I have a 2007 jeep wrangler. I have had 3 issues with it stalling or with systems failure. The first time happened on the date listed below. I was traveling through a busy intersection at about 50 MPH when my jeep lost power for about 5 seconds. Luckily, I made it through without any issues and the power resumed. 3 days later, I took my jeep into my local dealer (where it was purchased) and they said there was no diagnostic that could be performed on it at that time because the software wasn't available yet. Since that date, I have had 2 other similar issues. About 4 months after the first incident, my jeep stalled out at a stoplight. I had to restart the engine. About 3 weeks ago, the same thing happened in my driveway. I started my jeep in the early morning to warm it up before work, and when I came back out in about 5 minutes, and as no longer running. I didn't think too much about this until I read an article recently about others having issues with their 2007 jeep wranglers. I wanted to make sure my stories were known, too! Thanks!
2007 Jeep Wrangler 2-DR 4x4 engine complaints

I am the owner or a 2007 jeep wrangler x 4x4 6spd. The vehicle has approx 2,600 miles on it. On may 30th I was driving in a residential area when I was approaching a stop sign. I was on my way to get gas and my gas light was on (I do not know if this is relevant or not but I will report it). While approaching the stop sign, with the clutch pedal pushed to the floor at about 3 MPH the vehicle just stalled. No real warning just a flash of the radio lights and dash lights and the vehicle died. I thought it had run out of gas but it started right back up. Then I thought possibly the gas was very low but there were still 2 gallons left in the tank as I found out when I filled up the tank 2 minutes later. After this happened I researched this "stall" a little more online. I came across jk-forum.com and this was not just an isolated incident. This is a very wide spread problem in which the dealers poke and hope with their repairs and they do not work. This is a very big safety issue. I think about it everytime I set in my vehicle now waiting for it to stall in an even worse situation such as a highway off or on ramp or something. Chrysler must be held responsible for finding a fix asap in my opinion.
It happens to a 2007 jeep wrangler, 2 dr, 6-sp manual. I was doing city driving, and was shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear, when suddenly all lights on the dashboard turned on, and the radio cut off, engine stall for a split second, and turn back on to normal. Dealer did a tsb on this but doesn't solve the problem.
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.
I have had stall issues all around town, at least 4 times. The worse stall issue was driving on the highway all my dash lights lit up and the vehicle stalled. I had to "limp" my way to the shoulder. Chrysler did a buy back on my vehicle.
Stall: my new 2007 wrangler has twice stalled and lost all power for 1-2 seconds at highway speeds. When this happens the dashboard lights all turn on as if the car was just started, the brakes and steering stop responding and the engine seems to either turn off completely or go silent. This lasts for a couple of seconds and then the vehicle powers up again and acts as if nothing has happened. This has happened twice so far on straight lanes and am worried this will cause an accident if it happens on a curve or when I need to use my brakes. I have taken it to jeep and was given the response "cannot duplicate, no action taken" but this is not acceptable to me and don't want them to finally take this problem seriously when my wife, 5 month old infant and myself are on the news because we died on the road.
At approximately 3,000 miles vehicle stalled while driving up a hill at 45 MPH. Radio turned off, lost control of steering, all lights lit up on dashboard. This lasted for approximately 4-5 seconds. Scary! Took vehicle to dealer for flash"of computer per technical service bulletin (tsb). All was well until yesterday at 9,100 miles. Same exact thing happened! Will have dealer check obd for error codes. This was a major safety problem and concern, could have been traveling at a high rate of speed on interstate with semi behind me. Then what? Thank you for your time and assistance with this safety issue and potential for injury or loss of life. Just wanted the problem acknowledged and corrected.
