AT HIGHWAY SPEED, APPROXIMATELY 50+ MPH, WHEN THE CAR GOES OVER A BUMP OR POTHOLE (IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE A MAJOR BUMP OR HOLE) THE FRONT SHAKES VIOLENTLY UNTIL THE CAR IS SLOWED AND THEN IT RETURNS TO NORMAL. SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND DISCUSSIONS DESCRIBING THIS EXACT SITUATION. THEY CALL IT THE "DEATH WOBBLE".

AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND CHIMES. LIGHT GOES OUT DURING TURNS, BUT RE-ILLUMINATES ONCE STEERING WHEEL IS STRAIGHTENED BACK OUT. PROBLEM IS CHRONIC. I UNDERSTAND JEEP HAS A RECALL ON 2007 JEEPS FOR SAME ISSUE AND RHD VERSIONS FOR LATER YEARS.

THIS COMPLAINT REFERS TO THE EXISTING AIR BAG CLOCKSPRING WIRING FAILURE BEING INVESTIGATED UNDER EA 15-007 AND PREVIOUSLY PE 15-025. IT IS ALSO CLOSELY RELATED TO SAFETY RECALL 11V258 WHICH INVOLVES THE SAME PART FAILURE. LIKE OTHER OWNERS OF MY 2007-2012 JEEP WRANGLERS THE CLOCKSPRING UNIT IN MY VEHICLE HAS INDICATED IT HAS FAILED WITH THE ABS ERROR CODE B1B02 - "DRIVER AIRBAG SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT OPEN". THE ISSUE HAPPENED SUDDENLY AND HAS PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 55,000 MILES AND DURING MY OWNERSHIP IT HAS NOT BEEN SUBMITTED TO EXTRANEOUS ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. JEEP CUSTOMER CARE WAS NOTIFIED OF MY ISSUE (CASE # 29226734) BUT DID NOT PROVIDE OR OFFER REMEDY.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER THE CLOCKSRPING MALFUNCTIONED AND BROKE WHILE GOING AROUND A TURN ON MY NEIGHBORHOOD STREET. MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND A SMALL RIBBON CAME OUT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS ALSO DISABLED MY HORN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC HE ASKED ABOUT A RECALL ON THIS PART BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A COMMON ISSUE. I LOOKED AND SAW THAT THERE IN FACT WAS A RECALL ON THE RIGHT HANDED VEHICLES FOR 2008 BUT NOT LEFT HANDED DRIVE VEHICLES AS WELL AS 2007 JEEPS HAD THE RECALL. I AM HOPEFUL THAT THIS CAN ALSO BE RECALLED IN 2008 LEFT HAND DRIVE VEHICLES AS IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD GO BAD UNLESS YOUR VEHICLE IS LEFT IN THE RAIN DUST OR DIRTY ENVIRONMENTS, WHICH IS NOT HOW MY JEEP IS EVER STORED. I AM HAPPY THAT I WAS ON A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THAT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY!

ON THE 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.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.

I PURCHASED A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 2DR 4X4 FROM FREDERICO DODGE CHRYSLER IN WOODRIVER ILLINOIS ON 04/04/2016. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE WIN MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO GO BACK TO THE DEALER.

THE RED LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS STILL COMING ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. (ELECTRICAL ISSUE). I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT I HAVE A REAR MAIN SEAL (ENGINE) THAT IS LEAKING AND TRANSMISSION COOLANT LINES LEAKING ( TRANSMISSION). I TOOK BACK TO THEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LEAK/SEEPAGE AND THAT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY 3000 MILE/3 MONTH (ENGINE/TRANSMISSION) WARRANTY. I HAVE ONLY OWNED NEW DODGE VEHICLES AND WAS TREATED WITH PROFESSIONALISM.

THE DEATH WOBBLE IS A NIGHTMARE. IT'S TERRIFYING, NOT OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT. THE ENTIRE CAR SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO STOP. IT HAPPENED ON BUSY HIGHWAY (NJ TURNPIKE) AND I ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I HAD TO STOP THE JEEP WITH PEOPLE TRAVELLING AT SPEEDS OF 65MPH AND GREATER. I'VE CALLED DEALERSHIPS, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. IT SOUNDS LIKE A WASTE OF MONEY FOR ME TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO FIX IT. WHY HAS THE JEEP WRANGLER NOT BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS REASON? IT'S OUTRAGEOUS FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THESE CARS COST.
