Five problems related to cruise control have been reported for the 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My Jeep Wrangler has had the death wobble, issues with the safety belts not retracting properly [broke my hand] had stalling and suspension problems, I currently have a chip on the bottom underside of the winshield. , when I had the death wobble the dealer told me I had to much weight on the front end from my bumper and winch,[I replaced the stabilizer wobble seems to have went away] they couldn't find a problem with the wobble or seat belts. It was my imagination, what I also had and is documented in the dealer files my accelerator stuck , I was fortunate some one else was driving so I could see his feet and the floor mats nothing was stuck when he stomped on the gas pedal it was just like the cruise control disengaged , my Jeep doesn't have cruise control. The brakes scare me at times, feel like their not there from time to time, I tell who ever drives it not to trust the brakes, this is my last new Chrysler, my hand still hurts. Maybe our goverment should force a recall like they did to Toyota to date my Jeep has only 22. 000 miles on the odometer . Good luck all.
I have a 2007 Jeep sahara jk four door. Traveling westbound on the 10 freeway in pamona, CA in the car pool lane with cruise control on going about 70mph. I had been traveling this way for about 20 minutes going straight ahead. The engine appeared to stall. The speedometer went to zero even though I wascoasting. The rpm read about 800. I keep pumping the gas pedal, every once in a while I would get a spurt of speed but had an overall reduction of speed. I had to navigate over double yellow lines, between semi's to get to the shoulder. After stopping I turned the key off then on again. It started right up and I continued the rest of the 150 miles. The dash displayed two icons. One was the esp symbol and the other was a red lighting bolt in between two vertical red lines. I called the dealer, shaver Jeep, in san bernardino. The service guy said this wasn't uncommon. He hypothesize the esp system sensed a need to turn on causing the computer to take control. I assured him I was going straight and had not made any turns or hit any bumps. It happened out of the blue. If this was the reason, the computer made a false interpretation and it should have turned control back to the driver after the correction was made instead of losing speed on a busy freeway.
While the vehicle is in cruise control mode the vehicle will shut down, accelerate, or shut down and restart and accelerate quickly.
While driving on the highway at 70 mph (cruise control enabled) the car started surging as if someone were pumping the gas pedal. It did this for approximately 10 seconds then the engine died. I was in traffic and it took a few seconds to figure out what had happened. I was lucky to have a manual transmission because the second I pressed on the clutch I lost all power steering and power brake function. I was in the middle of traffic and cars started passing me on either side. This could have easily led to an accident. I will be taking it in to the dealer ASAP.
I was on the freeway with my cruise control on when my vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly slowed down. I moved my foot to the accelerator and found that the vehicle had substantially less power than normal. When the vehicle slowed, the electronic throttle warning light began to flash and the stability control light came on. After pulling off the road and cycling the ignition, the vehicle returned to normal. I brought it to the dealer and they could find nothing wrong. I searched Jeepforum. Com and found 3 other instances of the electronic throttle having issues.
