2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

VERY OFTEN, WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, IT SPITS GAS OUT. SOMETIMES, THE GAS SPRAYS OUT SO FAR THAT IT WETS MY CLOTHING, THE FUEL PUMP STAND, AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS CAN ONE DAY CAUSE A FIRE AND IS A HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. I HAVE TRIED TO PUMP AT DIFFERENT PUMPS AND AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES AND AUDIBLE ALARM SOUNDS. JEEP WILL NOT RECALL ALL DEFECTIVE JEEPS. *TR

I HAD AN AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT THAT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO AWAY. WHEN I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING THAT WAS BAD. THEY HAD INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE SO I PAID OUT OF POCKET TO GET IT FIXED. *TR

WHILE OPERATING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH WITH A NOTIFICATION NOISE EVERY FEW MINUTES AND HAS CONTINUED SINCE. THE DASH LIGHT DOES NOT SHUT OFF AT THIS TIME, STAYS ILLUMINATED AND THE NOTIFICATION NOISE APPROX EVERY MINUTE. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH THIS IS THE SAME PART NUMBER THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON THE 2007 MODELS AS WELL AS THE 2008 RIGHT HAND SIDE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE VEHICLE HAD NO BALANCE. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIANS ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000 AND THE CURRENT FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

PURCHASED MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER FIVE WEEKS AGO. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE FILLED THE FUEL TANK 6 TIMES. EACH AND EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK HAS OVERFLOWED OUT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE BODY, BUMPER AND POOLED ON THE GROUND. I HAVE TRIED SLOWING THE FILL RATE, GUESSING THE AMOUNT THAT THE TANK WILL FILL TO AND EVEN HOLDING THE RUBBER CAP ON THE GAS PUMP FILLER DOWN TIGHT. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. I'VE BEEN SPLASHED IN THE FACE, AND ON MY CLOTHES. I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS ON ANY CAR I'VE OWNED IN THE PAST. I'M A PROFESSIONAL AUTO/TRUCK MECHANIC, THIS IS NOT USER ERROR, IT IS A DESIGN FAILURE OF THE PART. A REDESIGN AND RECALL IS IN ORDER. *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X 4DR, HAS MAJOR WATER LEAKING ISSUES. I GOT THIS JEEP USED WITH 17,560MILES ON IT. IT RUNS GREAT. HOWEVER EVERY TIME IT RAINS, IT LEAKS. MY DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT GETS SO WET THAT YOU CAN WRING IT OUT. THE FLOOR UNDERNEATH THE BACKSEAT GETS SOAKED. I HAD TO USE A SHAMPOOER IN THE JEEP BECAUSE I COULDN'T SOAK UP ALL THE WATER FROM THE CARPET, AND IT SMELLED LIKE MILDEW. I PULLED UP THE CARPET TO BE SURE THAT THE PLUGS ARE IN CORRECTLY, WHICH THEY ARE, AND NOTICED WHAT LOOKED LIKE RUST. THE AREA WHERE MY SEATBELT ADJUSTS, AND AROUND THE BOLTS FOR THE SEATS IS RUSTING. MY JEEP ONLY HAS 49,226 MILES ON IT. MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS THAT YOU HAVE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE UNLIMITED X 4DR LEAKING WATER. WHY HASN'T ANYTHING BEEN DONE WITH THIS ISSUE? I DON'T NEED MY FLOOR BOARDS OR SEATBELT RUSTING OUT, IN MY OPINION SOMETHING NEEDS DONE BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH OR LESS AND GOING OVER A BUMP THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY IN THE FRONT END. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THERE WAS NO TEST FOR THE FAILURE AND THEY WOULD JUST HAVE TO REPLACE THE STABILIZER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

2008 JEEP JK'S NEED TO HAVE A RECALL ON THERE CLOCK SPRINGS! I HAVE JUST HAD TO HAVE MINE REPLACED, AND HAVE READ OF MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE OR NEED TO ON-LINE. THE WARNING LIGHT STARTED FLASHING EVERY MINUTE OR SO WITH A TONE, I FEEL OTHERS AND MYSELF SHOULD NOT HAVE TO OR HAD TO PAY FOR OUR SAFETY WHEN IT IS THE MANUFACTURES ISSUE. *TR

TANK OVERFLOWS EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE JEEP. FUEL SPILLS ON THE JEEP AND THE GROUND. *TR
