Six problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The brakes lock and keep sliding while going uphill or under other conditions. I have been in over two accidents within tjhe past three months and I never had an accident before.
I had my vehicle electrical and brakes cut out 3 times (almost in an accident twice). I spoke to a dealership near me 3 times and one time they tried to replicate it. They said they did not know what caused it. Through searching on this site, I found that it was a common problem and a recall (g25-reprogram tipm-engine stall) to fix it. The dealership played dumb to the issue until proof was shown, but still would not fix it because my VIN# did not match recall specific list. Chrysler also would not ok them to fix it (ref#16730876) because I did not have the right VIN#, eventhough it is the right model, year, symptoms, etc. Chrysler did not care that it was a safety issue and that it could be solved. I was told to try to replicate it for the dealership. Concerned for safety, I went back to the dealership where I bought it. They instantly knew about the issue described and reprogrammed the tipm with no charge (they obviously understood the danger). Chrysler needs to expand their recall list and change its policy on such a dangerous situation. Luckily there was some humanity still around at the place where I bought it.
The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. While driving 35 mph, the abs locked up. The dealer did not know how to repair the vehicle under NHTSA campaign id number 06v493000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:control unit/module ). She stated that she will locate another dealer and notify the manufacturer. The current mileage was 3,000 and failure mileage was 1,000.
The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the vehicle fails to accelerate and shuts off after coming to a complete stop. The ignition switch must be turned off in order to restart the engine. He stated that the vehicle stalled five times within the last ten days. The dealer has reprogrammed the computer at least twice. Also, when making a right turn, the anti-skid control activates and the brakes are applied. The anti-skid control light illuminates and then dims after the turn is made. The dealers verified with a road test that the anti-skid does activate at approximately 25-35 mph, but no repairs have been made. The contact was unsure of the component names regarding the reprogramming and anti-skid failures. The current mileage was 4,200 and failure mileage was 3,300.
When coasting to a stop, going uphill on a highway, the brake pedal locks-up when you put your foot on the brake. After a few seconds, it releases and brakes normally. This has happened 3 times at the same intersection (may 2007, August 2007, sept. 2007). All three times resulted in near-miss accidents. The vehicle was in for repair for this problem, but the dealer could not replicate it. Even though he could not replicate the problem, the service manager advised us to get rid of the car because it was an obvious safety issue. On 9/14, while the car was still at the dealer, Chrysler announced a recall for this incident and advised customers that had experienced this problem to take the car to the dealer immediately. Ours has now been there for 6 weeks, with no end in sight. We have also had the engine stall when traveling on a twisty road near our residence. This has happened 1 time. This problem has occurred in the same model as ours, but was believed to have been addressed before ours was built. However, we still have the problem and no solution from Chrysler.
The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler Jeep Wrangler. While driving 40mph down a steep hill, the engine shut off. The vehicle lost the power steering and brakes. The fuel gage displayed empty; however, the vehicle had a 1/2 a tank of gas. The dealer has been unable to diagnose the failure. The contact conducted a test four times and each time after 4 minutes the engine stalled, began to coast and the engine shut off. The mechanic was in the vehicle on one of those occasions. The current and failure mileage were 900. There were no injuries.
