Consumer Description

I WAS PULLING IN BEHIND A PARK VEHICLE IN ORDER TO PARK MYSELF. I WAS IN A HS PARKING LOT WHERE SOME MUCH MORE SERIOUS COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I WAS MOVING APROX 1-3 MPH AND ABOUT TO STOP AND PARK WHEN THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED. I WAS 10-12 FEET BEHIND THE PARKED VEHICLE. THE TRUCK ACCELERATED SO HARD IT PINNED ME BACK TO THE SEAT. I FRANTICLY TRIED TO STOP THE TRUCK AND AT THE SAME TIME THE ANTI COLLISION KICKED IN AS WELL TO SLOW THE TRUCK. UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS NOT QUICK ENOUGH TO PREVENT FROM HITTING HE CAR IN FRONT. THE LOWER PORTION OF MY BUMPER HIT THE MID RARE OF THE OTHER VEHICLE AS THE TRUCK MUST HAVE BEEN RAISED FROM THE FORCE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT NIGHT AND FILED A CLAIM WITH FCA. THEY PULLED THE DATA FROM THE TRUCK AND DID AN ANALYSIS. THEY ARE CLAIM THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION AND I ACCELERATE AND BRAKED LATE. THE REPORT SHOWS THAT THE TRUCK ACCELERATED TO 100%!. YOU SIMPLY DO NOT ACCELERATE TO 100% BY ACCIDENT WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN INDICATED THAT SOMETHING EITHER KICKED IN AND MADE THE TRUCK ACCELERATE OR THE PEDAL JAMMED BUT SOMETHING. I AM ADAMANT THAT I DID NOT ACCIDENTLY ACCELERATE TO 100% BY ACCIDENT. I SPENT THE MONEY ON THIS TRUCK TO HAVE THE PIECE OF MIND THAT ME AND MY FAMILY ARE SAFE. I NO LONGER HAVE THAT COMFORT. I HAVE ATTACHED THE DATA REPORT. I CANNOT ATTACHED THE CORRESPONDENCE FROM FCA AS I CANNOT ATTACH A WORD DOCUMENT
