2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

THE VEHICLE SPILLS FUEL EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED AT THE GAS PUMP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED REGARDLESS OF THE GAS STATION OR OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2012.

THIS AFFECTS 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. THE CAR VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING. THEY EVEN ISSUED A TSB ON IT. IT HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES BUT I ALMOST HAD A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT LAST WEEK WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY FROM A STOP. THIS WILL GET SOMEONE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

ANTI LOCK BRAKE MODULE FAILED. BRAKE PEDAL WOULD PULSE ON DRY PAVEMENT EVEN AT SPEEDS UNDER 5 MILES AN HOUR BUT WOULD FAIL TO BRING VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. PROBLEM BEGAN AS INTERMITTENT THEN WOULD RANDOMLY GO FROM PULSING BUT STILL STOPPING THE VEHICLE TO EVENTUALLY THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR WITH NO PULSING AND NO BRAKES WHATSOEVER. ALSO, NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT OR ANTILOCK BRAKE LIGHT. I KEPT THE MODULE AND WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SEND IT TO YOU FOR EVALUATION. SINCE I HAVE REPLACED THE MODULE (LAST FALL) I HAVE HAD NO FURTHER ISSUES.

FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS I WILL BE DRIVING, IN A PRETTY AVERAGE WAY, NOT SPEEDING OR BRAKING TO HARD, WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY HORN, ALARM, WIPERS, WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID, AND LIGHTS WILL GO ON AND WONT STOP FOR UP TO 5 MINUTES, IT HAS DONE THIS WHEN THE JEEP IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, OR EVEN WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION

ON TWO OCCASIONS NOW THE HORN, WIPERS AND WINDSHIELD WASH HAVE COME ON BY THEMSELVES. THEY WOULD SHUT NOT OFF UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT DOWN.

I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE NHTSA ONCE BEFORE BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING. MY JEEP IS EXPERIENCING A "DEATH WOBBLE" SO BAD THAT I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO JEEP DEALER TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED, BUT THEY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT A PROBLEM IT CLEARLY IS A PROBLEM, AND I HAVE LOOKED THIS CONDITION UP ON THE INTERNET. MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" YET CHRYSLER IS NOT FIXING A VERY DANGEROUS, AND LIFE THRETHENING SITUATION.

RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE CLOCK SPRING. THE HORN IN OUR WRANGLER STOPPED WORKING HAD A MECHANIC DIAGNOSIS THE PROBLEM AS THE CLOCK SPRING. JEEP DEALERSHIP SAID THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. CALLED JEEP AND THEY STATED TO GET THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED BY DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN EXPEDITE THE PART CALLED DEALERSHIP BACK AND THEY STATED THEY WOULD CHARGE US TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND IT WOULD NOT HELP GET THE PART.

THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN MID AUUST 2016 AND IS STILL GOING ON ....WIPERS GOING OFF N ON BY THEMSELVES, HORN BLARING, LIGHTS BLINKING ON N OFF, SIGNM=AL LIGHTS NOT WORKING AT TIMES, JEEP WONT MOVE FORWARD AT TIMES, STEERING GETS HARD TO MANAGE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OF AND ON ALL THE TIME..... THIS HAPPENS AT ANYTIME OR ANYWHERE....CAN GO ON FOR ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES...PEOPLE START STARING AS IF I AM CRAZY BLOWING THE HORN AT THEM AND MY LIGHTS FLASHING THROUGH OUT. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALLED ISSUE BASED ON THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER HAVING THE SAME ISSUE...FOR ALL I KNOW THE 2008 JEEPS WERE PROBABLY INTALLED PARTS FROM THE LINE FROM THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLERS WHICH HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TICM......I AM TRYING TO GET ESTIMATES RIGHT NOW BUT THE TCIM PART ALONE COSTS $425 OR MRE PLUS LABOR AND ADDITIONAL FOR PROGRAMMING......THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!! SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN STOPPED AT THE LIGHT WITH VEHICLE ON AND SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING..HARD TO MANUEVER CAR WHEN DRIVING DUE TO DIFFICULT STEERING
