2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT START UNLESS I SHIFT CAR INTO NEUTRAL OR SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO PARK OR CONTINUE TO TURN KEY IN IGNITION SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE FOUND COUNTLESS SIMILAR ISSUES ON JEEP FORUMS WITH SAME COMPLAINT. MY LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP CANNOT RESOLVE PROBLEM AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. ISSUE OCCURS UP TO SEVERAL TIMES A DAY NOW. DEALER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE ISSUE. *TT

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, GASOLINE WILL ERUPT FROM THE TANK AND SPILL ON THE GROUND IF I ATTEMPT TO COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK. THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. MY DEALERSHIPS SAYS THAT PARTS ARE BACKORDERED AND HAS NOT ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR OVER 4 MONTHS SINCE I NOTIFIED THEM. *KB

JEEP WRANGLER DEATH WOBBLE. EVERYBODY WHO BUYS A JEEP WRANGLER EXPERIENCES THIS PROBLEM. ITS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND HAS NOT EVER BEEN ADDRESSED. AT 50 MPH JEEP BEGAN SHAKING TO THE POINT WHERE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT POSSIBLE. WENT OFF THE ROAD WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. THANK GOD I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING. *TR

WE HAVE A 2008 4 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X AND WITH EVERY FILL UP, GAS COMES POURING OUT OF THE FILL TUBE AND ONTO THE SIDE OF THE JEEP AND EVEN OUR HANDS. THE PUMP NEVER SHUTS OFF IN TIME AND THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. WE HAVE ABOUT 30K MILES ON THE JEEP. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM, I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL. THIS IS NOT ONLY UNACCEPTABLE BUT AT THE VERY LEAST IRRESPONSIBLE, THIS SHOULDN'T EVEN BE AN ISSUE IT SHOULD JUST BE TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2008 4 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER JUST OVER 2 MONTHS AGO. IN THIS TIME I HAVE NOTICED EVERY TIME WE FILL UP WITH GAS, NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION WE USE, GAS SPILLS EVERYWHERE. ALSO, THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED AFTER A MONTH OF HAVING THE JEEP. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY. WE HAD TO PAY THE FOR THE TEST AND THEN WE REPLACED THE BATTERY OURSELVES, A COUPLE DAYS LATER THE JEEP WOULD NOT START AGAIN! I PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. SO NOW AT LEAST ONCE A DAY I HAVE TO PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL TO START IT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IT IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO DRAIN MY BATTERY AGAIN AND I AM GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING BATTERIES. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND BOTH OF THESE ARE "KNOWN" AND "COMMON" PROBLEMS, YET WHEN I CONTACTED JEEP THEY ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT AND TELL ME I NEED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND PAY TO HAVE THEM RUN MORE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ON IT! NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. *KB

TIRE VALVE FAILURE IN JEEP WRANGLERS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ACROSS THE ONLINE CHAT BOARDS. I OWN A 3 YEAR OLD JEEP WRANGLER AND THE TIRE VALVE CRUMBLED IN MY HANDS WHEN TRYING TO INFLATE THE TIRE TO CORRECT PRESSURE. APPARENTLY THE METAL USED IN THE TIRE VALVE DEGRADES EASILY AND EVEN THE DEALERSHIP IS WELL AWARE OF THIS CONSTANT REPAIR. AFTER FAILURE OF THE TIRE VALVE, THE TIRE DEFLATES QUICKLY. IT CAN START WITH A HAIRLINE CRACK DOWN THE VALVE STEM OR JUST BREAK OFF ACROSS THE VALVE BY THE TIRE RIM. IT IS A TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FAILURE AND CAN BE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS IF IT FAILS AT THE WRONG TIME. THE VALVE STEM IS HOOKED UP TO A TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM SO THE APPARATUS IS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. THE REMEDY IS TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF EACH TIRES VALVE SYSTEM WITH AN EXACT REPLICA OF THE FIRST FAULTY PART. THE FAILURE OF THIS ITEM IS CONCERNING AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *KB

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY 08 JK JEEP WRANGLER WITH GAS, THE GAS SHUT OFF HAPPENS, BUT GAS COMES POURING OUT OF THE TANK. USUALLY ABOUT A HALF GALLON IS WASTED, AND CAUSING ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE. IT'S ANNOYING, DANGEROUS, SMELLY AND HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE OWNED. READ A LOT ON LINE AND REALIZE THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, HAPPENING TO MANY OTHERS. *TR

NINE OUT OF TEN TIMES WHEN I USE THE AUTOMATIC STOP ON THE PUMP AT THE GAS STATION, THE TANK WILL SPILL OVER WHEN FILLING UP. THIS CAUSES GAS TO SPILL ON THE CAR, THE GROUND, AND SOMETIMES MYSELF. *TT

SHOTTY STEERING ON 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. CLUNKS AND SHIMMIES AND MAKES ALL KINDS OF NOISE. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. ALL THEY SAY IS THAT IT IS A JEEP AND DRIVES DIFFERENT THAN OTHER VEHICLES. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND IT APPEARS THAT IT MAY BE A STEERING BOX ISSUE. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM, BUT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. *KB

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER WILL NOT START. THE STARTER WAS REPLACED AND THIS ISSUE STILL HAPPENS. DURING SEARCHES ONLINE I NOTICED THIS HAPPENS TO MANY FOLKS. DURING A TRIP IN TOWN AND STOPPING IN A BAD AREA MY JEEP WOULD NOT START. THIS IS A BIG ISSUE AND I CAN NOT AND WILL NOT TRAVEL IN CERTAIN AREAS ANY MORE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. *KB
