WHILE FILLING UP MY VEHICLE THE AFTER THE GAS NOZZLE SHUT OFF GAS BEGAN TO SPEW OUT OF THE GAS TANK FILL SPOUT. THIS NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY VEHICLE. *TR

THE HORN NO LONGER WORKS AND PER THE DEALER, IT IS THE CLOCKSPRING. THIS COST ABOUT $500 TO REPLACE. THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR HAD A RECALL BUT THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THE 08 WHICH APPARENTLY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V528000 (AIR BAGS: FRONTAL) HOWEVER, THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

2008 JEEP WRANGLER 3.8L ENGINE WITH 2ND CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD IN LESS THAN 12 MONTHS. JEEP KNOWS THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM & DANGEROUS FIRE HAZARD. JEEP HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM, THEY JUST KEEP SELLING THE SAME FAULTY EXHAUST MANIFOLDS THAT CRACK CONSTANTLY. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY AT LOW DRIVING SPEED. EVENTUALLY STAYED ON PERMANENTLY WHENEVER VEHICLE WAS IN GEAR. FAILED CLOCK SPRING WAS DIAGNOSED. THIS VEHICLE IS THE MORE COMMON LEFT HAND DRIVE. *TR

DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS INSPECTED MY JEEP FOR AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM MILLENNIUM AND THE WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING. THIS IS A LHD VEHICLE. THE RECALL ID 94030 IS FOR THE RHD JEEP. IF LEFT HAND DRIVE JEEPS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS, HOW CAN THIS JUST BE ON THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE ONLY? RECALL ID # 94030 - AIR BAGS:FRONTAL COMPONENT AIR BAGS:FRONTAL MODEL AFFECTED WRANGLER POTENTIAL UNITS AFFECTED 5437 RECALL DATE: NOV 02, 2011 MODEL AFFECTED: 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SUMMARY: CHRYSLER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008-2012 RIGHT HAND DRIVE (RHD) JEEP WRANGLER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM FEBRUARY 1, 2007, THROUGH OCTOBER 10, 2011. SOME VEHICLES MAY BE EQUIPPED WITH DRIVER'S AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLIES THAT COULD EXPERIENCE A COMPROMISED AIRBAG CIRCUIT RESULTING IN AN AIRBAG LAMP ILLUMINATION, WHICH INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY. CONSEQUENCES: A BROKEN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT IN THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING WIRING ASSEMBLY CAN LEAD TO NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY PROTECT THE DRIVER IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES. REMEDY: CHRYSLER WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REMEDY THE VEHICLES AS NECESSARY FREE OF CHARGE. CHRYSLER WILL MAIL TO OWNERS AN INTERIM NOTIFICATION DURING MARCH 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403. POTENTIAL UNITS AFFECTED: 5437. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IF THE VEHICLE HITS A BIG ENOUGH BUMP IT WILL BEGIN AN INCREASING WOBBLE IN THE SUSPENSION, KNOWN AROUND THE COMMUNITY AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE", IT WILL CONTINUE TO GET WORSE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SLOWED TO A SPEED WHERE IT CAN RECOVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. NOT ONLY WHEN TRAVELING THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT BUT SOMETIMES 5 TO 10 MILES AND HOUR SLOWER, CAUSING A DISRUPT IN TRAFFIC. MADE SURE TIRES WERE PROPERLY INFLATED, BALANCED AND THE FRONT END ALIGNED AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AT 40MPH. WOLFCHASE JEEP REFUSED TO WARRANTY ITEM. I HAD TO PAY FOR TROUBLE SHOOTING, BUT CHRYSLER WOULD NOT WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR R/H DRIVE AND 07 MODEL YEAR WRANGLERS. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON & GOING OFF ON SAT 11/17/2012. I TRIED CALLING THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE CLOSED. CALLED ON MON. 11/19/12. TOOK JEEP IN MON AFTERNOON. WAS TOLD TODAY THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT BECAUSE IT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. I DO NOT THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS AS IT WAS A RECALL AND HAD HAPPENED AGAIN. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG OR IT WOULD NOT GO OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE WOULD APPRECIATE SOME HELP FROM SOMEONE. I AM SO UPSET WITH THIS JEEP THAT I WILL PROBABLY NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE AND WILL SUGGEST THAT NO ONE ELSE BUY ONE EITHER. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS JEEP. *TR
