| Description of the problem | Ref: wrangler stalling problem (pe07027). Jeep wrangler 2dr 4wd 2007 auto trans. Vehicle appears to have a transient electronics fault in hot weather. When the fault occurs, all the warning lights on the dashboard flash for about a second (similar to at engine start). On the first occurrence, there was a brief loss of engine power and the brakes may have applied momentarily, as if the stability control system had activated. All dashboard lights flashed as if at startup. Cd player stopped. This was at 25mph on a flat residential street, about 5 minutes after the vehicle had been started after soaking in hot sun on a 90f+ day. The vehicle returned to normal operation within one second. Service advisor at dealership (boardwalk auto, redwood city, ca) advised me to call back if it happened again. The second occurrence was climbing a moderate hill in heavy traffic (california rt 92 between i-280 and skyline blvd, a well known heavily traveled hill). The engine rpms suddenly increased from about 1,500 to about 3,000 rpm as the transmission downshifted unexpectedly. All dashboard lights flashed on, then reset to normal. Again, this happened on an unusually hot day after the vehicle had spent most of the day parked in sunlight. Service advisor at dealership (boardwalk auto, redwood city, ca) advised me to call back if it happened a third time. In all cases, the engine temperature was normal. After reading about the "wrangler stalling problem", i wanted to put this on the record, to provide some additional information. |
