Four problems related to carrier/rack have been reported for the 2008 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My Jeep was missing and before it caught fire it started lunging real bad I stop the Jeep and got out because I heard crackling and I looked and saw it was on fire. I called the fire department and it burned completely.
We own a 2008 Jeep Wrangler sahara, noticed a crack at top of windshield when getting into the vehicle. We have been having subzero temps, also there are no signs of anything that may have hit the windshield (ex. Rock, etc). After checking it, my first thought was that it looked like a stress crack, because of the location and way the crack looked, it was about 3" long and vertical, and of course its now spreading. After checking online, there are a lot of reviews with the same problem on Jeeps. One review suggested filing a complaint on this site, so that's what im doing and going to call Chrysler in the morning. Not expecting them to do anything about it, but if there are enough complaints, maybe it will set off a recall.
2008 rhd Jeep Wrangler air bag light is on meaning airbag will not deploy if an accident occurs. Clock spring/corrosion issue causing horn not to work which is a safety hazard. Many mail carriers are having the exact same problems with these vehicles. Vehicle will not always start. This whole vehicle should be recalled as it has major electrical issues. The motor went out on mine at 52,000 miles. The warranty is only for 36,000 miles. The motor was rebuilt by a Jeep dealer and I was told it had a spun bearing. The air blower controller also does not work half of the time. These rhd Jeeps are all lemons and pose safety hazards to mail carriers who spend most of their day out on the road. The horn issue is a threat to the public as you cannot warn an unsuspecting driver or pedestrian of your precese. The airbag issue is a threat to the driver. You spend $25,000 on a vehicle, you expect better.
2008 Jeep Wrangler rhd postal vehicles used by rural carriers for usps. Those of us who purchased the vehicles are having issues with airbag malfunction indicator light and no horn use or intermittent usage. One item of interest possible cause is the springclock in the steering column as component that operates both horn and air bag circuits. This item has been a problem in years past with Jeep. Concerned with a deployment of faulty air bag issue mostly, trying to get my vehicle in for a complete investigation. Technicians are by appointment only when they are in. Forums at ruralinfo. Net confirm others are having these same issues. My vehicle has 50k miles when problem occurred.
