2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER AT ABOUT 35-40 MPH OVER A ROUGH SPOT ON THE ROAD, I EXPERIENCED HORRIBLE FRONT END SHAKE THAT I COULD NOT CONTROL UNTIL I PULLED THE CAR OVER. I'M VERY LUCKY THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE IN FRONT OR IN BACK OF ME BECAUSE I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I LOOKED INTO THIS ONLINE AND HAVE LEARNED IT'S CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND IT'S HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS. *TR

AT 13K MILES I WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR A NEW CLUTCH. THIS IS MY SECOND JEEP, SO I CLEARLY KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IT. AT THIS LOW MILEAGE THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE AND HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS. JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. JEEP REFUSED TO EVEN DISCUSS THE MATTER. WHEN I RETURNED A CALL IN THEIR FINDINGS I WAS REPEATEDLY READ THE E-MAIL I SENT AND NOTHING WAS EXPLAINED. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE LOANER OVER THE WEEKEND, THEN TRIED TO FORCE ME TO PAY FOR IT. THE CLUTCH EXPLODED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THERE IS A POORLY DESIGNED BRACKET RIGHT BEHIND THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS HEAD. THE BRACKET HAS A SHARP METAL CORNER RIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS HEADS. IF THERE EVEN SMALL ACCIDENT, THERE WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT TRAUMA TO THE HEAD IF THEY WERE TO HIT THE BRACKET. CURRENTLY THIS BRACKET IS ONLY COVERED BY A STYROFOAM PIECE. THIS BRACKET SITS RIGHT ON THE ROLL BAR AND CAN EASILY BE FIXED THE TRAUMA THAT INDIVIDUALS WOULD GET FROM THIS BRACKET WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT. IT IS LOCATED RIGHT NEXT TO THE PLASTIC SOUND BAR UNDERNEATH SOME STYROFOAM. *TR

WINDSHIELD CRACKED ON MY 2008 JK WRANGLER. RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE, SEEMS AS IF THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR

EXCESSIVE FRONT END WOBBLE, WHEEL HOP AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35-65 MPH WHEN ENCOUNTERING SMALL CHANGES IN ROAD SURFACE(IE. SLIGHT POTHOLE, EXPANSION JOINT, RIPPLING OF ROAD). ALSO KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE AMONG JEEP OWNERS AND DEALERS. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS A FUTURE FAILURE. I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. AT THE TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT, MY VEHICLE HAS 18,000 MILES. THE TORSION BAR ON THE FRONT END, IS WORN OUT. FELLOW OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THIS PROBLEM. BEING A STEERING ISSUE, IT COULD LEAD TO SEVERE INJURIES IN THE FUTURE. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

SOFT TOP LEAKS ON BOTH SIDE IN THE FRONT. SEATS GETTING STAINED AND THE CARPET IS STARTING TO SMELL. WATER STAINS ON THE DOORS, STEERING COLUMN, AND DOWN THE DASH. *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY NEW 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA ON THE HIGHWAY , THE HOOD SEEMS LOSE AS IT "MOVES" AROUND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IF THERE IS A WIND THE HOOD POPS UP A FEW INCHES. ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY A BIG TRANSPORT TRUCK WENT BY IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND I SWEAR THE HOOD JUMPED UP 6 INCHES. CHRYSLER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. WHAT IS SO NORMAL ABOUT THE HOOD THREATENING TO OPEN? WHAT ABOUT IN A FEW YEARS WHEN THE (RUBBER/PLASTIC) HOOD RETAINERS START GETTING OLD? *TR

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AT 50-60MPH. ALL OF SUDDEN I JUST LOSE POWER AND MY SENSOR LIGHTS COME ON IN THE DASH. I HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OVER WITHOUT ANY STEERING AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON, THIS USUALLY WORKS BUT RECENTLY THIS HAPPENED AND WHEN I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AND IT DID THE SAME THING AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 100 MORE FEET AND WOULD DIE OUT AFTER ABOUT 3 ATTEMPTS AND I COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE STARTED, I LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND THEN IT RESTARTED AND I DROVE IT APPROXIMATELY 12 MILES WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE DRIVING IT INTO THE SHOP. IT HAS NOW BEEN INTO THE SHOP TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM, IT HAS HAPPENED MORE TIMES THAN I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO BE FIXED BECAUSE I WAS TOLD TO KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AFTER THE FIRST TIME OF BEING APPARENTLY FIXED IT A FEW DAYS AFTER IT WAS FIXED AND THEY RAN A TEST ON IT AND SAID IT SHOULD BE FINE AND TO KEEP DRIVING IT. IT THEN DID IT ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER AND I BROUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP AGAIN, THIS S WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. *TR

WRANGELR RUBICON 2 DR STALLING AT INTERSTATE / HIGHWAY SPEED, STARTED DOING THIS AT APPROX 10,000 MILES. STARTED DOING THIS 152 MILES IN TO A 320 MILE TRIP AND DID THIS NUMEROUS TIMES BETWEEN 10,000 AND 10,090 MILES WERE I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE INTERSTATE AS THE VEHICLE ENGINE QUIT COMPLETELY OR SOMETIMES YOU COULD PUMP THE GAS AND THE ENGINE WOULD COME BACK TO LIFE, BUT NOT OFTEN. FILLED UP WITH GAS AT 10,090, THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD GOTTEN BAD GAS HOWEVER IT HAPPENED AGAIN APPROX 68 MILES INTO THE NEW FULL TANK OF GAS AND CONTINUED HAPPENING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WERE I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND IT WOULD DIE. JEEP RESTARTED EVERYTIME, SOMETIMES IT WOULD TAKE NUMEROUS TIMES TO RESTART. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. I LIMPED TO MY DESTINATION ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT MOST CHYRSLER/JEEP DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ARE CLOSED ON SATURDAYS SO LOOKS LIKE I AM STUCK UNTIL MONDAY TO GET IT TO A DEALER IN A DIFFERENT STATE FROM WHERE I LIVE. CAN'T BELIEVE IT. *TR
