NHTSA Complaint #10196148 — 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4

ON FOUR OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED AND ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS LOST POWER FOR ABOUT 1.5 TO 2 SECONDS. EVERYTHING THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. WHEN THIS OCCURS, ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON AS THOUGH THE IGNITION KEY WAS IN THE "ON" POSITION, AS IT IS JUST BEFORE STARTING THE CAR, THEN ALL RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS IS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. SHOULD A DRIVER BE IN THE MIDST OF AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER DURING ONE OF THESE OCCURRENCES, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN DECEMBER , AND THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE ADDITIONAL TIMES, THE LAST BEING THE DATE LISTED ON THIS COMPLAINT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE HAS INFORMED ME THAT HE NOTED ALL FOUR REPORTED INCIDENTS IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. *AK
