What owners say
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.
This problem started in mid auust 2016 and is still going on ....wipers going off n on by themselves, horn blaring, lights blinking on n off, signm=al lights not working at times, jeep wont move forward at times, steering gets hard to manage, check engine light goes of and on all the time..... This happens at anytime or anywhere....can go on for about 2-3 minutes...people start staring as if I am crazy blowing the horn at them and my lights flashing through out. This should definitely be a recalled issue based on the 2007 jeep wrangler having the same issue...for all I know the 2008 jeeps were probably intalled parts from the line from the 2007 jeep wranglers which had problems with the ticm......I am trying to get estimates right now but the tcim part alone costs $425 or mre plus labor and additional for programming......this is ridiculous!!!!! Sometimes it happens when stopped at the light with vehicle on and sometimes when driving..hard to manuever car when driving due to difficult steering
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...
Engine light came on. Reads code p0585 speed control switch 1/2 correlation. Speed control does not work. Bad clock spring...
Tl*the contact owns a 2008 jeep wrangler. The vehicle was serviced for the remedy associated with recall 09v436000 (power train: automatic transmission). Upon receiving the vehicle back from the authorized dealer, the contact stated that while driving for an extended period of time, an engine warning light would illuminate on the instrument panel while driving uphill. The warning light would display that the vehicle was over heating. The contact stated that the failure was not dependent upon the speed at which the vehicle was traveling. This failure occurred three times and was taken to an authorized dealership on each occasion where the computer was reprogrammed. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000. The current mileage was 40,500.
My brand new 2008 jeep wrangler unlimited sahara, after only 8 days and 499 miles stalled today while driving. It actually stalled 6 times total withing a 2 mile trip home. The instrument cluster lit up like a christmas tree, the radio went out and the engine stalled, taking the power brakes and steering with it. The engine would not restart, just clicked. After waiting 5 minutes or so, the engine turned over, only to stall within a half mile and the process repeated itself 4 times after that. Now my check engine light remains on and the car is at the dealership. I am afraid that chrysler did not infact take care of the stalling recall of last model year(2007) and that the new model year is affected with this stall bug as well. I am concerned because when it happened I was doing a whopping 5 MPH, I am concerned it could happen at highway speeds and cause great injury to me or my wife or others. I ask you please look into this and/or keep it on record for future notices to potentially recall other wranglers. Thank you for your time on this matter. Please feel free to contact me for further information.
