Consumer Description

2007 JEEP COMMANDER (PURCHASED USED IN THE FALL OF 2012): AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, THE CAR ABRUPTLY SPED UP, CAUSING ME TO LOSE CONTROL. I CRASHED INTO AN UTILITY POLE DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE PARKING LOT EXIT AS A RESULT. THE CAR IS NOW TOTALED AND THE UTILITY POLE WAS DAMAGED (LEANING OVER). I TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 26 FEET, AT A SPEED HIGH ENOUGH TO CREATE THAT AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. AS SOMEONE WHO HAS DRIVEN PROFESSIONALLY FOR MANY YEARS, THIS WAS UNNERVING AND UNUSUAL. ALSO, AROUND 3 MONTHS AGO THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I WAS FOLLOWING A CAR GOING 45 MPH, AND MY COMMANDER SUDDENLY SPED UP, CAUSING ME TO APPLY THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AT THE TIME, BUT NOW I AM WONDERING IF THERE IS/WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR
