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.
The vehicle power abruptly drops while driving losing anywhere from 100 to 500 rpms. If the vehicle is stopped at a signal or traveling at lower speeds the power drop will shut down the vehicle. The problem is random and very unsafe
