2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Electrical System Problems

ISSUES STARTED WITH VEHICLE NOT ABLE TO START AND INABILITY TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. BATTERY WOULD TEST GOOD. AFTER DISCONNECTING BATTERY, VEHICLE WOULD START AS USUALLY. ISSUE BEGAN TO ESCALATE WITH OIL LIGHT AND ESP LIGHT RANDOMLY LIGHTING UP ON THE DASH. FINALLY, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL AND ESP LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATOR WAS UNRESPONSIVE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. I HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS WITH NO RESOLUTION. I AM NOW REPLACING THE COMPUTER IN HOPES THAT IT WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUES. I HAVE HAD THE JEEP IN FOR AUTO SERVICE 5 TIMES SINCE JANUARY.

Mileage: 129,400

ELECTRICAL PROBLEM CAUSING STARTING PROBLEMS, ISSUES WITH WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND NO LIGHTS ON DASH OR HEADLIGHTS/BREAK LIGHTS. AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD WILL TURN OFF AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS GO ON ON THEIR OWN. THE HEADLIGHTS AND BREAK LIGHTS WILL ALSO NOT WORK. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND RADIO WILL STILL FUNCTION. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM OR SOLUTION.

Mileage: 10

JEEP HAS MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. JEEPS TIPM MODULE HAS CAUSED THE JEEP TO DIE WHILE DRIVING, EXPERIENCE LACKING POWER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO OFF AND SEEMS TO BRAKE ITSELF. I REPLACED ITNLESS THAN A YEAR AGO AND NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING IT IS GOING OUT AGAIN. ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PCM AND PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER.

Mileage: 140,000

RANDOMLY THE JEEP WILL COMPLETELY GO CRAZY. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WITH FLUID RUN, BLINKERS, HORN, AND ----> THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS. I CALLED THE LOCAL JEEP DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL CHRYSLER. I DID SOME RESEARCH IN JEEP FORUMS ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP WRANGLERS FROM 2007 FORWARD. JEEP HAS A RECALL FOR THE MOST RECENT MODELS, BUT NO RECALL FOR THE PREVIOUS YEARS TO INCLUDE MINE. I'M REALLY CONFUSED HOW THIS HAPPENS TO SO MANY JEEP WRANGLERS AROUND MY YEAR, BUT THERE ARE NO RECALLS. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND DEFINITELY FOR OTHER VEHICLES AROUND.

Mileage: 5

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN COMPLETE POWER LOSS INCLUDING BRAKES, STEERING, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. HORN STARTED CONSTANTLY GOING, FRONT AND REAR WIPERS GOING. TURNED KEY OFF AND REMOVED, BUT EVERYTHING WAS STILL GOING LIKE A POSSESSED CAR. HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET EVERYTHING TO SHUT OFF. MECHANIC HAS TOLD ME IT IS LIKELY A FAILURE OF THE CAR'S TIPM, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH JEEPS AND OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. CALLED FCA AND THEY WON'T STSAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, SAYING IT'S NOT ASN ISSUE.

Mileage: 130,000

THE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON AND OFF EITHER STATIONARY OR WHILE DRIVING. THE BLOWER MOTOR, FLASHERS, INTERIOR LIGHTS, HORN, AND THE WIPERS COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY EITHER STATIONARY OR WHILE DRIVING. EITHER THE BATTERY NEEDS TO BE DISCONNECTED OR THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD NEEDS TO BE JIGGLED BEFORE IT WOULD STOP. SCHEDULED TO GO IN THE SHOP FRIDAY FOR THE REPAIR. ODDLY ENOUGH THE DEALERSHIP HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR WORSE IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED.

Mileage: 100,000

WHILE DRIVING ALL DASH LIGHTS TURN ON HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK WIPERS START WIPING AND WIPER WASHERS START SQUIRTING THE ENGINE STALLS AND WILL NOT START LOOKED INTO ISSUE AND TIPM IS BAD IN ALL 2007-2011 DODGE, CHRYSLER AND JEEP

Mileage: 100,000

WHILE IN MOTION CAR DIES AND LIGHTS BEGIN FLASHING, HORN GOES OFF AND ON, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND FLUID ARE ACTIVATED AND DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK.

Mileage: 100,000

WHILE DRIVING THE HORN STARTS BLOWING UNCONTROLLABLY. THE WINDSHIELD WASHER ACTIVATES UNCONTROLLABILITY AND WINDSHIELD WIPER ACTIVITY. ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS SOMETIME WON'T LOCK. ELECTRIC WINDOWS SOMETIMES WON'T GO DOWN. THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE TIPM.

Mileage: 191,000

JEEP TIPM FAILURE NUMEROUS TIMES. HEADLIGHTS STOP WORKING COMPLETELY, AIRBAGS REPORTEDLY NON WORKING, WINSHIELD WIPERS WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO, HORN BLOWS ON ITS OWN. DOOR LOCKS CYCLE ON THEIR OWN. ENGINE WONT SHUT OFF WITH THE KEY UNLESS UNHOOKING THE BATTERY.

Mileage: 82,500

TIPM- DOOR LOCKS SHORTED OUT, FUEL PUMP QUITS STRANDING THE VEHICLE ON THE STREET, WILL NOT RESTART WITHOUT PULLING AND RESETTING THE IOD FUSE, CAUSES AIRBAG LIGHT TO FLASH FAULT, REAR WIPER QUITS. THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE OR UNABLE TO BE USED. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT NEW AND WOULDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT THIS IF THROUGH RESEARCH I HAD NOT FOUND HOW MANY FAILURES EXPERIENCED BY MANY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO THIS PARTS FAILURE RATE. PARKED THE VEHICLE AND WHEN WENT TO RESTART IT IT WOULD NOT RESART, THEN THE DOORS STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING REPEATEDLY LOCKING ME OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEYS IN IT. I RESET THE IOD FUSE AND IT STARTED. THEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE WARNING LIGHTS IN THE DASH STARTED FLASHING, AIRBAG, TCS, ANTI THEFT, TIRE PRESSURE, ABS, STABILITY CONTROL ALL CAME ON THEN VEHICLE SHUT OFF. IT WOULD START THEN RUN FOR A FEW SECONDS AND DIE. THROUGH RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE RELATED TO THE ANTI THEFT IN THE TIPM-. TRIED REPLACING THE DOOR LOCK FUSE AND IT STARTED ARCING AND SMOKING. VEHICLE IS PARKED NOW WITH A TIPM- ON ORDER. AS STATED PREVIOUSLY, I BOUGHT THIS JEEP NEW AND IF IT WAS NOT SUCH A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER PRODUCTS I WOUL NOT THINK MUCH ABOUT A PART FAILURE AT TEN YEARS.

Mileage: 101,000

ALL HEADLIGHTS GO OFF RANDOMLY. STARTED INTERMITTENT, THEN MORE OFTEN CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES AT NIGHT. CHECKED EVERYTHING MULTIPLE TIMES, NOW THEY COME ON AND BLINK 3 TIMES. TIPM MODEL WAS CAUSING PROBLEMS BUT NO CODES. LOOKS LIKE REPEATING ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER AND SHOULD BE RECALL

Mileage: 95,000

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED HAS BEGUN EXHIBITING VERY STRANGE BEHAVIOR: 1) THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPER SPRAY DOES NOT WORK. THE REAR WIPER SPRAY WORKS FINE. VERY UNUSUAL SINCE BOTH FRONT AND REAR SPRAY USES THE SAME PUMP. THUS POSES A SAFETY ISSUE. 2) THE DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER LOCK WHEN THE LOCK BUTTON IS PRESSED ON THE KEY FOB. THIS IS TRUE FOR EITHER FOB, AND YES, I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERIES. 3) THE CAR SOMETIMES DOES NOT START. THE ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM, AND CAN SOMETIMES BE RESOLVED BY REMOVING THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION, RE-INSERTING THEM AND TRYING AGAIN. SOMETIMES 5 OR MORE ATTEMPTS ARE REQUIRED TO GET THE CAR TO START. IN MY RESEARCH, ALL OF THESE SYMPTOMS POINT TO A FAULTY TIPM MODULE.

AS THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT NIGHT ON A TWO-LANE COUNTRY ROAD AT 35 MPH, THE ELECTRICAL POWER OF THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS, RADIO, INTERIOR POWER, VENTILATION, AND ENGINE. THE DURATION OF THE OUTAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS. THIS POWER OUTAGE OCCURRED JUST PRIOR TO A CURVE AND CAUSED LOSS OF VISION AND ABS BRAKING, CAUSING A SKID AND NARROWLY MISSED COLLIDING WITH A GUARDRAIL. THE POWER THEN CAME BACK ON, AND ALL SYSTEMS APPEARED TO RETURN TO NORMAL. THERE APPEARS TO BE A POWER DISTRIBUTION PROBLEM THAT AFFECTED THE OPERABILITY OF THE VEHICLE, CREATING A HAZARDOUS CONDITION. BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECK OUT OK, SO A POWER SUPPLY PROBLEM IS NOT A ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE.

Mileage: 120,000

SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER IN 2015 FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IT STARTED TO INTERMITTENTLY NOT START. IT WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER. HAD IT TOWED TO THE SAME LOCAL JEEP DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY CHECKED IT OUT. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A FAULTY TIPM. THEY REPLACED THE FAULTY TIPM AND NOW TWO YEARS LATER IT IS DOING THE SAME THING.

Mileage: 98,341

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) ITEM HAS FAILED , CAUSING ME TO REPLACE OTHER PARTS DIAGNOSED BY PCM AS BEING FAULTY, BUT REPLACING THOSE PARTS RESULTED IN SAME ERROR CODES. ACTUAL FAULT FOUND TO BE A FAILING TIPM. I HAVE CONSTANT ERROR CODES, RANDOM HORN, OR LACK OF HORN, RANDOM ACTUATING OF STABILITY CONTROL CAUSING ONE CORNER OF JEEP TO BRAKE SUDDENLY AND GIVING THE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT. RANDOM POWER AND FUEL ECONOMY PROBLEMS. SPENT +$600 IN PARTS THAT DID NOT FIX WHAT JEEP SAID WAS PROBLEM, WHEN PROBLEM IS TIPM GIVING THE PROBLEM. JUST WAITING TO SEE IF BURSTS INTO FLAMES, AS HAVE SMELLED HOT WIRES COMING FROM IT RECENTLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE STATIONARY AND IN WHILE MOTION.

Mileage: 104,000

ON MY JEEP WRANGLER THE TIPM WENT OUT. I UNDERSTAND THAT 2008 JEEP WRANGLER HAVE THIS AS A RECALL BUT THEY HAVE TOLD ME MY VIN NUMBER HASN'T SHOWN UP TO BE A PROBLEM YET OR NEXT IN LINE FOR THIS RECALL. IS THERE A WAY I CAN GET MY JEEP VIN TO SHOW SO I CAN GET THIS FIXED. WHIPPERS ARE GOING OFF EVEN THO ITS OFF. DASH LIGHTS WON'T TURN ON OR SHOW I HAVE ANY FUEL. I CAN NOT CHANGE THE GEAR.

Mileage: 53,000

IN OCTOBER 2016 TOOK MY CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME OF A RECALL OF CLOCK SPRING. I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN 4 TIMES FOR FAULTY CLOCK SPRINGS. MY AIRBAG LIGHTS AND HORN GO OFF AT RANDOM TIMES SOMETIMES MY HORN NEVER WORKS AND MY AIR BAG LIGHT GOES CRAZY WITH THE HORN...LIKE THE CAR IS POSSESSED.

Mileage: 145,000

AFTER MY VEHICLE SITTING OUTSIDE OF MY JOB FOR 8 HOURS RUNNING WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE I THEN COME OUT TO A DEAD JEEP!, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TIPM WHY WASN'T THIS RECALLED AND WHY IS THE DEALERSHIP MAKING ME RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMETHING I HAD MY JEEP 1 MONTH! SAD TO SAY JEEP IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS THAT MY VEHICLE CAN STAY ON AND CUT OFF WHEN EVER IT WANTS TOO!

Mileage: 138,000

OPENED PASSENGER DOOR. FRONT AND REAR WIPERS TURNED ON BY THEMSELVES ON HIGH. 30 SECONDS LATER HORN WENT ON CONSTANT BLAST. STARTED VEHICLE, WIPER AND HORN STILL ON. PULLED KEYS FROM IGNITION, BUT VEHICLE STAYED RUNNING. POPPED CLUTCH TO SHUT OFF. PULLED BATTERY CABLE. EVERYTHING RESET. LATER IN DAY, TRIED TO START, WIPERS TURNED ON BY THEMSELVES AGAIN, HAZZARD LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING - BUT JEEP WOULD NOT START. POWER LOCKS AND WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK. RADIO DID WORK ALONG WITH HEADLIGHTS. STARTER WOULD NOT CLICK OR ENGAGE, IT WAS JUST DEAD. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. TIPM REPLACED TWICE PREVIOUSLY 5 MONTHS AND 9 MONTHS EARLIER. NOW AT DEALERSHIP, BATTERY REHOOKED UP, EVERYTHING IS FINE.

Mileage: 104,500

HORN NOT WORKING BECAUSE OF CLOCK SPRING FAILURE. DEALER REFUSE TO REPLACE CLOCK SPRING BASED ON RECALL 16V-290 RECALL DATE: JUNE 28, 2016. DEALER SAID THAT THEY SCANNED FOR CODES FOR AIR BAG FAILURE AND DID NOT FIND ANY. THOUGH, CLOCK SPRING HAS FAILED AND IT HAS DISABLED THE VEHICLE'S HORN.

Mileage: 92,400

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

Mileage: 144,268

JEEP WILL START HONKING HORN, WIPERS ON , WASHER FLUID SHOOTING OUT, DOOR LOCKS WON'T WORK. THEN IT ALL CLEARS UP, THERE ARE TIME WHEN THE BATTERY HAS TO BE DISCONNECTED . BUT ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. ALL BELLS AND LIGHTS WENT ON, WIPERS ON HIGH, HORN WAS STUCK ON, AND THEN ENGINE JUST DIES! LUCKILY I HAD ENOUGH SPEED TO GET IT TO THE SHOULDER. JUMPED OUT TO PULL THE HORN WIRE, I WAS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT 5 A.M. WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN ENGINE STARTED BACK UP, WITH THE KEYS IN MY POCKET! EVERYTHING FINALLY STOP RUNNING AND I WENT ON TO MY JOB RELUCTANTLY. NOW SPORADICALLY THE WIPERS GO ON, DOORS WON'T UNLOCK, ENGINE WON'T START, HORN BLARES, WASHER FLUID GOES ON ALL BY THERE SELF. THIS IS MY ONLY CAR TO DRIVE, I'M GOING TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER TO GET IT HOOKED UP TO SCAN THE COMPUTER, AND HOPEFULLY FIND THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 89,900

AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. MY ISSUE SEEMS CONSISTENT WITH RECALLS DUE TO CLOCK SPRING FAILURE IN RIGHT HAND MODEL JEEPS. CALL TO CHRYSLER CONFIRMED AS SUCH, BUT THEY WON'T COMMIT TO FIX UNTIL RECALL INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY IS CONCLUDED.

PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW IN 2008. APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS LATER , I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR STARTING. PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, TURN IT AND YOU HEAR A CLICK. INITIALLY, IT SEEMED TO OCCUR SPORADICALLY NORMALLY AFTER IT RAINED . NOW, THE PROBLEM OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY (DAILY) ABSENT ANY RAIN. I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER TO NO AVAIL. I ALSO TOOK THE CAR TO A JEEP DEALER TO NO AVAIL .

Mileage: 20,000

THE CLOCK SPRING FAILED AND NOW THE AIRBAG, HORN, AND CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. IT STARTED WITH A CLICKING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN TURNING, THEN AFTER A POPPING NOISE EVERYTHING MENTIONED STOPPED WORKING. AFTER RESEARCH THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.

Mileage: 65,000

AIRBAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON AND DIGGING. HORN INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT WORK. HAPPENS RIGHT WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION ON AND START THE VEHICLE AND DOES NOT GO AWAY UNTIL IGNITION IS TURNED OFF.

Mileage: 85,000

POSSIBLE FAULTY CLOCK SPRING ISSUE AS SEEN IN MANY OTHER JEEP WRANGLERS MADE AFTER 2007. AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WITH AUDIBLE WARNING EVERY OTHER MINUTE AND SIGNALS THE DRIVER THAT THERE COULD BE A FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG OR EARLY DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY JEEP BUT THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO ONLY PURSUE RIGHT HAND DRIVE RHD JEEPS EVEN THOUGH MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY LEFT HAND DRIVE LHD JEEP OWNERS AS WELL. JEEP ADMITTED THE ORIGINAL CLOCK SPRINGS WERE FAILING AND SAID THEY WERE WORKING ON A NEW ONE. I CALLED JEEP YESTERDAY AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED, BUT THAT I SHOULD HANG ON TO MY BILLS IN CASE IT EVER BECOMES COVERED. I ONLY HAVE 30,500 MILES ON MY JEEP. MANY OWNERS HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS AND ONLY A FEW HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. THIS IS A FACTORY PRODUCT SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY JEEP.

Mileage: 30,500

I AM HAVING CONTINUALLY INCREASING EPISODES WHERE MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4 DR 4X4 EXPERIENCES WHAT I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE AS AN ELECTRICAL "SPASM." ALL OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, WASHER FLUID MANIFOLDS, DOOR LOCKS, & HORN ALL OPERATE CONTINUOUSLY, AND WILL NOT STOP UNLESS THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED. HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT THIS "UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM" ISN'T GOING TO GET WORSE, AND BY WORSE, I MEAN AFFECT SOMETHING CRUCIAL TO THE SAFE OPERATION OF MY VEHICLE WHEN I'M DRIVING IT AT FREEWAY SPEEDS? IF THIS VEHICLE HAS SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WHILE I'M DRIVING IT AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, THEN A LOT OF PEOPLE COULD BE SEVERELY INJURED DUE TO THE SIZE OF THIS VEHICLE BECOMING UNCONTROLLABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED/IDLING, WHILE IT IS DRIVING, AND NOW, AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I HAVE TAKEN IT DIRECTLY TO A JEEP DEALER IMMEDIATELY AFTER BOTH EPISODES. THE FIRST TIME, I HAD TO WAIT SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE THE VEHICLE COULD BE DRIVEN. THE 2ND TIME IT OCCURRED I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO A JEEP DEALER, AND THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AFTER SEVERAL DAYS. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD AT THE VERY LEAST, BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, AND REDESIGN WHICHEVER ELECTRICAL COMPONENT, OR SYSTEM, THAT'S CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I WOULD EVEN BE WILLING TO PURCHASE THE PART AT THE MANUFACTURER'S COST, IF IT GOT RID OF THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 56,000

STARTED JEEP, WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD NOT STOP, HAD NO DASH INDICATORS, NO BLINKERS, WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. HAD TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT STILL REMAINS. CHRYSLER CAN NOT GET PART UNTIL 03-28-16. THEY WANT ME TO GO 3 MONTHS WITHOUT A VEHICLE THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR!!!

Mileage: 102,000

WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN NO ONE IS IN THE VEHICLE. THE WIPERS START GOING, WINDSHIELD WASHERS START AND STOP, HORN STARTS BLOWING, LIGHTS START FLASHING OFF AND ON, ALL DASH INSTRUMENTS GO OFF AND ON AND THE HORN BLOWS INTERMITTENTLY. THE DOOR LOCKS ENGAGE WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING WITH THE MOTOR OFF AND NO ONE IN THE CAR.

Mileage: 1,200

HORN DOES NOT WORK WHEN PUSHED, BUT HORN SOUNDS OFF WHEN LOCKING OR ALARM, AS IT SHOULD. ASKED DEALERSHIP TO FIX IT SOON AFTER WE BOUGHT AND THEY WOULD NOT. DIDN'T THINK DEALERSHIP COULD SELL DEFECTIVE CAR. TOOK JEEP TO GET CHECKED AND MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. MECHANIC RECOMMENDED REPLACING PART FOR A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY $600.00.

THE SECURITY SYSTEM ACTIVATED WITHOUT CAUSE. I REMOVED THE KEY, TRIED LOCKING THE DOOR AND UNLOCKING, INSERTING THE KEY IN THE DOOR TO TURN IT OFF. NOTHING WORKED. I TO HAD TO PULL THE FUSE FOR THE LIGHTS AND HORN SO MY NEIGHBORS COULD GET SOME SLEEP. I TOOK ANOTHER VEHICLE TO WORK. IT HAS NOT ACTED UP SINCE. THE WEEK BEFORE THE ALARM SYSTEM ACTIVATING THE LIGHTS WOULD COME ON WITHOUT CAUSE AS WELL. WE WERE SITTING IN THE HOUSE AND THE LIGHTS WOULD GO AND OFF FOR NO REASON. WE TOOK THE BATTERIES OUT OF THE KEY THINKING IT WAS THE BATTERIES GOING BAD. THIS DID NOT FIX THE INTERMITTENT LIGHTS ISSUE. I HAD THE TIPM REPLACED JULY 2015 BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS STAYED ON ALL THE TIME THEN WOULD FLASH FROM TIME TO TIME. THE WIPERS WOULD GO ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN. THE HORN BLARED WHEN IT FELT LIKE IT. ALL THESE SYMPTOMS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. THE JEEP DEALERSHIP RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID THE UNIT WAS BAD. SURELY AN $800 PART WITHOUT LABOR IS SUPPOSE TO LAST MORE THAN 5 MONTHS!!!!

Mileage: 112,000

LAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING, SUDDENLY THE WIPERS, WASHERS AND HORN CAME ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. TODAY IT WAS RAINING & THE WIPER WOULD TURN ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE ITS RAINING. SO DANGEROUS IT WAS REALLY SCARY. YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER ANY PART OF THE ELECTRONIC ELECTRICAL SYSTEM & YOU PUTTING YOURSELF AND OTHER TO DANGER & CAN CAUSE SOME SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Mileage: 81,300

AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED TO GO ON AND OFF INCLUDING A WARNING SOUND AROUND 40,000 MILES. IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR A WHILE AND THEN GOES OFF AND COMES BACK ON. BELIEVED TO BE RELATED TO THE CLOCKSPRING.

Mileage: 40,000

SO I OWN AN '08 JEEP WRANGLER X. MY PROBLEM HAPPENS TO BE WITH THE FACTORY TIMP ON MY VEHICLE. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE CAR DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO BLARE THE HORN NON STOP AS WELL AS FLASH LIGHTS AND UTILIZE ITS WINDSHIELD WHIPPERS AND FLUID. TODAY, 11/20/215, WAS THE LONGEST AND MOST FRUSTRATING EPISODE. USUALLY THE HORN WOULD START BUT THEN SUBSIDE AFTER 20-30 SECONDS. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AND AT 5AM THE HORN, LIGHTS, AND WHIPPERS STARTED GOING OFF AND DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I HAD TO PULL THE FUSES FOR THE HORN. AFTER THAT EVERYTHING STOPPED AND I ONLY HAD TO REMOVE THE TWO HORN FUSES. I ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT THE HEATER DID NOT WORK UNTIL AFTER THIS ENTIRE EPISODE AS I WAS IN FACT DRIVING WHILE THIS ALL OCCURRED. IN ADDITION TO THIS ISSUE I HAVE EXPERIENCED GAS SPIT BACK ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE FILLING UP. I HAVE RESEARCHED BOTH ISSUES AND IT SEEMS AS THESE ARE BOTH RELATED TO A DEFECTIVE TIMP. I HAVE ALSO READ THERE CURRENTLY ISN'T A RECALL AND THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER NATION WIDE. I HAVE NOT ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR ISSUE YET.

Mileage: 107,263

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. HORN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND CRUISE CONTROL UNEXPECTEDLY TURNING OFF.ALL ISSUES SEEM TO BE HAPPENING WHILE MOVING AND TURNING.

Mileage: 91,100

TIPM FAILURE. HORN, WIPERS, WINDSHIELD GO OFF WHILE DRIVING, WOULD NOT STOP EVEN WITH VEHICLE OFF. HAVE TO PULL BATTERY CABLE. WOULD ALSO GO OFF BY JUST OPENING DOOR, KEY NOT IN IGNITION. AUTO TRANSMISSION STOPPED SHIFTING GEARS, A/C FAN STOPPED WORKING.

Mileage: 39,500

WINDSHEILD WIPERS TURN ON AUTOMATICALLY WON'T STOP SIMULTANEOUSLY HORN HONKS, LIGHTS FLASH - HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AND WHEN DRIVING. FAULTY TIPM.

Mileage: 109,000

THIS MORNING I OPENED THE UNLOCKED FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND THE CRAZINESS BEGAN - DOORS LOCKED ON THEIR OWN, HORN STARTED BLARING, HEADLIGHTS TAILIGHTS AND HAZARDS STARTED FLASHING, FRONT AND BACK WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING, WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID STARTED SHOOTING OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE REMOTE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS - NOTHING HAPPENED. USED THE KEY TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR - AGAINST THE SYSTEM TRYING TO RELOCK. THEN CRANKED THE ENGINE TO TRY AND GET EVERYTHING TO STOP. IT DID NOT STOP. I TURNED OFF THE JEEP THEN POPPED THE HOOD AND DISCONNECTED THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL. ALL THE CRAZINESS STOPPED. I WAITED @5 MINUTES AND THEN RECONNECTED THE BATTERY. ALL THE CRAZINESS STARTED AGAIN. SO I PULLED THE NEGATIVE AND THE POSITIVE FROM THE TERMINAL HOPING TO RESET THE SYSTEM. I HAVE NOT RECONNECTED THE SYSTEM TO TRY AGAIN. I AM WORRIED THAT EVEN IF THE CRAZINESS DOESN'T START ONCE I RECONNECT THE BATTERY, IF I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT BEGINS IT MAY CAUSE ME TO WRECK. I WILL SEND A FOLLOW-UP EMAIL. THANKS.

WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND HAS REMAINED ILLUMINATED SINCE. THE LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS AT OR NEAR FULL DEFLECTION IN EITHER DIRECTION. BASED ON MY RESEARCH IT IS LIKELY A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING, WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED IN THE 2007 MODEL BUT NOT 2008, DESPITE IT BEING AN IDENTICAL PART INSTALLED IN A NEARLY IDENTICAL VEHICLE. THIS INDICATION IS A DIRECT ISSUE OF SAFETY AS IT SHOWS THERE COULD BE A FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 83,500

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...

Mileage: 180,000

WHILE DRIVING, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT TURNS ON WITH A SINGLE WARNING CHIME. AFTER 5-10 SECONDS LIGHT GOES AWAY BUT RETURNS SOON AFTERWARDS AGAIN REMAINING ON FOR 5-10 SECONDS. SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE DURING CITY DRIVING THAN HIGHWAY DRIVING. I VIEW THIS AS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE JEEP OWNER'S MANUAL STATES, "AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IN YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL COULD MEAN YOU WONT HAVE THE AIRBAGS TO PROTECT YOU IN A COLLISION." I HAVE ALSO HEARD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 2008 JEEP WRANGLERS.

Mileage: 59,913

2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED SAHARA HAS HAD ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE ISSUES INCLUDING STALLING OUT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AS WELL AS NOT STARTING. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY CHANGED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE HAD ISSUES SUCH AS ALL THE LIGHTS, BUTTONS, ALERT/WARNING LIGHTS GOING OFF SIMULTANEOUSLY FOLLOWED BY COMPLETE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SHUT-OFF REQUIRING TOW-SERVICE TO DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BATTERY AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AFTER THAT I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE STALLS AND NON-STARTS AND THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN SAYS I NEED A NEW BATTERY. I HAVE HAD THREE BATTERIES IN THREE YEARS. THE HORN HAS STOPPED WORKING AROUND 50,000 MILES. THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE MY STEERING WHEEL AND COMPLETE STEERING COLUMN. I DECIDED I COULD LIVE WITHOUT A HORN FOR A SHORT WHILE. THE NEXT TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPORTED THAT I NEED A NEW CLOCKSPRING WHICH ALSO CONTROLS MY AIRBAGS WHICH "MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT STILL BE FUNCTIONAL." SEEING AS I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS BEFORE, INCLUDING MALFUNCTIONS IN THE ALERT/WARNING LIGHTS, THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT TELL FOR SURE IF MY AIRBAGS WORK OR NOT. THE LOCKS TO MY JEEP HAVE STOPPED WORKING FROM BOTH THE INSIDE DOOR SWITCH AND THE KEY FOB. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THIS AS A "TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE" (TIPM) MALFUNCTION RESULTING IN LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER. THEY EXPLAINED THAT THERE IS A BACK-ORDER ON TIPM PIECES NATIONWIDE AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN I COULD GET MINE REPLACED. WHEN ASKED HOW THE TIPM COULD BREAK, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NO ONE WAY AND THAT IT "JUST HAPPENS." MY DOORS CURRENTLY ONLY LOCK/UNLOCK BY HAND, AND SOMETIMES WHEN I LOCK THEM BY HAND AND RETURN TO MY JEEP, THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED. FURTHERMORE, THE AUTOMATIC SECURITY LOCK FEATURE WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS MOVING DOES NOT WORK EITHER.

MY JEEP'S HORN BEGAN HONKING, WIPERS CAME ON, DOOR LOCKS BEGAN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. NOTHING STOPPED UNTIL I GOT HOME AND MY HUSBAND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. HE CONNECTED IT SEVERAL HOURS LATER AND IT WAS FINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME NOTHING COULD BE DONE AS THE PROBLEM HAD STOPPED. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING OCCURRED ALONG WITH THE A/C SHUTTING OFF. WE WENT THROUGH THE SAME STEPS; DISCONNECT BATTERY, RECONNECT AND TOOK TO DEALERSHIP. AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT THEY REALLY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE BECAUSE NOTHING WAS HAPPENING AT THAT POINT. LAST NIGHT MY JEEP BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND SCARED ME AS I COULD NOT REGAIN CONTROL. I HAD TO SLOW AND PULL OVER SO IT COULD STOP. MY HUSBAND CAME TO GET ME AND WAS FOLLOWING ME WHEN IN ADDITION TO THE PAST THINGS HAPPENING (I CALL IT POSSESSED), THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON; BRAKE, ENGINE, ABS, BATTERY, ETC. IT THEN STALLED AS I WAS TURNING. LUCKILY THE WOMAN COMING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION SLOWED AND WENT AROUND OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. MY HUSBAND TOWED THE JEEP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT THERE, AND TOLD THEM TO FIX IT AS IT IS A REAL ROAD HAZARD. IN READING ABOUT JEEP COMPLAINTS, I'M ASSUMING IT IS A "TIPM" PROBLEM AND SOMETHING CALLED A "DEATH WOBBLE". I AM ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED THAT THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED.

Mileage: 116,400

AS I WAS STOPPING AT LOCAL ARBY'S RESTAURANT FOR LUNCH, MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER SAHARA UNLIMITED STARTED SMOKING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IT SMELLED LIKE ELECTRICAL WIRES BURNING. IT IGNITED BEFORE I COULD EXIT THE VEHICLE AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES IT WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THERE WERE SEVERAL WITNESSES WHO SAW THE FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911 AND WITHIN MINUTES THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE JEEP IS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

Mileage: 67,000

MY JEEP WILL RANDOMLY SQUIRT WIPER FLUID, LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS, HONK HORN, TURN OFF AND ON HEADLIGHTS, ETC. ALL THINGS THAT ARE CONTROLLED BY THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AND IT DIFFERS EACH TIME, BUT I AM WORRIED THAT IT IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY AND WILL HAPPEN WHEN I AM ON A HIGHWAY - IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE DANGEROUS. DUE TO ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ABOUT IT FROM JEEP OWNERS OF MY YEAR AND THE RECALL ON PREVIOUS CHRYSLER'S DUE TO THE TIPM, A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED FOR THESE. *TR

Mileage: 112,000

VARIOUS DASH LIGHTS TURN ON AND BACK OFF AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS. I HAD THE PROBLEM IN AUG. 2013, AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING FOR $550. LESS THAN TWO YEARS LATER, AND THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED. VERY DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THAT ONLY THE 2008 RHD WERE RECALLED.

Mileage: 75,100

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE ALL OF THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND BLINKED(ABS,ESC,TRACTION CONTROL,BRAKE,SEATBELT) THEN THE VEHICLE STALLED CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. LUCKILY NO VEHICLES AROUND AND I REGAINED CONTROL AFTER GOING IN THE MEDIAN. PUT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND GOT OUT. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED AGAIN TURNING EVERYTHING OFF INCLUDING 4 WAY FLASHERS WHEN I STOPPED AT A LIGHT. IT WAS DARK AND THE JEEP IS DARK GREEN. I HAD A FLASHLIGHT TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I OPENED THE HOOD AND POUNDED MY FIST ON THE MAIN FUSE BOX. AFTER 3 MINUTES THE VEHICLE CAME TO LIFE AND I STARTED IT TO GET OFF ROADWAY. *TR

Mileage: 82,203

WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD THE JEEP STARTING FLASHING THE ESC LIGHT, THE TRACTION CONTROL, BRAKES, ABS AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD SKIP AND NOT GIVE A READING. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD ALSO FLICKER. JUST TO NOTE THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY ARE GOOD. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED ME LOSS OF CONTROL IN SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. *TR

Mileage: 82,150

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

Mileage: 52,000

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

IN JUNE OF 2011, MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) HAD TO BE SERVICED DUE TO THE ILLUMINATION OF THE AIRBAG LIGHT. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS DUE TO A MALFUNCTION OF THE CLOCKSPRING AND WAS REPLACED. AT THE TIME, MY JEEP HAD ABOUT 52000 MILES. I JUST ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN AND TOOK MY JEEP BACK IN TO THE DEALER. I AM NOW HAVING TO REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING A SECOND TIME AND MY VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 74500 MILES AS OF THIS MONTH (DECEMBER 2013). I AM VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE NOT ONLY DOES JEEP NOT COVER THESE MALFUNCTIONS (TWICE!), BUT IT IS ALSO A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH A DEFECTIVE CLOCKSPRING/ILLUMINATED AIRBAG LIGHT. JEEP HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON THE PART FOR THE 2007 MODELS AND THE 2008-2012 (RHD) MODELS ONLY. UNFORTUNATELY, THOSE OF US WITH DEFECTIVE CLOCKSPRINGS IN OUR 2008-2012 LHD MODELS ARE FORCED TO PAY AN AVERAGE OF $500 FOR THE REPAIR OR BE FORCED TO DRIVE IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH AN AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT WILL NOT DEPLOY. NOT ONLY HAS MINE GONE OUT ONCE, BUT TWICE! IN BOTH CASES, MY CLOCKSPRING HAS MALFUNCTIONED WITHOUT ANY KNOWN CAUSE. THIS WAS VERIFIED BY THE TECHNICIANS WHO REPLACED THE PARTS. THIS IS A CENTRAL SAFETY COMPONENT AND A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THIS IS NOT A COMPONENT THAT SHOULD JUST WEAR OUT LIKE BRAKES AND TIRES. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO REPLACE IT EVERY SO OFTEN LIKE GETTING AN OIL CHANGE. I CAN UNDERSTAND (PERHAPS) GETTING A FAULTY PART, CALL IT BAD LUCK, BUT NOT GETTING THE SAME FAULTY PART TWICE. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT COST EFFECTIVE, OR ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE NOT DIED (FORTUNATELY) FROM THE CLOCKSPRING, FOR JEEP TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE PART, BUT AT LEAST COVER INDIVIDUALS ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS ESPECIALLY IF THE PART HAS FAILED TWICE. FOR JEEP TO NOT REPLACE THE PART IS POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DANGEROUS TO MY FAMILY AND I. *TR

MY AIRBAGS DO NOT WORK NOR DOES MY HORN AND SOMETIMES SIGNAL WILL NOT OPERATE OR STAY ON AND CANNOT SHUT THEM OFF AND EVEN MY HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON, ALL TO ME MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP AND THEY SAY THAT THE LIFETIME WARRANTY THAT I HAVE ON THIS VEHICLE IS NOT COVERING THIS PART CALLED A CLOCKSPRING FOR MY MAKE AND YEAR OF THIS JEEP, BUT ONLY IN A RIGHT HAND DRIVEN CONFIGURATION. AFTER HEARING FROM MANY WRANGLER OWNERS AND READING HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS OF ONLINE POST AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCES FORM OTHERS OWNING THESE JEEPS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES AND JEEP WILL NOT REPLACE IT AT ALL UNTIL, AS TOLD TO ME FROM JEEP, THE NHTSA FORCES US TOO. THAT IS WHY I AM EMAILING/CONTACTING YOU ALL. 1000'S OF US JEEP OWNERS ARE TIRED OF PAYING $500 PLUS TO GET A PART REPLACED THAT EVEN JEEP HAS ACKNOWLEDGED IS BAD OR WILL GO BAD. I'M FURIOUS ABOUT THIS AND WANT SOME TYPE OF ACTION TAKEN. IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, I HAVE NO AIRBAG SAFETY PROTECTION, NOR ABLE TO USE MY HORN OR SIGNALS MANY OF TIMES.

CAR IS DEAD. BATTERY IS NOT THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM ORIGINATING IN THE STEERING COLUMN. MECHANIC THINKS IT IS THE CLOCKSPRING. HE SAYS HE HAS HAD TO REPAIR MORE THAN 100 OF THEM. THAT IS JUST ONE MECHANIC. INTERESTING SINCE JEEP HAS NOT REPORTED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN THAT MANY PROBLEMS. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND MORE THAN 400 COMPLAINTS IN JUST 2 JEEP FORUMS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A REAL ISSUE THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. IT IS NOT JUST A RHD ISSUE THAT WAS RECALLED. THINKING BACK IT EXPLAINS THE OTHER LITTLE THINGS THAT YOU LEARN TO LIVE WITH LIKE WIPERS GOING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY, FOG LIGHT AND TAIL LIGHT ISSUES, AIRBAG WARNING SOUNDS AND LIGHT ETC.. NTSB REALLY SHOULD TAKE A HARDER LOOK AT THIS ISSUE. AIRBAGS ARE A BIG ISSUE. THIS IS CAUSING FIRES AS WELL. STEERING IS GOING OUT. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MORE CLOSELY.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THIS COMPLAINT LIST, AS I UNDERSTAND CURRENTLY ONLY A SMALL WINDOW OF VEHICLES (2007 WRANGLERS, SPECIFIC SUB-TYPES) ARE FIT FOR THIS RECALL AND CUSTOMERS ARE BEING CHARGED UPWARDS OF $500 FOR A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE COMPANY ITSELF. *TR

I'M STILL PAYING OFF THE FINANCE AND IT'S NOT RIGHT THAT I HAVE A LEMON ON MY HANDS.

THE TIPM IS PART OF THE FUSE BOX. MINE FIRST FAILED WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT. THE SYMPTOMS OF THE FAILURE IN MY CASE WAS HORN, WASHERS, DOOR LOCKS, WIPERS ALL GOING AT THE SAME TIME. AFTERWARDS THE ENGINE WOULD STALL AND WOULD NOT START. THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN EVEN AFTER THE KEYS WAS REMOVED. THE CODE WAS U0141 - LOST COMMUNICATION WITH FRONT CONTROL MODULE. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM WITH THEIR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER. THE MODULE CONTINUED TO FAIL AND THROUGH MY OWN RESEARCH I DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE TIPM. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE DEALER, I HAD TO INSIST THAT THEY REPLACE THE TIPM. THEY REMOVED THE TIPM AND CLEANED THE CONTACTS BUT IT NOT HELP. I WAS TOLD THE TIPM WAS BACK-ORDERED AND HAD TO WAIT A MONTH WHILE MY JEEP GATHERED DUST. AFTER A MONTH AND A NUMBER OF CALLS TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD IT WAS FURTHER BACK-ORDERED FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. AT HIS POINT A SEARCHED FOR ONE ON MY OWN. I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE ON THE NEWS TODAY THE CHRYSLER HAS STILL NOT CORRECTED THE BACKORDER ISSUE. THE PLANT THAT PRODUCED THE TIPM'S WAS IN JAPAN AND DAMAGED DURING THE EARTHQUAKE. CAUSED THE PARTS BACKORDER. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO LOCATE A MODULE MYSELF BY CROSS-REFERENCING VARIOUS VERSIONS. I AM CONCERNED THAT IS THE HAVE NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM I MAY BE STUCK WITHOUT A CAR AGAIN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. BY THIS TIME THEY SHOULD HAVE RETOOLED A NEW PLANT TO PROVIDE THE BACKORDERED UNITS. SINCE THE UNITS ARE NOT USED IN THE NEWER MOBILE CARS, I BELIEVE THE CHRYSLER IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON THIS AT THE EXPENSE OF THEIR OLDER CUSTOMER BASE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

I BOUGHT A USED 2008 4 DOOR JEEP WRANGLER JUST OVER 2 MONTHS AGO. IN THIS TIME I HAVE NOTICED EVERY TIME WE FILL UP WITH GAS, NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION WE USE, GAS SPILLS EVERYWHERE. ALSO, THE BATTERY WAS COMPLETELY DRAINED AFTER A MONTH OF HAVING THE JEEP. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY. WE HAD TO PAY THE FOR THE TEST AND THEN WE REPLACED THE BATTERY OURSELVES, A COUPLE DAYS LATER THE JEEP WOULD NOT START AGAIN! I PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. SO NOW AT LEAST ONCE A DAY I HAVE TO PUT THE JEEP IN NEUTRAL TO START IT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IT IS EVENTUALLY GOING TO DRAIN MY BATTERY AGAIN AND I AM GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING BATTERIES.

TODAY IT WAS AT LEAST 10 TIMES - FINALLY I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO PARK THEN IT TURNED OVER. I'VE GOOGLED TO SEE IF OTHERS EXPERIENCING SAME, SEEMS IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM. SOME SAY IT'S A PROBLEM WITH SHIFTER NOT BEING ALL THE WAY IN PARK, OTHERS SAY IT'S "BY A GROUND OFFSET THAT CAUSES THE PCM TO TURN OFF THE STARTER RELAY CONTROL CIRCUIT DO TO THE DOUBLE START OVERRIDE FEATURE OR A TRS INPUT STATE NOT VALID. IF THE CONCERN IS GONE, THEN ADD A 8 GAUGE OR LARGER WIRE BETWEEN ENGINE AND BATTERY NEGATIVE, FROM BODY TO ENGINE, AND ENGINE TO TRANS BELL HOUSING TO TIE THE GROUNDS TOGETHER. IT IS RECOMMEND TO CHECK THE EXISTING GROUNDS AND CABLES ON THE ENGINE AND FOR THE PCM. IF THERE IS A BOLT OR STUD, REMOVE IT AND CHECK TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE CLEAN AND CORROSION/RUST FREE. CLEAN THE EFFECTED AREAS AND THE THREADS IF NEEDED. CHECK THE TRS CONNECTOR FOR SIGNS OF MOISTURE OR CORROSION AND CLEAN CONNECTIONS". THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO! *TR

THE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM AND THE IGNITION ARE TIED TOGETHER IN THE REMOTE. IF THE BATTERY IN THE REMOTE GOES DEAD (HOW DO WE KNOW IT IS THE BATTERY AND NOT SOMETHING IN THE CAR), THEN I CAN GAIN ACCESS USING THE KEY. HOWEVER, I CAN'T START THE CAR BECAUSE THE ALARM IS STILL SET AND ACTIVATED (VERY LOUD). I CAN'T DISARM THE SECURITY SYSTEM WITH THE IGNITION LOCKED OUT BECAUSE THE BATTERY IS DEAD IN THE REMOTE. MY INQUIRY TO JEEP CUSTOMER SERVICE RESULTED IN A SUGGESTION TO SEE IF THE DEALER COULD HELP. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE UNSAFE AS THERE IS NO INFORMATION ON HOW TO OVERRIDE THE LINKING OF THE TWO SYSTEMS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. HELP! *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED BEGAN TO HAVE STARTING PROBLEMS. AT FIRST IT WAS VERY INTERMITTENT AND I ASSUMED IT WAS DUE TO A WORN BATTERY SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH A NEW ONE AND THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS. AGAIN, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WITHOUT REPETITIVE TURNING ON AND OFF OF THE IGNITION UNTIL IT WOULD FINALLY START. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED EVERY FEW DAYS. FINALLY ON THE MORNING OF 8-23-2010 THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THE KEY WAS TURNED. AFTER ABOUT 50 ATTEMPTS IT FINALLY TURNED OVER AND I DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER TO HAVE THE PROBLEM INVESTIGATED. THAT AFTERNOON I RECEIVED A CALL TELLING ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS COMMON AMONGST 2007 AND 2008 WRANGLERS. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THERE IS A DESIGN DEFECT WHICH CAUSES A POOR GROUNDING BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND THE STARTER. HE SAID THAT THEY HAD BEEN INSTALLING A NEW GROUNDING STRAP BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND THE STARTER AND THAT IT WAS $177.00 AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN DESIGN DEFECT. UPON GETTING MY JEEP BACK FROM THE SHOP I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD TO SEE THIS $177.00 GROUNDING CABLE AND IT IS SIMPLY A $10 BATTERY CABLE ATTACHED TO THE NEGATIVE POST ON THE BATTERY AND RUN OVER THE TOP OF THE ENGINE, DOWN ALONG THE FIREWALL, AND ATTACHED SOMEWHERE ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE ENGINE. REALLY, IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT JEEP HAS A POOR DESIGN AND THEN CHARGES OWNERS TO REPAIR IT. FROM WHAT THE DEALER TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW JEEP WRANGLER ABOUT TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO THE CAR WOULD RANDOMLY STOP STARTING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER FOUR TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR. I HAVE NOTIFIED JEEP'S CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY CLAIM THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN FIXED EVEN THOUGH ITS STARTING PROBLEM HAD PERSISTED. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE I WAS DRIVING THE JEEP A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THEN ALL THE CAR'S ALARMS WENT OFF, THEN DASHBOARD FAILED, THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS TURNED ON AND THEN THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO KICK WITHIN ABOUT FIVE SECONDS. I TOOK IT BACK TO MY DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE RADIO. I PERSONALLY HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THE ORIGINAL STARTING PROBLEM. I ALSO AM CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY BE MORE PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR IN THE FUTURE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AROUND FOR ABOUT AN HOUR ON A SNOWY DAY. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION IN 4X4 FOR MOST OF THE DRIVE. I PARKED MY JEEP IN A PARKING LOT AND RETURNED ABOUT AN 45 MIN LATER AND FOUND FIREFIGHTERS PUTTING OUT A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE CHIEF STATED THAT THE FIRE STARTED NEAR THE REAR OF THE ENGINE CLOSE TO THE FIREWALL AND THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. I ALSO HAVE PICTURES AVAILABLE OF THE VEHICLE AFTER THE FIRE YOU MAY CONTACT ME. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 35-40 MPH, CLEAR SUNNY 70 DEGREE MORNING, RADIO TURNED OFF AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. IN THE SECONDS IT TOOK ME TO THINK I'VE STALLED AND NEED A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER, POWER WAS RESTORED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO MY DESTINATION. *TR

I HAVE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED X. AFTER 500 MILES, THE "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL" LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF. AFTER CONSULTING THE OWNER'S MANUAL, WE FOLLOWED THE TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS AND THE JEEP STARTED UP FINE. WE DROVE APPROX 10 MILES BEFORE THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. WE CONTACTED THE JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS. I FIND THIS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM CONSIDERING THE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS IN WHICH THIS PROBLEM COULD OCCUR. *TR

2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH 2200 MILES, PURCHASED NEW. WITHOUT WARNING, IT WOULD NOT START AFTER STOPPING TO GET GAS. WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED, WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD COME ON, BUT NOTHING ELSE WOULD WORK. I REMEMBERED READING A THREAD ON WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM ABOUT SOMEONE HAVING A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH A 2007 WRANGLER, SO I RAN HOME TO READ WHAT HAPPENED WITH HIS JEEP. HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=401047 SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, AND ONE PERSON SAID THAT HE SOLVED THE PROBLEM BY PULLING AND REPLACING FUSE M13 TO RESET THE SENTRY KEY SYSTEM. I TRIED THIS, AND IT WORKED. THE JEEP RUNS FINE, AGAIN. HOWEVER, NOW I AM AFRAID THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AT ANY TIME. *TR

I PARKED MY VEHICLE BRIEFLY AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE WITHIN 2 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE REMOTE LOCK/UNLOCK WOULD NO LONGER WORK. ALL THE LIGHTS AND RADIO WERE FUNCTIONING. THE SECURITY LIGHT WAS ON (RED LIGHT ABOVE THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE). I THEN LOCKED THE VEHICLE USING THE POWER LOCK TOGGLE AND SHUT THE DOOR TO SECURE IT WHILE WAITING FOR HE TOW TRUCK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER VALET USED THE KEY TO OPEN THE LOCK AND WHEN HE TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE, HE SET OFF THE SECURITY ALARM. THE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED TO SILENCE THE ALARM, AND THE VEHICLE WAS SUCCESSFULLY STARTED AFTER THE BATTERY WAS RECONNECTED. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. THE ERROR CODES REPORTED TO JEEP WERE: B1A09 - RKE FOB 2 PERFORMANCE U0168 - LOST COMMUNICATION WITH VEHICLE SECURITY CONTROL MODULE (SKREEM/WCM) ODOMETER READING AT FAILURE - 744 KM *TR
