Dash lights flash on, momentary loss of engine power. Dealer could not duplicate or repair problem.
Car loses power while driving. All dash lights go off and then come back on quickly. Chrysler did recall Jeep Wranglers for this problem, but when I asked the service department, they told me mine was not one that was recalled. This has happened several times in the year that I have owned the Jeep, most recently March 11, driving at 35mph.
The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. While driving 30 mph, the stopping distance increased when the brakes were applied. The contact stated that the failure also occurred the following day while driving 40 mph. The road conditions were clear. He further stated that while driving 2 mph, the vehicle veered to the right. The dealer adjusted the tire pressure. In addition, there was a five second delay when he started the vehicle. The contact stated that the air conditioner and radio worked intermittently. The dealer was unable to duplicate any of the failures. The failure mileage was 900 and current mileage was 1,702.
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.
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.
At a stop sign, the engine died. I tried to start it again, but the console remained blank and nothing happened. I had to push it off the road. After trying 5-6 more times, it finally started. There was no warning this would happened; it was very sudden. I'm afraid that this will happen on the highway. It could be very dangerous. The vehicle was completely dead for approx. 5 mins. The electric windows still worked during this time.
While traveling on a divided highway, my vehicle lost all engine power, battery power and then started back up by itself. This has happened numerous times previously and the dealer has not been able to rectify.
2007 Jeep Wrangler unlimited 4 door lost all power while driving on interstate. The radio blacked out, lost all power for a couple of seconds, all dash lights came on, then off. It was like transmission slipped into neutral. Very dangerous!!!!!!.
Driving at highway speed, radio suddenly went off, all of the dashboard warning lights lit up, and I lost all power to the car. This lasted long enough for me to realize there was a problem and shift the automatic trans. Into neutral. The car regained power within a few seconds, I shifted back into drive, and went less than a mile to the dealer. They put it directly on the analyzer, no fault was detected. It was a clear day and my headlights were on.
The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-dr 4x4. While driving approximately 15 mph, the contact smelled a strong electrical burning odor and noticed smoke emitting from the steering wheel. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road and the contact inspected under the hood where there were large flames found. The vehicle was destroyed. The fire department extinguished the fire and informed the contact that the fire originated within the engine compartment. The vehicle was towed to a savage facility. The manufacturer was notified of the malfunction. The failure mileage and VIN were unavailable.
I was driving my 2007 Jeep Wrangler at about 30mph on a busy, 4 lane street when all of a sudden the gas pedal became unresponsive, all of the dashboard indicator lights illuminated and the Jeep went dead. I rolled to a stop (while being honked at by the people behind me), shifted to park, waited a couple of minutes and then restarted the Jeep. At that point, the vehicle seemed normal again. I have an appointment with my dealer for this issue, which I know has been experienced by many other 2007 Jeep Wrangler owners.
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.
Pulling out of parking spot Jeep started to shudder, then the engine quit and all interior lights came on. After a few seconds, the engine restarted and resumed operating normally. Ak.
2007 Jeep Wrangler "reboots" itself while driving. While driving the vehicle, the engine and all electrical items fail and stay off for about 5 seconds. Then everything comes back on as if nothing ever happened. The first failure occurred on April 5, 2007, and the second failure occurred on may 9, 2007. The vehicle rebooted itself five times while driving home from work on March 5, 2008.
While driving, the engine cut out and all dash lights came on as if the key was turned off and then back on as to start the motor all power was lost and the whole Jeep bucked. After a short outage, electrical power will be restored and the engine will restart. Was very scared because when it happened you have no control.
