Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED WITH 2200 MILES, PURCHASED NEW. WITHOUT WARNING, IT WOULD NOT START AFTER STOPPING TO GET GAS. WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED, WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD COME ON, BUT NOTHING ELSE WOULD WORK. I REMEMBERED READING A THREAD ON WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM ABOUT SOMEONE HAVING A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH A 2007 WRANGLER, SO I RAN HOME TO READ WHAT HAPPENED WITH HIS JEEP.

FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF. AFTER CONSULTING THE OWNER'S MANUAL, WE FOLLOWED THE TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS AND THE JEEP STARTED UP FINE. WE DROVE APPROX 10 MILES BEFORE THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. WE CONTACTED THE JEEP SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS.

WHILE DRIVING, LIGHTS CAME ON, FLASHERS CAME ON, WIPERS CAME ON AND HORN BLARING. WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE). CHECKED WITH DEALER, $260 FOR PART, $180 FOR LABOR BUT THERE ARE ALMOST 300 ON BACKORDER AND NO ESTIMATE TIME TO GET THE PART IN (PART #RLB92236AI). WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL??? I EVEN FELT A LOSS OF POWER STEERING DURING THIS EVENT. ARE WE JUST SUPPOSE TO JUST SIT AROUND FOR 3-6 MONTHS TO GET THE PART? *TR

MY 2008 JEEP WRANGLER 4X4 SPUN A BEARING DUE TO INFERIOR MANUFACTURING, ASSEMBLY AND PARTS. I WAS TURNING A TRAFFIC CIRCLE CORNER AT APPROX 40MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF ONCE THE BEARING SPUN. AS A RESULT, I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH 2007-2008 JEEP WRANGLERS. I THINK THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS AS ITS DUE TO POOR WORKMANSHIP AND INFERIOR PARTS. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX AND DANGEROUS SINCE THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF SHORTLY AFTER THE INCIDENT. *T…

I OWN A 2008 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED. I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH FUEL SPITTING OUT OF THE GAS TANK EVERY TIME I FILL IT WITH GAS.

I TOOK MY JEEP TO A DEALER ON 6/29/11 AND ASKED THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THE REPAIRS UNLESS THEY COULD INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY THE ISSUE.

WHEN TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I GOT OUT AND FOUND BRAKE FLUID LEAKING. CLOSER INSPECTION FOUND THAT THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKE FLUID HOSE HAS BEEN RUBBING AGAINST THE TIRE - THE HOSE WAS WORN FLAT AND THRU ON ONE SIDE. I HAVE NOT COMPLETED ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE TIRES - I HAVE THE SAME SIZE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE JEEP ORIGINALLY. THE OTHER RECALL FOR THE FENDER RUB HAD ALREADY BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. *TR

WHEN BRAKING FROM A SPEED OF 60MPH OR GREATER, THE FRONT END STEERING BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO VIBRATE BACK AND FORTH. IT WOULD ONLY SUBSIDE WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VIBRATION FELT LIKE AN UNSTABLE OSCILLATION THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO MAKE A SHARP TURN IF THE BRAKE WAS NOT RELEASED. THIS SYMPTOM WAS REPEATABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A JEEP DEALER FOR SERVICING. THEY ATTRIBUTED THE PROBLEM TO "STEERING DAMPER HAD PLAY AND WAS LEAKING". PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED BY REPLACING…

FIRE HAZARD - THE FRONT AXLE VENT TUBE IS INCORRECTLY DESIGNED. WHILE INVESTIGATING AN OIL LEAK THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE TUBE HAD BEEN OVERFLOWING, DEPOSITING OIL RESIDUE ON THE FRAME, EXHAUST PIPE AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER. BURNED OIL IS EVIDENT ON THE EXHAUST CROSSOVER PIPE. IN MY OPINION IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A FIRE STARTS. THE DEALER HAS SEEN OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM AND PLANS TO LENGTHEN THE TUBE AND PLACE ITS' END IN A LOCATION AWAY FROM THE EXHAUST.
