While parked the car will rotate between not cranking to starting but shutting completely off. In addition to these issues while driving 40 mph the vehicle will sometimes stall and engine will start to lose power. I took the vehicle into cutter Dodge in honolulu for repair on 8/25. They diagnosed the problem as a ignition switch recall but they didn't have the part to fix it at this time. In addition, stated that the wireless control module(wcm) had failed and needed to be replaced. While the car was there they also performed a 28 point inspection and didn't find any additional concerns. Nine days later the wcm part come in from canada and was replaced. My vehicle was returned to me on 9/2. The car ran as intended at times for 9 days and on 9/12 the no crank, no start issue returned. As of the time of this formal complaint the vehicle will not start. In a closing, the issues the car was experiencing prior to taking it to the dealership for repair or exactly the same issues that I'm experiencing today. I will have the Jeep towed back to the dealership first thing Sunday morning.

I read about the recall on the 2007 wrangler and nitros. It sounded like the same problem. I had loss of engine power several times, similar to running out of gasoline. Most times it would not stall, but if at slow speeds or at a stop the engine would completely quit. One turn of the key would start it up again. Now that I saw similar symptoms being recalled for another Jeep I wanted to file a formal notice of the problem before I or another person ended up stalling at a traffic light and getting hurt. Please note that the incident date below is when I first had a full stall.
