2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

GASOLINE SPLASH BACK WHEN FILLING GAS TANK. THE JEEP WAS IN PARK AND LEVEL. GASOLINE BURPED OUT OF FUEL FILLER TANK TUBE. ALL OVER THE JEEP AND GROUND. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK. ALSO GETS ON CLOTHES.

THE DASHBLIGHTS STARTED ACTING POSSESSED WHILE DRIVING AND WINSHIELD WHIPERA CAME ON WITHOUT BEING ACTIVATED BY SWITCH. NOW THE GUAGES ARE STUCK STRAIGHT UP AND IT WONT SHIFT OUT OF PARK..THE RADIO AND WINDOWS STILL WORK AND THE LIGHTS CONE ON WITHOUT BEING TURNED ON.

WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS AT THE GAS STATION EVEN IF I MANUALLY STOP THE GAS FLOW EARLY THE GAS OVERFLOWS OUT ON TO THE BUMPER AND GROUND. MAJOR GAS SPITBACK!

2008 JEEP WRANGLER HAS HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH TIPM. WIPERS WILL COME ON, HORN WILL SOUND, WASHER FLUID SPRAYS, AND TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT (WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THIS HAPPENS) INTERMITTENTLY AND WILL SOMETIMES CREATE A NO CRANK/NO START CONDITION AFTER THE MALFUNCTION HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND HAS BEEN SHUT OFF. DEFECT HAS BEEN TRACED BACK TO TIPM AND TIPM WAS REPLACED WITH AN AFTERMARKET REMANUFACTURED TIPM. PROBLEM RESOLVED AND NOW HAS REAPPEARED WITH ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS, SUCH AS WHEN VEHICLE IS PUT IN REVERSE WIPERS WILL GO OFF AND ENGINE WILL REV TO HIGHER RPMS THAN NECESSARY TO ALLOW FOR ACCELERATION. THE TIPM DEFECT CREATES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD WHEN IT INTERFERES WITH THE SHIFTING, ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE. MOST RECENT ISSUE WAS 11/09/2020; ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE 06/2019.

WHEN I FILL UP THE VEHICLE, GAS FLOWS BACKWARDS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND POURS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND. THE FUEL ALSO SPLASHES ONTO ME AS WELL. I HAVE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION AND IN PARK.

OVER THE PAST FOUR MONTHS MY JEEP HAS HAD STARTING ISSUES. EVERYTHING IS RUNNING FINE, GO OUTSIDE AND IT WON'T CRANK. SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN OVER OTHER TIMES, NOTHING AT ALL. I'VE HAD IT TOWED, PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY, HAD THE STARTER, ALTERNATOR, ETC. CHECKED AND ALL GOOD. JEEP RUNS GOOD FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND THEN AGAIN THIS MORNING I'M STRANDED. THIS IS GETTING OLD!

ALRIGHT I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA JK. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 2DOOR SOFT TOP. AND I HAVE NOTICED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THERE IS WET CONDITIONS ON ANY CURVY ROAD THAT WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TAKE A CURVE TO THE RIGHT WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL ON THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWN SHIFT AND CAUSE THE BACK TIRES TO SPIN AND LOSE TRACTION WHICH INTURN SENDS THE [XXX] END SIDEWAYS. AND IT DOES IT BOTH UP AND DOWN HILL AND PRETTY MUCH ONLY ON RIGHT TURNS THE PASSENGER SIDE WHICH PUTS THE DRIVER SIDE REAR END INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE A LITTLE. AND I TRULY BELIEVE IF IT WAS A YOUNG DRIVER OR ANYONE THAT HASN'T DROVE ANYTHING WILDLY BEFORE IN THERE LIFE IT COULD CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT. BUT IF YOU TURN THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF IT DON'T DO IT IS BAD IF AT ALL. WHICH MAKES ME THINK IT'S WIRING OR THE COMPUTER AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN ON BACK ROADS AND MT ROADS EVEN TURN ON THE INTERSTATE RAMP. ANY ROAD WHERE YOU REMAIN IN MOTION WITH A DECENT CURVE TO THE RIGHT. ALOT ON THIS WINDING MT ROAD OVER THE RIDGE TO THE NEXT TOWN. IT'S CALLED JOPPA MOUNTAIN. AND IT SIDESTEPS WITH YOU THERE LIKE IT HAS ME QUITE A FEW TIMES, AND YOU ARE NOT ON YOUR GAME IT COULD GET REAL BAD REAL FAST BECAUSE THAT ROAD WINDS BACK AND FORTH ALL THE WAY UP AND BACK DOWN WITH STRAP DROP OFFS THAT YOU WOULD BE PRAYING FOR A TREE TO STOP YOU. ALWAYS WHEN TURNING RIGHT AND SLOWING DOWN WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL ON.

DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND OUT OF NOWHERE THE JEEP STARTED TO DEATH WOBBLE UNTIL I SLOWED TO A STOP THAN WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN

I'VE EXPERIENCED THE 'DEATH WOBBLE' AROUND SEVEN TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR, MAINLY ON SECONDARY ROADS. I TOOK IT TO TWO LOCAL MECHANICS WHO FOUND NO ISSUES. IT HAD YET TO HAVE HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEEDS UNTIL YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS ON INTERSTATE 81 (WHICH I DRIVE DAILY-SPEED LIMIT 70) AND HIT THE BEGINNING OF A BRIDGE AND THE JEEP SHOOK SO VIOLENTLY THAT I HAD TO PULL INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE, BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND TURN MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT THIS POINT. I FEAR NOT ONLY MY SAFETY, BUT THE SAFETY OF OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AROUND ME. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS COMMON AND WAS CONSIDERED TO BE A MANUFACTURING FAULT AND THAT RECALLS WERE BEING ISSUED, BUT WHEN I SEARCHED MY VIN NUMBER, NO RECALLS WERE FOUND.

LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF, DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND NOT RUNNING, KEYS ARE NO WHERE NEAR VEHICLE. BATTERY COMPLETELY DEAD. REPLACED BATTERY. NOT MADE AWARE OF TIPM ISSUE. NEW BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINED. HAD TOWED TO MECHANIC. STARTER, ALTERNATOR, TRANSMISSION, ETC ALL CHECKED AND NO ISSUES. HAD TO DROVE SEVERAL HOURS TO DEALERSHIP TO CONFIRM/FIX TIPM.
