2008 Jeep Wrangler mileage at failure

718 of the 873 complaints on file for the 2008 Jeep Wrangler give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.

Mileage at failure by component, from owners' complaints to NHTSA
Component	Median	Middle half	Based on
Air Bags	Median 70,000 miles	Middle half 55,000–95,000 miles	Based on 252 complaints
Electrical System	Median 75,000 miles	Middle half 50,000–105,000 miles	Based on 148 complaints
Steering	Median 50,000 miles	Middle half 35,000–80,000 miles	Based on 142 complaints
Fuel/Propulsion System	Median 50,000 miles	Middle half 30,000–75,000 miles	Based on 119 complaints
Suspension	Median 50,000 miles	Middle half 35,000–75,000 miles	Based on 95 complaints
Power Train	Median 60,000 miles	Middle half 30,000–80,000 miles	Based on 52 complaints

A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.

Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.

These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.

Most complaints NHTSA received since May 17, 2021 give no mileage. So that they aren't undercounted, each one received since then that gives a mileage also stands in for those that gave none, which can put a component's median above most of the mileages it is based on.

Mileage from NHTSA's complaints file of October 31, 2026. How these figures are worked out

NHTSA defect investigations

NHTSA's investigations file lists the 2008 Jeep Wrangler in 8 investigations. Audit Queries and Equipment Queries are administrative investigations: they look at whether companies complied with federal vehicle safety requirements, such as reporting, recall and certification rules, not at a possible vehicle defect. A listed model year means only that an investigation names it; it says nothing about any particular vehicle. An open investigation is not a finding that a safety defect exists, and NHTSA can close one without a recall.

These inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling. An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Manufacturer remedy

Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle until the recall repair is complete. Chrysler will notify the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM owners. Mitsubishi owners will be notified by their company. Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.

Air Bags

ODI #11750351

Incident: July 14, 2026 · Filed: July 14, 2026

"On March 4, 2022, Customer Satisfaction Notification S33 (Airbag Clockspring Recall Remedy) was performed on my 2008 Jeep Wrangler by an authorized dealer at 123,314 miles. The vehicle now has 137, 347 miles. The replacement clockspring provided as the official safety remedy has completely failed after only roughly 15,000 miles of driving, illuminating the SRS airbag warning light and completely disabling the supplemental restraint system. The manufacturer's mandated remedy has failed to permanently correct the safety defect, creating a recurring hazard." Tom O'Brian dealership and Stellanis have both refused to repair clockspring which is either defective repair item. "Stellantis corporate directed me to speak with you directly regarding a safety component failure. Tom O’Brien Jeep performed the S33 clockspring campaign on my Wrangler at 123,314 miles. The vehicle only has about 138,000 miles on it now. This critical airbag safety component failed after just 15,000 miles of driving. Corporate told me that if you submit a Digital Goodwill Claim through the dealer portal for an internal part failure on a safety campaign, they can review it for approval. Because this disables my entire airbag system after only 15,000 miles, I am asking you to submit that goodwill request so Stellantis can cover the replacement." ," no federal safety regulator or corporate executive expects a vital component of a vehicle's supplemental restraint/airbag system to fail after just 15,000 miles. This extremely low mileage proves one of two things: either the replacement remedy part was defective out of the box, or the "dust shroud" modification required by the S33 campaign was not installed correctly, allowing the new clockspring to fail prematurely.

ODI #11669626

Incident: April 22, 2025 · Filed: June 27, 2025

April 22, 2025 my 2008 Jeep lost power. There was a sequence, where one warning light was followed by another, followed by a complete loss of power. I charged the battery, car started up, I drove to dealer (a 5-minute trip), and by my arrival the Jeep had again lost all power. Dealer checked the vehicle, and told me the battery and charging system were fine, but the ABS brake modulator was draining the power. They have not been able to get another modulator and the vehicle is still at the dealer (Crown Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Dublin, OH). Losing power precipitously presents a safety hazard.

Service Brakes

ODI #11667173

Incident: February 3, 2025 · Filed: June 16, 2025

The vehicle requires an ABS module. I have been waiting for over 4 months for part availability. According to dealer they dont have any ETA on availability and have been told it may not be something they ever go back to producing. My state requires safety inspection which it will not pass due to this issue. Seems to me that someone needs to be responsible to make a part for these issues.
