2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

HEAD LIGHTS AND INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON .CAR IS NOT RUNNING. KEY IS NOT IN IGNATION. WHILE DRIVING CLOCK GOES DARK AND COMES BACK ON SPONTANEOUSLY. WHILE PARKED OVERNIGHT BATTERY IS DRAINED COMPLETELY. DIFFICULTY STARTING CAR NEED TO TURN KEY TO OFF POSITION AND LIGHTLY PUSH ON GEAR SHIFT LEAVOR, THEN VEHICLE WILL START. THE ALL HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS EITHER RUNNING OR PARKED IN OFF POSITION

SINCE I BOUT THE JEEP IN NOV. 2015. EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE FUEL TANK, THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVE WILL NOT ENGAGE MAKING GAS SPILL OUT OF THE TANK.

AIR BAG DASH LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT BUT WOULD GO OFF WHILE TURNING A CORNER. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS A "CLOCK SPRING" AND CHARGED ME $384.20 (P&L) TO REPLACE IT ON 3/12/15

FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE MY 2008 WRANGLER IS NOT PART OF THE AIR BAG RECALL. MY LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT 3 YRS AGO HAD TO REPLACE IT TO HAVE IT INSPECTED . TO ME THAT'S ENOUGH TO PROVE IT NEEDS TO BE PART OF RECALL .. VERY DISGUSTED HOW THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED !!!

THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION/STICK SHIFT CONSTANTLY VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF 1ST AND 3RD GEAR INTO NEUTRAL WHILE ACCELERATING CAUSING A SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN TRAFFIC OR HAVE THE VEHICLE CONTINUE TO ROLL FORWARD (OR BACKWARD IF ON AN UPSLOPE) WHILE TRYING TO RE-ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION. UNLESS AND UNTIL THE DRIVER IS ABLE TO RE-ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION, THERE IS NO ACTIVE CONTROL OVER THE FORWARD MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SPEED OR AVOID A POTENTIAL COLLISION. THIS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY TO THE VEHICLE, DRIVER, DRIVERS OF OTHER VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUING PROBLEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. MANUFACTURE ISSUED A TSB (#21-001-10 REV. A) REGARDING THIS ISSUE CAUSED BY BAD A SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY. DEALER REFUSED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY B/C IT HAPPENED LESS FREQUENTLY THEN AND DEALER COULDN'T INDEPENDENTLY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. NOW THAT IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY THE DEALER REFUSES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM B/C THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A KNOWN DANGEROUS DEFECT BUT THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO CORRECT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND RESUMED DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING DAMPER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. HORN AND CRUISE ALSO QUIT WORKING WHEN THIS OCCURRED. REAR ENDED A LADY LAST FALL AND AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY, NOT SURE IT SHOULD HAVE BUT STILL DIDN'T. CAN NOT EVER FILL THE GAS TANK FULL DUE TO FUEL SPILLING OUT OF THE FILL TUBE ONTO THE GROUND, CAN GET SLIGHTLY MORE THAT 3/4 FULL.

REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF FAULTY CLOCKSPRING, BUT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL.

AIR BAG LIGHT GOES OFF CONSTANTLY. IF VEHICLE IS ON, WARNING LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND DING EVERY COUPLE OF MINS, WHETHER WHEEL IS STRAIGHT OR TURNING. ANNOYING AND APPARENTLY COMMON PROBLEM. HOPE MY AIRBAG DOESN'T KILL ME.

THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE FOR THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS THAT YOU ALREADY MADE JEEP EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON. THE CLOCK SPRING IS FAULTY AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENTS OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. JUST MAKE THE SAME WARRANTY AVAILABLE FOR THE LEFT HAND DRIVE MODELS. WE ARE NOT IN ENGLAND, WE DRIVE FROM THE LEFT SIDE.......
