NHTSA Complaint #11129121 — 2017 JEEP COMPASS

STOP SYSTEM THAT STOPS THE CAR AT RED LIGHTS FOR FUEL ECONOM. MY CAR WOULD ALL OF THE SUDDEN ACCELERATE WITHOUT MY PUTTING FOOT ON GAS PEDDLE. TOOK TO DEALER. HE SAID THERE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH IT, AND WIPED THE MEMORY AND DID AN UPDATE . MY CONCERN IS THAT WHEN IT DID THIS I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT ACCELERATED SO FAST I ALMOST LOST CONTROL TOO. WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BUT WHEN THEY HOOKED IT UP TO FIND ANY ERROR CODES THEY FOUND 2. THAT'S WHEN THEY DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT THEY SAID IT WAS A KNIWN ISSUE YET NO RECALL TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR THE UPDATED FIX. HADVI NOT BEEN TRAINED FOR SITUATIONS LIKE THIS I OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED.THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING DOWN HILL I WAS RIDING THE BRAKE BECAUSE OF THE HILL. WHEN I HAD LET UP OFF THE BRAKE SLIGHTLY THAT'S WHEN IT ACCELERATED SO FAST I ALMOST LOST CONTROL.
