Consumer Description

WHEN BACKING INTO PARKING SPACE THE CAR TOOK OFF LIKE A ROCKET SHIP/FULL THROTTLE (5.7 HEMI) LIKE IT HAD A MIND OF IT'S OWN. THE RESULT WAS PROPERTY DAMAGE (UNKNOWN AMOUNT) AND CAR DAMAGE OVER $7600.00 NOT INCLUDING CAR RENTAL FOR 2 WEEKS. CHRYSLER SENT INSPECTOR TO BODY SHOP AND THEIR DETERMINATION WAS THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND SAID THE CASE IS CLOSED. A JEEP/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY JANUARY 31, 2014 UNDER WARRANTY. WE KNOW THIS WAS NOT DRIVER ERROR. IT WAS THE SCARIEST 15 SECONDS OF OUR LIVES AND COULD HAVE EASILY KILLED SOMEONE. NOW WE WONDER WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN? WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, HAS THERE EVER BEEN AN ENGINE GOING TO FULL THROTTLE ACCIDENT INVOLVING A 2005 JEEP/CHRYSLER PRODUCT? *TR
