2008 Jeep Wrangler 4-Dr 4x4 complaints

MY CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT IN INTERMITTENTLY LIGHTING AND CHIMING. AFTER SOME RESEARCH THE PROBLEM MATCHES EXACTLY WITH A CLOCK SPRING PROBLEM THAT WAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR THE 2007 MODEL AND THE 2008 RIGHT-HAND DRIVE MODELS. MINE IS A 2008 LEFT HAND DRIVE WITH NO RECALL ON THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND PART AS THE OTHERS.

THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER AND OTHER JEEPS HAVE A PROBLEM OF NOT STARTING. IT SOUNDS A IF THE BATTERY, STARTER, BATTERY TERMINALS, IGNITION, SHIFT LEVER, OR A NUMBER OF OTHER ITEMS ARE THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS NO ONE CAN PIN POINT THE PROBLEM, AND PEOPLE LIKE ME ARE PAYING MONEY TO CHANGE OUT PARTS THAT ARE NOT BAD. IF YOU SEARCH THE WEB THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT COVERS ALL OR A LOT OF JEEPS, AND CHRYSLER HAS THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND WHEN IT COME TO TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEIR SOLUTION IS JUST KEEP CHANGING OUT PARTS UNTIL YOU ARE BROKE OR TRADE THE CAR IN, AND PASS THE PROBLEM ON. IN MY CASE I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY THE STARTER BATTERY TERMINALS TOOK OUT THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THE TROUBLE SHOOTING I HAVE DONE IS UP IN THE AIR BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ONLY WHEN IT WANTS TO FAIL. YOU CAN START IT IN PARK SOMETIMES, BUT IF IT FAILS YOU CAN MOVE THE SHIFT TO NEURAL AND IT WILL START. YOU CAN START IT A HUNDRED TIME BUT IT WILL FAIL.

TIPM FAILURE. HORN, WIPERS, WINDSHIELD GO OFF WHILE DRIVING, WOULD NOT STOP EVEN WITH VEHICLE OFF. HAVE TO PULL BATTERY CABLE. WOULD ALSO GO OFF BY JUST OPENING DOOR, KEY NOT IN IGNITION. AUTO TRANSMISSION STOPPED SHIFTING GEARS, A/C FAN STOPPED WORKING.

SAND CASTINGS IN THE HEATER CORE. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND JEEP HAS AT LEAST ONE TSB BULLETIN ABOUT IT. THE SYMPTOM IS "NO HEAT TO DRIVER SIDE" DOCUMENTED FIXES ARE DOING A FULL FLUSH AND REPLACEMENT OF THE HEATER CORE. THERE ARE COUNTLESS CASE NUMBERS ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS PROBLEM.

THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AT N WHARTON MAINT ST NJ 07885 THE CAR DID GOT IN FIRE.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND DINGS EVERY 30 SECS, THE HORN DOESN'T WORK. I MADE AN APT WITH THE DEALERSHIP THERE WAS NO SENSE OF URGENCY TO GET ME IN, DROPPED IT OFF ON A FRIDAY TO BE TOLD TO BRING IT BACK TODAY. THEY QUICKLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING WIRING FAILURE AND EXPLAINED IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS A $420.00 FIX TO REPAIR A SAFETY ISSUE, AND LUCKY FOR ME THEY HAPPEN TO HAVE THE PART JUST LAYING AROUND. SOUNDS TO ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JEEP. JEEP HAS A RECALL FOR RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES BUT NOT FOR THE LEFT LIKE I HAVE.

WINDSHEILD WIPERS TURN ON AUTOMATICALLY WON'T STOP SIMULTANEOUSLY HORN HONKS, LIGHTS FLASH - HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AND WHEN DRIVING. FAULTY TIPM.

CLOCKSPRING FAILURE RESULTING IN AIRBAG LIGHT/ALARM GOING ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING.

MY 2008 WRANGLER RUBICON HAS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WARNING BELL RINGING. THE LIGHT AND BELL RING AFTER VEHICLE IS STARTED AND IN MOTION. IT WILL OCCASIONALLY RESET BUT THEN RETURN AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. IT HAPPENS UNDER ALL CONDITIONS OF DRIVING. TROUBLE CODE INDICATES AIRBAG ISSUE. DEALER STATES CLOCKSPRING IS DEFECTIVE. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY OR MAY FALSELY DEPLOY AND POSSIBLY INJURE ME OR MY PASSENGERS.AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS IT APPEARS THAT HUNDREDS OF FELLOW JEEP OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME CLOCKSPRING FAILURE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A RECALL ISSUE BY THE MFG. THIS COMPLAINT IS TO BE CONSIDERED AS A FORMAL COMPLAINT/CONCERN ABOUT A SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL BE A RECORD IN THE EVENT THAT SAID PART FAILURE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DEATH OR INJURY

THIS MORNING I OPENED THE UNLOCKED FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND THE CRAZINESS BEGAN - DOORS LOCKED ON THEIR OWN, HORN STARTED BLARING, HEADLIGHTS TAILIGHTS AND HAZARDS STARTED FLASHING, FRONT AND BACK WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING, WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID STARTED SHOOTING OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS - NOTHING HAPPENED. USED THE KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR - AGAINST THE SYSTEM TRYING TO RELOCK. THEN CRANKED THE ENGINE TO TRY AND GET EVERYTHING TO STOP. IT DID NOT STOP. I TURNED OFF THE JEEP THEN POPPED THE HOOD AND DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL. ALL THE CRAZINESS STOPPED. I WAITED @5 MINUTES AND THEN RECONNECTED THE BATTERY. ALL THE CRAZINESS STARTED AGAIN. SO I PULLED THE NEGATIVE AND THE POSITIVE FROM THE TERMINAL HOPING TO RESET THE SYSTEM. I HAVE NOT RECONNECTED THE SYSTEM TO TRY AGAIN. I AM WORRIED THAT EVEN IF THE CRAZINESS DOESN'T START ONCE I RECONNECT THE BATTERY, IF I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT BEGINS IT MAY CAUSE ME TO WRECK. I WILL SEND A FOLLOW-UP EMAIL. THANKS.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER TO WORK ONE SUNNY MORNING DOING APPROXIMATELY 80MPH ON THE HIGHWAY I DRIVE DAILY, I LOST ALL ENGINE PRESSURE AND SMOKE BEGAN TO POUR OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND SAW OIL DRAINING FROM MY ENGINE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST AUTOMOTIVE SHOP AND UPON FUTHER INSPECTION THEY SAID THAT I BLEW A HEAD GASKET. BOTH OF THE MECHANICS SAID THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN A GASKET COMPLETELY BLOW OUT OF THE MOTOR AND SAID THAT THEY FELT THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY GASKET TO BEGIN WITH WHICH CAUSE THE MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE ENGINE. NOW OF COURSE THERE IS NO WARRENTY COVERAGE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE 5 YRS INSPECTION WAS NOT COMPLETED, WHICH IS REQUIRED ACCORDING TO SOMEWHERE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND IT HAS NEVER EVEN LEFT THE PAVEMENT, NO TRAILS OR WATER, 58K MILES. CHRYSLER/JEEP REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BASICALLY SAID THAT THIS MY FAULT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. ALMOST MAKES THIS GIRL WANT TO BUY A FORIEGN CAR.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND DINGING ON AND OFF EVERY 30 SECONDS OR SO. WHEN DIAGNOSED AT DEALERSHIP THEY ARE SAYING IT'S A CLOCK SPRING MALFUNCTION.

WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND HAS REMAINED ILLUMINATED SINCE. THE LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS AT OR NEAR FULL DEFLECTION IN EITHER DIRECTION. BASED ON MY RESEARCH IT IS LIKELY A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING, WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED IN THE 2007 MODEL BUT NOT 2008, DESPITE IT BEING AN IDENTICAL PART INSTALLED IN A NEARLY IDENTICAL VEHICLE. THIS INDICATION IS A DIRECT ISSUE OF SAFETY AS IT SHOWS THERE COULD BE A FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY AIRBAG SENSOR IS CONTINUOUSLY COMING ON AND OFF. I NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES BUT I SUSPECT THERE IS SOMETHING TO THIS. AS WELL...MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS ALWAYS ON THE FRITZ. SOME DAYS THE RADIO WORKS...SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T. MY ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND NO ONE FINDS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE...

AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. SEEMS TO BE MORE FREQUENT DURING TIMES OF DAMP CONDITIONS OR HIGH HUMIDITY.

WHEN BRAKING FROM A SPEED OF 60MPH OR GREATER, THE FRONT END STEERING BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE BACK AND FORTH. IT WOULD ONLY SUBSIDE WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VIBRATION FELT LIKE AN UNSTABLE OSCILLATION THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE A SHARP TURN IF THE BRAKE WAS NOT RELEASED. THIS SYMPTOM WAS REPEATABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A JEEP DEALER FOR SERVICING. THEY ATTRIBUTED THE PROBLEM TO "STEERING DAMPER HAD PLAY AND WAS LEAKING". PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED BY REPLACING THE DAMPER AND ASSOCIATED HARDWARE (HEX BOLT AND LOCKING HEX NUT).

I TURNED MY JEEP ON THIS MORNING AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYED ON FOR A COUPLE OF EXTRA SECONDS, SO I SAY OK. WHEN DRIVING IT STARTED GOING ON AN OFF EVERY 10 SECONDS ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAY BAD CLOCK SPRING, SO I CHECK FOR RECALLS AND THEIR IS ONE FOR THE 2007 JEEP FOR CLOCK SPRING BUT NOT FOR THE 2008 MODEL WHICH HAS PRACTICALLY THE SAME AS THE 2007. I'S AN EXPENSIVE PART AND IT SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR IT. I HAVE READ ABOUT A LOT OF 2008 MODELS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE.

WHILE DRIVING, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON WITH A SINGLE WARNING CHIME. AFTER 5-10 SECONDS LIGHT GOES AWAY BUT RETURNS SOON AFTERWARDS AGAIN REMAINING ON FOR 5-10 SECONDS. SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE DURING CITY DRIVING THAN HIGHWAY DRIVING. I VIEW THIS AS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE JEEP OWNER'S MANUAL STATES, "AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IN YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL COULD MEAN YOU WONT HAVE THE AIRBAGS TO PROTECT YOU IN A COLLISION." I HAVE ALSO HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 2008 JEEP WRANGLERS.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND CHIME COME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND THE FAULT READS DRIVERS SQUIB. IT IS RELATED TO A CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. JEEP HAS RECALLED THE 2007 MODEL YEAR WRANGLERS AND 2008 RHD WRANGLERS BUT NOT THE LHD. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THIS IS WHAT CONTROLS THE DRIVERS AIRBAG IN A CRASH. JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND MAKE THE NEEDED REPAIRS. IF YOU LOOK ON DIFFERENT WEB SITES THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. AMERICA WHAT HAPPENED TO BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS, LETS PASS THE BUCK SOME MORE AND PLAY THE BLAME GAME. ENOUGH JEEP STAND UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AFTER ALL YOUR BRAND NAME IS ON THE PRODUCT. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. CHECKED CODES. CODE FOR AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING. JEEP RECALLED 2007 MODEL WRANGLERS FOR THIS PROBLEM. SAME PART NUMBERS AS NEWER JEEP CLOCKSPRINGS. WHY HASN'T JEEP EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE NEWER JEEP MODELS.SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SLOT OR JEEP WRANGLERS ARE EXPERIENCING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4. WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT END STABILIZER BAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. MA 10/2 UPDATED 12/28/2015 *JS

I BOUGHT AN 08 WRANGLER THE END OF MAY 2015 AND EXPERIENCED THE GAS SPILL AT FILL UP ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. I CALLED ARMORY JEEP HERE IN ALBANY NY ABOUT THE ISSUE AND CHRYSLERS (JEEP) TSB #14-003-12 WHICH "SHOULD" COVER THE REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE. WELL AFTER GIVING MY VIN# I WAS TOLD JEEP WOULD NOT COVER MY REPAIR BECAUSE MY PARTICULAR JK WAS MANUFACTURED FOR CANADA. SO I WENT TO JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO AGAIN DENIED ME THE REPAIR. IN THE END THE CAR DEALER WITH WHOM I BOUGHT FROM, OFFERED TO DO THE REPAIR. GREAT! THE DEALER GOT THE MOPAR FUEL FILLER TUBE #52059821AQ AND INSTALLED JULY 20TH (AGAIN FREE OF CHARGE - SOMETHING JEEP SHOULD BE COVERING). FILLED UP TONIGHT, JULY 22ND...AND GUESS WHAT? SAME SPILLAGE.

I WAS ON 75 SOUTH BOUND GOING 70 MPH. I HAD JUST GOTTEN ON THE INTERSTATE FROM THE BRUCE B DOWNS ENTRANCE. AFTER THE RIGHT LANE ENDED I SWITCHED TO THE MIDDLE LANE. COMING UP TO FLETCHER EXIT, THE GEARS CHANGED. ALMOST LIKE THE CAR GAVE OUT. I LOOKED DOWN, I DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. ON MY WAY TO LOOK BACK UP I SEE SMOKE FROM THE HOOD AND SMOKE THROUGH THE RARE VIEW MIRROR. GREY SMOKE IN THE FRONT AND BLACK IN THE BACK. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE GAGES AND IT WAS OVER HEATING. LOOKED TO MY LEFT, NO CARS, PULLED OVER TO THE LEFT EMERGENCY LANE. AS I OPENED MY DOOR, THE FIRE WAS ALREADY SPITTING OUT FROM THE FRONT LEFT TIRE. I GRABBED MY PHONE. AS I'M WALKING AWAY, THE FIRE WAS GROWING ENGULFING THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WITHIN MINUTES, LAW ENFORCEMENT ARRIVED ON SCENE AND WE WATCHED THE WHOLE VEHICLE GO UP IN FLAMES. AT FIRST 2 FIRE TRUCKS PUT OUT THE FIRE. ONCE THEY LEFT AND WE WERE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE, IT CAUGHT FIRE AGAIN. THE STATE TROOPER HAD TO CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO COME BACK OUT. BEFORE THE FIRE STARTED, THERE WASN'T A NOISE OR A LIGHT BLINKING TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE FELT THE SAME AS IT ALWAYS DID. EVERYTHING JUST HAPPENED FAST AND ALL AT ONCE. I NEVER GOT ANY RECALL NOTICES. I HAD THE JEEP FOR 2 MONTHS. INSURANCE COMPANY NEVER DID AN INVESTIGATION BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT TO INVESTIGATE. I NEVER CALLED CHRYSLER BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE PROOF WHO WAS AT FAULT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE WITH JEEPS UNTIL I BOUGHT MY NEW C

AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS TURNING OFF AND ON FOR NO REASON.

2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA HAS HAD ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE ISSUES INCLUDING STALLING OUT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AS WELL AS NOT STARTING. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY CHANGED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE HAD ISSUES SUCH AS ALL THE LIGHTS, BUTTONS, ALERT/WARNING LIGHTS GOING OFF SIMULTANEOUSLY FOLLOWED BY COMPLETE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SHUT-OFF REQUIRING TOW-SERVICE TO DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BATTERY AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AFTER THAT I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE STALLS AND NON-STARTS AND THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN SAYS I NEED A NEW BATTERY. I HAVE HAD THREE BATTERIES IN THREE YEARS. THE HORN HAS STOPPED WORKING AROUND 50,000 MILES. THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE MY STEERING WHEEL AND COMPLETE STEERING COLUMN. I DECIDED I COULD LIVE WITHOUT A HORN FOR A SHORT WHILE. THE NEXT TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPORTED THAT I NEED A NEW CLOCKSPRING WHICH ALSO CONTROLS MY AIRBAGS WHICH "MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT STILL BE FUNCTIONAL." SEEING AS I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BEFORE, INCLUDING MALFUNCTIONS IN THE ALERT/WARNING LIGHTS, THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT TELL FOR SURE IF MY AIRBAGS WORK OR NOT. THE LOCKS TO MY JEEP HAVE STOPPED WORKING FROM BOTH THE INSIDE DOOR SWITCH AND THE KEY FOB. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THIS AS A "TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE" (TIPM) MALFUNCTION RESULTING IN LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER. THEY EXPLAINED THAT THERE IS A BACK-ORDER ON TIPM PIECES NATIONWIDE AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN I COULD GET

MY JEEP'S HORN BEGAN HONKING, WIPERS CAME ON, DOOR LOCKS BEGAN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. NOTHING STOPPED UNTIL I GOT HOME AND MY HUSBAND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. HE CONNECTED IT SEVERAL HOURS LATER AND IT WAS FINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME NOTHING COULD BE DONE AS THE PROBLEM HAD STOPPED. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING OCCURRED ALONG WITH THE A/C SHUTTING OFF. WE WENT THROUGH THE SAME STEPS; DISCONNECT BATTERY, RECONNECT AND TOOK TO DEALERSHIP. AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT THEY REALLY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE BECAUSE NOTHING WAS HAPPENING AT THAT POINT. LAST NIGHT MY JEEP BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND SCARED ME AS I COULD NOT REGAIN CONTROL. I HAD TO SLOW AND PULL OVER SO IT COULD STOP. MY HUSBAND CAME TO GET ME AND WAS FOLLOWING ME WHEN IN ADDITION TO THE PAST THINGS HAPPENING (I CALL IT POSSESSED), THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON; BRAKE, ENGINE, ABS, BATTERY, ETC. IT THEN STALLED AS I WAS TURNING. LUCKILY THE WOMAN COMING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION SLOWED AND WENT AROUND OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. MY HUSBAND TOWED THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT THERE, AND TOLD THEM TO FIX IT AS IT IS A REAL ROAD HAZARD. IN READING ABOUT JEEP COMPLAINTS, I'M ASSUMING IT IS A "TIPM" PROBLEM AND SOMETHING CALLED A "DEATH WOBBLE". I AM ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED THAT THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, BLINKING INTERMITTENTLY, INDICATING A LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE AIRBAG CIRCUIT., ISSUE APPEARS TO BE A BAD AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY. JEEP HAS RECALLED RHD VEHICLES OF THE SAME MODEL YEAR, BUT NOT LHD.

"ON THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING."

PLEASE HAVE CHRYSLER/JEEP FIX THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE AT THEIR EXPENSE. THEY SAY IT IS BECAUSE OWNERS OF JEEP WRANGLERS MODIFY THEIR JEEPS FOR OFF ROAD DRIVING AND THAT CAUSES THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. I HAVE NOT MODIFIED MY JEEP AND IT SCARES ME TO DEATH WHEN IT WOBBLES. THIS IS CHRYSLERS PROBLEM NOT MINE.

MY JEEP KEEPS DOING A DEATH WOBBLE ON THE HIGHWAY TODAY I TOOK MY 68 YEAR OLD MOTHER TO AIRPORT AND IT DID IT GOING 55 ON WAY BACK DID IT AT 60 AND I LOST MY TRANSMISSION VFLUID ON 476 HAD TO BE TOWED

I JUST BOUGHT THIS 08 JEEP WRANGLER JK IN 1/10/2015 AND ON THE WAY HOME I STOP TO FILL IT UP WITH GAS AND ONCE FULL THE OVER SPILL AND DIDN'T SHUT WHEN IT'S SUPPOSE TO WENT ALL OVER ME. EVERY TIME I FILL THE JEEP UP WITH GAS IT OVERFLOWS EVERYWHERE. *TR

THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP WRANGLER. THEY HAVE ALREADY RECALLED THE 2007 MODEL YEARS FOR FAULTY AND POORLY DESIGNED CLOCK SPRINGS AND HAVE MADE A REPLACEMENT PART THAT IS MUCH BETTER. THEY HAVE RECALLED THE 2008 ONLY RIGHT HAND DRIVE JEEPS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN GIVING THE FACT THAT IT AFFECTS THE CRUISE CONTROL, AIR BAGS, AND HORN. SHAME ON THEM FOR NOT WANTING TO CORRECT AND REPAIR A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

DURING NORMAL DRIVING AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT FAILS TO EXTINGUISH. DIAGNOSTICS IS A FAILED AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED GOING ON AND OFF. I WAS INFORMED BY A CHRYSLER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING AND THAT MY AIR BAGS WERE INOPERATIVE. *TR

DRIVING 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY WHEN FRONT END OF CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY . HAD TO PULL OVER AND STOP. IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES DURING MY TRIP. 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. *TR

AS I WAS STOPPING AT LOCAL ARBY'S RESTAURANT FOR LUNCH, MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED STARTED SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IT SMELLED LIKE ELECTRICAL WIRES BURNING. IT IGNITED BEFORE I COULD EXIT THE VEHICLE AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES IT WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THERE WERE SEVERAL WITNESSES WHO SAW THE FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 AND WITHIN MINUTES THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE JEEP IS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

ON THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING. *TR

I WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY IN PARK WITH MY VEHICLE RUNNING AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. IT IS A BAD CLOCK SPRING CAUSING THE ISSUE.THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS OTHER 2008 MODELS WITH SAME PROBLEM A BAD CLOCK SPRING. CHRYSLER WILL NO FIX THIS ON LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLE ONLY RHD.. I TOOK THIS FROM A FORUM WHERE I GUY CALLED CHRYSLER. (I HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY AND PRETTY MUCH JEEP TOLD ME TO GO POUND SAND ON IT. THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND UNTIL FORCED BY THE NHTSB OR WHOMEVER THAT IS THEY SAID, THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY IT AT ALL.) *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT AND CHIME COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, BUT NEARLY CONSTANTLY. THIS INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. BASED ON ONLINE RESEARCH, THE LIKELY CAUSE IS THAT THE CLOCK SPRING HAS GONE BAD, AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR JEEP WRANGLERS FROM 2007 TO PRESENT. THERE IS NOT, HOWEVER, A RECALL THAT COVERS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CLOCK SPRING, SO OWNERS ARE STUCK WITH A BILL TO THE TUNE OF $500 IF THE WANT TO FIX IT AND HAVE WORKING AIRBAGS. *TR

GAS WILL SPILL OUT WHEN NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. *TR

MY JEEP WILL RANDOMLY SQUIRT WIPER FLUID, LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS, HONK HORN, TURN OFF AND ON HEADLIGHTS, ETC. ALL THINGS THAT ARE CONTROLLED BY THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AND IT DIFFERS EACH TIME, BUT I AM WORRIED THAT IT IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY AND WILL HAPPEN WHEN I AM ON A HIGHWAY - IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE DANGEROUS. DUE TO ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ABOUT IT FROM JEEP OWNERS OF MY YEAR AND THE RECALL ON PREVIOUS CHRYSLER'S DUE TO THE TIPM, A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED FOR THESE. *TR

VARIOUS DASH LIGHTS TURN ON AND BACK OFF AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS. I HAD THE PROBLEM IN AUG. 2013, AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING FOR $550. LESS THAN TWO YEARS LATER, AND THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED. VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THAT ONLY THE 2008 RHD WERE RECALLED.

I HAVE HAD MY BRAKE LINES, AND CALIPERS REPLACED TWICE DUE TO THE FRONT TIRES RUBBING THE BRAKE LINES WHEN TIRES ARE TURNED TO MAX CAPACITY. THE BRAKE LINES WEAR THOUGH AND LEAK FLUID ONTO CALIPERS, PADS, ROTORS, ETC. CAUSING THEM DAMAGE. MY TIRES ARE THE STOCK SIZE AND NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE BESIDES REPLACING TIRES DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, BUT AGAIN, TIRES ARE STOCK SIZE. I HAVE SPENT OVER $1200 DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND SOUNDS A RANDOM CHIME, HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

CLOCK SPRING IS BAD CAUSING THE AIR BAGS NOT TO WORK. *TR

EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE JEEP WITH GAS IT SPRAYS FUEL AT YOU OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER. IT HAPPENS AS SOON AS THE FUEL NOZZLE SHUTS OFF. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR APPROXIMATELY THE 2 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING FOR FUEL TO BE SPRAYED ON YOU EVERY TIME YOU FILL UP. DOES NOT MATTER WHAT GAS STATION EITHER. *TR

ON THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON EVERY OTHER MINUTE WITH A CHIME, AN INDICATION THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MALFUNCTIONING OR INTERFERING WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS.THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. THIS FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE CULPRIT FOR POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT OR PREMATURE DEPLOYMENT WHEN SIMPLY DRIVING AROUND. DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THEIR FAULTY CLOCKSPRING THAT CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS FROM PROPERLY DEPLOYING." *TR

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE ALL OF THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND BLINKED(ABS,ESC,TRACTION CONTROL,BRAKE,SEATBELT) THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. LUCKILY NO VEHICLES AROUND AND I REGAINED CONTROL AFTER GOING IN THE MEDIAN. PUT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND GOT OUT. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED AGAIN TURNING EVERYTHING OFF INCLUDING 4 WAY FLASHERS WHEN I STOPPED AT A LIGHT. IT WAS DARK AND THE JEEP IS DARK GREEN. I HAD A FLASHLIGHT TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I OPENED THE HOOD AND POUNDED MY FIST ON THE MAIN FUSE BOX. AFTER 3 MINUTES THE VEHICLE CAME TO LIFE AND I STARTED IT TO GET OFF ROADWAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD THE JEEP STARTING FLASHING THE ESC LIGHT, THE TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKES, ABS AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD SKIP AND NOT GIVE A READING. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD ALSO FLICKER. JUST TO NOTE THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY ARE GOOD. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME LOSS OF CONTROL IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. *TR
