NHTSA Complaint #10279932 — 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X2

2007 JEEP WRANGLER WOULD NO START AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 2 DAYS, WAITED 10 MINUTES AND IT STARTED. SAME DAY I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH AND IT STALLED/DIED COMPLETELY WITH ALL DASH LIGHT COMING ON. JEEP WAS HAULED BY A WRECKER TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, THE WRECKER DRIVER DROVE THE JEEP ONTO THE WRECKER AND OFF THE WRECKER. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. PICKED UP ON 7/23, VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR A WEE, 8/1-8/3, IT STARTED UP AND DROVE FINE. ON 8/4 PARKED AND IT WOULDN'T START AGAIN. WAITED 1 HOUR AND IT STARTED, DROVE TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, SO FAR IT SITS FOR 15 MINUTES AFTER STALLING, IT WILL START. THE DEALERSHIP REPROGRAMMED ABS MODULE AND STEERING ANGLE SENSOR ROAD TEST, NO FAULTS AND ALL SENSORS WORKING PROPERLY. DID REPROGRAM TIPM, COULD NOT DUPLICATE STALLING. LEFT DEALERSHIP ON 8/6/09, DROVE 2 DAYS NO PROBLEMS. 8/8 STALLED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND WAS STILL ABLE TO ROLL WINDOWS DOWN. STARTED AFTER 5 MINUTES, PARKED FOR 5 HOURS, CAR STARTED BUT AFTER GOING 20 YDS. THE A/C CUT OFF, BACK ON AND CONTINUED TO DO THIS FOR 30 MINUTES. A/C STARTED RUNNING OK AND THEN THE JEEP STALLED AGAIN TRAVELING 50 MPH, NO WHERE TO GET OFF HIGHWAY, PARKED IN THE ROAD ON A HILL AND WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. SHERIFF DEPUTY PULLED UP, CAR STARTED 15 MINUTES LATER AND SHERIFF FOLLOWED ME HOME. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WANT ME TO LEAVE IT WITH THEM UNTIL THEY CAN DUPLICATE WHILE THEIR. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF BEING REARENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN IT STALLS YOU CAN ONLY TRAVEL A FEW YARDS AND IT'S HARD TO GET OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. I HAVE READ ABOUT OTHER 2007 JEEPS DOING THIS AND I TRULY UNDERSTAND THE OTHER DRIVERS FEAR FOR THEIR LIFE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.*TR
