Consumer Description

I RENTED A JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED THROUGH ALAMO IN PUERTO RICO FOR 2 WEEKS. ON 5 OCCASIONS WHILE MY FOOT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE WITH FORCE, THE CAR SURGED FORWARD. MY FOOT WAS ONLY ON THE BRAKE. IN EACH INSTANCE, I WAS FORCED TO THROW THE CAR INTO PARK TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM SURGING FORWARD. THIS CREATED A DANGEROUS CONDITION IN 3 INSTANCES, 2 WHERE I MIGHT HAVE HIT LARGER VEHICLES (ONE A FORESTRY TRUCK, ANOTHER A LARGE BOX TRUCK) ON NARROW MOUNTAIN ROADS, 1 WHERE I WAS AT THE EDGE OF PARKING PAD THAT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE JEEP GOING DOWN A STEEP MOUNTAIN RAVINE.
