| Description of the problem | 2007 jeep wrangler jk: 2 door:model x:manual transmission: purchased on 3/29/07: at 2,833 miles, my vehicle stalled on interstate 10 at 60 mph. The vehicle stalled disabling all power to the controls for 3 seconds during morning rush hour traffic. The vehicle then restarted on its own and i continued on my way, thinking it was simply a minor malfunction. It recurred at 5,180 miles while i was in neutral gear, the vehicle stalled and 2 seconds later it restarted on its own. After this experience, i went to research this problem online. I found that this problem is now called "the stall bug" and it is happening to hundreds of 2007 jeep jk wrangler owners on both manual and automatic transmissions. I found that many of the owners who have reported this problem have taken their vehicles to their jeep dealership and the service department ends up sending them back without the problem being fixed. This is unacceptable and someone is going to get hurt. As soon as i found out that there was this grossly overlooked problem, i took my vehicle immediately to the dealership to be fixed (6/30/07). My vehicle is currently at the dealership being looked at by the service department, but from the research that i have done there is no solution to the problem yet and the dealership will most likely send me home with a ticking time bomb of a vehicle as it is expected that the stall will happen again at around 9,000 miles.
