ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SEAT BELTS
2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED. THE FIRST TIME IN EARLY MARCH 2007 IT WAS POURING RAIN AND I WENT THROUGH A BIG PUDDLE WHICH SENT WATER UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE CAR CUT OFF AND ALL THE DASH LIGHT LIT UP, AND THE SEAT BELT WENT OFF. THE CAR STARTED BACK UP IN ABOUT 2 SECONDS BY ITSELF. I HAVE ASSUMED THE WATER SHORTED OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THOUGHT NOTHING ELSE OF IT. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON JUNE 10, 2007. WE WERE SLOWING DOWN AT STOP LIGHT AND IT JUST CUT OUT. THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON , THE ANTI-SKID LIGHT AND ANOTHER RED LIGHT) I THOUGH THE CAR BEHIND US REAR ENDED US BECAUSE THERE WAS A LITTLE JERK , REAR TIRES LOCKED. WE HAD TO RESTART TO CAR. IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND WE CONTINUED ON. I HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE DEALER YET. I WAS RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND SAW THERE HAD BEEN 53 REPORTS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING SO I FIGURED I SHOULD REPORT IT ALSO. *AK
