FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AN UNSAFE CONDITION IS CREATED UPON COMPLETION OF REFUELING. AFTER PUMP CUT-OFF FUEL SPILLAGE OCCURS ON EVERY REFUELING OPERATION. THIS CONDITION IS UNAFFECTED BY CHANGING SPEED AT WHICH REFUELING IS PERFORMED. THIS IS NOT DUE TO "TOPPING OFF," REGARDLESS OF PUMP SPEED, ON FIRST PUMP CUT-OFF SPILLAGE OCCURS. THIS CONSTITUTES WASTED MONEY AND CREATES A PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON EVERY FILL-UP FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, MOST RECENTLY TODAY, 29 NOVEMBER 2015.

AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT IS COMING ON AT VARIOUS TIMES. IT WILL COME ON THEN GO OFF. IT MAKES A CHIMING SOUND. IT DOES THIS WHILE DRIVING WHEN I HIT A HARD BUMP OR TURN THE WHEEL. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY WILL NOT FIX IT. SHOULD THIS NOT BE A SAFETY THING THAT THEY SHOULD FIX FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE? I READ THAT THEY HAVE RECALLED CERTAIN ONES EVEN ONES IN MY YEAR...BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM! I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF I WOULD NEED MY AIRBAGS THAT THEY WOULD NOT WORK. I HAVE READ THIS IS A RESULT OF THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDING REPAIR AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED.

AIR BAGS
ON A 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. THE VEHICLE ALSO NO LONGER HAS FUNCTIONING SPEED CONTROL. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE AND CONCERN FOR MANY 2007-2012 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. THE FAULTY CLOCKSPRING IS THE A SAFELY CONCERN DUE TO A POTENTIAL AIRBAG FAILURE IN THE 2009 JEEP WRANGLER (LHD) DURING AN ACCIDENT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN PUMPING FUEL WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY THE FUEL OVERFLOWS. MUST PUMP IN SMALL AMOUNTS SLOWLY TO KEEP OVERFLOW TO A MINIMUM; HOWEVER, OVERFLOW STILL OCCURS ESPECIALLY AT THE END OF PUMPING WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. OVERFLOW SQUIRTS OUT AND SOUNDS LIKE GARGLING WHEN FILLING WITH FUEL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

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.

I HAVE VIDEO ON MY PHONE OF THE OCCURRENCE TWO SEPARATE TIMES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WITHOUT WARNING ... HORN STARTS BLOWING, WINDSHIELD WASHER COMES ON, LIGHTS FLASH, DOOR LOCKS WON'T WORK, KEY SWITCH OFF DOESN'T STOP THE PROBLEM, SO FAR HAVE ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND OPEN THE HOOD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. RECONNECTING THE BATTERY SOMETIMES WORKS BUT THE HEATER/AC STOPS WORKING... THIS SITUATION IS A REAL ROAD HAZARD!!! AFTER AWHILE THINGS WORK OK UNTIL IT REPEATS. VERY DANGEROUS CAR TO BE ON THE ROAD. JEEP SERVICE PEOPLE RESPOND BY SAYING THAT THAT THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG! WELL SURE, THE EVENT IS OVER WHEN WE ARE ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO BE "FIXED"! BASIS FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR SURE! VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED.

MY CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT IN INTERMITTENTLY LIGHTING AND CHIMING. AFTER SOME RESEARCH THE PROBLEM MATCHES EXACTLY WITH A CLOCK SPRING PROBLEM THAT WAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR THE 2007 MODEL AND THE 2008 RIGHT-HAND DRIVE MODELS. MINE IS A 2008 LEFT HAND DRIVE WITH NO RECALL ON THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND PART AS THE OTHERS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE 2008 JEEP WRANGLER AND OTHER JEEPS HAVE A PROBLEM OF NOT STARTING. IT SOUNDS A IF THE BATTERY, STARTER, BATTERY TERMINALS, IGNITION, SHIFT LEVER, OR A NUMBER OF OTHER ITEMS ARE THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS NO ONE CAN PIN POINT THE PROBLEM, AND PEOPLE LIKE ME ARE PAYING MONEY TO CHANGE OUT PARTS THAT ARE NOT BAD. IF YOU SEARCH THE WEB THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT COVERS ALL OR A LOT OF JEEPS, AND CHRYSLER HAS THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND WHEN IT COME TO TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEIR SOLUTION IS JUST KEEP CHANGING OUT PARTS UNTIL YOU ARE BROKE OR TRADE THE CAR IN, AND PASS THE PROBLEM ON. IN MY CASE I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY THE STARTER BATTERY TERMINALS TOOK OUT THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THE TROUBLE SHOOTING I HAVE DONE IS UP IN THE AIR BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ONLY WHEN IT WANTS TO FAIL. YOU CAN START IT IN PARK SOMETIMES, BUT IF IT FAILS YOU CAN MOVE THE SHIFT TO NEURAL AND IT WILL START. YOU CAN START IT A HUNDRED TIME BUT IT WILL FAIL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE HORN STOPPED WORKING. NO ACCIDENT OR EVENT OCCURRED. POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION. TRIED TO USE THE HORN WHILE IN MOTION ON THE ROAD, NO HORN SOUND WHEN PRESSING INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. VEHICLE HORN DOES SOUND WHEN LOCKING THE VEHICLE AND WHEN SETTING OFF THE "PANIC" ALARM. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CLOCK SPRING. TOOK VEHICLE TO MAINTENANCE SHOP, STAFF SAID THE HORN IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER, BUT THE CLOCK SPRING IS LIKELY "BAD".

AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND MY CRUISE CONTROL NO LONGER WORKS. I AM A LHD 2008 WRANGLER AND AS I HAVE SEEN ACROSS THE INTERNET THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THE LHD 2008 WRANGLERS WHEN THERE IS FOR THE RHD AND 2007 LHD WRANGLERS. THE SAME CLOCK SPRINGS ARE USED IN ALL THESE VEHICLES AND THEY ARE FAULTY ACROSS THE BOARD. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AS MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE IN MY MODEL YR AND LHD. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM SITTING, DRIVE OR WHATEVER THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AS SOON AS I START THE ENGINE AND MY CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK.
