ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING TO WORK, AUTOMATIC, AND THE ENGINE STALLED ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, RADIO WENT OUT ALONG WITH POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL BUT I WAS IN DRIVE. IT LASTED ABOUT 2 SECONDS THEM RESTARTED ITSELF AND WAS "NORMAL" FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THIS COULD OF BEEN A HUGE PROBLEM IF I WERE ON A STEEP HILL (UP OR DOWN) OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, IF YOU WANT TO SEE MORE GO TO ANY JEEP JK UNLIMITED 4 DOOR FORUM AND DO A SEARCH FOR THE "STALL BUG". *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AT ABOUT 30MPH ON A BUSY, 4 LANE STREET WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAS PEDAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE, ALL OF THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE JEEP WENT DEAD. I ROLLED TO A STOP (WHILE BEING HONKED AT BY THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME), SHIFTED TO PARK, WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THEN RESTARTED THE JEEP. AT THAT POINT, THE VEHICLE SEEMED NORMAL AGAIN. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALER FOR THIS ISSUE, WHICH I KNOW HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY MANY OTHER 2007 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT
I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. THE LOSS OF POWER LASTED ONLY A FEW SECONDS AND THEN POWERED BACK UP. THE ENGINE ALSO STOPPED DURING THIS TIME. IT WAS EXTREMELY ALARMING AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM UNSURE WHAT THEY DID TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. *JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I HIT A TREE HEAD ON AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS RESULTED IN INJURIES TO MY FACE AND CHEST. THE FORCE WAS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS BENT AND THE STEERING COLUMN IS BEING REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER REPAIR AT JAKE TOMLINSON & CO, 13810 LINCOLN WAY, AUBURN, CA 530-885-0183. *JB

WHEELS, SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 300. THERE WAS A DEEP CHANNEL THAT WAS IN THE OUTER RING OF THE WHEEL . THE SPACE WAS LARGE AND IT COLLECTED WATER AND DEBRIS. WHILE DRIVING ALL OF THE DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD WAS IN THE WHEEL, AND THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE IN A WEIRD WAY. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 55 MPH THE WHEEL LAUNCHED A PIECE OF DEBRIS. THE DEALER AGREED THAT THERE WAS A MAJOR DESIGN PROBLEM, AND TOLD HIM JUST TO BE CAREFUL WHILE DRIVING AT ELEVATED SPEEDS. DAIMLER/CHRYSLER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PART TO SERVICE THE DEFECT. DURING TESTING OF THE VEHICLE THE MANUFACTURER NOTICED THAT THE REAR COIL SPRINGS WERE WEAK. *AK UPDATED 07/06/07.*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY
I TOOK MY 2004 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE BACK TO THE DEALER BROWN'S JEEP IN MEDFORD NY BECAUSE IT WOULD CONTINUOUSLY STALL AND THE YELLOW DASHBOARD LIGHT WOULD STAY ON. THE PROBLEM BEGAN AT APPROX 50,000 MILES AND THE DEALER NEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS; A THROTTLE SENSOR ON A CIRCUIT BOARD. THE SUV WOULD RACE AND BUCK AND WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IT SEEMED ODD THAT THEY NEW WHAT IT WAS RIGHT AWAY AND HAPPENED TO A RELATIVELY LATE MODEL VEHICLE. AND NOW I SAW AN ARTICLE IN THE NEWSPAPER ABOUT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATING STALLING OF JEEP SUVS. IT COST ME APPROX. $400-$500 OF THE $1150 I PAID FOR THE SERVICE VISIT ATTRIBUTABLE TO FIXING THE STALLING ISSUE. PERHAPS THE JEEPS YOU ARE INVESTIGATING ARE NOT THE ONLY YEARS INVOLVED. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE - TWICE MY JEEP WRANGLER X 4X4 STALLED AND LOST POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING 65-70 MPH ON A MAJOR FREEWAY IN HIGH TRAFFIC. BOTH CASES ARE VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL. FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN FEB. 17, 2007 AND THE 2ND TIME WAS TODAY, APRIL 23RD. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30-40 MINUTES BEFORE THE POWER LOSS OCCURRED. THE CAR LOST POWER, JERKING LIKE IT HAD BEEN DOWN SHIFTED INCORRECTLY. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON, THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND THE GAS BELL RANG. WITHIN 3-5 SECONDS THE CAR JERKED SHARPLY AS THE POWER CAME BACK ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAD "UPLOADED SOME NEW SOFTWARE". I ASKED IF THEY HAD RECEIVED ANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS TYPE OF ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND WAS TOLD NO. I AM BRINGING IT BACK IN AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING. WITH NO WAY TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY, I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN HIT BY THE 18 WHEELER THAT WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME DURING THE FIRST INCIDENT AND THE FAST MOVING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME TODAY. THERE WERE TWO OTHER ELECTRICAL INCIDENTS THAT HAPPENED DURING THE LAST WEEK IN MARCH. ON MARCH 28TH, I STARTED THE CAR EVERYTHING WORKED AS NORMAL BUT THE RADIO WOULDN'T TURN ON AND THE CLOCK WASN'T ON. AFTER BEING ON THE ROAD FOR AN HOUR THE RADIO AND CLOCKED CAME ON BY THEMSELVES. ON MARCH 29TH, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER I HAD BEEN DRIVING 10 MINUTES - THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE SEAT - IT WENT OFF ABOUT 40 MINUTES LATER. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT THAT DAY TO BRING THE CAR IN ON SAT. MARCH 31ST, WHEN I GOT THERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE TECH'S THAT HANDLE THE ELECTRICAL WORK AREN'T IN ON SATURDAYS. I WILL HAVE THEM LOOK AT THIS TOMORROW TOO. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET, I PULLED INTO A LEFT-HAND TURN LANE AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. I WAS ABOUT SIX CARS BACK IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC. WHILE STOPPED I FELT A SLIGHT ENGINE SHUDDER AND THEN THE ENGINE STALLED. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND STARTED THE ENGINE BACK UP. THE DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT AND I PROCEEDED ON MY WAY. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 3,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS VERY CONCERNING TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF SUCH HEAVY TRAFFIC IN A NEW VEHICLE. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW TO BE CHECKED. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH (CRUISE CONTROL ENABLED) THE CAR STARTED SURGING AS IF SOMEONE WERE PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL. IT DID THIS FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS THEN THE ENGINE DIED. I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE SECOND I PRESSED ON THE CLUTCH I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKE FUNCTION. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND CARS STARTED PASSING ME ON EITHER SIDE. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY LED TO AN ACCIDENT. I WILL BE TAKING IT IN TO THE DEALER ASAP. *JB
