2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY JEEP OUT OF NO WHERE IT DECIDES TO DO THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IT HAS ALMOST THROWN ME OFF THE ROAD IN SEVERAL SITUATIONS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH A BUNCH OF THEIR JEEPS AND DOES NOT FIX IT FOR ANYONE OR WARN ANYONE. I HAVE TOOK IT TO PLACE AFTER PLACE TRYING TO GET AN ANSWER OF WHY I HAVE CHANGED THE STEERING STABILIZER 4 TIMES NOW. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY JEEP NOT KNOWING WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. IT COULD BE OVER A VERY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD THAT ISN'T EVEN NOTICEABLE TO THE NAKED EYE OR A BIG BUMP IT DOES NOT MATTER. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS NO WAY ANYONE WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP THERE VEHICLE AS FAST AS THEY NEED TO BECAUSE OF THE DEATH WOBBLE WHEN THERE IS ICE ON THE ROAD THIS COULD KILL SOMEONE!! SHAKES THE WHOLE FRONT IN UNCONTROLLABLY!

FUELING HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. I HAD A SHUT OFF PROBLEM IN THAT THE GAS WOULD EJECT FROM THE CAR. THEN I HAD A PROBLEM WITH SLOW FUELING. IT MIGHT TAKE A GALLON THEN ALMOST STOP TAKING FOREVER TO PUT FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BEGNAL MOTORS IN KINGSTON AND THEY DID ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND REPLACED THE INTAKE NOZZLE? AND SOMETHING TO ALLOW AIR INTO THE TANK WHEN REFUELING. IT SEEMED TO BE OK FOR AWHILE THEN WENT BACK TO THE FUELING PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK TO BEGNAL AND THEY SEEMED TO BELIEVE THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK AT MY EXPENSE! THIS IS A LIABILITY TO MY SAFETY. I DROVE THE JEEP TO CALIFORNIA AND BACK THE END OF JUNE OF THIS YEAR AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM...I HAVE TO USE MY VEHICLE FOR MANY TRIPS OUT OF TOWN AND IT IS FRIGHTENING AS THEY TOLD ME THIS PROBLEM WOULD PROBABLY GET WORSE! THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ENGINEERING PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY CHRYSLER. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE STARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON AND HAS STAYED ON. SINCE THIS HAPPENED THE CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS. FROM WHAT I'VE REVIEWED THIS IS A BAD CLOCK SPRING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND FLUID OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY, THE HORN SOUNDED, THE ENGINE FAN OPERATED, AND ALL FOUR DOORS LOCKED CONTINUOUSLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT (FLASHED ON AND OFF) THAT INDICATED A FAILURE OF THE CLOCKSPRING WIRING IN THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG CIRCUIT. CODE B1B06 SET FOR DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB CIRCUIT 2 OPEN AN INTERNAL SHORT INSIDE OF THE CLOCKSPRING WAS FOUND. REPLACED CLOCKSPRING MODULE.

THE AIRBAG ALARM GOES OFF RANDOMLY (IT MIGHT BE 5-10 SECONDS, OR SEVERAL MINUTES BETWEEN). AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I SEE THAT THIS IS OFTEN CAUSED BY THE CLOCK SPRING, WHICH WAS RECALLED ON THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. BASED ON JEEP FORUMS, MANY DRIVERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE THE PART SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MAY AFFECT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING, THE WARNING CHIME SOUNDS AND THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. THEN IT GOES OFF. THEN IT COMES ON AGAIN. IT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V176000 BUT I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. CHECKED CODES. CODE FOR AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING. JEEP RECALLED 2007 MODEL WRANGLERS FOR THIS PROBLEM. SAME PART NUMBERS AS NEWER JEEP CLOCKSPRINGS. WHY HASN'T JEEP EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE NEWER JEEP MODELS.SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SLOT OR JEEP WRANGLERS ARE EXPERIENCING.
