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.

REF: WRANGLER STALLING PROBLEM (PE07027). JEEP WRANGLER 2DR 4WD 2007 AUTO TRANS. VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE A TRANSIENT ELECTRONICS FAULT IN HOT WEATHER. WHEN THE FAULT OCCURS, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD FLASH FOR ABOUT A SECOND (SIMILAR TO AT ENGINE START). ON THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, THERE WAS A BRIEF LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND THE BRAKES MAY HAVE APPLIED MOMENTARILY, AS IF THE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM HAD ACTIVATED. ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED AS IF AT STARTUP. CD PLAYER STOPPED. THIS WAS AT 25MPH ON A FLAT RESIDENTIAL STREET, ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STARTED AFTER SOAKING IN HOT SUN ON A 90F+ DAY. THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION WITHIN ONE SECOND. SERVICE ADVISOR AT DEALERSHIP (BOARDWALK AUTO, REDWOOD CITY, CA) ADVISED ME TO CALL BACK IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE WAS CLIMBING A MODERATE HILL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC (CALIFORNIA RT 92 BETWEEN I-280 AND SKYLINE BLVD, A WELL KNOWN HEAVILY TRAVELED HILL). THE ENGINE RPMS SUDDENLY INCREASED FROM ABOUT 1,500 TO ABOUT 3,000 RPM AS THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED UNEXPECTEDLY. ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED ON, THEN RESET TO NORMAL. AGAIN, THIS HAPPENED ON AN UNUSUALLY HOT DAY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD SPENT MOST OF THE DAY PARKED IN SUNLIGHT. SERVICE ADVISOR AT DEALERSHIP (BOARDWALK AUTO, REDWOOD CITY, CA) ADVISED ME TO CALL BACK IF IT HAPPENED A THIRD TIME. IN ALL CASES, THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE WAS NORMAL.

APPROX. 3 WEEKS AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR NEW 2007 JEEP WRANGLER WE EXPERIENCED A PREMATURE ENGAGEMENT OF THE ESP SYSTEM UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AT A SPEED OF 35MPH. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE DUE TO AUTOMATIC BRAKING AND SHUT DOWN OF THROTTLE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED 3 LEAKING BRAKE CALIPERS. APPROX. 2 WEEKS LATER WE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE AT A LOW SPEED. WE IMMEDIATELY RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER SERVICE AND THEY REPLACED THE REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. AGAIN, 1 WEEK LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURED WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE. CHRYSLER SERVICE REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR. THE 4TH INCIDENT OCCURRED 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CANNOT DUPLICATE OR REPAIR THE PROBLEM. WE FILED A LEMON LAW CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDER SETTLEMENT. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY WILL BE REPLACING THE VEHICLE AND THE PAPERWORK IS BEING PROCESSED.

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.
