2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

THE CLOCK SPRING FAILED AND NOW THE AIRBAG, HORN, AND CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. IT STARTED WITH A CLICKING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN TURNING, THEN AFTER A POPPING NOISE EVERYTHING MENTIONED STOPPED WORKING. AFTER RESEARCH THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS SEIZED UP AND FRONT PASSENGER IS STARTING. CAR VIOLENTLY WOBBLES AS 55MPH!

DURING FUELING MY VEHICLE EXPELS FUEL FROM THE FILL RECEPTACLE AT THE TIME THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. MY VEHICLE BUILD DATE IS APRIL OF 2008 AND IS SUBSEQUENTLY NOT COVERED BY TSB 14-001-011 WHICH ADDRESSES THIS SAME ISSUES IN JEEPS BUILT FROM MARCH OF 2007 TO MARCH OF 2008.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN TURNING ON AND OFF WHEN I AM DRIVING THE JEEP. IT CHIMES EVERY TIME IT LIGHTS UP, THEN GOES OUT, THEN CHIMES AND LIGHTS UP AGAIN FAIRLY OFTEN.

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 60 MPH AND ABOVE, WHEN BRAKING OR HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD THE WHEELS WOBBLE, STEERING IS UNCONTROLLABLE AND YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE OR STOP COMPLETELY UNTIL THE WOBBLING SUBSIDES. I WAS PASSING A SEMI TRUCK WHEN A SLOWER VEHICLE PULLED IN FRONT OF ME, I GENTLY BRAKED TO SLOW DOWN AND THE WOBBLING WAS SO BAD I COULD NOT STEER, BRAKE FURTHER OR ACCELERATE TO STOP THE WOBBLING OR MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF CARS BEHIND ME. I ENDED UP IN THE MEDIAN SINCE I COULD NOT FOLLOW THE CURVE OF THE ROAD AND WAS LUCKY TO NOT BE HIT BY OTHER CARS OR THE SEMI-TRUCK.

ON THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING.

I PURCHASED A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR 4X4 FROM FREDERICO DODGE CHRYSLER IN WOODRIVER ILLINOIS ON 04/04/2016. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE WIN MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER. RED LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COMES ON AS WELL. I TOOK IT BACK AND GOT ISSUES WITH THEM AND WAS TOLD IT WAS REPLACED. THE RED LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS STILL COMING ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. (ELECTRICAL ISSUE). I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT I HAVE A REAR MAIN SEAL (ENGINE) THAT IS LEAKING AND TRANSMISSION COOLANT LINES LEAKING ( TRANSMISSION). I TOOK BACK TO THEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LEAK/SEEPAGE AND THAT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY 3000 MILE/3 MONTH (ENGINE/TRANSMISSION) WARRANTY. I HAVE ONLY OWNED NEW DODGE VEHICLES AND WAS TREATED WITH PROFESSIONALISM. I BOUGHT A USED VEHICLE WITH THE WARRANTY GIVEN AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS INSPECTED AND WAS TREATED LIKE MY PROBLEMS WERE NOT THERE PROBLEM. I AM ASKING THAT THIS MAINTENANCE ISSUE GETS RESOLVED UNDER MY WARRANTY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WENT TO GO FILL UP THE JEEP, IT FILLED UP THE PUMP CLICKED THAT IT WAS DONE AND THEN IT VIOLENTLY OVERFLOWED COVERING ME AND MY PRECIOUS JEEP IN GASOLINE.

TURNED LEFT AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF. AND NOW CONTINUES TO GO OFF AND DING EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES AS I AM DRIVING. SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOST OF THE TIME WHEN TURNING LEFT BUT TENDS TO HAPPEN WHEN TURNING RIGHT AS WELL.

JUST PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. TURNED RIGHT AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF. AND NOW CONTINUES TO GO OFF AND DING EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES.
