Have a few posts on various forums including a few replies to similar issues here but here are the details...

2007 Overland, Hemi bought Jan 2008 with 17K miles, now has 91K miles.

9/5 Changed plugs, serpentine, t-stat (due to leaking coolant) (Me)
30-Oct *first stall* stalled on the way home from work, coasting or minimal throttle through turn took a few tries to start, first time
12-Nov stalled at take off from stop light, took a few tries to start
16-Nov ignition switch changed (Dealer)
4-Dec stalled at slow speed, right after pressing accelerator, warmed up, started right up
7-Dec stalled at slow speed take off from stop light, started right up
6-Dec pcm flashed (Dealer)
10-Dec stalled at idle, already warmed up
11-Dec stalled cruising at 35 up hill, restarted with no key action, warmed up, drove another 30 miles, 1 hour with no issue, half tank, p0884
12-Dec stalled after leaving house at idle at stop light, not fully to temp yet
14-Dec stalled at idle coasting to parking spot at royal farms
15-Dec disconnected evap purge solenoid (me in an attempt to rule out EVAP)
23-Dec stalled at idle at stop light, 534 miles since last stall
24-Dec 3/4 tank fill up
24-Dec stalled coasting at 45 on highway while in tow/haul, neutral, key off then start
24-Dec stalled again at speed with accelerator pressed, 30mph, kicked back on
27-Dec installed new evap cannister (Me)
3-Jan stalled taking off from stop, started right up, codes P0688 and P0884, had driven 30 miles on highway to work, stalled just before parking, 260 miles since last stall and installing evap canniser
3-Jan stalled at speed under power, engine kicked back on, 3 miles after last stall
3-Jan Check gauges light came on, engine ran cold, gauge did not go above C, cooling fan reved high, parked, turned off and back on, gauges back to normal, started fine, checked oil, was low, added a quart
3-Jan stalled at 50MPH, with minimal accelerator pressure down hill, kicked back on, 25 miles after last stall
3-Jan stalled at stop light, started right back up, 18 miles after last stall

At this point I'm throwing parts at it since it seems that's all the dealer will do (or the dealer I've been using anyway)

Next steps
- Replace Crank position sensor
- Replace EGR Valve
- Replace MAP sensor
- Replace Cam position sensor
- check Transfluid level
- Replace PCV
- Replace IAT sensor

All told this should be about $180 in parts and shipping.

This has me so freaking pissed, I finally get a vehicle I really like, not just one that I had to settle for. It suits my needs perfectly for towing and commuting plus its (was) a joy to drive. Now it just plain won't work and is unsafe.

So I'll try all these parts, maybe one more trip to a different dealer then it's probably adios. I can't have two kids in a vehicle that will randomly cut out on me.

THIS SUCKS!!!!

I've done some research on this and have not been able to find a definite answer. My 08 has done that 3 times in the 15 months I have owned it. All 3 times when coasting with foot off the gas. I didnt take it in due to bad luck w/ dealerships in the past plus I doubt that I would be able to recreate the problem and that they would be able to fix it. So interested to see what they are going to do with yours since it's stalling in their hands.

I have seen a recall with this issue but it appears that it only applies to vehicles manufactured during a certain period of time and from looking at the sticker on the door, mine was manufactured a few months after that time frame. In that recall they replace pcm.

Contact Jeep Customer Service if you found a recall for an issue that doesn't pertain to your build date. They will open a case and assist you.

That's why you guys need to call the Jeep Customer Service. This is indeed a hazardous issue.

Was the tranny fluid ever checked? If you're low on fluid, it could cause stalling.
 
#36 · (Edited)
You could try putting it in 2nd instead of D and drive around like that. If it runs without stalling, it could be a neutral safety switch out of adjustment, killing the ignition...just a thought, for it has happened before on other vehicles.

What kind of plugs did you use? Others have had stalling issues with anything but the Champions. Do you have a programmer/scanner? I'd look at the fuel injectors too.

Who's your dealer? I'm originally from the La Canada/Flintridge area.

Supposedly the coils have such high voltage they're making the ASD activate. Well see...
I wonder what they would say about my MSD coil packs.

wrapping the main PCM harness in tin foil.
They are not wearing tin foil hats are they?



You know this is the guy from corporate who is in charge of figuring things out....

Ummm, tin foil ? I'd Call Chrysler relations to inform them how the dealer mechanics jury rigged your vehicle. It is seemingly a bad harness and is under warranty, so they need to replace the harness with a new one, no matter what the cost or time involved, or replace the vehicle.
