2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

ON MY 2008 JEEP 4DR 4X4 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

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY IT STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES THE LAST AFTER A RECENT TIRE ROTATION WAS PERFORMED TO HELP CORRECT THE INITIAL INCIDENT. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE WEB AND IT IS COMMON WITH WRANGLERS AND HAD I KNOWN WOULD NEVER DROVE THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO HAVING IT FIXED. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS WHILE MY WIFE HAD THE VEHICLE AND NEARLY LOST CONTROL ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

EVERY TIME FUEL IS PLACED INTO THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL FILLER NECK WILL SPIT FUEL OUT ONTO THE DRIVER OR AROUND THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THIS STARTED OCCURRING IN SEPTEMBER 2013 AND HAS BEEN CONSISTENT WITH EVERY TIME FUEL IS PUT INTO THE VEHICLE. ONCE I BEGAN RESEARCHING THIS I FOUND IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL JEEP WRANGLERS. I ALSO FOUND THAT CHRYSLER ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON 2007 AND 2008 JEEP WRANGLERS, UP TO MARCH 31, 2008. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN APRIL 2008 SO I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THIS WARRANTY WORK. THE FIX SEEMS TO BE A FUEL NECK WITH A CHECK VALVE IN IT. PART CNNNX321AC. MY JEEP EVEN THOUGH IS WAS MANUFACTURED AFTER THEIR WARRANTY DATE, STILL HAS THE OLD PART ON IT THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS IN THE FIRST PLACE. GOD FORBID ANYONE EVER GETS INJURED BY THIS. SHAME ON CHRYSLER AND SHAME ON NHTSA FOR NOT TAKING ANY ACTION. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND ALARM WARNING GOES ON AND OFF. ON LONGER STRAIGHT AWAY IT WILL TURN OFF BUT AS SOON AS I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL 45-90 DEGREES THE ALARM AND LIGHT COME ON. VERY CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY WITHOUT COLLISION. I'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT 2007-2008 JEEP WRANGLERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE CLOCK SPRING MECHANISM/ELECTRICAL BOARD IN THE STEERING COLUMN. *TR

GAS SPEWS OUT AND DOES NOT SHUT OFF CORRECTLY WHEN TANK IS FULL. KEEPS SHUTTING OFF GAS WHEN IT IS NOT FULL CAUSING IT TO TAKE AN EXTREMELY LONG TIME TO FILL, BUT WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN TANK IS FULL AND WILL SPIT BACK GAS AND OVER FLOW. *TR

I HAVE BEEN HAVING A ISSUE WITH THE CLOCKSPRING IN THE VEHICLE. MY AIRBAGS DO NOT WORK NOR DOES MY HORN AND SOMETIMES SIGNAL WILL NOT OPERATE OR STAY ON AND CANNOT SHUT THEM OFF AND EVEN MY HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON, ALL TO ME MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY SAY THAT THE LIFETIME WARRANTY THAT I HAVE ON THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERING THIS PART CALLED A CLOCKSPRING FOR MY MAKE AND YEAR OF THIS JEEP, BUT ONLY IN A RIGHT HAND DRIVEN CONFIGURATION. AFTER HEARING FROM MANY WRANGLER OWNERS AND READING HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF ONLINE POST AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCES FORM OTHERS OWNING THESE JEEPS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES AND JEEP WILL NOT REPLACE IT AT ALL UNTIL, AS TOLD TO ME FROM JEEP, THE NHTSA FORCES US TOO. THAT IS WHY I AM EMAILING/CONTACTING YOU ALL. 1000'S OF US JEEP OWNERS ARE TIRED OF PAYING $500 PLUS TO GET A PART REPLACED THAT EVEN JEEP HAS ACKNOWLEDGED IS BAD OR WILL GO BAD. I'M FURIOUS ABOUT THIS AND WANT SOME TYPE OF ACTION TAKEN. IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, I HAVE NO AIRBAG SAFETY PROTECTION, NOR ABLE TO USE MY HORN OR SIGNALS MANY OF TIMES. ALL MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME AND THE OTHER 1000'S OF JEEP OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO FOR ME. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS JEEP SINCE EARLY MAY OF 2013. WHENEVER I GO TO THE GAS STATION AND FILL THE TANK GAS ALWAYS OVERFLOWS FROM THE FILLING NECK. WHEN PUMPING GAS WHEN THE TANK REACHES FULL THERE IS A BUBBLE EFFECT AND YOU CAN EFFECTIVELY HEAR THE FILLER NECK BURP THEN IT SPEWS FUEL ALL OVER THE GROUND, SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ANYONE STANDING CLOSE TO THE FUEL DOOR. *TR
