2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND BRIEFLY DIED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT OVER 70 MPH. SLOWED SUDDENLY, THEN RESTARTED BY ITSELF. COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN A LIFE THREATENING INCIDENT. SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. FIRST TIME WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN VEHICLE WENT COMPLETELY DEAD. LATER THAT DAY, WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM CURRENTLY OUT OF TOWN WORKING, AND DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE'S VIN. MILEAGES AND DAY OF PURCHASE WERE ESTIMATES.*AK

2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4DR 4X4. HILE DRIVING ON I-83 AT ABOUT 10 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. ALL LIGHTS, RADIO, ENGINE AND OPTIONS WERE COMPLETELY DEAD FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. BEFORE I COULD GET OFF THE HIGHWAY ALL POWER RETURNED ,AND I LET OUT THE CLUTCH AND STARTED THE ENGINE. ALL DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON BRIEFLY. THE JEEP WAS FINE SINCE AND THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THIS OCCURED IN ABOUT 7K MILES. THE DEALER DID A THOROUGH DIAGNOSTIC AND NOTHING IS WRONG. I SAW THAT THIS IS NOT A UNIQUE SITUATION AND AM JUST A BIT CONCERNED THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN. I TRAVEL DC-BALTIMORE ALOT AND NO LIGHTS, NO POWER ON THE BELTWAYS COULD BE VERY BAD. *AK

STALLING PROBLEM. OCCURRED 3 TIMES APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MONTHS APART. SEPARATE SITUATIONS: 1) FEBRUARY 2007. ACCELERATING THROUGH INTERSECTION AT 40-45 MPH ENGINE CUT OUT. ALL LIGHTS ON DASH ILLUMINATED. LOSS OF POWER FOR 2-3 SECONDS, THEN ENGINE RESTARTED AND ALL POWER RESUMED. APRIL 2007. SITTING AT STOP LIGHT, NORMAL IDLE AT 600 RPMS, WITHOUT WARNING, ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. HAD TO NEUTRAL AND RESTART ENGINE. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY APPLIED PCM FLASH UPDATES PER SERVICE BULLETIN) JUNE 2007. CRAWLING TRAFFIC SPEED OF 10-15 MPH AND ALL LIGHTS CAME ON DASH AND ENGINE DIED. ENGINE DID NOT MISFIRE AND STARTED TO LOOSE ACCELERATING AND POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. HAD TO PUT IN NEUTRAL TO RESTART ENGINE. PENDING APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER AT THIS TIME.*AK

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MPH AND COMING TO A STOP WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I WAS AWARE OF THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD DUE TO MY RESEARCH ON JK-FORUM.COM WHERE OTHER 2007 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS TO MINE. I EXPERIENCED THE ENGINE STALLING ISSUE AROUND 3700 MILES AND A SECOND TIME AT APPROXIMATELY 7500 MILES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, I JUST SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE. HOWEVER I CANNOT REPLICATE THIS STALL CONDITION AND I'M NERVOUS ABOUT IT HAPPENING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. *AK

VEHICLE STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEED LOOSING ALL POWER INCLUDING POWER STEERING, BRAKES AND LIGHTS. IT RESTARTED, BUT CAUSED A NEAR MISS.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ROUGHLY 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY THROTTLE FELT A LITTLE WEIRD THEN THE RPMS DROPPED TO ZERO AS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. IMMEDIATELY HEADED FOR THE SHOULDER AS I LOST POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING ALTHOUGH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING/BRAKING SYSTEM WAS ALERTED DURING MY SWERVE TOWARDS THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE WAS VERY UNRESPONSIVE. UPON REACHING THE SHOULDER THE VEHICLE STALLED. TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, AND THEN RESTARTED IT AND CAUTIOUSLY RETURNED HOME. CONSULTED THE MANUAL AND IT APPEARED THAT SUCH EVENTS WERE EXPECTED AND CONSIDERED NORMAL IF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT DID NOT RETURNED UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE.*AK THE VEHICLE HAS SHOWN SIGNS OF REPEATING THIS TROUBLE AND DURING THOSE TIMES I HAVE LET OFF THE THROTTLE, DOWN SHIFTED AND THEN SHIFTED UP AGAIN IN HOPES THAT WHATEVER GLITCH WAS OCCURRING WOULD BE RESET. CONDITIONS: LATE AFTERNOON, 80*F, DRIVING FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES MANUAL TRANSMISSION , STEREO WAS ON. *AK

VEHICLE STALLED UPON ACCELERATION UP A HILL STARTED ITSELF UP AGAIN WITHIN 5 SECONDS. INTERMITTANT ROUGH IDLE/CHUGGING OCCURING AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. OTHER TIMES VEHICLE BEHAVED AS IF STALLED BUT RECOVERED RAPIDLY

1: DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH 3400 MILES ON THE CAR. 2: ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND ENGINE STOPPED. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, THE VEHICLE RESUMED OPERATION. 3: NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND WAITING FOR THIS ISSUE TO OCCUR, AS IT HAS FOR MANY OTHER 2007 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS. IT WILL BE GOING IN TO THE DEALER, BUT AS OF LATE, THERE IS NO "FIX" FOR THIS ISSUE.

I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED 4 DOOR AND I HAVE BEEN READING OFTEN ABOUT SOMETHING CALLED THE STALL BUG. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE THE END OF FEBRUARY 2007 AND HAD NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS UNTIL I HAD APPROXIMATELY 5000 MILES. I TOOK A ROAD TRIP TO SOUTH CAROLINA FROM NYC AND WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IIN SC WHEN I FELT A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER . THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON ,AND THE RADIO AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED WITHIN A SECOND ON ITS OWN. I THOUGHT I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO NOT GET A JEEP WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT IT SEEMS I WAS WRONG. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. I READ THAT PEOPLE HAVE BROUGHT THEIR JEEP TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTING WRONG. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING AT NIGHT DOWN A COUNTY ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF FOR ALMOST A SECOND, THE DASH LIGHTS LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE, THE ENGINE BOGGED AND ALL ACCESSORIES WENT OFF, AND THEN CAME BACK ON AS IF THE IGNITION HAD JUST BEEN TURNED ON. THE ENGINE'S POWER RETURNED, AND IT CONTINUED AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ILLUMINATED FOR 3-5 MINUTES AFTER. PRIOR TO THIS, THERE WAS A SIMILAR INCIDENT, THOUGH IT WAS IN THE DAYLIGHT AND I WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE DASH LIGHTS LIGHT UP OR THE HEADLIGHTS COME ON, HOWEVER THE ENGINE BOGGED AND THE BAS LIGHT LIT UP. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND I HAVE NOT YET HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP YET.*AK
