NHTSA Complaint #10086282 — 1999 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE

I WILL START BY SAYING THAT IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE EXPERIENCED A VERY SCARY SITUATION WHILE OPERATING MY JEEP. THE PROBLEM THAT I'VE EXPERIENCING IS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE IT WILL NOT STOP. ON A FEW OCCASIONS WHILE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE JEEP WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL BACKWARDS WITHOUT STOPPING, THIS IS WHILE I HAVE BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE TO STOP IT. IT HAS MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED TWO DAYS AGO (AUGUST 3, 2004) WHILE BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT WORK THE VERY SAME THING OCCURRED, THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED THE JEEP WAS A MEDIAN THAT WAS BEHING MY PARKING SPACE WHERE IT IS MY FEAR THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE ONLY REASON THE JEEP STOPPED. MY FEAR IS THAT SOMEONE MAY BE WALKING BEHIND OR SOMEONE ELSE'S PROPERTY WILL BE BEHIND ME, AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE JEEP IN TIME. I'VE TRIED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO TAKE IT TO A JEEP DEALER OR THE COMPANY WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (CARMAX), ALL I EVER GET IS AN APPOINTMENT THAT IS EITHER A MONTH OR MONTH AND A HALF AWAY. I BELIEVE THAT AT THIS POINT THIS VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I HAD THE BRAKES AND ROTORS DONE ALL THE WAY AROUND IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. *AK
