2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 Complaints

MY RHD JEEP WRANGLER HAS EXPERIENCED A FAILURE IN THE PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON RANDOMLY. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. LOOKING INTO IT FURTHER ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS, I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR JEEPS. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE SYSTEM IS NON-FUNCTIONAL AND LEAVES THE PASSENGERS WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF THE AIR BAGS. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY VEHICLE UP WITH FUEL, AT THE END OF THE FILL UP, FUEL COMES GUSHING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK NECK, AFTER THE PUMP HAS PERFORMED ITS AUTO SHUTOFF. AT LEAST 1 - 2 CUPS OF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE GROUND EVERY TIME THIS OCCURS. THE DEALER SAID THAT I SHOULD IDLE AT THE PUMP FOR 60-90 SECONDS BEFORE PERFORMING A FILL UP. I HAVE ATTEMPTED THIS AND IT HAS NO EFFECT ON THE FLUE GUSHING OUT OF THE TANK. *TR

WHEN REFUELING, GAS OVERFLOWS FROM FILLER NECK WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN CONSIDERING GASOLINE SPRAYS NOT ONLY ON THE VEHICLE BUT ON MY FEET AND HANDS AS WELL. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE WEB TO FIND THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH JEEP OWNERS WITH A BROAD RANGE OF MODEL YEAR WRANGLERS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION ONE WEEK AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRENCE. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

FUEL OVERFLOWS DURING FILLUP CAUSES SPILLED GASOLINE ON THE VEHICLE AND ALSO ON THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS AT MULTIPLE FUEL STATIONS RULING OUT GAS PUMP AS DEFECTIVE. THE FUEL SYSTEM APPEARS TO NOT SIGNAL THE PUMP TO STOP PUMPING GAS WHEN FULL. *TR

1. EVERY TIME I GET GAS MY GAS TANK ON MY 08 JEEP WRANGLER OVERFLOWS. 2. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I GET GAS. IT CAUSES ME TO SPILL GAS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY JEEP AND ON THE GROUND. 3. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT DO ANYTHING SINCE I AM 10K PAST MY WARRANTY. *TR

2008 JK WRANGLER BOUGHT NEW, NO ACCIDENTS 45,000 MILES. EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, GAS SPEWS OUT ALL OVER THE JEEP AND GROUND SEEMS I CANNOT FILL IT SLOW ENOUGH TO STOP THIS. IT HAPPENS 90% OF FILL UPS AT MULTIPLE PUMPS SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD. GASCAP LIGHT IS ON EVEN WITH THE CAP TIGHT. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) WAITING OVER 5 MONTHS TO REPAIR A RECALL NOTICE FORM JEEP. I CALLED THE DEALER MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER, THEY CALLED BACK 1ST WEEK IN DECEMBER, STATING PARTS WERE IN AND TO COME IN AND THEY WOULD FIX IT. WHEN I ARRIVED THEY STATED THEY DID NOT HAVE ALL THE PARTS AND I WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK. I AM STILL WAITING. IT IS THE TOWING SYSTEM, JEEP STATES THAT YOU SHOULD NOT TOW UNTIL IT IS REPLACE. I HAVE CHECK EACH MONTH AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME NO PARTS ARE BEING MADE YET AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS THEY GET THEM. NOW I HAVE A SECOND RECALL AND THIS ONE IS FOR THE TRASMISSION, WELL THIS ONE TAKE FOREVER TO REPAIR. [XXX] *TR

MY 2008 JEEP JK RUBICON SPEWS GAS AND EJECTS THE GAS PUMP WHEN IT REACHES CAPACITY. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYTIME, BUT EVERY THIRD TIME. I NOW HAVE TO "GAUGE" HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK AND STOP IT BEFORE IT FILLS UP. WHEN IT OVERFLOWS, NEARLY A PINT TO TWO PINTS SPEW OUT ALL OVER MY JEEP, GAS STATION FLOOR AND SEVERAL TIMES OVER MYSELF. THIS IS A SERIOUS HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. IMAGINE SOMEONE LIGHTING A CIGARETTE AFTER A FUEL UP FORGETTING HE JUST GOT GASOLINE ON HIM. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER X. LATELY WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS. I'VE HAD THE JEEP SINCE SEPTEMBER 2007. THE LAST 4 FILLUPS THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AT MULTIPLE STATIONS. IT OVERFLOWS IF I HOLD IT MANUALLY, OR USE THE LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE FUEL GUN. IT OVERFILLS EVEN WHEN IT "CLICKS" OFF. THIS HAS TO BE DANGEROUS. I AM NOW IN THE HABIT OF PUTTING IN LESS GAS SO AS NOT TO DEAL WITH GASOLINE SPILLING OUT OF MY TANK AND ALL DOWN MY FENDERS AND BUMPERS. THIS IS NOT SAFE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OUT THERE. CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. GASOLINE FUMES AND CARS ARE NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. *TR
