2008 Jeep WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4 Structure Body Hood Hinge And Attachments Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	844899
Internal NHTSA #	10383164
Manufacurer	CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Brand	JEEP
Model	WRANGLER 4-DR 4X4
Model Year	2008
File date	14/02/11
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My jeep vehicle is subject to a dangerous defect commonly referred to as hood lift, hood fluttering or wind buffeting. At highway speeds when encountering an oncoming vehicle, a headwind or crosswind, the vehicle's hood will rapidly lift and drop up to 2 inches at a time until the turbulence has passed. Chrysler / jeep has always called this a "characteristic of the vehicle". When this event occurs the driver's vision is dangerously diverted from a long view of the road ahead to one of fixating on the hood movement itself. Of interest is the fact that jeep wranglers sold into the european market require a hood lock that is reported to fix this defect (jeep part 8221046ab). It is my belief that to cure this problem in the us market, jeep should offer this same part at no cost to owners who experience this distracting and dangerous occurrence.
