2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 Complaints

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER X RHD. IT HAS TWO ISSUES. 1. THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON BECAUSE THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDS REPLACED IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS COST 500.00 TO FIX. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND DEFINITELY SHOULD BE A RECALL. 2. THE JEEP WON'T START DUE TO A SAFETY MECHANISM IN THE SHIFTER. YOU HAVE TO START THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL. THESE ARE VERY COMMON PROBLEMS AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE COMPANY. I ALSO HAVE A RECALL ON THE STEERING DAMPER..IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE J34 RECALL...THE DEALERSHIP STILL DOESN'T HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT. I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT HELPS IN GETTING THESE ISSUES FIXED. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR

THE FUEL TANK IN MY 2008, 2 DOOR, JEEP WRANGLER JETTISONS FUEL AT EACH FILL-UP. I'M TOLD THE ROLL-OVER VALVE HAS FAILED AND THAT THIS IS COMMON FOR JEEP WRANGLER JKS. IF THE ROLL-OVER VALVE IN THE GAS TANKS IN MOST MODELS OF A VEHICLE ARE DEFECTIVE, SEEMS LIKE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLES FOR PROPER SAFETY REPAIR. *TR

CLOCK SPRING FAILURE AT 35,000 REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, FAILED AGAIN AT 45,000. THE DEALER WANTS $370 TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK NOW. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT EVERY 10,000 MILES. *TR

WHEN DRIVING OVER 50MPH IN MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER IF I HIT CERTAIN POTHOLES OR EXPANSION JOINTS ON THE HIGHWAY, THE WHOLE JEEP STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY TO THE POINT WHERE I LOSE CONTROL AND DRIVERS AROUND ME PULL OFF THE ROAD WHEN THEY SEE WHAT MY JEEP IS DOING. I HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP SHAKING AND IT ONLY DOES SO ONCE I AM ABLE TO BRING IT TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT SEEMS MANY JEEP WRANGLERS DO IT. IT IS CALLED "DEATH WOBBLE" AND JEEP/CHRYSLER WILL NOT FIX IT. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY FAMILY IN. *TR

THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE E- BRAKE. THE BRAKE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED IN THE PAST BY THE DEALER. THE CAR ROLLS WITH THE E-BRAKE ON AND IN FIRST GEAR UNLESS THE BRAKE IS PULLED UP EXTREMELY TIGHT. *TR

I WAS FUELING MY 2008 2D JEEP RUBICON, THE AUTO-FILL LEVER ON THE GAS PUMP CLICK TO STOP FILLING, THEN GAS OVERFLOWED THE TANK. ABOUT 1 CUP OF GAS WENT ALL OVER BUMPER, SIDE OF JEEP AND MY SHOES. THIS HAS SINCE HAPPENED AT EVERY FUEL STATION EVERYTIME. *TR

TL*-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH A BANGING SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE, FOLLOWED BY A DECREASE IN THE ENGINE POWER. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED IN OPERATION TO THE RESIDENCE, AND UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 40,000.

I PURCHASED A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS THE PUMP DOES NOT SHUT OFF AND IT SPILLS OVER. THIS HAPPENS WEEKLY, EVERY TIME I'M AT THE PUMP. CHRYSLER/JEEP WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR. I RECENTLY NOTICED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" OCCASIONALLY AT AROUND 40 MPH. WHILE DRIVING MY YOUNG SON, ALL WAS FINE AND SMOOTH AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FRONT END STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND BANGING AROUND. IT STEERED ITSELF OFF THE ROAD, LUCKILY INTO A PARKING LOT, BUT I WAS STILL GOING ABOUT 35 MPH. I HAD TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET IT STOPPED BEFORE SLAMMING INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION OF THE FRONT END, I FOUND THAT MY FRONT TRAC BAR BRACKET WELDS HAD BROKEN FROM THE FRONT AXLE. HAD I BEEN IN A CURVE, THE FRONT AXLE WOULD HAVE SLID OUT FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE! THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC AND WOULD HAVE TOTALED THE JEEP AND MOST LIKELY CAUSED SERIOUS INJURIES. I HAVE SINCE SPOKEN TO A COUPLE OF BUDDIES THAT HAVE THE SAME MODEL WRANGLERS. THEY BOTH HAD THE SAME ISSUE! I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND IT MUST HAVE BEEN A FREAK DEAL. THIS IS THE SAME RESPONSE MY BUDDIES GOT FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP! *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER WAS RECALLED DUE TO OVERHEATING FLUID IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THE "SOLUTION" PROVIDED BY JEEP IS TO ADD A WARNING LIGHT/CHIME TO ALERT THE DRIVER OF HIGH TRANSMISSION FLUID TEMPERATURE. SINCE THE OVERHEATED OIL CAN OVERFLOW FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND IGNITE POTENTIALLY CAUSING CATASTROPHIC FIRE, I DO NOT FEEL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ADDRESSED PROPERLY. THE APPROPRIATE FIX FOR THE PROBLEM IS TO INSTALL AN AUXILIARY COOLER FOR THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. SUCH A COOLER COULD PREVENT THE OVERHEATING OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND, THEREBY, PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION OR POSSIBLE FIRES. THE RECALL "FIX" BY JEEP HAS NOT REPAIRED THE PROBLEM AND DOES NOT REMEDY THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE.
