2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER HAS HAD MANY ISSUES. ONE ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO BE AN EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN IS WHAT PEOPLE HAVE COME TO CALL "THE DEATH WOBBLE". I TOOK MY JEEP IN ABOUT A YEAR AGO TO HAVE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY "BUMP STEER AND THE STEERING DAMPENER". SO THE DEALER REPLACED IT AND IT SEEMED TO BE FINE UP UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO. "THE DEATH WOBBLE" OCCURS WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING AT SPEED OF 45MPH AND UP. WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT IF YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD OR A POT HOLE, YOUR JEEP GOES INTO AN UNCONTROLLABLE WOBBLE AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY. YOU ALMOST HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO MAKE THE WOBBLE SUBSIDE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSES YOU TO WOBBLE INTO ANOTHER CAR, GO OFF THE ROAD AT HIGH SPEEDS, AND EVEN CAUSE A REAR END COLLISION BECAUSE YOU ARE SLAMMING ON YOUR BREAKS TO STOP THE WOBBLE. AFTER READING UP ON THIS ISSUE, THIS "THE DEATH WOBBLE" IS A GROWING OCCURRENCE AMONG JEEP DRIVERS, AND THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A FIX FOR IT. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY HAS BEEN COMING ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT MY "CLOCK SPRING" HAD GONE OUT. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. IT COSTS OVER $200. I WAS READING UP ON OTHER INSTANCES AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. IF MY AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY, WHO DO I SEW? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER PENETRATED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE SUNROOF, CAUSING THE VEHICLE FLOOR TO BECOME SATURATED AND MILDEW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND LOCATED THE FAILURE AS THE SUN ROOF CLIPS BEING DEFECTED AND CAUSING THE ROOF SEALANT TO SEPARATE ALLOWING WATER TO PENETRATE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER CLEANED THE VEHICLE INTERIOR BUT DID NOT REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE CLIPS OR RESEAL THE SUNROOF. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,330.

CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. I GOT A NEW CLOCK SPRING FROM A LOCAL 4X4 SHOP THAT ORDERED IT THROUGH THE LOCAL DEALER. I HAD THE 4X4 SHOP INSTALL THE CLOCK SPRING FOR ME BECAUSE MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER IS NOT A TRUSTWORTHY DEALER IN MY OPINION. TOTAL FOR THE REPAIR WAS NEARLY 500 DOLLARS. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED(4-DOOR MODEL) IT IS A HALF DOOR, NOT LONG AFTER BUYING NEW MY HALF DOORS STARTED LEAKING, SO WENT INTO SHOP 4 TIMES, WAS FIXED FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW LEAKING VERY BADLEY AGAIN! CALLED JEEP THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO FIX THEIR FLAWED DESIGN! DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE THERE IS A 2 INCH GAP THAT OPENS UP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS! AND WHEN IT RAINS IT COMES RIGHT INSIDE, HITTING YOU IN THE FACE! WHICH TO ME IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE I WEAR CONTACTS REALLY BAD! AND I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AT JEEP FORUMS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 4 DOOR HALF DOORS..SO WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THEY SHOULD RECALL?
