While driving on the highway at 70 MPH (cruise control enabled) the car started surging as if someone were pumping the gas pedal. It did this for approximately 10 seconds then the engine died. I was in traffic and it took a few seconds to figure out what had happened. I was lucky to have a manual transmission because the second I pressed on the clutch I lost all power steering and power brake function. I was in the middle of traffic and cars started passing me on either side. This could have easily LED to an accident. I will be taking it in to the dealer asap.

While driving the vehicle stalled while coming to a stop. As it idled to ~600 rpms the engine died. The car was restarted, and the vehical stalled again at the next intersection. The only light that was lit was the throttle control warning light. Preceeding this occurrence, on 6 separate occasions, the throttle control warning light would come on while driving. The only direction in the manual was to turn the vehicle off and then on again. I have seen several complaints about this stall bug associated with the 2007 jeep wrangler jk. I could only hope that this did not occur again, and am fortunate it occurred while I was at low speeds.

I was on the freeway with my cruise control on when my vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly slowed down. I moved my foot to the accelerator and found that the vehicle had substantially less power than normal. When the vehicle slowed, the electronic throttle warning light began to flash and the stability control light came on. After pulling off the road and cycling the ignition, the vehicle returned to normal. I brought it to the dealer and they could find nothing wrong. I searched jeepforum.com and found 3 other instances of the electronic throttle having issues.
