What owners wrote

I can't figure out what causes the problem but sometimes when I hit a bump in the road (sometimes its a tiny bump even) at varying speeds the jeep will start jumping up and down out of control - its so bad that it will jump me off of the road. The only way to get it to stop jumping is to come to a complete stop and then start driving again.

Reported at 200 miles, October 2007

Tipm- door locks shorted out, fuel pump quits stranding the vehicle on the street, will not restart without pulling and resetting the iod fuse, causes airbag light to flash fault, rear wiper quits. This makes the vehicle unsafe or unable to be used. Vehicle was bought new and wouldn't think much about this if through research I had not found how many failures experienced by many have been related to this parts failure rate.
