These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. These inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling. An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the recall repair is complete. Chrysler will notify the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM owners. Mitsubishi owners will be notified by their company. Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.

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.

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

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 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

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.

VEHICLE WAS SET ON CRUISE AT 45MPH AND SUDDENLY SUFFERED A COMPLETE POWER LOSS AND STALLED. NO EQUIPMENT WAS FUNCTIONAL IN THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING GAUGES, HEADLIGHTS, RADIO, ETC. AS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS STILL IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED VERY SUDDENLY UNTIL POWER WAS RESTORED APPROXIMATELY 3-4 SECONDS LATER, AT WHICH POINT THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ITSELF. POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WERE ALSO AFFECTED DURING THIS POWER LOSS, AND NEITHER WAS FUNCTIONAL. BATTERY CABLES DO NOT APPEAR LOOSE AND THERE IS NO OTHER INDICATION OF LOOSE WIRING. *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

AS I WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH ON A LEVEL ROAD; THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER COMPLETELY FAILED. JUST AS QUICKLY AS THE ENGINE/ELECTRICAL CUT OUT (WITHIN 1-2 SECONDS) ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED ON ITS OWN. WHAT MADE THIS EVENT A DANGER TO ME AND POSSIBLY OTHERS ON THE ROAD IS WHEN THE ENGINE DIED I ALSO LOST POWER STEERING. THIS CAUSING ME TO MOVE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC (I WAS ROUNDING A SWEEPING CORNER AT THE TIME). WHEN THE ENGINE RESTARTED IT CAUSED THE POWER STEERING TO IMMEDIATELY COME BACK WHICH IN TURN CAUSED A QUICK JERK BACK INTO MY LANE OF TRAVEL. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MANEUVER GIVEN THE TYPE OF VEHICLE THIS IS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MANY 2007 JEEP WRANGLERS. *JB

WITH LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER JK X, I HAVE ALREADY HAD 2 OCCURRENCES WHERE THE JEEP WOULD "STALL" UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. FLAT ROAD DRIVING, NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS (50-65), IT WILL LOSE POWER TO THE MOTOR, GIVING A MILD BUCK, THEN RADIO CUTS OUT, ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON, AND ABOUT A SECOND LATER, ALL GO OUT, AND DRIVING RESUMES AS NORMAL. NEARLY GOT REAR-ENDED BY AN 18-WHEELER DUE TO POWER LOSS. BOTH TIMES WERE UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. *JB
Electrical system, Apr 4, 2007
ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS NOW THE JEEP HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS IN MOVING TRAFFIC. THERE ARE NO SYMPTOMS THAT LEAD UP TO THE INCIDENTS. AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND AT VARIOUS TIMES ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WILL COME ON FOR A SECOND, THEN THEY ALL GO OFF, THE RADIO SHUTS OFF, AND THE ENGINE DIES AS IF THE IGNITION HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. THE ENGINE AND LIGHTS WILL STAY OFF FOR AN AVERAGE OF A 4 TO 6 SECONDS AND THE VEHICLE WILL START BACK UP AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IN THE FACT THAT DURING THIS TIME PERIOD ALL VEHICLE CONTROL IS LOST. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP MORE THAN ONCE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THEY REPORT THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, AND PRETTY MUCH ACT AS IF IT IS A NON-ISSUE SINCE THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM.*AK
