2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH 45,000 MILES. DURING DRIVING AND YOU HIT A BUMP THE VEHICLE WILL SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL YOU STOP THE VEHICLE AND THEN YOU CAN PROCEED. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG JEEP OWNERS. THEY EVEN HAVE A NAME FOR IT THE DEATH WOBBLE. *TR

WHEN FUELING UP MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4 DOOR, WHEN IT GETS TO THE 'FULL' POINT THE CUT-OFF POINT TO STOP THE FUEL FROM FLOWING INTO THE TANK DOES NOT RESPOND. SO, WHEN FUELING UP THE WRANGLER IT STOPS FUELING AND GAS POURS OUT EVERYWHERE SPLASHING ME, GETTING FUEL ON MY JEEP (WHICH ISN'T GOOD FOR THE PAINT) AND GETTING FUEL ON THE GROUND WHICH COULD CAUSE HARM OR A FIRE. THIS HAS HAPPENED FREQUENTLY FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SO I HAVE OWNED THE JEEP. I'VE GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I CANNOT COMPLETELY FUEL MY JEEP UP BECAUSE I'M AFRAID IT WILL OVERFLOW. *TR

WE HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER X. WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO FULL OR NEARLY FULL AND THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OR CLICKS OFF FUEL SUDDENLY SPLASHES OUT. IT COMES OUT WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT WILL SPLASH THE PERSON FUELING THE JEEP; IT WILL RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF IT AND LEAVE A PUDDLE OF FUEL ON THE GROUND. OUR FEAR IS IF SOMEONE WERE TO TOSS A CIGARETTE OR DISCARD A MATCH AFTER THIS HAPPENED THAT THE FUEL COULD IGNITE OR EXPLODE. IT IS THE VEHICLE THAT HAS THE PROBLEM, NOT THE FUEL STATION PUMP AS THIS HAS NOW OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT FILLING STATIONS. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER PORT DURING THE REFUELING PROCESS. THIS GENERALLY OCCURS WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO THE FULL OR NEARLY FULL LEVEL AND THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OR CLICKS OFF. THE SPILLED FUEL CAN SPLASH ON THE PERSON FUELING THE VEHICLE, OR ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. *TR

WHILE FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED WITH GAS,THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND ABOUT 1 SECOND LATER THE GAS SEEMS TO OVERFILL AND SPIT BACK OUT OF THE FUEL FILL NECK. THIS OCCURS AT DIFFERENT PUMPS WITH NO APPARENT CONSISTENT FACTORS. WHEN THE TANK GETS FULL AND THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND QUITE A BIT OF GAS SPITS BACK OUT OF THE NECK ONTO ME, THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK. NOW I HAVE ADAPTED MY FILL UP STRATEGY AND FILL ONLY TO WHAT I THINK IS NEAR FULL AND NOT LET IT CLICK. *TR

FUEL SPLASHES OUT OF THE JEEP WHEN GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AT FULL TANK. FUEL SPILLS ALL OVER THE SIDE OF MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER JK AND THE FLOOR OF THE GAS STATION. *TR

PE10032 EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK UP TO FULL, IT OVERFLOWS ALL OVER THE JEEP, AND MYSELF! *TR

WHILE FILLING THE GAS TANK THE GAS SPEWS OUT THE FILL WHOLE AND LANDS ON THE CAR, PERSON AND GROUND. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED FIRE. JEEP CAUGHT FIRE WHILE TRAVELING WESTBOUND. THE FIRE INITIALLY EXTINGUISHED BY A TRUCK DRIVER WHO STOPPED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH A HAND HELD FIRE EXTINGUISHER. *BF THE CONSUMER THERE WAS A PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND IT BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE WAS LOCALIZED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE MID-FRONT UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, IT WAS UNLIKELY THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A MECHANICAL FAILURE AS OF THE DATE OF THE REPORT, AND DUE TO THE LACK OF FLUID LEAKAGE ON THE HIGHWAY, VISIBLE MECHANICAL DAMAGE AND THE LACK OF REPORTED NOISE AND SMOKE FROM THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. UPDATED 11/03/10. *JB
