2007 Jeep Wrangler 2-DR 4x4: engine failure

Filed Jun 7, 2014 · Airbags · 72,000 miles · AZ

Airbag light comes on and goes off constantly. First day was about every 20 or 30 seconds but by the second day it would come on stay on for 30 seconds or so go off and come on immediately again. This is a left hand drive and was produced 4/07. Obviously the same clockspring as the l37 problem. Code 1b06 is displayed on the code reader at my mechanics shop. The oil pump failed on this jeep and the motor seized at 9100 miles and was replaced. I also had alarm problems from the start which were never fixed. I almost had it declared a lemon but gave up.

Knocking noise coming from underneath the vehicle when driven. It would come and go, mechanic checked for the obvious loss parts (muffler, shocks, etc...). The next day when the noise reappeared, the mechanic has driven less than a quarter mile when the engine seized. Mechanic dropped the oil pan and found metal shavings in the oil and the bearing had spun. Chrysler is refusing to take any responsibility to fix this common problem in the 2007 jeep wrangler. The mechanics we have spoken with have related that the new 07 3.0 liter engine was found to have issues that lead to this spun bearing. Repairs and parts are well over $8000.

My 2007 jeep wrangler has had engine stall two times now at 50-60 MPH. Causing light failure, engine failure, no brakes or power steering. I have taken it to the dealership two times, after restarting the vehicle. The next time it happens, they said call a tow truck and have it towed to them. This started at approximately 26,000 miles and again at 30,000. Both times nothing was found and the computer programs were current.

Engine died @ 65 MPH,and at other times at stop lights and while driving on off road trail. Trans didn't upshift while trying to merge on hiway and while attempting to pass other vehicles. Dealer said there wasn't anything wrong with vehicle.

I am here to report the stalling problem with my 2007 jeep wrangler. I experienced loss of electric power along with engine failure and was unable to start my jeep for a few seconds while doing highway speeds. (I think I was doing about 60mph at the time). I know there are fellow 07 wrangler owners who have experienced this as well and we would all like to see this problem resolved before someone gets injured by this malfunction. Thank you for your time. Michael wolfe.

As I was driving at 50 MPH on a level road; the engine and electrical system on my 2007 jeep wrangler completely failed. Just as quickly as the engine/electrical cut out (within 1-2 seconds) all the dash board lights illuminated and the engine restarted on its own. What made this event a danger to me and possibly others on the road is when the engine died I also lost power steering. This causing me to move into oncoming traffic (I was rounding a sweeping corner at the time). When the engine restarted it caused the power steering to immediately come back which in turn caused a quick jerk back into my lane of travel. This was an extremely dangerous maneuver given the type of vehicle this is. This seems to be an ongoing issue with many 2007 jeep wranglers.
