“I hit a bump and my Jeep started shaking like a dog that is all wet. The only way to stop it was to slow down almost to a complete stop. Then it is fine for a while. This is not safe at all. Called the dealership and they said that there was a recall on this problem, but my Jeep was not one of them, so I will have to pay for this out of my own pocket. Reading so other post I am not the only one that has this problem. Has anybody figured out what will fix this????”

“My 2007 Jeep was in the shop for various repairs, however this one took the cake! I arrived home from work (6 miles away) when I noticed smoke coming out from under the hood. I found it was overheating, no indicator light to warn me, temperature gauge was at normal but the smell of anti-freeze was present. Towed it to the dealer and found the heater hose assembly, to be melted through from the bad design, of having it too close to the engine. Also it appeared to have two slices in the hoses , where the clamps were too close to the bend in the hoses. It cost me over $100.00 to have it fixed.”

“Vehicle loses power to accelerator at random, unpredictable times (could be at a stop sign, could be while traveling on a highway, and does not matter if car is hot or cold). Warning light (lightning bolt) flashes on the dashboard, and accelerator is sluggish to respond or unresponsive altogether. I have nearly been in two accidents while pulling into traffic because cars starts to go, but then loses power and the accelerator takes about 3-4 seconds to recognize I am stepping on it. I have had it into chrysler dealership three times now, and they are unable to diagnose the issue. …”

“Engine stalls while driving at any speed. The computer module has been reprogrammed but the problem still exists. After the engine stalls, many of the dash lights illuminate including, but not limited to, the esp/bas, brake, oil, battery, ignition, engine, airbag lights. The vehicle will start once the computer has reset and the warning lights dim. I've been to two different dealers three separate times since the problem began with no result.”

“The 2007 Jeep wrangler unlimited x, otherwise known as the jk, lost engine power twice while driving 55 MPH, and the electrical and engine shut off for 3-5 seconds and came back on. The electronic throttle for the gas pedal went into the default mode, where it won't go over 45 MPH ,and the traction control shut off at this time also. This happened while driving at 55-60 MPH. Also, the compass shut off also at a different time. Each time I had to pull off the road and restart the Jeep , and every thing worked again.”
