ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY
THE 2007 4 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER DIED AT A LIGHT AFTER I HAD IT ABOUT ONE MONTH. THROUGHOUT MY OWNERSHIP THE STARTER OR IGNITION , I DIDN'T KNOW WHICH, STUCK WHEN TRYING TO START IT PERIODICALLY. THE BIGGEST CONCERN WAS THAT LAST WEEKEND WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70 MPH THE ENGINE GOT REALLY LOUD FOR A MINUTE AND THEN ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLEW ON. I BELIEVED THAT THE ENGINE HAD STARTED TO STALL BUT THEN CAUGHT. I TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY COULDN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM, RAN DIAGNOSTICS, AND THEN SEARCHED THE JEEP DATABASE AND FOUND NOTHING. IF YOU INVESTIGATED THE INTERNET THERE WERE DOZENS OF PEOPLE WHO WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. TWO PEOPLE NY AND MINNESOTA CONTACTED ME AND SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE THROTTLE CONTROL. ONE OF THEM STATED THAT HIS DEALERSHIP HAD CALLED THE JEEP HELP LINE AND GOT IT FIXED. THEREFORE, I KNEW THAT IT SHOULD BE IN THEIR DATABASE - BUT IT WASN'T SHOWING WHEN SEARCHED AS BEING DONE BY DEALERSHIPS. I WAS SCARED THAT ONE OF THESE TIMES WHILE I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO DIE AND STEERING WILL GO OUT. ON THE JEEP WEBSITES, NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE ACTUALLY HAD TO RESTART THEIR ENGINES WHILE DRIVING.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
VEHICLE: 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X 4X4 . I WAS DRIVING IN 4-WD-LOW DOWN A SANDY HILL AND I HIT A RATHER LARGE BUMP/RUT AND THE ENGINE CUT OFF , RENDERING THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES INEFFECTIVE. LUCKILY , THERE WAS NO OTHER TRAFFIC IN THE AREA OR OBSTACLES IN FRONT OF ME, AND I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE JEEP TO A STOP IN 50 YARDS OR SO ON A STEEP DOWN-HILL SECTION OF ROAD. AFTER BRING THE JEEP TO A STOP IT STARTED UP AGAIN WITHOUT PROBLEM. THE JEEP DEALER SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM ALTHOUGH I HAVE FOUND OTHER'S ON THE WEB, INDICATING SITUATIONS WHERE THE ENGINE RANDOMLY TURNED OFF. THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IF I HAD BEEN IN A SITUATION WITH ANY OBSTACLES , TREES, CARS N FRONT OF ME, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WAY FOR ME TO STOP OR STEER OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING TO WORK, AUTOMATIC, AND THE ENGINE STALLED ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, RADIO WENT OUT ALONG WITH POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL BUT I WAS IN DRIVE. IT LASTED ABOUT 2 SECONDS THEM RESTARTED ITSELF AND WAS "NORMAL" FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THIS COULD OF BEEN A HUGE PROBLEM IF I WERE ON A STEEP HILL (UP OR DOWN) OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, IF YOU WANT TO SEE MORE GO TO ANY JEEP JK UNLIMITED 4 DOOR FORUM AND DO A SEARCH FOR THE "STALL BUG". *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AT ABOUT 30MPH ON A BUSY, 4 LANE STREET WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAS PEDAL BECAME UNRESPONSIVE, ALL OF THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE JEEP WENT DEAD. I ROLLED TO A STOP (WHILE BEING HONKED AT BY THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME), SHIFTED TO PARK, WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THEN RESTARTED THE JEEP. AT THAT POINT, THE VEHICLE SEEMED NORMAL AGAIN. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALER FOR THIS ISSUE, WHICH I KNOW HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY MANY OTHER 2007 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT
I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. THE LOSS OF POWER LASTED ONLY A FEW SECONDS AND THEN POWERED BACK UP. THE ENGINE ALSO STOPPED DURING THIS TIME. IT WAS EXTREMELY ALARMING AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM UNSURE WHAT THEY DID TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. *JB

WHEELS, SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 300. THERE WAS A DEEP CHANNEL THAT WAS IN THE OUTER RING OF THE WHEEL . THE SPACE WAS LARGE AND IT COLLECTED WATER AND DEBRIS. WHILE DRIVING ALL OF THE DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD WAS IN THE WHEEL, AND THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE IN A WEIRD WAY. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 55 MPH THE WHEEL LAUNCHED A PIECE OF DEBRIS. THE DEALER AGREED THAT THERE WAS A MAJOR DESIGN PROBLEM, AND TOLD HIM JUST TO BE CAREFUL WHILE DRIVING AT ELEVATED SPEEDS. DAIMLER/CHRYSLER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE WAS NO PART TO SERVICE THE DEFECT. DURING TESTING OF THE VEHICLE THE MANUFACTURER NOTICED THAT THE REAR COIL SPRINGS WERE WEAK. *AK UPDATED 07/06/07.*JB
