Consumer Description

OUR 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE HAS EXHIBITED MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION (SUA). IT HAS OCCURRED TO MY WIFE, ONE OF OUR SONS WHO IS AND AEROSPACE ENGINEER AND MYSELF ON DIFFERENT DAYS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND LOCATIONS. I PERSONALLY HAVE EXPERIENCED IT ON TWO OCCASIONS, ONE OF WHICH CAUSED A MINOR ACCIDENT AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT LUNGED FORWARD OF ITS OWN ACCORD, THERE WERE TWO OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR AND A WITNESS OUTSIDE THE CAR WHO REPORTED IT JUST LUNGED AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. CHRYSLER INSPECTED THE CAR, FOUND NOTHING AND HAS CLOSED THE CASE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND ASKED THAT WE DISCUSS THE ISSUE THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTING, FIXED NOTING AND THUS THE CASE IS CLOSED. SO THEY ARE CALLING THREE PEOPLE BOLD FACE LIARS AND MY CONCERN IS THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING SO THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND CAN HAPPEN AGAIN AND MY WIFE IS AT RISK EVERY TIME SHE GETS IN THE CAR. THERE ARE OVER 1,000 COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS FORUMS ABOUT SUA INSTANCES ON JEEP CHEROKEES, CHANNEL 7 NEWS EVEN DID A SEGMENT ON IT A FEW YEARS BACK. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP AT ALL ON THIS ISSUE? THANK YOU. *TR
