2008 JEEP WRANGLER Complaints

STEERING WHEEL IS LOST GOES ALL OVER THE ROAD SHIFTS BAD RPM GOES UP TO 5 HOT OIL LIGHTS COMES ON

MANUAL TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR WHEN IN MOTION. SERVICE BULLETIN (21-001-10) DEALER WON'T REPAIR. FLAGLER CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP, PALM COAST FLORIDA.

TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS... CHRYSLER WON'T FIX THE ACTUAL PROBLEM..THEY JUST RECALLED THE VEHICLE TO HAVE A DUMMY LIGHT INSTALLED ON YOUR DASH..TURN YOUR VEHICLE OFF AND LET IT COOL DOWN..BY THAT TIME WHEN IT OVER HEATS..IT'S ALREADY JUNK..42RLE ARE JUNK! WE THE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FIX AND DIAGNOSIS THERE MISTAKE. BETWEEN THE WIRING AND THE TRANSMISSION..IT'S HELL...YOUR EITHER GOING TO BURN BECAUSE OF FAULTY WIRES THEY NEVER DID A RECALL ON AND IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET...SAME PROBLEMS. OR YOUR GOING TO KEEP THROWING A BUNCH OF MONEY INTO A POS THAT WILL NEVER TRULY BE FIXED! THROWS ALL KINDS OF CODES BECAUSE OF THE TRANNY OVERHEATING. IF YOU INSTALL A AFTERMARKET COOLER TO TRY TO FIX THE OVERHEATING ISSUE IT VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY...WHICH IS NO GOOD ANYWAYS..BECAUSE THE DON'T EVEN STAND BEHIND THAT! HOPE THEY GO BANKRUPT 😁

I AM EXPERIENCING A RECURRING ISSUE THAT APPEARS TO BE THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM). EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES HAYWIRE, FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES AND THEN IS FINE. IN RESEARCHING THIS, I AM FINDING THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON JEEP VEHICLES OF THAT TIME PERIOD. IT MOST RECENTLY OCCURRED TODAY, ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED FOR ABOUT THE LAST 2 YEARS, SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V290000 (AIR BAGS) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTIFICATION IN MARCH OF 2019. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND BEEPED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH HILLER JEEP RAM DODGE CHRYSLER (635 MILL STREET, MARION, MA 02738, (508) 538-1395) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,555. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT THE WIPERS, WASHER FLUID, LIGHTS INCLUDING REVERSE LIGHTS AND HORN CAME ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. ENGINE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. AFTER DOING A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THIS AND THEY ALL CONCLUDED THAT IT WAS THE TIPM. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND I WOULD SAY IT HAPPENS EVERY OTHER WEEK.

JEEP HAS MIND OF ITS OWN. NO START, NO HEADLIGHTS, WIPERS WORK ON THEIR OWN AND SPRAY ALL FLUID. JEEP SHUTS OFF DRIVING, THEN CANT SHUT ENGINE OFF WITH KEY.

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN YOU SLOW TO TURN A SLIGHT CURVE AND PRESS BRAKES THE JEEP GOES INTO A UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKE IN THE ENTIRE FRONT END. YOU CAN NOT STOP IT BY APPLYING BRAKES BECAUSE IT MAKES IT WORSE. YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE SHAKE AND IT EVEN SHAKES THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHOLE FRONT END OF THE JEEP. EVENTUALLY IT PULLS OUT OF IT AFTER SEVERAL FEET BUT YOU FEEL THE WHOLE FRONT END IS GONG TO COME OFF THE SHAKE IS THAT VIOLENT. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED MY VEHICLE TRYING TO HOLD IT ON THE ROAD WHILE TURNING AND HAD OTHER CARS ALMOST PLOW ME FROM THE BACK. IT IS VERY SCAREY AND YOU HAVE NO WARNING WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLER HOLE AFTER AUTO-STOP FILLER NOZZLE SHUTS OFF.!!

WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS REMAIN ON ALONG WITH A RED LIGHT THAT LOOKS LIKE LIGHTING BOLT. REPLACED BATTERY. NEW ENGINE. NEW RADIATOR. NEW PIN. EVERYTHING THAT WAS FOUND ON DIAGNOSTIC CHECK REPLACED. STILL PAYING FOR CAR. NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT. HAS A DANGEROUS DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE MADE. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. CANNOT GET PLATES FOR JEEP THAT EILL NEVER PASS INSPECTION. WHAT CAN I DO .
