2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 Complaints

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND WILL NOT GO OFF. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH THE CLOCK SPRING IS BAD. *JS

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. NOW IT'S ON ALL THE TIME WHEN I DRIVE EXCEPT WHEN I MAKE A RIGHT TURN. *TR

ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON UPON STARTING VEHICLE. CHECKED ALL FLUIDS, AND THAT GAS CAP WAS TIGHT. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP WHO SAID TO DRIVE IT FOR A FEW DAYS TO SEE IF LIGHT REMAINED ON. INDICATOR LIGHT WENT OFF SEVERAL DAYS LATER. MY ENGINE IS NOW EXHIBITING WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A STUCK LIFTER AND CHRYSLER IS REFUSING TO HONOR THE WARRANTY ON THE LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I ALSO HAD A STEERING DAMPENER FAIL ON THE VEHICLE AT 32K MILES WHICH CHRYSLER MADE ME PAY HALF FOR FIXING. *TR

LEAVING WORK, ABOUT 1 MILE AWAY ON A FLAT STRAIGHT ROAD DOING ABOUT 45-50 MPH THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. STARTED DRIVING AGAIN AND AROUND 45 MPH I COULD FEEL IT START AGAIN, LET MY FOOT OF THE GAS AND AS IT SLOWED DOWN IT STOPPED. COULD NOT DO MORE THAN 40 MPH FOR THE RIDE HOME FROM WORK. CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK AT IT ON 5/5/14.

STARTED JEEP UP AND PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY. STARTED TO DRIVE DOWN ST. WHEN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND NOW ONLY GOES OUT WHEN I MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, BUT COMES BACK ON AS SOON AS STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHTENS OUT. *TR

MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND DINGS CONSTANTLY AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF. *JS

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SO CALLED DEATH WOBBLE. AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60-70MPH, WHEN I HIT AN IMPERFECTION IN THE ROAD, MY STEERING VIOLENTLY SHAKES FROM SIDE TO SIDE. AT THIS POINT, IT WILL ONLY STOP IF I SLOW DOWN TO SPEEDS BELOW 20MPH. THIS HAS PUT ME IN SEVERAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS ON THE HIGHWAY, AS I SUDDENLY NEED TO STOP MY JEEP, REGARDLESS OF WHAT LANE I AM IN. THE STEERING STABILIZER HAS BEEN REPLACED, AND HAS NOT CHANGED THE PROBLEM. MY JEEP IS STOCK; NO LIFTS, AFTERMARKET WHEELS, ETC. I AM GETTING THIS WOBBLE ONCE EVERY FEW TRIPS ON A HIGHWAY. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE MALFUNCTIONED AND BURNED THE VEHICLES OIL CONSUMPTION AFTER ONLY TWO THOUSAND MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON VEHICLE; HOWEVER, CHRYSLER DID NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE CLOCKSPRING ON MY 2008 LEFT HAND DRIVE JEEP HAS BROKEN CAUSING MY AIRBAGS TO NO LONGER FUNCTION. I HAVE A VALID CHRYSLER WARRANTY UNTIL 85,000 MILES. MY JEEP IS CURRENTLY BEING SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE BROKEN CLOCKSPRING WHICH WILL COST $563. THIS PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY CHRYSLER WARRANTY WHICH MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL. MY WARRANTY COVERS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BUT THE CLOCK SPRING FALLS UNDER "SAFETY" COMPONENTS WHICH ARE NOT COVERED. HOW SAFETY COMPONENTS ARE NOT COVERED IS WAY BEYOND ME! THERE WAS A RECALL IN THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER CLOCKSPRING AND THE ISSUES OBVIOUSLY SPREAD TO 2008 AS WELL. I CANNOT AFFORD THE $563 SO I AM PUTTING IT ON MY CREDIT CARD SO I CAN DRIVE A SAFE JEEP. THE FACT THAT JEEP IS MAKING CONSUMERS PAY (SUBSTANTIALLY) FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR AND THUS THE REASON FOR THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

I HAVE AN 08 WRANGLER AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME ON BUT BECAUSE IT LHD IT'S NOT COVERED.THEY SAY THE PROBLEM IS MAIL CARRIERS RIDE DUSTY ROADS AND HAVE THE WINDOW UP AND DOWN A LOT .WELL I TAKE MY TOP OFF AND RIDE DUSTY ROADS ALL SUMMER LONG ,SAME THING. IM SURE THE SAME PARTS ARE USED SO WHY AREN'T BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT HAND BEING RECALLED.THIS IS UNFAIR THAT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM I MUST PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. IS IT BECAUSE MOST OF THE RHD JEEPS ARE " GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES " THAT THEIRS GET FIXED ? SOUNDS TO ME LIKE A CONSPIRACY YOU PROTECTING YOURSELF WHILE AGAIN THE LITTLE GUY GETS SCREWED!!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHY YOUR ASKING FOR MY E MAIL ADDRESS,I'M SURE I'LL NEVER HER FROM YOU BECAUSE YOU KNOW I'M RIGHT. THERE IS NO REASON TO RECALL ONE WITHOUT RECALLING BOTH IT'S JUST COMMON SENSE. *TR
