2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2-DR 4X4 RHD Complaints

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR A PERIOD OF APPRX. 10 DAYS THEN STAYED ON CONSTANTLY. WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. THE JEEP DEALER SAYS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH A CLOCK SPRING SENSOR IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE JEEP IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT WOULD MOST LIKELY REOCCUR. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THE JEEP AND PAY AGAIN WHEN THE PART WENT BAD AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MANY OTHER 2008 JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

CORROSION TO CLOCK SPRING IN STEERING COLUMN RESULTING IN HORN FAILURE TO SOUND HARD TOP ROOF LEAKS LIKE A SIEVE IN RAIN RESULTING NECESSITATING MY REMOVING THE CARPET AND LEAVING DRAIN PLUGS OPEN-NOW THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS RUSTY FROM DAMP INTERIOR WON'T START IN PARK-ONLY STARTS IF SHIFTER SHOVED INTO NEUTRAL OR SHOVED FORWARD WHILE TURNING KEY DOOR HINGE PINS RUSTY FLAT TIRE LIGHT STAYS ON AIR BAG LIGHT PERIODICALLY ON, WHICH MEANS AIR BAG IS NOT FUNCTIONAL AT THOSE TIMES. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER X RHD. IT HAS TWO ISSUES. 1. THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON BECAUSE THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDS REPLACED IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS COST 500.00 TO FIX. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND DEFINITELY SHOULD BE A RECALL. 2. THE JEEP WON'T START DUE TO A SAFETY MECHANISM IN THE SHIFTER. YOU HAVE TO START THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL. THESE ARE VERY COMMON PROBLEMS AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE COMPANY. I ALSO HAVE A RECALL ON THE STEERING DAMPER..IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE J34 RECALL...THE DEALERSHIP STILL DOESN'T HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT. I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT HELPS IN GETTING THESE ISSUES FIXED. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR

CLOCK SPRING FAILURE AT 35,000 REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, FAILED AGAIN AT 45,000. THE DEALER WANTS $370 TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK NOW. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT EVERY 10,000 MILES. *TR

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

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

2008 JEEP WRANGLER RHD POSTAL VEHICLES USED BY RURAL CARRIERS FOR USPS. THOSE OF US WHO PURCHASED THE VEHICLES ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH AIRBAG MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT AND NO HORN USE OR INTERMITTENT USAGE. ONE ITEM OF INTEREST POSSIBLE CAUSE IS THE SPRINGCLOCK IN THE STEERING COLUMN AS COMPONENT THAT OPERATES BOTH HORN AND AIR BAG CIRCUITS. THIS ITEM HAS BEEN A PROBLEM IN YEARS PAST WITH JEEP. CONCERNED WITH A DEPLOYMENT OF FAULTY AIR BAG ISSUE MOSTLY, TRYING TO GET MY VEHICLE IN FOR A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION. TECHNICIANS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY WHEN THEY ARE IN. FORUMS AT RURALINFO.NET CONFIRM OTHERS ARE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES. MY VEHICLE HAS 50K MILES WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. STOP LAMP SWITCH FELL OFF MOUNTING BRACKET AND THE LIGHTS WERE ALWAYS ON. METHOD OF HOLDING SWITCH TO BRACKET WAS INSUFFICIENT TO HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE SWITCH TO THE BRACKET. A NEW MOUNT WAS MADE TO HOLD THE SWITCH IN PLACE, USING THE OLD SWITCH. *TR
