I have a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited x, automatic with 10,500 miles. I was traveling down an on ramp going about 40mph, light on the throttle and the jeep hesitated, all of the gauges (speedometer, etc) shut off (showed 0), then all of the dash lights came on. During that 2 second period, I had no power steering, brakes or control over the throttle of the jeep. This could have been much worse. I know there is a recall that covers this, but my jeep falls out of the production date to get it taken care of. The "build" date is feb. Of 2007. I am not the only one with the problem and the current recall is not taking care of this issue. This needs to be address before someone (like my family) gets seriously hurt.

2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4x4 electrical complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 111, newest first, as owners wrote them.
See attached document. *tr the consumer stated the vehicle stalled on several occasions. The dealer was unable to duplicate the stalling problem. The consumer then received a recall regarding the totally integrated power module. The document stated the vehicle was programmed with software that may cause the engine to stall under certain operating conditions. The vehicle was reprogrammed. Soon after, the esp and bas control lights illuminated on the dashboard. Afterwards, the traction control system light illuminated.
Was driving at highway speeds 65 MPH all dash lights flashed on and radio cut out. Happened for a few seconds, then everything went back to normal. I believe the engine kept running and did not cut out.
While driving at 65mph in 5th gear with a manual, engine hesitated and than all dash lights illuminated for approx 3 seconds, the engine then continued as normal and the lights went off. Outside temperature 55 degrees, lights on, no AC or heat. Radio off, no other electronics in use.
When coasting to a stop, going uphill on a highway, the brake pedal locks-up when you put your foot on the brake. After a few seconds, it releases and brakes normally. This has happened 3 times at the same intersection (may 2007, august 2007, sept. 2007). All three times resulted in near-miss accidents. The vehicle was in for repair for this problem, but the dealer could not replicate it. Even though he could not replicate the problem, the service manager advised us to get rid of the car because it was an obvious safety issue. On 9/14, while the car was still at the dealer, chrysler announced a recall for this incident and advised customers that had experienced this problem to take the car to the dealer immediately. Ours has now been there for 6 weeks, with no end in sight. We have also had the engine stall when traveling on a twisty road near our residence. This has happened 1 time. This problem has occurred in the same model as ours, but was believed to have been addressed before ours was built. However, we still have the problem and no solution from chrysler.
Driving home on a friday, all the dash lights came on, the speedometer; tach, odometer and temp gauge stopped working. It kept running, so I drove it home. Got home, would not restart with either key. Remotes did not work either. Had it towed to the dealer. They were too busy to look at it, they said maybe monday! Monday and now they have to call the tech line, never seen this problem before. I had the reflash done for the stall bug at 12k, 4k ago. Like the vehicle, but too many electronic and software bugs!! I am starting to wonder if we should be reimbursed for doing jeep's development testing. With these types of issues making it to the field, I wonder what they found during development that we don't know about.
My jeep stalling at all speeds !! Esp light will flash and car will began to jerk and stall. This problem appears very dangerous since it is not predictable. I have also noticed a knocking sound when this happens . I have read that the transmission is also being affected. Will chrysler address this issue before people get killed ? Dealership says there is no fix for it yet......please help !!!!!!!!
While driving home in traffic at normal speeds the vehicle etc light came on and ran very rough with high and low revs. I had to pull over and shut down the jeep wait a few min and restart and it went back to normal. It has now happened 2 times.
2007 four door 4x4 jeep wrangler when driving about 15-20 miles and hour through a neighborhood the electronic stability program indicator came on and the vehicle immediatly slowed down to about 5-7 mile per hour, this happened about every 10-15 seconds for no reason. The road were dry, it happened on turns and while driving straight.
3 times while driving, all several months apart, the electrical board completely lights up and loss of power to brakes and steering for about 2 seconds. Everything goes back to normal and engine is running. There was no warning. Two of the incidents were under braking exiting the freeway and I almost went into the intersection. Luckily I have strong legs and the pavement was dry. Made an appointment at the service center. Will see what they say.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler 4 dr x unlimited 4wd. I saw the recall notice for the vehicles stalling manufactured before jan 2007. My vehicle was manufactured I believe in may of 2007 and the stall has happened twice. Radio goes off, engine died and all lights on the dash came on and appeared to reset. It's a manual transmission and the engine restarted because I was moving and still in gear. It only lasts about 2 seconds but during the time it is doing this the power steering is not functional.(I only know this because I was on a curved freeway on ramp during one of the times it did this.) I am only filing this complaint because it appears the recall (g25 I believe) does not seem to cover the full range of dates for affected vehicles as mine was manufactured in may of 2007.
My jeep has stalled on me three times total in about 9 months of ownership. Each time, I have been on a road trip and driving for an extensive period of time. The radio goes out, the jeep shuts off, all the lights on the dash come on and within about 3 seconds it turns itself on again. I am taking it in for service to have the tipm reprogrammed which I hope will correct the situation.
2007 jeep wranger unlimited x 4 door engine stall. 5 occurrences total, 4 prior to completion of tipm reprogram as part of the federal safety agency and chrystler recall g25 in july 2007 1 additional occurrence in august 2007.
Long crank/start and low engine idle (near stalling). Dealer said they fixed (at 300 miles, but problem persists after being in shop one week ago (total of 900 miles). Chrysler corp is not interested in telling customers about the problems before you buy. They sell you the vehicle and get your money, then try to fix, but they have my money now and could care less.
When driving my 2007 jeep, it has 2x, completely shut off while going about 70 MPH in traffic. I took it to bondy's jeep dothan, looked at by service depart. And given back - nothing wrong. The second time, returned to bondy's, some wiring harnesses were replaced. Then recall was issued, took it back-they fixed recall. Continued to have issues, been to bondy's eight times. It has not shut completely off again that was pretty scary - but the dashboard lights up with errors and I lose power everything (air conditioner, signals, radio, entire control panel, etc?). The same thing happened when it shut off completely, so my concern is that it will happen again. If I were to pull out onto a highway, that could be it. Please advise me on what action I need to take. Following is a timeline of what has been going on. I have not been able to get anyone from jeep to call me to help me with this issue. I have only been working third party with my local jeep dealer, who has been great, but has not yet solved any issues. 4/14/2007 jeep cuts completely off while going 70 MPH on hwy 431 all cluster lights lit up. 4/15/2007 jeep cuts off completely again pulling out of the grocery store parking lot. 4/17/2007 took it to bondy's. Got it back on 4/19/2007. Service dept stated it was fixed. 4/26/2007 all clusters lit up like before but did not shut off. No air conditioner, radio, nothing electric worked. Took to bondy's. 7/11/2007 same thing 7/12/2007 recall received by mail, took to bondy's. 8/2/2007 it happened again. 8/3/2007 took to bondy's left it with the service dept. Do not have it back yet. It has been at bondy's 39 days total since time of purchase, in the service dept.
2007 jeep wrangler intermittently stalls at highway speeds and at idle. Recall has been performed to reprogram PCM but problem still exists.
My family and I were driving up an off road trail out of telluride, colorado, when the jeep suddenly lost all power, many dash lights illuminated the vehicle acted like the engine shut off. The engine, however, was still idling at approximately 1000 RPM's, however when the gas pedal was pressed, the RPM's would not rise, the engine's rpms would not audibly increase and no power was transferred to the wheels. This caused the jeep to cease any forward movement and force me to roll backward to a small pull out on the single lane, mountain-side road. I put the transmission in park, shut off the engine with the keyed ignition, waited approximately 2 mintutes and restarted the jeep. Upon restart, the jeep regained all normal function, all of the dash lights which had been previously illuminated (minus the transmission light) had shut off. The jeep was turned around eventually and driven back down the mountain. Had this failure happened on a different pass--one much steeper and with no cutouts such as "black bear pass" (which is nearby and where were heading), this failure could have been fatal. It is this author's opinion this "stall bug", at least on my vehicle, is attributed to the transfer case and/or transmission heating up. This is attributed to these facts: a smell was noticed just a short time before the engine quit. The transfer case was in "4hi" (four wheel drive - high range) prior to the engine quitting. After the engine stalled, the transfer case was put in "4lo" (four wheel drive - low range) and the problems ceased. Since this stall, all off road excursions have been in "4lo" and the stall bug has not re-appeared, despite the fact that steeper hills in more inhospitable terrain in the same weather have been driven over with no repeat of the stall bug. Further, the distinct smell which was noticed just prior to the stall bug occuring has not been noticed since then (when utilizing 4lo).
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4-dr 4x4. The manufacturer stated that the odometer disclosure on the vehicle was 84 miles and that the contact was not the original owner. The dealer stated that the odometer disclosure was 10 miles. The current mileage was 35,019 and the failure mileage was inapplicable.
On four occasions since purchasing the vehicle, while driving at highway speeds, the engine has stalled and all of the electrical components lost power for about 1.5 to 2 seconds. Everything then returned to normal operation. When this occurs, all of the dash lights come on as though the ignition key was in the "on" position, as it is just before starting the car, then all returned to normal. This is a frightening experience at highway speeds. Should a driver be in the midst of an emergency maneuver during one of these occurrences, a serious accident can happen. This first happened in december , and the dealer where the vehicle was purchased replaced the ignition switch, but this has happened three additional times, the last being the date listed on this complaint. The service department at the dealership has been notified and the service representative has informed me that he noted all four reported incidents in the computer system.
While driving at 55 MPH jeep lost power for about 4 seconds. Dash lights flashed on, radio turned off, then power restored on its own. Very scary.
June 22, 2007 wa s the first incident. The newly purchased 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited was stopped at an intersection. The engine spontaneously shut off. My wife had to turn the key to the off position, then restart the engine. I immediately scheduled a service appointment at the car dealer. The service representative said that the chrysler technician determine d the problem to be the fuel injection wiring harness. It was replaced. On july 7, 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited shut off again, while driving at approximately 75 MPH on the freeway. This was a 100 degree day. I pulled to the side of the road, stopped the vehicle and restarted the engine.
I have a 2007 jeep unlimited x. It stalled twice with only 4000 miles. Once at approximately 50 MPH and the other at around 25mph. All of the lights on the inside lit up and I lost lighting from the outside. When I tried to start back up both times, it started right back up. I have no idea what the issue is but I have seen other similar reports from jeepforum.com.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4. While driving approximately 45 MPH in normal conditions, the vehicle stalled while making a right turn. Immediately following the failure, all of the instrument panel lights illuminated and the vehicle restarted. The contact called the manufacturer and the dealer. The dealer reset the computer, but could not duplicate the failure. The current and failure mileages were 19,000. Updated 07/25/07
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited stalled on several occasions from low to highway speeds resulting in loss of control, braking and steering. Thankfully, no one was hurt but had this been in traffic, around a sharp turn or in the mountains this could have been fatal. There are thousands of cases of this in various jeep forums and someone is going to die if daimler chrylser doesn't feel the pressure to find a fix.
While driving on highway the jeep wrangler sahara 2007 model started to stall and hesitate, and dashboard lights flickered; engine light and seatbelt light came on; I pressed on the accelerator and the car kicked into gear and kept going.
Car died , loss of all power and electric) pulling out on to a 6 lane highway. Almost got rear ended as the car stalled, then restarted by itself. This a brand new 2007 jeep wrangler jk with only 3400 miles on it.
2007 jeep wrangler sahara stalled unexpectedly on two occasions while driving at low speed. The first time in early march 2007 it was pouring rain and I went through a big puddle which sent water under the vehicle. The car cut off and all the dash light lit up, and the seat belt went off. The car started back up in about 2 seconds by itself. I have assumed the water shorted out for a few seconds and thought nothing else of it. The second time it happened was on june 10, 2007. We were slowing down at stop light and it just cut out. The dash lights came on , the anti-skid light and another red light) I though the car behind us rear ended us because there was a little jerk , rear tires locked. We had to restart to car. It started right up and we continued on. I haven't been to the dealer yet. I was researching the problem on the internet and saw there had been 53 reports of the same thing happening so I figured I should report it also.
Vehicle suddenly and briefly died in heavy traffic at over 70 MPH. Slowed suddenly, then restarted by itself. Could easily have been a life threatening incident. Second time this has happened. First time was a few months ago when vehicle went completely dead. Later that day, was towed to dealer and repaired under warranty. I am currently out of town working, and do not have access to the vehicle's VIN. Mileages and day of purchase were estimates.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4dr 4x4. Hile driving on I-83 at about 10 MPH the vehicle stalled. All lights, radio, engine and options were completely dead for a couple of seconds. Before I could get off the highway all power returned ,and I let out the clutch and started the engine. All dash indicator lights came on briefly. The jeep was fine since and this is the only time this occured in about 7k miles. The dealer did a thorough diagnostic and nothing is wrong. I saw that this is not a unique situation and am just a bit concerned that it might happen again. I travel dc-baltimore alot and no lights, no power on the beltways could be very bad.
On two separate occasions I was driving less than 10 MPH and coming to a stop when the engine stalled for no apparent reason. I was aware of this potential hazard due to my research on jk-forum.com where other 2007 jeep wrangler owners have experienced similar problems to mine. I experienced the engine stalling issue around 3700 miles and a second time at approximately 7500 miles. No check engine light comes on, I just shift into neutral and restart the vehicle and continue to drive. However I cannot replicate this stall condition and I'm nervous about it happening at higher speeds.
