2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

SWAY BAR LIGHT WAS FLASHING, BROUGHT TO DEALER NEEDED NEW ELECTRONIC SWAY BAR DUE TO CORROSION. THIS IS ENCLOSED AND SHOULD HAVE NO CORROSION I WAS CONCERNED THAT MY JEEP MAY GO INTO A DEATH WOBBLE IF I DROVE OVER 18 MILES PER HOUR. MY JEEP HAS ONLY 40,000 MILES.I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT DUE TO COMPLAINTS I VIEWED ONLINE I NOT THE ONLY ONE SO ACTUATOR, STABILIZER BAR, WIRING CHASSIS, SCREW & RET PUSH CODE U1159 WAS SHOWING. POWER WIRE WAS CORRODED AND WEAK CLEANED & BENT PIN NEW WIRING HARNESS WAS NEEDED. AFTER 2260.00 I GOT MY JEEP BACK2

AIR BAG LIGHT AND AUDIBLE ALARM COMING ON, EVERY TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE. I WAS WORRIED THE AIR BAG WOULD DEPLOY ACCIDENTALLY OR THAT IT WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK TO DEALER IN THOMSON, GA.PAID $594 TO HAVE AIRBAG CLOCK SPING REPLACED.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING OFF ROAD ON SAND AND WHILE TURNING. DEALER INDICATED THE FIX WAS GOING TO COST OVER $500 DOLLARS. THEY INDICATED SOME FAULTY WIRING.

WHEN DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTION AT ANY SPEED THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. THE LIGHT WILL GO OUT WHEN TURNING BUT WILL COME BACK ON WHEN THE WHEEL IS STRAIGHT AGAIN. ALSO THE HORN WILL NOT SOUND ( NO FUSE ARE BLOWN) PROBLEM BELIEVED TO BE CLOCK SPRING.

AIRBAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON AND DIGGING. HORN INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT WORK. HAPPENS RIGHT WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION ON AND START THE VEHICLE AND DOES NOT GO AWAY UNTIL IGNITION IS TURNED OFF.

I AM ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY AIRBAG LIGHT. COMPUTER CODE GIVES THE B1B06- CLOCK SPRING, WHICH JEEP HAS RECALLED FOR RHD BUT NOT LHD. THIS MAKES NO SENSE, SEEING AS HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS AS WELL. I'VE CONTACTED JEEP NUMEROUS TIMES TO COMPLAIN. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX, A FACTORY PRODUCT SAFETY ISSUE THAT JEEP SHOULD COVER! NOT ONLY IS THE CONSTANT WARNING SOUND A NUISANCE EVERY OTHER MINUTE, BUT WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAG IS DISABLED. JEEP, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

IN THREE SEPARATE INSTANCES WHEEL STUDS HAVE BUSTED OFF THE BACK TIRES. 1ST TIME ALL 5 BROKE. 2ND TIME - 2 BROKE AND THIS 3RD TIME - 1 BROKE. JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE IS OF NO HELP WITH THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE TO PUT ON NEW STUDS AND LUGS EVERY TIME AND IF THE TIRE COMES FULLY OFF, THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. TWICE THE JEEP WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT HAPPENED AND ONCE WHILE DURING A TIRE ROTATION, TAKING OFF A LUG BY HAND THE WHEEL STUD SNAPPED IN HALF.

POSSIBLE FAULTY CLOCK SPRING ISSUE AS SEEN IN MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS MADE AFTER 2007. AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WITH AUDIBLE WARNING EVERY OTHER MINUTE AND SIGNALS THE DRIVER THAT THERE COULD BE A FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG OR EARLY DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY JEEP BUT THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO ONLY PURSUE RIGHT HAND DRIVE RHD JEEPS EVEN THOUGH MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY LEFT HAND DRIVE LHD JEEP OWNERS AS WELL. JEEP ADMITTED THE ORIGINAL CLOCK SPRINGS WERE FAILING AND SAID THEY WERE WORKING ON A NEW ONE. I CALLED JEEP YESTERDAY AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED, BUT THAT I SHOULD HANG ON TO MY BILLS IN CASE IT EVER BECOMES COVERED. I ONLY HAVE 30,500 MILES ON MY JEEP. MANY OWNERS HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS AND ONLY A FEW HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. THIS IS A FACTORY PRODUCT SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY JEEP.

I AM HAVING CONTINUALLY INCREASING EPISODES WHERE MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4 DR 4X4 EXPERIENCES WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS AN ELECTRICAL "SPASM." ALL OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, WASHER FLUID MANIFOLDS, DOOR LOCKS, & HORN ALL OPERATE CONTINUOUSLY, AND WILL NOT STOP UNLESS THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED. HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT THIS "UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM" ISN'T GOING TO GET WORSE, AND BY WORSE, I MEAN AFFECT SOMETHING CRUCIAL TO THE SAFE OPERATION OF MY VEHICLE WHEN I'M DRIVING IT AT FREEWAY SPEEDS? IF THIS VEHICLE HAS SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WHILE I'M DRIVING IT AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, THEN A LOT OF PEOPLE COULD BE SEVERELY INJURED DUE TO THE SIZE OF THIS VEHICLE BECOMING UNCONTROLLABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED/IDLING, WHILE IT IS DRIVING, AND NOW, AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I HAVE TAKEN IT DIRECTLY TO A JEEP DEALER IMMEDIATELY AFTER BOTH EPISODES. THE FIRST TIME, I HAD TO WAIT SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE THE VEHICLE COULD BE DRIVEN. THE 2ND TIME IT OCCURRED I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO A JEEP DEALER, AND THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AFTER SEVERAL DAYS. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD AT THE VERY LEAST, BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, AND REDESIGN WHICHEVER ELECTRICAL COMPONENT, OR SYSTEM, THAT'S CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I WOULD EVEN BE WILLING TO PURCHASE THE PART AT THE MANUFACTURER'S COST, IF IT GOT RID OF THE PROBLEM.

HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO GO OUT. DAUGHTER HAS TO DRIVE HOME WITH FOG LIGHTS. ENGINE FAN COMES ON AND OFF. TOOK TO JEEP THEY SAID IT WAS A SHORT AND IT WORKED FOR A MONTH, SAME THING. AFTER RESEARCH IT APPEARS THE TIPM IS BAD, LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ETC. ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, AND CITY STREET AND ALSO AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED AT WORK ALL DAY. IT IS RANDOM. I HAVE TAPPED ON THE TIPM MODULE AND THEN TURNED ON THE LIGHTS AND THEY WORK AGAIN FOR A DAY OR TWO AND THEN GO OUT AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE DECEMBER 2015, THE LAST TIME WAS MARCH 5, 2016.
