2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED AND EVERY TIME I FUEL UP, THE GAS OVERFLOWS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SPEED I AM FILLING IT, THE NOZZLE CLICKS TO NOTE THAT THE TANK IS FULL AND THEN GAS COMES POURING OUT. THIS JUST STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP NOW, REGARDLESS OF THE STATION THAT I FILL UP AT. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING AT ROAD SPEEDS BETWEEN 45MPH AND 65MPH, IF THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS A SMALL BUMP OR INDENTION IN THE ROAD THE FRONT END SHAKES OUT OF CONTROL. YOU MUST REDUCE SPEED OR STOP THE VEHICLE TO ALLOW THE MOVEMENT TO STOP. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BOTH EXPERIENCED THIS ON OUR 2008 JEEP WRANGLER X. THE FRONT END SHAKES EXCESSIVELY. I ENCOUNTERED IT WHILE ENTERING A CURVE AND THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO END UP IN THE DITCH OR OVERTURNED IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE WHEN I AM FILLING IT UP. OFTEN, GAS WILL COME UP THE FILL TUBE AND OUT ONTO MY JEEP, THE PUMP HANDLE, THE GROUND - AND USUALLY- MY HANDS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM FILLING IT UP AND AT A FAST OR SLOW PACE, GAS WILL STILL COME UP THE FILL TUBE. THE GAS EITHER CASCADES OUT OR SHOOTS OUT (DEPENDING ON THE SPEED THE PUMP IS GOING.) THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, DESPITE THE RECENT INCIDENT DATE I ENTERED BELOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 WITH BRIDGESTONE DUELER A/T TIRES, SIZE 255/80R18. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE LOST AIR PRESSURE ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE A VALVE STEM WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,000.

MY 2008 JEEP RUBICON HAS BEEN JUMPING OUT OF 1ST GEAR WHEN ENTERING INTERSECTIONS ETC... SINCE IT WAS NEW. AFTER 10 MONTHS OF COMPLAINING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND OVER 1 DOZEN NEAR MISSES AT INTERSECTIONS (I STOPPED ALOWING MY KIDS TO EVEN DRIVE IN THIS VEHICLE AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT WHERE WE WERE ALMOST BROADSIDED BY A TRUCK) A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BY CHRYSLER WHERE IF SOMEONE COMPLAINED THEY WOULD CHANGE A SYNCHRONIZER ASSEMBLY. THERE ARE MANY MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND CHRYSLER HAS CHOSEN TO PUT OTHERS AT RISK AS THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT FIXED ON NEW VEHICLES BUT REQUIRES THE TSB TO BE PERFORMED TO REMEDY (MAYBE IT FIXES IT BUT I AM STILL NOT CONVINCED). I KNOW THIS AS I ASKED FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION AND WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT EVEN NEW TRANSMISSIONS HAVE THIS ISSUE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED (OR PERHAPS THERE ARE ALREADY FATALITIES) IF THERE IS NOT A TOTAL RECALL TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE.

WHEN PUTTING GAS IN THE TANK AS THE TANK GETS NEAR FULL GAS BACKS UP AND SPITS OUT OF FILL NECK. SOMETIMES ABOUT A HALF GALLON ON THE JEEP AND GROUND. HAS BEEN DOING THIS ABOUT A YEAR NOW. LAST TIME IS THE DATE BELOW ON THE FORM. *TR

ON TUESDAY MARCH 9TH 2010 I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED ACROSS RAILROAD TRACKS IN HERMAN MINNESOTA ABOUT 11:00 AM. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE WET. I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING STARTING IN THE FRONT END WHICH THEN INVOLVED THE WHOLE VEHICLE. MY SPEED WAS ABOUT 25 TO 30 MPH. I HIT THE BRAKES AND THE SHAKING STOPPED. I HAVE 15,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON VARIOUS FORUMS ON THE INTERNET(EDMUNDS.COM,JKFORUM.COM ETC) I HAVE NO MODIFICATIONS ON MY VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED(TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED, OIL CHANGES ETC). I BOUGHT A 2002 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE NEW AND HAVE TRAVELED OVER THESE SAME RAILROAD TRACKS MANY A TIME WITH NO PROBLEMS. I AM GOING TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THIS WEEK (3/15/2010) WITH ALBANY CHRYSLER/JEEP THE DEALER WHOM I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM FOR A RECALL TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER AND NORMAL MAINTENANCE. AT THIS APPOINTMENT I WILL HAVE THE SHAKING INCIDENT ADDRESSED. *TR

MY 2008 4DR JEEP WRANGLER SPILLS FUEL ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP. I HAVE TRIED FILLING SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY POSITIONING THE PUMP NOZZLE WITH NO CHANGE. I HAVE READ MANY JEEP FORUMS AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS COULD BECOME A FIRE HAZARD AT THE PUMP. *TR

VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION INCONSISTENTLY SHIFTS FROM FIRST GEAR TO NEUTRAL FROM A STANDING STOP TO ACCELERATION. FORCE OF THE VEHICLE COMING OUT OF GEAR IS SO GREAT THAT IT FEELS AS IF A COLLISION HAS OCCURRED FROM BEHIND. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OF THESE OCCURRENCES THE VEHICLE HAS ENTERED INTO AN INTERSECTION CAUSING A DECELERATION AND SUBJECTING THE VEHICLE AND OCCUPANTS TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS WAS FIRST REPORTED TO THE DEALER IN DECEMBER OF 2009. DEALER REPORTED THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AND THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER ADDRESSED. *TR

2008 WRANGLER SPORT 4 DR. AFTER RUNNING OVER A SEAM IN THE CURVE OF AN OVERPASS THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE WHOLE CAR WAS BOUNCING. THIS SHAKING CONTINUED UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE. THE INCIDENT WAS TERRIFYING AND I FELT AS IF I WOULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR AND MENTIONED IT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE. *TR
