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.

2007 jeep wrangler would no start after being parked for 2 days, waited 10 minutes and it started. Same day I was driving 65 MPH and it stalled/died completely with all dash light coming on. Jeep was hauled by a wrecker to dealership for repair, the wrecker driver drove the jeep onto the wrecker and off the wrecker. The dealership could not duplicate the problem, they replaced the ignition switch. Picked up on 7/23, vehicle was parked for a wee, 8/1-8/3, it started up and drove fine. On 8/4 parked and it wouldn't start again. Waited 1 hour and it started, drove to dealership again. They couldn't duplicate the problem, so far it sits for 15 minutes after stalling, it will start. The dealership reprogrammed ABS module and steering angle sensor road test, no faults and all sensors working properly. Did reprogram tipm, could not duplicate stalling. Left dealership on 8/6/09, drove 2 days no problems. 8/8 stalled while driving 65 MPH, all dash lights came on and was still able to roll windows down. Started after 5 minutes, parked for 5 hours, car started but after going 20 yds. The A/C cut off, back on and continued to do this for 30 minutes. A/c started running ok and then the jeep stalled again traveling 50 MPH, no where to get off highway, parked in the road on a hill and was almost hit from behind. Sheriff deputy pulled up, car started 15 minutes later and sheriff followed me home. The dealership said they don't know what to do and want me to leave it with them until they can duplicate while their. I'm afraid to drive it for fear of being rearended by another vehicle. When it stalls you can only travel a few yards and it's hard to get off the road to safety. I have read about other 2007 jeeps doing this and I truly understand the other drivers fear for their life. Please investigate as soon as possible.

I have a 2007 jeep sahara jk four door. Traveling westbound on the 10 freeway in pamona, ca in the car pool lane with cruise control on going about 70mph. I had been traveling this way for about 20 minutes going straight ahead. The engine appeared to stall. The speedometer went to zero even though I wascoasting. The RPM read about 800. I keep pumping the gas pedal, every once in a while I would get a spurt of speed but had an overall reduction of speed. I had to navigate over double yellow lines, between semi's to get to the shoulder. After stopping I turned the key off then on again. It started right up and I continued the rest of the 150 miles. The dash displayed two icons. One was the esp symbol and the other was a red lighting bolt in between two vertical red lines. I called the dealer, shaver jeep, in san bernardino. The service guy said this wasn't uncommon. He hypothesize the esp system sensed a need to turn on causing the computer to take control. I assured him I was going straight and had not made any turns or hit any bumps. It happened out of the blue. If this was the reason, the computer made a false interpretation and it should have turned control back to the driver after the correction was made instead of losing speed on a busy freeway.

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.

Second time engine stalled while driving at 70 MPH for approximately 4 seconds and then resumed . No power steering, brakes, and all dashboard lights on then regained functions to run. Raining with headlights on, air conditioner , windshield wipers and radio were on. No codes were stored ,so how can you fix it. I thought it was a voltage problem, but chrylser had no answers. So, after my family was dead from an accident they could blame me, I guess.

During normal driving, my vehicle will stall. Has happened twice since I have owned it (5 months). Total loss of all power steering, brakes, and electrical in the vehicle. Dealer told me on both occasions that since the vehicle did not report a code in the computer, there was nothing they could do.
