Filed Jan 13, 2015 · Electrical · 161,235 miles · NC

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
