2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

WHEN FUELING VEHICLE OVERFLOW POURS OUT OF THE TANK AND ON TO THE VEHICLE AND GROUND WHEN FILLED. I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 14 MONTHS AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE PURCHASED.

GAS GOING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND ON ME. ALSO THE JEEP JERKS SO BAD THAT I ALMOST HIT MY HEAD. THE TRANSMISSON WAS CHANGED 30,000 MILES AGAIN AND RUNS LIKE CRAP.

I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP WRANGLER 2008 AND STATED SHAKING SEVERELY WHICH WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. AFTER CONDUCTING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH I LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP WRANGLERS AND IT'S CALLED DEATH WOBBLE.

GAS OVERSPILLS FROM THE TANK. DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY STOP WHEN FILLING CAUSING GAS TO SPLASH ON THE OWNER, VEHICLE, AND GROUND. HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE ATTEMPT TO FILL THE TRUCK UNLESS WE MANUALLY STOP ENTERING GAS BEFORE IT'S FULL.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY AT 40 MPH. WHEN MY HORN STARTED BLOWING, WINDSHIELD WIPER TURNED ON, LIGHTS FLASHING SO I HAD TO TURN ONTO A SIDE ROAD. MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING SO I TURN IT OFF. THE ENGINE STOPPED BUT EVERYTHING ELSE REMAINED ON. HORN WAS STILL BLOWING, WIPERS ON...I DISCONNECTED THE HORN WIRES TO STOP THE HORN. I STARTED TO MOVE SOME WIRES THINKING THAT THERE MAY BE A SHORT SOMEWHERE. FINALLY EVERYTHING STOPPED BUT NOW MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. THROUGH SOME RESEARCH I FOUND IT TO BE THE TIPM ( TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. IT HAS BEEN FINE SINCE I HAD IT REPLACED. FORTUNATELY THIS ALL TOOK PLACE DURING THE DAY IN GOOD WEATHER. HAD IT HAPPENED AT NIGHT OR IN THE WINTER SNOW OR IN SOME REMOTE AREA IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN OR A DANGEROUS SITUATION. FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED MYSELF THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED INCIDENT. PLEASE REVIEW THIS INFORMATION. THANK YOU.

WHEN FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS THE GAS PUMP DOES NOT AUTO STOP FILLING AND GAS SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILL OPENING AROUND THE PUMP HANDLE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP AND AS A RESULT I MUST ALWAYS FILL THE TANK MANUALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE 2008 WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR.

VEHICLE COMPONENTS BEGIN MALFUNCTIONING, WIPERS TURN ON, WIPER WASHER PUMP FLOODS WINDSHIELD, LIGHTS FLASH, HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY TURN OFF WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, HORN SOUNDS, CANNOT TURN VEHICLE OFF. TURN KEY TO OFF POSITION AND VEHICLE CONTINUES TO RUN CREATING AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WIPERS AND WASHERS BLIND DRIVER RANDOMLY. ONLINE RESEARCH ALL POINTS TO KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE THAT HAS WELL DOCUMENTED FAILURE RATE. THIS IS A HORRIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT DESERVES INVESTIGATION AND REMEDIATION.

THE DEFROST ON A JEEP WRANGLER IS VERY INEFFECTIVE AND POORLY DESIGNED. THE ONLY BLOWER FOR THE DEFROST IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW CAUSING THE SIDES OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD TO SEVERELY FREEZE UP AND BECOME IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER SUCH AS FOG, SLEET OR SNOW. BASICALLY ANY TYPE OF PRECIPITATION DURING WEATHER THAT IS BELOW FREEZING WILL CAUSE THIS WHICH RESULTS IN A SEVERE INABILITY TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ON ANY ROAD AS LONG AS THERE IS PRECIPITATION AND TEMPS ARE BELOW FREEZING.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION, I ALWAYS GET ABOUT A CUP OF GAS THAT SPITS BACK OUT OF THE FILLER PORT. THE NOZZLE ALWAYS CLICKS OFF BUT THE GAS JUST KEEPS COMING.

THE HORN BLOWS ON ITS ON, THE WIPERS AND WASHERS COME ON BY THERE SELF, LIGHTS COME ON BY THERE SELF, AND THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THEM OFF IS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. IT HAPPENS MOVING OR STATIONARY.
