2007 Jeep Wrangler Complaint Log

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWING SINCE IT WAS ALMOST NEW. JEEP HAS REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY HAZARD THAT THIS FLAW CAUSES EACH AND EVERY TIME THESE JEEPS ARE FUELED UP. AT THE POINT OF FILLING UP, THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS SENDING LARGE AMOUNTS OF GAS ON THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A TERRIBLE FIRE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD THAT COULD LEAD TO PUBLIC INJURY AND EVEN DEATH IF IT CAUSED A FIRE. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE A VIDEO OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURRING IF NEEDED TO GET THIS ADDRESSED. ABSENT ACTION BEING TAKEN HERE, I AM NOT SURE WHERE TO TURN OTHER THAN MAINSTREAM MEDIA TO GET ACTION TO BE TAKEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER LIMITED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING 10 MPH AND ABOVE, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BOUNCE VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TAKES A MINIMUM OF FOUR MEN TO REMOVE THE HARD TOP (FREEDOM TOP) FROM THE VEHICLE. THE TOP LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WASHED. DAIMLER CHRYSLER STATED THAT IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE INSPECTED, THE HARD TOP WOULD HAVE TO BE PLACED BACK ON THE VEHICLE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DO SO, THE TOP BECAME TOO HEAVY AND WAS DROPPED, RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 4,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY AT 60MPH MY RADIO DIED FOR 3-5 SECONDS AND AFTER IT CAME BACK ON MY WHOLE ENGINE/ CAR DIED AND THE DASH LIGHTS LIT UP. WHEN I PUSHED THE CLUTCH IN AND RELEASED IT THE CAR CAME BACK ON. *TR

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

I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET CLOSE TO MY HOME ON A VERY SLIGHT INCLINE AND MY RADIO SHUT OFF, LIGHTS SHUT OFF, ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND THEN APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS LATER ALL CAME BACK ON. (2007 JEEP WRANGLER X). *TR

I HAVE A WRANGLER BUILT IN 9/06 AND PURCHASED IN 11/06. IT HAS A STALLING ISSUE WHILE DRIVING, IT HAS HAD ALL THE RECALLS AND FLASHES DONE TO THE COMPUTER AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH STATING THAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE STALLING. I HAVE ALSO FILED 2 OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ORG. ON THIS..#10192506 ON 6/5 AND #10204419 ON 9/28. WHILE DRIVING TONIGHT AT A STEADY 70 MPH. THE ENGINE CUT OUT, STALLED THEN RE-STARTED ! LUCKILY MY PREGNANT WIFE WAS NOT IN THE CAR. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WENT IN FOR THE LAST RECALL ON THIS, AND THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS STALLED SINCE THE "FIX" AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY...I THINK ANYONE WOULD BELIEVE A VEHICLE STALLING AND LOSING LIGHTS AT NIGHT DOING @70MPH IS VERY DANGEROUS. ALL I WANT IS A VEHICLE THAT I CAN DEPEND ON, I WILL STATE AGAIN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND THE ENGINE IS STILL STALLING WHILE DRIVING, AND THIS IS THE 3RD TIME SINCE THE MANUFACTURES RECALL COMPUTER "FLASH FIX" . I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME HELP! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE DEALER HAS HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 15 DAYS. IT IS BEING SERVICED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V434000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE AND WOULD KEEP THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT ARRIVED. THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

FUEL OVERFLOWS WHENEVER PUMP IS LEFT ON "FILL." THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME I FILL THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE. FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY CAN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM. I NOW JUST ADD A FEW DOLLARS WORTH OF GAS AT A TIME SO I KNOW IT WON'T HIT THE SHUT OFF POINT & OVERFLOW. *TR

HOOD POPS UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DUE TO INADEQUATE, UNSAFE RUBBER HOOD LATCHES. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TWO RUBBER HOOD STRAPS ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE HOOD CLOSED. ON TWO LANE ROADS, THE AIR TURBULENCE FROM LARGE ONCOMING VEHICLES WILL CAUSE THE HOOD TO LIFT APPROXIMATELY TWO INCHES UNTIL THE SAFETY LATCH ENGAGES. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS DISTRACTION WHEN THE HOOD RISES AND THEN SLAMS DOWN AFTER THE ONCOMING VEHICLE PASSES. *TR

STALLS OUT, DIFFERENT TIMES. INSTRUMENT LIGHTS COME ON, LOSE POWER FOR ABOUT 5 SEC THEN REGAIN POWER. HAD SOFTWARE FIX, STILL HAS PROBLEM, THIS PROBLEM COULD KILL SOMEONE.*CN

2007 JEEP WRANGLER. HAS HAD THE ENGINE STALL ISSUE, IN FOR TSB ON THIS ISSUE-VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. DEALERSHIP THEN LATER SAID IT WAS STALLING DUE TO IGNITION SWITCH AFTER A FEW MORE STALLING INCIDENTS. THEY REPLACED THE SWITCH, THEN MANUFACTURER ISSUED A RECALL IN JULY FOR THIS ISSUE, THE RECALL WAS DONE. TODAY 9/27 THE EXACT STALL WHILE DRIVING HAPPENED AGAIN, VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHEN DRIVING, LOSING ALL POWER/LIGHTS/STEERING/BRAKES. *JB

WE HAVE A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. EVERY TIME WE HIT A POTHOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE CAR DOES THIS SHAKE AND YOU LOSE CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2007 AT LEAST 1 TIME A WEEK. I AM LUCK I HAVE NOT CRASHED YET. *TR

2007 JEEP WRANGLER WITH LATE MARCH 2007 BUILD DATE IS EXPERIENCING STALL FAILURES OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHILE BRAKING AT A STOP SIGN, MY JEEP STALLED OUT AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF SECONDS CAME BACK ON. DURING THIS STALL PERIOD, BOTH STEERING AND BRAKING ARE SEVERELY NEGATIVELY INFLUENCED. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. AN ALARM TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE AIR BAG KNEE BOLSTERS WERE NOT INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OWNER'S MANUAL INDICATED THAT THEY WERE STANDARD AND SHOULD COME EQUIPPED WITH THE KNEE BOLSTERS. THE CONTACT FILED TWO COMPLAINTS WITH DAIMLER CHRYSLER (16465025 AND 16695953) IN JULY AND SEPTEMBER OF 2007. ON JULY 5, 2007, A REPRESENTATIVE FROM DAIMLER CHRYSLER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH THE AIR BAG KNEE BOLSTERS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE KNEE BOLSTERS WERE NOT STANDARD FOR HIS VEHICLE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE TANK AND IT REACHED THE CAPACITY, THE FUEL BEGAN TO SPILL OUT OF THE TANK SPLASHING ONTO THE CONTACT THE GROUND. THE CONTACT HAS CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE GAS TANK AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF ANY RELATED FAILURES. THE CONTACT HAS MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE COULD CAUSE A FIRE TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,804.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE OPERATING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THE MOTOR FAILED. THERE WAS BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD UPON FAILURE. THE CONTACT MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS TO THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AT HIS OWN EXPENSE. HE ALSO STATED THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL TANK SKID PLATE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

WHILE NEGOTIATING A RIGHT HAND CURVE ON A LOCAL TOWN ROAD IN MY 07 JEEP WRANGLER X, 2-DR, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE ENGINE STALLED FOR APPROX. 2 SECONDS AND THEN RESTARTED ITSELF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS CAUSED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING (I ASSUME) AS STEERING/CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH WITH NO PASSENGERS. THIS VEHICLE HAS A BUILD DATE OF 04/17/07 AND WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM A JEEP DEALER ON 07/02/07. THE VEHICLE HAD 4166 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. AFTER CHECKING DAIMLERCHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL G25, REPROGRAM TIPM - ENGINE STALLING DATED JULY 2007, I SEE THAT ALTHOUGH I HAVE THE EXACT SYMPTOMS LISTED, THE BUILD DATE OF MY VEHICLE FALLS OUTSIDE THE DATE LISTED IN THE RECALL (01-22-07). OBVIOUSLY THIS NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. THIS CAN ALSO BE VERIFIED VIA THE FOLLOWING INTERNET FORUM THREAD: "HTTP://WWW.JK-FORUM.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=2366" THIS FORUM INCLUDES QUITE A FEW OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE INCLUDING MANY THAT; 1) HAVE HAD THE RECALL PROCEDURE PERFORMED ALREADY; 2) HAVE A VEHICLE OUTSIDE OF THE SPECIFIED BUILD DATE; OR 3) ACTUALLY OWN A 2008 MODEL YEAR JEEP WRANGLER. IT SEEMS THE RECALL PROCEDURE OR "FIX" DOES NOT ACTUALLY CORRECT THIS ISSUE AND THAT THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE LATER BUILD DATES. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING IN A SLOWER, LOW TRAFFIC, LESS HAZARDOUS SITUATION DURING MY FIRST INCIDENT BUT NOW I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THIS OCCURS AGAIN DURING FASTER, HIGHWAY USE OR IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WITH FAMILY MEMBERS/PASSENGERS THE OUTCOME COULD BE DISASTROUS. MY VEHICLE IS NEVER ABUSED AND WELL MAINTAINED. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF FURTHER DETAILS ARE REQUIRED. *TR

WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC GETTING ON THE FREEWAY, MY ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUT AS I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER SEEM TO LOCK UP AS THE VEHICLE QUITS RESPONDING TO DRIVER COMMANDS. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE FIRST 1000 MILES SINCE BEING PURCHASED. THE DEALER CANNOT SEEM TO DUPLICATE THIS DISCREPANCY. THIS VEHICLE IS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DR 4X4. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING UP A STEEP HILL AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE CONTACT CONTINUOUSLY APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL.

NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO A MALFUNCTION OF THE WIRING IN THE ABS.

I PURCHASED A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON NEW. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, I DISCOVERED THAT GASOLINE WOULD FREQUENTLY OVERFLOW THE FILLER PORT WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE. FOR SOME REASON, ONCE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, FUEL OVERFLOWS THE PORT AND FLOWS OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. *KB

ABS/ TRACTION CONTROL/ ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ENGAGES AT TIMES WHEN USING HIGHWAY ON/ OFF RAMPS AND WITHOUT APPLYING THE BRAKES. VEHICLE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED FOR THIS ISSUE BY UPDATING THE ABS CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE TO THE LATEST VERSION, BUT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. THE ABS MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND STAYS ILLUMINATED, BUT THE DEALER CAN FIND NO TROUBLE CODES. NOTE: THIS VEHICLE DID NOT FALL INTO CAMPAIGN 06V493000 AS THE ABS MODULE UNDER THE SCOPE OF THAT RECALL WAS INTRODUCED TWO DAYS AFTER THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT.

AT 65 MPH ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AS IF JEEP HAD LOST POWER AND CAME BACK ON. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR ANY INCIDENCES LIKE THIS AND FOUND A NEWS STORY THAT SAID CHRYSLER WAS BEING INVESTIGATED AND WAS TO RECALL 80,000 JEEPS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY DENIED WE HAVE A PROBLEM AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO EVEN LOOK AT MY JEEP BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THE VIN NUMBER DIDN'T MATCH THE RECALL. MEANWHILE I AM DRIVING A JEEP UNSURE IF IT WILL STALL OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

IT IS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER X WITH A 6 SPEED MANUAL, THERE IS A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. WHEN IN THE RPM RANGE OF 1500 TO 2000 RPMS IT MAKES THIS NOISE. IT IS STARTING TO BECOME VERY ANNOYING BECAUSE THE MORE I DRIVE THE LOUDER IT GETS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE THROW OUT BEARING PER THE TSB THAT WAS GIVEN. THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THAT IT WOULD TAKE 30 DAYS TO GET A FIELD ENGINEER OUT TO LOOK AT MY PROBLEM TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION FOR IT. SO I AM STILL WAITING AND NOT VERY HAPPY WITH THE DEALERSHIPS OUTCOME. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING WELL UP UNTIL 10,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS GETTING 21-25 MILES PER GALLON AND HAD A LOT OF POWER. IN AUGUST OF 2007, HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V291000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND TOOK HIS VEHICLE IN TO BE REPAIRED. SINCE THE REPAIR WAS MADE, THE VEHICLE HAS BECOME SLUGGISH WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 5 AND 60 MPH, THE TIMING HAS SLOWED, THE VEHICLE HAS NO POWER AND STALLS WHEN IT SHOULD ACCELERATE, AND USES MORE FUEL (14-17 MPG). HE HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE; ONCE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AND ONCE DUE TO THE RESULTS OF THE REPAIR. THE DEALER FROM WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED STATED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG AND WOULD BE HIS RESPONSIBILITY. THE CONTACT WOULD LIKE HIS VEHICLE RESTORED TO THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,400 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. UPDATED 11/06/07. *JB

THE SEAT BELTS IN THE BACK WHEN BUCKLING ARE LOCKED. MAKING IT HARD TO MOVE AROUND. SINCE DAY THE I BOUGHT THE CAR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING. ONLY AFTER MY WARRANTIES WERE UP DID THEY SAY THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM IF I PAID FOR THE LABOR. THE ENGINE HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM ALSO FROM THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT, THE DEALERSHIP HAS COVERED IT UP AGAIN UNTIL THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. THEY FOUND 5 LEAKY AREAS IN THE ENGINE.

300 MILES ON MY NEW 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. IT WILL NOT IDLE CORRECTLY. INCORRECT GAS-CAP ANALYSIS. IN FOR SERVICE 2 TIMES FOR SAME PROBLEM. JEEP NEEDS ANOTHER RECALL ON THIS PIECE OF JUNK. *TR

WHILE COASTING TO A STOP SIGN TODAY, I WENT TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL TO FIND THE PEDAL LOCKED AT THE TOP OF THE TRAVEL. AS I PRESSED THE PEDAL, THE ABS STARTED MODULATING LIKE THE TIRES WERE LOCKED UP, BUT THEY WEREN'T AS I WAS ON DRY PAVEMENT AND NOT SLOWING DOWN AT ALL. I FRANTICALLY PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND AFTER SEVERAL DEPRESSIONS (3-5) THE PEDAL UNLOCKED AND TRAVELED NORMALLY ALLOWING ME TO STOP THE VEHICLE. *TR

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. I DO NOT CONSIDER THEIR GUY DRIVING MY JEEP HOME AND GOING ON JOY RIDES WITH IT A TEST. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT I CAN DO NOW. THANKS JAMES. K WARREN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT WENT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE REPAIR PERFORMED FOR RECALL # 06V493000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTI-LOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE ).

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. AFTER READING ABOUT THE "WRANGLER STALLING PROBLEM", I WANTED TO PUT THIS ON THE RECORD, TO PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT AROUND 70 MPH AND THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN JERKED FORWARD AND SLOWED WAY DOWN. ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS WENT ON, THE CAR WENT DEAD FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THEN STARTED GOING AGAIN LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AGAIN, AND IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THIS JEEP. THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN BRAKE PROBLEMS TWICE... ONE OF WHICH CAUSED A CRASH. THE QUESTION ASKING "OEM" BELOW... I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2007 WRANGLER JK FROM HERTERICH FOOD/JEEP IN DOVER , DE . IT WAS BRAND NEW, AND A FEW DAYS AFTER BUYING IT, IT HAD RAINED AND MY SOFT TOP LEAKED FROM THE FORWARD LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES OF THE SOFT TOP RIGHT AT THE CORNERS OF WHERE IT MEETS THE WINDSHIELD. I'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED TWICE AND STILL THE SAME RESULT. IT ALWAYS LEAKS REGARDLESS OF WHAT RAIN CONDITION. NOTE THIS WAS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT I BOUGHT. AND IF IT CONTINUES IT IM AFRAID IT WILL CAUSE WATER DAMAGE THAT IS IRREVERSIBLE TO MY INTERIOR. *TR

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. (HTTP://WWW.JK-FORUM.COM). *TR

PROBLEM WITH 2007 JEEP WRANGLER BEEN TO GARAGE 3 TIMES BEFORE A RECALL LETTER WAS ISSUED THEN RETURN BACK TO DEALERSHIP SAME DAY OF THE RECALL AND STILL NOT FIXED AFTER 3 ATTEMPTS, WAITING TO SEE IF IT IS FIXED AFTER THIS ATTEMPT. *JB
