Multiple times yesterday, starting with (which I thought nothing of initially) the traction control light turning on while the jeep was in park not moving. Shortly there after while driving straight on a highway about 45-55 MPH a knock or clunk was felt beneath the floor, immediately followed by the eas, traction control, ABS and brake lights illuminated, the airbag light flashed, the wipers running even though they were off, a hard pull to the right and high running/increasing RPM's on a level road with my foot off the accelerator. I hit the hazards, pulled off the road, looked at, in and under the jeep, nothing looked amiss. My husband took over the drive, made it roughly 8-10 miles with out issue and than again everything above but in addition this time the horn blared for probably 2 minutes, if not more, he pulled over shut it off turned it on we went home, waited about 2 hours, drove about 15 blocks city roads with hills and turns less than 25mph round trip and nothing happened. Might be worth mentioning, for the last month or so in high heat 80 degrees and up, it hasn't been starting the first few turns, but the battery is less than 6 months old.

What owners say
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.
While coasting to a stop sign today, I went to press the brake pedal to find the pedal locked at the top of the travel. As I pressed the pedal, the ABS started modulating like the tires were locked up, but they weren't as I was on dry pavement and not slowing down at all. I frantically pumped the brake pedal and after several depressions (3-5) the pedal unlocked and traveled normally allowing me to stop the vehicle.
While driving at highway speeds the 2007 wrangler lost all electrical power with the engine stalled at the same time. The problem lasted for about 3-second before all the lights on the dashboard illuminated at once and the engine restarted. This has occurred 3-times so far, andwas obviously a safety concern as control and braking of the vehiclewas lost with no power steering and ABS .
I own 1.5 month old 2007 wrangler.I was pulling into a parking spot at a local business. I put my foot on the brake and car doesn't stop. I went up on the curb. I brake again. Doesn't stop.I turn the wheel so I wont go into the glass of the business.I hit their patio and brick wall.the car wont back up or move.I turn it off and on again,then it moves.the workers came out to make sure I was ok.I told them the brakes didnt work.I had no idea what was going on and I was terrified to drive my car.I call to have car towed to dealer.I look up online inside the business to see of any similar probs.all over internet there are recalls on brakes of my model,make,year vehicle.at dealer, I mention recall possibility and they have no idea" what I'm talking abt. And have "never heard of such a thing..." they were going to test drive" it.why someone would want to do that when I just told them I had prob with brakes is beyond me.they say its "fine."they tell me they are going to take off wheels and thoroughly check it.hook it up to computer and run a few tests.see if it caught any codes.I say fine.both people that I spoke with asked me if "any brake lights came on... Abs or any other right before it happened."no idea... Didnt have time to check during incident.an hour later they come back and tell me "nothing is wrong" "no codes" that "they took for 2nd test drive and its fine." but they are confident that I can drive it.mileage on car the same as when I got there.I'm still terrified.I know something happened with my car.and I know that I could have killedsomeone.they told me that they looked up my VIN and no recalls.they told me to call cust service.I did.after getting my info,they told me that they would "get other parties involved..." and I should "contact the dealership tomorrow.I try the dealership the next day.no answer the 3 x I try.I call the main cust service line again.was told"the dealership found nothing wrong. You need to contact your insurance comp to fix your car.
