Two weeks ago I when to the dealer to detail clean my jeep, I park at the entrance of the shop, when they where going to take my jeep in for cleaning, it will not start, they had to push the jeep into the shop, after checking it for a wild, they told me that it burn a fuse, they replace it and everything was find. Last week when I came out of my job, the jeep will not start again, I just replace the fuse and it was all fine. This morning am at wawa getting coffee and when I came out , the jeep will not start, had to get a toll truck to take it to my mechanic. He check it and told me there something cutting off the power and blowing the fuse every time he try to start it. He told to check with the dealer to see if there was a recall or problem with this, I call and by my VIN number they said there was no recall, a recall on the switch and for cutting off the power was issued for newer models but not for 2007. I will like to know if there been other similar complain about this, now I remember that sometimes my jeep will be loosing like power or stalling when I was driving, I keep my jeep clean and in very good conditions , up to date in maintenance, but this worrying me. I have a friend with a 2008 jeep, and he told me he had the same problem with his.

I guess I am writing with more than one issue. Sorry for the inconvenience of such a long explanation but I thought long and hard before delving into this. I purchased my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited x 4-door 2wd in october of 2006. I was one of the lucky victims that while going 70 MPH, the entire jeep shut down and then restarted on it's own. This happened twice. Took it in once, I got the "I'm sorry look" and was let go. Didn't even bother with the dealership the second time and finally was lucky enough not to have a wreck before the recall was sent. Within one month, not more than 1200 on the vehicle, it would not start. Called tow trucks twice. Each time, it took the tow truck 30-45 minutes to arrive and in that time frame, with repeated efforts, I was able to get the vehicle to start. This has not happened again for about 6 - 9 months then came february 2007. It was about 45 degrees outside and I walked out to get the mail. As I looked up at the jeep, I was stopped dead in my tracks and did not even want to face what I knew had happened. Right below where the windshield starts, right above the hood, on the drivers' side was an approximate 1" crack. I went back outside 3 times thinking maybe I "thought" I was seeing something that wasn't really there. Within one week, the crack had extended up about 1/2" and cracked horizontally about 4 inches across. So sorry again for the long, indepth letter. I just don't know what to do anymore. Would really appreciate some advice. Lana jackson lawton oklahoma

While driving approximately 40 MPH, my 2007 jeep wrangler sahara stalled while in motion. It then lost all power steering, etc. Momentarily and then started itself back up without any human intervention. This has also happened previously while making a low-speed turn in which it stalled completely and I was stopped in a busy traffic area on a blind curve with traffic coming both directions. Cars were coming both directions and there was almost an accident because they were avoiding me. I also had my 2 young children in the vehicle with me. I took the jeep to galeana chrysler jeep in columbia, sc twice. Both times, the technicians told me there were "no failure codes" so there was no work that they could do.

I own a 2007 jeep wranger unlimited (4-door) yesterday I was driving on a rural highway between 60-70mph and I lost all power, the radio shut down and I looked down at my dash and all my lights lit up. I felt the engine shut down as I begun to move to the shoulder all the power came back up. I came home to tell my husband and he looked on the internet and found similar situations being reported. I called my local dealer and the dealer I purchased the car from and they both had no idea about this being an issue. My concern is will this be an ongoing issue and can it be fixed. I don't want to be driving at a fast speed to have this happen again, this cannot be safe. The dealers said they would run diagnostics but will that truly identify the issue if this has happened only once.

While driving on the hwy at around 75-80 MPH, the jeep shut off, forcing both myself and passenger to fly towards the windshield.luckily we had on our seat belts, otherwise I would have hit the steering wheel and probably wrecked, there were cars on both sides of us, very scary!!!.after three or four seconds the jeep came back on and ran great until the next time this happened, around 60 on hwy.all electrical and engine turns off with no brakes, steering and panel lights.this has happen three times and the dealership cannot duplicate the problem, so it goes unfixed.I love the jeep, but safety first.
