My complaint and warning has to do with our 2007 Jeep Wrangler unlimited,saraha, 3. 8 litre. We had a pre-mature engine failure in our Jeep due to improper engine assembly during manufacture of the engine. The engine failure was due to the pressure relief valve for the engine oil by-pass valve being installed in the wrong order, causing the engines oil being only partially filtered. This non-filtered oil caused the engine to fail due to the dirty oil passing through the engine and causing excessive wear of the engine. Our engine failed at just over 43,000 miles and the failure could be sudden and put anyone that has this engine condition at risk if the vehicle is in motion while the failure occurs. I want to be on record because I do not want anyone to be injured or worse lose there life over something as simple as warning the public of this issue found in our engine, and also to be on record because who knows how many engine were assembled this way which in my mind should be considered poor craftsmanship. Total details, cost and the full extent of damaged can be extended to anyone who needs or wants this information, if requested in writing or email.
My 2007 Jeep Wrangler has had engine stall two times now at 50-60 mph. Causing light failure, engine failure, no brakes or power steering. I have taken it to the dealership two times, after restarting the vehicle. The next time it happens, they said call a tow truck and have it towed to them. This started at approximately 26,000 miles and again at 30,000. Both times nothing was found and the computer programs were current.
I am here to report the stalling problem with my 2007 Jeep Wrangler. I experienced loss of electric power along with engine failure and was unable to start my Jeep for a few seconds while doing highway speeds. (I think I was doing about 60mph at the time). I know there are fellow 07 Wrangler owners who have experienced this as well and we would all like to see this problem resolved before someone gets injured by this malfunction. Thank you for your time. Michael wolfe.
