2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

MY JEEP KEEPS DOING A DEATH WOBBLE ON THE HIGHWAY TODAY I TOOK MY 68 YEAR OLD MOTHER TO AIRPORT AND IT DID IT GOING 55 ON WAY BACK DID IT AT 60 AND I LOST MY TRANSMISSION VFLUID ON 476 HAD TO BE TOWED

I JUST BOUGHT THIS 08 JEEP WRANGLER JK IN 1/10/2015 AND ON THE WAY HOME I STOP TO FILL IT UP WITH GAS AND ONCE FULL THE OVER SPILL AND DIDN'T SHUT WHEN IT'S SUPPOSE TO WENT ALL OVER ME. EVERY TIME I FILL THE JEEP UP WITH GAS IT OVERFLOWS EVERYWHERE. *TR

THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP WRANGLER. THEY HAVE ALREADY RECALLED THE 2007 MODEL YEARS FOR FAULTY AND POORLY DESIGNED CLOCK SPRINGS AND HAVE MADE A REPLACEMENT PART THAT IS MUCH BETTER. THEY HAVE RECALLED THE 2008 ONLY RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEPS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN GIVING THE FACT THAT IT AFFECTS THE CRUISE CONTROL, AIR BAGS, AND HORN. SHAME ON THEM FOR NOT WANTING TO CORRECT AND REPAIR A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

DURING NORMAL DRIVING AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT FAILS TO EXTINGUISH. DIAGNOSTICS IS A FAILED AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED GOING ON AND OFF. I WAS INFORMED BY A CHRYSLER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING AND THAT MY AIR BAGS WERE INOPERATIVE. *TR

AS I WAS STOPPING AT LOCAL ARBY'S RESTAURANT FOR LUNCH, MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED STARTED SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IT SMELLED LIKE ELECTRICAL WIRES BURNING. IT IGNITED BEFORE I COULD EXIT THE VEHICLE AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES IT WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THERE WERE SEVERAL WITNESSES WHO SAW THE FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 AND WITHIN MINUTES THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE JEEP IS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

DRIVING 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY WHEN FRONT END OF CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY . HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP. IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES DURING MY TRIP. 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

ON THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. *TR

I WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY IN PARK WITH MY VEHICLE RUNNING AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. IT IS A BAD CLOCK SPRING CAUSING THE ISSUE.THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OTHER 2008 MODELS WITH SAME PROBLEM A BAD CLOCK SPRING. CHRYSLER WILL NO FIX THIS ON LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLE ONLY RHD.. I TOOK THIS FROM A FORUM WHERE I GUY CALLED CHRYSLER. (I HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY AND PRETTY MUCH JEEP TOLD ME TO GO POUND SAND ON IT. THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND UNTIL FORCED BY THE NHTSB OR WHOMEVER THAT IS THEY SAID, THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY IT AT ALL.) *TR
