2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE ALL OF THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND BLINKED(ABS,ESC,TRACTION CONTROL,BRAKE,SEATBELT) THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. LUCKILY NO VEHICLES AROUND AND I REGAINED CONTROL AFTER GOING IN THE MEDIAN. PUT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND GOT OUT. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED AGAIN TURNING EVERYTHING OFF INCLUDING 4 WAY FLASHERS WHEN I STOPPED AT A LIGHT. IT WAS DARK AND THE JEEP IS DARK GREEN. I HAD A FLASHLIGHT TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I OPENED THE HOOD AND POUNDED MY FIST ON THE MAIN FUSE BOX. AFTER 3 MINUTES THE VEHICLE CAME TO LIFE AND I STARTED IT TO GET OFF ROADWAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD THE JEEP STARTING FLASHING THE ESC LIGHT, THE TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKES, ABS AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD SKIP AND NOT GIVE A READING. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD ALSO FLICKER. JUST TO NOTE THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY ARE GOOD. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME LOSS OF CONTROL IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE SPEED INDEPENDENTLY DECREASED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

AFTER LEAVING THE GYM ON MY LUNCH BREAK I TOOK (THANK GOD) THE NOT SO HEAVY TRAFFIC ROAD TO GET BACK TO WORK. MY JEEP CUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING. I HAD TO PULL OVER. AGAIN MY WIPERS START GOING AND THE LIGHTS COME ON AND THE HORN WON'T STOP BLARING SO I HAD TO OPEN THE HOOD AND TAP ON THE FUSE BOX LID. AFTER THE 5TH ATTEMPT THE CAR DECIDED TO COME ON. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IF I AM RIGHT NEXT TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. THIS HAS TO STOP AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. I HAVE A CHILD AND THIS IS VERY NOT SAFE. THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED TO ME LAST WEEK COMING DOWN A BUSY STREET. AGAIN BLESSED I WAS NEAR THE DRIVEWAY OF A BUSINESS I DID NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND PULLED OVER WAITING FOR MY JEEP TO DECIDE WHEN IT WANTED TO START AGAIN. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? I TOOK MY JEEP SEVERAL MONTHS BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION FOR 2 WEEKS BEFORE THEY GOT TO LOOKING AT IT AND STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND SENT IT BACK HOME TO ME. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AS I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED PRIOR TO MAY 2014 THAT MY CRUISE CONTROL HAD QUIT WORKING BUT JUST FIGURED THE CONTROL HAD GONE OUT. THEN ABOUT MAY 2014 THE AIRBAG, STABILITY CONTROL AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND HAVE BEEN ON SINCE THEN. THE JEEP DOES STILL CHIME NOTIFYING ME OF THE ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I'VE COME TO CONCLUSION ITS THE CLOCKSPRING, WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED/WARRANTY EXTENDED ON SEVERAL MODEL YEAR WRANGLERS. I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING UNDERSTANDING WHY THIS HASN'T BEEN EXTENDED TO ADDITIONAL MODEL YEARS. IS JEEP WAITING ON XX NUMBER DEATHS AND INJURIES TO OCCUR DUE TO A FAULTY PART RELATED VEHICLE SAFETY? *TR

I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED. WHEN I REFUEL THE VEHICLE, THE PUMP STOPS, BUT THEN FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE BRAKES COME ON AUTOMATICALLY , ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL IN RIGHT HAND TURN ! IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ? *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN US RT. 60 HEADED BACK TO PHOENIX ARIZONA. DURING MY TIME TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD DOING APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH I RAN OVER TRAIN TRACKS AND IMMEDIATELY MY JEEP BEGAN SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER MY VEHICLE TO STOP VIOLENT SHAKING. I HAVE LOOKED INTO THIS ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM REFERRED TO AS, " DEATH WOBBLE. "THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 5 MONTHS. IT WAS PURCHASED AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. *JS

VEHICLE'S AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND "CHIMES" FREQUENTLY THROUGHOUT VEHICLE OPERATION. REQUEST CHRYSLER INITIATES RECALL IMMEDIATELY. *TR

DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON INDICATING A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING. THIS VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO BE DRIVEN OFFROAD IN DUSTY CONDITIONS WHICH IS WHAT CAUSES THE CLOCK SPRING TO FAIL. POOR DESIGN! *TR
