2008 Jeep Wrangler 4-Dr 4x4 complaints

PASSENGER SIDE BRAKES COME ON AUTOMATICALLY , ALMOST CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL IN RIGHT HAND TURN ! IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ? *TR

DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON INDICATING A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING. THIS VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO BE DRIVEN OFFROAD IN DUSTY CONDITIONS WHICH IS WHAT CAUSES THE CLOCK SPRING TO FAIL. POOR DESIGN! *TR

AIRBAG LAMP ILLUMINATES WHENEVER TURNING INDICATING A FAULTY AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING. THIS ERROR IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS COMPROMISED CIRCUIT IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVER IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT PREVENTING THE AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING. *TR

MY JEEP'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS STARTED OPERATING WHILE THE CAR WAS OFF. THE HAZARD LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HORN, LOCKS, AND WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID ALL STARTED ACTIVATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP; HOWEVER, THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS WRONG AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE. THE ISSUE PRESENTED A FEW TIMES OVER THREE MONTHS BUT STOPPED. IN SEPTEMBER 2014 THE ISSUE PRESENTED AFTER A REACHED MY DESTINATION; HOWEVER, THIS TIME, AFTER I REMOVED THE KEY, THE JEEP CONTINUED TO RUN. I RETURNED THE JEEP TO THE FRED FREDERICK DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS THE TIPM BUT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. AFTER I RECEIVED THE INFORMATION, I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM BUT NOT JUST FOR THE WRANGLERS BUT FOR A HOST OF CHRYSLER VEHICLES. I HAVE ELEVATED A COMPLAINT TO CHRYSLER TO NO AVAIL. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AND THE EXPENSE TO CHRYSLER TO SERVICE SO MANY VEHICLES HAS TO BE ASTRONOMICAL. STILL, SOMEONE WILL GET HURT OR WORSE IF THE MATTER ISNT RESOLVED. *TR

WHEN TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I GOT OUT AND FOUND BRAKE FLUID LEAKING. CLOSER INSPECTION FOUND THAT THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKE FLUID HOSE HAS BEEN RUBBING AGAINST THE TIRE - THE HOSE WAS WORN FLAT AND THRU ON ONE SIDE. I HAVE NOT COMPLETED ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE TIRES - I HAVE THE SAME SIZE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE JEEP ORIGINALLY. THE OTHER RECALL FOR THE FENDER RUB HAD ALREADY BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

CLOCK SPRING FAIL AT 52000. NO AIRBAG AT AN OUT IF POCKET COST OF FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. CAN'T FIX. *TR

THE FIRST PROBLEMS TO START WERE THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OFF AND ON WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF. THE INSIDE DOME LIGHTS ALSO GO ON AND OFF WHEN THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING. 2ND CAME THE BATTERY. IT WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS DEAD AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT NOW. IF YOU WAIT A BIT OR JUMP IT, IT STARTS RIGHT UP. ALSO WHEN IN THIS STATE ALL OF THE OTHER BATTERY OPERATED COMPONENTS WORK FINE, LIKE LIGHTS RADIO, ETC. THEN CAME THE AIR BAG LIGHT AND ALARM. THIS WILL COME ON FOR ABOUT A MINUTE THAN GO OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN BACK ON. VERY ANNOYING. FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS IS THE CLOCK SPRING MODULE OR THE TIPM. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WIT THE DEALER THIS WEEKEND. 11/8/2014. *TR

POWER LOCKS QUIT WORKING, WHILE REPLACING THE FUSE, ALL ELECTRICAL CEASED, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT OPERATE. TOWED TO AUTO ELECTRIC REPAIR WITH THE DETERMINATION THAT THE TIPM WAS BAD, AND AT ANY GIVEN TIME THE LIGHTS, WIPERS, ETC COULD JUST QUIT WORKING. *TR

CLOCK SPRING FAULTY, GENERATING WARNING LIGHT, POSSIBLE FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRINGS THAT WAS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE AIR BAG SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

I WAS GOING OUT TO MY JEEP TO GET SOMETHING OUT AND PRESSED UNLOCK ON KEYPAD AND THEN HORN, WIPERS BOTH FRONT AND REAR WERE GOING AND WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID ALL STARTED TO WORK WITHOUT THE JEEP TURNED ON. SO I HAD TO DISCONNECT BATTERY TO STOP THIS. I'VE SEEN ONLINE MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES I'M HAVING WITH THIS JEEP. IT ALSO HAPPENED TWO WEEKS PRIOR WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED JEEP OFF BUT STILL WAS DOING THE SAME ISSUES HORN BLASTING, WIPERS RUNNING, FLUID SPRAYING. NOW STUCK WITH A HUGE REPAIR BILL THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY A RECALL! ! ! *TR

ON THE 2008+ JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON PERIODICALLY 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. THE DEALER SAY IS NOT IN WARRANTY BUT IN THE FILE COMPLAINT # PE11019 SAY 10 YEAR OR 150000 MILES. I WANT TO KNOW I CAN DO. *TR

WHY WOULD YOU INSTALL A NON PROTECTED/ENCLOSED CLOCK SPRING SWITCH IN A JEEP WHICH IS MADE FOR OFF ROAD, IS A CONVERTIBLE WHICH IS EXPOSED TO DUST AND WEATHER. SO I CAN BUY AND HAVE NEW PARTS INSTALLED AFTER EACH OUTING, AND ALSO HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT WITH OUT THE PROTECTION OF AN AIR BAG??? *TR

I CAN NOT FILL MY TANK ANYMORE, EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE GETS FULL AND TRIES TO AUTO SHUTOFF, GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT, THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I CAN NOT LONGER FILL MY TANK FOR FEAR OF THIS SPLASH BACK. IT IS A LOT OF GAS THAT SPLASHES OUT ALSO. I WAS TOLD BY A SERVICE TECH THAT MY BEST BET IS USE A HIGH PRESSURE HOSE TO CLEAN OFF THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK, THEN RUN IT OVER VERY BUMPY TERRAIN TO KNOCK OFF THE DIRT THAT MAY BE SITTING ON TOP OF THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. THIS DID NOT SEEM TO WORK FOR ME THOUGH. *TR

TIPM --- THE VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING ELECTRICAL SEIZURES IN WHICH THE HORN, LIGHTS, LOCKS, WIPERS, AND WASHER FLUID ALL BEGAN ACTIVATING AT ONCE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AFTER I LOST VISIBILITY BECAUSE OF THE WASHER FLUID COVERING THE WINDSHIELD. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF 10 MINUTES, I FINALLY PULLED THE BATTERY CABLE TO STOP THE PROBLEM. BUT AS SOON AS I RECONNECTED IT, THE PROBLEM WOULD START AGAIN. I EVENTUALLY PULLED THE HORN FUSE AND LIMPED BACK TO MY OFFICE AND THE NEXT DAY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BAD TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE AND CHARGED ME $863.87 TO REPLACE IT. *TR

SEARCH INTERNET FOR JK DEATH WOBBLE. CHRYSLER LLC HAS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH JK WRANGLER THAN NEED RECALL BEFORE SOME ONE DIES DUE TO LOSING CONTROL TO THE FRONT END OF THEIR VEHICLE. OUR 2008 JEEP WRANGLER HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH SUSPENSION AND FRONT AXLE STEERING ISSUES FOR ITS ENTIRE EXISTENCE INCLUDING A STABILIZER REPLACEMENT AT APPROX 20,000 MILES 6 YEARS AGO. MOST RECENTLY WE HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC DEATH WOBBLE THAT HAS RESULTED IN ATTEMPTS BY DEALER TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY AND SERVICE CONTRACT WITH NO SUCCESS. THE FRONT AXLE HOUSING, AND THE TRAC BAR, AND THE BALL JOINTS AND THE STEERING STABILIZER GEOMETRY ON THE JK WRANGLER IS ALL WRONG. SEE THIS A/M BOLT KIT HTTP://NORTHRIDGE4X4.COM/SHOP/NR4X4-JEEP-JK-HARDWARE-KIT SEE THIS VIDEO HTTPS://M.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=DIYDWQHC7QQ AND THIS VIDEO HTTPS://M.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=9UQWLMLHIF4 I HAVE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE VIN FOR THIS COMPLAINT AND SOME ONE NEEDS TO FORCE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE NEEDS NEW LOWER CONTROL ARMS, NEW TRACK BAR, NEW FRAME MOUNT FOR TRACK BAR, NEW FRONT AXLE HOUSING, NEW STEERING GEAR, NEW KNUCKLES, AND NEW TIE RODS. AND IT NEEDS THE A/M CORRECT BOLT KIT LISTED ABOVE USED TO INSTALL ALL OF THE ABOVE COMPONENTS. MY VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY AT TIMES NEARLY CAUSING ACCIDENTS. I CAN'T DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN BECAUSE IT IS TOO DANGEROUS. PLEASE ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY. THERE ARE 100,000 OR MORE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD WITH THIS SE PROBLEM. *TR

ON THE 2008+ JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES ON PERIODICALLY 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

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.

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

AS I WAS DRIVING MY JEEP THE AIRBAG DRIVER WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. I AM WORRIED THAT MY AIRBAG IS NOT WORKING AND MAY NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE CASE MAY DEPLOY ON IT OWN. I CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. OFFICE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE EXCEPT TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THERE IS A RECALL ON RHD JEEPS FOR 2008 BUT NOT THE LHD'S. *TR

WHILE ON MY NORMAL DAILY DRIVE HOME FROM WORK, THE AIRBAG WARNING DASH LAMP ILLUMINATED WITH CHIME. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY TURNING ON AND OFF AND CHIMING WITH THE TURNING OF MY STEERING WHEEL. WHICH I BELIEVE IS DIRECTLY RELATED WITH THE WELL KNOWN CLOCK SPRING ISSUE THAT HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR JEEP MODELS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. UPON READING THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, ITS NOT A MATTER OF IF, BUT WHEN WILL THIS PART FAIL... *TR

2ND BAD AIR BAG/ STEERING CLOCK SPRING FAILURE THAT CAUSES AIR BAG LIGHT TO COME ON AND DISABLE AIRBAGS ON VEHICLE. SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON THE RIGHT HAND DRIVE, WHICH USES THE SAME PART AS THE LEFT HAND DRIVE. MY FIRST ONE WENT OUT AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 MILES AND WAS WARRANTIED. THIS TIME AT 65,000 MILES, IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM, BUT IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT HAS DISABLED THE SAFETY DEVICES OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE HAD MANY TIMES WHERE I GET IN TO START MY JEEP AND IT JUST CLICKS AND DASH-LIGHTS COME ON...I HAVE FOUND THAT IF YOU PUSH ON THE GEAR SHIFT UPWARD TO PARK AND THEN TRY THE KEY IT STARTS, IT WORKS EVERY TIME. *TR

WHILE DRIVING I EXPERIENCED SHAKING IN MY FRONT END THAT CAUSE ME TO PULL OFF THE OFF. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I CAN SAFELY SAY IT KNOWN AS THE DEATH WOBBLE. THIS PROBLEM IS RIDICULOUS AND NO ONE CARES TO MAKE JEEP FIX THIS PROBLEM. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DYING FOR YOU AND JEEP TO WAKE UP AND HAVE THIS ADDRESSED. YOU SUCK AND SO DOES JEEP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE KEY WAS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS FINE, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THERE WERE NOT ANY WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE PROBLEM RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS A ELECTRICAL WIRING MALFUNCTION THAT WAS CONNECTED TO THE IGNITION. ANOTHER MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE COULD BE A IGNITION MALFUNCTION, HOWEVER BOTH MECHANICS WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE A SOLUTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 ....UPDATED 09-03-14 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD START IN NEUTRAL, BUT NOT PARK UPDATED 09/09/14

HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON TO GO TO CHURCH AT 10:30 SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3. ONCE AGAIN, THE HORN WOULDN'T STOP, WASHER FLUID WAS SHOOTING ALL OVER, LOCKS WERE GOING LIKE CRAZY, WIPERS MOVING, ETC. NO MATTER WHAT I DID, IT WOULDN'T STOP. THIS HAS BECOME A REGULARLY OCCURRING PROBLEM AND CONSIDERING THE HEADLIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF I WOULD THINK (AS AN EMT INSTRUCTOR AND A POLICE EMPLOYEE) THAT THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN AND WOULD BE DEALT WITH THROUGH A RECALL ASAP. NOT FORCING ME TO PAY "AROUND $600" FOR A PART ON NATIONWIDE BACKORDER. ON JULY 27 I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM AT 6:10AM, I AM SURE MY NEIGHBORS LOVED THAT. AND ON AUG 1, WHILE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE HORN HONKED AND WASHER FLUID SHOT OUT. MY SISTER SAID IT WAS LIKE MY JEEP SNEEZED DUE TO HOW QUICKLY/SUDDENLY IT HAPPENED. *TR

MY JEEP HAS THE "JEEP DEATH WOBBLE", WHICH IS WIDELY DISCUSSED ON THE INTERNET. BY GOOGLING THAT TERM, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S A VERY VIOLENT SHAKING OF THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE CAR TO ULTIMATELY SHAKE OUT OF CONTROL IF THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE SLOWED DOWN VERY QUICKLY. UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S CAUSE IS UNCLEAR, THOUGH THERE IS A LIST OF A DOZEN OR SO "FIXES" THAT SOMETIMES FIX THE PROBLEM FOR 20,000 MILES OR SO AT A TIME. I HAD THE DEATH WOBBLE AT ABOUT 15K MILES, 35K MILES AND NOW AGAIN AT 65K MILES. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM AND WAS SCARED WHEN HE DROVE MY CAR TO SEE THE PROBLEM FOR HIMSELF. IT'S UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY 2-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK. MY CAR NEEDS THIS REPAIRED AGAIN RIGHT NOW, AND I ASSUME WILL NEED IT EVERY 20K MILES OR SO. ON THE LAST OCCASION THIS HAPPENED (YESTERDAY), I HIT A SMALL GAP IN THE PAVEMENT (FOR EXAMPLE, THE NORMAL SEAM WHERE TWO PIECES OF CONCRETE COME TOGETHER) AT ABOUT 45MPH. THE FRONT END STARTED VIBRATING AND THEN THE VIBRATION INCREASES (ALMOST LIKE THE CAR IS RESONATING), UNTIL YOU CAN'T HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE CAR IS ABOUT TO VIBRATE OFF THE ROAD UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS IS HOW THE ISSUE ALWAYS OCCURS AND IT OCCURS BETWEEN 45-70MPH. IT'S BEGINS WITH A SMALL BUMP OR IMPERFECTION ON THE PAVEMENT. IT'S EASILY REPRODUCED. *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS MY JEEP FAILS TO START. WHEN I INSERT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURN TO START, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIGHTS UP WITH A SINGLE CLICK SOUND COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AFTER CONTINUOUSLY TRYING OVER AND OVER TO START THE JEEP IT WOULD FINALLY START. SOME DAYS IT WOULD TAKE HOURS TO START UP. THE PROBLEM OCCURS IN ANY WEATHER, DAY OR NIGHT. SOME DAYS THE JEEP STARTS UP FINE ON THE FIRST TRY, OTHER TIMES IT IS A NIGHTMARE AND TAKES ALL DAY TO START UP. I HAVE TAKEN THE JEEP TO THE JEEP DEALERSHIP BEFORE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, BUT IT WAS USELESS AND A WASTE OF MONEY FOR ME SINCE THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING! AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I HAVE NOTICED MANY PEOPLE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. DUE TO EXPIRED WARRANTY, I CAN'T AFFORD TO CONTINUE TO PAY FOR PARTS THAT COULD PROBABLY FIX THE PROBLEM. AN INDIVIDUAL ON-LINE POSTED A CHRYSLER STAR CASE # 6505315 TWO YEARS AGO THAT COULD POSSIBLY HELP, BUT IN THE MEAN TIME THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION, CHECK OUT JEEPFORUM.COM UNDER 2008 JK STARTING PROBLEMS. AS FOR NOW, MY JEEP IS PARKED AT WORK ONCE AGAIN UNTIL IT DECIDES IT WANTS TO START UP AGAIN. *TR

AIRBAG LIGHT ON, AIRBAG HAS NEVER DEPLOYED. UNDERSTAND THIS IS IN ONGOING PROBLEM RESULTING IN RECALL ON SOME JEEP MODELS. WAS TOLD THAT AIRBAG IS FUNCTIONAL BUT SWITCH GOES OFF SAYING IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I HAD A LIFETIME WARRANTY PACKAGE ON MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. I ALSO KEEP GREAT RECORDS OF MY MAINTAINED AND DID MOST OF IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS DRIVING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION / ENGINE AREA STARTED SMOKING. WHEN I PULLED OVER GROUP LLC AND LAMES WERE DRIPPING FROM THE TRANSMISSION / ENGINE AREA. SMOKE QUICKLY FILLED THE VEHICLE AND WITH-IN 2 MINUTES THE JEEP WRANGLER WAS UP IN FLAMES. I CONTACT CHRYSLER GROUP LLC AND THEY SENT AN INSPECTOR OUT. THEY WERE VERY HARD TO WORK WITH AND MAILED ME LETTER SAYING, "THE INSPECTOR FOUND NO INDICATION OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THE INCIDENT ON 1 JUL 14. NO HELP AT ALL! I WANT TO LOOK INTO THIS MORE. IT SEEMS THE TRANSMISSION / ENGINE DEFECT COST ME A ONE JEEP WRANGLER AND THEY ACCEPTED NO RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 13V176000 (AIR BAGS), HOWEVER THE RECALL PERTAINED TO RIGHT-HAND DRIVE VEHICLES ONLY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD THE "DEATH WOBBLE" MULTIPLE TIMES. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE, ONCE IN OCTOBER OF 2013 AND ONCE IN MARCH OF 2014. IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I WILL NEED TO GET IT FIXED FOR THE THIRD TIME. IT MAKES THE JEEP UNCONTROLLABLE. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN IT HAPPENED CONTINUOUSLY IN MARCH OF 2014 I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 60 MILES FROM MY HOME. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO TWO ACCIDENTS ON MAJOR ROADWAYS. THERE IS LESS THAN 23K MILES ON MY JEEP. *JS

WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL ON AN IMPROVED MULTI-LANE HIGHWAY, AND BRAKING AS NEEDED, THE FRONT END OF THE JEEP BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THIS IS THE THIRD EPISODE OF THIS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BEHAVIOR. THE FIRST TWO EPISODES INVOLVED ACCELERATING BETWEEN 50 AND 55 ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY ON-RAMP. ALL INSTANCES REQUIRED IMMEDIATE DECELERATION AND/OR MODEST BRAKING AND/OR NEEDING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP TO ARREST THE VIOLENT SHAKING AND REGAIN NORMAL STEERING CONTROL. RESEARCH YIELDS INFORMATION THAT THIS IS A KNOWN OCCURRENCE WITH JEEP WRANGLERS AND MAY BE THE RESULT OF SUBSTANDARD ENGINEERING AND DESIGN. SEE "JEEP WRANGLER -DEATH WOBBLE". *TR

ON THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LEFT HAND DRIVE) 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 (LEFT HAND DRIVE) OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, AND HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL.

HELLO, I'M REQUESTING THAT A FACTORY RECALL BE PLACED ON MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE ISSUE IS THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE FALLS OFF FROM THE TRANSMISSION LEVER BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE CABLE THERE IS A CHEAP 1 CENT PLASTIC INSERT THAT DRIES UP AND DISINTEGRATES, THUS THE SHIFTER CABLE TO FALL-OFF. THANKS BE TO GOD, THAT NOTHING MAJOR HAPPENED TO US, BUT POTENTIALLY IT COULD BE FATAL IN OTHER CASES. IMAGINE THIS, WHEN THIS CABLE FALLS-OFF THE VEHICLE IS STUCK IN THE ?REVERSE GEAR?, THEN YOU GIVE IT GAS AND INSTEAD OF GOING FORWARD, THE JEEP GOES BACKWARDS UNEXPECTEDLY, POTENTIALLY OVER A PERSON, OR DOWN CLIFF, DOWN A MOUNTAIN, INTO A RIVER, LAKE OR EVEN CAUSING A MAJOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. IN MY CASE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE JEEP, NOT KNOWING THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE HAD FALLEN-OFF AND THAT THE JEEP WAS NOW STUCK IN "DRIVE GEAR". WHEN SHE STOPPED AND THE SHIFTED TO ?PARK? THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO DRIVE FORWARD UNDER THE ENGINE IDLE POWER. ALSO WHEN THE JEEP WAS TURNED ?OFF? TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE, SOON AS SHE RELEASE THE JEEP?S BRAKE IT STARTED TO ROLL ON ITS OWN. THE ?EMERGENCY BRAKE? HAD TO BE APPLIED IN ORDER TO STOP THE JEEP FROM ROLLING FURTHER. IN CLOSING THIS CABLE IS MADE WITH VERY CHEAP PARTS AND ALSO IT IS NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY, IT LACKS WHAT ENGINEERS IN MY FIELD WE CALL ?A FAIL SAFE DESIGN CRITERIA?. NOTICE INVESTING A 5 CENTS METAL CLIP, PLACED OVER THE END OF THE CABLE IT WOULD PREVENT IT FROM EVER FALLING OUT, EVEN IF THE PLASTIC DISINTEGRATES. THIS EXISTING CABLE DESIG

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.

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. THERE WAS AN EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY FOR THE 2007 MODEL USING THE SAME PART. *TR

VEHICLE AIR GOES ON AND OFF WITH CHIME WHEN DRIVING SINCE ABOUT FEB OF THIS YEAR IT IS ON ALL THE TIME WHICH MEANS THE AIR BAGS WON'T WORK MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MYSELF, SPOUSE, AND CHILDREN WERE GOING TO DINNER AND I'M ON CRUISE AT 50 AND A VIOLENT VIBRATION BEGINS TO OCCUR. I HAVE RESEARCHED IT AND IT IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND IT IS BAD. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED BY YOU ON THIS. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DYING FOR YOU TO ISSUE ONE. MINE CAUSED ME TO ALMOST WRECK HEAD ON AND THERE WOULD PROBABLY BE KIDS WITHOUT PARENTS TODAY IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A WRECK HEAD ON. PLEASE CONSIDER ISSUING A RECALL ON THIS AND MAKE THE MANUFACTURER'S FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT'S NOT LIKE WE CAN GO OUT AND TRADE IT IN OR PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. YES WE HAVE JOBS, BUT WE HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF BEING PARENTS AND PAYING BILLS TO, AND ARE BECOMING PARENTS AGAIN EARLY NEXT YEAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE TO FIXED BY THE COMPANY. *TR

I'M NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM THE FIRST COUPLE OF TIMES BUT WHEN IT STARTED TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY I STARTED TO NOTICE MY SPEED AND THE ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT WAS A COMBINATION OF DRIVING OVER 50 MILES/ HOUR AND ROLLING OVER A POTHOLE, BUMP OR SIMPLY UNEVEN PAVEMENT THAT WOULD CAUSE THE FRONT END OF THE JEEP TO WOBBLE AND SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AND SHAKES WHICH MAKES IT VERY HARD TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND IT BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEED WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE VIOLENT SHAKING IS TO QUICKLY SLOW THE CAR DOWN, WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE BUSY INTERSTATE WHICH I TRAVEL EVERYDAY TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. RECENTLY I NARROWLY AVOIDED GETTING REAR-ENDED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER WHICH WAS BARRELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY BEHIND ME WHEN THE SHAKING OCCURRED. I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO STOP THE VIBRATIONS. LUCKILY THE TRUCK DRIVER CHANGED LANES JUST IN TIME. THIS CONDITION IS UNPREDICTABLE AND PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY THREAT BECAUSE IT GENERALLY HAPPENS AT HIGH SPEEDS. *TR

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WITH A CHIME. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF FOR A MINUTE OR TWO THEN COME BACK ON WITH A CHIME. A FEW TIMES THE HORN DIDN'T WORK. THE CHIME AND LIGHT GO ON AND OFF THE HOLE TIME I'M DRIVING. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM RIGHT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES HAVE A RECALL BUT NOT LEFT HAND. I LOOKED ON-LINE AND MOST POSTS SAY IT'S A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL. CHRYSLER IS NOT ISSUING A RECALL AT THIS TIME. THIS FAULTY SPRING CAN CAUSE A FAILURE OF THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING OR DEPLOY PREMATURELY. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THEY FIX THE PROBLEM. *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

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (IPM). IT IS CAUSING MY SAFETY BAG LGHT TO COME ON (NOT KNOWING IF IT WOULD DEPLOY) BUT THAT IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE MODULE. IT'S ALSO CAUSING MY FRONT LIGHTS TO COME ON WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND I AM GETTING ELECTRICAL SHOCKS EVERY TIME I TOUCH MY DOOR. THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IS IT SOMETIMES TURNS OFF OR I CAN'T TURN IT ON BECAUSE MY ELECTRONICS GOES COMPLETELY OFF. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE WHEN IT HAPPENS I GO INTO THE BOX REMOVE AND REPLACE THE CABLE OR PLUGS AND IT STARTS WORKING. I WOULD HATE THIS TO HAPPEN WHEN I'M DRIVING, WHICH WOULD CAUSE MY POWER STEERING AND SHIFTING TO LOCKUP LEAVING ME WITH NO OPTIONS AND MAYBE WITH NO SAFETY BAG. I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS TURNED OFF ON ME WHEN I WAS LEAVE MY PARKING SPACE AT WORK. I COULD NOT TURN OR SHIFT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE ALL THE ELECTRONIC TURNED OFF. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACE MY BATTERY TERMINAL CABLE (BATTERY TO THE IPM) DUE TO CORROSION. *TR

JEEP JK WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH PASSENGER SIDE MOUNTED FUEL TANK AND DRIVERS SIDE MOUNTED FUEL FILLER NECK HAS APPROX 4 FT HOSE BETWEEN FILLER NECK AND TANK. TANK VENT RETURN HOSE TO FILLER NECK AND FILLER HOSE ARE INADEQUATE ENGINEERED CAUSING FUEL TO BACK SPLASH EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU FILL THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL AND ALLOW THE AUTO SHUTOFF ON THE PUMP HANDLE TO STOP THE FUEL FLOW. THIS PROBLEM EXIST WHEN FILLING VEHICLE WHEN IT IS TURNED OFF AND WHEN IT IS RUNNING. IT IS WORSE WHEN RUNNING. IN 6 YEARS AND 90,000 MILES WE HAVE SPILLED HUNDREDS OF GALLONS OF FUEL AT GAS STATIONS AND WE HAVE EVEN HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH A 2010 RENTAL JEEP OF THE SAME MODEL. A RECALL NEEDS PUT IN PLACE BEFORE A FIRE OCCURS AT A GAS STATION. *TR

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS: B1B02 - DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT OPEN, AND B1B06 - DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB 2 CIRCUIT OPEN. THESE ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIRBAG CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY FOR WHICH JEEP ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN IN DECEMBER 2011 FOR 2007 MODELS ONLY. THERE WAS ALSO A RECALL ON 2008 JEEP WRANGLER JKS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT IT ONLY APPLIED TO RIGHT HAND DRIVE MODELS. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPONENT WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED IN ALL MODELS. *JS

AFTER I SHIFTED INTO 5TH GEAR GOING APPX. 50 MPH FRONT RT TIRE SHIMMIED THEN LT FRONT TIRE AT EQUAL 1 TO 2 SECOND INTERVALS UNTIL THE SHIMMY GOT SO BAD I COULD NOT CONTROL STEERING AND HAD TO DECELERATE TO PULL OF TO SIDE OF ROAD. I HAD TO LIFT MYSELF OFF SEAT AND LEAN INTO STEERING WHEEL WITH MY ALL MY WEIGHT TO STEER JEEP SAFELY TO SIDE OF ROAD. ABOUT 1 WEEK BEFORE MY INCIDENT MY DAUGHTER, 22 YRS OF AGE, HAD SAME PROBLEM DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR. SAME SPEED WHILE ACCELERATING. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED NEW. I HAVE NOT MODIFIED MY CAR IN ANY WAY, NOR HAVE EVER TAKEN IT "FOUR-WHEELING." IN JUNE 2011 I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST "DEATH WOBBLE," AN EXTREMELY VIOLENT, SHAKING OF THE FRONT WHEELS. SINCE THEN, IT HAS SINCE HAPPENED FIVE TIMES, RESULTING IN REPAIRS (THAT STILL HAVEN'T SOLVED THE PROBLEM) TOTALING $1644.24 (NOT INCLUDING TAX). I MOST RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THE DEATH WOBBLE ABOUT FOUR DAYS AGO ON THE HIGHWAY (4/9/2014). I HAD IT IN TO THE SHOP TO BE "FIXED" IN EARLY MARCH WITH "REPAIRS" COSTING OVER $950. I'M HESITANT TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP MAKING REPAIRS FOR AN UNKNOWN PROBLEM. I AM NOT BLAMING THE REPAIR SHOP THAT THE WOBBLING HASN'T BEEN FIXED; I AM BLAMING CHRYSLER/JEEP BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEEM TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS BEING A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM EXTENSIVELY AND I AM DEFINITELY NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING WHEN I SAY THAT WHEN THE "DEATH WOBBLE" HAPPENS, I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING TO DIE. THE ONLY TIME IT HAPPENS IS WHEN I'M GOING 45 MPH OR MORE, SO IT HAS HAPPENED PRIMARILY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ONLY WAY TO RE-GAIN CONTROL IS TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY AND PULL OVER (WHICH COULD RESULT IN A MAJOR PILE-UP ON THE HIGHWAY). ALL I WANT IS TO HAVE CHRYSLER/JEEP RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND PROVIDE A REMEDY/RECALL AND MONETARY COMPENSATION FOR THIS PROBLEM. *JS

UNABLE TO FILL GAS TANK WITHOUT GAS SPITTING OUT UPON FILLUP. GAS GETS ALL OVER MYSELF/WIFE AND THE JEEP. THEN HAVE TO WIPE THE EXCESS GAS OFF VEHICLE TO PROTECT PAINT AND STUFF AND THEN WASH HANDS NUMEROUS TIMES AND CHANGE OF CLOTHING TO GET GAS SMELL OFF OF YOU. NOW JEEP REFUSES TO FILL COMPLETELY BEFORE IT STARTS TO SPIT BACK AT YOU. MAYBE GETS FILLED 3/4 TANK NOW THEN WONT FILL NO MORE AND SPITS IT BACK AT US! *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. THE SAME DEFECT IS PRESENT IN THE 2007 JEEP WRANGLER AND A RECALL WAS IMPLEMENT WHICH IS WHY I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT ONE FOR THE 2008. *TR

THE VEHICLE SINCE THE DAY I OWNED IT RANDOMLY POPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING LEFT ONTO A ROAD WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. JEEP HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS VERY PROBLEM BUT DEALERS ARE REFUSING TO MAKE THE REPAIR. JEEP SHOULD HAVE A RECALL AS THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS HAZARD. *TR

WE OWN A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA, NOTICED A CRACK AT TOP OF WINDSHIELD WHEN GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING SUBZERO TEMPS, ALSO THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING THAT MAY HAVE HIT THE WINDSHIELD (EX. ROCK, ETC). AFTER CHECKING IT, MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT IT LOOKED LIKE A STRESS CRACK, BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION AND WAY THE CRACK LOOKED, IT WAS ABOUT 3" LONG AND VERTICAL, AND OF COURSE ITS NOW SPREADING. AFTER CHECKING ONLINE, THERE ARE A LOT OF REVIEWS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON JEEPS. ONE REVIEW SUGGESTED FILING A COMPLAINT ON THIS SITE, SO THAT'S WHAT IM DOING AND GOING TO CALL CHRYSLER IN THE MORNING. NOT EXPECTING THEM TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BUT IF THERE ARE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS, MAYBE IT WILL SET OFF A RECALL. *TR

HIT SMALL BUMP ON EXPRESSWAY CAUSING 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY LIKE THE WHEELS WERE LOOSE. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY GET OFF THE EXPRESSWAY TO CHECK WHEELS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BY THE INITIAL REACTION IS TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD HAVE CAUSED A CHAIN REACTION (CRASH). AFTER INSPECTING VEHICLE SHAKING HAD STOPPED. *TR
