The report also showed that more than
40 ignition cycles were recorded following the crash, which

There was an
11-mile discrepancy between the crash data report and the displayed odometer reading, which "
is not considered unusual," the report said.
"Similar discrepancies have been noted by Jeep dealership service departments and other crash reconstructionists," the report said.
