What owners report
SWAY BAR LIGHT WAS FLASHING, BROUGHT TO DEALER NEEDED NEW ELECTRONIC SWAY BAR DUE TO CORROSION. THIS IS ENCLOSED AND SHOULD HAVE NO CORROSION I WAS CONCERNED THAT MY JEEP MAY GO INTO A DEATH WOBBLE IF I DROVE OVER 18 MILES PER HOUR. MY JEEP HAS ONLY 40,000 MILES.I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFECT DUE TO COMPLAINTS I VIEWED ONLINE I NOT THE ONLY ONE SO ACTUATOR, STABILIZER BAR, WIRING CHASSIS, SCREW & RET PUSH CODE U1159 WAS SHOWING. POWER WIRE WAS CORRODED AND WEAK CLEANED & BENT PIN NEW WIRING HARNESS WAS NEEDED. AFTER 2260.00 I GOT MY JEEP BACK2
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 FAI
HORN GOES ON & STAYS ON, WIPERS GO CONTINUOUSLY, WIPER FLUID FLOWS CONSTANTLY, BACK UP LIGHTS GO ON, HEATER FAN GOES OFF & ON, THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN WITH THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE LAST TIME THE ABS CAME ON WHILE I WAS DELIVERING MAIL AND MY BRAKES LOCKED UP. ONCE IT HAPPENED WHILE PARKED ( THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING WITHOUT KEYS), ALL OTHER TIMES I WAS DRIVING ON RURAL ROADS AND IN DEVELOPMENTS, BOTH DRIVING HOME & DELIVERING MAIL. I HAVE VIDEO ON MY PHONE OF THE OCCURRENCE TWO SEPARATE TIMES.
WHEN TRYING TO FILL GAS TANK IT WILL NOT TAKE THE FUEL AS IT SHUTS THE PUMP OFF. IT TAKES ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO PUT IN $10 WORTH OF GAS IN. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE.
GEARS ENGAGING WITH DELAY AS VEHICLE GETS HOT. WHEN PUTTING THE JEEP FROM THE PARK POSITION INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE HAS A DELAY ENGAGING WHICH GETS WORSE THE WARMER OR HOTTER THE CAR GETS AND OR THE LONGER IT RUNS. THIS PROBLEM BECAME WORSE OVER THE LAST 12 MONTHS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME/SIMILAR PROBLEM IN CERTAIN SPECIFIC BLOGS/FORUMS AND IN FEW CASES THE VEHICLE HAS ACTUALLY CAUGHT ON FIRE, SO NOW I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. *TR
