2007 Jeep Wrangler Engine Problems

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER . THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS SMOG

LOSS OF ENGINE OIL PRESSURE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. A POROUS TIMING COVER CAUSED THE BEARINGS TO WEAR OUT REQUIRING AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT AT ONLY 100,000 MILES. JEEP/CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF ITS POROUS TIMING COVER, AND PUBLISHED TSB 09-008-07. THE COMPANY SHOULD PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF THIS ENGINE. *TR

MY O2 SENSORS (ALL 4) AND MY ECU CONTINUED TO COME UP FAULTY. I TOOK MY JEEP TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE REPAIR MAN TOLD MY THAT MY LEFT AND RIGHT MANIFOLDS WERE CRACKED AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. ALSO HAD A BOLT THAT HAD BROKEN OFF ONE OF THE MANIFOLDS.

WHILE COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED MY ENGINE MAKE A 'CLICKING' NOISE, DIDN'T SOUD TOO SERIOUS, BUT CHECKED OIL LEVEL AND SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN BARELY ANY OIL IN IT. IT WAS AROUND SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE DATE, HOWEVER TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND HE THOUGHT AND ASSUMED WAS THE IDLER PULLEY AND CHANGED IT. DROVE IT SAME NIGHT AND WAS STILL MAKING SAME NOISE. TOOK IT BACK AND HE JUST SPOKE WITH A 'CHRYSLER SERVICE PERSONNEL' AND STATED "CHRYSLER HAD A BAD ENGINE CASTING FOR MOLDING THE ENGINES AND AT HIGH TEMPERATURES THE ENGINE ITSELF WILL WARP." SO NOT SURE IF THIS IS TRUE, AND I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO TAKE TO A DEALERSHIP AND CONFIRM.

JEEP VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE L. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. FROM DOING RESEARCH ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH PEOPLE WHO OWN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION JEEP MODEL. THIS CAN BE EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS WHEN GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS OR CHANGING LANES AS THE JEEP WILL POP OUT IF GEAR AND NO LONGER ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE DAY ONE OF ME PURCHASING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, ANOTHER DRIVER ON THE ROAD MADE THE CONTACT AWARE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FLAMES WERE LOCATED NEAR THE ENGINE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A IMPOUND LOT AND DEEMED DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED INDEPENDENTLY. ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 173,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND BEGAN TO COME FROM MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AS I SLOWED TO EXIT (AT THE NEXT INTERCHANGE) THE 3.8L V6 ENGINE HAD A BEARING SEIZE AND THREW A ROD OUT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE BLOCK. FROM THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT FOR CHRYSLER. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS OF THIS ENGINE FAILING EVEN WITH IMPECCABLE MAINTENANCE. I RECEIVED NO INDICATIONS OR WARNINGS PRIOR TO THE ENGINE BLOWING. JUST AS I SLOWED DOWN THE OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED BUT AT THAT POINT IT WAS TOO LATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT LOCATED A FAILURE CODE AT THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE WAS OUT OF OIL AND CONTAINED METAL FRAGMENTS, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. NO LEAKS WERE FOUND TO SUPPORT WHY THE ENGINE WAS OUT OF OIL. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

DRIVING JEEP WRANGLER AND SUDDENLY ENTIRE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. CAR IS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH MY VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE STEERING WHEEL, ENGINE, ENTIRE JEEP AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO CONTROL OR STEER THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES SINCE JUNE 2014. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AND IS TERRIFYING! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,171.

WHILE DRIVING WESTBOUND ON THE HIGHWAY TO PARUMPH NV THE ENGINE STALLED OUT AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. I WAS LUCKY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC GOING MY DIRECTION AND THE HIGHWAY WAY FAIRLY STRAIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROLL THE VEHICLE WELL ENOUGH TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER COULD HAVE HAD TRAGIC RESULTS UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. I'M GETTING RID OF THIS DEATH TRAP. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE ON A TRIP TO SEARCHLIGHT A YEAR AGO, ENGINE STALL / ROUGHLY THE SAME SPEED. THE DEALERSHIP THAT REPAIRED IT IN HENDERSON SAID IT WAS A FAULTY MAF SENSOR. *TR

PURCHASED 2007 WRANGLER SAHARA NEW. MAINTAINED VEHICLE AS SUGGESTED BY MANUFACTURER. NOTICED EARLY ON THE 3.8 L V6 BURNED OIL. WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL, SO I ADDED A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. AT 51,000 MILES NOTICED A LOUD KNOCK. IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN. I HAD CHANGED THE OIL AT 50,000 MILES BUT SOMEHOW LOST ALL OF THE OIL IN 1,000 MILES. NEVER HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OIL WARNING LIGHT, NO OIL SHOWING ON THE GROUND. DEALER WANTED $7,000 TO INSTALL REMANUFACTURED LONG BLOCK. WOULD NOT CALL CHRYSLER ON MY BEHALF EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD BEEN THE ONE SERVICING THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE OUT OF WARRANTY. THREE DIFFERENT CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO SPEAK WITH ANYONE ABOVE THEM AS THE DECISION (MADE IN ONE HOUR) WAS FINAL. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME AN ADDRESS OR FAX NUMBER SO THAT I COULD SUBMIT MY SERVICE RECORDS TO SHOW THAT I HAD MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE. IN FACT, THEY INDICATED THAT NOT ONLY WAS A QUART OF OIL EVERY 700-1,000 MILES WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL, THAT IS WAS ALSO NORMAL TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. A QUICK REVIEW ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THOUSANDS WITH THIS PROBLEM. 650 SIGNATURES ARE ON ONE PETITION ALONE THAT SHOW THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON PAVED, CITY BOULEVARD, I HEARD A VERY SHORT, ALMOST INAUDIBLE "BEEP" WARNING, BUT SAW NO WARNING LIGHTS. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, I HEARD THE SAME VERY SHORT "BEEP", AGAIN, NO WARNING LIGHT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, A "BEEP" ACCOMPANIED BY THE CHECK OIL LIGHT. I STOPPED CHECKED OIL. I WAS LOW. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HAD LOW OIL ON THIS VEHICAL, BOUGHT NEW. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK MORE OF DRIVING THE CHECK OIL LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON AND I HEARD A SUDDEN LOUD KNOCKING FROM THE ENGINE. A DIAGNOSTIC INDICATES THE ENGINE IS "SEIZED" AND NEEDS REPLACING. AT LESS THAN 5700 MILES OF EASY DRIVING, I FIND THIS INCREDULOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE BECAME STUCK IN A MUDDY SURFACE. IN ADDITION, GREY SMOKE BEGAN BILLOWING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SMOKE WAS SEEN, THE VEHICLE BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE WRIST, FEET, ELBOW AND LOWER BACK. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,500. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA. THE DEALERSHIP SUPPOSEDLY DID AN OIL CHANGE AND AFTER 3 MONTHS AND ABOUT 1,800 MILES OF DRIVING MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS LOW. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP(VALVOLINE QUICK LUBE) TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY MENTIONED THE OIL PLUG WAS STRIPPED AND THAT THERE WAS SILICONE CAULK TO HELP SEAL THE OIL PLUG. AT THIS POINT I HAD THEM REPLACE THE OIL PLUG AND WAS CONTENT WITH THE SERVICE. AFTER DRIVING 500-600 MILES AFTER THE OIL CHANGE I CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS LOW AS IF IT WAS DISAPPEARING. NO VISIBLE LEAKS IN MY GARAGE AND NONE IN MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK. AT THIS POINT I HAD TO ADD 2 QUARTS OF OIL TO GET TO READ ON THE DIP STICK. THIS WENT ON UNTIL MY NEXT OIL CHANGE AND I HAD VALVOLINE LOOK FOR ANY VISUAL LEAKS. THEY MENTIONED NOTHING THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING CONSUMED. FINALLY, IN MARCH OF 2013, TOOK MY JEEP TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM START AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. AFTER THE FIRST 500 MILES THEY STATED THERE WAS LOSS OF OIL AND MADE THERE MARKS AND RESEALED EVERYTHING FOR THE NEXT 500 MILES. I TOOK IT BACK IN AT THE NEXT 500 MILE MARK, NOW MIND YOU EVERYTHING IS SEALED SO THEY KNOW NOTHING WAS TAMPERED WITH, PERFORMANCE CHRYSLER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT OIL LOSS AND THEY STATED THE RINGS ON THE PISTONS ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3,300. MY COMPLAINT IS, MY JEEP AT THIS POINT HAS 47000 MILES ON IT AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THE RINGS ARE BAD. I'VE HAD VEHICLES THAT LASTED 120,000+ AND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE RINGS ON THE PISTONS. I HAVE TALKED TO A COUPLE OF MECHANICS AND SAID THERE SHOULD BE NO WAY THE RINGS SHOULD HAVE GONE BAD THAT FAST. *TR

I BOUGHT THE JEEP NEW IN FEBRUARY/MARCH OF 2007. IN DECEMBER 2009, AT APPROXIMATELY 45K MILES, I HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE BOTTOM END OF THE ENGINE. TOOK THE JEEP TO MY REGULAR OIL CHANGE CENTER AND THEY CONFIRMED THE KNOCKING SOUND. I THEN TOOK THE JEEP TO LOCAL DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS SPUN BEARINGS AND THERE WAS METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL PAN. THEY PUT IN A NEW MOTOR (CHRYSLER OFFERED SOME ASSISTANCE AFTER MUCH COMPLAINING AND ARGUING ON MY SIDE, BUT IT STILL COST ME $1,500 AS IT AS OUT OF WARRANTY). NOW, IN AUGUST 2012, AT A TOTAL OF 90K MILES (APPROXIMATELY 45K ON THE NEW MOTOR), THE BEARINGS ARE SPUN AGAIN. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD MOTOR IN THIS JEEP. I HAVE THE RECEIPTS FROM MY REGULAR OIL CHANGE CENTER SHOWING THAT I HAVE REGULARLY CHANGED THE OIL. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALER SAYS THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER PPL HAVING THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER, INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF PPL WITH 2007 JEEP WRANGLERS THAT ARE HAVING SPUN BEARINGS AT AROUND 45K MILES. JEEP SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE MOTORS AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER AS THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND ENTERING INTO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SEE AND CRASHED INTO A CULVERT. THE POLICE REPORTED TO THE SCENE AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE ARMS AND LEGS. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THAT AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD COME TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SUDDENLY STALLED WARNING. THE FAILURE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED AND THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 53,000.

AFTER DRIVING MY 07 WRANGLER HOME FROM WORK, APPROXIMATELY 35 MINUTES, I PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY AND THE UNDER PART OF MY JEEP CAUGHT ON FIRE AND THEN THE JEEP EXPLODED, CATCHING MY HOUSE ON FIRE. MY DRIVEWAY IS ON AN DOWNWARD INCLINE. *TR

MY ISSUE IS THE LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL USED, 1 QT USED PER 2500 MILES. THIS IS WHAT THE DEALERSHIP AND JEEP TOLD ME. NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION: BELOW ARE INDUSTRY STANDARDS FOR NORMAL ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION: MILEAGE BELOW 50,000: NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION IS ONE QUART FOR EACH 1,000 MILES DRIVEN. MILEAGE ABOVE 50,000: NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION IS ONE QUART FOR EACH 750 MILES DRIVEN. SO, AS LONG AS A JEEP WITH 50000 OR MORE MILES ON IT DOES NOT USE MORE THAN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 750 MILES THEY DO NOT CARE, AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT WHY NEW JEEPS TAKE 6 QT'S SINCE THEY USE SO MUCH OIL. I EVEN HAVE A WARRANTY AND THEY STILL WILL NOT FIX IT. THERE ARE NO OIL LEAKS AND I HAVE HAD 2 OIL CONSUMPTION TEST RAN ON THE VEHICLE BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I AM LUCKY IT DOES NOT USE A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES, SINCE IT MAY GET LOW ENOUGH TO BURN THE ENGINE UP IN UNDER 2500 MILES. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE AND CONSUMED OIL PREMATURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE POLLUTION CONTROL VALVE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE HEAD GASKET FAILED AND THE SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 02/14/12*LJ UPDATED 02/17/12

AS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE CLICKING NOISE, CALLED LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT INTO SHOP NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR OIL LIGHTS ON, SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT OIL WAS 5 QUARTS LOW IN A 6 QUART ENGINE AND THE ENGINE BEARINGS WERE STRIPPED NEED NEW ENGINE AND LIFE TIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER ENGINE. WHEN I ASK SERVICE PERSON WHY THIS HAPPEN HE COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT GIVE STRAIGHT ANSWER SIMPLE SAID " AFTERMARKET OIL FILTER, AND I FOUND NO LEAKS" THEN ASKED IF IT WAS THE OIL FILTER HE SAID " NO I'M NOT TELLING YOU IT WAS THE OIL FILTER!" THEN I SAID "IF IT IS NOT THE OIL FILTER NOR YOU FOUND NO LEAKS WHERE DID THE OTHER 5 QUARTS OF OIL DISAPPEAR TO. IT MUST BE A DEFECTED ENGINE. I JUST CHANGE THE OIL 2000 MILES AGO!" IN ALL SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL NOT TELL ME WHY THE ENGINE FAILED OR HOW IT HAPPEN NEITHER WILL CHRYSLER. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BURN OIL EXCESSIVELY. A LOCAL MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE PISTONS AND RINGS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER TOOK A COMPLAINT BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,000. UPDATED 01/12/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED IT WOULD COST $ 6200 TO REPLACE THE PART. UPDATED 01/12/12

KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVEN. IT WOULD COME AND GO, MECHANIC CHECKED FOR THE OBVIOUS LOSS PARTS (MUFFLER, SHOCKS, ETC...). THE NEXT DAY WHEN THE NOISE REAPPEARED, THE MECHANIC HAS DRIVEN LESS THAN A QUARTER MILE WHEN THE ENGINE SEIZED. MECHANIC DROPPED THE OIL PAN AND FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL AND THE BEARING HAD SPUN. CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE MECHANICS WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH HAVE RELATED THAT THE NEW 07 3.0 LITER ENGINE WAS FOUND TO HAVE ISSUES THAT LEAD TO THIS SPUN BEARING. REPAIRS AND PARTS ARE WELL OVER $8000. *TR

MY VEHICLE SPILLS FUEL OUT OF THE FILLER AREA EVERY TIME I FILL UP. THE FUEL GETS ON ME, THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE MATTER, AND THEY ADVISE ME BECAUSE I AM OUTSIDE THE TIME FRAME FOR THEIR TSB, ANY REPAIRS WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID BY ME. AFTER THOROUGHLY RESEARCHING THE MATTER, IT SEEMS THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD CONCERN. CHRYSLER HAS ADDRESSED THE ISSUE FOR SOME, BUT NOT OTHERS BECAUSE "WE'RE OUTSIDE THE WINDOW". PLEASE SEE YOUR CODE #PE10032. ALSO, MY VEHICLE CONSUMES OR BURNS OIL AT THE RATE OF ONE QUART PER 1000 MILES. AGAIN, RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS ANOTHER WIDE SPREAD MATTER ATTRIBUTED TO FAULTY MOTOR CONSTRUCTION OF SOME 2007/2008 ENGINES. OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE REPAIR DONE UNDER WARRANTY FOUND THAT ON THREE PISTONS, RING GAPS WHERE IN A LINE, THE OTHER THREE WHERE CLOSE, ALL SIX OIL EXPANDER RINGS AND PISTON RODS WHERE INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN. CHRYSLER WILL ADDRESS THE MATTER ONLY IF YOU ARE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE COST SHOULD BE BARED BY THE CONSUMER WHEN BOTH MATTERS ARE SO COMMON AND WIDE SPREAD AS TO INDICATE DESIGN FLAWS IN THE PRODUCT. WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR THEIR INABILITY TO BUILD A COMPONENT CORRECTLY?

2007 JEEP WRANGLER. CONSUMER STATES THAT VEHICLE MADE A RATTLING NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING. SHE THOUGHT THAT HER VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE TRANSMISSION RECALL. *KB THE DEALER RECOMMENDED AN ENGINE BREAKDOWN AND INSPECTION. AFTER THE INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT BASED ON THE INSPECTION REPORT, THE REPAIR OF THE ENGINE WAS DENIED. THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS ACCUSED OF NEGLIGENCE BY MEANS OF IMPROPER/INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION WHICH RESULTED IN ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO LACK OF OIL, DESPITE PROVIDING SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE OF PROPER VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. *JB

2007 JEEP WRANGLER. LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN ISRAEL ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT REQUESTING ASSISTANCE IN RECOVERING FINANCIAL DAMAGES SHE INCURRED WHEN THE JEEP DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY (FULL DOCUMENT NOT IMAGED) *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HER SON DROVE THROUGH SOME WATER ON A LOCAL ROAD, NOT AWARE THAT ANY PROBLEMS OCCURRED. WHEN HE ARRIVED HOME, A FRIENDS TRUCK WOULD NOT START, SO THE CONSUMERS SON GAVE THE FRIENDS VEHICLE A JUMP, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE JUMP, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED, THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $7,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING THE RESULTS. THE CONTACT DID NOT INFORM THE MANUFACTURER NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 32,000.

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DOOR SAHARA UNLIMITED HAS EXPERIENCED LOWER BLOCK DEFECT WITH SYMPTOMS OF LARGE KNOCKING NOISES. THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED REGULARLY AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LOW OIL LIGHT INDICATOR, AT 75K MILES, THE ENGINE IS USELESS. APPARENTLY, JEEP DEALERS ARE REPAIRING SEVERAL OF THESE DEFECTS ALTHOUGH I SEE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS AT THIS SITE. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER SUDDENLY EXPLODED AND CAUGHT ON FIRE.*CW

THE CHRYSLER GROUP LLC AND MIDWAY JEEP CHRYSLER LOCATED AT 777 CAMINO DEL RIO SOUTH IN SAN DIEGO, CA ARE COLLUDING THE DENY CONSUMER RIGHTS AFFORDED ME UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL LAW, BREACH OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND VIOLATION OF STATE AND FEDERAL CLEAN VEHICLE EMISSION REGULATIONS. I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X ON APRIL 13TH, 2007. SINCE THEN, I HAVE TO ADD 6 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE VEHICLES WARRANTY. AFTER CURSORY EXAMINATION THAT INCLUDED VISUALLY CHECKING THE DIP STICK, VISUALLY CHECKING THE SPARK PLUGS, PVC, AND CVC VALVES, I WAS TOLD THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR MIDWAY JEEP CHRYSLER STATED THAT USING 6 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES IS PERFECTLY NORMAL AND MIDWAY JEEP NOR CHRYSLER WILL NOT PERFORM ANY OTHER INVESTIGATIVE DIAGNOSTICS, NOR MAKE ANY REPAIRS TO VEHICLE. THEY APPEAR TO BE COLLUDING TO 'RUN OUT THE CLOCK' FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRES ON APRIL 12TH, 2010. AFTER CONSULTING AUTOMOTIVE EXPERTS AND TECHNICIANS, WHICH I HIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE, HAVE BEEN UNANIMOUS IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS THAT THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS SERIOUS INTERNAL MECHANICAL ISSUES AND THE ENGINE WILL FAIL. FURTHER MORE, THE AMOUNT OF OIL BEING CONSUMED IS DESTROYING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, OXYGEN SENSORS AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THIS WILL RENDER THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW AND REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL REPAIRS AT GREAT COST. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE ENGINE MANIFOLD. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT UNCOMMON AND WAS DUE TO THE VEHICLE OPERATING AT A HIGH TEMPERATURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29350 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29350.

IN THE NOVEMBER 2010 ISSUE OF CONSUMER REPORTS, PAGE 15, THEY IS AN ARTICLE ABOUT A RECALL ON '07-'08 JEEP WRANGLERS " - FAULTY TRANSMISSION FLUID-TEMPERATURE WARNING SYSTEM NOT WORKING; COULD CAUSE FIRE WHEN BOIL OVER COOURS." I CALLED CHRYSLER AT 1-800-653-1403 AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY KNEW OF NO RECALL OF THIS NATURE AND THAT IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN, THEN I SHOULD CALL THEM. I EXPLAINED THAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED, IT WOULD BE TOO LATE, ACCORDING TO THIS ARTICLE, MY CAR WOULD BE ON FIRE. THEY STILL SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, THERE WAS NO RECALL. ALSO, THE 3 DIGET PREFIX NUMBER GIVEN IN CONSUMER REPORT ISSUE WAS TRANSPOSED, IT IS 853 NOT 835.

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER HAS HAD ENGINE STALL TWO TIMES NOW AT 50-60 MPH. CAUSING LIGHT FAILURE, ENGINE FAILURE, NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES, AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS, THEY SAID CALL A TOW TRUCK AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THEM. THIS STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 26,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 30,000. BOTH TIMES NOTHING WAS FOUND AND THE COMPUTER PROGRAMS WERE CURRENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT LOCATE ANY DIAGNOSTIC ERROR CODES THEREFORE NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 44000. UPDATED 11/04/09. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER PERFORMED THE REPAIR PER THE RECALL, HOWEVER THE REMEDY ONLY LASTED 18 MONTHS AND THEN THE STALLING RESUMED AND CONTINUED TO BE A CONSTANT PROBLEM. UPDATED 11/05/09.*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 55-60 MPH, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER FIVE SECONDS, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURES RECURRED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED TWICE, BUT THERE WERE NO RESOLUTIONS. THE VEHICLE IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING TOWED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

VEHICLE CONTINUES TO LOSE POWER WHILE IN MOTION. AS A RESULT THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER BREAKING AS WELL AS STEERING. CHRYSLER HAS INVESTIGATED THE PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES INCLUDING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ONE LAST FIX UNDER THE LEMON LAW STATUTE IN FLORIDA. YET THE CONDITION PERSISTS. CHRYSLER HAS DETERMINED THAT THEY WILL ONLY AGREE TO SETTLE THE OUTSTANDING ISSUE WITH THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION IF THEY ARE PROVIDED WITH YET ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. CHRYSLER OF AUBURN HILLS HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS UNSAFE CONDITION AND HAS RESPONDED WITH CUSTOMER RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVE RICHARD WILCOX 407-826-7035 WHO ADVISED OF THE ADDITIONAL INSPECTION REQUIRED BEFORE THEY WILL CONSIDER SETTLING THIS MATTER. IT DOES NOT SEEM THAT CHRYSLER IS AT ALL CONCERNED WITH THE OBVIOUS POTENTIAL FOR BODILY HARM THAT MAY OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THE INCIDENTS OF POWER LOSS AND THE RESULTANT CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING POORLY SINCE THE 3RD DAY OF PURCHASE (03/07) AND AT SAFE HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ENGINE JUST STALLS..... IT HAPPENS VERY OFTEN, ABOUT 3 TIMES A MONTH......THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT IS OPERATING WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS AND THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE AT THIS TIME.....HUUMMMM. *TR

THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO M FAILURE ARE QUITE SIMPLE. I TAKE THE SAME ROUTE TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY, AND AT THE POINT WHERE THE FAILURE HAPPENED I ALWAYS HAVE MY CRUISE SET AT BETWEEN 55 - 60 MPH. IT WAS A REGULAR DAY, NO PRECIPITATION AND I WAS CRUISING IN SIXTH GEAR. WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ALL THE SUDDEN I NOTICED MY STEREO AND HEAD LIGHTS TURNED OFF, I LOOKED DOWN AND ALL OF MY DASH LIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANELS HAD TURNED OFF. SITTING IN MY SEAT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH IT LOOKED AS IF MY CAR WAS TURNED OFF. IT LASTED LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO REALIZE I HAD A POTENTIALLY HUGE PROBLEM, AND TO LOOK ALL AROUND ME QUICKLY FOR NEARBY VEHICLES JUST IN CASE SOMETHING WAS ABOUT TO GO TERRIBLY WRONG. IT WAS PROBABLY ON 4 - 6 SECONDS IN ALL ACTUALITY, BUT IT FELT LIKE LONGER. I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD TRIED TO STEER OR BRAKE. WOULD IT HAVE WORKED? ALSO, MY JEEP IS STILL 100% STOCK, FACTORY TIRES AND ALL. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH NOT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID ONE IF I HAD TO BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN RESPONSIVE DURING THE "BLACK OUT." THIS HAPPENED TWO DAYS AGO, AND IT IS NOW MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. I PLAN ON CONTACTING THE DEALER ON TUESDAY TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE, BUT FROM MY RESEARCH ONLINE, MY HOPES ARE NOT HIGH. IT SEEMS THERE ARE PLENTY OF RELATED INCIDENTS OUT THERE, AND NOBODY SEEMS TO BE GETTING ANY REAL HELP FROM THEIR DEALERSHIPS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY STALL AND LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT NEVER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. AFTER THE MOST RECENT FAILURE, SHE WAS UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART THE ENGINE UNTIL 30 MINUTES LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE POWER MODULE. THE FAILURE RECURRED LESS THAN A WEEK LATER WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. ONCE MORE, THE VEHICLE TOOK 30 MINUTES TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER BEING REPAIRED. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO DEVELOP A NEW REPAIR FOR THIS FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,860.

DASH LIGHTS FLASH ON, MOMENTARY LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR REPAIR PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP 07 WRANGLER THE ENGINE STALLED AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHILE DRIVING. THE RADIO WENT DEAD AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY STIFF FOR 2 SECONDS. THE CAR THEN RESTARTED BY ITSELF WHILE STILL MOVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE DASHBOARD LIT UP JUST AS IT DOES WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON AND THE SEAT BELT CHIME SOUNDED 5 TIMES JUST LIKE IT DOES UPON STARTUP. WITHIN 15 MINUTES THE WHOLE PROCESS OCCURRED A SECOND TIME WITH THE SAME RESULT. THE CAR BRIEFLY STALLED THEN RESTARTED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN IN TOUCH WITH A DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR STALLING ENGINES BUT APPARENTLY THEY WERE WRONG BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED TO ME TWO TIMES ON ONE TRIP. I AM GOING TO STOP BY A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND ASK THEM TO PERFORM THE TIPM RESET FOR ME BUT WANT TO ALERT OTHERS THAT THEIR VEHICLE MAY BE AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. *TR

DRIVING MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER ABOUT 55 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE DASH LIGHTS LIT UP, 5 SECONDS LATER IT RESTARTED AND THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF AS NORMAL. CALLED THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPT. AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE BUT WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE "LIKE FINDING A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK" . *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE STALLING. CONSUMER STATES THAT IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IT MUST BE IN NEUTRAL BEFORE TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH. CONSUMER STATES SHE WOULD LIKE THE VEHICLE REPLACED. *KB THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FAILED WITHIN WEEKS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A CONSTANT RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE PILLAR AREA, THE DRIVERS DOOR DID NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. THE TECHNICIAN USED A MALLET OR HAMMER TO ALIGN THE DOOR STRIKER. THE CONSUMER HAD TO SLAM THE DOOR IN ORDER FOR IT TO CLOSE PROPERLY, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO CERTAINTY THE DOOR WAS REALLY CLOSED. THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE STRIKER ON THE DOOR COULD COLLAPSE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION CAUSING THE DOOR TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE ALSO MADE A RATTLING NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING. *JB

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER .I HAVE EXPERIENCED A STALLING PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE 5 TIME IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. 4 OF THE 5 TIME I WAS TRAVELING AT NIGHT AT SPEEDS OF 50 TO 65 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE. THE REASON I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT IS I ALMOST REAR ENDED A TRACTOR TRAILER RUNNING AT A SLOWER SPEED AFTER THE STALL TURNED OF THE LIGHT AND GAVE ME NO BRAKE POWER. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ALMOST COSTING ME MY LIFE. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A RECALL NOTICE DONE ON 03/21/08. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE COMING QUITE COMMON ON THESE JEEPS, I HOPE A DEATH DOES NOT HAPPEN BEFORE THEY FIX THE DEFECT. *TR

CAR LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING. ALL DASH LIGHTS GO OFF AND THEN COME BACK ON QUICKLY. CHRYSLER DID RECALL JEEP WRANGLERS FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY TOLD ME MINE WAS NOT ONE THAT WAS RECALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE YEAR THAT I HAVE OWNED THE JEEP, MOST RECENTLY MARCH 11, DRIVING AT 35MPH. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER "REBOOTS" ITSELF WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL ITEMS FAIL AND STAY OFF FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. THEN EVERYTHING COMES BACK ON AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED ON APRIL 5, 2007, AND THE SECOND FAILURE OCCURRED ON MAY 9, 2007. THE VEHICLE REBOOTED ITSELF FIVE TIMES WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON MARCH 5, 2008. *TR

MY MODEL YEAR 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH THE 3.8L V6 ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO LOSE ENGINE POWER WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THIS OCCURS, MOMENTARY LOSS OF ENGINE POWER ON ACCELERATION OR AT CRUISING SPEED AND ALL INTERIOR WARNING LIGHTS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHT UP ALL AT ONCE. THE RADIO WHETHER PLAYING A CD OR JUST THE RADIO FEATURE CUTS OUT AT THE SAME TIME THIS HAPPENS. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHETHER CRUISING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. TONIGHT IT HAPPENED WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I ACCELERATED ON THE LIGHT CHANGING TO GREEN, THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS BRIEFLY CAME ON AND THE RADIO STOPPED. THE ENGINE NEVER STALLED, BUT LOST ALL POWER AND WITHIN A FEW SECONDS ALL WORKED AGAIN. I NEARLY WAS HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN THEY STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD THROUGH THE LIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN NOW THAT I'VE ALMOST BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS CONDITION. I'LL BE CONTACTING BOTH MY JEEP DEALER IN THE MORNING AND DAIMLER-CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS. *TR

ON FEB 5TH, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH AND MY CAR DIED - DASH LIGHTS WENT ON, CAR JERKED TO A VIOLENT SLOW DOWN AND I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A SEMI ON MY LEFT, THE CAR PULLED TO THE LEFT. ALL RESUMED TO NORMAL AFTER ABOUT 4 SECONDS. I HAVE FILED PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, CONF NBR 10188682. THIS IS THE 4TH INCIDENT BUT WHAT IS MOST SHOCKING IS THAT THE FIRST 2 TIMES I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP REPAID SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ERROR AND THAT THEY AND CHRYSLER CORP DIDN'T HAVE RECORD OF ANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM. ON THE 2ND VISIT, I ADVISED THE SERVICE PERSON THAT HE SHOULD LOOK AT THIS WEB SITE IF HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. ON THE 3RD INCIDENT, WHEN I GOT HOME, THERE WAS A RECALL "SAFETY RECALL G25-PROGRAM TIPM-ENGINE STALLING- SO I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER, AGAIN, ADVISED THAT CAR STALLED AGAIN AND THAT I ALSO RECEIVED RECALL AND SCHEDULED THE SERVICE - AUG 2007. AFTER THIS VISIT I FELT MORE SECURE TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE AT LEAST CHRYSLER HAD ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. THE ON FEB 5TH 2008 AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CONTINUED TO WORK AND AT THE END OF THE DAY WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE CAR IT WOULDN'T START, ALL LIGHTS/RADIO ETC CAME ON BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN OVER. I HAD IT TOWED TO JEEP. I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE PERSON, AFTER THE CAR WAS INSPECTED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE - SAME ITEM THAT CAUSED PREVIOUS PROBLEMS, HAD TO BE REPLACED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW, SO THAT I WOULD HAVE A DEPENDABLE AND SAFE VEHICLE - NEITHER OF WHICH IT IS! I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER WHAT CHRYSLER COULD DO FOR ME. HE SAID THAT FROM THE NOTES IT LOOKED LIKE I ONLY HAD ONE OCCURRENCE WITH THIS ISSUE AND THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST HE HEARD OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH JEEP - WOW - EITHER HE OUT RIGHT LIED TO ME OR HE IS AN UNINFORMED MANAGER. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM NOT CONFIDENT THAT THIS ISSUE WONT OCCUR AGAIN! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 65 MPH AND THE CAR STALLED. ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIT UP AND THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL AND ABOUT 4 SECONDS LATER THE CAR REGAINED ITS POWER. THIS HAPPENED 2/1/08 WITH 11,500 MILES. THIS ALSO OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND MAY 2007 WITH AROUND 2,500 MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING AND LOST COMPLETE POWER. THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY RESTARTED. THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE FIVE TIMES, BUT INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BRAKES. THE THROTTLE CONTROL AND ESP WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE AND RESTARTED. THE WEATHER WAS VERY WINDY. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 26,000. UPDATED 10/18/07 *TR

IT IS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL, THERE IS A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. WHEN IN THE RPM RANGE OF 1500 TO 2000 RPMS IT MAKES THIS NOISE. IT IS STARTING TO BECOME VERY ANNOYING BECAUSE THE MORE I DRIVE THE LOUDER IT GETS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE THROW OUT BEARING PER THE TSB THAT WAS GIVEN. THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE 30 DAYS TO GET A FIELD ENGINEER OUT TO LOOK AT MY PROBLEM TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR IT. SO I AM STILL WAITING AND NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THE DEALERSHIPS OUTCOME. *JB

WHILE NEGOTIATING A RIGHT HAND CURVE ON A LOCAL TOWN ROAD IN MY 07 JEEP WRANGLER X, 2-DR, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE ENGINE STALLED FOR APPROX. 2 SECONDS AND THEN RESTARTED ITSELF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING (I ASSUME) AS STEERING/CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH WITH NO PASSENGERS. THIS VEHICLE HAS A BUILD DATE OF 04/17/07 AND WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM A JEEP DEALER ON 07/02/07. THE VEHICLE HAD 4166 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. AFTER CHECKING DAIMLERCHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL G25, REPROGRAM TIPM - ENGINE STALLING DATED JULY 2007, I SEE THAT ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE EXACT SYMPTOMS LISTED, THE BUILD DATE OF MY VEHICLE FALLS OUTSIDE THE DATE LISTED IN THE RECALL (01-22-07). OBVIOUSLY THIS NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. THIS CAN ALSO BE VERIFIED VIA THE FOLLOWING INTERNET FORUM THREAD: "HTTP://WWW.JK-FORUM.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=2366" THIS FORUM INCLUDES QUITE A FEW OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE INCLUDING MANY THAT; 1) HAVE HAD THE RECALL PROCEDURE PERFORMED ALREADY; 2) HAVE A VEHICLE OUTSIDE OF THE SPECIFIED BUILD DATE; OR 3) ACTUALLY OWN A 2008 MODEL YEAR JEEP WRANGLER. IT SEEMS THE RECALL PROCEDURE OR "FIX" DOES NOT ACTUALLY CORRECT THIS ISSUE AND THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE LATER BUILD DATES. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING IN A SLOWER, LOW TRAFFIC, LESS HAZARDOUS SITUATION DURING MY FIRST INCIDENT BUT NOW I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THIS OCCURS AGAIN DURING FASTER, HIGHWAY USE OR IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WITH FAMILY MEMBERS/PASSENGERS THE OUTCOME COULD BE DISASTROUS. MY VEHICLE IS NEVER ABUSED AND WELL MAINTAINED. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF FURTHER DETAILS ARE REQUIRED. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, AS I WAS ASCENDING A TURN ON A STEEP GRADE, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED FROM 4TH TO 2ND GEAR ABRUPTLY. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE ESP LIGHT ON THE DASH LIT UP AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG. I RE-STARTED THE ENGINE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHEN I RETURNED HOME FROM THE TRIP AND THEY CHECKED THE ECU AND NO WARNINGS CAME UP. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 65-75 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF. THE DEALER HAS NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

AT 65 MPH ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AS IF JEEP HAD LOST POWER AND CAME BACK ON. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR ANY INCIDENCES LIKE THIS AND FOUND A NEWS STORY THAT SAID CHRYSLER WAS BEING INVESTIGATED AND WAS TO RECALL 80,000 JEEPS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY DENIED WE HAVE A PROBLEM AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO EVEN LOOK AT MY JEEP BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THE VIN NUMBER DIDN'T MATCH THE RECALL. MEANWHILE I AM DRIVING A JEEP UNSURE IF IT WILL STALL OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

JEEP WRANGLER LOSES POWER. EVERYTHING TURNS OFF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TOOK IN TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE DESCRIBING SAME PROBLEM. MEAN WHILE MY JEEP KEEPS SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY FIXED IT. BUT THEY ONLY MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. NOW IT DOES SAME MORE OFTEN SO TOOK IT BACK. NOW THEY SAY THEY CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THAT AS FAR AS THEY ARE CONCERNED THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND THEY CLAIM THEY ALREADY FIXED THE RECALL PROBLEM . I TOLD THEM THEY DID NOT. THEN THEY SUGGESTED THAT I LET ONE OF THEIR HOURLY MECHANIC'S DRIVE IT HOME WITH HIM TO DO FURTHER TESTS ON HIS WAY HOME. I REFUSED TO LET THEM DRIVE MY JEEP HOME. SO I PICKED IT UP. THE PAPER THEY FORCED ME TO SIGN BEFORE THEY WOULD LET ME HAVE IT STATED THAT I REFUSED FURTHER TESTS.. THAT IS A LIE. I DO NOT CONSIDER THEIR GUY DRIVING MY JEEP HOME AND GOING ON JOY RIDES WITH IT A TEST. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT I CAN DO NOW. THANKS JAMES. K WARREN. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK: 2 DOOR:MODEL X:MANUAL TRANSMISSION: PURCHASED ON 3/29/07: AT 2,833 MILES, MY VEHICLE STALLED ON INTERSTATE 10 AT 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE STALLED DISABLING ALL POWER TO THE CONTROLS FOR 3 SECONDS DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE THEN RESTARTED ON ITS OWN AND I CONTINUED ON MY WAY, THINKING IT WAS SIMPLY A MINOR MALFUNCTION. IT RECURRED AT 5,180 MILES WHILE I WAS IN NEUTRAL GEAR, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND 2 SECONDS LATER IT RESTARTED ON ITS OWN. AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE, I WENT TO RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM ONLINE. I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOW CALLED "THE STALL BUG" AND IT IS HAPPENING TO HUNDREDS OF 2007 JEEP JK WRANGLER OWNERS ON BOTH MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. I FOUND THAT MANY OF THE OWNERS WHO HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM HAVE TAKEN THEIR VEHICLES TO THEIR JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ENDS UP SENDING THEM BACK WITHOUT THE PROBLEM BEING FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. AS SOON AS I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS THIS GROSSLY OVERLOOKED PROBLEM, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED (6/30/07). MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING LOOKED AT BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, BUT FROM THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM YET AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL MOST LIKELY SEND ME HOME WITH A TICKING TIME BOMB OF A VEHICLE AS IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE STALL WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AT AROUND 9,000 MILES. (HTTP://WWW.JK-FORUM.COM). *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT AROUND 70 MPH AND THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN JERKED FORWARD AND SLOWED WAY DOWN. ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS WENT ON, THE CAR WENT DEAD FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THEN STARTED GOING AGAIN LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AGAIN, AND IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THIS JEEP. THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN BRAKE PROBLEMS TWICE... ONE OF WHICH CAUSED A CRASH. THE QUESTION ASKING "OEM" BELOW... I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION AND WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAS NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 6,000.

2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR. STALLS. LOSES ALL ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL POWER. HAS HAPPENED ON FIVE OCCASIONS. ON THE LAST OCCASION I WAS IN A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND WAS ALMOST BROADSIDED WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I WAS CAUGHT IN THE ONCOMING FLOW OF TRAFFIC. BRANDON, FLORIDA DEALERSHIP DENIES THAT SUCH AN OCCURRENCE IS POSSIBLE OR REPAIRABLE BECAUSE THEY "ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM." VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL.

I EXITED THE HIGHWAY ON TO THE RAMP DOING 35MPH AND IN THE TURN I LOST ALL POWER,THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN,WITHIN A FEW SECONDS ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL BUT IT RESTARTED IN TIME. I TALKED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY KNOW NOTHING OF THIS. *TR

DRIVING MY 2007 2 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER AUTOMATIC IT SUDDENLY STALLED AT 50 MPH. THE DASH LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AND THE ENGINE REVVED AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN EVERYTHING CAME BACK TO NORMAL AND IT DROVE HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON FOUR OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 8,409 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6800. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED AND COMPLETELY LOST POWER. ALL OF THE WARNINING INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE ON. AFTER TWO SECONDS THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3000.

JEEP STALLED IN TRAFFIC, ENGINE CUT OFF...DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIT UP...HAD TO RESTART. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER ENGINE STALLS AND LOSS OF ELECTRICITY AND POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENED 2 TIMES. VEHICLE WAS DRIVING UNDER 50 MPH FOR BOTH INSTANCES. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE STALL/LOSS OF ELECTRICITY/LOSS OF POWER STEERING LASTED FOR ONLY ABOUT 1 SECOND.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY NORMAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. VEHICLE SHUT OFF AT 65MPH ON HIGHWAY WITH LOSS OF ALL ELECTRICAL.

LIKE ALOT OF OTHER FOLKS, I HAVE A 2007 JEEP JK THAT STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING. I WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE AT ABOUT 25 MPH WHEN ALL POWER AND ELECTRICITY FAILED FOR 2 SEC. AFTER 2 SEC EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON INCLUDING THE MOTOR (I HAVE A STANDARD) I HAVE READ ON THE WWW.JK-FORUM.COM WEBSITE OF ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH NO CONCRETE FIXES FROM DC. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO WRECK. *TR

(1)DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, 45-65 USUALLY. (2)ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, LOSE POWER TO EVERYTHING, IE POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, THEN STARTS BACK UP AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS (3) ONE DEALER SAID ITS NOT AN ISSUE, THE OTHER "UPDATE" THE COMPUTER, STILL DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. NO POWER AMENITIES GROUP. BUILD DATE OF 9/12/2006. IT HAS A RANDOM STALLING PROBLEM AND HAS SINCE I PURCHASED IT. IT HAS STALLED AT LEAST 6 TIMES ON ME THAT I CAN RECALL. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY PATTERN THAT I CAN RELATE, SPEED IS IRRELEVANT, IT HAS HAPPENED AT DEAD STOPS, AND AT 65MPH THRUWAY SPEEDS. IT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING; ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE IDIOT LIGHTS COME ON, IMMEDIATELY EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN. RADIO, LIGHTS, DASH GAUGES, ENGINE, EVERYTHING. NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES, EVERYTHING IS GONE. THIS HAPPENS FOR MAYBE A SECOND OR TWO. SOMETIMES IT COMES BACK ON BY ITSELF, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY ATTEMPTED THE COMPUTER REFLASH. IT HAD NO EFFECT. I HAVE NO COMPLAINT WITH CECCONI'S CHRYSLER, THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS DAIMLER'S BLUNDER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH 8500 MILES. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 65 MPH UNDER NORMAL DRY CONDITIONS WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED.THE CONTACT TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHILE COASTING, IT WOULD NOT RESTART SO THE CONTACT WAS SAFELY ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT SHUT OFF THEN CAME BACK ON BEFORE THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IT RESTARTED AND SHE HAS NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND MADE THEM AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE DEALER OFFERED TO REPLACE THE JEEP WITH A NEW ONE.

VEHICLE STALLS OUT, ALL "IDIOT" LIGHTS GO ON, HEADLIGHTS AND OTHER LIGHTING GO OFF, THEN VEHICLE RESTARTS, HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES, AND HAS HAPPENED AFTER DEALERSHIP "FIXED" WITH A MANUFACTURER ISSUED TSB, ON THIS LAST DATE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY @ 70MPH ! LOST ALL LIGHTS AND POWER. AND THIS IS ONLY ONE OF THE ISSUES WITH THIS 2007 VEHICLE I PURCHASED IN NOV ! I EVEN HAVE A CASEMANAGER THOUGHT THE MANUF. FOR A ROOF LEAK THAT THEY HAVE TRIED TO FIX 5 TIMES AND IT STILL LEAKS. *TR

1) THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM LIGHT HAS COME ON AND STAYED ON 3 TIMES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. 2) YESTERDAY, WHILE TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED MOMENTARILY, BUT RESTARTED. IN SURPRISE, I SWERVED A LITTLE BIT, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, OTHER '07 WRANGLERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS AS WELL AND IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. 3) I CONTACTED MY DEALER TODAY TO TAKE A LOOK AT MY VEHICLE TOMORROW. I DESCRIBED THE ISSUE, BUT THEY SEEMED UNFAMILIAR WITH IT. *TR

I HAVE HAD STALL ISSUES ALL AROUND TOWN, AT LEAST 4 TIMES. THE WORSE STALL ISSUE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ALL MY DASH LIGHTS LIT UP AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. I HAD TO "LIMP" MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER. CHRYSLER DID A BUY BACK ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

I AM HERE TO REPORT THE STALLING PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. I EXPERIENCED LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER ALONG WITH ENGINE FAILURE AND WAS UNABLE TO START MY JEEP FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE DOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. (I THINK I WAS DOING ABOUT 60MPH AT THE TIME). I KNOW THERE ARE FELLOW 07 WRANGLER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS AS WELL AND WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO SEE THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED BY THIS MALFUNCTION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. MICHAEL WOLFE. *TR

IT HAPPENS TO A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER, 2 DR, 6-SP MANUAL. I WAS DOING CITY DRIVING, AND WAS SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, WHEN SUDDENLY ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON, AND THE RADIO CUT OFF, ENGINE STALL FOR A SPLIT SECOND, AND TURN BACK ON TO NORMAL. DEALER DID A TSB ON THIS BUT DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. I HAVE HAD 3 ISSUES WITH IT STALLING OR WITH SYSTEMS FAILURE. THE FIRST TIME HAPPENED ON THE DATE LISTED BELOW. I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION AT ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN MY JEEP LOST POWER FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. LUCKILY, I MADE IT THROUGH WITHOUT ANY ISSUES AND THE POWER RESUMED. 3 DAYS LATER, I TOOK MY JEEP INTO MY LOCAL DEALER (WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED) AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO DIAGNOSTIC THAT COULD BE PERFORMED ON IT AT THAT TIME BECAUSE THE SOFTWARE WASN'T AVAILABLE YET. SINCE THAT DATE, I HAVE HAD 2 OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES. ABOUT 4 MONTHS AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, MY JEEP STALLED OUT AT A STOPLIGHT. I HAD TO RESTART THE ENGINE. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I STARTED MY JEEP IN THE EARLY MORNING TO WARM IT UP BEFORE WORK, AND WHEN I CAME BACK OUT IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES, AND AS NO LONGER RUNNING. I DIDN'T THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS UNTIL I READ AN ARTICLE RECENTLY ABOUT OTHERS HAVING ISSUES WITH THEIR 2007 JEEP WRANGLERS. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE MY STORIES WERE KNOWN, TOO! THANKS! *TR

I AM THE OWNER OR A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X 4X4 6SPD. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROX 2,600 MILES ON IT. ON MAY 30TH I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA WHEN I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. I WAS ON MY WAY TO GET GAS AND MY GAS LIGHT WAS ON (I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS RELEVANT OR NOT BUT I WILL REPORT IT). WHILE APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN, WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AT ABOUT 3 MPH THE VEHICLE JUST STALLED. NO REAL WARNING JUST A FLASH OF THE RADIO LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS AND THE VEHICLE DIED. I THOUGHT IT HAD RUN OUT OF GAS BUT IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. THEN I THOUGHT POSSIBLY THE GAS WAS VERY LOW BUT THERE WERE STILL 2 GALLONS LEFT IN THE TANK AS I FOUND OUT WHEN I FILLED UP THE TANK 2 MINUTES LATER. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I RESEARCHED THIS "STALL" A LITTLE MORE ONLINE. I CAME ACROSS JK-FORUM.COM AND THIS WAS NOT JUST AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM IN WHICH THE DEALERS POKE AND HOPE WITH THEIR REPAIRS AND THEY DO NOT WORK. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE. I THINK ABOUT IT EVERYTIME I SET IN MY VEHICLE NOW WAITING FOR IT TO STALL IN AN EVEN WORSE SITUATION SUCH AS A HIGHWAY OFF OR ON RAMP OR SOMETHING. CHRYSLER MUST BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FINDING A FIX ASAP IN MY OPINION. *TR

STALL: MY NEW 2007 WRANGLER HAS TWICE STALLED AND LOST ALL POWER FOR 1-2 SECONDS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALL TURN ON AS IF THE CAR WAS JUST STARTED, THE BRAKES AND STEERING STOP RESPONDING AND THE ENGINE SEEMS TO EITHER TURN OFF COMPLETELY OR GO SILENT. THIS LASTS FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND THEN THE VEHICLE POWERS UP AGAIN AND ACTS AS IF NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR ON STRAIGHT LANES AND AM WORRIED THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF IT HAPPENS ON A CURVE OR WHEN I NEED TO USE MY BRAKES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO JEEP AND WAS GIVEN THE RESPONSE "CANNOT DUPLICATE, NO ACTION TAKEN" BUT THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME AND DON'T WANT THEM TO FINALLY TAKE THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY WHEN MY WIFE, 5 MONTH OLD INFANT AND MYSELF ARE ON THE NEWS BECAUSE WE DIED ON THE ROAD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. ON MAY 22, 2007, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS DIMMED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. THE FAILURE PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED IN MARCH OF 2007. THE VEHICLE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE SIZE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 5,800 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

AT APPROXIMATELY 3,000 MILES VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL AT 45 MPH. RADIO TURNED OFF, LOST CONTROL OF STEERING, ALL LIGHTS LIT UP ON DASHBOARD. THIS LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 4-5 SECONDS. SCARY! TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR FLASH"OF COMPUTER PER TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB). ALL WAS WELL UNTIL YESTERDAY AT 9,100 MILES. SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED! WILL HAVE DEALER CHECK OBD FOR ERROR CODES. THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM AND CONCERN, COULD HAVE BEEN TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON INTERSTATE WITH SEMI BEHIND ME. THEN WHAT? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ASSISTANCE WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND POTENTIAL FOR INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. JUST WANTED THE PROBLEM ACKNOWLEDGED AND CORRECTED.*AK
