Total loss of power while driving at 55 MPH, all dash warning lights came on and lost engine power. I was able to pull of road safely and car died completely. This is 4th time this has occurred. First time, with less than 75000 miles and jeep dealer replaced battery. Second time was on vacation and died on freeway in harrisburg, pa, was towed to aaa shop and battery was replaced. Third time was near my home and husband recharged battery and taken to a local shop, who replaced alt. , that was yesterday. Tonight, on the way to work, happened again. Every time, no warning, dash lights come on a car dies. Any of these could have caused an accident but was lucky to get off the road safely.
2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4x4 electrical complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 111, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On the 2008 jeep wrangler (lhd) dashboard, the airbag warning light flashes on every other minute with a chime, an indication that there is something malfunctioning or interfering with the vehicle's airbags.this has been a recurring issue and concern for many 2007 jeep wrangler (lhd) owners, including myself, and has been shown time and time again to be caused by a faulty clockspring within the vehicle's steering wheel. This faulty clockspring is the culprit for potential airbag failure in the 2007 jeep wrangler (lhd) during an accident or premature deployment when simply driving around. Daimler chrysler has refused to address the safety concern of their faulty clockspring that can cause failure of the vehicle's airbags from properly deploying."
Clock spring recall for air bag failure on 07 wrangler, mine is doing the very same but no recall on my jeep. This is an extreme safety hazard and I would expect a defective part to be replaced not at my cost. I thought I was buying dependability but now my family is at risk. Blinker, horn no longer work, air bag light comes on.
Driving at 35mph dash illuminates random lights, speed odometer fluctuates back and forth 0 to current speed, dash board dings and car slows and spontaneously stalls. Restarts immediately. This first incident occurred ages months back without stalling now is happening frequently . Will not be driving this car again until problem is identified and fixed, too risky.
The jeep sat in my drive way for half hour before I took it out. Got 200 yards from my home and I lost power steering,horn and wipers going off with out touching any of them then the jeep shut off and smoke poured out from the passenger side of the engine compartment. Lifted the hood and the right side of the inner fender was on fire! With in minutes the right side of the jeep engine compartment was destroyed. The fuse box , battery, and wiring harness where destroyed. The fire department said it started in the fuse box. This jeep is completely stock and as been perfect till this! Never any issues in the year half I own it!
Vehicle stalled while driving. First the horn goes off, then all lights on the dash board go off, then it finally stalled. Took it to the dealer 2x and both times was told nothing wrong. Why is the jeep dealership, the ones that should know the vehicle better than any other mechanic, tell me there is nothing wrong when there clearly is a problem? I'm concerned for my safety and cannot drive the car until its fixed. The only problem is that the dealership is charging me $100 each time and telling me there is nothing wrong.
My wife and I have experienced at least five (5) incidents where the vehicle engine stalls/kills and either restarts itself or has be manually restarted via ignition key. The symptoms mirror exactly those described in the federal safety agency action number pe07027. (driving on highway when vehicle dash lights up as if freshly started, and sometimes needs to be manually restarted, and sometimes has restarted itself) the first incident was experienced by my wife in august of 2009, and the vehicle was subsequently inspected by jeep dealer [xxx] motors of minocqua, wi, who after inspection and road test reported "no trouble found." (per my invoice dated 8/24/09) at that point the vehicle was under warranty with 33,054 miles on the odometer, and I was charged $35.25 for that service item. The most recent incident occurred october 14, 2013, and was witnessed by my son. In that case I was driving approximately 75 MPH on I-70 approaching I-15 in utah when the engine stalled. The vehicle needed to be manually restarted via key. That was the 3rd incident I've experienced in the past 5 months.
This has occurred while driving and while keys were not even in the ignition. I was driving down the road and the horn started honking, wipers went off and windshield fluid started spraying every where. It has done it several times. It has also done this just when opening the doors and no keys in the ignition. It blinks through the gears on the transmission and has locked up the traction control. I have had it in to the dealership several times and it is just now possibly diagnosed with tipm. Im part of a jeep club in which we have an online forum and this in not just happening to my jeep its happening to many jeeps and I feel its a major safety concern. Chrysler has paid for several of the jeeps on the forum, so far they haven't paid for mine but I think this issue really needs to be addressed.
Esp computer system failure, faulty ABS module, electrical failure.
On this date I had ussues with the electronic throttle control, stared jeep and the etc light came on , enginge ran rought then died , did this aprox 3 times, then read manual for guidance, it said to cycle the key a few times . Then tried again , ran ok but seems to be holding back, reading online posts this is a common problem, a stall in traffic could be fatal , need n open recall on all models and years, I am now hesitant to drive it. And knowing my dealership it will be a figment of my imagination or they will use me for an atm$$$$
My jeep wrangler stalled one day and never would restart due to what the dealer later discovered is the malfunction of the totally integrated power module which apparently is a wide spread issue with jeeps. My vehicle has been in the dealers shop in oak ridge tn for more than a month now and they are unable to get the part from the manufacture due to what they say is a back order which seems to be getting pushed back further and further on the release date as they have stated. This part has been documented as faulty and a recall for a software reprogram dating back to 2007 was issued for multiple malfunctions of this part and I as a consumer think the public should know that jeep is incapable of producing and supplying this part in a timely manner and therefore its likely many are still driving a vehicle that is not only prone to have a stalling condition but in many cases it will be diagnosed as needing a parts replacement for various tipm problems including complete failure. It should be the responsibility of the federal safety agency to investigate daimler chrysler and their poor practices of recognizing faulty conditions and the failure to replace or act on faulty components that impact safety and drivability of their vehicles.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4. While the contact was driving approximately between 40-45 MPH attempting to change lanes, the vehicle began to pull to the right violently. The contact was able to gain control and continue driving normally. The traction control, electronic stability control and ABS warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The warning light remained illuminated until the engine was turned off. The authorized dealer and manufacturer were notified and stated the failure could be related to a faulty sensor and recommended the vehicle be diagnosed to determine the specific sensor. The approximate failure mileage was 61,000.
When turning on jeep the starter keeps going, have to turn off key and restart to get it to quit. Seems like the starter locks?
2007 4 door jeep wrangler. Noticed oil leak in february 20th. At first appearance assumed it was from oil change. As of now it appears it is a front main seal on the motor... Really! A 4yr. Old vehicle with 63,000 miles?! Shouldn't be happening by my p.o.v... Also, power windows have failed to function on two occasions. And, interior light doesn't come on when passenger side door is opened. Either way, thank you for your time.
6 months prior, vehicle would randomly not start. Noticed corrosion on battery, cleaned and replaced connection parts. It worked fine until today. Power locks went out. Checked fuse, was blown. Noticed more corrosion on battery on opposite side this time. Tried replacing fuse and it blew as we were replacing it (sparks coming out of connection, melting a prong). Cleaned off battery corrosion and got absolutely no power to the vehicle when tried to start it. Cleaned in between battery/wire connections and when reassembling the horn, wipers, coolant fan, and lights would randomly go on & off. Vehicle would randomly have power to start, then would not work again. Ended up towing it to dealer, without power. Currently waiting for diagnosis.
Driving approx 30-45 miles per hour. While car was in motion all the dashboard lights (all the warning lights) flashed on and then went off and then the fuel level went to zero and the low fuel level light remained on. Put the car in park, turned car off then turned the car on and everything appeared to be working as normal. Incident occurred 2 times in 3 mths. 1st time power steering went out and break was difficult to push down. Contacted chrysler and opened case. Dealership cannot replicate the problem ? Suggest I remove the key chains. Call back if I experience the problem again.
Instrument cluster went out car died than re-started.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited randomly stalls. Dash lights light up and engine stalls with complete loss of power steering and braking--this has occurred at 60 MPH and as low as 10 MPH. Has been taken to dealership and they cannot replicate the issue. It continues to be a problem.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4x4 - 1. Everytime I fill gas tank, gas overflows out of tank at me and down side of jeep. Serious safety issue. 2. Driving on the highway the other day and 3 different malfunction indicator lights came on in a matter of seconds, jeep powered off. No power steering or brakes, traveling approximately 60 MPH. Very odd, scary and unsafe??? Car is at dealership, no clue why this happened at this time. Dealership needs to take engine apart at an estimated cost of $900. What is chrysler going to do about these issues.?
The sway bar will not reconnect on my 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited jk rubicon making it unsafe to drive at freeway speed.
I was driving at 55mph and ran over a badly maintained road bump (a 3ft section of pavement spanning both lanes of a 2 lane rd. That had no stone in it to level it off) and my 2007 jeep 4dr wrangler unlimited sahara lost engine power. All power options in turn lost power. I managed to pull the jeep to the side of the road. I turned the key off and attempted to restart it. It started back up with no further incident. This same power loss occurred once before after driving on a wet road on a rainy day. That 2nd occurrence lasted about 1second and then re-powered.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler. The fire started under the hood on the drivers side of the vehicle. The fire department stated that the fire was electrical. The vehicle was destroyed. An authorized inspector diagnosed the failure and submitted a notice by mail stating that there was no defect and no repairs would be covered by the warranty. The insurance rendered the vehicle a total lost. Vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 35,000.
My vehicle would not start on occasions. I will not know when this problem will occur.I have taken the vehicle to the dealer five (5) times since july 8, 2008 after they have told me the situation has been remedied. The battery and starter have been changed before july 8, 2009. This problem started in 2008.
I drive a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4-door. The very first week I bought the car (march, 2007) I was driving on the highway and the radio shut off, the dashboard powered off and the jeep seemed to lose power for about 2-3 seconds and then it came back on again. I pulled over, called the dealer, and they said a recall has been identified and I should be receiving it shortly. Wrong! The recall was for the brakes. Since 2007, the radio/dashboard has been cutting in and out about 10 times a year. Everytime I take it to the dealer, they say nothing is wrong with it.
I see similar complaints listed here. The whole ip just blanks out at random times. I have just shy of 50k miles and this has happened at least 4 times. The engine keeps running and the car is functional but the speedo, tach, odometer and all gauges go blank, but all the warning lights come on. Then everything resets and comes back to normal.
Driving at highway speeds with cruise control engaged, headlights on and radio on. Radio cutout and all dash lights (idiot) came on, the radio came back on within about 2 seconds and all dash lights went out after about 5 seconds. Cruise control did not disengage and there was no apparent loss of engine power. This is the first occurrence of this situation, no obd-ii codes are stored in the computer. There are no lasting effects and appears to running normally.
1. At night on january 17, 2008 at 10:30 in the evening, my family an I were driving approximately 45 MPH down a us highway in our 2007 jeep jk wrangler 4-door. 2. Without warning of any type, all of the jeep's power shut off - headlights, engine, dash lights, everything electrical shut off. The vehicle's power came back on in approximately 2-3 seconds. Upon the electrical power returning on, all of the dashes warning lights flashed on for a few seconds. The dash warning lights for the esp, traction control and mil (malfunction indicator light) remained on until I drove home (about 2 miles). 3. When home, I attempted to restart the car to see if the error warning lights would remain in - the mil was the only light that remained on. I will call the dealership tomorrow for diagnostic troubleshooting. However, this was an extremely frightening experience since it was snowing and I lost power without warning on an ice covered road. I checked the jeep website with my VIN number, and according to the website there are no recalls outstanding for my vehicle.
Occasional, apparent vehicle master computer reset occurs during normal driving. Results in momentary stalling. This has happened about 5 times since I bought the car (in 2007). I have read that this known issue and the vendors claims to have issued software patches to resolve the problem. The patches have been applied to my vehicle but the problem still remains. I have had the car to several dealers for repair - they did not find anything they could fix and did not recommend replacing the computer. I want this problem on record in case a crash does at some point occur.
2007 wrangler jk electronic throttle control warning illuminates followed by power loss while driving including complete engine shut-down in traffic. Dealer replaced electronic throttle control...problem came back - dealer #2 now replacing e.t.c. Wiring harness. According to bloggers problem is common and widespread. Also learned chrysler had a july 2007 recall of 80,000 vehicles which I was never informed of or recalled. I'm afraid on the highway at 55mph the engine will shut down and I will be hit from behind by an 18-wheeler. I live near and drive on I-95 just outside nyc, one of the heaviest traffic areas in the USA. I need help/resolution!!!
I started my car and attempted to pull out of the driveway when the engine light turned on and the car began to shake. I stopped the car, kept the engine on and let it sit for a 5 minutes and warm up. I put it in drive again and made it 1 block when the engine light started blinking, the engine began to sputter, and smoke was seen coming out of the muffler and hood of my jeep. I opened the hood only to be consumed with the smell a gas. When the tow truck driver arrived, he explained that I was very lucky as the car engine would have caught on fire if I would have continued to drive one more block. The dealership initially thought it was the fuel igniter, as it was found stuck open. They ended up replacing the wiring for the electrical system that controlled the igniter instead. So far it's running fine.
