ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
I WAS LEAVING WORK ON 3/15/07 AND GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ABOUT 65 MPH IN THE RAIN WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I WAS DOING NOTHING BUT DRIVING WHEN THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF THE GAUGES WENT NUTS. I DRIVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND IT HAS ONLY 2000 MILES ON IT. I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR EVEN KILLED BY THIS EVENT. TODAY ON MY WAY BACK TO WORK THE JEEP WAS SHAKING BADLY LOTS OF VIBRATION AT HIWAY SPEEDS. ONCE AGAIN I JUST BOUGHT IT BACK IN DECEMBER AND NOW IT SHUTS OFF AND IS ONE BIG VIBRATOR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I WILL BE TAKING THE JEEP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I WILL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THEY WILL FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT SINCE THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON OR ANY OTHER SYMPTONS. I WOULD LIKE THIS INVESTAGATED. I HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE A RECALL BEFORE TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FROM THIS. BUT GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPPEDS AND YOUR ENGINE SHUTTING OFF AND HAVEING NO CONTROL OVER YOUR VEHICLE IS A PERFECT RECIPE FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL ON WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY SLOWED DOWN. I MOVED MY FOOT TO THE ACCELERATOR AND FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SUBSTANTIALLY LESS POWER THAN NORMAL. WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWED, THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH AND THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER PULLING OFF THE ROAD AND CYCLING THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I SEARCHED JEEPFORUM.COM AND FOUND 3 OTHER INSTANCES OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE HAVING ISSUES. *JB

AFTER A SHORT OUTAGE, ELECTRICAL POWER WILL BE RESTORED AND THE ENGINE WILL RESTART. WAS VERY SCARED BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENED YOU HAVE NO CONTROL. *NM

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL:AUTOMATIC (ASC)
WHEN USING A HIGHWAY ON OR OFF RAMP, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL PROGRAM ENGAGES SUDDENLY CAUSING A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND GRINDING BRAKES. THIS ISSUE NORMALLY OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON AN INCLINE AND IS WELL WITHIN SAFE SPEEDS FOR THE GIVEN ROAD. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVEN WHEN THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL PROGRAM IS TURNED OFF. *NM
