What owners wrote
2008 jeep wrangler. Consumer states potential safety hazard with the electronic throttle control *tgw the consumer stated he was driving on the highway, when suddenly the vehicle slowed down and the electronic throttle control light illuminated. The dealer found the accelerator pedal position sensor needed to be replaced.
The clock spring on these vehicles are notorious for being faulty. Chrysler recalled right hand drive jeeps for this same issue. This disables the horn the cruise control, the airbag, and the electronic stability control. All very important issues in case of an accident.
