Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD YESTERDAY IN MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND THE THROTTLE WENT WIDE OPEN ON ME, I TRIED TO GET IT TO STOP BY TAPPING THE GAS THINKING IT WAS JUST A LITTLE STUCK, BUT IT WOULD NOT STOP SO I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, HAD TO SLAM IT INTO GEAR, GOT OUT AND RAN INTO A GAS STATION AND HAD THEM CALL 911, CAME BACK OUT AND MY JEEP WAS SHOOTING FLAMES OUT OF MY EXHAUST AND THE ENTIRE UNDER CARRIAGE WAS GLOWING RED. RESULTING IN A LOSS OF MY SERPENTINE BELT, POWER STEERING PULLEY, MELTED MY TRANSFER CASE, AND MORE THAT IS YET TO BE INSPECTED. *TR
