| Description of the problem | 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. This can also be verified via the following internet forum thread: "http://www. Jk-forum. Com/showthread. Php? T=2366" this forum includes quite a few owners that have had this issue including many that; 1) have had the recall procedure performed already; 2) have a vehicle outside of the specified build date; or 3) actually own a 2008 model year jeep wrangler. It seems the recall procedure or "fix" does not actually correct this issue and that the recall should be expanded to include later build dates. Luckily i was driving in a slower, low traffic, less hazardous situation during my first incident but now i am concerned that if this occurs again during faster, highway use or in a busy intersection and with family members/passengers the outcome could be disastrous. My vehicle is never abused and well maintained. Please feel free to contact me if further details are required. |
