2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 Complaints

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR HARDTOP WITH 30,000 MILES. EVERYTIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION, THE GAS NOZZLE INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF PROPERLY, IT SPEWS GAS FROM THE TANK ALL OVER THE GROUND. THE GAS RUNS ALL DOWN MY PAINT AND ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER WILL SPILL GAS OUT ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK IF I HOLD THE NOZZLE ON ANYTHING ABOVE ABOUT A QUARTER OPEN. AS IT NEARS FULL, THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND THEN WHOOSH, OUT COMES ABOUT A QUART OF GAS, SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE AND ONTO THE PARKING LOT. IT DID NOT DO THIS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT. IT STARTED DOING THIS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I NEVER CONTACTED THE DEALER AS MY WARRANTY IS UP. I REALLY DIDN'T GIVE THIS MUCH THOUGHT AS I HAVE LEARNED IF I JUST TRICKLE THE LAST FEW GALLONS IN, IT ONLY HAPPENS TO ME ABOUT 25% OF THE TIME. HOWEVER, AFTER STUMBLING ACROSS A JEEP FORUM ON THE INTERNET AND FINDING OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM, I REALIZE THAT SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED BY AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE EVENTUALLY. *TR

GAS PUMP FREQUENTLY DOES NOT DISENGAGE AFTER TANK IS FULL CAUSING GASOLINE TO SPRAY OVER VEHICLE AND ON TO GROUND. *TR

EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE VEHICLE GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER OVERFLOWS DURING EACH GAS FILL UP. SHUTS OFF ONLY AFTER GAS IS OVER FLOWING FROM GAS FILL PIPE. *TR

I PURCHASE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER AS AN OFF ROAD VEHICLE. THE MODEL HAS A KEY RECOGNITION KEY AND IN THIS LAST YEAR HAS FAILED TWICE. BOTH TIMES WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALER, REPLACE THE WCM, AND REPROGRAM THE KEY. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS: FORTUNATELY I WAS IN EDMONTON BOTH TIMES THE WCM FAILED. IF IT HAD BEEN ONE MONTH EARLIER I WAS 50 MILES IN THE BUSH WITH AN 80 YEAR OLD DIABETIC. NO CELL PHONE ACCESS. THERE IS NO MANUAL OVERRIDE FOR THIS VEHICLE THEREFORE YOU ARE STRANDED. IT SHOULD NOT BE MARKETED AS AN OFF ROAD VEHICLE UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. *TR

CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL J24, MOPAR TOW BAR. THERE APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITHIN CHRYSLER/JEEP ABILITY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL AFFECTS ONLY 308 UNITS THE REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE. DEALERS ARE RESTRICTED TO ORDERING ONLY ONE REPAIR KIT PER WEEK. THE DEALER KNOWS NOTHING THE CHRYSLER HOT LINE ASSURED ME (AFTER I INQUIRED ABOUT THE REPAIR) THAT THE REPAIR KIT FOR MY VEHICLE WOULD BE SENT TO THE DEALER. THEY ANSWERED MY QUESTION OF WHEN BY SAYING THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THE KIT WOULD BE SENT. GREAT. NO MORE VACATION TRAVEL PULLING A JEEP BEHIND THE RV UNTIL THE KIT FINALLY COMES IN. IT APPEARS THAT NOTIFICATION OF A PROBLEM AND SOLVING THE PROBLEM ARE NOT ONE IN THE SAME. *TR

FUEL TANK OVERFLOW. WHEN REFILLING FROM EMPTY, THE TANK WILL SPRAY FUEL OUT THE FILLER SPOUT AFTER THE PUMP SHOTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. DEALER HAS REPLACED THE EVAP CANISTER AND ESSIM VALVE AND RESULTS ARE THE SAME. IT STILL "BURPS" FUEL OUT AND MAKES A MESS. *TR

STOCK JEEP 2008 WRANGLER X 29,000 MILES HAS J.O.G. VIOLENTLY JUMPS OUT OF GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING IN FIRST GEAR. SWEAR YOU WERE REAR ENDED BY A CAR THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENS. EXPECT TO FIND THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION IS LAYING ON THE STREET. JEEP CLAIMS IS A SOFT BOOT PROBLEM AND THEN IF THAT DOESN'T FIX IT THEY REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION. THE CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS TRYING TO MAKE A YIELDING TURN ON GREEN. I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED GETTING T-BONED WHEN I HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE MIDDLE OF A 5 LANE ROAD. HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIME AT A GREEN LIGHT BECAUSE IT WILL ACCELERATE NORMALLY FOR A SECOND AND THEN VIOLENTLY POP OUT OF GEAR BRINGING THE JEEP TO A HALT. GEAR SHIFT POPPED OUT AND JAMMED MY MIDDLE FINGER ON MY HAND SO BAD IT STILL HURTS 3 WEEKS LATER. STARTED HAPPENING AFTER MY DEATH WOBBLE EXPERIENCE AT 29000 MILES. LOOKING AROUND THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH 6 SPEED MANUAL SINCE THE NEW MODEL CAME OUT IN 2007. ENGINEERING FLAW. TRANNY SHOULD NEVER POP OUT OF GEAR UNDER LOAD UNLESS THERE IS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. JEEP CLAIMS THE TRANNY IS FINE AND INSTALL A NEW SOFT BOOT. THANKS JEEP/CHRYSLER. *TR

JEEP IS A STOCK 2DR 4X4 JEEP WRANGLER X WITH 28500 MILES ON IT WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON A COUPLE OF DIRT ROADS BUT NO OFF ROAD USAGE. WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CURVE ON LOOP 470 IN DENVER AT 65MPH, MY JEEP BEGAN TO AGGRESSIVELY "WOBBLE" JACKHAMMER AND THROW JEEP FROM TIRE TO TIRE SIDE TO SIDE LITERALLY JUMPING INCHES OFF THE PAVEMENT. IT WAS JUMPING FROM FRONT RIGHT TIRE TO REAR LEFT TIRE TO FRONT LEFT. BACK AND FORTH 1 TIRE WAS ON THE GROUND WHILE THE OTHER THREE TIRES YOUR COULD FEEL LITERALLY JUMPING OFF THE ROAD AND HAD NO CONTACT WITH PAVEMENT. VERY SCARY. ALL VEHICLE CONTROL LOST AT THIS TIME. MANUAL STICK WAS ACTUALLY BEING THROWN SO VIOLENTLY LEFT AND RIGHT I COULD NOT GRAB IT TO THROW IN NEUTRAL AND STOP THE VEHICLE. BRAKING SYSTEM HAD VERY LITTLE EFFECT SINCE ALL WHEELS BUT ONE WERE OFF THE PAVEMENT. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO 45MPH AND THE DEATH WOBBLE MYSTERIOUSLY STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL ENOUGH TO PULL OF THE FREEWAY AND INSPECT THE VEHICLE. I DISCOVERED A LITTLE SNOW AROUND THE TIREWELL BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING THAT SHOULD CAUSE THIS VIOLENT OF A REACTION. VERY DANGEROUS BEEN DRIVING FOR 23 YEARS AND NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. *TR
