2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

I JUST BOUGHT THIS 08 JEEP WRANGLER JK IN 1/10/2015 AND ON THE WAY HOME I STOP TO FILL IT UP WITH GAS AND ONCE FULL THE OVER SPILL AND DIDN'T SHUT WHEN IT'S SUPPOSE TO WENT ALL OVER ME. EVERY TIME I FILL THE JEEP UP WITH GAS IT OVERFLOWS EVERYWHERE. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED JEEP THAT HAD FLOOR MATS THAT I FOUND OUT HAD A SAFETY RECALL THAT STATED THE HOLE THAT IS USED TO HOOK FLOOR MATS TO THE FLOOR BOARD COULD TEAR CAUSING GAS PEDAL TO STICK CAUSING A CRASH. WHEN I CONTACTED THEM THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL ONLY FIX THE ISSUE IF I WAS THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THE FLOOR MAT. THEN IN A FOLLOW UP EMAIL THEY STATED THAT THE WARRANTY ONLY APPLIES TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER. THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE BUT A SAFETY RECALL BY QUADRATEC ( SEE THEIR RECALL POST ) HTTPS://WWW.QUADRATEC.COM/IMAGES/FLR.PDF I THEN SENT A FOLLOW UP LETTER ASKING THEM IF IN FACT THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT IT IS OKAY TO USE THE PRODUCT OR IF THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY WILL REFUSE TO REPLACE OR REPAIR A SELF DESCRIBED SAFETY RECALL. THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE NOT BEING HONORED BY THE COMPANY QUADRATEC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE FELT EXTREMELY HOT THROUGH THE CONSOLE. THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AND BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF A POLICE AND A FIRE REPORT WERE FILED. THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE WAS UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP WRANGLER. THEY HAVE ALREADY RECALLED THE 2007 MODEL YEARS FOR FAULTY AND POORLY DESIGNED CLOCK SPRINGS AND HAVE MADE A REPLACEMENT PART THAT IS MUCH BETTER. THEY HAVE RECALLED THE 2008 ONLY RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEPS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN GIVING THE FACT THAT IT AFFECTS THE CRUISE CONTROL, AIR BAGS, AND HORN. SHAME ON THEM FOR NOT WANTING TO CORRECT AND REPAIR A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNING, YET NOW DOES IT FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. EVEN WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT, THE LIGHT STAYS OFF. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR THESE VEHICLES. THIS REFLECTS CHRYSLER'S RECALL NUMBER IS L37. *TR

DURING NORMAL DRIVING AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT FAILS TO EXTINGUISH. DIAGNOSTICS IS A FAILED AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING. *TR

PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW ONE LOOSE WIRE WHICH CAN ONLY CAUSE CAR NOT TO START, CAN WARRANT A RECALL ,BUT A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING DOES NOT !!!!!!! PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME . SAME PART ON RHD WRANGLER GETS REPLACED WHY? COULD IT BE RHD WRANGLERS ARE DRIVEN BY GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES ....UNTIL SOME ONE TELLS ME DIFFERENTLY THAT'S WHAT I AND MANY OTHERS THINK . DO YOUR JOB !!!!!!!! MAKE CHRYSLER RECALL ALL JEEP WRANGLERS WITH CLOCK SPRING ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPER ACTIVATED, THE HEADLIGHTS ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF THE PARK POSITION, AND THE HORN SOUNDED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE JEEP JUMPS OUT OF GEAR WITHOUT ANY WARNING ALMOST CAUSING A ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR BEHIND ME! *TR

WHEN TURNING I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING AND THE ABS, ESP, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS AND ALSO THE BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. MY SON DRIVES THIS VEHICLE ALSO AND I AM AFRAID THE AIR BAG IS GOING TO DEPLOY. *TR
