POWER TRAIN
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLERS ARE HAVING SO MANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, AND JEEP AND CHRYSLER IS SITTING ON THE THEIR BACKSIDES BLAMING THE DRIVERS? IF MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM, YOU WOULD THINK SOMEONE WOULD LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM, BUT NO THEY DEALERS AND THE COMPANY CONTINUE TO DISREGARD IT FORCING OWNERS TO SPEND MORE AND MORE MONEY. I REFUSE TO SPEND MONEY TO BAND-AID THE ISSUES. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT WHEN IT HAPPENS IT LEAVES THE DRIVER SITTING STILL IN TRAFFIC. I AM AFRAID TO PUT MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE FOR THAT SAME REASON. I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE A DAY IN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE HAD IT, THE DATE OF WHEN IT HAPPENED WAS JUST THE LAST TIME . IF ANYONE IS EVEN LISTENING TO THE OWNERS OR TRYING TO HELP PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS

SUSPENSION
TAKATA RECALL: WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 50MPH OR HIGHER, IF THE JEEP HITS A SMALL BUMP, THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE, ONLY STOPPING THE VEHICLE MAKES IT COME TO A STOP. THIS EXTREME WOBBLE MAKES CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT, WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SEVERE HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN ANY TYPE OF INCLEMENT WEATHER.THIS HAS REQUIRED ME TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES, WHICH IN ITSELF IS ALSO A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE 2 TIMES WITH IN THE FIRST 6 WEEK OF PURCHASE AND THEN THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE SENT IT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP WHICH IT HAS BEEN THERE 3 TIME IN A 2 MONTH PERIOD IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX IT. THEY HAVE REPLACED MY STEERING DAMPENER,SWAY BAR LINK, TRACK BAR, BUSHING, BALANCED MY TIRES, AND REPLACED ANY IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH HAS NOT TO THIS POINT. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM- CAN'T BELIEVE THERE IS NOT A RECALL!

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL. 6 MONTHS AFTER BEING INFORMED OF THE RECALL MY AIRBAG STILL HASN'T BEEN REPLACED. BUT MY LOCAL JEEP DEALER WOULD BE PERFECTLY HAPPY TO SELL ME A BRAND NEW JEEP WITH A BRAND NEW AIRBAG. WHY ARE COMPANIES ALLOWED TO CONTINUE PRODUCING NEW VEHICLES BEFORE FIXING A SAFETY RECALL FOR EXISTING CUSTOMERS? I WANT MY VEHICLE FIXED AND SAFE!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
PURCHASED THIS JEEP IN 2010. EVERY SINCE I PURCHASED IT, THE GAS SPILLS OUT FROM THE TANK WHEN I FILL IT UP, UNLESS I SQUEEZE THE GAS NOZZLE VERY SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY. WHEN THE GAS SPILLS OUT, IT GOES ON MY CLOTHING, THE JEEP, AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A HEALTH PROBLEM, A SAFETY ISSUE, AND AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. JEEP SHOULD FIX THIS FOR FREE!!!
