I had my vehicle electrical and brakes cut out 3 times (almost in an accident twice). I spoke to a dealership near me 3 times and one time they tried to replicate it. They said they did not know what caused it. Through searching on this site, I found that it was a common problem and a recall (g25-reprogram tipm-engine stall) to fix it. The dealership played dumb to the issue until proof was shown, but still would not fix it because my VIN# did not match recall specific list. Chrysler also would not ok them to fix it (ref#16730876) because I did not have the right VIN#, eventhough it is the right model, year, symptoms, etc. Chrysler did not care that it was a safety issue and that it could be solved. I was told to try to replicate it for the dealership. Concerned for safety, I went back to the dealership where I bought it. They instantly knew about the issue described and reprogrammed the tipm with no charge (they obviously understood the danger). Chrysler needs to expand their recall list and change its policy on such a dangerous situation. Luckily there was some humanity still around at the place where I bought it.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. While driving 35 mph, the abs locked up. The dealer did not know how to repair the vehicle under NHTSA campaign id number 06v493000 (service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:control unit/module ). She stated that she will locate another dealer and notify the manufacturer. The current mileage was 3,000 and failure mileage was 1,000.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the vehicle fails to accelerate and shuts off after coming to a complete stop. The ignition switch must be turned off in order to restart the engine. He stated that the vehicle stalled five times within the last ten days. The dealer has reprogrammed the computer at least twice. Also, when making a right turn, the anti-skid control activates and the brakes are applied. The anti-skid control light illuminates and then dims after the turn is made. The dealers verified with a road test that the anti-skid does activate at approximately 25-35 mph, but no repairs have been made. The contact was unsure of the component names regarding the reprogramming and anti-skid failures. The current mileage was 4,200 and failure mileage was 3,300.

When coasting to a stop, going uphill on a highway, the brake pedal locks-up when you put your foot on the brake. After a few seconds, it releases and brakes normally. This has happened 3 times at the same intersection (may 2007, August 2007, sept. 2007). All three times resulted in near-miss accidents. The vehicle was in for repair for this problem, but the dealer could not replicate it. Even though he could not replicate the problem, the service manager advised us to get rid of the car because it was an obvious safety issue. On 9/14, while the car was still at the dealer, Chrysler announced a recall for this incident and advised customers that had experienced this problem to take the car to the dealer immediately. Ours has now been there for 6 weeks, with no end in sight. We have also had the engine stall when traveling on a twisty road near our residence. This has happened 1 time. This problem has occurred in the same model as ours, but was believed to have been addressed before ours was built. However, we still have the problem and no solution from Chrysler.

2004 Jeep Wrangler sport goes into a violent shake when driving approximately 55 mph. I've read about the death wobble on more than one web site or blog. I took it to the dealer, and they said it was the steering stablizer , but I believed this only mask, the real problem. I spoke to a local 4x4 shop and they said Jeep made the lower contol arm too short and this pushed the front end down and the angles were off. Also, said the aftermaket replacements were approx 3/4" longer than the oem. My Jeep was stock, not lifted. This problem has caused the tires to cup, brakes, and steering stabilizer to wear out earlier than normal. It was only a matter of time before someone got killed or injured.

The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler Jeep Wrangler. While driving 40mph down a steep hill, the engine shut off. The vehicle lost the power steering and brakes. The fuel gage displayed empty; however, the vehicle had a 1/2 a tank of gas. The dealer has been unable to diagnose the failure. The contact conducted a test four times and each time after 4 minutes the engine stalled, began to coast and the engine shut off. The mechanic was in the vehicle on one of those occasions. The current and failure mileage were 900. There were no injuries.

I was approaching a red light and approximately 3 car lengths away from the vehicle already stopped at the light I began braking and heard a noise under the floor board and while pushing the brake pedal all the way down and the braking system did not slow or stop the vehicle at all. I lifted the brake pedal from the floor and reapplied it and the vehicle did not slow down or stop until it ran into the back of the other vehicle. Upon impact the vehicle began to idle up really high as if it were trying to drive itself. I took my foot off the break pedal and after I placed the vehicle in park and pulled the emergency break the vehicle stopped idling up high.

Front brake vibrate violently,and have been changed 4 times within the 1. 5 yrs I have owned the truck. My drivers seat frame is cracked (the metal frame) I use a pillow to keep it streight because it leans to thee left due to the weld crack in the frame. I have gotten no where with 2 different dealerships and shelled out well over 2. 000 dollars on rotors and brakes. The rear brakes hardlry work also I can pull I=the emergency brake and the truck will not even slow down the fronts do all the work and it has been in for brake repairs by several different shops. There must be a recall because thie is a severe danger and is going to really cause a problem or worse deaths.

Hen driving on wet and slipery surfaces vehicle will not stop. Vehicle will slide, and front wheels will lock up while rear wheels will be still be spinning in circles. Dealership is aware of problem.

While going in reverse rear brakes din't lock up. Dealer said brakes were out of adjustment. Brand new hubs & brake shoes, and it changed nothing.

Rear brakes extremely weak/ non existant in 2wd mode. Notice the problem most when backing down hill in 2wd and brakes applied - vehicle will slide alot even at very low speeds. In 4wd the stopping distance is fine. This vehicle has abs and we tried disabling it (at the dealers - a dealer tech pulled relay) and problem still there. I jacked up rear of car & in drive at idle speed the rear tires would not stop even with full brakes applied. The parking brake works fine & must be used in conjunction with brake pedal to stop when backing down a hill, otherwise vehicle must be in 4wd for brakes to work properly. Has been in shop twice, they replaced proporting valve on last trip but this did not help. The first time they fried my onboard computer & had the Jeep in the shop for a month. This has done it since day one. The dealer keeps saying nothing is wrong.

Emergency braking from 60-62 mph on wet pavement resulted in rear of vehicle to begin sliding around to the left. The four sheel abs system had previously been checked following a tire lock-up during emergency braking on dry pavement. Dealer performed drb test and check for codes, none found and abs operating at this time. Dealer agreed that abs equipped vehicle shouldn't respond in this fashion. Owner requested follow-up by Chrysler regional representative.

While driving speedometer jumps up and down from 20 to 80 mph. Speedometer harness was replaced 4 times. Also, left front brakes locked up and had to be replaced. The consumer belives that this will be an ongoing problem.

Experienced wheel lock-up during a panic stop from 60 mph on dry pavement. Dealer tested abs system with drbiii. No problems found. Infomed consumer that drum brakes will perform differently than front abs brakes. Rear wheels will lock and unlock when abs is activated. With rear wheel drive and short wheel base, vehicle will feel as though it is skidding when it is not. This is a normal condition of this vehicle, no fix attempted.

I have e-mailed you several times and no answer. Front brakes on my Jeep lock up on slick road and you have no control, almost wrecked several times. Anti lock brakes do not work on front. Vehicle has anti-lock brakes on all four wheels. I cannot get any satisfaction from company. Servioce manager drove it and almost wrecked. Another mechanic drove it and said the only way that you could stop it on slick road was 4-wheel. I paid $23,900. 00 for it and should be able to drive it on sllick roads.

I called Chrysler this a. M. And the girl hung up on me she said that I would have to get someone else to help me. I have had my 1997 Jeep Wrangler, sahara to garage I dont know how many times since it was new. It has anti-lock brakes on all 4-wheels and on slick roads the front wheels lock up and you cannot steer it then. In snow, gravel, grass etc. This is a very dangerous problem. I dont think that they should hang up on me as I own Dodge 1999 truck and cherokee limited all bought new.

Stopped behind three or four vehicles at a red traffic light. The consumer foot was firmly on the brake and the car accelerated and hit the vehicle in front. Please give more detail.

Front wheel lock up on slick road-snow-mud. I have had it to garage several times. Very dangerous, one mechanic was about to wreck trying it out. Other mechanic said that you could not stop it on slick road except when it was in 4-wheel. Front wheels lock and you can steer. Chry. Finaly sent rep. In this week but he drove it in level dry field, he said that nothing was wrong with it. I dont drive it in snowy weather, will Chrysler reimburse me or pay for damages if I shouild wreck?.

Front brakes only stop the vehicle, back brakes do not engage. On ice, the vehicle does not stop because the auto trans keeps the rear wheels turning whle the front slides. I have attempted to have this problem corrected several times.

While driving in the rain and approaching a stop light or sign rear brakes locked up, causing vehicle to change lanes. Contacted dealer.
