I was pulling into the gas station to get some gas. I'm used to use a 2-ft drive so what I could not lift my left foot to put pressure on the brake I used my right foot. It slipped off the brake and after the accelerator and I hit a small Pole stopping me from going into the gas station front door. Just could have been raised up to a work accident I had a couple weeks prior.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
When I'm driving down the road my car won't shut off. I have to pull over to the side of the road turn my key completely off and take it out put it back in and start it. It takes a couple of times to get it started as I have to move the key back and forth and then it will start. I did a check engine light check. And it is saying something about a Anti-Theft ignition problem. My headlights stay on all the time and blink when it is shut off.

The vehicle was towed to the residence, where the tire was inspected, and the contact became aware that the tire had blown out at the sidewall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the defective tire was shipped to the manufacturer for inspection. The manufacturer later informed the contact that the tire failure had been caused by a pinhole that gradually deflated the tire until the tire had the blowout; however, the contact stated that the TPMS did not indicate a loss of tire air pressure prior to the blowout, and that the failure had occurred abruptly. The manufacturer offered to partially reimburse the cost of the tire. The contact purchased a new tire from the dealer and replaced the tire himself.

Vehicle will not start randomly. The battery has been checked, the relays and fuses have been checked, the starter has been replaced, and the fuel pump and fuel filer have been checked. The issue continues sporadically and leaves the driver stranded. There is an known issue with the ignition switch on these Jeeps as my 2008 Jeep Cherokee was recalled for this reason but there is no recall for the 2007 for this same reason.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When I am driving, all of the lights on my dash come on. Seatbelt, check engine, brakes, low tire pressure etc. The stay on for a couple of seconds. Then EVERYTHING turns off for about half a second. Gas gauge, rpm, speedometer all go down to zero, which is how it is when I turn the jeep off. While I'm still driving and going 45 mph! Then every thing turns back on. It happened about 5 months ago once. Then today it happened about 15 times as I drove home from my mother's house, which is about 7-9 miles from my house.
