2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 Complaints

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TK HOLDINGS INC SAYING THAT I HAVE TAKATA AIRBAG INFILTRATORS IN MY VEHICLE THAT CONTAINS "PHASE-STABILIZED AMMONIUM NITRATE PROPELLANT" THAT CAN RUPTURE CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. I ONLY HAVE UNTIL DEC 27TH TO FILE A COMPLAINT, BECAUSE THEY FILED BANKRUPTCY AND WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE AFTER THAT DATE. PLEASE ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE RECALL LIST SO I CAN GET THIS FIXED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT IS FINE SINCE IT ISN'T ON THE RECALL LIST. THEY CAN'T FIX THEM THANK YOU

WHILE DRIVING, THE HORN, LIGHTS AND WIPERS RANDOMLY GO OFF AND SPRAY FLUID EVERYWHERE. NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO STOP IT AND EVEN TURNING THE CAR OFF DOESN'T. IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS SINCE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY MY HORN IS GOING OFF FOR MINUTES AT A TIME. I DON'T WANT TO BE BEHIND SOMEONE AT AN INTERSECTION WITH MY HORN AND WIPERS GOING OFF. LOOKING ONLINE I CAN SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND SHOULD BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

THE JEEP'S HORN, WIPER BLADES, WIPER FLUID AND HEADLIGHTS GO OFF BY THEMSELVES EVEN WHEN THE KEY IS NOT IN THE IGNITION. THEN THE JEEP BEGAN CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TWICE TO THE DEALER, MORITZ, IN FORT WORTH AND WAS TOLD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG PROBLEM WAS FIXED BUT ACCORDING TO THIS SITE IT HAS NOT. I'M STILL AWAITING NOTIFICATION THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG PARTS TO COME IN TO GET THAT PROBLEM RESOLVED.

MOUNTING BRACKETS ON MIRRORS DETERIORATED. DRIVER SIDE FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING ABOUT A YEAR AGO. TODAY MY PASSENGER MIRROR FELL OFF IN TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE METAL ON THE BRACKET ALMOST LOOKS ROTTEN AND PITTED.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE MIRRORS HAVE BOTH FAILED. METAL HOUSING HAS CORRODED AND FAILED. DRIVER SIDE MIRROR HAD VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING, WHEN EXAMINING THE MIRROR IT BROKE OFF (IN FALL OF 2016). PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON SECONDARY ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH, NOTHING HIT THE MIRROR TO CAUSE IT TO FAIL. COULD HAVE HIT ANOTHER CAR AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD.. FAILURE APPEARS TO BE CORROSION OF ALUMINUM STRUCTURE AND POSSIBLE STEEL POST THAT HOLDS THE MIRROR. THERE WAS A LOT OF WHITE CORROSION OR MINERAL BUILD UP ON THE REMAINING ALUMINUM. HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE NEW, USED PRIMARILY IN MASSACHUSETTS.

GOT INTO THE JEEP, STARTED AND PLACED INTO REVERSE, SUDDENLY, WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING AND RANDOMLY THE HORN STARTS GOING OFF, WIPER FLUID SHOOTING OUT AND THE WIPERS GOING LIKE CRAZY, AIR CONDITIONER NOT WORKING AND RADIO BLASTING AND GOING QUIET. . NOTHING YOU CAN DO WILL MAKE IT STOP, THIS WILL BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSSUE IF IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS MAKES IT A PROBLEM TO BE DRIVING THIS CAR, AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THE WIPERS AND HORN WILL START GOING CRAZY. I HAVE READ MANY POSTS THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL??? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE JEEP CONCEDE THIS IS A PROBLEM?

LAST YEAR (2016) I HAD A PIECE OF PLASTIC (LOOKS LIKE TAPE) COMING OUT BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND STEERING COLUMN WHILE DRIVING ON OUR LOCAL STREET. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS WIRES AT FIRST. THIS WIRE 'TAPE' EVENTUALLY BROKE WHICH MEANS YOU DON'T HAVE A WORKING AIRBAG, HORN, ETC. BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL GARAGE LAST FALL (2016) AND WAS TOLD THE CLOCK SPRING CAUSED THIS AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT. PUT THE JEEP IN THE GARAGE FOR THE WINTER AND TODAY (3/2/2017) CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. AFTER GIVING THEM THE VIN # I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL DIDN'T APPLY TO MY JEEP WRANGLER. BTW IT ONLY HAD 40,920 MILES ON IT!

TAKATA RECALL: WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 50MPH OR HIGHER, IF THE JEEP HITS A SMALL BUMP, THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE, ONLY STOPPING THE VEHICLE MAKES IT COME TO A STOP. THIS EXTREME WOBBLE MAKES CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT, WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SEVERE HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN ANY TYPE OF INCLEMENT WEATHER.THIS HAS REQUIRED ME TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES, WHICH IN ITSELF IS ALSO A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE 2 TIMES WITH IN THE FIRST 6 WEEK OF PURCHASE AND THEN THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE SENT IT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP WHICH IT HAS BEEN THERE 3 TIME IN A 2 MONTH PERIOD IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE REPLACED MY STEERING DAMPENER,SWAY BAR LINK, TRACK BAR, BUSHING, BALANCED MY TIRES, AND REPLACED ANY IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH HAS NOT TO THIS POINT. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM- CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS NOT A RECALL!

TANK OVERFLOWS WITH FUEL EVERYTIME I FILL IT UP WITH FUEL CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE.
