2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

WHEN FUELING THE GAS PUMP ISN'T TRIGGERED TO SHUT OFF UNTIL GAS HAS ALREADY CAME OUT THE TOP OF THE FUELING NECK. THIS CAUSES GAS TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND HAVE A GAS SPILL AT THE FUELING STATION. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY STATION I FILL UP AT.

RANDOMLY WON'T START. TURN THE KEY AND NOTHING HAPPENS. TRY 2ND OR THIRD TRY, THEN IT'S STARTS. HAVE REPLACE BATTERY, STARTER, TESTED ALTERNATOR , IGNITION, RPM MODULE BOX AND THE FUSE BOX MODULE.CAR DEALER CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN PLAGUING MANY JEEP OWNERS. JEEP MESSAGE BOARDS ARE FULL OF THIS SAME COMPLAINT. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FIX. *TR

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V290000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000. THE CLOCKSPRING RECALL COST $500.00 TO REPAIR. THE CONTACT SUBMITTED THE CHARGE TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 19 YEAR OLD SONS JEEP WRANGLER AND EXPERIENCED THE SO CALLED DEATH WOBBLE, IT WAS SO BAD OTHER DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY WERE HONKING THEIR HORNS AT ME. MY SON WAS WITH ME AND SAID THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HIM WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 50-70MPH. THE STEERING VIOLENTLY SHAKES FROM SIDE TO SIDE. IT WILL ONLY STOP IF I SLOW DOWN TO SPEEDS BELOW 20 MPH. I KNOW LONGER ALLOW MY SON TO DRIVE THE JEEP WRANGLER ON THE HIGHWAY AND WILL NOT LET HIM TAKE IT TO COLLEGE WHEN HE STARTS BACK IN THE FALL. I DO NOT WANT TO PUT HIM IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY. THE JEEP IS STOCK; NO LIFTS, AFTERMARKET WHEELS, ETC. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS, LOOSING CONTOL OF YOUR STEERING AT 50+ MPH CANNOT BE SAFE.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH VIOLENT SHAKING OF ENTIRE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. IT IS BRAKE OR STABILITY CONTROL RELATED. HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND START AGAIN FOR SHAKING TO STOP. ALSO HAVE HAD TO CHANGE BOTH FRONT CALIPERS DUE TO OVERHEAT DAMAGE. THE OVERHEAT IS A RESULT OF BRAKES APPLIED BY STABILITY CONTROL OR TRACTION CONTROL WHEN THERE IS NO NEED FOR EITHER.

AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS CHIMING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING! BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THE AIRBAG IS NOT MAKING CONNECTION DUE TO A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING! CHRYSLER ALREADY HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR "CERTAIN MODEL YEARS" OF COURSE 2008 WASN'T COVERED! THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS AND FIX IT CONSIDERING IT'S BEEN A PROBABLY RIGHT OUT OF THE FACTORY! I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE! THIS IS RIDICULOUS CHRYSLER! THE PEOPLE SUPPORT YOU NOW IT'S TIME TO SUPPORT US BACK!

JEEP BASICALLY POSSESSED. HORN GOES OFF, WIPERS TURN ON, WIPER FLUID SPRAYS, DOOR LOCK AND UNLOCK RAPIDLY.(ALL BY THEMSELVES). REMAINS RUNNING AFTER TURNED OFF AND KEY REMOVED. PERIODICALLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. PROBLEM IS TIPM(TOTALY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). 2007'S WERE RECALLED FOR THESE SAME ISSUES BUT THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE FOR THE 2008'S. I'VE SPOKE WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAD 07'S THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS. AFFECTED PART NUMBER - 04692236AF

AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. MY ISSUE SEEMS CONSISTENT WITH RECALLS DUE TO CLOCK SPRING FAILURE IN RIGHT HAND MODEL JEEPS. CALL TO CHRYSLER CONFIRMED AS SUCH, BUT THEY WON'T COMMIT TO FIX UNTIL RECALL INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY IS CONCLUDED.

I TOOK IT TO JEEP BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING AND THEY WANTED $1000 FOR IT TO BE FIXED. NO I FIND OUT ITS HAPPENING TO ALL JEEPS. THEY STILL WON'T GO GOOD FOR IT. IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER YEAR JEEPS BY STILL NO RECALL. IT'S A DEFECT AND I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE FIXED. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL INFO ON MY JEEP.

PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW IN 2008. APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS LATER , I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR STARTING. PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, TURN IT AND YOU HEAR A CLICK. INITIALLY, IT SEEMED TO OCCUR SPORADICALLY NORMALLY AFTER IT RAINED . NOW, THE PROBLEM OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY (DAILY) ABSENT ANY RAIN. I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER TO NO AVAIL. I ALSO TOOK THE CAR TO A JEEP DEALER TO NO AVAIL .
