2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

MYSELF, SPOUSE, AND CHILDREN WERE GOING TO DINNER AND I'M ON CRUISE AT 50 AND A VIOLENT VIBRATION BEGINS TO OCCUR. I HAVE RESEARCHED IT AND IT IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND IT IS BAD. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED BY YOU ON THIS. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DYING FOR YOU TO ISSUE ONE. MINE CAUSED ME TO ALMOST WRECK HEAD ON AND THERE WOULD PROBABLY BE KIDS WITHOUT PARENTS TODAY IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A WRECK HEAD ON. PLEASE CONSIDER ISSUING A RECALL ON THIS AND MAKE THE MANUFACTURER'S FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT'S NOT LIKE WE CAN GO OUT AND TRADE IT IN OR PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. YES WE HAVE JOBS, BUT WE HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF BEING PARENTS AND PAYING BILLS TO, AND ARE BECOMING PARENTS AGAIN EARLY NEXT YEAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE TO FIXED BY THE COMPANY. *TR

THE CLOCK SPRING ON THESE VEHICLES ARE NOTORIOUS FOR BEING FAULTY. CHRYSLER RECALLED RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEPS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS DISABLES THE HORN THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE AIRBAG, AND THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL. ALL VERY IMPORTANT ISSUES IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. NOW IT'S ON ALL THE TIME WHEN I DRIVE EXCEPT WHEN I MAKE A RIGHT TURN. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUALLY COMES ON AND OFF, INDICATION OF A CLOCK SPRING FAILURE AS IDENTIFIED IN CHRYSLER RECALL M31, HOWEVER THAT RECALL FOR SOME REASON ONLY COVERS RHD VEHICLES. MY STANDARD 2008 LHD VEHICLE HAS THE SAME SYMPTOM, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER WRANGLER OWNERS. *TR

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. I LOOSE AT LEAST 12 OUNCES. *TR

"ON THE 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.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING." *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AN OFF. I HAD IT CHECKED AT THE DEALER AND THEY STATED IT WAS THE CLOCKSPRING THAT WAS BAD. THIS IS NOT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY OR MY LIFETIME ADDED CARE PLUS WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED. THIS IS A SAFETY ITEM AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER. *TR
