Seven problems related to engine belts and pulleys have been reported for the 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While coming off the highway I noticed my engine make a 'clicking' noise, didn't soud too serious, but checked oil level and seemed to have been barely any oil in it. It was around scheduled oil change date, however took to a mechanic and he thought and assumed was the idler pulley and changed it. Drove it same night and was still making same noise. Took it back and he just spoke with a 'Chrysler service personnel' and stated "Chrysler had a bad engine casting for molding the engines and at high temperatures the engine itself will warp. " so not sure if this is true, and I do not have the money to take to a dealership and confirm.
While driving my Jeep 07 Wrangler the engine stalled at approximately 35 mph while driving. The radio went dead and the steering became very stiff for 2 seconds. The car then restarted by itself while still moving down the road. The dashboard lit up just as it does when I turn the car on and the seat belt chime sounded 5 times just like it does upon startup. Within 15 minutes the whole process occurred a second time with the same result. The car briefly stalled then restarted while driving down a highway. I have previously been in touch with a dealership and they told me that my VIN was not included in the recall for stalling engines but apparently they were wrong because this happened to me two times on one trip. I am going to stop by a different dealership and ask them to perform the tipm reset for me but want to alert others that their vehicle may be affected even though not listed in the recall notice.
2007 Jeep Wrangler problems with engine stalling. Consumer states that in order to restart the vehicle it must be in neutral before turning the ignition switch. Consumer states she would like the vehicle replaced. The seat belt retractor on the drivers side failed within weeks of owning the vehicle, there was a constant rattling noise coming from the pillar area, the drivers door did not close properly. The technician used a mallet or hammer to align the door striker. The consumer had to slam the door in order for it to close properly, even though there was no certainty the door was really closed. There was a possibility that the striker on the door could collapse while the vehicle was in motion causing the door to open. The vehicle also made a rattling noise while accelerating.
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.
While driving on highway the Jeep Wrangler sahara 2007 model started to stall and hesitate, and dashboard lights flickered; engine light and seatbelt light came on; I pressed on the accelerator and the car kicked into gear and kept going.
2007 Jeep Wrangler sahara stalled unexpectedly on two occasions while driving at low speed. The first time in early March 2007 it was pouring rain and I went through a big puddle which sent water under the vehicle. The car cut off and all the dash light lit up, and the seat belt went off. The car started back up in about 2 seconds by itself. I have assumed the water shorted out for a few seconds and thought nothing else of it. The second time it happened was on June 10, 2007. We were slowing down at stop light and it just cut out. The dash lights came on , the anti-skid light and another red light) I though the car behind us rear ended us because there was a little jerk , rear tires locked. We had to restart to car. It started right up and we continued on. I haven't been to the dealer yet. I was researching the problem on the internet and saw there had been 53 reports of the same thing happening so I figured I should report it also.
While driving on the hwy at around 75-80 mph, the Jeep shut off, forcing both myself and passenger to fly towards the windshield. Â â luckily we had on our seat belts, otherwise I would have hit the steering wheel and probably wrecked, there were cars on both sides of us, very scary!!!. Â â after three or four seconds the Jeep came back on and ran great until the next time this happened, around 60 on hwy. Â â all electrical and engine turns off with no brakes, steering and panel lights. Â â this has happen three times and the dealership cannot duplicate the problem, so it goes unfixed. Â â I love the Jeep, but safety first.
