NHTSA Complaint #747932 — 1998 JEEP CHEROKEE

CAR AMOST RAN OVER ME, STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. WAS PLACED IN PARK AND JUMPED OUT. DID A MODERATE AMT OF DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE. I DROVE IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG AND IT WAS NOT THE CAR IT WAS ME THE DRIVER. TOLD ME THE JEEP PASSED INSPECTION AND THAT I JUST THOUGHT I PUT IT IN PARK. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ON 7/1/01 AGAIN, HOWEVER THE JEEP WAS STOPPED BEFORE STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE. ALL OF THIS INFROMATION CAN BE VERIFIED BY A POLICE REPORT AND INSURANCE INFORMATION. THIS CAUSED A MODERATE AMT OF DAMAGE. IF SOMEONE WAS BEHIND THE CAR, IT COULD HAVE CRUSHED THEM. I HAD MINOR SCRAPES FROM TRYING TO GET BACK IN VEHICLE AND STOP IT TO AVOID A COLLISION. THIS HAS COST ME AN INCREASE IN INSURANCE PREMIUMS AND ALSO A WRECK ON MY RECORD. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY INCIDENT. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP CONVINCED ME IT WAS OPERATOR ERROR. HOWEVER, AFTER THIS HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK, I AM NOT SO SURE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.*AK
