2008 Jeep Wrangler complaints

JEEP HAS MIND OF ITS OWN. NO START, NO HEADLIGHTS, WIPERS WORK ON THEIR OWN AND SPRAY ALL FLUID. JEEP SHUTS OFF DRIVING, THEN CANT SHUT ENGINE OFF WITH KEY.

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN YOU SLOW TO TURN A SLIGHT CURVE AND PRESS BRAKES THE JEEP GOES INTO A UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKE IN THE ENTIRE FRONT END. YOU CAN NOT STOP IT BY APPLYING BRAKES BECAUSE IT MAKES IT WORSE. YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF THE SHAKE AND IT EVEN SHAKES THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHOLE FRONT END OF THE JEEP. EVENTUALLY IT PULLS OUT OF IT AFTER SEVERAL FEET BUT YOU FEEL THE WHOLE FRONT END IS GONG TO COME OFF THE SHAKE IS THAT VIOLENT. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED MY VEHICLE TRYING TO HOLD IT ON THE ROAD WHILE TURNING AND HAD OTHER CARS ALMOST PLOW ME FROM THE BACK. IT IS VERY SCAREY AND YOU HAVE NO WARNING WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, FUEL SPILLS OUT OF FILLER HOLE AFTER AUTO-STOP FILLER NOZZLE SHUTS OFF.!!

WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS REMAIN ON ALONG WITH A RED LIGHT THAT LOOKS LIKE LIGHTING BOLT. REPLACED BATTERY. NEW ENGINE. NEW RADIATOR. NEW PIN. EVERYTHING THAT WAS FOUND ON DIAGNOSTIC CHECK REPLACED. STILL PAYING FOR CAR. NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT. HAS A DANGEROUS DEATH WOBBLE. THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE MADE. DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. CANNOT GET PLATES FOR JEEP THAT EILL NEVER PASS INSPECTION. WHAT CAN I DO .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAITED AWHILE BEFORE DRIVING AGAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY BACK HOME. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO POMOCO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM OF NEWPORT NEWS (LOCATED AT 12629 JEFFERSON AVE, NEWPORT NEWS, VA 23602, (757) 369-3565), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,460.

TAKATA RECALL, I KEEP RECEIVING CALLS REGARDING MY RECALL. MY JEEP WAS IMPORTED FROM PUERTO RICO AND THEY HAVE THE AIRBAG AND THE DEALERSHIP HERE DOES NOT HAVE ANY AIRBAGS AND COULD NOT HELP ME. I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER AN YEAR FOR THE AIRBAG. LAST WEEK I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN LAKE ORION, MI AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A STATUS ON WHEN THEY WILL BE RECEIVING THESE AIRBAGS. MY CONCERN IS I HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND ITS MY ONLY VEHICLE. PLEASE ADVISE ON THIS RECALL.

THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 190,000.

THE DEATH WOBBLE!!!! WHEN I HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE . I FEEL MY JEEP IS LITERALLY COMING APART. MY JEEP IS 2008 AND THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SKNCE WE BOUGHT IT ANOUT 5 YEARS AGAO. I ONLY DRIVE WHEN ITS EMERGENCY. I WILL NOT TAKE HIGHWAYS. ITS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING. WHY IS THERE NO RECALLS FOR DEATH WOBBLE ON THE JEEP 2008. THIS IS NOT JUST A PROBLEM ON NEWER MODLES. I WANT IT FIXED FOR FREE. I CANT EVEN SELL IT. BECAUSE PEOPLE WITH JEEPS KNOW ABOUT IT!!!

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) MASS FAILURE CAUSING ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS TO GO HAYWIRE AND CAR TO BE UNDRIVABLE. THIS APPARENTLY IS AN INCREASINGLY BAD PROBLEM ON JEEP WRANGLERS.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 09E044000 (TRAILER HITCHES, EQUIPMENT), 16V290000 (AIR BAGS), AND 16V352000 (AIR BAGS).

WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ON A CITY STREET CAR SUDDENLY DIES, NO POWER STEERING, LIGHTS FLASHING, HORN BLARING, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND FLUID ARE ACTIVATED AND DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK. MECHANIC INFORMS ME IT IS TIPM ISSUE WITH 2007-2011 JEEPS/CHRYSLERS/DODGES. I INVESTIGATED ONLINE AND JEEP FORUMS ETC. SUPPORT THIS AND YET JEEP REFUSES TO ACCEPT ACCOUNTABILITY- AS SOMEONE WHO HAS NEARLY WRECKED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, I IMPLORE YOU ADDRESS THIS OR SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE, BECAUSE JEEP CONTINUES TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM!!! THIS ALSO HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED STATIONARY AND ISN'T EVEN ON- I HAVE WOKEN IN A PANIC SEVERAL TIMES BY WHAT I THINK IS MY CAR ALARM GOING OFF, TO FIND THE HORN BLARING, BLOWER MOTOR, FLASHERS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, AND THE WIPERS GOING ON AND OFF. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LIGHTS SUDDENLY GO OUT. ONCE AGAIN I URGE YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM, BECAUSE THIS WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, OR WORSE IF THESE ISSUES ARE NOT RESOLVED! *THESE INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, BUT THE MOST RECENT WAS TODAY, SO THAT IS THE DATE USED TO ANSWER "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN"

HOOD LATCH SNAPPED ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING THE HOOD TO FLY UP AND SMACK THE WINDSHIELD

THE HOOD LATCHES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. IF YOU TRAVELED ANYTHING OVER 50MPH ON THE FREEWAY THE HOOD WOULD VIOLENTLY FLUTTER AND YOU COULD SEE IT RAISING UP ALMOST TO 3/4 OF AN INCH. THIS MADE ME SCARED TO DRIVE IT ON THE FREEWAY.

PERSISTENT FUEL OVERFLOW ISSUE SINCE 4/25/09. EVERY TIME I FUEL THE VEHICLE, FUEL COMES OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND SPILLS ON THE VEHICLE AND PAVEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS)AND 16V290000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH POINT DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 5210 S IH 35 FRONTAGE RD, AUSTIN, TX 78745) AND REPAIRED. AFTER THE CONTACT LEFT THE DEALER AND WAS DRIVING HOME AT 65 MPH, A BURNING ODOR WAS DETECTED COMING FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,030.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION POPS OUT OF GEAR, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE SYNCHRONIZER WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I PAID TO HAVE IT REPLACED THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME CHRYSLER PAID TO REPLACE IT: THAT WAS 2 1/2 YEARS AGO (THAT IS HOW LONG IT LASTED FOR) I RECENTLY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHO REPLACED IT IN 11/2016 AND THEY SAID I DON'T HAVE A WARRANTY AND THEY ONLY GUARANTEE THEIR WORK FOR 2 YEARS. I FOUND A RECALL SERVICE BULLETIN ON LINE FOR THE SYNCHRONIZER THAT WAS SENT TO ALL DEALERSHIPS APRIL 20, 2010

GAS TANK COVER IS RUSTED SO BAD THE TANK COULD FALL OUT. VERY UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK THE GAS OVERFLOWS AND SPILLS ON THE CAR.

BALL JOINT ON THE TIE ROD FELL OFF OF THE PITMAN ARM OF THE STEERING BOX BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AT A SHOPPING CENTER, LEAVING NO STEERING CONTROL. LOW SPEED AT TIME OF INCIDENT (UNDER 5KM/H) LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS BACKING OUT OF SPOT TO THE RIGHT AND A CLUNK WAS HEARD AND FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN STRAIGHTENING THE WHEELS. JEEP WRANGLER 4DOOR 4X4 SAHARA UNLIMITED

AFTER FUELING THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X THE FUEL BACKFLOWS ALOT. THIS SEEMS DANGEROUS, AS IN WHAT IF A FIRE SPARKS UP AT THE GAS STATION PUMP.

AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AFTER THE VEHICLE IS INITIALLY STARTED. WILL GO ON AND OFF AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. SOMETIMES WILL STAY OFF FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN COME ON. OTHER TIMES IT WILL STAY OFF FOR S SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN COME BACK ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY VIBRATED UNTIL IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT FRED MARTIN SUPERSTORE (3195 BARBER RD, BARBERTON, OH 44203, (330) 753-4444) TO HAVE THE BALL JOINTS, TIE RODS, STEERING DAMPER, AND UNIVERSAL JOINTS REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

GAS AND AIR SPIT/SPILL BACK OUT OF FUEL FILLER NECK TUBE WHEN REFUELING AT GAS STATION PUMP. GAS RUNS DOWN FENDER/FENDER FLARE. PROBLEM BEGAN AROUND 55-60,000 MILES. JEEP CONTINUES TO GIVE OFF STRONG GAS VAPOR ODOR WHEN PARKED IN GARAGE EVEN WEEKS AFTER REFUELING.

VEHICLE WILL NOT START RIGHT AWAY AFTER IT HAS RAINED OR WHEN IT IS COLD. IT IS NOT CERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WILL START AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION SWITCH RECALL FOR SOME JEEPS, WHICH WAS RECALLED FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF RESULTING IN A VEHICLE FIRE. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA YET EVEN THOUGH MANY OWNERS HAVE MADE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.

FRONT AXLE (DIFFERENTIAL) OIL SEALS ARE LEAKING LUBE OIL QUICKLY. THERE ARE LEAK REPORTED ISSUES WITH THESE DANA 30; DANA 35; AND MY OWN RUBICON'S DANA 44 AXLE. THE AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING LUBE OIL FROM THE AXLE ENDS. AGAIN, THIS IS HAPPENING TO MY '08 JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON AND ALSO TO MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLER MODELS FROM 07-17 YEARS AS WELL AS REPORTED AND CONFIRMED BY OTHER OWNERS OF JEEP JK AND JKU MODELS 2017, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 09, 08, 07 MODELS. THERE SHOULD BE A GOVERMENT RECALL SINCE MANY OF THESE JEEPS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME AXLE LEAK ISSUES AS REPORTED. UNFORTUNATEDLY, FCA DOES NOT COVER THIS SIMPLE POWER TRAIN FIX SINCE MY VEHICLE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY.

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK AT THE GAS STATION IF GAS PUMP IS ON HIGH FUEL BACKSPLASHES ON THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONGST MANY JEEP WRANGLER OWNERS. DEALERSHIP DENIES ANY PROBLEM. YOU ASK BELOW WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN WELL I WILL LIST ONE DATE BUT IT HAPPENS 50% OF THE TIME WHEN FILLING THE JEEP UP. I BOUGHT THE JEEP IN 2011 WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN DOING IT EVER SINCE.

AT 54,500 HIGHWAY MILES, TWO ROD BEARINGS FAILED IN THE ENGINE RESULTING IN TOTAL ENGINE LOSS. AFTER ENGINE REPLACEMENT THE THROW OUT BEARING FAILED RESULTING IN FAILURE OF THE CLUTCH. ENGINE FAILED WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON A FREEWAY BUT WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP. CLUTCH FAILED WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS RESULTING IN TOWING.

NEUWIRTH MOTORS IN WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE IGNITION AND THE STARTER, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

WHILE DRIVING I HIT A BUMP AND THE FRONT WHEELS BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND I CANNOT CONTROL OR STOP IT. I HAVE TO STOP THE VEHICLE TO MAKE IT QUIT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND NO PLACE TO PULL OVER. SEMI TRUCKS BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME. THIS IS A VIOLENT AND UNCONTROLLABLE SHAKING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND HITS A BUMP LIKE A SEAM IN THE PAVEMENT OR EDGE OF OVERPASS.

VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AT 65 MPH, ( DEATH WOBBLE), SCARED THE HELL OUT OF MY WIFE!! REPLACED STEERING DAMPER AND LINK ARM AT REPAIR SHOP- $743.00. COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. IT WAS SO BAD I HAD IT TOWED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX THIS OR SOMEONE WILL DIE!!!

FUELING UP THE JEEP WITH THE AUTO SHUT OFF AT FILLING STATIONS NOW CAUSES ABOUT 2 CUPS OF GASOLINE PUKING OUT THE FILLER AND ONTO MYSELF , VEHICLE , AND GROUND. THIS NOW HAPPENS EVERY FILL UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY AND ERRONEOUSLY TURNED TO THE LEFT.

JAN 24 2018. I AM DRIVING MY JEEP JK 2008. 103,000 MILES. STOCK EVERYTHING. WAS DRIVING IT ALL DAY IN THE EVERGLADES. ALL OF A SUDDEN AS WE WERE EXITING THE PARK MY BRAKES STOPPED WORKING AND LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. WE WERE GOING NO FASTER THAN 35 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM AROUND THE CAR. WE OPE THE HOOD THERE IS A FIRE IN THE ENGINE AREA BY ALL OF THE WIRING. WE ATTEMPTED TO PUT IT OUT BUT IT QUICKLY ENGULFED THE ENTIRE TRUCK AND I HAD TO STAND BACK AND WATCH MY ENTIRE JEEP BURN TO THE GROUND!!!!! THERE WAS NOTHING TO TELL ME THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN OR TO WARN ME! JEEP NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. WE HAVE BURNS ON OUR ARMS. THE CAR BURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND. ALL OF MY BELONGINGS ARE GONE FROM THE FIRE

GAS OVERFLOWS FROM GAS FILLER TUBE AFTER PUMP HAS STOPED

MY AC/HEATER BLOWER MOTOR WORK INTERMITTENTLY. THE HORN SOUNDS WITHOUT BEING ENGAGED. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL ENGAGE BY THEMSELVES. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN BOTH STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING. I BELIVE THESE ISSUES ARE CAUSED BY THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. WHEN TALKING WITH OTHERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THERE APPEARS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THESE MALFUNCTIONS COULD PUT ME IN DANGER. FOR EXAMPLE, IF I CAN'T DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD THERE IS A VISABILITY PROBLEM. ALSO, ASSUMING IT IS THE TIPM THERE ARE MANY OTHER THINGS THAT WILL EVENTUALLY HAPPEN.

ENGINE ON THE CAR IS BURNING THE OIL SO FAST.(ENGINE GET SO DRY) ABOUT EVERY 2000 MILES ONLY ABOUT HALF OF A QUART IS LEFT . SO, I HAVE TO REFILL THE OIL TANK

WE WERE DRIVING IN THE NM MOUNTAINS AT NIGHT. THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS WENT OUT. THE WIPERS STARTED RUNNING. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD. WE WERE LUCKY WE DIDN'T HAVE A WRECK. EVENTUALLY WE SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED IT. THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON.

ALL 4 BRAKE LINES CORRODED. ONE BLEW AND THE OTHER 3 HAD BULGES. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. I HAD PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO PUT VEHICLE IN GEAR. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND SMOKE CAME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE LINES WERE CORRODED DIRECTLY BEHIND WHERE A PREVIOUS RECALL K13 HAD BEEN DONE TO FIX THE FENDER LINER ISSUE ABOUT THE LINER RUBBING A HOLE IN THE BRAKE LINE. ALL 4 LINES CORRODED IN THE SAME SPOT. THE FENDER LINER HELD MOISTURE AND ALLOWED THE LINES TO CORRODE.

EVERY TIME YOU FUEL THE VEHICLE TO GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FUEL INLET ONTO THE SIDE AND REAR FENDER OF THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING MY STOCK 08 JKU RUBICON WHEN I WENT TO STOP BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I ROLLED INTO AN INTERSECTION. I AM SO LUCKY I DID NOT DIE OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE. I GOT IT HOME TO FIND THAT MY TIRES HAD WORN A HOLE IN MY BRAKE LINES ON DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT. I CONTACT DEALERSHIP WHO BASICALLY TELL ME IT ISN'T COVERED AND THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANY ISSUE'S WITH TIRE RUB ON BRAKE LINES. I CONTACTED FCA THEY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHO NOW BASICLY TOLD ME TO BRING IN ASAP. TODAY I AM CONTACT BY DEALERSHIP THAT IS COVERED BUT AFTER IT FAILS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING FUELED, FUEL EXITED THE FILLER TUBE AND SPILLED ONTO THE CONTACT AND VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (STAFFORD CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE OF SPRINGFIELD, 7611 LOISDALE RD, SPRINGFIELD, VA 22150) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE MAY BE DUE TO THE FUEL TANK AND/OR FILLER TUBE. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $900. THE CONTACT DECLINED TO PAY AND BELIEVED IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.
