Starter problems of the 2008 Jeep Wrangler

Over the past four months my Jeep has had starting issues. Everything is running fine, go outside and it won't crank. Sometimes it will turn over other times, nothing at all. I've had it towed, purchased a new battery, had the starter, alternator, etc. Checked and all good. Jeep runs good for a couple weeks and then again this morning I'm stranded. This is getting old!.

Lights flash on and off, doors lock and unlock while vehicle is parked and not running, keys are no where near vehicle. Battery completely dead. Replaced battery. Not made aware of tipm issue. New battery completely drained. Had towed to mechanic. Starter, alternator, transmission, etc all checked and no issues. Had to drove several hours to dealership to confirm/fix tipm.

Since I purchased this Jeep I have had starting issues where the Jeep just clicks and won't turn over. Have replaced the battery, starter and the problem continues. Sometimes takes 5 - 8 attempts and sometimes it starts other times nothing. Have gotten it towed and gotten it to the mechanic and it starts when arrived at mechanic. This is frustrating on all accounts and to all involved.

Car at random will not start, lights will not work or radio will stop working . . . Check engine light stays on without any engine issues . . . To pump fuel it takes 20 minutes to fill it up you can't walk away or it will over flow . . . Jeep left me sit the other day and no garage can tell me whats wrong with it. . . Its not the starter . . .

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that while stationary, the ignition failed. The contact stated that the ignition made a clicking sound and hesitated to start. Neuwirth motors of wilmington, north carolina was made aware of the failure and replaced the ignition and the starter but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. Ad.

Randomly won't start. Turn the key and nothing happens. Try 2nd or third try, then it's starts. Have replace battery, starter, tested alternator , ignition, rpm module box and the fuse box module. Car dealer can't figure it out. This problem has been plaguing many Jeep owners. Jeep message boards are full of this same complaint. This should be a recall fix.

The contact owns a 2008 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start on the first attempt. After several attempts, the vehicle was able to restart. The dealer stated that the starter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

Since I purchased this Jeep, it intermittently will not start--typically in warm weather. We replaced the ground on the battery, purchased new battery, starter, neutral safety switch and all transmission sensors. Still, it will not start in warm weather. We literally have to wait until the outside temperature cools, then the Jeep will start. I researched the issue on-line and found many consumer references to this problem for this vehicle--commonly referred to as "the Jeep flu. " many report either the neutral safety switch or the tipm is the issue. Many references complain that Chrysler is fully aware of the problem--tipms on back order--but they are silent. This Jeep has stranded us many times--which can also cause significant harm for consumers. Chrysler should acknowledge this problem and provide a fix!.

When the ignition key was turned to on, the starter only gave a click. After sveral attempts it started. The dealer did a diagnostic and found nothing. The problem continued and became more frequent and severe to the point it wouldn't start after numerous attempts. The starter was replaced with no results, problem continued. From online forums on Jeep I found this to be a widespread problem. It was suggested to put the automatic transmission in the neutral position and try. If it starts, the problem is a faulty transmission range sensor. Putting it neutral when this occurrs, has started the engine the first try dozens of times for me. I took the Jeep to the dealer, gave them this information which they ignored. They replaced a solonoid cable instead. The problem contiued. Returned to the dealer for another diagnostic, they kept the vehicle for 2 days while I rented a vehicle. Nothing was found or fixed in their diagnostic when I picked it up. The problem continues, it did it today twice 6/25/2014, but still starts in neutral for now. The suggested transmission range sensor would be covered in my lifetime powertrain warranty. I believe Jeep knows there is a problem but chooses to ignore it. This seems to effect wrngler models from 2007- 2012 years. It is so widespread it should be a recall issue. Starting in neutral is not a fix.

The head lights will not stay on when turned on. When the head light switch is turned on the come on then off and will not come back on. The horn will blow with out pushing the horn button and at the same time the horn blows the windshield washer sprayer sprays water. After the Jeep as sit for several days without being started the motor will not turn over. The battery is fully charged and all the warning lights on the dash lights up when key is turned on but the starter will not even try to turn over the motor. After attempting to start the motor several times the starter will eventually start the motor. I have researched this problem on the internet and there was a recall for the totally integrated power module "tipm" in 2007. The problems that are occurring with my Jeep are the same problems that were occurring with the Jeep recalls in 2007. Please investigate this issue and recall this tipm as well. Thank you for your time.

I have had several issues and as I research all seem to be related to the clock spring. 1. Airbag lights stay on and ding occasionally 2. Both key fobs stopped working 3. Occasional electrical problem (horn sounds for no reason) 4. At times (1 out of 3) the starter clicks but car does not start (jiggling gear shift fixes the problem) I have read pages and pages of similar posts of problems with other 2008 Wranglers. All complaints are the same. I had the starter replaced for $400+ and that did not fix the issue. I want this resolved now. I currently have a Jeep cherokee and a town and country as well. Thank you.

My 2008 Jeep Wrangler will not start. The starter was replaced and this issue still happens. During searches online I noticed this happens to many folks. During a trip in town and stopping in a bad area my Jeep would not start. This is a big issue and I can not and will not travel in certain areas any more. This is not right.

Car will not start successfully due to faulty electrical grounds not present. When car is in park at random times the car will not start. However, if you put the car in neutral gear will start successfully. I have had this problem for 3 years now and have spent money replacing the battery, starter. These repairs did not and will not resolve this problem. Based on my research and other Jeep owners the work around is to start the car in neutral when this happens or add ground wires from the battery to the engine block and from the transmission to resolve. This should be a recall from the manufacture and not a out of pocket expense to the owners.

When trying to start vehicle the Jeep will not start. Sometimes I have to put it in neutral to get it to start, sometimes I have to remove the key or push the shifter (automatic) into park. This has been an on going problem with my Jeep, and I could not replicate it at the dealer. The dealer replaced the starter and battery which I told them was not the problem.

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 .

Shortly after purchasing new in 2008 the vehicle began to intermittently not start, dealer has replaced key, battery, starter, tipm, pcm, negative cable on battery and installed heavy gauge ground cable to battery. After four years and 93000 miles the problem still exists. It appears this problem is common to 2008 Wranglers and that Chrysler is just throwing parts at it hoping that something will stick. This is a very serious safety issue with me as an engineering soils technician. I need to be confident that my vehicle is going to start so as not to be ran over by a large earth mover while conducting my work duties.
