2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

AIRBAG LIGHT AND CHIME COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NEARLY CONSTANTLY. THIS INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. BASED ON ONLINE RESEARCH, THE LIKELY CAUSE IS THAT THE CLOCK SPRING HAS GONE BAD, AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR JEEP WRANGLERS FROM 2007 TO PRESENT. THERE IS NOT, HOWEVER, A RECALL THAT COVERS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLOCK SPRING, SO OWNERS ARE STUCK WITH A BILL TO THE TUNE OF $500 IF THE WANT TO FIX IT AND HAVE WORKING AIRBAGS. *TR

MY JEEP WILL RANDOMLY SQUIRT WIPER FLUID, LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS, HONK HORN, TURN OFF AND ON HEADLIGHTS, ETC. ALL THINGS THAT ARE CONTROLLED BY THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AND IT DIFFERS EACH TIME, BUT I AM WORRIED THAT IT IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY AND WILL HAPPEN WHEN I AM ON A HIGHWAY - IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE DANGEROUS. DUE TO ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ABOUT IT FROM JEEP OWNERS OF MY YEAR AND THE RECALL ON PREVIOUS CHRYSLER'S DUE TO THE TIPM, A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED FOR THESE. *TR

VARIOUS DASH LIGHTS TURN ON AND BACK OFF AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS. I HAD THE PROBLEM IN AUG. 2013, AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING FOR $550. LESS THAN TWO YEARS LATER, AND THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED. VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THAT ONLY THE 2008 RHD WERE RECALLED.

I HAVE HAD MY BRAKE LINES, AND CALIPERS REPLACED TWICE DUE TO THE FRONT TIRES RUBBING THE BRAKE LINES WHEN TIRES ARE TURNED TO MAX CAPACITY. THE BRAKE LINES WEAR THOUGH AND LEAK FLUID ONTO CALIPERS, PADS, ROTORS, ETC. CAUSING THEM DAMAGE. MY TIRES ARE THE STOCK SIZE AND NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE BESIDES REPLACING TIRES DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, BUT AGAIN, TIRES ARE STOCK SIZE. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1200 DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND SOUNDS A RANDOM CHIME, HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE JEEP WITH GAS IT SPRAYS FUEL AT YOU OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER. IT HAPPENS AS SOON AS THE FUEL NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR APPROXIMATELY THE 2 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING FOR FUEL TO BE SPRAYED ON YOU EVERY TIME YOU FILL UP. DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION EITHER. *TR

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

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE ALL OF THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND BLINKED(ABS,ESC,TRACTION CONTROL,BRAKE,SEATBELT) THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. LUCKILY NO VEHICLES AROUND AND I REGAINED CONTROL AFTER GOING IN THE MEDIAN. PUT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND GOT OUT. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED AGAIN TURNING EVERYTHING OFF INCLUDING 4 WAY FLASHERS WHEN I STOPPED AT A LIGHT. IT WAS DARK AND THE JEEP IS DARK GREEN. I HAD A FLASHLIGHT TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I OPENED THE HOOD AND POUNDED MY FIST ON THE MAIN FUSE BOX. AFTER 3 MINUTES THE VEHICLE CAME TO LIFE AND I STARTED IT TO GET OFF ROADWAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD THE JEEP STARTING FLASHING THE ESC LIGHT, THE TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKES, ABS AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD SKIP AND NOT GIVE A READING. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD ALSO FLICKER. JUST TO NOTE THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY ARE GOOD. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME LOSS OF CONTROL IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE BRAKES COME ON AUTOMATICALLY , ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL IN RIGHT HAND TURN ! IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ? *TR
