ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP UNLIMITED X. IT STALLED TWICE WITH ONLY 4000 MILES. ONCE AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH AND THE OTHER AT AROUND 25MPH. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE LIT UP AND I LOST LIGHTING FROM THE OUTSIDE. WHEN I TRIED TO START BACK UP BOTH TIMES, IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT I HAVE SEEN OTHER SIMILAR REPORTS FROM JEEPFORUM.COM.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, STEERING
APPROX. 3 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR NEW 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WE EXPERIENCED A PREMATURE ENGAGEMENT OF THE ESP SYSTEM UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AT A SPEED OF 35MPH. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE DUE TO AUTOMATIC BRAKING AND SHUT DOWN OF THROTTLE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED 3 LEAKING BRAKE CALIPERS. APPROX. 2 WEEKS LATER WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE AT A LOW SPEED. WE IMMEDIATELY RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED THE REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. AGAIN, 1 WEEK LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE. CHRYSLER SERVICE REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR. THE 4TH INCIDENT OCCURRED 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CANNOT DUPLICATE OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM. WE FILED A LEMON LAW CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER SETTLEMENT. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY WILL BE REPLACING THE VEHICLE AND THE PAPERWORK IS BEING PROCESSED.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 07 JEEP WRANGLER HAS STALLED A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. 3 OF THE STALLS WERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 1 WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THERE IS NO WARNING OR SIGN THAT THE VEHICLE WILL STALL. JUST, ALL OF A SUDDEN, I NOTICE THE LOSS OF POWER, AND LOOKING AT MY INSTRUMENT PANEL, I SEE THAT ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ARE LIT. THE STALL LASTS JUST A COUPLE OF SECONDS, THEN THE VEHICLE RETURNS TO NORMAL OPERATION WITHOUT ANYTHING BE DONE BY ME.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHEN DRIVING ENGINE WILL JUST STALL, IT SEEM TO BE ABOUT EVERY TWO TO THREE WEEKS. THIS HAS HAPPEN AT LEST 9 TIMES, AND NOT AT THE SAME SPEEDS,ONE TIME I ALMOST HIT THE BACK OF A TRUCK (LOST OF POWER BRAKES). IT HAS ALSO BEEN AT THE DEALER 5 TIMES. EACH TIME THEY SAY WE GOT IT NOW, YOU SHOULD BE ALL SET NOW(NOT). THIS 4 DOOR JEEP SUCKS. MAYBE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE WHEN A FEW PEOPLE DIE IN AN CRASH, I HOPE NOT, BUT IT WILL HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ELECTRONIC CONTROL LIGHT APPEARED. ENGINE STALLED WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING PLACE CAUSING COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL ELECTRONICS AS WELL AS POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. DUE TO SIZE AND WEIGHT OF VEHICLE, WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, VERY NARROWLY MISSED HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE BEFORE VEHICLE COULD BE STOPPED. AREA WAS HEAVILY POPULATED WITH PEDESTRIANS. THANKFULLY NONE WERE PRESENT DIRECTLY IN MY PATH. VEHICLE GOING TO DEALER TOMORROW HOWEVER AFTER MUCH INTERNET RESEARCH IT APPEARS CHRYSLER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED HAS NOW STALLED TWICE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE STALL IS MOMENTARY, APPROXIMATELY TWO SECONDS, AND THE VEHICLE QUICKLY RESUMES NORMAL OPERATION. THERE IS AN INITIAL "LURCH", THEN ALL OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP, THEN OPERATION RESUMES. IT SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT IS VERY ALARMING WHEN IT HAPPENS. ON ONE OF MY TWO OCCURRENCES I WAS TRAVELING AT 70MPH ON A FREEWAY, WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER MY FIRST OCCURRENCE I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM TO MY DEALER AND THE RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WAS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CRUISE CONTROL (OBVIOUSLY THEY DID NOT INTERPRET MY DESCRIPTION PROPERLY). *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
I HAVE A 2007 JEEP SAHARA JK FOUR DOOR. TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON THE 10 FREEWAY IN PAMONA, CA IN THE CAR POOL LANE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON GOING ABOUT 70MPH. I HAD BEEN TRAVELING THIS WAY FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD. THE ENGINE APPEARED TO STALL. THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO ZERO EVEN THOUGH I WASCOASTING. THE RPM READ ABOUT 800. I KEEP PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I WOULD GET A SPURT OF SPEED BUT HAD AN OVERALL REDUCTION OF SPEED. I HAD TO NAVIGATE OVER DOUBLE YELLOW LINES, BETWEEN SEMI'S TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER STOPPING I TURNED THE KEY OFF THEN ON AGAIN. IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND I CONTINUED THE REST OF THE 150 MILES. THE DASH DISPLAYED TWO ICONS. ONE WAS THE ESP SYMBOL AND THE OTHER WAS A RED LIGHTING BOLT IN BETWEEN TWO VERTICAL RED LINES. I CALLED THE DEALER, SHAVER JEEP, IN SAN BERNARDINO. THE SERVICE GUY SAID THIS WASN'T UNCOMMON. HE HYPOTHESIZE THE ESP SYSTEM SENSED A NEED TO TURN ON CAUSING THE COMPUTER TO TAKE CONTROL. I ASSURED HIM I WAS GOING STRAIGHT AND HAD NOT MADE ANY TURNS OR HIT ANY BUMPS. IT HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE. IF THIS WAS THE REASON, THE COMPUTER MADE A FALSE INTERPRETATION AND IT SHOULD HAVE TURNED CONTROL BACK TO THE DRIVER AFTER THE CORRECTION WAS MADE INSTEAD OF LOSING SPEED ON A BUSY FREEWAY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK: 2 DOOR:MODEL X:MANUAL TRANSMISSION: PURCHASED ON 3/29/07: AT 2,833 MILES, MY VEHICLE STALLED ON INTERSTATE 10 AT 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE STALLED DISABLING ALL POWER TO THE CONTROLS FOR 3 SECONDS DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE THEN RESTARTED ON ITS OWN AND I CONTINUED ON MY WAY, THINKING IT WAS SIMPLY A MINOR MALFUNCTION. IT RECURRED AT 5,180 MILES WHILE I WAS IN NEUTRAL GEAR, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND 2 SECONDS LATER IT RESTARTED ON ITS OWN. AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE, I WENT TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM ONLINE. I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOW CALLED "THE STALL BUG" AND IT IS HAPPENING TO HUNDREDS OF 2007 JEEP JK WRANGLER OWNERS ON BOTH MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. I FOUND THAT MANY OF THE OWNERS WHO HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM HAVE TAKEN THEIR VEHICLES TO THEIR JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ENDS UP SENDING THEM BACK WITHOUT THE PROBLEM BEING FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. AS SOON AS I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS THIS GROSSLY OVERLOOKED PROBLEM, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED (6/30/07). MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING LOOKED AT BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, BUT FROM THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM YET AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL MOST LIKELY SEND ME HOME WITH A TICKING TIME BOMB OF A VEHICLE AS IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE STALL WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AT AROUND 9,000 MILES.

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.

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.

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.
