Car at random will not start, lights will not work or radio will stop working ... Check engine light stays on without any engine issues ... To pump fuel it takes 20 minutes to fill it up you can't walk away or it will over flow ... Jeep left me sit the other day and no garage can tell me whats wrong with it... Its not the starter ...

This jeep has been nothing but a issue. Have been to shops for a year. Check engine light wont stay off, wheels shake at certain speeds, over heats, radiator issues, you name it. The dealer would not cover anything and went out of business shortly after. This jeep is a lemon. There has to be recalls on this. Jeep is currently at garage again and they are saying possible computer issues again maybe 02 yada. Came out of grocery store the other night and the jeep would not start. Not the battery. Again the garage called and said it may be a electrical issue with the security of the vehicle. Just had new plugs and wires installed. This is absurd and there should be recalls on these jeeps. There is definitely safety concerns!!!!!!!! Haven't been able to get the engine light off as previously stated and thus still cant get a inspection going on a year! Someone please help!!!

First incident occurred when I put the jeep in reverse; the horn blew until it was taken out of reverse. The wipers came on and stayed on for the whole trip into work (1 hour) the windshield washer motor also ran. Engine light and airbag light came on. Since that time there are intermittent occurrences of doors locking and unlocking on their own. Wipers and washer turn on by themselves, headlights both went out in july horn wouldn't shut off, then the doors wouldn't unlock and when they did the wipers turned on. Every couple of weeks the jeep would lose power and stall. I have asked several ase certified mechanics their opinion and all say the same...tcim

I started my 2008 jeep wrangler jk and immediately got a check engine light with an audible sound. The engine was running very rough and shaking. I turned off the engine and it seemed fine but the check engine light was still on. I have a obd2 diagnostic code reader and it showed the code p0306. This is a misfire on the number six cylinder. I took it to larry h. Miller chrysler jeep dodge ram dealership in albuquerque and this is what was done. "wi tech diagnostics for fault codes, had store codes for injector #6 circuit, no work done, operating as per design". I asked what can be done to fix the problem and [xxx] said that the tech could not duplicate the problem so they could not fix anything. [xxx] offered to perform a fuel injector cleaning but this was the only options for now. The next day I started the jeep and had the same issue. I looked up this code 0306 on the jeep jk site and read posts of "pentastar problem". In all cases these people had to visit the dealership 4 to 5 times until they fixed the problem. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The sound in the dashboard for check engine light, all other lights door and seatbelt sounds do not work 90 percent of the time. 10 percent they will make a sound but then shut off. It is a mail jeep. I'm concerned thta something might have shorted out or will catch my vehicle on fire. When I told the dealership they told me it would cost a lot of money because they would have to take the dash out to find the problem. The reason so many miles is my postal route. This car should be reltively new for this to happened.
