The engine sputters then stalls, when you restart the engine it revs out of control 7000rpm+. The only way to avoid hitting something is to clutch and shut the key off. on restarting the engine it revs up to 7000 rpm again. i tried to restart the Jeep 4 or 5 times and out of control reving each start up. Had the vehicel towed to the dealer and when they tried to start it hours later it was ok again. This problem has happened on two separate times and seems to be an intermittent problem. If I was on the highway there would have been an accident for sure. Has anyone out there had this problem? Step one try replacing the throttle assembly 700$
Update from Jul 30, 2016: After doing some research (and there is lots of material) I believe the problem lies in the TIPM totaly integrated power module. The information stated there was a recall in 2007. I asked the dealer if there was a recall / no answer. If I replace the modual as well it will be over $2000 with no sure fix. If anyone out there has a suggestion I would appreciate the help. Rob
2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara will be driving down the road and all of a sudden the wipers will go off by themselves. Shortly after, the engine will stall. Will happen at any given time/speed. Can't accelerate or steer (wheels lock up too) so it is very dangerous. Had TIPM reprogrammed in 2010 with the recall, and then again on October 16th, 2015. After driving home from the TIPM being "fixed" again, wipers came on, and engine stalled. This is a serious issue and needs to be addressed by Chrysler. And also paid for by them.
There is a few things that happens ,loss of power in turn is one ,all dash lights come on while driving at speed like engine shuts down ,then comes back. Gas shoots out of filler while getting gas . Engine Has ticking like valve or manifold leak mostly when you first drive . Low power when you take off and hills. I have 6 speed manual. Trans. Steering wheel u joint is not smooth, breaks seem to almost go to floor if u hold them at a light . Steering pump noise . A click or ping some whear in drive train when you take off. Body is great . Paint great . Heat and AC great .
2007 4 DOOR RUBICON, WHILE DRIVING AT ROAD SPEED, THIS VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILS . THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER. I CALLED CHRYSLER TWICE, THEY COULDN'T CARE LESS. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE . NO WONDER CHRY IS NOT FORD, MY NEXT PURCHASE.
