| Description of the problem | The 2007 4 door jeep wrangler died at a light after i had it about one month. Throughout my ownership the starter or ignition , i didn't know which, stuck when trying to start it periodically. The biggest concern was that last weekend while driving on the interstate at about 70 mph the engine got really loud for a minute and then all of the dashboard lights flew on. I believed that the engine had started to stall but then caught. I took vehicle to the dealership, and they couldn't recreate the problem, ran diagnostics, and then searched the jeep database and found nothing. If you investigated the internet there were dozens of people who were having the same problems. Two people ny and minnesota contacted me and said that the problem was the throttle control. One of them stated that his dealership had called the jeep help line and got it fixed. Therefore, i knew that it should be in their database - but it wasn't showing when searched as being done by dealerships. I was scared that one of these times while i was on the interstate the engine was going to die and steering will go out. On the jeep websites, numerous people have actually had to restart their engines while driving.*ak |
