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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH ON A LEVEL ROAD; THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER COMPLETELY FAILED. JUST AS QUICKLY AS THE ENGINE/ELECTRICAL CUT OUT (WITHIN 1-2 SECONDS) ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED ON ITS OWN. WHAT MADE THIS EVENT A DANGER TO ME AND POSSIBLY OTHERS ON THE ROAD IS WHEN THE ENGINE DIED I ALSO LOST POWER STEERING. THIS CAUSING ME TO MOVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC (I WAS ROUNDING A SWEEPING CORNER AT THE TIME). WHEN THE ENGINE RESTARTED IT CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO IMMEDIATELY COME BACK WHICH IN TURN CAUSED A QUICK JERK BACK INTO MY LANE OF TRAVEL. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MANEUVER GIVEN THE TYPE OF VEHICLE THIS IS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MANY 2007 JEEP WRANGLERS. *JB

VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER, VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGES
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. ON THREE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING 25MPH, THE SNOW FROZE THE LINKAGE ON THE VEHICLE AND THE WIPERS DIDN'T OPERATE NORMALLY. SNOW ALSO ENTERS THE HEATER VENTILATION SCREEN AT THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS A CLOSED CHAMBER WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND THE LINKAGE IS CONTAINED. THE SNOW FREEZES INTO A SOLID MASS WHERE THE LINKAGE/ WIPERS WILL NOT WORK UNTIL YOU PUT SOME FORM OF HEAT INTO THE CHAMBER TO MELT THE ICE. THE RAIN ALSO MAKES CONTACT WITH THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ATTACHED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE ALTHOUGH THEY STATED THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED IN OTHER VEHICLES. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED HIM TO CONTACT NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,100.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THREE TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED THE ENGINE STALLED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TWICE I WAS CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN PASS AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, AND ONCE I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION GOING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. ALL THREE TIMES THE ENGINE CUT OFF, ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, AND THE MOMENTUM OF THE CAR STARTED THE ENGINE AFTER ABOUT TWO SECONDS. THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO NEED TO MAKE IMMEDIATE STOPS OR TURNS WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF. THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED ABOUT 3,000 MILES APART.*AK

I WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH AND ALL OF SUDDEN THE ENGINE CUT OFF AND ALL DASH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND WITHIN 3-4 SECONDS THE ENGINE STARTED AND RAN FINE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2 MONTH OLD JEEP WRANGLER 4-DOOR UNLIMITED SAHARA ON THE NJ TURNPIKE DOING 65 MPH THE POWER TO THE CALL TOTALLY SHUT OFF AND ALL ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. I COULD NOT STEER OR BRAKE. AFTER APPROX. 5-10 SECONDS, THE POWER CAME BACK ON WITHOUT ME DOING ANYTHING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER (MCDONAGH IN EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ) TWO TIMES AND THEY TOLD ME THEY RAN ALL THE TESTS AND THAT THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THEY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE NOR REPLACE THE CAR. THE CAR IS 2 MONTHS OLD WITH 5,000 MILES ON IT. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING ON A CANYON ROAD AT AROUND 50 MPH THE JK WRANGLER STOPPED RESPONDING. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT STALL. THE PROBLEM LASTED FOR 3-4 SECONDS BEFORE SELF CORRECTING. I WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF ROAD , AND THE VEHICLE WAS LINED UP WELL SO THERE WAS NOT A CRASH.*AK

THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE JK, LOST ENGINE POWER TWICE WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, AND THE ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE SHUT OFF FOR 3-5 SECONDS AND CAME BACK ON. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE FOR THE GAS PEDAL WENT INTO THE DEFAULT MODE, WHERE IT WON'T GO OVER 45 MPH ,AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SHUT OFF AT THIS TIME ALSO. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT 55-60 MPH. ALSO, THE COMPASS SHUT OFF ALSO AT A DIFFERENT TIME. EACH TIME I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE JEEP , AND EVERY THING WORKED AGAIN. *AK
