Consumer Description

I WAS PARKING MY JEEP LIBERTY AT THE JEEP DEALER. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE ENGINE CHECKED BECAUSE OF A MALFUNCTION LIGHT THAT WOULD NOT GO OUT AFTER STARTING THE CAR. I HAD PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND THEN BACKED UP TO STRAIGHTEN THE VEHICLE OUT IN THE SPACE. WHEN I STARTED TO PULL INTO THE PARKING SPACE AGAIN THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD STRIKING THE DEALERSHIP BUILDING DAMAGING THE CONCRETE BLOCK STRUCTURE, DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER LIGHTS, AND FRONT FENDERS. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AND I WILL ATTEMPT TO HAVE ALL SENSORS AND PARTS AVAILABLE RETURNED TO ME. *TR
