Driving at highway speed, radio suddenly went off, all of the dashboard warning lights lit up, and I lost all power to the car. This lasted long enough for me to realize there was a problem and shift the automatic trans. Into neutral. The car regained power within a few seconds, I shifted back into drive, and went less than a mile to the dealer. They put it directly on the analyzer, no fault was detected. It was a clear day and my headlights were on.

Engine stalls while driving
I have a 2007 jeep wrangler and I have had continuous problems from it. From about 2000 miles till now 12000 miles I have had stalling problems. Usually while doing 65 or better on the interstate. It happens at different times not predictable at all. I brought it to three different dealerships and called a few extra. No one has heard of it and said that it checks out fine. I recently moved to alaska for my career and drove the jeep up here. It stalled three times on the way up here. All at speeds 55 or higher. And in oregon the jeep began making loud noises at low speeds. I brought it in there. They said there was an ABS recall and reset it. No explanation for the stalling. The stalling and noise still continues. First week in alaska my park quit working. 5 days later works fine. Dealership has no answer of any of the problems. To them it worked fine. It has a mind of its own and unfortunately it wont do it for them. I even suggested they keep it for a few days but they wouldn't. I called chrysler they said it needs to be diagnosed with a problem before they can help me out. I read similar problems with other owners on a forum and they said to contact you guys.
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 stalled upon acceleration up a hill started itself up again within 5 seconds. Intermittant rough idle/chugging occuring and becoming more frequent. Other times vehicle behaved as if stalled but recovered rapidly
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.
2007 jeep jk 4-door has stalled a couple of times. I've started my jeep about 10 times and the starter continues to run. I need to turn off the jeep for this to stop.
The problem has occurred three times now. The first time was about 2 months after purchasing the jeep on interstate 95 on cruise control at about 70mph. The jeep stalled, radio cut off, everything went blank, and rapidly deaccelerated. Then the whole dash lit back up, it restarted on its own and the rpms went way up them resumed as normal with a jerk back into gear. I nearl was rear ended by a truck tailing right behind me who honked, slammed brakes and jerked around me. I took it to the dearlership for an oil change and reported the problem. They told me there were no other reports on tsb and the computer found no problem, nor could they duplicate it so it must have been "working it's kinks out". I took it home. About two months later it once again did the same thing in stop and go traffic at about 25 MPH on interstate 495. This time I had to put it in park, people honking and cursing and restart it. I didn't take it in because I feared the same response. The third time about about 2 months later when my husband was driving me and guest from england on interstate 95 again, not on cruise control at about 65 MPH. It repeated the action from the first incident. It's been there four days now for the second try at correction with no update and failed returned calls from the service manager on an update.
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 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.
Running vehicle at highway speed (60 MPH), vehicle shut down immediately, leading to loss in steering and braking. Engine RPM's went to zero. About 4 seconds later, vehicle started back up at normal operating RPM's for speed and gear selection (6 th gear, 60 MPH, 2600 RPM).
Vehicle stalled without warning while traveling at slow speeds under low engine load. One occurrence was pulling out into traffic. Throttle becomes unresponsive, engine bogs down and stalls.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara. Stalled at 2,700 miles while traveling 45 MPH on a 4 lane divided highway. Vehicle completely shut off including power steering and brakes while engine continued to run. Was forced to move vehicle while still rolling into grass median. Vehicle "rebooted" 30 seconds later without me doing anything (I.e. Turning off or on) and was able to drive away. Luckily there was not heavy traffic as I had no means to stop quickly and the grass slowed me down in the median. Took to dealer and supposedly "flashed the PCM module" as my warranty receipt says. The jeep has now again stalled at 3,800 miles yesterday while going 35 miles an hour down my street.
While driving my 07 jeep wrangler unlimited with 3,400 miles on it at 65 MPH the electrical system momentarily cut out then all lights came on, chimes starting going, and horn was honking for a few seconds then everything went back to normal except my check engine light came on. Unfortunately it was sunday and I couldn't have the computer read. On monday the check engine light was off.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 jeep wrangler 4x4. While driving 65 MPH the instrument panel lights illuminated and there was a loss of power steering and brakes. This problem occurred on two occasions. The dealer stated that they were unable to duplicate the failure. Approximately ten minutes after leaving the dealer the vehicle experienced the same problem on four occasions. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle and it was towed to the dealer. The dealer has not determined the cause of the failure. The current mileage was 20 and the failure mileage was 16. The consumer stated after paying $8,000 in engine parts as of 6/15/07 the jeep still will not run. The consumer stated that daimler-chrysler contacted her to offer a buyback or replacement. The consumer stated she requested the buyback option as the stall defect is still being reported on the web. At the final inspection, the consumer noticed the door didn't shut properly. Updated 07/10/07
At approximately 8,100 miles, while driving through a subdivision at 25 MPH, vehicle engine shut off and restarted. Also had loss of power steering and the radio turned off. Both returned once the engine restarted. No action taken on my part, but vehicle speed did slow. Total time from shutdown to restart was one or two seconds. Have not scheduled dealer service yet.
Engine cuts out and all dash lights go on. As soon as I realize what is going on things are back to normal.has happened on at least 4 separate occasions. The first time was traveling about 45 MPH. The second time was doing 70 on i94 next to a semi tractor. The third time was on an exit ramp on i55 in joliet il. The last time was on june 1, 2007 while approaching a stop light. It has been brought to the attention of the dealer and they have dismissed it. Told me they have never heard of such a thing. On the last visit they said "the customer states the engine hesitates so bad he thinks it has stalled then will snap back and will accelerate normally". I was very frustrated when I red this because it is not hesitation it is a stall. The vehicle completely dies. This is dangerous and if it happens at the wrong time or if someone panics the consequences could be deadly.
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.
At a stop sign, the engine died. I tried to start it again, but the console remained blank and nothing happened. I had to push it off the road. After trying 5-6 more times, it finally started. There was no warning this would happened; it was very sudden. I'm afraid that this will happen on the highway. It could be very dangerous. The vehicle was completely dead for approx. 5 mins. The electric windows still worked during this time.
On multiple occasions, the vehicle has stalled at speed. Four out the five times it has happened so far, it started back on its own. One of the stalls required stopping and restarting the vehicle. Each stall has occurred randomly, twice with cruise control on, once while accelerating, once while braking and once while driving steady without cruise. Two times it stalled on the highway at speeds between 65 to 75 MPH, two of the times it stalled on an on or off ramp to the highway between 35 to 45 MPH, and once in a parking lot at about 15 MPH. Each time it has stalled, the engine shuts off, all electrical equipment shuts off completely (radio, A/C, lights) and the gauges drop to zero like the vehicle is off. All but one of these time, the vehicle then starts right back up within about 1 to 3 seconds, the gauges return to normal, radio turns back on, etc. Each time the vehicle stalled like this, the transmission was fully in gear (no clutch being used at the time). I have taken the vehicle in three times for repair. The first times were supposedly to update the vehicles computer system. The third time, I don't know if anything was done or not, but dealer told me that neither they, nor chrysler can figure out what is wrong with it and will not fix it at this time. Obviously, this is very much a safety concern and hope for this to be resolved soon.
Engine cut out (stalled) on 2007 jeep wrangler while traveling at highway speed. Engine restarted after pulling to the side of the road.
While traveling on a divided highway, my vehicle lost all engine power, battery power and then started back up by itself. This has happened numerous times previously and the dealer has not been able to rectify.
Backing out of parking spaces and turning a corner at very low speeds, caused the esp and bas dash lights to come on and stay on. All the dash lights have come on at speeds of 5 MPH while driving in a parking lot, vehicle acted like it was going to stall, but did not turn off. Took the jeep in for service, dtc's were scanned dtc stored codes were found, c2205 steering angle sensor internal, c121a, steering angle sensor not initialized. All stored dtc codes were cleared and all modules were checked and new software, abs52059883ae was installed. Automatic transmission vibrates between 35-40 MPH, dealer could not recreate vibration or find cause.
My 2007 jeep wrangler 4 door has stalled 5 times since I bought it new on november 5 2006. It has happened at night with the headlights on, during the day with the headlights off, on the interstate, and in my subdivision traveling under 20 MPH. When the vehicle stalls the dash lights up like a christmas tree, the transmission goes into neutral and the engine revs and the steering and power brakes are gone. This episode lasts for 3-5 seconds then the vehicle resumes normal operation. I have taken it to the dealer the 4th time this happened and of course no code was stored to diagnose so they checked the connectors and said that was all they could do. The 5th time the vehicle did this I had it towed to the dealership. I spoke the service associate on the telephone and they said they dad not heard of any other incidents of this nature. I called chrysler and they also had no knowledge. I find that unbelievable because with a simple search on the internet brings up tons of exact complaints. I hope this problem can be fixed. I will not let my family ride in this vehicle until it has.
2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4 door lost all power while driving on interstate. The radio blacked out, lost all power for a couple of seconds, all dash lights came on, then off. It was like transmission slipped into neutral. Very dangerous!!!!!!
Vehicle: 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited x 4x4 . I was driving in 4-wd-low down a sandy hill and I hit a rather large bump/rut and the engine cut off , rendering the power steering and power brakes ineffective. Luckily , there was no other traffic in the area or obstacles in front of me, and I was able to bring the jeep to a stop in 50 yards or so on a steep down-hill section of road. After bring the jeep to a stop it started up again without problem. The jeep dealer said they have not heard of this problem although I have found other's on the web, indicating situations where the engine randomly turned off. This was a major safety issue. If I had been in a situation with any obstacles , trees, cars n front of me, there would have been no way for me to stop or steer out of the way in time.
