2 TIMES. *JB

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE JEEP GOES OVER A FEW BUMPS IN THE ROAD IT WILL GO IT TO MAJOR SHAKES THAT DON'T STOP UNTIL YOU PULL OFF THE ROAD AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. *TR

VEHICLE: 2007 JEEP 4 DOOR WRANGLER (UNLIMITED) EXPERIENCED COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES WHILE COASTING UPHILL. I WAS APPROACHING US-221 FROM A SECONDARY ROAD TRAVELING UPHILL TOWARDS A STOP SIGN. WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR MAKING A GRINDING NOISE. I HAD NO BRAKES TO STOP AS I APPROACHED THIS BUSY HIGHWAY WHICH IS HEAVILY TRAVELED BY TRACTOR TRAILERS. I MANAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE JUST BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. THERE WAS NO STALL FROM THE ENGINE DURING THE WHOLE EVENT. IF I HAD NOT ACTED QUICKLY AND PANICKED IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE ME AND MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED OR POSSIBLE KILLED BY ENTERING THIS BUSY 55 MPH HIGHWAY. I WAS FORCED TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE IN THE ROAD AND HAD TO DIRECT TRAFFIC AROUND IT FOR 1-1/2 HOURS WHILE I WAITED FOR THE CHRYSLER'S TOW TRUCK. ONCE AGAIN THIS CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME AND PEOPLE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. VEHICLE IS AT DEALER HOWEVER DEALER STATES HE CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND IS WAITING FOR A REPLY FROM CHRYSLER ON WHAT TO DO. CHRYSLER STATED YESTERDAY ON 9-17-07 THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ITEM ON MY VEHICLE. NATIONAL NEWS STATES OTHERWISE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH TRUCK. *JB

(1) CUSTOMER PURCHASED NEW 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4 DOOR (2) CUSTOMER HAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE MORE THAN 4 TIMES FOR MAJOR LEAK IN THE ROOF AND PROBLEM STILL NOT REPAIRED. SOFT TOP LEAKS AND FLOODS INTERIOR, CAUSING SHOULDER BELT TO SATURATE WHICH MAY COMPROMISE AND DEGRADE HARNESS OVER TIME. ALSO THERE'S A WIND-LIKE SOUND FROM PILLAR, FRONT PASSENGER DOOR POPS OPEN AND IS BOWED, COWL IS RUSTING, AND BLACK GOOK OOZING OUT THE PILLARFOLLOWING THE REPAIR ATTEMPTS. (3) VEHICLE STILL LEAKING AND SATURATING SHOULDER HARNESS. *JB

CAR ENGINE STALLS ...GAUGE LIGHTS FLASH...LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BRAKES. I NOTICE THE PROBLEM MOSTLY WHEN ENTERING/EXITING TURNS AND WHEN I HAVE DRIVEN IN SAND. *JB

I HAD MY VEHICLE ELECTRICAL AND BRAKES CUT OUT 3 TIMES (ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT TWICE). I SPOKE TO A DEALERSHIP NEAR ME 3 TIMES AND ONE TIME THEY TRIED TO REPLICATE IT. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT. THROUGH SEARCHING ON THIS SITE, I FOUND THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A RECALL (G25-REPROGRAM TIPM-ENGINE STALL) TO FIX IT. THE DEALERSHIP PLAYED DUMB TO THE ISSUE UNTIL PROOF WAS SHOWN, BUT STILL WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE MY VIN# DID NOT MATCH RECALL SPECIFIC LIST. CHRYSLER ALSO WOULD NOT OK THEM TO FIX IT (REF#16730876) BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT VIN#, EVENTHOUGH IT IS THE RIGHT MODEL, YEAR, SYMPTOMS, ETC. CHRYSLER DID NOT CARE THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT IT COULD BE SOLVED. I WAS TOLD TO TRY TO REPLICATE IT FOR THE DEALERSHIP. CONCERNED FOR SAFETY, I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT. THEY INSTANTLY KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUE DESCRIBED AND REPROGRAMMED THE TIPM WITH NO CHARGE (THEY OBVIOUSLY UNDERSTOOD THE DANGER). CHRYSLER NEEDS TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL LIST AND CHANGE ITS POLICY ON SUCH A DANGEROUS SITUATION. LUCKILY THERE WAS SOME HUMANITY STILL AROUND AT THE PLACE WHERE I BOUGHT IT. *TR

2007 FOUR DOOR 4X4 JEEP WRANGLER WHEN DRIVING ABOUT 15-20 MILES AND HOUR THROUGH A NEIGHBORHOOD THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM INDICATOR CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATLY SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 5-7 MILE PER HOUR, THIS HAPPENED ABOUT EVERY 10-15 SECONDS FOR NO REASON. THE ROAD WERE DRY, IT HAPPENED ON TURNS AND WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT.

3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING, ALL SEVERAL MONTHS APART, THE ELECTRICAL BOARD COMPLETELY LIGHTS UP AND LOSS OF POWER TO BRAKES AND STEERING FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS. EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL AND ENGINE IS RUNNING. THERE WAS NO WARNING. TWO OF THE INCIDENTS WERE UNDER BRAKING EXITING THE FREEWAY AND I ALMOST WENT INTO THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY I HAVE STRONG LEGS AND THE PAVEMENT WAS DRY. MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE SERVICE CENTER. WILL SEE WHAT THEY SAY. *TR

UNCONTROLLED REVERSE ROLLING / BRAKE FAILURE: 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON UNLIMITED 4 DOOR MODEL. WHILE I'M SURE THAT NO ONE WILL WANT TO HEAR OF A VEHICLE TAKEN OFF-ROAD, THE RUBICON IS MARKETED & DESIGNED TO DO JUST SUCH ACTIVITIES AND DOES THEM EXTREMELY WELL. I HAVE OWNED AT LEAST 12 JEEP VEHICLES AND THIS ONE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING FOR IT'S CAPABILITIES. I LOVE IT & CAN'T SAY ENOUGH POSITIVE. PROBLEM: WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GO UP A STEEP HILL, IF YOU HAVE TO STOP AND ROLL BACK, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES 'STIFF' AND ALLOWS VEHICLE TO FREE ROLL BACKWARDS UNTIL YOU SMASH INTO SOMETHING WHICH MAKES IT STOP. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT IT'S HAPPENED 3 SEPARATE TIMES TO ME IN MY 900 MI I HAVE ON THE VEHICLE. THE PEDAL IS TOTALLY STIFF AND THE BRAKES WILL NOT APPLY. THIS MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED OVER THIS PAST WEEKEND AND I ALMOST RAN OVER TWO PEOPLE THAT WERE ON FOOT BEHIND THE VEHICLE AS I WAS ALLOWED TO ROLL UNCONTROLLED BACKWARDS UNTIL I SMASHED INTO A ROCK APPROX 30' FROM WHERE I WANTED TO STOP. THANKFULLY THE ROCK WAS LARGE ENOUGH TO STOP THE JEEP SINCE I WAS ON A PRETTY SERIOUS HILL AND NO CLUE HOW FAR I WOULD HAVE ROLLED UNTIL MOST CERTAINLY A TREE WOULD HAVE HAD TO STOPPED ME. IN THE STOPPING, I BROKE OFF A REAR SHOCK AS I HIT THE ROCK. I'VE BEEN DRIVING JEEP VEHICLES FOR OVER 25 YEARS. I CONSIDER MYSELF A VERY CAPABLE OFF-ROAD DRIVER AND VERY COMFORTABLE IN THE SITUATION & VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN IN THIS SAME OFF-ROAD SITUATION HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF TIMES. THESE 3 EVENTS

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4 DR X UNLIMITED 4WD. I SAW THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THE VEHICLES STALLING MANUFACTURED BEFORE JAN 2007. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED I BELIEVE IN MAY OF 2007 AND THE STALL HAS HAPPENED TWICE. RADIO GOES OFF, ENGINE DIED AND ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON AND APPEARED TO RESET. IT'S A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED BECAUSE I WAS MOVING AND STILL IN GEAR. IT ONLY LASTS ABOUT 2 SECONDS BUT DURING THE TIME IT IS DOING THIS THE POWER STEERING IS NOT FUNCTIONAL.(I ONLY KNOW THIS BECAUSE I WAS ON A CURVED FREEWAY ON RAMP DURING ONE OF THE TIMES IT DID THIS.) I AM ONLY FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT APPEARS THE RECALL (G25 I BELIEVE) DOES NOT SEEM TO COVER THE FULL RANGE OF DATES FOR AFFECTED VEHICLES AS MINE WAS MANUFACTURED IN MAY OF 2007. *TR

JUST ENTERED ONTO EXPRESSWAY AND HIT A BUMP AND JEEP VIOLENTLY SHOOK AND HAD TO COME TO ALMOST A COMLETE STOP TO REGAIN CONTROL. JEEP IS AT DEALER NOW. THEY THINK STEERING STABILIZER PROBLEM. JEEP WRANGLER HAS STOCK TIRES AND WHEELS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES SEVERELY AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE STEERING STABILIZER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING 2007 JEEP WRANGLER ENGINE STALLS LEAVING CAR WITHOUT POWER TO BRAKE OR STEER UNTIL RESTARTED. *TR

MY JEEP HAS STALLED ON ME THREE TIMES TOTAL IN ABOUT 9 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. EACH TIME, I HAVE BEEN ON A ROAD TRIP AND DRIVING FOR AN EXTENSIVE PERIOD OF TIME. THE RADIO GOES OUT, THE JEEP SHUTS OFF, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH COME ON AND WITHIN ABOUT 3 SECONDS IT TURNS ITSELF ON AGAIN. I AM TAKING IT IN FOR SERVICE TO HAVE THE TIPM REPROGRAMMED WHICH I HOPE WILL CORRECT THE SITUATION. *JB

2007 JEEP WRANGER UNLIMITED X 4 DOOR ENGINE STALL. 5 OCCURRENCES TOTAL, 4 PRIOR TO COMPLETION OF TIPM REPROGRAM AS PART OF NHTSA AND CHRYSTLER RECALL G25 IN JULY 2007 1 ADDITIONAL OCCURRENCE IN AUGUST 2007. *TR

LONG CRANK/START AND LOW ENGINE IDLE (NEAR STALLING). DEALER SAID THEY FIXED (AT 300 MILES, BUT PROBLEM PERSISTS AFTER BEING IN SHOP ONE WEEK AGO (TOTAL OF 900 MILES). CHRYSLER CORP IS NOT INTERESTED IN TELLING CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE PROBLEMS BEFORE YOU BUY. THEY SELL YOU THE VEHICLE AND GET YOUR MONEY, THEN TRY TO FIX, BUT THEY HAVE MY MONEY NOW AND COULD CARE LESS. *JB

WHEN DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP, IT HAS 2X, COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE GOING ABOUT 70 MPH IN TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT TO BONDY'S JEEP DOTHAN, LOOKED AT BY SERVICE DEPART. AND GIVEN BACK - NOTHING WRONG. THE SECOND TIME, RETURNED TO BONDY'S, SOME WIRING HARNESSES WERE REPLACED. THEN RECALL WAS ISSUED, TOOK IT BACK-THEY FIXED RECALL. CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUES, BEEN TO BONDY'S EIGHT TIMES. IT HAS NOT SHUT COMPLETELY OFF AGAIN THAT WAS PRETTY SCARY - BUT THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP WITH ERRORS AND I LOSE POWER EVERYTHING (AIR CONDITIONER, SIGNALS, RADIO, ENTIRE CONTROL PANEL, ETC?). THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN IT SHUT OFF COMPLETELY, SO MY CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IF I WERE TO PULL OUT ONTO A HIGHWAY, THAT COULD BE IT. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT ACTION I NEED TO TAKE. FOLLOWING IS A TIMELINE OF WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANYONE FROM JEEP TO CALL ME TO HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ONLY BEEN WORKING THIRD PARTY WITH MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER, WHO HAS BEEN GREAT, BUT HAS NOT YET SOLVED ANY ISSUES. 4/14/2007 JEEP CUTS COMPLETELY OFF WHILE GOING 70 MPH ON HWY 431 ALL CLUSTER LIGHTS LIT UP. 4/15/2007 JEEP CUTS OFF COMPLETELY AGAIN PULLING OUT OF THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT. 4/17/2007 TOOK IT TO BONDY'S. GOT IT BACK ON 4/19/2007. SERVICE DEPT STATED IT WAS FIXED. 4/26/2007 ALL CLUSTERS LIT UP LIKE BEFORE BUT DID NOT SHUT OFF. NO AIR CONDITIONER, RADIO, NOTHING ELECTRIC WORKED. TOOK TO BONDY'S. 7/11/2007 SAME THING 7/12/2007 RECALL RECEIVED BY MAIL, TOOK TO BONDY'S. 8/

2007 JEEP WRANGLER INTERMITTENTLY STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AT IDLE. RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED TO REPROGRAM PCM BUT PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. *JB

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN WINDY CONDITIONS OR WHEN PASSING TRUCKS ON THE HIGHWAY EITHER FROM THE FRONT OR REAR, THE HOOD WILL MOVE UP AND SLAM AGAINST THE STOP. IT IS SO HARD YOU CAN SEE THE MOVEMENT AND HEAR THE HOOD HIT THE SAFETY CATCH. IT WILL DO THIS ANYTIME THERE IS A BUFFETING WIND FROM THE FRONT OR SIDE. I AM CONCERNED THE THE HOOD WILL FAIL AND COME OFF AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD WITH A DISASTROUS FORCE. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING UP AN OFF ROAD TRAIL OUT OF TELLURIDE, COLORADO, WHEN THE JEEP SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER, MANY DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATED THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE ENGINE, HOWEVER, WAS STILL IDLING AT APPROXIMATELY 1000 RPM'S, HOWEVER WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED, THE RPM'S WOULD NOT RISE, THE ENGINE'S RPMS WOULD NOT AUDIBLY INCREASE AND NO POWER WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE WHEELS. THIS CAUSED THE JEEP TO CEASE ANY FORWARD MOVEMENT AND FORCE ME TO ROLL BACKWARD TO A SMALL PULL OUT ON THE SINGLE LANE, MOUNTAIN-SIDE ROAD. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE WITH THE KEYED IGNITION, WAITED APPROXIMATELY 2 MINTUTES AND RESTARTED THE JEEP. UPON RESTART, THE JEEP REGAINED ALL NORMAL FUNCTION, ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS WHICH HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY ILLUMINATED (MINUS THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT) HAD SHUT OFF. THE JEEP WAS TURNED AROUND EVENTUALLY AND DRIVEN BACK DOWN THE MOUNTAIN. HAD THIS FAILURE HAPPENED ON A DIFFERENT PASS--ONE MUCH STEEPER AND WITH NO CUTOUTS SUCH AS "BLACK BEAR PASS" (WHICH IS NEARBY AND WHERE WERE HEADING), THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. IT IS THIS AUTHOR'S OPINION THIS "STALL BUG", AT LEAST ON MY VEHICLE, IS ATTRIBUTED TO THE TRANSFER CASE AND/OR TRANSMISSION HEATING UP. THIS IS ATTRIBUTED TO THESE FACTS: A SMELL WAS NOTICED JUST A SHORT TIME BEFORE THE ENGINE QUIT. THE TRANSFER CASE WAS IN "4HI" (FOUR WHEEL DRIVE - HIGH RANGE) PRIOR TO THE ENGINE QUITTING. AFTER THE ENGINE STALLED, THE TRANSFER CASE WAS PUT IN "4LO" (FOUR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE ODOMETER DISCLOSURE ON THE VEHICLE WAS 84 MILES AND THAT THE CONTACT WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ODOMETER DISCLOSURE WAS 10 MILES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,019 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS INAPPLICABLE.

ON FOUR OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED AND ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS LOST POWER FOR ABOUT 1.5 TO 2 SECONDS. EVERYTHING THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. WHEN THIS OCCURS, ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON AS THOUGH THE IGNITION KEY WAS IN THE "ON" POSITION, AS IT IS JUST BEFORE STARTING THE CAR, THEN ALL RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS IS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SHOULD A DRIVER BE IN THE MIDST OF AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER DURING ONE OF THESE OCCURRENCES, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN DECEMBER , AND THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE ADDITIONAL TIMES, THE LAST BEING THE DATE LISTED ON THIS COMPLAINT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE HAS INFORMED ME THAT HE NOTED ALL FOUR REPORTED INCIDENTS IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE ENGINE STALLING. THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT DATE SHE COULD SCHEDULE IS FOR JULY 23, 2007. SHE FELT THAT THE WAIT TIME WAS UNREASONABLE. NO FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED AT THIS TIME. THE NHTSA RECALL # WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 383 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS INAPPLICABLE.

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH JEEP LOST POWER FOR ABOUT 4 SECONDS. DASH LIGHTS FLASHED ON, RADIO TURNED OFF, THEN POWER RESTORED ON ITS OWN. VERY SCARY.*AK

THE 2007 FOUR DOOR JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHUDDERING IN THE FRONT END WHEN TRAVELLING OVER BUMPS AT SPEEDS OVER 30 MPH. THE SHUDDERING WA SSO VIOLENT THAT THE VEHICLE GOT PULLED TO THE SIDE, FORCING ME TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL. THE DEALER CHECKED THE VEHICLE, AND NOTED NO PROBLEMS, HOWEVER, THIS ISSUE PERSISTED. I WAS CONVINCED THEREWAS SOME KIND OF ENGINEERING FLAW. *AK

JUNE 22, 2007 WA S THE FIRST INCIDENT. THE NEWLY PURCHASED 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. THE ENGINE SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF. MY WIFE HAD TO TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION, THEN RESTART THE ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT AT THE CAR DEALER. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT THE CHRYSLER TECHNICIAN DETERMINE D THE PROBLEM TO BE THE FUEL INJECTION WIRING HARNESS. IT WAS REPLACED. ON JULY 7, 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SHUT OFF AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THIS WAS A 100 DEGREE DAY. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. *AK

SINCE THE DAY I DROVE THE 2007 4-DOOR JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA OFF THE DEALER'S LOT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER EVERY TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON AND RESTART THE CAR. I NORMALLY COULD NOT DRIVE MORE THAN 5 MILES UNTIL I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO RESTART THE CAR. AFTER READING ABOUT ALL OF THE STALLING PROBLEMS PEOPLE WERE HAVING I WA SCONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THOSE RIDING WITH ME. THE STALLING SEEMED TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. I TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ONCE AND THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPGRADE, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY OTHER PROBLEMS. THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON. THE DEALERSHIP KNEW OF NO PROBLEMS BUT AFTER DOING A TINY BIT OF RESEARCH ON THE NET, I HAVE FOUND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.*AK

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP UNLIMITED X. IT STALLED TWICE WITH ONLY 4000 MILES. ONCE AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH AND THE OTHER AT AROUND 25MPH. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE LIT UP AND I LOST LIGHTING FROM THE OUTSIDE. WHEN I TRIED TO START BACK UP BOTH TIMES, IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT I HAVE SEEN OTHER SIMILAR REPORTS FROM JEEPFORUM.COM.

MY 07 JEEP WRANGLER HAS STALLED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. 3 OF THE STALLS WERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 1 WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THERE IS NO WARNING OR SIGN THAT THE VEHICLE WILL STALL. JUST, ALL OF A SUDDEN, I NOTICE THE LOSS OF POWER, AND LOOKING AT MY INSTRUMENT PANEL, I SEE THAT ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ARE LIT. THE STALL LASTS JUST A COUPLE OF SECONDS, THEN THE VEHICLE RETURNS TO NORMAL OPERATION WITHOUT ANYTHING BE DONE BY ME.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE FAILURE, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER. THE DEALER RESET THE COMPUTER, BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 19,000. UPDATED 07/25/07 *TR

WHEN DRIVING ENGINE WILL JUST STALL, IT SEEM TO BE ABOUT EVERY TWO TO THREE WEEKS. THIS HAS HAPPEN AT LEST 9 TIMES, AND NOT AT THE SAME SPEEDS,ONE TIME I ALMOST HIT THE BACK OF A TRUCK (LOST OF POWER BRAKES). IT HAS ALSO BEEN AT THE DEALER 5 TIMES. EACH TIME THEY SAY WE GOT IT NOW, YOU SHOULD BE ALL SET NOW(NOT). THIS 4 DOOR JEEP SUCKS. MAYBE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE WHEN A FEW PEOPLE DIE IN AN CRASH, I HOPE NOT, BUT IT WILL HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED ENGINE STALLED ON ROAD WHILE TRAVELING AT 55 MPH. DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, SPEEDO READ ZERO. LOST ALL POWER. ENGINE STARTED BACK UP ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO LATER. HAPPENED AT ABOUT 3,200 MILES ON ODOMETER. NO ONE CAN FIX IT BECAUSE THE STALL CAN NOT BE REPLICATED. *TR

ELECTRONIC CONTROL LIGHT APPEARED. ENGINE STALLED WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING PLACE CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL ELECTRONICS AS WELL AS POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. DUE TO SIZE AND WEIGHT OF VEHICLE, WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, VERY NARROWLY MISSED HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE BEFORE VEHICLE COULD BE STOPPED. AREA WAS HEAVILY POPULATED WITH PEDESTRIANS. THANKFULLY NONE WERE PRESENT DIRECTLY IN MY PATH. VEHICLE GOING TO DEALER TOMORROW HOWEVER AFTER MUCH INTERNET RESEARCH IT APPEARS CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS OF THE CAROLINA'S ON I-40 AT SPEED. VEHICLE SHUT DOWN FOR A SPLIT SECOND. ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, CRUISE CONTROL TURNED OFF AND VEHICLE SLOWED. VEHICLE RESTARTED ON IT?S OWN. SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, THIS TIME ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES PER HOUR. (REFERENCE #10192459) THIS IS NOT SAFE!! MY WIFE WILL NOT LET ME TRANSPORT OUR KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. GOING INTO DEALER ASAP! *TR

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED HAS NOW STALLED TWICE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE STALL IS MOMENTARY, APPROXIMATELY TWO SECONDS, AND THE VEHICLE QUICKLY RESUMES NORMAL OPERATION. THERE IS AN INITIAL "LURCH", THEN ALL OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP, THEN OPERATION RESUMES. IT SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT IS VERY ALARMING WHEN IT HAPPENS. ON ONE OF MY TWO OCCURRENCES I WAS TRAVELING AT 70MPH ON A FREEWAY, WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER MY FIRST OCCURRENCE I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM TO MY DEALER AND THE RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WAS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CRUISE CONTROL (OBVIOUSLY THEY DID NOT INTERPRET MY DESCRIPTION PROPERLY). *TR

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, RADIO SUDDENLY WENT OFF, ALL OF THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP, AND I LOST ALL POWER TO THE CAR. THIS LASTED LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO REALIZE THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND SHIFT THE AUTOMATIC TRANS. INTO NEUTRAL. THE CAR REGAINED POWER WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, I SHIFTED BACK INTO DRIVE, AND WENT LESS THAN A MILE TO THE DEALER. THEY PUT IT DIRECTLY ON THE ANALYZER, NO FAULT WAS DETECTED. IT WAS A CLEAR DAY AND MY HEADLIGHTS WERE ON.

JEEP 2007 WRANGLER, ENGINE STALL SATURDAY JUNE 23, 2007, SOME TIME AROUND 10:30 - 11:00 A.M. WHILE DRIVING THE JEEP ON FREEWAY AT 62 TO 63 MILES PER HOUR, WITH OUT WARNING ENGINE FELT LIKE IT CUT OUT, CAR THEN STARTED SLOWING DOWN, INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WERE COMING ON, NOTICED TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER DROPPING OFF, DID NOT HAVE TO RESTART ENGINE CAME BACK TO LIFE ON ITS OWN, THEN THE DASH LIGHTS STARTED GOING OUT, WHAT SEEMED LIKE ONE BY ONE TILL THEY WERE ALL OFF, THIS ALL HAPPENED WITH IN SECONDS. CIRCUMSTANCES: 5,732 MILES ON ODOMETER, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, DRIVING WITH FOOT ON ACCELERATOR (CRUISE OFF), GAS TANK JUST OVER HALF FULL, 71 DEGREES OUT SIDE, VERY HUMID DAY, RAINED PREVIOUS NIGHT CAR PARKED OUTSIDE.

SIDE NOTE RADIO WAS ON DO NOT REMEMBER IF IT WENT OFF OR NOT.

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FROM LOW TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL, BRAKING AND STEERING. THANKFULLY, NO ONE WAS HURT BUT HAD THIS BEEN IN TRAFFIC, AROUND A SHARP TURN OR IN THE MOUNTAINS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CASES OF THIS IN VARIOUS JEEP FORUMS AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE IF DAIMLER CHRYLSER DOESN'T FEEL THE PRESSURE TO FIND A FIX.*AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC IS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 12,900 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,650.
