2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

I WAS DRIVING AT 55MPH AND RAN OVER A BADLY MAINTAINED ROAD BUMP (A 3FT SECTION OF PAVEMENT SPANNING BOTH LANES OF A 2 LANE RD. THAT HAD NO STONE IN IT TO LEVEL IT OFF) AND MY 2007 JEEP 4DR WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA LOST ENGINE POWER. ALL POWER OPTIONS IN TURN LOST POWER. I MANAGED TO PULL THE JEEP TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT. IT STARTED BACK UP WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. THIS SAME POWER LOSS OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE AFTER DRIVING ON A WET ROAD ON A RAINY DAY. THAT 2ND OCCURRENCE LASTED ABOUT 1SECOND AND THEN RE-POWERED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING EXCESSIVELY AND CONTINUED TO SHAKE WHILE SHE WAS PARKING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED FOR OVER A YEAR AND THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE ALSO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING; HOWEVER, SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE ARE NO RELATED RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

STALLED AT HIGHWAY SPEED. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE VEHICLE; ENGINE RESTARTED IN 5 MINUTES. *JB

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...

DRIVING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS OF THE CAROLINA'S ON I-40 AT SPEED. VEHICLE SHUT DOWN FOR A SPLIT SECOND. ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, CRUISE CONTROL TURNED OFF AND VEHICLE SLOWED. VEHICLE RESTARTED ON IT?S OWN. SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, THIS TIME ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES PER HOUR. (REFERENCE #10192459) THIS IS NOT SAFE!! MY WIFE WILL NOT LET ME TRANSPORT OUR KIDS IN THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. GOING INTO DEALER ASAP! *TR

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED HAS NOW STALLED TWICE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE STALL IS MOMENTARY, APPROXIMATELY TWO SECONDS, AND THE VEHICLE QUICKLY RESUMES NORMAL OPERATION. THERE IS AN INITIAL "LURCH", THEN ALL OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP, THEN OPERATION RESUMES. IT SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT IS VERY ALARMING WHEN IT HAPPENS. ON ONE OF MY TWO OCCURRENCES I WAS TRAVELING AT 70MPH ON A FREEWAY, WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER MY FIRST OCCURRENCE I DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM TO MY DEALER AND THE RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WAS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CRUISE CONTROL (OBVIOUSLY THEY DID NOT INTERPRET MY DESCRIPTION PROPERLY). *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA 2007 MODEL STARTED TO STALL AND HESITATE, AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKERED; ENGINE LIGHT AND SEATBELT LIGHT CAME ON; I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR KICKED INTO GEAR AND KEPT GOING. *AK

VEHICLE STALLED UPON ACCELERATION UP A HILL STARTED ITSELF UP AGAIN WITHIN 5 SECONDS. INTERMITTANT ROUGH IDLE/CHUGGING OCCURING AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. OTHER TIMES VEHICLE BEHAVED AS IF STALLED BUT RECOVERED RAPIDLY

OUR JEEP HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND WHILE SITTING AT IDLE. IT IS ACCOMPANIED BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHTING UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND THEN THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOING OUT. THIS INCLUDES THE HEADLIGHTS EXTINGUISHING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY--VERY SCARY.

THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES NOW. THE FIRST TIME WAS ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE JEEP ON INTERSTATE 95 ON CRUISE CONTROL AT ABOUT 70MPH. THE JEEP STALLED, RADIO CUT OFF, EVERYTHING WENT BLANK, AND RAPIDLY DEACCELERATED. THEN THE WHOLE DASH LIT BACK UP, IT RESTARTED ON ITS OWN AND THE RPMS WENT WAY UP THEM RESUMED AS NORMAL WITH A JERK BACK INTO GEAR. I NEARL WAS REAR ENDED BY A TRUCK TAILING RIGHT BEHIND ME WHO HONKED, SLAMMED BRAKES AND JERKED AROUND ME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEARLERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO OTHER REPORTS ON TSB AND THE COMPUTER FOUND NO PROBLEM, NOR COULD THEY DUPLICATE IT SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN "WORKING IT'S KINKS OUT". I TOOK IT HOME. ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER IT ONCE AGAIN DID THE SAME THING IN STOP AND GO...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ON FOUR OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAS NOT DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16.

ENGINE CUT OUT (STALLED) ON 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. ENGINE RESTARTED AFTER PULLING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 4DR 4WD THAT HAS STALLED TWICE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 6,000 MILES AND I'VE REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE OCCURRED DURING THE DAY WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH FOR OVER AN HOUR. THE VEHICLE CUT OUT, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, I LOST POWER STEERING, AND WITHIN 3 SECONDS THE VEHICLE "RE-STARTED" ITSELF ON ITS OWN. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OCCURRED SEVERAL MONTHS LATER WHILE TRAVELING AT 70MPH FOR OVER AN HOUR. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT NIGHT AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. ALL THE SUDDEN THE ENGINE CUT OUT, I LOST HEADLIGHTS, AND WITHIN 3 SECONDS THE VEHICLE CAME BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AGAIN, I REPORTED TO THE DEALER, AT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. *TR

ENGINE CUTS OUT AND ALL DASH LIGHTS GO ON. AS SOON AS I REALIZE WHAT IS GOING ON THINGS ARE BACK TO NORMAL.HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 45 MPH. THE SECOND TIME WAS DOING 70 ON I94 NEXT TO A SEMI TRACTOR. THE THIRD TIME WAS ON AN EXIT RAMP ON I55 IN JOLIET IL. THE LAST TIME WAS ON JUNE 1, 2007 WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE DISMISSED IT. TOLD ME THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. ON THE LAST VISIT THEY SAID "THE CUSTOMER STATES THE ENGINE HESITATES SO BAD HE THINKS IT HAS STALLED THEN WILL SNAP BACK AND WILL ACCELERATE NORMALLY". I WAS VERY FRUSTRATED WHEN I RED THIS BECAUSE IT IS NOT HESITATION IT IS A STALL. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIES....

VEHICLE: 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X 4X4 . I WAS DRIVING IN 4-WD-LOW DOWN A SANDY HILL AND I HIT A RATHER LARGE BUMP/RUT AND THE ENGINE CUT OFF , RENDERING THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES INEFFECTIVE. LUCKILY , THERE WAS NO OTHER TRAFFIC IN THE AREA OR OBSTACLES IN FRONT OF ME, AND I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE JEEP TO A STOP IN 50 YARDS OR SO ON A STEEP DOWN-HILL SECTION OF ROAD. AFTER BRING THE JEEP TO A STOP IT STARTED UP AGAIN WITHOUT PROBLEM. THE JEEP DEALER SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM ALTHOUGH I HAVE FOUND OTHER'S ON THE WEB, INDICATING SITUATIONS WHERE THE ENGINE RANDOMLY TURNED OFF. THIS WAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IF I HAD BEEN IN A SITUATION WITH ANY OBSTACLES , TREES, CARS N FRONT OF ME, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WAY FOR ME TO STOP...

AT 75 MPH THE ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE SYSTEM STOPPED FUNCTIONING FOR 1-2 SECONDS, THEN RESUMED NORMAL FUNCTION. POWER ASSIST TO BRAKES AND STEERING WERE LOST FOR THIS TIME, AT HIGHWAY SPEED. *AK

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. *JB

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.*AK

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. *AK

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.*AK

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.*AK

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. *NM
