2008 Jeep Wrangler 2-Dr 4x4 complaints

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SPEWS GAS AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF. I DO NOT TOP OFF AND HAVE TRIED SEVERAL GAS STATIONS. THE GAS PUMPS CLICKS OFF AND 3 SECONDS LATER I HEAR A GURGLE AND ABOUT 2 CUPS OF FUEL VOMITS OUT, RUNS DOWN MY PAINT, PLASTIC BUMPER AND ON THE GROUND. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS THING. I HAVE TAKEN MY JEEP BACK TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE GAS TANK. THE FIRST FILL UP WITH THE NEW TANK HAD NO ISSUES, FROM THE SECOND FILL UP ON IT SPEWS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS TRANSMISSION OVER HEATED AND THE FLUID LEAKED ON THE EXHAUST WHICH CAUSED A FIRE TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE PLASTIC FUEL LINES TO MELT WHICH CAUSED THE FIRE TO SPREAD UNDER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT DESTROYING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER STATED 22 DAYS AGO THAT A REPRESENTATIVE WOULD INSPECT THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, HE HAS NOT RECEIVED A CALL. A POLICE/FIRE REPORT IS AVAILABLE IF NEEDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

WHEN GASSING UP VEHICLE- FUEL WILL REGURGITATE OUT FUEL NECK ONTO PERSON FUELING AND ALL OVER VEHICLE AND GROUND. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FUEL REGARDLESS OF HOW SLOW I FUEL VEHICLE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! *TR

WHEN FUELING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER GAS ALWAYS SPILLS OUT. I HAVE HAD IT FOR OVER A YEAR AND IT JUST STARTED ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. I PUT THE GAS NOZZLE IN THE FILL TUBE AND CLICK IT ON AUTO FILL. THE NOZZLE WILL CLICK OFF THEN A SECOND LATER GAS COMES SHOOTING OUT. I'VE READ ON A FORUM THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND BELIEVE JEEP SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I ALSO THINK I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE $120 DOLLARS I PAID TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND NOT FIXED. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR HARDTOP WITH 30,000 MILES. EVERYTIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION, THE GAS NOZZLE INSTEAD OF SHUTTING OFF PROPERLY, IT SPEWS GAS FROM THE TANK ALL OVER THE GROUND. THE GAS RUNS ALL DOWN MY PAINT AND ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER WILL SPILL GAS OUT ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK IF I HOLD THE NOZZLE ON ANYTHING ABOVE ABOUT A QUARTER OPEN. AS IT NEARS FULL, THE PUMP CLICKS OFF AND THEN WHOOSH, OUT COMES ABOUT A QUART OF GAS, SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE AND ONTO THE PARKING LOT. IT DID NOT DO THIS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT. IT STARTED DOING THIS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I NEVER CONTACTED THE DEALER AS MY WARRANTY IS UP. I REALLY DIDN'T GIVE THIS MUCH THOUGHT AS I HAVE LEARNED IF I JUST TRICKLE THE LAST FEW GALLONS IN, IT ONLY HAPPENS TO ME ABOUT 25% OF THE TIME. HOWEVER, AFTER STUMBLING ACROSS A JEEP FORUM ON THE INTERNET AND FINDING OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM, I REALIZE THAT SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED BY AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE EVENTUALLY. *TR

GAS PUMP FREQUENTLY DOES NOT DISENGAGE AFTER TANK IS FULL CAUSING GASOLINE TO SPRAY OVER VEHICLE AND ON TO GROUND. *TR

EVERYTIME I FILL UP THE VEHICLE GAS SPILLS OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AFTER THE FUEL NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER OVERFLOWS DURING EACH GAS FILL UP. SHUTS OFF ONLY AFTER GAS IS OVER FLOWING FROM GAS FILL PIPE. *TR

I PURCHASE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER AS AN OFF ROAD VEHICLE. THE MODEL HAS A KEY RECOGNITION KEY AND IN THIS LAST YEAR HAS FAILED TWICE. BOTH TIMES WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALER, REPLACE THE WCM, AND REPROGRAM THE KEY. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS: FORTUNATELY I WAS IN EDMONTON BOTH TIMES THE WCM FAILED. IF IT HAD BEEN ONE MONTH EARLIER I WAS 50 MILES IN THE BUSH WITH AN 80 YEAR OLD DIABETIC. NO CELL PHONE ACCESS. THERE IS NO MANUAL OVERRIDE FOR THIS VEHICLE THEREFORE YOU ARE STRANDED. IT SHOULD NOT BE MARKETED AS AN OFF ROAD VEHICLE UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. *TR

CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL J24, MOPAR TOW BAR. THERE APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITHIN CHRYSLER/JEEP ABILITY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL AFFECTS ONLY 308 UNITS THE REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE. DEALERS ARE RESTRICTED TO ORDERING ONLY ONE REPAIR KIT PER WEEK. THE DEALER KNOWS NOTHING THE CHRYSLER HOT LINE ASSURED ME (AFTER I INQUIRED ABOUT THE REPAIR) THAT THE REPAIR KIT FOR MY VEHICLE WOULD BE SENT TO THE DEALER. THEY ANSWERED MY QUESTION OF WHEN BY SAYING THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THE KIT WOULD BE SENT. GREAT. NO MORE VACATION TRAVEL PULLING A JEEP BEHIND THE RV UNTIL THE KIT FINALLY COMES IN. IT APPEARS THAT NOTIFICATION OF A PROBLEM AND SOLVING THE PROBLEM ARE NOT ONE IN THE SAME. *TR

FUEL TANK OVERFLOW. WHEN REFILLING FROM EMPTY, THE TANK WILL SPRAY FUEL OUT THE FILLER SPOUT AFTER THE PUMP SHOTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. DEALER HAS REPLACED THE EVAP CANISTER AND ESSIM VALVE AND RESULTS ARE THE SAME. IT STILL "BURPS" FUEL OUT AND MAKES A MESS. *TR

JEEP IS A STOCK 2DR 4X4 JEEP WRANGLER X WITH 28500 MILES ON IT WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON A COUPLE OF DIRT ROADS BUT NO OFF ROAD USAGE. WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CURVE ON LOOP 470 IN DENVER AT 65MPH, MY JEEP BEGAN TO AGGRESSIVELY "WOBBLE" JACKHAMMER AND THROW JEEP FROM TIRE TO TIRE SIDE TO SIDE LITERALLY JUMPING INCHES OFF THE PAVEMENT. IT WAS JUMPING FROM FRONT RIGHT TIRE TO REAR LEFT TIRE TO FRONT LEFT. BACK AND FORTH 1 TIRE WAS ON THE GROUND WHILE THE OTHER THREE TIRES YOUR COULD FEEL LITERALLY JUMPING OFF THE ROAD AND HAD NO CONTACT WITH PAVEMENT. VERY SCARY. ALL VEHICLE CONTROL LOST AT THIS TIME. MANUAL STICK WAS ACTUALLY BEING THROWN SO VIOLENTLY LEFT AND RIGHT I COULD NOT GRAB IT TO THROW IN NEUTRAL AND STOP THE VEHICLE. BRAKING SYSTEM HAD VERY LITTLE EFFECT SINCE ALL WHEELS BUT ONE WERE OFF THE PAVEMENT. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO 45MPH AND THE DEATH WOBBLE MYSTERIOUSLY STOPPED AND I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL ENOUGH TO PULL OF THE FREEWAY AND INSPECT THE VEHICLE. I DISCOVERED A LITTLE SNOW AROUND THE TIREWELL BUT CERTAINLY NOTHING THAT SHOULD CAUSE THIS VIOLENT OF A REACTION. VERY DANGEROUS BEEN DRIVING FOR 23 YEARS AND NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. *TR

STOCK JEEP 2008 WRANGLER X 29,000 MILES HAS J.O.G. VIOLENTLY JUMPS OUT OF GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING IN FIRST GEAR. SWEAR YOU WERE REAR ENDED BY A CAR THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENS. EXPECT TO FIND THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION IS LAYING ON THE STREET. JEEP CLAIMS IS A SOFT BOOT PROBLEM AND THEN IF THAT DOESN'T FIX IT THEY REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION. THE CONDITION IS VERY DANGEROUS TRYING TO MAKE A YIELDING TURN ON GREEN. I HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED GETTING T-BONED WHEN I HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE MIDDLE OF A 5 LANE ROAD. HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIME AT A GREEN LIGHT BECAUSE IT WILL ACCELERATE NORMALLY FOR A SECOND AND THEN VIOLENTLY POP OUT OF GEAR BRINGING THE JEEP TO A HALT. GEAR SHIFT POPPED OUT AND JAMMED MY MIDDLE FINGER ON MY HAND SO BAD IT STILL HURTS 3 WEEKS LATER. STARTED HAPPENING AFTER MY DEATH WOBBLE EXPERIENCE AT 29000 MILES. LOOKING AROUND THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH 6 SPEED MANUAL SINCE THE NEW MODEL CAME OUT IN 2007. ENGINEERING FLAW. TRANNY SHOULD NEVER POP OUT OF GEAR UNDER LOAD UNLESS THERE IS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. JEEP CLAIMS THE TRANNY IS FINE AND INSTALL A NEW SOFT BOOT. THANKS JEEP/CHRYSLER. *TR

RE: CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL J24 - MOPAR TOW E. *TR

GAS SPILLS OUT OF TANK AT EVERY FILL-UP. NO TOPPING OFF, WILL SPILL OUT EVEN IF UNDERFILLED. KNOWN ISSUE BEING REPORTED FOR JEEP JK AT JK-FORUM.COM. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER, 2 DOOR, 4X4. THE PAST 4-5 TIMES I HAVE FILLED UP WITH GAS, THE GAS HANDLE STOPS WHEN FULL, THEN GAS STARTS GUSHING BACK OUT GETTING ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND GROUND, MY ESTIMATE WOULD BE 1/4-1/2 A GALLON EACH TIME, MINIMUM. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER WITH GAS, GAS WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. GAS WILL GET ON MY CLOTHES AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE JEEP. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE ONE AS WELL. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER JK SPILLS GASOLINE OUT OF FILLER NECK WHENEVER FILLING UP TANK. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER -- GAS OVERSPILLS WHEN FILLING UP. HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK GAS COMES RUSHING OUT OF THE FILLER NECK A COUPLE OF SECONDS AFTER THE TANK REACHES FULL AND THE AUTO-SHUT OFF ON THE FUEL STATIONS FILL PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS CAUSES FUEL TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE JEEP WRANGLER AND PUDDLES ON THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL-UP AT DIFFERENT FUEL STATIONS. *TR

GASOLINE OVERFLOW'S OUT OF GAS TANK WHEN TRYING TO FILL CAR. *TR UPDATE: TANK WAS FULL AND ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF FUEL CAME OUT.

FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR, WHEN I WOULD PUT IT INTO 1ST GEAR, IT WOULD POP OUT OF GEAR ONCE I APPLIED THE GAS. THIS WOULD HAPPEN DAILY. I TOLD MY DEALER ABOUT THIS AND BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. FINALLY, ALMOST 2 YEARS LATER, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND THE WHOLE GEAR SHIFTER CAME OUT AND I WAS UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, ALMOST GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. I THEN HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE GEAR SHIFTER AND TOLD ME THAT THE PART THAT HELD IT TOGETHER WAS BROKEN AND THAT MUST HAVE BEEN THE REASON WHY IT WOULD POP OUT OF GEAR, BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER ABLE TO BE LOCKED IN PROPERLY. THEY STILL CAN NOT OPEN UP THE INSIDES TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE WRONG UNLESS THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AGAIN AND THEY ARE ABLE TO WITNESS IT. SO BASICALLY, I HAVE TO BE PUT IN A SITUATION WHERE THIS CAN HAPPEN AGAIN IN ORDER FOR THEM TO "MAYBE" WITNESS IT, OR I CAN GET INTO A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT, SOMETHING I NARROWLY ESCAPED LAST TIME. THEY CAN NOT OPEN ANYTHING UP BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT GET REIMBURSED UNLESS THEY ARE CERTAIN SOMETHING IS WRONG, THEN THEY WILL GO TO THE SOURCE AND INVESTIGATE, WHEN THEY KNOW THEY WILL GET PAID FOR IT. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL JUMP OUT OF GEAR JEEP WAS BOUGHT NEW AND HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALERS VANN DODGE NJ 3 TIMES STILL NOT CORRECTED AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL THERE. 1ST TIME THEY SAID THE SHIFT BOOT NEEDED TO BE TRIMMED, 2ND TIME THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS COLD OUT AND THAT JEEPS DO THIS, NOW IT IS THERE FOR THE 3RD TIME AND THEY SAY THEY WHEN THEY DRIVE IT, IT STILL HAS NOT JUMPED OUT OF GEAR. JEEP ALSOHAS BEEN LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID AND POWER STEERING FLUID THAT HAS BEEN THERE 2 TIMES TO BE FIXED. STILL A PROBLEM. JEEP WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. BOUGHT VEHICLE BRAND NEW SO I WOULD NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. WILL CONTACT LEMON LAW SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND I FEEL THE DEALER JUST DOES NOT WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM GETTING THE RUN AROUND. I SPENT ALOT OF MONEY ON THIS VEHICLE AND FEEL I GOT STUCK. *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SHAKES WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP OR WHEN I ACCELERATE AT 40 MPH. IT IS SCARY, IT FEELS LIKE DRIVING ON BLACK ICE. I HAD THE TIRES CHECKED AND THEY ARE FINE. THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COMPONENT. ALSO, FREEDOM TOP HAS LEAKED AND STAINED MY SEATS. DEALERSHIP JUST FIXED IT A MONTH AGO. ALSO, THE JEEP WAS LEAKING OIL, DEALERSHIP JUST FIXED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET 3 WEEKS AGO. IT IS SCHEDULED TO GO BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR THIS STEERING ISSUE AND IT IS RUSTING ON BOTH DOORS. POOR, POOR QUALITY. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE LOOKED UP RECALLS AND NONE ARE LISTED FOR MY ISSUES , SO I AM STARTING TO FEEL LIKE I OWN A LEMON. I HAVE WROTE TO JEEP AND CHRYSLER, WAITING ON THEIR REPLIES. JEEP OWNER NEED TO BE AWARE OF THIS SHAKING YOU OFF THE ROAD, IT IS LIKE YOU ARE SWERVING OUT OF CONTROL, VERY SCARY. IT IS GOING TO CAUSE FATALITIES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER AT ABOUT 35-40 MPH OVER A ROUGH SPOT ON THE ROAD, I EXPERIENCED HORRIBLE FRONT END SHAKE THAT I COULD NOT CONTROL UNTIL I PULLED THE CAR OVER. I'M VERY LUCKY THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE IN FRONT OR IN BACK OF ME BECAUSE I HAD NO CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. I LOOKED INTO THIS ONLINE AND HAVE LEARNED IT'S CALLED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND IT'S HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER JEEP OWNERS. *TR

AT 13K MILES I WAS FORCED TO PAY FOR A NEW CLUTCH. THIS IS MY SECOND JEEP, SO I CLEARLY KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IT. AT THIS LOW MILEAGE THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE AND HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS. JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. JEEP REFUSED TO EVEN DISCUSS THE MATTER. WHEN I RETURNED A CALL IN THEIR FINDINGS I WAS REPEATEDLY READ THE E-MAIL I SENT AND NOTHING WAS EXPLAINED. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE LOANER OVER THE WEEKEND, THEN TRIED TO FORCE ME TO PAY FOR IT. THE CLUTCH EXPLODED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THERE IS A POORLY DESIGNED BRACKET RIGHT BEHIND THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS HEAD. THE BRACKET HAS A SHARP METAL CORNER RIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS HEADS. IF THERE EVEN SMALL ACCIDENT, THERE WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT TRAUMA TO THE HEAD IF THEY WERE TO HIT THE BRACKET. CURRENTLY THIS BRACKET IS ONLY COVERED BY A STYROFOAM PIECE. THIS BRACKET SITS RIGHT ON THE ROLL BAR AND CAN EASILY BE FIXED THE TRAUMA THAT INDIVIDUALS WOULD GET FROM THIS BRACKET WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT. IT IS LOCATED RIGHT NEXT TO THE PLASTIC SOUND BAR UNDERNEATH SOME STYROFOAM. *TR

WINDSHIELD CRACKED ON MY 2008 JK WRANGLER. RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE, SEEMS AS IF THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR

EXCESSIVE FRONT END WOBBLE, WHEEL HOP AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35-65 MPH WHEN ENCOUNTERING SMALL CHANGES IN ROAD SURFACE(IE. SLIGHT POTHOLE, EXPANSION JOINT, RIPPLING OF ROAD). ALSO KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE AMONG JEEP OWNERS AND DEALERS. *TR

MY COMPLAINT IS A FUTURE FAILURE. I OWN A 2007 JEEP WRANGLER. AT THE TIME OF THIS COMPLAINT, MY VEHICLE HAS 18,000 MILES. THE TORSION BAR ON THE FRONT END, IS WORN OUT. FELLOW OWNERS COMPLAIN OF THIS PROBLEM. BEING A STEERING ISSUE, IT COULD LEAD TO SEVERE INJURIES IN THE FUTURE. I AM THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

SOFT TOP LEAKS ON BOTH SIDE IN THE FRONT. SEATS GETTING STAINED AND THE CARPET IS STARTING TO SMELL. WATER STAINS ON THE DOORS, STEERING COLUMN, AND DOWN THE DASH. *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY NEW 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA ON THE HIGHWAY , THE HOOD SEEMS LOSE AS IT "MOVES" AROUND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IF THERE IS A WIND THE HOOD POPS UP A FEW INCHES. ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY A BIG TRANSPORT TRUCK WENT BY IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND I SWEAR THE HOOD JUMPED UP 6 INCHES. CHRYSLER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. WHAT IS SO NORMAL ABOUT THE HOOD THREATENING TO OPEN? WHAT ABOUT IN A FEW YEARS WHEN THE (RUBBER/PLASTIC) HOOD RETAINERS START GETTING OLD? *TR

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AT 50-60MPH. ALL OF SUDDEN I JUST LOSE POWER AND MY SENSOR LIGHTS COME ON IN THE DASH. I HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OVER WITHOUT ANY STEERING AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON, THIS USUALLY WORKS BUT RECENTLY THIS HAPPENED AND WHEN I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AND IT DID THE SAME THING AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 100 MORE FEET AND WOULD DIE OUT AFTER ABOUT 3 ATTEMPTS AND I COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE STARTED, I LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND THEN IT RESTARTED AND I DROVE IT APPROXIMATELY 12 MILES WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE DRIVING IT INTO THE SHOP. IT HAS NOW BEEN INTO THE SHOP TWICE FOR THE PROBLEM, IT HAS HAPPENED MORE TIMES THAN I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO BE FIXED BECAUSE I WAS TOLD TO KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN. AFTER THE FIRST TIME OF BEING APPARENTLY FIXED IT A FEW DAYS AFTER IT WAS FIXED AND THEY RAN A TEST ON IT AND SAID IT SHOULD BE FINE AND TO KEEP DRIVING IT. IT THEN DID IT ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER AND I BROUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP AGAIN, THIS S WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. *TR

WRANGELR RUBICON 2 DR STALLING AT INTERSTATE / HIGHWAY SPEED, STARTED DOING THIS AT APPROX 10,000 MILES. STARTED DOING THIS 152 MILES IN TO A 320 MILE TRIP AND DID THIS NUMEROUS TIMES BETWEEN 10,000 AND 10,090 MILES WERE I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE INTERSTATE AS THE VEHICLE ENGINE QUIT COMPLETELY OR SOMETIMES YOU COULD PUMP THE GAS AND THE ENGINE WOULD COME BACK TO LIFE, BUT NOT OFTEN. FILLED UP WITH GAS AT 10,090, THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD GOTTEN BAD GAS HOWEVER IT HAPPENED AGAIN APPROX 68 MILES INTO THE NEW FULL TANK OF GAS AND CONTINUED HAPPENING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WERE I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND IT WOULD DIE. JEEP RESTARTED EVERYTIME, SOMETIMES IT WOULD TAKE NUMEROUS TIMES TO RESTART. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. I LIMPED TO MY DESTINATION ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT MOST CHYRSLER/JEEP DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ARE CLOSED ON SATURDAYS SO LOOKS LIKE I AM STUCK UNTIL MONDAY TO GET IT TO A DEALER IN A DIFFERENT STATE FROM WHERE I LIVE. CAN'T BELIEVE IT. *TR

I DON'T KNOW WHO TO CONTACT OR WHAT TO DO, I WAS THE OWNER OF A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE 9/11/08 I ORDERED IT BRAND NEW FROM FACTORY THROUGH A DEALER. YESTERDAY MAY 31, 2008 AT AROUND 630 PM OR SO. I WAS DRIVING TO A LOCAL STATE PARK WHEN MY VEHICLE BURST INTO FLAMES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AREA, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45MPH DOWN A GRAVEL RODE. THERE WAS A POP AND THE VEHICLE LOST DRIVE POWER AT THE SAME TIME THE FLAMES SHOT OUT FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DIRT ROAD JUMPED OUT AND GRABBED MY CELL PHONE AND CALLED 911. NO ONE WAS INJURED FROM IT LUCKY BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE BEING LESS THEN A YEAR OUT OF THE FACTORY WOULD DO THAT. I LIVE IN MISSOURI VALLEY, IA THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, SCOTT ORTIZ *TR

HOOD RAISES UP 2 TO 3 INCHES DURING HIGH WINDS OR WHEN PASSED BY APPROACHING LARGE TRUCK. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2 DOOR 4X4 CLUTCH SQUEAL BEEN TO SHOP 3 TIMES REPLACED DISK ON 2ND VISIT PER TSB NOISE STATED AGAIN IN 200 MILES. I WENT BACK A 3RD TIME DEALER SAYS "CAN'T REPRODUCE SOUND AFTER 3 DRIVES" I PULL OUT OF LOT WITHIN 200 YARDS THE NOISE IS AUDIBLE. VEHICLE HAS 1300 MILES ON IT ALSO ROOF LEAKS 3 TIMES IN SHOP TO FIX STILL NOT CORRECT MISSING PARTS OF SEAL ON ROOF. *TR

MY BRAND NEW 2008 JEEP WRANGLER X 4X4 BEGAN THE DREADED "DEATH WOBBLE" (LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL) AROUND 550 MILES. THOUGHT I WAS ABOUT TO "DIE". HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES UNTIL I GOT IT TO THE DEALER. AFTER SEARCHING JEEP FORUMS AND SUCH, I FOUND THAT 1000S OF JEEP OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM, WITH MANY JEEP MODELS. AND LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT CONSIDER THE DEATH WOBBLE AN ISSUE. MY FAITH IN MANUFACTURERS HAS DROPPED TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PIT. THIS IS AN EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I'M GOING TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO GET THIS JEEP DEFECT ON NATIONAL TV. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. *TR

ALL ELECTRONIC FAILURE CLUSTERS LIGHTS UP ON DASH. WIPERS AND HEADLIGHTS COME ON AND CANNOT BE SWITCHED OFF. INDICATOR LAMPS, SPEEDOMETER AND RPM ARE NONE RESPONSIVE. ALARM SOUNDS REPEATEDLY UNTIL THE PROBLEM SELF CORRECTS. ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS SUCH AS RADIO SHUTS DOWN. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT AFFECT THE MOTOR. *TR

1) JEEP WOULD NOT START AFTER SHUT DOWN 2) HAD TO GET A TOW TO DEALERSHIP 3) WIRELESS MODULE FOR C-BUS QUIT WORKING, ORDERED NEW ONE. *TR
