What owners wrote
While turning to park the engine throttle suddenly accelerated & jeep jumped the curb, crashed thru a fence & ended up in the ocean. We were rescued by dana point harbor patrol.
Airbag clockspring was replaced under recall m031 in early 2012. The part recalled had failed again causing airbag light to be illuminated, loss of speed control, loss of steering wheel audio controls, loss of horn, and loss of "step" and "reset buttons for the information center. This issue started out when turning the steering wheel in the left or right position and within a few weeks has became a constant problem to no avail.
