I WAS ACCELERATING AND HAD REACHED ABOUT 45 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THIS LASTED FOR ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECONDS, AND THEN THE ENGINE CAME BACK ON AND ALL WAS WELL. *JB
Electrical system, Mar 28, 2007
WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN,ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. A FEW SECONDS LATER IT RESTARTED. IF THE INTERSECTION WAS A 2 WAY STOP THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. A DEALER WAS HESITANT TO FIX A PROBLEM IF IT COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM , AND I KNEW OF AT LEAST 50 PEOPLE THAT HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. IT SEEMED TO HAPPEN EVERY 2000 MILES. THE ORIGINAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) TO FIX THIS PROBLEM DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK
Electrical system, Mar 17, 2007
I WAS LEAVING WORK ON 3/15/07 AND GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ABOUT 65 MPH IN THE RAIN WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I WAS DOING NOTHING BUT DRIVING WHEN THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF THE GAUGES WENT NUTS. I DRIVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND IT HAS ONLY 2000 MILES ON IT. I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR EVEN KILLED BY THIS EVENT. TODAY ON MY WAY BACK TO WORK THE JEEP WAS SHAKING BADLY LOTS OF VIBRATION AT HIWAY SPEEDS. ONCE AGAIN I JUST BOUGHT IT BACK IN DECEMBER AND NOW IT SHUTS OFF AND IS ONE BIG VIBRATOR GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I WILL BE TAKING THE JEEP BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I WILL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THEY WILL FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT SINCE THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON OR ANY OTHER SYMPTONS. I WOULD LIKE THIS INVESTAGATED. I HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE A RECALL BEFORE TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FROM THIS. BUT GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPPEDS AND YOUR ENGINE SHUTTING OFF AND HAVEING NO CONTROL OVER YOUR VEHICLE IS A PERFECT RECIPE FOR A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

THIS ISSUE NORMALLY OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON AN INCLINE AND IS WELL WITHIN SAFE SPEEDS FOR THE GIVEN ROAD. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVEN WHEN THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL PROGRAM IS TURNED OFF. *NM
