2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4x4 engine complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 86 of 86, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
I was driving my 2007 jeep wrangler at about 30mph on a busy, 4 lane street when all of a sudden the gas pedal became unresponsive, all of the dashboard indicator lights illuminated and the jeep went dead. I rolled to a stop (while being honked at by the people behind me), shifted to park, waited a couple of minutes and then restarted the jeep. At that point, the vehicle seemed normal again. I have an appointment with my dealer for this issue, which I know has been experienced by many other 2007 jeep wrangler owners.
Once while driving and once while sitting at a stop light my 07 jeep jk wrangler just stalled. It had to be put back into park and restarted. This seems very dangerous!
While driving on the highway at 70 MPH (cruise control enabled) the car started surging as if someone were pumping the gas pedal. It did this for approximately 10 seconds then the engine died. I was in traffic and it took a few seconds to figure out what had happened. I was lucky to have a manual transmission because the second I pressed on the clutch I lost all power steering and power brake function. I was in the middle of traffic and cars started passing me on either side. This could have easily LED to an accident. I will be taking it in to the dealer asap.
While driving in heavy traffic on a busy street, I pulled into a left-hand turn lane and stopped at a red light. I was about six cars back in the line of traffic. While stopped I felt a slight engine shudder and then the engine stalled. All of the lights on the dash lit up. I placed the vehicle in park and started the engine back up. The dash lights went out and I proceeded on my way. My vehicle has just over 3,000 miles on it. It was very concerning to stall in the middle of such heavy traffic in a new vehicle. I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow to be checked.
My 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited 4x4 sahara stalls often while driving .
Three times since I purchased the 2007 jeep wrangler unlimited the engine stalled for no apparent reason. Twice I was climbing a mountain pass at approximately 55 MPH, and once I was at an intersection going approximately 15 MPH. All three times the engine cut off, all lights on the dash came on, and the momentum of the car started the engine after about two seconds. There was no power steering or brakes while the engine was off. Luckily, there was no need to make immediate stops or turns while the engine was off. These incidents happened about 3,000 miles apart.
While driving my 2 month old jeep wrangler 4-door unlimited sahara on the nj turnpike doing 65 MPH the power to the call totally shut off and all engine lights came on. I could not steer or brake. After approx. 5-10 seconds, the power came back on without me doing anything. I took the car to the dealer (mcdonagh in east brunswick, nj) two times and they told me they ran all the tests and that the vehicle is operating as designed. They did not fix the issue nor replace the car. The car is 2 months old with 5,000 miles on it.
Pulling out of parking spot jeep started to shudder, then the engine quit and all interior lights came on. After a few seconds, the engine restarted and resumed operating normally. Ak
Vehicle stalled while driving at highway speed for about 1-2 seconds.
While driving my 2007 jeep x unlimited w/ automatic transmission, build date 12/06, on a long trip engine had been running for 4 hours straight. Approached a stop light at about 35 MPH and engine stalled. All dash lights came on and radio cut out. I had my ipod hooked up to the auxiliary jack. Had over 1/4 tank of gas.
On two occasions the engine in the jeep jk, 4x4 sahara has cut off momentarily and within a couple of seconds cut back on. The first time was more noticeable than the second time. I have less than 4000 miles on the jeep. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer and nothing was found. This could potentially cause a serious accident. Reading message boards, I have seen that others have reported this as well.
When traveling on the highway at 70 MPH the jeep will turn off for a few seconds ,and all the lights on the dashboard will come on, and then the jeep started back up like nothing ever happened. I took the vehicle to the dealer, and of course they couldn't recreate the problem , and no codes were found so they sent me on my way. It did this at 1680 miles ,and it was very unsafe, especially at highway speeds, someone could rear end the vehicle ,or I could lose control. The vehicle is a 2007, jeep, wrangler unlimited 4 door sahara edition.
While driving, the engine cut out and all dash lights came on as if the key was turned off and then back on as to start the motor all power was lost and the whole jeep bucked. After a short outage, electrical power will be restored and the engine will restart. Was very scared because when it happened you have no control.
While driving, the engine will cut out and all electrical power will be lost. After a short outage, electrical power will be restored and the engine will restart. Tsb 18-036-06 (computer reflash) was performed after the first occurrence however it did not prevent additional failures. Second failure occurred at 65 MPH and resulted in a near accident with a tractor trailer. Vehicle was checked by dealer following most recent failure and no cause could be found.
