2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-DR 4x4: engine stalls while driving

Filed Jan 3, 2017 · Electrical · 105,000 miles · GA

I've had it in the shop three times for the same issue. While driving the engine will stall. It may start back up, or it may take 10 minutes for it to restart. After researching this I believe it to be a faulty tipm. At times when it stalls, the blower motor on the A/C will continue to run even with the key off and out of the ignition. My concern is the loss of power steering and power brakes when it stalls at highway speeds. This is a big safety hazard. There are multiple complaint for this same issue. I have had the tipm reprogramming that is on recall. This didn't help the problem.

2007 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara will stall while driving down the road at any given time/speed. Wipers will start going off without turning them on, followed by engine stalling, leaving me unable to accelerate. Meanwhile, my wheels lock up leaving me unable to steer. Very dangerous. Already had the tipm reprogrammed in 2010, and then again 2 days ago. (october 16th, 2015). On the way home from getting it "fixed", wipers go off again and engine stalls. Paid $825 for nothing. This needs to be dealt with.

My 2007 jeep jku sahara will completely shut down and stall at any given time while I am driving at any speed. The wipers and horn will go off even when in the "off" position, followed by the engine stalling. My wheels will lock up and I cannot give the vehicle gas. I can only brake and slightly turn off to the side of the road. This is extremely dangerous because there is no telling when it will happen. Recall for tipm has already been "reprogrammed" and apparently there are no power modules available. The dealership told me that if a certain code does not pop up, that I will have to replace everything on my own. Well, how am I suppose to do that when there are no power modules available? This problem needs to be fixed asap.

Driving at 35mph dash illuminates random lights, speed odometer fluctuates back and forth 0 to current speed, dash board dings and car slows and spontaneously stalls. Restarts immediately. This first incident occurred ages months back without stalling now is happening frequently . Will not be driving this car again until problem is identified and fixed, too risky.

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.

My wife and I have experienced at least five (5) incidents where the vehicle engine stalls/kills and either restarts itself or has be manually restarted via ignition key. The symptoms mirror exactly those described in the federal safety agency action number pe07027. (driving on highway when vehicle dash lights up as if freshly started, and sometimes needs to be manually restarted, and sometimes has restarted itself) the first incident was experienced by my wife in august of 2009, and the vehicle was subsequently inspected by jeep dealer [xxx] motors of minocqua, wi, who after inspection and road test reported "no trouble found." (per my invoice dated 8/24/09) at that point the vehicle was under warranty with 33,054 miles on the odometer, and I was charged $35.25 for that service item. The most recent incident occurred october 14, 2013, and was witnessed by my son. In that case I was driving approximately 75 MPH on I-70 approaching I-15 in utah when the engine stalled. The vehicle needed to be manually restarted via key. That was the 3rd incident I've experienced in the past 5 months.

My jeep wrangler stalled one day and never would restart due to what the dealer later discovered is the malfunction of the totally integrated power module which apparently is a wide spread issue with jeeps. My vehicle has been in the dealers shop in oak ridge tn for more than a month now and they are unable to get the part from the manufacture due to what they say is a back order which seems to be getting pushed back further and further on the release date as they have stated. This part has been documented as faulty and a recall for a software reprogram dating back to 2007 was issued for multiple malfunctions of this part and I as a consumer think the public should know that jeep is incapable of producing and supplying this part in a timely manner and therefore its likely many are still driving a vehicle that is not only prone to have a stalling condition but in many cases it will be diagnosed as needing a parts replacement for various tipm problems including complete failure. It should be the responsibility of the federal safety agency to investigate daimler chrysler and their poor practices of recognizing faulty conditions and the failure to replace or act on faulty components that impact safety and drivability of their vehicles.

My jeep wrangler has had the death wobble, issues with the safety belts not retracting properly [broke my hand] had stalling and suspension problems, I currently have a chip on the bottom underside of the winshield., when I had the death wobble the dealer told me I had to much weight on the front end from my bumper and winch,[I replaced the stabilizer wobble seems to have went away] they couldn't find a problem with the wobble or seat belts. It was my imagination, what I also had and is documented in the dealer files my accelerator stuck , I was fortunate some one else was driving so I could see his feet and the floor mats nothing was stuck when he stomped on the gas pedal it was just like the cruise control disengaged , my jeep doesn't have cruise control. The brakes scare me at times, feel like their not there from time to time, I tell who ever drives it not to trust the brakes, this is my last new chrysler, my hand still hurts. Maybe our goverment should force a recall like they did to toyota to date my jeep has only 22.000 miles on the odometer . Good luck all
