1: driving at highway speed with 3400 miles on the car. 2: all dashboard lights came on and engine stopped. Within a few seconds, the vehicle resumed operation. 3: nothing has been done. I have been researching and waiting for this issue to occur, as it has for many other 2007 jeep wrangler owners. It will be going in to the dealer, but as of late, there is no "fix" for this issue.
I own a 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4 door and I have been reading often about something called the stall bug. I have had the vehicle since the end of february 2007 and had no mechanical problems until I had approximately 5000 miles. I took a road trip to south carolina from nyc and was on the highway iin sc when I felt a sudden loss of power . The dashboard lights came on ,and the radio and the engine shut off and restarted within a second on its own. I thought I was lucky enough to not get a jeep with this problem but it seems I was wrong. I hope something can be done about this. I read that people have brought their jeep to the dealer and they can't find anyting wrong.
Engine stalled, loss of power when driving at any speed.
While traveling at night down a county road at approximately 60 MPH the headlights went off for almost a second, the dash lights lit up like a christmas tree, the engine bogged and all accessories went off, and then came back on as if the ignition had just been turned on. The engine's power returned, and it continued as if nothing happened. The brake light stayed illuminated for 3-5 minutes after. Prior to this, there was a similar incident, though it was in the daylight and I was unable to see the dash lights light up or the headlights come on, however the engine bogged and the bas light lit up. The problem is intermittent and I have not yet had an opportunity to take the vehicle to the dealership yet.
The jeep jk 2007 stalls at highway sppeds. I have read about it on a website. It has occurred to me only onceit happened after 2 hours of 65 MPH driving. The jeep slowly seemed to lose power then suddenly shut off and back on again. It has not happened since.
I was just accelerating going from 55 to 65 MPH when my 2007 jeep wrangler had what was like a hiccup. The electrical supply cut out and the jeep acted as if it would stall but then kicked back in within a couple seconds.

My 2007 jeep wrangler has stalled a couple of times while driving, it turns off and then I have to turn it back on, it is scary that this happens while I am driving
Engine stall total electrical failure at highway speed
Our jeep has stalled while driving on the freeway and while sitting at idle. It is accompanied by the dashboard lighting up like a christmas tree and then the entire electrical system going out. This includes the headlights extinguishing at high speeds on the freeway--very scary.
I was at a stop sign coming out of a subdivsion and while pulling out onto a busy road the jeep went dead for a few seconds and started back up. I was sitting in the middle of the busy road trying to get to the side or at least going enough to not get hit by oncoming traffic. This has only happened once so far but seems alot of other owners are having the same experience.
While driving on the highway, all of my dashboard lights lit up and my vehicle lost all power; ie: the radio and the blower shut off and my rpms dropped. The same thing happened 3 other times under different conditions.
I have an 07 wrangler unlimited jk. The vehicle stalled while I was driving it. Luckily I was only going about 20mph thru a parking lot when incident occurred.. I have also lost all of power to dash while windows were being rolled up. I took it to the dealer and they repaired problem w/ a computer flash.
I had no previous problems with the vehicle stalling. The vehicle was running with no noticable difference the day of the incident. I was pulling off from a traffic light and I felt the power from the engine cut out. I looked at my instruments and the tach dropped to zero and all the instrument lights went out. No more than one to two full seconds later all of the instrument lights came on and went through the normal sequence like the vehicle was just started. The engine came back to life and the vehicle ran as though there was no problem. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they said it did not store a code in the computer and they could not replicate the prblem. I have had no other failures. I don't remember the exact date of the failure, but I am sure I have a copy of the service record in my glove box from when I took it to the dealer. I will be happy to cooperate with any investigation and provide the documentation if needed.
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler 4dr 4wd that has stalled twice while traveling at highway speeds. The vehicle has less than 6,000 miles and I've reported the problem to the dealer and they say they can't find anything wrong with it. The first occurrence occurred during the day while traveling at approximately 65mph for over an hour. The vehicle cut out, all the dash lights came on, I lost power steering, and within 3 seconds the vehicle "re-started" itself on its own. The second occurrence occurred several months later while traveling at 70mph for over an hour. The incident occurred at night and the same thing happened. All the sudden the engine cut out, I lost headlights, and within 3 seconds the vehicle came back on and everything was fine. Again, I reported to the dealer, at they couldn't find anything.
My jeep has died on me 3 times:1) in jan 07; 2 mos after I bought it-while in transit on the freeway @ 70mph all power was lost, engine shut down, lasted about 5 sec. It came back on-on its own while still moving. 2) 03/07 while in transit, @ 10mph shut down, had to put it in park and restart it. 3) may 07- while aproaching a red light, it shut down, had to put it in park and restart it. Every single time its ocurred I have taken it in the the service dept and they are unable to find the malfunction. The third instance, they installed an autopilot- to record the malfunction, but on ly let me keep it for 1 1/2 weeks because the service department only has 1 in the whole shop, and they cannot spare me the autopilot for the length of time that it might take for the issue to reocurr, of course nothing happened. I believe that this customer service is a joke, & feel it is a major hazard, to continue to drive around like this, I fear that it may stall while on the freeway and get hit by another traveling vehicle. Another issue is the ignition/starter, it seems to randomly get stuck- and sounds as though I am still turning the key when my hand is not even touching it. I am frustraded with this lemon and would like to know who else is having the same issues- because I am not getting any solutions from the service department & manufacturer.
The 2007 4 door jeep wrangler died at a light after I had it about one month. Throughout my ownership the starter or ignition , I didn't know which, stuck when trying to start it periodically. The biggest concern was that last weekend while driving on the interstate at about 70 MPH the engine got really loud for a minute and then all of the dashboard lights flew on. I believed that the engine had started to stall but then caught. I took vehicle to the dealership, and they couldn't recreate the problem, ran diagnostics, and then searched the jeep database and found nothing. If you investigated the internet there were dozens of people who were having the same problems. Two people ny and minnesota contacted me and said that the problem was the throttle control. One of them stated that his dealership had called the jeep help line and got it fixed. Therefore, I knew that it should be in their database - but it wasn't showing when searched as being done by dealerships. I was scared that one of these times while I was on the interstate the engine was going to die and steering will go out. On the jeep websites, numerous people have actually had to restart their engines while driving.

I was driving toward a red light, and slowing down at 35 MPH, I and had my father in the vehicle when the radio shut off, there was a slight jerk in the vehicle, all the lights on the dash came on, and then everything continued like normal. I had 1/8 of a tank of gas, and it was 87 degrees out. This was the third time that my vehicle stalled. The last time I was reversing out of a space, and damage was caused.

Driving to work, automatic, and the engine stalled all dash lights came on, radio went out along with power brakes and steering. It felt like it was in neutral but I was in drive. It lasted about 2 seconds them restarted itself and was "normal" for the rest of the day. This could of been a huge problem if I were on a steep hill (up or down) or in heavy traffic. There seems to be a lot of people having this problem, if you want to see more go to any jeep jk unlimited 4 door forum and do a search for the "stall bug".
I was driving at a speed of 70 MPH on the interstate when the car lost all electrical power. The loss of power lasted only a few seconds and then powered back up. The engine also stopped during this time. It was extremely alarming and could have resulted in a serious accident. I took the car to the dealer and they said that they have had other owners with this problem. I am unsure what they did to correct the issue.
