This should stop the service advisors from looking at us like we have three eyes when reporting our experiences.
I am scheduled for this Flash on Friday at 9:30 PDT. So, we shall see how and if it works. I had a stall at 1656 miles, now have 1958. I know fixing software glitches is like sweeping up b-b’s, might fix the problem then create others. My JK was built Nov 06.
so i’m not crazy and my nieghbour didn’t put sand in my tank?! i’ve noticed mine doing this!… it has done it a few times… stall, but only for a split second and remain running, but all my dash lights would light up and remain on for about 3 seconds… I thought I was seeing things or losing my mind…
As rich said, hopefully it does not create other problems. Mine was built in April 2007 so it isnt in this, but hopefully it is a permanant fix for those that are affected by this.
members make the difference!!! networking. recall covers models through 1-22-07… got to the dealer on 7-3-07 and found that my build date was 1-23-07. my dealer reflashed the TIPM under warranty as a safety issue for me. Awesome… but the “rookie” maintenance guy didnt read the little part about the swaybar light…. and i didnt check up on em.
i had the “stall” happen twice on my rig that is rarely driven. if it never happens again, i will be THRILLED!
it’s sites like this that helps make your ownership experience better and keep you informed.
I have to take my JK in on Friday to have a new horn switch put in because my horn was freaking out and honking continuously while I was driving down the road and not even touching the horn, it even did it just sitting in my drive way with no one in the car! Anyway, what should I tell them I need done when I take it in then about the reprogramming? I bought mine back in March and I’m not sure what the build date is, how do I find that out?
I had this happen twice within 2 months. Took mine into the dealership and got the same reaction from the service department…like I am crazy. Today I received a notice in the mail about this recall and I am taking mine in tomorrow. Also, I am wondering if anyone is having a problem with the air conditioning. When the a/c is turned on for the first time for the day, it makes a grinding noise. It happens daily when the a/c is used, but just the first time it is turned on. I have taken the jeep in for this too and they told me all of them make that noise. Of course, I know something is wrong with that too. Just wondering if anyone else is having this same problem. Thanks.
well this whole thin with the stalling has almost gotten me killed. i was driving on the high way about to hit a rough turn and my whole car shuts off and sterring wheel locks up, mind you i’m doorless and topless and going 70mph but thank god my dad was next to me and used him truck to push my car over to the side of the highway so i can use the break. i’m going to call DC and ask if they will pay for the damages bc they are already said it was the whole computer thing which is getting fixed tomarrow. if they dont pony up the money my dad wants to start looking for some lawyers….thanks DC love the jeep but i lie breathing better
I too thought I was imagining things when I noticed that occasionally while I was driving and shifting gears that the engine would feel as if it was “cutting out” a bit.. then it would kick in after few seconds. When I got the recall notice, I was a little bit more at ease to know that this was most likely the issue. I have had mine reprogrammed and it hasn’t done it since.. but I’m keeping my fingers crossed it doesn’t happen again in the future. I love my Wrangler Sahara, but bought it NEW so I wouldn’t have to worry about fixing things right away.
Thanks
I also reported the stalling problem to the dealer and got the “yeah right” look. So far they have replaced the entire clutch, hood light, door bolts (missing), manifold — and now the power recall. Altho I really like the new 4 dr. Jeep, I have to say I have absolutely zero confidence in this lasting until the warranty is up. And since the clutch, manifold, etc. were replaced I can race with an old VW bug over the Rockies — and I lose. No power anymore and it sounds like a diesel and I can feel grinding on the floor beneath the clutch when it is fully depressed. And the whole UConnect fiasco. Chrysler should recall all these junkers and give new.
I have not had the stalls, yet. But the tranny seem slow to engage even on hills. Am I just imagining it? I am not hauling anything and I am going above 55mph. I am having issues with turning signals, they stay on even after I turn and are very sensitive. If I manually turn them off, like when I change lanes they from time to time stay on, or go to the opposite signal. I have not gone to the dealer yet, but I have an oil change free, so I may have them check it out.

I am positive this happened to me the other day while driving. The engine stalled and all the dash lights came on. How do I find out when my Jeep was built? That way I can get it taken care of, if need be.
The comment from Sherry re: “grinding noise” when a/c turned on for the first time began on my 2007 Wrangler X since the G25 Reprogram TIPM recall procedure was performed. Only 2222 miles on vehicle, but it did not happen before.
OK so I took my 2007 wrangler X in for this recall and one other that jsut needed reprogramming, well 2 hours later they came and got me while doing this a new problem occurred they had NEVER seen, so the had to call STAR? in MI well 5 days later they still havent heard from “star” so now I have a jeep that has the ABS light blinking - no worries right, wron it beeps every time it blinks only way to stop it until they figure it out is TURN UP THE RADIO.
PS I do still love my Jeep
Nearly bad day. I had an engine stall on the beach in the Outer Banks, NC. I was driving on the sand and in the water (not deep, just in the 2-4″ range) when the jeep stalled. Luckily the tide was going out. I had my snatch strap handy and my buddy pulled me out with ease, but not before my floor boards were full of water from a couple of breakers.

I had mine in 2 weeks ago and they forgot that something else needed to be done on Rubicons. I could not get my swap bar light to shut off for anything. Had to go back and have the job completed.
Now I get home today and find Saftey Recall G40 in the mail box reprogramming the Brake Control Module. WHAT NEXT?
