2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

ON MY JEEP WRANGLER THE TIPM WENT OUT. I UNDERSTAND THAT 2008 JEEP WRANGLER HAVE THIS AS A RECALL BUT THEY HAVE TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER HASN'T SHOWN UP TO BE A PROBLEM YET OR NEXT IN LINE FOR THIS RECALL. IS THERE A WAY I CAN GET MY JEEP VIN TO SHOW SO I CAN GET THIS FIXED. WHIPPERS ARE GOING OFF EVEN THO ITS OFF. DASH LIGHTS WON'T TURN ON OR SHOW I HAVE ANY FUEL. I CAN NOT CHANGE THE GEAR.

WHEN REFUELING THE GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS GAS ALL OVER ON THE GROUND. IT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF WHEN TANK IS FULL.

WHILE DRIVING, THE HORN, LIGHTS AND WIPERS RANDOMLY GO OFF AND SPRAY FLUID EVERYWHERE. NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO STOP IT AND EVEN TURNING THE CAR OFF DOESN'T. IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS SINCE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY MY HORN IS GOING OFF FOR MINUTES AT A TIME. I DON'T WANT TO BE BEHIND SOMEONE AT AN INTERSECTION WITH MY HORN AND WIPERS GOING OFF. LOOKING ONLINE I CAN SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

AS THE OTHER FILED COMPLAINTS STATE FUEL SPRAYS FROM THE FILLER WHEN THE TANK NEARS FULL. MINE WILL SPRAY AND THERE IS STILL AVAILABLE SPACE FOR 2-3 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. WITH THE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS I SEE ON FORUMS AND OTHER PLACES ONLINE THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT NOR HAS JEEP MADE ANY EFFORT TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE. I DID NOT IN GOOD FAITH PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT WOULD RUIN MY FINISH, RUIN MY CLOTHES AND POUR GAS ON THE GROUND. I WOULD HOPE SOMEONE WOULD HOLD THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE AND MAKE THIS ISSUE A RECALL AND NOT JUST A TSB - INFECT MULTIPLE TSB'S FOR THE SAME ISSUE - JEEP YOU HAVE A REAL PROBLEM AND YOU SHOULD FIX IT.

HOTOIL ALARM COMES ON UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON A DAILY BASIS. TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATING AND NEEDS AN APPROPRIATE GRABS COOLER OR THIS WILL CAUSE FIRE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP BEFORE TRANSMISSION FAILURE!

THE FUEL SYSTEM DOES NOT SEEM TO RESPOND TO THE SHUT-OFF MECHANISM, WHICH MEANS GAS SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND, THE CAR AND EVEN THE OWNER. THIS PROBLEM HAS GONE ON EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT COULD VERY WELL CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT OR DEAD. I UNDERSTAND THE NHTS HAS 'REVIEWED' THE COMPLAINT AND DETERMINED THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM BUT IT WILL BE FAIR IF THE NHTS COULD RE-OPEN THIS CASE.

DRIVING JEEP IN DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC SUDDENLY HORN,SIGNAL LIGHT, WIPERS STARTED WORKING WITH NO INPUT FROM FROM ME PULLED OVER TRIED TO TURN JEEP OFF KEPT RUNNING . HAD TO PULL FUSE TO SHUT ENGINE OFF. WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIPM AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST OVER $1000 TO FIX !!!!!! WAS ALSO TOLD THEY WERE HAVING LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS . NEEDS TO BE A RECALL !!! HOPEFULLY YOU DO NOT DRAG YOUR HEALS LIKE YOU DID ON THE CLOCK SPRING !

MY JEEP STARTED SMOKING 1/2 MILE FROM HOME. TEMP GAUGE AND DASH LIGHTS GAVE NO INDICATION OF TROUBLE. BY 1/4 MILE THE TRANS WAS SLIPPING AND THE BRAKES HAD FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO NURSE IT INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND SOMEONE SAID THEY SAW FLAME. I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW A GLOW FROM UNDER THE CAR BUT ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION. I ALSO SAW I WAS LEAKING TRANS FLUID. WE USED WATER AND THEN A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO TRY TO PUT IT OUT. 5 MINUTES LATER IT WAS FULLY ENGULFED AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ON IT'S WAY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF BIG CALLED BUT THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE DONE. THE JEEP WAS A TOTAL LOSS.

TAKATA RECALL. OUR SELLING / SERVICING DEALER HAS RECEIVED SPONTANEOUS, LIMITED DELIVERIES OF THE PARTS (DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE), BUT WILL NOT MAINTAIN A LIST OF CUSTOMERS WHO NEED THE PARTS. IT IS 1ST COME 1ST SERVED, NO APPOINTMENTS, NO WAITING LIST. MUST CALL WEEKLY OR "STOP BY" TO SEE IF PARTS AVAILABLE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

MY VEHICLE IS STARTING TO SHOW SYMPTOMS OF THE TIPM FAILING. MY DOORS ARE UNLOCKING BY THEMSELVES, AND SOMETIMES THEY WON'T LOCK. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS NOW FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH. IT LEFT ME STRANDED TWICE NOW WITH A DEAD BATTERY. IT ALL START WITH THE DING AND THE SECURITY LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF.
