2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Complaints

PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW AND HISTORICALLY/CURRENTLY WHILE FILLING THE FUEL TANK AT NUMEROUS GAS STATIONS THE TANK OVERFLOWS SPLASHING GASOLINE ON THE VEHICLE, GROUND, AND PERSONAL CLOTHING. (THE VEHICLE IS PARKED WITH ENGINE OFF WHILE REFUELING)

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK FUEL COMES SPEWING OUT BEFORE THE FUEL SHUTOFF ON THE PUMP KICKS IN. NO MATTER IF I AM HOLDING THE LEVER DOWN JUST A TINY BIT TO JUST SLOWLY FILL IT UP.EVERY TIME!

I WENT TO SELL MY JEEP TO JEEP DEALER THEY SAID THERE IS A RECALL ON AIRBAGS WITH REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE NO DEALER WILL BUY MY JEEP AND THIS IS NOT RIGHT, NOW I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE BECAUSE NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR AIRBAGS. *TR

TAKATA INFLATORS:THE RECALL WAS SENT OUT JULY 1, 2016. AS OF OCT. 20, THE STATUS IS "INCOMPLETE, PARTS NOT AVAILABLE." APPARENTLY, ON IMPACT, THE INFLATOR CAN SPEW METAL PARTS, PIERCING THE AIRBAG AND CAUSING THE EVER (UN)POPULAR "INJURY OR DEATH" TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. I THINK 3 1/2 MONTHS IS WAAAAY LONG ENOUGH FOR JEEP TO COME UP WITH A REPLACEMENT PART, OR AT LEAST OFFER TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG. I'D RATHER TAKE MY CHANCES, THAN HAVE A DEFECTIVE PART KILL ME, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED RUBICON CAUGHT FIRE IN THE ENGINE AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND PARKING. IT APPEARED TO ORIGINATE NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE. CHRYSLER WAS OUT TO INSPECT TO DETERMINE CAUSE ONLY TO TELL ME IT WAS NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME A COPY OF THE REPORT. THE REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED OVERHEARD THE INSPECTOR SAY SOMETHING ABOUT OIL LEAKING OUT OF THE ENGINE ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST. THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS NOW TOTALED MY JEEP. *TR

HORN NOT WORKING BECAUSE OF CLOCK SPRING FAILURE. DEALER REFUSE TO REPLACE CLOCK SPRING BASED ON RECALL 16V-290 RECALL DATE: JUNE 28, 2016. DEALER SAID THAT THEY SCANNED FOR CODES FOR AIR BAG FAILURE AND DID NOT FIND ANY. THOUGH, CLOCK SPRING HAS FAILED AND IT HAS DISABLED THE VEHICLE'S HORN.

THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN MID AUUST 2016 AND IS STILL GOING ON ....WIPERS GOING OFF N ON BY THEMSELVES, HORN BLARING, LIGHTS BLINKING ON N OFF, SIGNM=AL LIGHTS NOT WORKING AT TIMES, JEEP WONT MOVE FORWARD AT TIMES, STEERING GETS HARD TO MANAGE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OF AND ON ALL THE TIME..... THIS HAPPENS AT ANYTIME OR ANYWHERE....CAN GO ON FOR ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES...PEOPLE START STARING AS IF I AM CRAZY BLOWING THE HORN AT THEM AND MY LIGHTS FLASHING THROUGH OUT. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALLED ISSUE BASED ON THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER HAVING THE SAME ISSUE...FOR ALL I KNOW THE 2008 JEEPS WERE PROBABLY INTALLED PARTS FROM THE LINE FROM THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLERS WHICH HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TICM......I AM TRYING TO GET ESTIMATES RIGHT NOW BUT THE TCIM PART ALONE COSTS $425 OR MRE PLUS LABOR AND ADDITIONAL FOR PROGRAMMING......THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!! SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN STOPPED AT THE LIGHT WITH VEHICLE ON AND SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING..HARD TO MANUEVER CAR WHEN DRIVING DUE TO DIFFICULT STEERING

MY ISSUE IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO ON THE INTERNET AS THE JEEP "DEATH WOBBLE". AT AROUND 50-60MPH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, WHEELS AND STEERING BEGIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO BRAKE TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND DISCONCERTING WEN THIS HAPPENS IN BUSY TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY. HAVE HAD WHEELS BALANCED AND TRACKING DONE SEVERAL TIMES, BUT ISSUE STILL OCCURS - STARTING AROUND 3 OR 4 YEAR AGO.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED SO THE CAR CAN GO BACK ON THE ROAD. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL.

JEEP WILL START HONKING HORN, WIPERS ON , WASHER FLUID SHOOTING OUT, DOOR LOCKS WON'T WORK. THEN IT ALL CLEARS UP, THERE ARE TIME WHEN THE BATTERY HAS TO BE DISCONNECTED . BUT ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. ALL BELLS AND LIGHTS WENT ON, WIPERS ON HIGH, HORN WAS STUCK ON, AND THEN ENGINE JUST DIES! LUCKILY I HAD ENOUGH SPEED TO GET IT TO THE SHOULDER. JUMPED OUT TO PULL THE HORN WIRE, I WAS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT 5 A.M. WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ENGINE STARTED BACK UP, WITH THE KEYS IN MY POCKET! EVERYTHING FINALLY STOP RUNNING AND I WENT ON TO MY JOB RELUCTANTLY. NOW SPORADICALLY THE WIPERS GO ON, DOORS WON'T UNLOCK, ENGINE WON'T START, HORN BLARES, WASHER FLUID GOES ON ALL BY THERE SELF. THIS IS MY ONLY CAR TO DRIVE, I'M GOING TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER TO GET IT HOOKED UP TO SCAN THE COMPUTER, AND HOPEFULLY FIND THE PROBLEM.
