NHTSA complaint #10466624, filed 2012-07, 110,000 miles“Please add VIN. Consumer's son was driving approximately 30-35mph when leaving a four-way stop at approximately 100yards while still in third gear, vehicle flipped over. The top of Jeep grazed a pole and the roll bar broke. Also the seat belts were shreaded, and broken loose. The driver was killed.”
NHTSA complaint #836580, filed 1999-04“The steering wheel lock pin has a sleeve that keeps coming out and rubbing the bottom of the steering wheel. It makes a grinding noise on the bottom of the wheel. The danger is, and fortunatley this happened in my driveway both times, that the sleeve will get caught in the locking pin hole on the steering wheel itself. This causes the steering wheel to become immobile!!! This is only capable of happening in a turn due to the angle of the hole on the steering wheel.”
