ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT AROUND 70 MPH AND THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN JERKED FORWARD AND SLOWED WAY DOWN. ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS WENT ON, THE CAR WENT DEAD FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THEN STARTED GOING AGAIN LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AGAIN, AND IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THIS JEEP. THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN BRAKE PROBLEMS TWICE... ONE OF WHICH CAUSED A CRASH. THE QUESTION ASKING "OEM" BELOW... I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
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.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER SERVICE AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHILE TRAVELING HOME, THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE AT HIGHWAY SPEED (55 MPH). WHEN THE VEHICLE (2007 JEEP WRANGLER) STALLED I LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING ELECTRICTRONICS AND LIGHTS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS TO BRING IT IN IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I NOTICED ON YOUR WEBSITE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM SO I WANTED TO REPORT IT. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED BUT A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAD JUST EXITED THE FREEWAY AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 28 MILES AND WHILE GETTING OF THE RAMP INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC I HAD A CPMPLETE LOSS OF POWER LASTING A FEW MINUTES. NOTHING WORKED, BRAKES AND STEERING INCLUDED. I MANAGED TO ROLL OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT AND SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND MY JEEP RESTARTED LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY ALONG WITH A PRINT OUT OF THIS INVESTIGATION. NO MILES WERE PUT ON MY JEEP BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T RE-CREATE THE INCIDENT AND STATED THEY RESET A POWER STEERING CHIP THAT THE MANUFATURER RECOMMENDED. THE STALL HAS NOT REOCCURED IN THREE WEEKS BUT TONIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME MY STABILITY CONTROLL LIGHT CAME ON AND WONT SHUT OFF. I WASN'T EVEN MOVING WHEN IT CAME ON I WAS AT A LIGHT. I HAVE ALSO HAD EPISODES OF MY STABILITY CONTROLL COMING ON AND LOCKING MY BRAKED ON DRY ROADS. AGAIN THE DEALER FOUND NOTHING WRONG.

2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR. STALLS. LOSES ALL ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL POWER. HAS HAPPENED ON FIVE OCCASIONS. ON THE LAST OCCASION I WAS IN A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND WAS ALMOST BROADSIDED WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I WAS CAUGHT IN THE ONCOMING FLOW OF TRAFFIC. BRANDON, FLORIDA DEALERSHIP DENIES THAT SUCH AN OCCURRENCE IS POSSIBLE OR REPAIRABLE BECAUSE THEY "ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM." VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL.

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

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH MY 2007 JEEP RUBICON UL QUICKLY SLOWED TO ABOUT 30 MPH. I WAS STILL PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL WITH NO RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE FELT LIKE THE ESP WAS ON, AND SWERVED A LITTLE. THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH AND FLASHED. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE, AND ME DEALER LOOKED AT ME JEEP AND SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THIS IS CERTAINLY A PROBLEM FOR ME. I HAD A FULLY LOADED LOG TRUCK BEHIND ME WHEN THE JEEP SLOWED, AND WAS LUCKY THAT HE WAS ABLE TO AVOID CRUSHING ME. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, SHUT DOWN THE IGNITION AND RESTARTED. THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE JEEP RAN NORMALLY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS FROM IT. FROM ABOUT 2000 MILES TILL NOW 12000 MILES I HAVE HAD STALLING PROBLEMS. USUALLY WHILE DOING 65 OR BETTER ON THE INTERSTATE. IT HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT TIMES NOT PREDICTABLE AT ALL. I BROUGHT IT TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND CALLED A FEW EXTRA. NO ONE HAS HEARD OF IT AND SAID THAT IT CHECKS OUT FINE. I RECENTLY MOVED TO ALASKA FOR MY CAREER AND DROVE THE JEEP UP HERE. IT STALLED THREE TIMES ON THE WAY UP HERE. ALL AT SPEEDS 55 OR HIGHER. AND IN OREGON THE JEEP BEGAN MAKING LOUD NOISES AT LOW SPEEDS. I BROUGHT IT IN THERE. THEY SAID THERE WAS AN ABS RECALL AND RESET IT. NO EXPLANATION FOR THE STALLING. THE STALLING AND NOISE STILL CONTINUES. FIRST WEEK IN ALASKA MY PARK QUIT WORKING. 5 DAYS LATER WORKS FINE. DEALERSHIP HAS NO ANSWER OF ANY OF THE PROBLEMS. TO THEM IT WORKED FINE. IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN AND UNFORTUNATELY IT WONT DO IT FOR THEM. I EVEN SUGGESTED THEY KEEP IT FOR A FEW DAYS BUT THEY WOULDN'T. I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY SAID IT NEEDS TO BE DIAGNOSED WITH A PROBLEM BEFORE THEY CAN HELP ME OUT. I READ SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH OTHER OWNERS ON A FORUM AND THEY SAID TO CONTACT YOU GUYS.
