“The 2007 Jeep wrangler 4 door has seemed to have several complaints regarding violent shaking. This has happened to me several times where the vehicle shakes so violently it feels like you are having a tire blown out. It almost throws you off the road. I was almost in an accident on the highway. I am nervous and do not think this vehicle is safe.”
NHTSA complaint #10547593, filed 2013-10, 65,585 miles“The throttle control light came on at 40 MPH and then started flashing and I had no throttle and had to drive home on idle. This was a used car on the way home from purchase. The Jeep dealer had it for three days and says the garage computer corrected the problem, but it still happens about one a month, I have to pull over, shut the key off and restart for it to work.”

I only have under 9,000 miles. Now that I live in california, and I have to drive in highways, I feel very uncomfortable driving speeds over 50 miles per hour.”

Immediately headed for the shoulder as I lost power steering and power braking although the electronic steering/braking system was alerted during my swerve towards the shoulder. The vehicle was very unresponsive. Upon reaching the shoulder the vehicle stalled. Turned off the vehicle, and then restarted it and cautiously returned home. …”
NHTSA complaint #10193115, filed 2007-06, 800 miles“Since the day I drove the 2007 4-door Jeep wrangler sahara off the dealer's lot the electronic throttle control light kept coming on. I had to pull over every time the light came on and restart the car. I normally could not drive more than 5 miles until I have to pull over to restart the car.

The stalling seemed to have something to do with the electronic throttle control system. …”
