Throttle Control Warning Light On problems of the 2007 Jeep Wrangler

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. Whenever the contact was driving various speeds to include approximately 35 mph, the throttle body light had appeared on the dashboard. He also noticed that the vehicle occasional would not accelerate after coming to a stop. The dealer replaced the throttle body; however, the contact is still experiencing the failure. The current and failure mileages were 31820.

While driving at roughly 70 mph on highway throttle felt a little weird then the rpms dropped to zero as the electronic throttle control light on the dash came on. Immediately headed for the shoulder as I lost power steering and power braking although the electronic steering/braking system was alerted during my swerve towards the shoulder. The vehicle was very unresponsive. Upon reaching the shoulder the vehicle stalled. Turned off the vehicle, and then restarted it and cautiously returned home. Consulted the manual and it appeared that such events were expected and considered normal if the electronic throttle control light did not returned upon restarting the vehicle. The vehicle has shown signs of repeating this trouble and during those times I have let off the throttle, down shifted and then shifted up again in hopes that whatever glitch was occurring would be reset. Conditions: late afternoon, f, driving for about 45 minutes manual transmission , stereo was on.

Since the day I drove the 2007 4-door Jeep Wrangler sahara off the dealer's lot the electronic throttle control light kept coming on. I had to pull over every time the light came on and restart the car. I normally could not drive more than 5 miles until I have to pull over to restart the car. After reading about all of the stalling problems people were having I wa sconcerned about my safety and the safety of those riding with me. The stalling seemed to have something to do with the electronic throttle control system. I took vehicle to the dealer once and they did a software upgrade, but could not find any other problems. The light continued to come on. The dealership knew of no problems but after doing a tiny bit of research on the net, I have found that a lot of people were having this problem.

While driving the vehicle stalled while coming to a stop. As it idled to ~600 rpms the engine died. The car was restarted, and the vehical stalled again at the next intersection. The only light that was lit was the throttle control warning light. Preceeding this occurrence, on 6 separate occasions, the throttle control warning light would come on while driving. The only direction in the manual was to turn the vehicle off and then on again. I have seen several complaints about this stall bug associated with the 2007 Jeep Wrangler jk. I could only hope that this did not occur again, and am fortunate it occurred while I was at low speeds.
