Seven problems related to ignition module have been reported for the 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Totally integrated power module (tipm) failure causing every electrical system to malfunction - usually at the same time. Alarm/horn, wipers/washer, radio, gauges, etc), to which removing the key from the ignition has no effect. Only solution is to remove battery connection ( and apologize to those around you in traffic for the inconvenient show the vehicle just put on). Manufacturer recall of tipms only covered certain manufacture dates, despite the problem not being limited to just that one group of vehicles. Repair (replacement of tipm) is > $1000.
2007 Jeep Wrangler would no start after being parked for 2 days, waited 10 minutes and it started. Same day I was driving 65 mph and it stalled/died completely with all dash light coming on. Jeep was hauled by a wrecker to dealership for repair, the wrecker driver drove the Jeep onto the wrecker and off the wrecker. The dealership could not duplicate the problem, they replaced the ignition switch. Picked up on 7/23, vehicle was parked for a wee, 8/1-8/3, it started up and drove fine. On 8/4 parked and it wouldn't start again. Waited 1 hour and it started, drove to dealership again. They couldn't duplicate the problem, so far it sits for 15 minutes after stalling, it will start. The dealership reprogrammed abs module and steering angle sensor road test, no faults and all sensors working properly. Did reprogram tipm, could not duplicate stalling. Left dealership on 8/6/09, drove 2 days no problems. 8/8 stalled while driving 65 mph, all dash lights came on and was still able to roll windows down. Started after 5 minutes, parked for 5 hours, car started but after going 20 yds. The a/c cut off, back on and continued to do this for 30 minutes. A/c started running ok and then the Jeep stalled again traveling 50 mph, no where to get off highway, parked in the road on a hill and was almost hit from behind. Sheriff deputy pulled up, car started 15 minutes later and sheriff followed me home. The dealership said they don't know what to do and want me to leave it with them until they can duplicate while their. I'm afraid to drive it for fear of being rearended by another vehicle. When it stalls you can only travel a few yards and it's hard to get off the road to safety. I have read about other 2007 Jeeps doing this and I truly understand the other drivers fear for their life. Please investigate as soon as possible.
While traveling at night down a county road at approximately 60 mph the headlights went off for almost a second, the dash lights lit up like a christmas tree, the engine bogged and all accessories went off, and then came back on as if the ignition had just been turned on. The engine's power returned, and it continued as if nothing happened. The brake light stayed illuminated for 3-5 minutes after. Prior to this, there was a similar incident, though it was in the daylight and I was unable to see the dash lights light up or the headlights come on, however the engine bogged and the bas light lit up. The problem is intermittent and I have not yet had an opportunity to take the vehicle to the dealership yet.
The Jeep jk 2007 stalls at highway sppeds. I have read about it on a website. It has occurred to me only onceit happened after 2 hours of 65 mph driving. The Jeep slowly seemed to lose power then suddenly shut off and back on again. It has not happened since.
The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler 4x4. While driving at 65 mph the steering locked, instrument panel dimmed, and the vehicle shut off. The vehicle restarted automatically approximately four seconds later. The vehicle was taken to a shop and no failures were found. This morning, while driving 65 mph the failure's recurred. The contact stated that the radio shut off without warning and the vehicle automatically restarted four to five seconds later. The contact never turned the key in the ignition, changed lanes, or changed gears when the vehicle restarted.

I have an 07 Wrangler unlimited jk. The vehicle stalled while I was driving it. Luckily I was only going about 20mph thru a parking lot when incident occurred. . I have also lost all of power to dash while windows were being rolled up. I took it to the dealer and they repaired problem w/ a computer flash.
