2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 Complaints

WHEN DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. LIGHT NOW COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN DRIVING AND STAYS ON FOR A FEW MINUTES, GOES OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN REPEATS CONTINUOUSLY THROUGHOUT DRIVING. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME CLOCKSPRING FAILURE THAT HAS RESULTED IN A RECALL FOR THE SAME MODEL YEAR RHD VEHICLES, AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON THIS PART FOR PREVIOUS YEAR (2007) LHD VEHICLES. SINCE THIS WILL CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO FAIL, I BELIEVE THIS SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE ALL WRANGLERS WITH THIS CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY, NOT JUST RHD.

WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN SPEED REACHED 55 -60 MPH, THE STEERING HAD A SMALL SHAKING TO IT. AS TIME AND MORE MILES WENT BY, IT TURNED INTO UNCONTROLLABLE STEERING. I HAD TO LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND COAST TO A SLOWER SPEED. EVENTUALLY I COULD NOT DRIVE THE JEEP UNTIL I CHANGED THE TORSION BAR, TIE ROD ENDS AND STEERING STABILIZER, (TWICE, THE LAST TIME WITH A HEAVY DUTY ONE) AND THEN WHAT FIXED IT WAS THE STEERING GEAR BOX. BUT ONCE I CHANGED IT, THE WOBBLE OR UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING STOPPED SO I GOT A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND HAD TO CHANGE ALL FOUR BALL JOINTS DUE TO THE DAMAGE THE WOBBLE CAUSED. THAT HAS BEEN ABOUT 10 MONTHS AND THE SMALL SHAKING HAS STARTED UP AGAIN. GETTING WORSE TO WORSE AS TIME AND MILEAGE GOES BY.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND I HAD TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, REMOVED MY KEYS, AND WALKED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A FLAT SURFACE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. UPON WALKING AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING FORWARD BY ITSELF. MY VEHICLE ROLLED INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING 4,000 DOLLARS IN DAMAGES TO THE OTHER VEHICLE. NO MAJOR DAMAGES OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY JEEP OUT OF NO WHERE IT DECIDES TO DO THE 'DEATH WOBBLE'. IT HAS ALMOST THROWN ME OFF THE ROAD IN SEVERAL SITUATIONS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH A BUNCH OF THEIR JEEPS AND DOES NOT FIX IT FOR ANYONE OR WARN ANYONE. I HAVE TOOK IT TO PLACE AFTER PLACE TRYING TO GET AN ANSWER OF WHY I HAVE CHANGED THE STEERING STABILIZER 4 TIMES NOW. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY JEEP NOT KNOWING WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. IT COULD BE OVER A VERY SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD THAT ISN'T EVEN NOTICEABLE TO THE NAKED EYE OR A BIG BUMP IT DOES NOT MATTER. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS NO WAY ANYONE WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP THERE VEHICLE AS FAST AS THEY NEED TO BECAUSE OF THE DEATH WOBBLE WHEN THERE IS ICE ON THE ROAD THIS COULD KILL SOMEONE!! SHAKES THE WHOLE FRONT IN UNCONTROLLABLY!

FAULTY CLOCKSPRING CAUSING HORN TO NOT WORK AND AIRBAG LIGHT TO GO ON. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK IN EVENT OF ACCIDENT.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A MONTH AGO AND EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP FUEL SPILLS RAPIDLY FROM THE FILLER NECK. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT FIXED.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED IT IS EQUIPPED WITH A FAULTY/DEFECTIVE SPRING. THE AIRBAG WILL NOT INFLATE DURING AN ACCIDENT.

I STARTED MY WRANGLER AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND NEVER WENT OFF, IT HAS EFFECTED USE OF MY HORN AS WELL

THE CLOCKSPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN HAS FAILED CAUSING THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TO INTERMITTENTLY ALARM. THIS INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THIS VEHICLE IS LEFT HAND DRIVE.

PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW ONE LOOSE WIRE WHICH CAN ONLY CAUSE CAR NOT TO START, CAN WARRANT A RECALL ,BUT A DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING DOES NOT !!!!!!! PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME . SAME PART ON RHD WRANGLER GETS REPLACED WHY? COULD IT BE RHD WRANGLERS ARE DRIVEN BY GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES ....UNTIL SOME ONE TELLS ME DIFFERENTLY THAT'S WHAT I AND MANY OTHERS THINK . DO YOUR JOB !!!!!!!! MAKE CHRYSLER RECALL ALL JEEP WRANGLERS WITH CLOCK SPRING ISSUES. *TR
