Consumer Description

WHILE I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT TODAY I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WITH MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I FELT THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE SURGE. I LOOKED AT THE TACHOMETER AND THE NEEDLE SHOT UPWARDS AND I HAD TO REALLY STAND ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP THE SUV FROM MOVING. I SLIPPED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL TO ELIMINATE THE SURGE ON THE BRAKES AND THE ENGINE WHINNIED AND THEN IDLED DOWN. I IMMEDIATELY MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT MY DEALERSHIP FOR FRIDAY APRIL 20, 2007. THIRD INCIDENT. I AM WELL AWARE OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION SYNDROME WHERE IT IS BELIEVED DRIVERS ARE STEPPING ON THE BRAKE BUT REALLY APPLYING THE GAS. I WAS ALREADY SITTING STILL AND MY FOOT NEVER MOVED FROM ANY PEDAL SO THIS THEORY IS ELIMINATED. *AK
