2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

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. THIS SAME CLOCKSPRING IS USED IN RHD JEEP WRANGLERS AND HAS BEEN RECALLED, AS WELL AS 2007 LHD JEEP WRANGLERS WHICH HAVE BEEN PLACED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY SPECIFIC TO THE CLOCKSPRING. *TR

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK FUEL BURPED OUT OF THE FILL NOZZLE MISTING ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, GAS PUMP, AND OPERATORS HAND. FUEL POOLED BELOW THE FILL PORT UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE TANK WAS BEING FILLED AND APPROACHING A FULL TANK, BUT THE PUMP HAND NOT CLICKED OFF AND THE TANK WAS NOT BEING"TOPPED OFF". THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED TWO MORE TIMES SINCE THIS REPORT TODAY, OCTOBER 9TH 2012. I HAVE SEEN THERE IS A CORRECTIVE WARRANTY OFFERED BY CHRYSLER AND THIS INCIDENT DOES NOT OCCUR IF THE FLOW RATE IS MANUALLY SLOWED WHEN APPROACHING A FULL TANK. *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED BEGAN TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION WITH 50,441 MILES ON IT. THE ALARM SOUNDED, WIPERS AND FLUID WENT CRAZY, LIGHTS FLASHING, POWER STEERING FAILED, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP RUNNING EVEN WITH THE KEY REMOVED. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND TOW IT TO DEALERSHIP. AFTER $130 THEY SAID IT WAS A KEY FOB BATTERY. I RELUCTANTLY DROVE AWAY CERTAIN THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT A KEY FOB ISSUE. SURE ENOUGH, THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHILE SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND ABOUT AN HOUR LATER RECONNECTED AND IT STARTED. I PROMPTLY DROVE TO A MORE RELIABLE DEALERSHIP, WHO DIAGNOSED THE TIPM MODULE. $607 BUCKS LATER IT IS REPAIRED. CHRYSLER OF COURSE HAS DONE NOTHING BUT DENY ANY ISSUE WITH TIPM MODULES, WHEN CLEARLY THEY HAVE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THIS PART (JUST GOOGLE SEARCH IT). THIS SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION CASE, IF CHRYSLER WILL NOT RECALL. *TR

MY JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X 4 DR WOULD NOT START AND WOULD JUST CLICK ONCE WITHOUT TURNING OVER THE ENGINE. THE ENTIRE DASH WAS BRIGHT AND FUNCTIONING AND MY BATTERY WAS BRAND NEW. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS THE JEEP STARTED AS IF IT WAS PERFECTLY FINE AND DID NOT STRUGGLE TO START NEITHER. EVERY FEW WEEKS TO FEW MONTHS IT WILL REPEAT THE SAME THING OVER. ALSO, A FEW TIMES THE DASH WOULD SHOW THAT THE JEEP WAS ENGAGED IN EVERY GEAR. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND SHIFTED THE AUTOMATIC GEAR FROM P TO 1 AND BACK TO P AND THE DASH RETURNED TO NORMAL. I HAVE A STRONG FEELING MY COMPUTER OR TIPM / FUSE BOX IS GOING HAYWIRE YET THE DEALER FINDS NOTHING WRONG. I JUST BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND HE FOUND NO ERRORS. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS IF THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES FOR JEEPS FROM MANY MODELS AND YEARS?? PLEASE HELP! I HAVE READ ON MANY POSTS THAT DEALERS HAVE TOLD CUSTOMERS THAT THERE ARE ABOUT 300-400 TIPMS ARE ON BACKORDER SO WHY NO RECALL? MY WARRANTY IS STILL GOOD BUT I'M AFRAID THE DEALER WILL DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO AVOID HAVING TO HONOR IT AS I WAS PRETTY MUCH TOLD THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME. I'M STILL PAYING OFF THE FINANCE AND IT'S NOT RIGHT THAT I HAVE A LEMON ON MY HANDS. THE WORST PART ABOUT THIS IS THAT I AM IN DANGER OF THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND NOW I FEAR MY FAMILY'S LIFE/SAFETY. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH SUCH A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

COMMUNITY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP AT 555 STATE ROAD 37 S MARTINSVILLE, IN STATES THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. I WOULD THINK IT'S RECALLED WITH THE RISK INVOLVED. AND HAVE READ MANUFACTURER HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY. I'M JUST LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH. I CAN'T IMAGINE JEEP WOULD JEOPARDIZE THE SAFETY. *TR

MY 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WENT THROUGH TWO DIFFERENT CLOCKSPRINGS. THEN IN MY 2008 WRANGLER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES. I THEN GOT A RECALL NOTICE ON THE CLOCKSPRINGS IN THE 2007, BUT NOT THE 2008. CHRYSLER DID REIMBURSE ME FOR THE 2007 CLOCKSPRINGS PER THE RECALL, BUT HESITATED ON THE 2008 AND AGREED TO REIMBURSE ONLY PARTIAL THE AMOUNT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME CLOCKSPRING. AT APPROXIMATELY 57,000 MILES THE REPLACEMENT CLOCKSPRING WENT OUT IN THE 2008 WRANGLER. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS IS THE EXACT SAME CLOCKSPRING THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE 2007. I AM PURSUING ANOTHER REIMBURSEMENT BUT BELIEVE THAT SINCE THE SAME CLOCKSPRINGS THAT WERE RECALLED IN THE 2007 ARE IN THE 2008 MODELS, THAT THEY TOO SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
