ONCE WHILE DRIVING AND ONCE WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT MY 07 JEEP JK WRANGLER JUST STALLED. IT HAD TO BE PUT BACK INTO PARK AND RESTARTED. THIS SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS! *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH (CRUISE CONTROL ENABLED) THE CAR STARTED SURGING AS IF SOMEONE WERE PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL. IT DID THIS FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS THEN THE ENGINE DIED. I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE SECOND I PRESSED ON THE CLUTCH I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKE FUNCTION. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND CARS STARTED PASSING ME ON EITHER SIDE. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY LED TO AN ACCIDENT. I WILL BE TAKING IT IN TO THE DEALER ASAP. *JB

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A BUSY STREET, I PULLED INTO A LEFT-HAND TURN LANE AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. I WAS ABOUT SIX CARS BACK IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC. WHILE STOPPED I FELT A SLIGHT ENGINE SHUDDER AND THEN THE ENGINE STALLED. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND STARTED THE ENGINE BACK UP. THE DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT AND I PROCEEDED ON MY WAY. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 3,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS VERY CONCERNING TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF SUCH HEAVY TRAFFIC IN A NEW VEHICLE. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW TO BE CHECKED. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. ON THREE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING 25MPH, THE SNOW FROZE THE LINKAGE ON THE VEHICLE AND THE WIPERS DIDN'T OPERATE NORMALLY. SNOW ALSO ENTERS THE HEATER VENTILATION SCREEN AT THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS A CLOSED CHAMBER WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND THE LINKAGE IS CONTAINED. THE SNOW FREEZES INTO A SOLID MASS WHERE THE LINKAGE/ WIPERS WILL NOT WORK UNTIL YOU PUT SOME FORM OF HEAT INTO THE CHAMBER TO MELT THE ICE. THE RAIN ALSO MAKES CONTACT WITH THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ATTACHED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE ALTHOUGH THEY STATED THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED IN OTHER VEHICLES. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED HIM TO CONTACT NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,100.

THREE TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED THE ENGINE STALLED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TWICE I WAS CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN PASS AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, AND ONCE I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION GOING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. ALL THREE TIMES THE ENGINE CUT OFF, ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON, AND THE MOMENTUM OF THE CAR STARTED THE ENGINE AFTER ABOUT TWO SECONDS. THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO NEED TO MAKE IMMEDIATE STOPS OR TURNS WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF. THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED ABOUT 3,000 MILES APART.*AK
