Cruise control went out about a year ago. Recently the airbag light comes on intermittently with a warning tone. Appears to be a faulty clockspring.

The 2007 jeep wrangler 4 door has seemed to have several complaints regarding violent shaking. This has happened to me several times where the vehicle shakes so violently it feels like you are having a tire blown out. It almost throws you off the road. I was almost in an accident on the highway. I am nervous and do not think this vehicle is safe.

The throttle control light came on at 40 MPH and then started flashing and I had no throttle and had to drive home on idle. This was a used car on the way home from purchase. The jeep dealer had it for three days and says the garage computer corrected the problem, but it still happens about one a month, I have to pull over, shut the key off and restart for it to work.

2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4dr 4x4. At speeds over 50 MPH, the front tires begin to shake and wobble violently. The shaking only stopped after I came to a complete stop. This happened after I hit a bumpy road. My jeep has been a street vehicle and really not going on the highway many times. I only have under 9,000 miles. Now that I live in california, and I have to drive in highways, I feel very uncomfortable driving speeds over 50 miles per hour.

2007 jeep wrangler 4x4 safari with esp (electronic stability program). Esp intermittently turns on by itself and can't be turned off. It will eventually turn itself off. Dealer tells me it's caused by a defective clock spring in the steering column, which also controls the steering wheel air bag, cruise control and the horn! I feel this is a safety concern, if any of these devices quit working, because of a defective clock spring!!!!

My jeep wrangler has had the death wobble, issues with the safety belts not retracting properly [broke my hand] had stalling and suspension problems, I currently have a chip on the bottom underside of the winshield., when I had the death wobble the dealer told me I had to much weight on the front end from my bumper and winch,[I replaced the stabilizer wobble seems to have went away] they couldn't find a problem with the wobble or seat belts. It was my imagination, what I also had and is documented in the dealer files my accelerator stuck , I was fortunate some one else was driving so I could see his feet and the floor mats nothing was stuck when he stomped on the gas pedal it was just like the cruise control disengaged , my jeep doesn't have cruise control. The brakes scare me at times, feel like their not there from time to time, I tell who ever drives it not to trust the brakes, this is my last new chrysler, my hand still hurts. Maybe our goverment should force a recall like they did to toyota to date my jeep has only 22.000 miles on the odometer . Good luck all

Since the day I drove the 2007 4-door jeep wrangler sahara off the dealer's lot the electronic throttle control light kept coming on. I had to pull over every time the light came on and restart the car. I normally could not drive more than 5 miles until I have to pull over to restart the car. After reading about all of the stalling problems people were having I wa sconcerned about my safety and the safety of those riding with me. The stalling seemed to have something to do with the electronic throttle control system. I took vehicle to the dealer once and they did a software upgrade, but could not find any other problems. The light continued to come on. The dealership knew of no problems but after doing a tiny bit of research on the net, I have found that a lot of people were having this problem.

While driving 55 MPH my 2007 jeep rubicon ul quickly slowed to about 30 MPH. I was still pressing the gas pedal with no response. The vehicle felt like the esp was on, and swerved a little. The red lightning bolt light came on the dash and flashed. This happened once before, and me dealer looked at me jeep and said there was no problem. This is certainly a problem for me. I had a fully loaded log truck behind me when the jeep slowed, and was lucky that he was able to avoid crushing me. I pulled off the road, shut down the ignition and restarted. The light went off and the jeep ran normally.

While driving at roughly 70 MPH on highway throttle felt a little weird then the rpms dropped to zero as the electronic throttle control light on the dash came on. Immediately headed for the shoulder as I lost power steering and power braking although the electronic steering/braking system was alerted during my swerve towards the shoulder. The vehicle was very unresponsive. Upon reaching the shoulder the vehicle stalled. Turned off the vehicle, and then restarted it and cautiously returned home. Consulted the manual and it appeared that such events were expected and considered normal if the electronic throttle control light did not returned upon restarting the vehicle.*ak the vehicle has shown signs of repeating this trouble and during those times I have let off the throttle, down shifted and then shifted up again in hopes that whatever glitch was occurring would be reset. Conditions: late afternoon, 80*f, driving for about 45 minutes manual transmission , stereo was on.
