2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

WHY WOULD YOU INSTALL A NON PROTECTED/ENCLOSED CLOCK SPRING SWITCH IN A JEEP WHICH IS MADE FOR OFF ROAD, IS A CONVERTIBLE WHICH IS EXPOSED TO DUST AND WEATHER. SO I CAN BUY AND HAVE NEW PARTS INSTALLED AFTER EACH OUTING, AND ALSO HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT WITH OUT THE PROTECTION OF AN AIR BAG??? *TR

I CAN NOT FILL MY TANK ANYMORE, EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE GETS FULL AND TRIES TO AUTO SHUTOFF, GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I CAN NOT LONGER FILL MY TANK FOR FEAR OF THIS SPLASH BACK. IT IS A LOT OF GAS THAT SPLASHES OUT ALSO. I WAS TOLD BY A SERVICE TECH THAT MY BEST BET IS USE A HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO CLEAN OFF THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK, THEN RUN IT OVER VERY BUMPY TERRAIN TO KNOCK OFF THE DIRT THAT MAY BE SITTING ON TOP OF THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. THIS DID NOT SEEM TO WORK FOR ME THOUGH. *TR

TIPM --- THE VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING ELECTRICAL SEIZURES IN WHICH THE HORN, LIGHTS, LOCKS, WIPERS, AND WASHER FLUID ALL BEGAN ACTIVATING AT ONCE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AFTER I LOST VISIBILITY BECAUSE OF THE WASHER FLUID COVERING THE WINDSHIELD. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF 10 MINUTES, I FINALLY PULLED THE BATTERY CABLE TO STOP THE PROBLEM. BUT AS SOON AS I RECONNECTED IT, THE PROBLEM WOULD START AGAIN. I EVENTUALLY PULLED THE HORN FUSE AND LIMPED BACK TO MY OFFICE AND THE NEXT DAY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BAD TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE AND CHARGED ME $863.87 TO REPLACE IT. *TR

ON THE 2008+ JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON PERIODICALLY 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

SEARCH INTERNET FOR JK DEATH WOBBLE. CHRYSLER LLC HAS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH JK WRANGLER THAN NEED RECALL BEFORE SOME ONE DIES DUE TO LOSING CONTROL TO THE FRONT END OF THEIR VEHICLE. OUR 2008 JEEP WRANGLER HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH SUSPENSION AND FRONT AXLE STEERING ISSUES FOR ITS ENTIRE EXISTENCE INCLUDING A STABILIZER REPLACEMENT AT APPROX 20,000 MILES 6 YEARS AGO. MOST RECENTLY WE HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC DEATH WOBBLE THAT HAS RESULTED IN ATTEMPTS BY DEALER TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY AND SERVICE CONTRACT WITH NO SUCCESS. THE FRONT AXLE HOUSING, AND THE TRAC BAR, AND THE BALL JOINTS AND THE STEERING STABILIZER GEOMETRY ON THE JK WRANGLER IS ALL WRONG. SEE THIS A/M BOLT KIT HTTP://NORTHRIDGE4X4.COM/SHOP/NR4X4-JEEP-JK-HARDWARE-KIT SEE THIS VIDEO HTTPS://M.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=DIYDWQHC7QQ AND THIS VIDEO HTTPS://M.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=9UQWLMLHIF4 I HAVE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE VIN FOR THIS COMPLAINT AND SOME ONE NEEDS TO FORCE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE NEEDS NEW LOWER CONTROL ARMS, NEW TRACK BAR, NEW FRAME MOUNT FOR TRACK BAR, NEW FRONT AXLE HOUSING, NEW STEERING GEAR, NEW KNUCKLES, AND NEW TIE RODS. AND IT NEEDS THE A/M CORRECT BOLT KIT LISTED ABOVE USED TO INSTALL ALL OF THE ABOVE COMPONENTS. MY VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT TIMES NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENTS. I CAN'T DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN BECAUSE IT IS TOO DANGEROUS. PLEASE ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY. THERE ARE 100,000 OR MORE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH THIS SE PROBLEM. *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

AS I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP THE AIRBAG DRIVER WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. I AM WORRIED THAT MY AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING AND MAY NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE CASE MAY DEPLOY ON IT OWN. I CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. OFFICE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE EXCEPT TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THERE IS A RECALL ON RHD JEEPS FOR 2008 BUT NOT THE LHD'S. *TR

WHILE ON MY NORMAL DAILY DRIVE HOME FROM WORK, THE AIRBAG WARNING DASH LAMP ILLUMINATED WITH CHIME. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY TURNING ON AND OFF AND CHIMING WITH THE TURNING OF MY STEERING WHEEL. WHICH I BELIEVE IS DIRECTLY RELATED WITH THE WELL KNOWN CLOCK SPRING ISSUE THAT HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR JEEP MODELS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. UPON READING THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, ITS NOT A MATTER OF IF, BUT WHEN WILL THIS PART FAIL... *TR

2ND BAD AIR BAG/ STEERING CLOCK SPRING FAILURE THAT CAUSES AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME ON AND DISABLE AIRBAGS ON VEHICLE. SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE, WHICH USES THE SAME PART AS THE LEFT HAND DRIVE. MY FIRST ONE WENT OUT AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES AND WAS WARRANTIED. THIS TIME AT 65,000 MILES, IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM, BUT IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT HAS DISABLED THE SAFETY DEVICES OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE HAD MANY TIMES WHERE I GET IN TO START MY JEEP AND IT JUST CLICKS AND DASH-LIGHTS COME ON...I HAVE FOUND THAT IF YOU PUSH ON THE GEAR SHIFT UPWARD TO PARK AND THEN TRY THE KEY IT STARTS, IT WORKS EVERY TIME. *TR
