Engine Stall Problems of Jeep Wrangler - part 2

On Feb 5th, I was driving on the freeway at about 65 mph and my car died - dash lights went on, car jerked to a violent slow down and I almost crashed into a semi on my left, the car pulled to the left. All resumed to normal after about 4 seconds. I have filed previous complaint, conf nbr 10188682. This is the 4th incident but what is most shocking is that the first 2 times I brought it to the dealership repaid shop I was told that they couldn't duplicate the error and that they and Chrysler corp didn't have record of any other reports of this problem. On the 2nd visit, I advised the service person that he should look at this web site if he had never heard of this problem since there were numerous complaints. On the 3rd incident, when I got home, there was a recall "safety recall g25-program tipm-engine stalling- so I called the service center, again, advised that car stalled again and that I also received recall and scheduled the service - Aug 2007. After this visit I felt more secure to drive the car because at least Chrysler had acknowledged the problem. The on Feb 5th 2008 as I was driving to work, it happened again. I continued to work and at the end of the day when I went back to the car it wouldn't start, all lights/radio etc came on but the car wouldn't turn over. I had it towed to Jeep. I was told by service person, after the car was inspected that the control module - same item that caused previous problems, had to be replaced. I purchased this vehicle new, so that I would have a dependable and safe vehicle - neither of which it is! I asked the service manager what Chrysler could do for me. He said that from the notes it looked like I only had one occurrence with this issue and that this was the first he heard of this type of problem with Jeep - wow - either he out right lied to me or he is an uninformed manager. Needless to say I am not confident that this issue wont occur again!.

While negotiating a right hand curve on a local town road in my 07 Jeep Wrangler x, 2-dr, the dashboard lit up and the engine stalled for approx. 2 seconds and then restarted itself for no apparent reason. This caused a loss of power steering (I assume) as steering/controlling the vehicle became very difficult. I was traveling about 35 mph with no passengers. This vehicle has a build date of 04/17/07 and was purchased brand new from a Jeep dealer on 07/02/07. The vehicle had 4166 miles on the odometer when this incident occurred. After checking daimlerchrysler safety recall g25, reprogram tipm - engine stalling dated July 2007, I see that although I have the exact symptoms listed, the build date of my vehicle falls outside the date listed in the recall (01-22-07). Obviously this needs to be updated. . Read more...

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.

Electronic control light appeared. Engine stalled while pulling into parking place causing complete loss of all electronics as well as power steering and power brakes. Due to size and weight of vehicle, without power steering and brakes, very narrowly missed hitting another vehicle before vehicle could be stopped. Area was heavily populated with pedestrians. Thankfully none were present directly in my path. Vehicle going to dealer tomorrow however after much internet research it appears Chrysler has not been able to remedy the problem.

On four occasions since purchasing the vehicle, while driving at highway speeds, the engine has stalled and all of the electrical components lost power for about 1. 5 to 2 seconds. Everything then returned to normal operation. When this occurs, all of the dash lights come on as though the ignition key was in the "on" position, as it is just before starting the car, then all returned to normal. This is a frightening experience at highway speeds. Should a driver be in the midst of an emergency maneuver during one of these occurrences, a serious accident can happen. This first happened in December , and the dealer where the vehicle was purchased replaced the ignition switch, but this has happened three additional times, the last being the date listed on this complaint. The service department at the dealership has been notified and the service representative has informed me that he noted all four reported incidents in the computer system.
