2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

AS I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP THE AIRBAG DRIVER WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. I AM WORRIED THAT MY AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING AND MAY NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE CASE MAY DEPLOY ON IT OWN. I CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. OFFICE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE EXCEPT TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THERE IS A RECALL ON RHD JEEPS FOR 2008 BUT NOT THE LHD'S. *TR

VEHICLE WILL NOT START. TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION CAUSES A CLICK. ELECTRICAL IS WORKING, AS ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE ON AND BRIGHT. BY PUSHING ON THE TRANSMISSION LEVER OR MOVING IT INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK THE VEHICLE WILL THEN START. THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A SPECIFIC CONDITION (HOT OR COLD) THAT MAKES THIS BETTER OR WORSE. *TR

WHILE ON MY NORMAL DAILY DRIVE HOME FROM WORK, THE AIRBAG WARNING DASH LAMP ILLUMINATED WITH CHIME. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY TURNING ON AND OFF AND CHIMING WITH THE TURNING OF MY STEERING WHEEL. WHICH I BELIEVE IS DIRECTLY RELATED WITH THE WELL KNOWN CLOCK SPRING ISSUE THAT HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR JEEP MODELS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. UPON READING THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, ITS NOT A MATTER OF IF, BUT WHEN WILL THIS PART FAIL... *TR

2ND BAD AIR BAG/ STEERING CLOCK SPRING FAILURE THAT CAUSES AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME ON AND DISABLE AIRBAGS ON VEHICLE. SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE, WHICH USES THE SAME PART AS THE LEFT HAND DRIVE. MY FIRST ONE WENT OUT AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES AND WAS WARRANTIED. THIS TIME AT 65,000 MILES, IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM, BUT IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT HAS DISABLED THE SAFETY DEVICES OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE HAD MANY TIMES WHERE I GET IN TO START MY JEEP AND IT JUST CLICKS AND DASH-LIGHTS COME ON...I HAVE FOUND THAT IF YOU PUSH ON THE GEAR SHIFT UPWARD TO PARK AND THEN TRY THE KEY IT STARTS, IT WORKS EVERY TIME. *TR

WHILE DRIVING I EXPERIENCED SHAKING IN MY FRONT END THAT CAUSE ME TO PULL OFF THE OFF. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I CAN SAFELY SAY IT KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THIS PROBLEM IS RIDICULOUS AND NO ONE CARES TO MAKE JEEP FIX THIS PROBLEM. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DYING FOR YOU AND JEEP TO WAKE UP AND HAVE THIS ADDRESSED. YOU SUCK AND SO DOES JEEP. *TR

CLOCKSPRING WENT OUT OF NO WHERE. HAD ISSUES WITH TURN SIGNALS SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT 2 1/2 YEARS AGO. DEALER COST $470. *TR

THIS HAPPENED ON 76TH ST NORTH, BETWEEN WHIRLPOOL DR AND LAKEWOOD AVE. OWASSO, OK. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, AT T 5:45 AM, I SMELLED SMOKE, LOOKED OUT MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND SAW A ORANGE GLOW. I OPENED THE DOOR AND SAW FLAMES COMING OUT FROM THE ENGINE. I STOPPED, GOT OUT AND CALLED 911. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. FOLLOWING UP ON THIS ISSUE, SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING AND THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER SINCE THE SAME FAULTY PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED WITH THE 2007 WRANGLERS. APPARENTLY THIS ISSUE WAS NEVER RESOLVED. MY LOCAL MECHANIC EVEN TOLD ME ABOUT THE FAULTY CLOCK SPRING ISSUE AND WONDERS WHY IT HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS. *TR
