In it's response to ODI's PE15-025 Information Request letter, FCA identified 1,703 consumer complaints, field reports and legal claims responsive to the subject defect condition on the subject Wrangler vehicles.Six of these reports alleged an air bag non-deployment in a crash in which either the air bag warning light was allegedly on or came on afterward the crash, one of which also alleged injuries as a result of the non-deployment.FCA also provided data on other make, model and model year vehicles using the same clockspring.Additionally FCA provided 16,955 warranty claims related to the …

In a letter dated August 21, 2014, the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to initiate a defect investigation of alleged failures associated with the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) installed in Chrysler SUV?s, trucks, and vans beginning in the 2007 model year. The petitioner alleges that TIPM defects may result in engine stall, airbag non-deployment, failure of fuel pump shutoff resulting in unintended acceleration, fire, and other symptoms. On September 25, 2014, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened DP14-004 …

In its July 29, 2011 response to ODI's May 27, 2011 information request letter, Chrysler provided 153 MY 2007-2008 owner reports, additional to the 28 ODI Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs), which related to the illumination of the air bag light (ABL) due to a faulty clockspring (CS) wiring circuit.The right hand drive (RHD) vehicles, which were first produced in MY 2008 and account for only 1% of vehicle production, accounted for 82 of these 181 reports (45%).The MY2007 left hand drive (LHD) vehicle accounted for 61 of the remaining 92 LHD reports and exhibited a higher complaint rate than …

ODI found the rate of warranty claims related to fuel spit back on the subject vehicles is lower than other vehicles previously recalled to correct defects related to fuel spit back.Although the rate of complaints reported to the agency on the subject vehicles is higher than or similar to the rates experienced in previous investigations where safety recalls were conducted, ODI suspects that the NHTSA safety complaints submitted by subject vehicles owners may have been influenced by internet related publicity both before and during this investigation.A safety-related defect trend has not been …

In a letter dated november 3, 2009, chrysler group llc (chrysler), notified NHTSA that it will conduct a safety recall of approximately 161,000 model year (my) 2007 and 2008 jeep wrangler vehicles built with automatic transmissions.chrysler stated that these vehicles were not equipped with a transmission fluid temperature warning system and the operation of these vehicles beyond the limits of reasonable usage over a period of time could result in transmission failure and in some cases transmission fluid expulsion.the expelled fluid could come in contact with a hot engine or exhaust component …

The defective tow bar assemblies involved in this recall were supplied to chrysler for use on some of its jeep wrangler vehicles.the purpose of this investigation was to identify any additional purchasers of identical or substantially similar defective assemblies and to initiate additional defect reporting and safety recalls as necessary.to accomplish this rmd contacted the supplier of the assemblies, valley towing products, and confirmed no other such assemblies were distributed.this eq is therefore closed.

PURCHASED 2008 JEEP WRANGLER AND AT AROUND 3600 MILES NOTICED SEVERE STEERING ISSUES. STEERING WAS WANDERING AND HAS BECOME ERRATIC. EXCESSIVE SIDE TO SIDE MOVEMENT, EXCESSIVE JIGGLES ON SMALL BUMPS AT LOWER SPEEDS. DANGEROUS STEERING AT 65MPH ON HIGHWAY TO THE EXTENT THAT VEHICLE SWERVES INTO NEXT LANE UNEXPECTEDLY. JEEP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE DANGEROUS ISSUE WITH 2008 AND 2009 STEERING ISSUES THAT INVOLVESTEERING GEAR BOX, SHAFTS AND BALL JOINTS. SECOND OPINION FROM OUTSIDE AGENCY STATED GEAR BOX IS JUNK, SHAFTS NEED REPLACEMENT DUE TO FAULTY ENGINEERING FROM CHRYSLER. MANY MANY JEEP OWNERS ARE HAVING THESE ISSUES AND INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS TO DUE TO THE FAULTY STEERING ON THESE VEHICLES. *JS

VEHICLE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HOOD MAKES A FLUTTERING MOTION AS IF THE LATCHES WILL GIVE WAY RESULTING IN THE HOOD COMING IN CONTACT WITH ROOF AND FRONT WINDSHIELD. THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT TO MAKE THE HOOD ANY TIGHTER WHEN CLOSED.

I HAVE MASSIVE HOOD FLUTTER WHILE DRIVING MY JEEP. ITS FLUTTERED SO MUCH THE PAINT ON WHERE IT RUBBED IS GONE. I'M HONESTLY AFRAID MY HOOD WILL FLY UP WHEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT FLUTTERS SO MUCH. I JUST PICKED A DATE BUT IT DOES IT ALL THE TIME.

HOOD FLUTTERS WHILE DRIVING

HOOD BOUNCES ( FLUTTERING ) DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. REALLY NOTICEABLE WITH GUST OF WIND FROM PASSING CARS

I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THE STICK SHIFTER THAT IS STICK CONSTANTLY CAUSES IT TO POP OUT OF FIRST AND SECOND GEAR WHEN I AM DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY AND HAS BEEN A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THOSE BEHIND ME IN TRAFFIC, AT A LIGHT OR IN A FOUR WAY STOP BELIEVE I AM ACCELERATING WHEN IN FACT I HAVE BEEN KICKED OUT OF EITHER GEAR BACK TO NEUTRAL. I HAVE HAD SOME CLOSE CALLS WITH VEHICLES ALMOST REAR ENDING ME AND FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND THOSE OF OTHERS I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. USUALLY, I WOULD ADDRESS THIS MYSELF BUT AFTER READING COUNTLESS BLOGS AND CONCERNS THIS IS WORTHY OF A RECALL COMPLAINT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS CONCERN REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE COME FORWARD BECAUSE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM BUT JEEP DRIVERS TEND TO THEIR OWN VEHICLES RATHER THAN GOING THROUGH PROPER CHANNELS.

ISSUES STARTED WITH VEHICLE NOT ABLE TO START AND INABILITY TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. BATTERY WOULD TEST GOOD. AFTER DISCONNECTING BATTERY, VEHICLE WOULD START AS USUALLY. ISSUE BEGAN TO ESCALATE WITH OIL LIGHT AND ESP LIGHT RANDOMLY LIGHTING UP ON THE DASH. FINALLY, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND ESP LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATOR WAS UNRESPONSIVE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. I HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS WITH NO RESOLUTION. I AM NOW REPLACING THE COMPUTER IN HOPES THAT IT WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUES. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP IN FOR AUTO SERVICE 5 TIMES SINCE JANUARY.

TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATED CAUSING A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. NO WARNING LIGHT CAME ON.

ELECTRICAL PROBLEM CAUSING STARTING PROBLEMS, ISSUES WITH WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND NO LIGHTS ON DASH OR HEADLIGHTS/BREAK LIGHTS. AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD WILL TURN OFF AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS GO ON ON THEIR OWN. THE HEADLIGHTS AND BREAK LIGHTS WILL ALSO NOT WORK. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND RADIO WILL STILL FUNCTION. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM OR SOLUTION.

DRIVING 40 MPH OR OVER WILL CAUSE CAR TO HARSHLY SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND CONTROL THE VEHICLE. COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON A FREEWAY AS THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR TO STOP SHAKING IS TO COMPLETELY STOP. BECAUSE OF ALL THE SHAKING CAUSES OTHER SUSPENSION AND WHEEL PROBLEMS. BOLTS ON SUSPENSION AND WHEEL START TO LOOSEN UP CAUSING ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR JEEP WRANGLERS FROM 2006 TO PRESENT.

JEEP SPITS FUEL BACK OUT WHEN YOU FILL UP THE TANK. NOT JUST A SMALL AMOUNT EITHER, A GOOD AMOUNT ALL OVER THE JEEP AND THE FLOOR.

JEEP HAS MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. JEEPS TIPM MODULE HAS CAUSED THE JEEP TO DIE WHILE DRIVING, EXPERIENCE LACKING POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO OFF AND SEEMS TO BRAKE ITSELF. I REPLACED ITNLESS THAN A YEAR AGO AND NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING IT IS GOING OUT AGAIN. ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PCM AND PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER.

TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY SHIFTS OUT OF 1ST GEAR WHILE STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP (STOP LIGHT, INTERSECTION, ETC) THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE IS LIKELY TO GET HURT OR KILLED WHEN THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE AND HAS BEEN AFFECTING JEEP OWNERS FOR YEARS. WHY HASN"T JEEP DONE A RECALL ON THIS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE??? THIS HAPPENS AT LEAST TWICE A DAY IF NOT MORE. SOME OWNERS HAVE IT HAPPEN EVERY TIME.

EVERY TIME I REFILL MY GAS TANK IT OVERFLOWS ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I OWNED THE CAR IN 2010 TO MOST RECENTLY YESTERDAY ON 3/12/19. BASED ON PRODUCTION THERE ARE MORE THE 2.1 MILLION JEEP WRANGLERS ON THE ROAD ACCORDING TO PRODUCTION NUMBERS. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A DECENT ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE IF IT OCCURS ON MOST IF NOT ALL JKS. ANY JK OWNER I HAVE TALKED TO HAS THIS SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FAILED ASPECT OF THE VEHICLE

RANDOMLY THE JEEP WILL COMPLETELY GO CRAZY. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WITH FLUID RUN, BLINKERS, HORN, AND ----> THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS. I CALLED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL CHRYSLER. I DID SOME RESEARCH IN JEEP FORUMS ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP WRANGLERS FROM 2007 FORWARD. JEEP HAS A RECALL FOR THE MOST RECENT MODELS, BUT NO RECALL FOR THE PREVIOUS YEARS TO INCLUDE MINE. I'M REALLY CONFUSED HOW THIS HAPPENS TO SO MANY JEEP WRANGLERS AROUND MY YEAR, BUT THERE ARE NO RECALLS. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND DEFINITELY FOR OTHER VEHICLES AROUND.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN COMPLETE POWER LOSS INCLUDING BRAKES, STEERING, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. HORN STARTED CONSTANTLY GOING, FRONT AND REAR WIPERS GOING. TURNED KEY OFF AND REMOVED, BUT EVERYTHING WAS STILL GOING LIKE A POSSESSED CAR. HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET EVERYTHING TO SHUT OFF. MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME IT IS LIKELY A FAILURE OF THE CAR'S TIPM, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH JEEPS AND OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. CALLED FCA AND THEY WON'T STSAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, SAYING IT'S NOT ASN ISSUE.

ATTEMPTED TO FILL UP VEHICLE WITH GAS. GAS IS EJECTED FROM FILLER SPOUT AND DOWN THE SIDE OF JEEP. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING TOWED, THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE TOW BAR COULD FAIL DUE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09E044000 (EQUIPMENT). THE CONTACT WAITED MONTHS TO RECEIVE THE PART; HOWEVER, GATOR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (840 S HARBOR CITY BLVD, MELBOURNE, FL 32901, (877) 707-5664) STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

DEVELOPED DEATH WOBBLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES AN HOUR. IN RESEARCHING I SEE CHRYSLER SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN ASSURE YOU IT IS. IT IS A DESIGNED FLAW ACCORDING TO THE MECHANICS I HAD LOOK AT IT. A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT COVER. I LUCKILY SOMEHOW KEPT THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL DESPITE THE STEERING SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY, SO BAD THE VEHICLE LIFTED OFF THE ROAD AND SKIDDED SIDEWAYS.

THE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON AND OFF EITHER STATIONARY OR WHILE DRIVING. THE BLOWER MOTOR, FLASHERS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, HORN, AND THE WIPERS COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY EITHER STATIONARY OR WHILE DRIVING. EITHER THE BATTERY NEEDS TO BE DISCONNECTED OR THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD NEEDS TO BE JIGGLED BEFORE IT WOULD STOP. SCHEDULED TO GO IN THE SHOP FRIDAY FOR THE REPAIR. ODDLY ENOUGH THE DEALERSHIP HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR WORSE IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED.

HEADLIGHTS WILL FLASH 4 TIMES AND THEN TURN OFF. SOMETIMES I AM ABLE TO DRIVE IT AND SOMETIMES NOT. I HAVE BROUGHT TO MECHANIC TWICE NOW FOR THAT ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THEY WORKED FINE FOR HIM,EVEN THOUGH I HAD TO DRIVE WITH JUST FOG LIGHTS THE NIGHT BEFORE. THE SECOND TIME HE PUT IN A NEW SWITCH BUT FOUND THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM AND THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING AGAIN.. I BROUGHT IT HOME AND AGAIN THE LIGHTS DIDN'T WORK. UPON RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT A LOT OF OTHERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON PARTS IT MAY BE, ONLY TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY AND IT IS VERY CONCERNING TO WHETHER OR NOT THE HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT DURING DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *JS

WHILE DRIVING ALL DASH LIGHTS TURN ON HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK WIPERS START WIPING AND WIPER WASHERS START SQUIRTING THE ENGINE STALLS AND WILL NOT START LOOKED INTO ISSUE AND TIPM IS BAD IN ALL 2007-2011 DODGE, CHRYSLER AND JEEP

WHILE IN MOTION CAR DIES AND LIGHTS BEGIN FLASHING, HORN GOES OFF AND ON, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND FLUID ARE ACTIVATED AND DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK.

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER HAD A SAFETY RECALL AFFECTING THE FRONT FENDER WELLS RUBBING THE HARD BRAKE LINES THREE YEARS AFTER PURCHASING THE JEEP NEW. THIS PAST WEEK (4/28/2018) AS I WAS TRAVELING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD MY BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MY ENGINE BEGAN TO SMOKE. AFTER DOWN SHIFTING AND PULLING THE E-BRAKE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP I HAD NOTICED THE BRAKE LINE WHERE IT WAS CONTACTING THE "FIXED" FENDER WELL HAD RUSTED OUT AND BLEW OUT WHILE DRIVING, SENDING BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND RESULTING IN MY JEEP BRAKES NOT WORKING. THE INITIAL "FIX" THAT JEEP USED TO ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM WAS CUTTING THE FENDER WELL WIDER TO NOT TOUCH THE BRAKE LINES BUT OBVIOUSLY THE THREE YEARS IT WAS MAKING CONTACT WAS ENOUGH TO DETERIORATE THE INTEGRITY OF THE LINE AND THEN OVER THE YEARS RUST HAD DEVELOPED AND WEAKENED THE METAL TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN ONLY DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND AS APPOSED TO IN TRAFFIC ON A BUSY ROAD. BRAKE LINES SHOULD NOT CORRODE AND FAIL IN UNDER 10 YEARS.

WHILE DRIVING THE HORN STARTS BLOWING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE WINDSHIELD WASHER ACTIVATES UNCONTROLLABILITY AND WINDSHIELD WIPER ACTIVITY. ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS SOMETIME WON'T LOCK. ELECTRIC WINDOWS SOMETIMES WON'T GO DOWN. THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE TIPM.

JEEP TIPM FAILURE NUMEROUS TIMES. HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING COMPLETELY, AIRBAGS REPORTEDLY NON WORKING, WINSHIELD WIPERS WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO, HORN BLOWS ON ITS OWN. DOOR LOCKS CYCLE ON THEIR OWN. ENGINE WONT SHUT OFF WITH THE KEY UNLESS UNHOOKING THE BATTERY.

TIPM- DOOR LOCKS SHORTED OUT, FUEL PUMP QUITS STRANDING THE VEHICLE ON THE STREET, WILL NOT RESTART WITHOUT PULLING AND RESETTING THE IOD FUSE, CAUSES AIRBAG LIGHT TO FLASH FAULT, REAR WIPER QUITS. THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE OR UNABLE TO BE USED. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW AND WOULDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT THIS IF THROUGH RESEARCH I HAD NOT FOUND HOW MANY FAILURES EXPERIENCED BY MANY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THIS PARTS FAILURE RATE. PARKED THE VEHICLE AND WHEN WENT TO RESTART IT IT WOULD NOT RESART, THEN THE DOORS STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING REPEATEDLY LOCKING ME OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEYS IN IT. I RESET THE IOD FUSE AND IT STARTED. THEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE WARNING LIGHTS IN THE DASH STARTED FLASHING, AIRBAG, TCS, ANTI THEFT, TIRE PRESSURE, ABS, STABILITY CONTROL ALL CAME ON THEN VEHICLE SHUT OFF. IT WOULD START THEN RUN FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DIE. THROUGH RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE RELATED TO THE ANTI THEFT IN THE TIPM-. TRIED REPLACING THE DOOR LOCK FUSE AND IT STARTED ARCING AND SMOKING. VEHICLE IS PARKED NOW WITH A TIPM- ON ORDER. AS STATED PREVIOUSLY, I BOUGHT THIS JEEP NEW AND IF IT WAS NOT SUCH A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER PRODUCTS I WOUL NOT THINK MUCH ABOUT A PART FAILURE AT TEN YEARS.

ALL HEADLIGHTS GO OFF RANDOMLY. STARTED INTERMITTENT, THEN MORE OFTEN CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES AT NIGHT. CHECKED EVERYTHING MULTIPLE TIMES, NOW THEY COME ON AND BLINK 3 TIMES. TIPM MODEL WAS CAUSING PROBLEMS BUT NO CODES. LOOKS LIKE REPEATING ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER AND SHOULD BE RECALL

OUR 2008 JEEP WRANGLER, WHILE PARKED, WITH NO OUTSTANDING ISSUES, HAVING COME FROM THE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP IN FREEHOLD NJ JUST 3 DAYS PRIOR, BURST INTO FLAMES WHILE PARKED. NO FUMES, OVERHEATING OR OTHER PROBLEMS OCCURRED DURING THE 1 HR TRIP TO THE PARKING SPOT. CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES, ALL DOWN TO METAL. COMPLETELY LOST DUE TO FIRE/HEAT. FIREMEN WERE ON THE SCENE TO PUT OUT FLAMES BUT ALL WAS LOST. FIRE IS A MYSTERY TO US. ALWAYS SERVICED AT JEEP DEALERS, SO ALL RECALLS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WHEN VIN INPUT FOR SERVICING...*BF *TR

THERE A FACTORY, MANUFACTUR PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP. WHENEVER I PUT GAS ON THE VEHICLE, IT SPITS OUT THE GAS IF I POUR TOO FAST. I WAS CHECKING ONLINE AND IT STATES THAT CHRYSLER WAS REPLACING GAS TANKS FREE OF CHARGE IF THEY HAD THIS ISSUE. I CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY STATED THEY COULDN'T CHANGE IT BECUASE IT DIDN'T APPEAR IN THE VIN NUMBER. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE IS ADVISING ME THAT THERE IS A LEAK IN THE GAS TANK.

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS BEGUN EXHIBITING VERY STRANGE BEHAVIOR: 1) THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPER SPRAY DOES NOT WORK. THE REAR WIPER SPRAY WORKS FINE. VERY UNUSUAL SINCE BOTH FRONT AND REAR SPRAY USES THE SAME PUMP. THUS POSES A SAFETY ISSUE. 2) THE DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER LOCK WHEN THE LOCK BUTTON IS PRESSED ON THE KEY FOB. THIS IS TRUE FOR EITHER FOB, AND YES, I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERIES. 3) THE CAR SOMETIMES DOES NOT START. THE ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM, AND CAN SOMETIMES BE RESOLVED BY REMOVING THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION, RE-INSERTING THEM AND TRYING AGAIN. SOMETIMES 5 OR MORE ATTEMPTS ARE REQUIRED TO GET THE CAR TO START. IN MY RESEARCH, ALL OF THESE SYMPTOMS POINT TO A FAULTY TIPM MODULE.

AS THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT NIGHT ON A TWO-LANE COUNTRY ROAD AT 35 MPH, THE ELECTRICAL POWER OF THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS, RADIO, INTERIOR POWER, VENTILATION, AND ENGINE. THE DURATION OF THE OUTAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS. THIS POWER OUTAGE OCCURRED JUST PRIOR TO A CURVE AND CAUSED LOSS OF VISION AND ABS BRAKING, CAUSING A SKID AND NARROWLY MISSED COLLIDING WITH A GUARDRAIL. THE POWER THEN CAME BACK ON, AND ALL SYSTEMS APPEARED TO RETURN TO NORMAL. THERE APPEARS TO BE A POWER DISTRIBUTION PROBLEM THAT AFFECTED THE OPERABILITY OF THE VEHICLE, CREATING A HAZARDOUS CONDITION. BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECK OUT OK, SO A POWER SUPPLY PROBLEM IS NOT A ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE.

08 WRANGLER HAS HEAT ISSUES WITH DRIVER SIDE BLOWING COLD AIR AND PASSENGER HOT. WITH RECENTLY THE BLOWER HARDLY WORKING. RESEARCHED THIS QUITE A BIT ONLINE AND SEEMS IS A VERY COMMON AND COSTLY ISSUE WITH THE WRANGLERS. POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP WITHIN HEATER CORE AND OTHER HEAT COMPONENTS SEEM TO BE THE CULPRIT. UNFORTUNATE JEEP DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR VEHICLES AS THIS APPEARS TO BE A LARGE ISSUE AND NOT COVERED UNDER ANY KIND OF VOLUNTARY REPAIRS.

SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER IN 2015 FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IT STARTED TO INTERMITTENTLY NOT START. IT WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER. HAD IT TOWED TO THE SAME LOCAL JEEP DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A FAULTY TIPM. THEY REPLACED THE FAULTY TIPM AND NOW TWO YEARS LATER IT IS DOING THE SAME THING.

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) ITEM HAS FAILED , CAUSING ME TO REPLACE OTHER PARTS DIAGNOSED BY PCM AS BEING FAULTY, BUT REPLACING THOSE PARTS RESULTED IN SAME ERROR CODES. ACTUAL FAULT FOUND TO BE A FAILING TIPM. I HAVE CONSTANT ERROR CODES, RANDOM HORN, OR LACK OF HORN, RANDOM ACTUATING OF STABILITY CONTROL CAUSING ONE CORNER OF JEEP TO BRAKE SUDDENLY AND GIVING THE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT. RANDOM POWER AND FUEL ECONOMY PROBLEMS. SPENT +$600 IN PARTS THAT DID NOT FIX WHAT JEEP SAID WAS PROBLEM, WHEN PROBLEM IS TIPM GIVING THE PROBLEM. JUST WAITING TO SEE IF BURSTS INTO FLAMES, AS HAVE SMELLED HOT WIRES COMING FROM IT RECENTLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE STATIONARY AND IN WHILE MOTION.

ON MY JEEP WRANGLER THE TIPM WENT OUT. I UNDERSTAND THAT 2008 JEEP WRANGLER HAVE THIS AS A RECALL BUT THEY HAVE TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER HASN'T SHOWN UP TO BE A PROBLEM YET OR NEXT IN LINE FOR THIS RECALL. IS THERE A WAY I CAN GET MY JEEP VIN TO SHOW SO I CAN GET THIS FIXED. WHIPPERS ARE GOING OFF EVEN THO ITS OFF. DASH LIGHTS WON'T TURN ON OR SHOW I HAVE ANY FUEL. I CAN NOT CHANGE THE GEAR.

AS THE OTHER FILED COMPLAINTS STATE FUEL SPRAYS FROM THE FILLER WHEN THE TANK NEARS FULL. MINE WILL SPRAY AND THERE IS STILL AVAILABLE SPACE FOR 2-3 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. WITH THE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS AND CONCERNS I SEE ON FORUMS AND OTHER PLACES ONLINE THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT NOR HAS JEEP MADE ANY EFFORT TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE AT THEIR EXPENSE. I DID NOT IN GOOD FAITH PURCHASE A VEHICLE THAT WOULD RUIN MY FINISH, RUIN MY CLOTHES AND POUR GAS ON THE GROUND. I WOULD HOPE SOMEONE WOULD HOLD THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE AND MAKE THIS ISSUE A RECALL AND NOT JUST A TSB - INFECT MULTIPLE TSB'S FOR THE SAME ISSUE - JEEP YOU HAVE A REAL PROBLEM AND YOU SHOULD FIX IT.

THE FUEL SYSTEM DOES NOT SEEM TO RESPOND TO THE SHUT-OFF MECHANISM, WHICH MEANS GAS SPILLS OUT ONTO THE GROUND, THE CAR AND EVEN THE OWNER. THIS PROBLEM HAS GONE ON EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT COULD VERY WELL CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT OR DEAD. I UNDERSTAND THE NHTS HAS 'REVIEWED' THE COMPLAINT AND DETERMINED THAT THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM BUT IT WILL BE FAIR IF THE NHTS COULD RE-OPEN THIS CASE.

MY JEEP STARTED SMOKING 1/2 MILE FROM HOME. TEMP GAUGE AND DASH LIGHTS GAVE NO INDICATION OF TROUBLE. BY 1/4 MILE THE TRANS WAS SLIPPING AND THE BRAKES HAD FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO NURSE IT INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND SOMEONE SAID THEY SAW FLAME. I OPENED THE HOOD AND SAW A GLOW FROM UNDER THE CAR BUT ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION. I ALSO SAW I WAS LEAKING TRANS FLUID. WE USED WATER AND THEN A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO TRY TO PUT IT OUT. 5 MINUTES LATER IT WAS FULLY ENGULFED AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ON IT'S WAY. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF BIG CALLED BUT THERE WAS NOTHING TO BE DONE. THE JEEP WAS A TOTAL LOSS.

MY VEHICLE IS STARTING TO SHOW SYMPTOMS OF THE TIPM FAILING. MY DOORS ARE UNLOCKING BY THEMSELVES, AND SOMETIMES THEY WON'T LOCK. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS NOW FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH. IT LEFT ME STRANDED TWICE NOW WITH A DEAD BATTERY. IT ALL START WITH THE DING AND THE SECURITY LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A MODERATELY HOT DAY (91 DEG AT START OF DRIVE, 80 DEG AT TIME OF INCIDENT ABOUT 55 MINUTES AFTER START), SOME STOP-N-GO TRAFFIC FIRST 40 MINUTES, THEN A STEADY NORMAL CLIMB INTO FOOTHILLS (FROM ABOUT 5400' TO 8200') ON PAVED ROADS, AS VEHICLE WAS TURNING RIGHT AT A Y-INTERSECTION AT TOP OF A HILL, A LARGE BANG WAS HEARD IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOLLOWED BY EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF GREY SMOKE EMANATING FROM SAME. ENGINE TEMPERATURE WAS NORMAL AT THE TIME (FAN HAD ENGAGED A FEW TIMES ALONG THE WAY TO KEEP WITHIN RANGE) AND NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE PRESENT BEFORE OR AFTER INCIDENT. IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND OPENED HOOD. WITHIN ABOUT A MINUTE OF STOPPING A SMALL FIRE BROKE OUT ABOVE THE DRIVERS SIDE MANIFOLD/CAT. I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH USING A TOWEL, BUT NOT BEFORE THE FIRE HAD MELTED SOME WIRE BUNDLES. INITIAL INSPECTION INDICATED A POWER STEERING (ATF) FLUID RUPTURE THAT SPRAYED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, SUBSEQUENTLY FLASHING FROM THE HEAT OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. FORTUNATELY, SITUATION WAS HANDLED QUICKLY BEFORE THE CAR BECAME ENGULFED (AS I'VE NOW LEARNED HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THIS VEHICLE MODEL). VEHICLE IS BEING TOWED TO JEEP DEALER TOMORROW FOR REPAIR. I HAVE NOT YET HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH JEEP REGARDING THIS INCIDENT, BUT FEEL A FAULTY DESIGN HAS PUT MY SAFETY AT RISK. I WILL HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION TO THIS SUBMISSION ONCE AVAILABLE...

COMPLAINTS INVOLVING AIRBAGS- I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT HITTING A TREE, TWO CARS AND ROLLING OVER AND NO AIRBAGS INFLATED.

IN OCTOBER 2016 TOOK MY CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME OF A RECALL OF CLOCK SPRING. I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN 4 TIMES FOR FAULTY CLOCK SPRINGS. MY AIRBAG LIGHTS AND HORN GO OFF AT RANDOM TIMES SOMETIMES MY HORN NEVER WORKS AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT GOES CRAZY WITH THE HORN...LIKE THE CAR IS POSSESSED.

1. HIT A BUMP GOING 55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE. HAD TO HIT THE BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN IMMEDIATE TO 25 MPH. SUPER DANGEROUS ON THE FREEWAY. THANKFULLY THIS WAS A CITY FREEWAY THAT HAD A SPEED LIMIT OF 55MPH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF I WAS GOING FASTER, SAY ON AN INTERSTATE WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 80MPH. 2. WHENEVER I FILL UP THE GAS ALWAYS OVERFLOW. SO EACH TIME NOW I HAVE TO SQUEEZE THE PUMP GENTLY AND HOLD IT FOR THE ENTIRE FILL UP. 3. THE REAR CALIPER STICKS SOMETIMES.

DEATH WOBBLE********************************* (MAIN CONCERN) I HAVE ALMOST DIED A 1000XS DUE TO THIS DEATH WOBBLE. I WENT THROUGH HELL WITH THE PREVIOUS DEALER DEALERSHIP . IT HAS BEEN MANY YEARS BRINGING THE JEEP IN TO GARAGES AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. I HAD TO DELIVER A PART 77 MILES TO AND BACK AND HAD TO STOP OVER A MILLION TIMES WITH MYHEART POUNDING. I AM SICK OF WORRYING ABOUT DYING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SERIOUS ISSUE GOD FORBID PEOPLE THAT HAVE CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONTHE FREEWAY AND LOCAL ROADS. VERY CLOSE DEADLY SITUATIONS. I AM TIRED OF NOONE BELIEVING THIS! THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH JEEP AND NOONE HEARS IT! HOW ARE THEY NOT LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE ???THIS IS THE WORST-FEELING IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MANY GARAGES AND NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING IS WRONG. THERE IS SERIOUS ISSUES AND I AM GOING TO DIE! PLEASE HELP! PLEASE! THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THIS OVERHEATING AND ELECTRICAL...RADIO HASN'T WORKED IN MONTHS ONCE IN A WHILE IT COMES ON INTERMEDIATELY...SEATBELT LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS HAS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM FROM MANY GARAGES AND THEY ALSO CAN NOT FIND WHERE OR WHY....THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE! THE DEATH WOBBLE IS THE MAIN CONCERN BECAUSE IT WILL KILL ME AND ANYBODY ELSE THAT IS HAVING THIS ISSUE. ITS JUST HORRIBLE. THIS VEHICLE TOOK ME OVER A YEAR TO GET INSPECTED BECAUSE OF THIS ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER ISSUE!

AFTER MY VEHICLE SITTING OUTSIDE OF MY JOB FOR 8 HOURS RUNNING WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE I THEN COME OUT TO A DEAD JEEP!, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TIPM WHY WASN'T THIS RECALLED AND WHY IS THE DEALERSHIP MAKING ME RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMETHING I HAD MY JEEP 1 MONTH! SAD TO SAY JEEP IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS THAT MY VEHICLE CAN STAY ON AND CUT OFF WHEN EVER IT WANTS TOO!

OPENED PASSENGER DOOR. FRONT AND REAR WIPERS TURNED ON BY THEMSELVES ON HIGH. 30 SECONDS LATER HORN WENT ON CONSTANT BLAST. STARTED VEHICLE, WIPER AND HORN STILL ON. PULLED KEYS FROM IGNITION, BUT VEHICLE STAYED RUNNING. POPPED CLUTCH TO SHUT OFF. PULLED BATTERY CABLE. EVERYTHING RESET. LATER IN DAY, TRIED TO START, WIPERS TURNED ON BY THEMSELVES AGAIN, HAZZARD LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING - BUT JEEP WOULD NOT START. POWER LOCKS AND WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK. RADIO DID WORK ALONG WITH HEADLIGHTS. STARTER WOULD NOT CLICK OR ENGAGE, IT WAS JUST DEAD. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. TIPM REPLACED TWICE PREVIOUSLY 5 MONTHS AND 9 MONTHS EARLIER. NOW AT DEALERSHIP, BATTERY REHOOKED UP, EVERYTHING IS FINE.

MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS VIBRATING ISSUES WHEN I ACCELERATE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. $4300.00 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. ALL HIGHWAY MILES AND NO OFF ROADING AT ALL. 118,000 MILES ON THE JEEP.

I STARTED SMELLING GAS AROUND MY JEEP . I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER . THEY DID THE CHEK VALVE RECALL . GAS LEAK STILL PRESISTED . SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER . THEY TOLD ME THAT THE WAY THE TANK IS DESIGNED THAT IT WERES THE TANK THIN ON TOP AND STARTS TO LEAK . IT ALSO STARTED TO LEAK AROUND THE FUEL PUMP AREA THEY SAID DUE TO DIRT . THIS WAS A 9 HUNDRED 5 DOLLAR FIX THAT I FEAL IS NOT MY FAULT THE JEEP IS GARAGE KEPT AND ONLY HAS 82000 MILES ON IT . THATS CRAZY TO HAVE TO REPLACE A TANK WITH THAT MANY MILES .

VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING. COMPLETE LOSS.
