My vehicle has been running poorly since the 3rd day of purchase (03/07) and at safe highway speeds, the engine just stalls..... It happens very often, about 3 times a month......the dealership says that it is operating within normal parameters and there is no solution for this issue at this time.....huummmm.
2007 Jeep Wrangler 2-DR 4x4 engine complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 47, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The events leading up to m failure are quite simple. I take the same route to and from work everyday, and at the point where the failure happened I always have my cruise set at between 55 - 60 MPH. It was a regular day, no precipitation and I was cruising in sixth gear. While I was driving down the road, all the sudden I noticed my stereo and head lights turned off, I looked down and all of my dash lights and instrument panels had turned off. Sitting in my seat while driving down the road at 60 MPH it looked as if my car was turned off. It lasted long enough for me to realize I had a potentially huge problem, and to look all around me quickly for nearby vehicles just in case something was about to go terribly wrong. It was probably on 4 - 6 seconds in all actuality, but it felt like longer. I would be very interested to know what would have happened if I had tried to steer or brake. Would it have worked? Also, my jeep is still 100% stock, factory tires and all. I was fortunate enough not to have an accident, but I don't know if I would have been able to avoid one if I had to because I don't know if the vehicle would have still been responsive during the "black out." this happened two days ago, and it is now memorial day weekend. I plan on contacting the dealer on tuesday to see what can be done, but from my research online, my hopes are not high. It seems there are plenty of related incidents out there, and nobody seems to be getting any real help from their dealerships.
Dash lights flash on, momentary loss of engine power. Dealer could not duplicate or repair problem.
While driving my jeep 07 wrangler the engine stalled at approximately 35 MPH while driving. The radio went dead and the steering became very stiff for 2 seconds. The car then restarted by itself while still moving down the road. The dashboard lit up just as it does when I turn the car on and the seat belt chime sounded 5 times just like it does upon startup. Within 15 minutes the whole process occurred a second time with the same result. The car briefly stalled then restarted while driving down a highway. I have previously been in touch with a dealership and they told me that my VIN was not included in the recall for stalling engines but apparently they were wrong because this happened to me two times on one trip. I am going to stop by a different dealership and ask them to perform the tipm reset for me but want to alert others that their vehicle may be affected even though not listed in the recall notice.
I currently own a 2007 jeep wrangler .I have experienced a stalling problem with vehicle 5 time in the last 2 months. 4 of the 5 time I was traveling at night at speeds of 50 to 65 MPH on an interstate. The reason I am writing this complaint is I almost rear ended a tractor trailer running at a slower speed after the stall turned of the light and gave me no brake power. This is very dangerous almost costing me my life. I am taking it to the dealer to have a recall notice done on 03/21/08. This problem seems to be coming quite common on these jeeps, I hope a death does not happen before they fix the defect.
Car loses power while driving. All dash lights go off and then come back on quickly. Chrysler did recall jeep wranglers for this problem, but when I asked the service department, they told me mine was not one that was recalled. This has happened several times in the year that I have owned the jeep, most recently march 11, driving at 35mph.
2007 jeep wrangler "reboots" itself while driving. While driving the vehicle, the engine and all electrical items fail and stay off for about 5 seconds. Then everything comes back on as if nothing ever happened. The first failure occurred on april 5, 2007, and the second failure occurred on may 9, 2007. The vehicle rebooted itself five times while driving home from work on march 5, 2008.
My model year 2007 jeep wrangler with the 3.8l v6 engine and automatic transmission continues to lose engine power without warning. When this occurs, momentary loss of engine power on acceleration or at cruising speed and all interior warning lights in the instrument cluster light up all at once. The radio whether playing a cd or just the radio feature cuts out at the same time this happens. This has occurred whether cruising down the highway or in stop and go traffic. Tonight it happened while sitting at a stop light and when I accelerated on the light changing to green, the engine lost power and all warning lights briefly came on and the radio stopped. The engine never stalled, but lost all power and within a few seconds all worked again. I nearly was hit from behind when they started to move forward through the light. This is a safety concern now that I've almost been in an accident as a result of this condition. I'll be contacting both my jeep dealer in the morning and daimler-chrysler about this.
On feb 5th, I was driving on the freeway at about 65 MPH and my car died - dash lights went on, car jerked to a violent slow down and I almost crashed into a semi on my left, the car pulled to the left. All resumed to normal after about 4 seconds. I have filed previous complaint, conf nbr 10188682. This is the 4th incident but what is most shocking is that the first 2 times I brought it to the dealership repaid shop I was told that they couldn't duplicate the error and that they and chrysler corp didn't have record of any other reports of this problem. On the 2nd visit, I advised the service person that he should look at this web site if he had never heard of this problem since there were numerous complaints. On the 3rd incident, when I got home, there was a recall "safety recall g25-program tipm-engine stalling- so I called the service center, again, advised that car stalled again and that I also received recall and scheduled the service - aug 2007. After this visit I felt more secure to drive the car because at least chrysler had acknowledged the problem. The on feb 5th 2008 as I was driving to work, it happened again. I continued to work and at the end of the day when I went back to the car it wouldn't start, all lights/radio etc came on but the car wouldn't turn over. I had it towed to jeep. I was told by service person, after the car was inspected that the control module - same item that caused previous problems, had to be replaced. I purchased this vehicle new, so that I would have a dependable and safe vehicle - neither of which it is! I asked the service manager what chrysler could do for me. He said that from the notes it looked like I only had one occurrence with this issue and that this was the first he heard of this type of problem with jeep - wow - either he out right lied to me or he is an uninformed manager. Needless to say I am not confident that this issue wont occur again!
I was driving on the highway at around 65 MPH and the car stalled. All the lights on the dash lit up and the car was in neutral and about 4 seconds later the car regained its power. This happened 2/1/08 with 11,500 miles. This also occurred on the highway around may 2007 with around 2,500 miles.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Jeep wrangler loses power. Everything turns off at highway speeds. Took in to have it fixed. They couldn't find a problem. Then a few months later I received a recall notice describing same problem. Mean while my jeep keeps shutting down while driving. The dealer claimed they fixed it. But they only made the problem worse. Now it does same more often so took it back. Now they say they cant duplicate the problem and that as far as they are concerned there is nothing wrong and they claim they already fixed the recall problem . I told them they did not. Then they suggested that I let one of their hourly mechanic's drive it home with him to do further tests on his way home. I refused to let them drive my jeep home. So I picked it up. The paper they forced me to sign before they would let me have it stated that I refused further tests.. That is a lie. I do not consider their guy driving my jeep home and going on joy rides with it a test. Please advise me on what I can do now. Thanks james. K warren.
I was driving on the freeway at around 70 MPH and the car all of a sudden jerked forward and slowed way down. All of the dash lights went on, the car went dead for about 5 seconds and then started going again like nothing happened. All the lights went off again, and it returned to normal. I am not interested in having another problem with this jeep. There have already been brake problems twice... One of which caused a crash. The question asking "oem" below... I don't know what that means.
2007 jeep wrangler jk: 2 door:model x:manual transmission: purchased on 3/29/07: at 2,833 miles, my vehicle stalled on interstate 10 at 60 MPH. The vehicle stalled disabling all power to the controls for 3 seconds during morning rush hour traffic. The vehicle then restarted on its own and I continued on my way, thinking it was simply a minor malfunction. It recurred at 5,180 miles while I was in neutral gear, the vehicle stalled and 2 seconds later it restarted on its own. After this experience, I went to research this problem online. I found that this problem is now called "the stall bug" and it is happening to hundreds of 2007 jeep jk wrangler owners on both manual and automatic transmissions. I found that many of the owners who have reported this problem have taken their vehicles to their jeep dealership and the service department ends up sending them back without the problem being fixed. This is unacceptable and someone is going to get hurt. As soon as I found out that there was this grossly overlooked problem, I took my vehicle immediately to the dealership to be fixed (6/30/07). My vehicle is currently at the dealership being looked at by the service department, but from the research that I have done there is no solution to the problem yet and the dealership will most likely send me home with a ticking time bomb of a vehicle as it is expected that the stall will happen again at around 9,000 miles.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4. While driving 30 MPH, the vehicle began to malfunction and warning lights illuminated. The contact has not taken the vehicle to the mechanic. The current and failure mileages were 6,000.
2007 jeep wrangler 2 door. Stalls. Loses all engine and electrical power. Has happened on five occasions. On the last occasion I was in a major intersection and was almost broadsided when the light changed and I was caught in the oncoming flow of traffic. Brandon, florida dealership denies that such an occurrence is possible or repairable because they "are unable to replicate the problem." vehicle has been taken to the dealership three times for this problem to no avail.
I exited the highway on to the ramp doing 35mph and in the turn I lost all power,the engine shut down,within a few seconds all the dash lights came on and the engine restarted. I almost lost control but it restarted in time. I talked to the dealer about this but they told me they know nothing of this.
Driving my 2007 2 door jeep wrangler automatic it suddenly stalled at 50 MPH. The dash lights all came on and the engine revved as if it was in neutral for a few seconds then everything came back to normal and it drove home with no problems.
Jeep stalled in traffic, engine cut off...dashboard lights lit up...had to restart.
2007 jeep wrangler engine stalls and loss of electricity and power steering. This happened 2 times. Vehicle was driving under 50 MPH for both instances. In both instances, the stall/loss of electricity/loss of power steering lasted for only about 1 second.
Driving down the highway normal traffic conditions. Vehicle shut off at 65mph on highway with loss of all electrical.
Vehicle stalls out, all "idiot" lights go on, headlights and other lighting go off, then vehicle restarts, has happened a few times, and has happened after dealership "fixed" with a manufacturer issued tsb, on this last date I was driving at night on the highway @ 70mph ! Lost all lights and power. And this is only one of the issues with this 2007 vehicle I purchased in nov ! I even have a casemanager thought the manuf. For a roof leak that they have tried to fix 5 times and it still leaks.
1) the electronic stability program light has come on and stayed on 3 times over the last couple of weeks on my 2007 jeep wrangler. 2) yesterday, while traveling at freeway speeds, the vehicle stalled momentarily, but restarted. In surprise, I swerved a little bit, but not enough to lose control of the vehicle. As I understand it, other '07 wranglers have experienced this as well and it has gotten progressively worse. This seems to be a significant safety issue that could result in a crash. 3) I contacted my dealer today to take a look at my vehicle tomorrow. I described the issue, but they seemed unfamiliar with it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler with 8500 miles. The contact was driving 65 MPH under normal dry conditions when the vehicle stalled.the contact tried to restart the vehicle while coasting, it would not restart so the contact was safely able to get the vehicle to the side of the road. When the vehicle stalled all of the electrical equipment shut off then came back on before the vehicle restarted. Once the vehicle was on the side of the road it restarted and she has not had any problems since. The contact called the dealer and made them aware of the failure and the dealer offered to replace the jeep with a new one.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler 2dr, automatic transmission. No power amenities group. Build date of 9/12/2006. It has a random stalling problem and has since I purchased it. It has stalled at least 6 times on me that I can recall. There does not appear to be any pattern that I can relate, speed is irrelevant, it has happened at dead stops, and at 65mph thruway speeds. It occurs without warning; all of a sudden all the idiot lights come on, immediately everything shuts down. Radio, lights, dash gauges, engine, everything. No power steering, no power brakes, everything is gone. This happens for maybe a second or two. Sometimes it comes back on by itself, sometimes it doesn't. I have had it back to the dealer, they attempted the computer reflash. It had no effect. I have no complaint with cecconi's chrysler, they have attempted to fix the problem. I believe this is daimler's blunder.
(1)driving highway speeds, 45-65 usually. (2)engine shuts down, lose power to everything, ie power brakes, power steering, then starts back up after several seconds (3) one dealer said its not an issue, the other "update" the computer, still didn't fix the issue.
Like alot of other folks, I have a 2007 jeep jk that stalled on me while driving. I was going around a curve at about 25 MPH when all power and electricity failed for 2 sec. After 2 sec everything came back on including the motor (I have a standard) I have read on the www.jk-forum.com website of alot of people having similar issues with no concrete fixes from dc. I was lucky not to wreck.
