2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 Complaints

2007 JEEP WRANGLER. HAS HAD THE ENGINE STALL ISSUE, IN FOR TSB ON THIS ISSUE-VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. DEALERSHIP THEN LATER SAID IT WAS STALLING DUE TO IGNITION SWITCH AFTER A FEW MORE STALLING INCIDENTS. THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH, THEN MANUFACTURER ISSUED A RECALL IN JULY FOR THIS ISSUE, THE RECALL WAS DONE. TODAY 9/27 THE EXACT STALL WHILE DRIVING HAPPENED AGAIN, VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHEN DRIVING, LOSING ALL POWER/LIGHTS/STEERING/BRAKES. *JB

WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC GETTING ON THE FREEWAY, MY ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUT AS I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER SEEM TO LOCK UP AS THE VEHICLE QUITS RESPONDING TO DRIVER COMMANDS. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE FIRST 1000 MILES SINCE BEING PURCHASED. THE DEALER CANNOT SEEM TO DUPLICATE THIS DISCREPANCY. THIS VEHICLE IS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DR 4X4. *JB

2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH LATE MARCH 2007 BUILD DATE IS EXPERIENCING STALL FAILURES OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHILE BRAKING AT A STOP SIGN, MY JEEP STALLED OUT AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF SECONDS CAME BACK ON. DURING THIS STALL PERIOD, BOTH STEERING AND BRAKING ARE SEVERELY NEGATIVELY INFLUENCED. *JB

IT IS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL, THERE IS A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. WHEN IN THE RPM RANGE OF 1500 TO 2000 RPMS IT MAKES THIS NOISE. IT IS STARTING TO BECOME VERY ANNOYING BECAUSE THE MORE I DRIVE THE LOUDER IT GETS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE THROW OUT BEARING PER THE TSB THAT WAS GIVEN. THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE 30 DAYS TO GET A FIELD ENGINEER OUT TO LOOK AT MY PROBLEM TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR IT. SO I AM STILL WAITING AND NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THE DEALERSHIPS OUTCOME. *JB

WHILE NEGOTIATING A RIGHT HAND CURVE ON A LOCAL TOWN ROAD IN MY 07 JEEP WRANGLER X, 2-DR, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE ENGINE STALLED FOR APPROX. 2 SECONDS AND THEN RESTARTED ITSELF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING (I ASSUME) AS STEERING/CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH WITH NO PASSENGERS. THIS VEHICLE HAS A BUILD DATE OF 04/17/07 AND WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM A JEEP DEALER ON 07/02/07. THE VEHICLE HAD 4166 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. AFTER CHECKING DAIMLERCHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL G25, REPROGRAM TIPM - ENGINE STALLING DATED JULY 2007, I SEE THAT ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE EXACT SYMPTOMS LISTED, THE BUILD DATE OF MY VEHICLE FALLS OUTSIDE THE DATE LISTED IN THE RECALL (01-22-07). OBVIOUSLY THIS NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. THIS CAN ALSO BE VERIFIED VIA THE FOLLOWING INTERNET FORUM THREAD: "HTTP://WWW.JK-FORUM.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=2366" THIS FORUM INCLUDES QUITE A FEW OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE INCLUDING MANY THAT; 1) HAVE HAD THE RECALL PROCEDURE PERFORMED ALREADY; 2) HAVE A VEHICLE OUTSIDE OF THE SPECIFIED BUILD DATE; OR 3) ACTUALLY OWN A 2008 MODEL YEAR JEEP WRANGLER. IT SEEMS THE RECALL PROCEDURE OR "FIX" DOES NOT ACTUALLY CORRECT THIS ISSUE AND THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE LATER BUILD DATES. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING IN A SLOWER, LOW TRAFFIC, LESS HAZARDOUS SITUATION DURING MY FIRST INCIDENT BUT NOW I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THIS OCCURS AGAIN DURING FASTER, HIGHWAY USE OR IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WITH FAMILY MEMBERS/PASSENGERS THE OUTCOME COULD BE DISASTROUS. MY VEHICLE IS NEVER ABUSED AND WELL MAINTAINED. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF FURTHER DETAILS ARE REQUIRED. *TR

ABS/ TRACTION CONTROL/ ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGES AT TIMES WHEN USING HIGHWAY ON/ OFF RAMPS AND WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES. VEHICLE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR THIS ISSUE BY UPDATING THE ABS CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE TO THE LATEST VERSION, BUT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. THE ABS MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND STAYS ILLUMINATED, BUT THE DEALER CAN FIND NO TROUBLE CODES. NOTE: THIS VEHICLE DID NOT FALL INTO CAMPAIGN 06V493000 AS THE ABS MODULE UNDER THE SCOPE OF THAT RECALL WAS INTRODUCED TWO DAYS AFTER THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT.

SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH IT HAS AT LEAST HAD APPROXIMATELY 100 TIMES OF EXCESSIVE CRANK TIME. I FEAR IT MAY BE DESTROYING THE ENGINE OR ? I'VE ALSO HAD ONE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER CALL ME 'CRAZY' AND REPORTED THAT IT WAS NOT HAPPENING BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. AFTER HIS RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL REMARK, I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER SHIP WHO TREATED ME WITH RESPECT, BUT AGAIN, THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE EXCESSIVE CRANK. FINALLY ON A SECOND VISIT, THEY REPORTED THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. PROBLEM IS; THEY WANT ME TO WAIT AND HAVE STAR TECHS., TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT. I AM UPSET THAT THEY WON'T JUST TRADE THE JEEP! I AM PAYING BIG MONEY FOR A PIECE OF... (YOU KNOW WHAT!) IF THEY REFUSE TO TRADE, I WANT MY MONEY BACK. A NEW CAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES!! IT HAS DIED ON ME BUT ONLY ONCE AND I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. I HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THANK GOD THEY WERE ABLE TO FIGURE THAT ONE OUT!!

WHILE TRAVELING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, AS I WAS ASCENDING A TURN ON A STEEP GRADE, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED FROM 4TH TO 2ND GEAR ABRUPTLY. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE ESP LIGHT ON THE DASH LIT UP AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG. I RE-STARTED THE ENGINE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM THE TRIP AND THEY CHECKED THE ECU AND NO WARNINGS CAME UP. *JB

AT 65 MPH ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AS IF JEEP HAD LOST POWER AND CAME BACK ON. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR ANY INCIDENCES LIKE THIS AND FOUND A NEWS STORY THAT SAID CHRYSLER WAS BEING INVESTIGATED AND WAS TO RECALL 80,000 JEEPS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY DENIED WE HAVE A PROBLEM AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO EVEN LOOK AT MY JEEP BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THE VIN NUMBER DIDN'T MATCH THE RECALL. MEANWHILE I AM DRIVING A JEEP UNSURE IF IT WILL STALL OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR
